As he and Helen left the detective
bureau and proceeded south in La

the day house detective, who at that

Immediately the circumstance that
Howard Gentry had arrived Tuesday
night instead of Wednesday was con-
firmed. Then, as an interesting ad-
dendum to this, the clerk averred that
about 1880 o'clock on the morning OF
Wednesday, the twentieth, a man had
applied at the desk to see Gentry on
matter of pressing Importance. In
few minutes the man was invited up
to Gentry's room. Shortly the young
man, accompanied by the stranger,

Hazard signified that he did; but
Helen was Indifferent, having no in
clination to view the prisoner.
Hazard was shown to cell where
tall, well-knit young fellow lay
stretched upon an iron cot. He ap-
peared to be in a drunken stupor.
His handsome, refined face was
marred by a CHASTITY pallor, his black
hair was rumpled, and from time to
time he moaned and stirred uneasily
in his sleep.
Suddenly Hazard leaned over the
sleeper and shifted. At once the du-
bious expression cleared from his face,
and in another instant he was back in
McInerney's office.

He and Helen returned to the Suthr
erlands, and an hour or so later they
were informed that Purcell had beer
brought in and that Gentry had in a
measure recovered his sober senses,
though he was still dazed and un-
steady.
Five minutes later Felix Hazard
was again in tie young mans cell.
The talk lasted until long after night

DEMONSTRATION Of
FARM TRACTOR
Dallas County Scene Of National
Tractor Demonstration for the
Southwestern States.
(By Associated Press)

Dallas, Texas, July 1S.-Something
unusual I'm nstrations-that of
tho tractor performing all kinds of
farm work-was opened here today
as the first Of several such exhibits
under the auspices of the National
Tractor Demonstrations, which will
conduct other non-partisan and un-
commercial exhibits in other parts
Of the United States as the harvests
progress. The Dallas affair has been
designated as the Southwestern
demonstration, and was intended for
the interests Of farmers and land
owners in Texas, Arkansas, New
Mexico and Louisiana.
The demonstrations will be held
at Grand Prairie, a farming center
about Is miles west Of here. and will
continue until July 81. Every pos.
sible feat to be performed by trac-
ton engine, from preparing the
ground for planting to the harvesting
Of the crop will be shown.
The demonstration has the official
recognition and recommendation of
agricultural colleges Of this section
Of the United States, most of whom
will send representatives to Dallas
for the occasion.
1t was expected that not less than
so factor manufacturers would have
exhibits on the ground, In addition
to which there will be all varieties of
farm machinery, including those OPP
Grating as auxiliaries to the traction
engines.
Probably the good roads section !
will be as interesting to the general !
public as anything else. Daily les.
sons in road grading and ditching
will be given, in which the various
machines will be used.
Dallas was preparing to accommo.
date 100000 visitors during the four
days OF the demonstration.
