The DESTROYINGANGE
BY Louis Joseph Vance

dow, by night, and to swim over to the
beach In her wake the next morning,
but what right had anybody else to
constitute himself her shadow? Be
sides, 1t was possible that the man
was Drummond.
He strobe forward and stood over
the man, looking down at his back. 1t
was true, as he had assumed-the fell
low was watching the woman. And
his back was very like Drummond's.
A little culver of excitement mingled
with anticipative satisfaction ran
through him. Now, at last, the mys-
terry was to be cleared up, his future
relations with the pseudo-suicide de-
fined and established.
Deliberately he extended his bare
foot and nudged the mans ribs.
"Drummond :" he said in q
clear voice, decided but unaggressive.
With an oath and what seemed a
single, quick motion, the man jumped
to his feet and turned TO Whitaker a
startled and iniamed countenance.
"What the devil ~ he cried angrily.
"Who are you? What do you want?
What d'you mean by coming round
here and calling me Drummond?"
He was no more Drummond than he
was Whitaker himself.
For that matter" - something
clicked in Whitaker's brain and sub
consciously he knew that his temper
was about to take the bridge-"what
do you mean by spying on that lady
yonder?"
1t being indisputably none of his
concern, the unfairness of the question
only lent 1t offensive force. The man
made this painfully clear through the
medium of an intolerable epithet and
an attempt to land his right fist Oh
Whltaker's face.
The face, however, was elsewhere
when the fist reached the point fol-
which it had been aimed; and Whit
aker closed in promptly as the fellows
body followed his arm, thrown off bal
ance by the momentum of the unob
structed blow.
What followed had entered into tn,
calculations of neither. Whitaker fel
himself suddenly falling through al
thick with binding, choking cloud o
dust and sand. The body of the othe
was simultaneously wrenched violentl.

Grain, Flour and Meal Stocks.

Commercial stocks of wheat report
ed to the United States department of
agriculture in food survey dated
April /, 1918, amounted to 29,124,27S
bushels, according to statement just
issued by the bureau of markets. This
amount was held by s,s76 firms consist
ing of elevators, warehouses, grain
mills and wholesale grain dealers, and
was slightly less than 3s per cent of
the stocks held by the same firms on
April l, 1917. The commercial visible
supply figures for the nearest date, as
published by the Chicago Board of
Trade, namely, April 6, 1918, showed
only 1895, 900 bushels as against A.
1863, 900 bushels year ago; while
Bradstreet's reported 10,1s0,O00 bush
els on hand March 80, 1918, as against
4s,525,0 900 bushels for the same date
year earlier.
1t is pointed out that the compare
tive figures thus shown for the COM
mercia stocks of wheat this year and
last should be considered in connec-
ton with the stocks still remaining on
the farms. No figures are available
with reference to the estimated stocks
on Farms for April ]. However, fig
ures previously issued by the depart
ment show that the estimated stocks
on farms for March l, 1918, were great
err than for the same date a year
earlier, being 111,650,000 bushels as
against 100,650,00O bushels. At the
same time, the movement of wheat to
the eelven primary markets, according
to trade figures, was considerably
greater in March, 1917, than in March,
this year, being 2O,062,O0 bushels as
against 1904 900. These figures indi-
cate, it is stated, that the stocks of
wheat remaining on farms April
this year were greater than those of a
year ago.
The survey covered commercial
stocks of wheat, corn, oats, barley, and
rye, together with flour and flour sub
stitutes. Data for stocks on hand April
l, 1917, as well as present stocks, were
obtained.
The stocks of other cereals reported
were, in round figures: Corn, 80 mil
lion bushels; oats, 46 million; barrier,
IA million, and rye, 4 million. These
figures represent the following per-
centages of the April, 1917, stocks:
Corn, 104 per cent; oats, &c per cent;
barley, 142 per cent; and rye, 100 per
cent. Hence, while the commercial
stocks On wheat and oats were consid-
erably less on April ], 1918, than on
April 1, 1917, the commercial stocks of
corn, barley and rye were larger.
The wheat flour, including a small
quantity of whole wheat and graham
flour, amounted to 2,31s,s47 barrels, re-
ported by SASS firms. This amount
was 81 per cent of the stocks held one
year ago. The stocks of wheat flour
substitutes, namely, of flour and meal
from grains other than wheat, were all
considerably larger than those of a
year ago. OF these wheat-fiour sub
stitutes, the stocks of corn -four and
meal, amounting to a total of 35 million
pounds, is by far the most important
item. This amount represents nearly
200 per cent of the commercial stocks
of corn flour and meal on hand April
1, 1917.
