For the twentieth time that morn
Ing Eric Spencer looked up expectant-
~ as someone entered his private Of
fee, and for the twentieth time he
sank back In his chair with sigh.
All morning he had been expecting
someone. but as the hour reached noon
he almost gave up In despair. With
each new arrival ut his office came
disappointment. There seemed to he
more coming In than usual, and their
business was 30 trivial II irritated him.
He would have gone to the club to

would never do for, him not to be
there when she arrived.
For the fiftieth time he pulled open
the top drawer Of his desk and took
out rubber for woman's left shoe.
What a very small rubber 1t was, he
thought as he placed It beside his own
big foot. Carefully he placed the rub
her buck In the drawer and took out
n folded, mud-besmirched paper,

words ON II, his face lighting up with
pleasure AZ he read and re-read It.
IF I could only and her" he ejacu-
lated. as he put the paper back In the
drawer with the rubber.
A newspaper was the next to take
his attention. He pulled 1t from his
pocket, opened It at the classified col
umn and found the advertisement he
was looking for under Lost and
Found" There was no mistake In the
insertion. 1t was printed just as he
had given It to them. for wonder
He read It aloud to make sure:

Washington, July 10.-Goverr1me ent hopes for billion bushel wheat crop received a setback today, when the de- partment of agriculture July foreca st showed a reduction of 10000, 900 bushels in the prospective crop. Un- favorable weather conditions during June cut the estimated harvest to 891 100000 bushels from the 931.- 100000 bushels forecast in June. Pro ductfon estimate tes on other crops also were slightly reduced.
 A record production of corn, the most valuable of all the country $ crops, is promised, with an estimate of 3,160,O00.Q00 bushels. The acre age, however, is almost } per cent smaller than planted last year, the total being 113,835, 900 acres.

 An essential preliminary to the de- velopment of Alaska, Secretary Red field said is that Alaskan waters should be made safe for navigation and he pledged the continuous serv- ices of the Coast and Geodetic Survey to that end. The hope of Alaska to have a coast dotted with fishing vil- lages is regarded with especial favor by the departm ent, which will lend it's efforts to bring this about. MT. Redtield also pointed out the possi- biHty of establishing a shipyard in Alaska and said that if such an en- terprise were in operation now, the government would be glad to have it build two of four launches needed for the Fisheries service.
 Extension of the facilities for carrying on the work of the Coast Survey Bureau of Lightships and Blu reau of Fisheries is planned by the department, including new vessels for each A new district for the Steam boat Inspection Service has been made necessary by the growth of the work in the northwest and headquar- ters probably will be opened at Port land or Seattle.
