What Happens in the Dark?

The farmer receives on an average only about one
third OF what the consumer pays for meats, grains,
fruits, wool, vegetables and cotton Somewhere be-
tween producer and consumer an enormous toll is
added to the cost of farm-grown necessities.
The city consumer, not seeing the proft-aking along
the road to him, blames the farmer for high prices

in the dark is at the mercy of the system To turn

CHAPTER vi.
The Hawk reached the door as CAL
houn. stepped into the corridor from
the general office and passed by out
side, evidently making for the main
entrance OF the building. He opened
the door cautiously the width of a
craclk-and held It in that position. A
mans voice. low, guarded, from the
corridor. but from the opposite direc-
ton to that taken by Calhoun,
reached him.
'F[ere! Calhoun! Here!"
Calhoun halted. There was silence
for an instant, then Calhoun retraced
his steps and passed by the door
again. There We're a few hurried

could not catch; and then the foot

corridor.
The Hawk opened the door wider
and peered out. The two men were
well down the corridor now; and now.
as they passed the single incandes-
cent that lighted that end of the hall
Calhoun's companion reached up and
turned 1t out.
"Why, say-thanks!" murmured
the Hawk, and stepped out into the
corridor himself.
It was now quite dark at that end
and the men had disappeared. The
Hawk moved silently and swiftly
alorlg, keeping close to the wall.
Presently he caught the sound of
their voices again, and nodded to
himself. He remembered that In go
ing out this way yesterday he had
noticed that the corridor, for some
architectural reason, made a sharp
right-angled jut just before il gave on
the side-street entrance. He stepped
now across to the other side of the
corridor, and stole forward to a posi-
tiorl where he could look diagonally
past the projecting angle of the jut
The two men, standing there, showed
plainly in the light from a street arc
that shone into the entranceway thru
the large plate glass square over the
door. The Hawk, quite secure from
observation, nestled back against the
wall-and an ominous smile settled
on the Hawks lips. The face OF Call
ho,in's companion was covered with
mask.
There's nothing to be leery about
here" the man was saying. There's
no one goes out or comes in this way
at night. Well, it's nice mess, eh?
