his chair and looked around. Who
were these Sherrills? Who was Cor

Sherrills? What, beyond all, was their
and Corvet's relation to Alan Conrad
to himself? The shock and confusion
he had felt at the nature of his recep-

ness Of his transition from his little
Kansas town to a place and people

and hastily he dropped the window to
his right and gazed out. The lake,
as he had known since his geography
days, lay to the east of Chicago ;
therefore that void out there beyond
the park was the lake or. at least, the
harbOr. A different air seemed to

river full of Ice with tug dropping

bridge which the cab crossed; build

many minutes; now n overwhelmed,

Of the wind over his prairies, came
from one point; even the monstrous
city murmur was centered In compari-

slightest breeze; that roar was the
voice Of the water, that awful power

Alan choked and gasped for breath.

had snatched off his hat and, leaning
out of the window sucked the lake air
in his lungs. There had been nothing
to make him expect this overwhelming
crush of feeling. The lake-he had
thought Of 1t, of course, as great
body of water, an interesting sight
for prairie boy to see; that was all.
No physical experience In all his
memory had affected him like this !;
and it was without warning; the
strange thing that had stirred within
him as the car brought him to the
Drive downtown was strengthened

frightened, half dizzied him. Now, as
the motor suddenly swung around a
corner and shut the sight of the lake
from him, Alan sat back breathless.
The car swerved to the east curb
about the middle Of the block and
came to a stop. The house before
which 1t had halted was a large stone
house Of quiet, good design; 1t was
some generation older, apparently,
than the houses on each side of 1t,
which were brick and terra Gotta of
recent fashionable architecture Alan
only glanced at them long enough to
get that impression before he opened
the cab door and got out; but as the
cab drove away, he stood beside his
suitcase looking up at the old house
which bore the number given in Ben
jamin Corvet's letter, then around at
the other houses and back to that
again.
The neighborhood obviously pre-
cluded the probability of Corvet's be-

Seek to Assist
Chinese Students

, Tokio-The government will propose
at the next session of the Diet that
the money due Japan from China under
the Boxer indemnity agreement, shall
be appropriated to assist Chinese stu
dents who wish to study in Japan.
Many of these are now without funds
owing to the failure of the Peking
government to forward their remit
tances and the refusal of the japanese
banks to advance any further sums to
them on the ground that there is no
security available. According to the
government the amount of indemnity
due is yen Al, 5000 and what will be
due by 1910 amounts to yen 10000, 600.
The governments plan is to set aside
for the above purpose one million yer
out of 1.-THE annual instalment amount
ing to 100000 for the aid of the
Chinese studying now and those to
study in the future and to appropriate
the remaining 100000 yen per annum
for the benefit of those Chinese stu
dent who are coming to this country
for study after 1910.

Declares Retailers
Are Farmers Allies
Farmers and Retailers Are Natural
Allies Declares Official of
National Organization.

The action of the National Retail
Dry Goods association at its conven-
ton in New York in appointing a
standing committee of merchants to
keep in touch with committees of agri-
cultural organizations brings hope of
some new things worth while.
This committee was authorized to be
ready at all times to meet with repre-
sentatives of agricultural organizations
"for the purpose of discussing and de-
veloping points of mutual interest be-
tween the American farmer and the
American retail distributor" and to
develop "closer relations with the
American farm organizations"
When one recalls the suspicion be-
tween merchants and farmers organi-
cations few years ago, which was
based largely on the attitude of the
latter towards "middlemen," this eff
fort of the great national body of re-
tailers to work with agricultural asso-
Citations indicates a swing of senti-
ment in desirable direction. Spokes-
men for farmers, including the secre-
tary of agriculture and the president
of the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, occupied prominent places on the
program of the retailers convention.
and there were many signs that the
fact that their prosperity is indissolu-
bly, linked with that of the farmers,
who furnish about forty per cent of
the country's purchasing power, is now
fully appreciated by the merchants

an expensive looking fur.
The minor sentences of fines ranged
from $25 to 5000 and prison sentences
from two to eighteen months.
