Wheat Growers Con-
ference Held In Denver

in this country. A 80 cent raise in
wheat should not affect the present
price of bread"
The immediate effect of this plan
upon the farmer, as it is being car
ried on through the Colorado Wheat
Growers association in this state, is
to spread the payments he receives on
his wheat from period of several
months, over the whole year, accord
ing to Mr.. Lampson.
Financing of the nationwide pool
was one OF the principal points of
discussion at the Tuesday meeting, ac-
cording to directors. Eugene Meyer,
chairman of the War Finance board
and of the Coolidge cooperative mar
keting committee, is said to have as
sured the growers of every facility of
the federal government in the cam
paign.
Among those who attended the
Denver conference were George c,
Jewett, manager of the American
Wheat Growers Associated; Aaron
Sapiro, national cooperating expert;
Walton Peteet, marketing director of
the American Farm Bureau fedora
tion; Carl Williams, president Amer

SYNOPSIS

Taking refuge from storm in an English farmhouse, Harry Marsland and Elsie Maynard, who never had met before, find the body of Frank Lumsden, a returned soldier, mur- dered. The purse is rifled and curious cryptogram is found on the floor. It is first supposed Lumsden was murdered for the money of his grandfather, who died leaving his hid den wealth somewhere about the premises. ,Crewe, a famous detec- tive, takes up the unraveling of the baffling mystery with Scotland Yard detectives and local police. Who killed Lumsden? There are many clues and suspects, but all of them wide of the mark. Interesting developments are recorded as the story proceeds to it's amazing climax.

CHAPTER II (Continued)

~ OSFORD again looked at Crewe out of IT. his little black eyes, but said nothing. M His business caution acted as curb on his natural geniality, for he had learned by experience of the folly of giving infor- mation to strangers until he knew what bus ainess brought them into the garage.
 Not much the worse for its accident, y said Crewe. 'You were not long in getting it into repair"
 The proprietor's glance wandered back ward and forward from the car to his vis- itor.
 "As good as ever,' he said Do you want to buy t?'
 "No,'' said Crewe q have one already" He nodded in the direction of his car out side.
 ''Shes beauty" said Gosford. "But those Bodesly touring cars run into lot of money. You paid big price for her, I'll be bound'
 "Oh, yes You motor car people are never reasonable-manufactu garage proprietors repairers, you are all alike"
 No, no, sir; we are very reasonable here. That is what pride myself or.'
 ''In that case I'll know where to bring my repairs. But today all I want is some petrol. That is what I came for, but when l saw this car thought I'd like to see what sort of job you had made of it. The last time l saw it was when it was lying in the ditch about six miles from here on the road to Ashlingsea."
 "Oh, you saw her there?" Said Mir Cos ford, genially. But there wasn't much the matter with her, beyond bent axle"
 "I hope that is what you told the gen. tleman who left it there-Mr.-?"
 "Mr. Brett" said MT. Gosford, coming to the relief of his visitors obvious effort to recall a name.
 "Ah, yes; MT. Brett said Crewe. "Was it Thursday or Friday that I met him on the Ashlingsea road in this car?"~
 Friday, sir. This car wasn't out on Thursday. Friday was the night of the big storm. She was out in it all night. didn't know where she was until MT. Brett rang me up on Saturday morning"
 "So he was in Staveley on Saturday morning?" -
 "No, no, sir. He said he was speaking from Lewes He must have caught an early train out from Staveley or Ashlingsea be- fore we were open That is why he didn't ring up before"
 Crewe, on leaving the garage, drove through the western outskirts of the town and kept on till he passed the sand dunes, and the cliff road stretched to Ashling- sea like a strip of white ribbon between the green downs and gray sea. About mile past the sand dunes he saw small stone cottage, with thatched roof, standing back on the downs about 50 yards from the road.
 Crewe stopped his car and walked up the slope to the little cottage. The gate was open, and he walked through the tiny garden, which was crowded with sweet sented wallflowers and late roses, and knocked at the door.
 His knock brought a woman to the door --an infirm and bent old woman, with scat tered gray locks falling over her withered face. She peered up at him with rheumy eyes.
 Crewe looked at the old woman in some doubt whether she was not past answering

had drove back along the road unell ne found it."
 CHAPTER 12
 If was not Elsie Maynard's first Vlsi' 'o London. but her visits had been so few tha' London had presented itself to her as Vsis' labvrinthN of streets, shops and houses. Ane ,,rovail;no impression of all previous visits was that. since it was a simple matter to geU lost involuntarily in the labyrinth 1t would be a simple matter for any one to disappear voluntarily and remain hidden from search: Rut on this occasion, when there was heeo for secrecy as to her visit and Its oDJec'' she fanced the vast city to be full of pry- ing eyes.
 It seemed improbable that among the thousands of people she met Tn the streets there would not be some one who Knew her' There might be some one watching her- some one who had received telephone mes sage regarding her journey by tram rom Ashlingsea. To disappear from some one who was watching her seemed to be lmpos- sible. for among the throng of people It was imnossible to single out the watcher.
 From Victoria station she took tuoe ticket to Earl's Court, so as to give the im- pression to any one who was following her that her destination was in the west of Lon don. She inspected closely all the peo- ple who followed her into the carriage. She got out at Holborn and then took bus to Aldeate. She walkedd along to the junction of Whitechapel road and Commercial road' where she took tram. After short jour ney by tram along Commercial road she got out and walked along the south side of the street, keeping lookout for the names or the side streets.
 When she reached Qulter street she turned down it and eventually stopped at the door of No. 23. It was a short street with monotous row of houses on each side. At one side of the corner where it joined Commercial road was steam laundry, and at the other side grocer's, which was also postoffice. The faded wappings of the timed goods which had been displayed for many months in the windows were indica- tive of the comparative poverty of the local ity, In the ground floor windows of most of the houses were cardboard notices show ing that tailoring was the craft by which the inhabitants earned their bread. It was here that a great deal of the work sent out by tailors' shops in the city was done, and the placards in the windows proclaimed desire for work from chance customers whose clothes needed repairs and pressing.
 There were dirty, ragged children playing in the gutters, and dirty, slatternly women, with black shawls over their heads and shoulders and jugs in their hands, were to be seen hurrying along the pavement for milk and beer. Although Miss Maynard had taken Care not to dress herself elaborate ly for her journey to London she was aware that her appearance before the door of No. 23 was attracting some attention among the women standing at their doors and gossip ing across area railings. When the door was opened by girl in her early teens who had her sleeves rolled up and was wearing a piece of sacking as an apron. Miss Maynard entered hurriedly and closed the door after her.
 "Does Mr. Miller live here?" she asked.
 "Yes," replied the girl.
 "Is he in now?"
