AZURE tended both to facilitate the har-
vesting of winter wheat and to prevent
the spring crop from showing any new
development OF black rust. Under such
conditions q little upturn in prices at
the outset failed to last. as did q some

Bullish estimates Of the 1928 domestic

much to do with the second upturn in

LINK JOHNSON CALLER
ON PRESIDENT COOLIDGE

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. -
Emerging from presidential of
fees in which he had been cordially
received by the chief executive,
Henry Lincoln Johnson, negro ma
final committeeman from Georgia,
declared to newspaper correspond
ents:
Indeed l am still national COM
mitteeman and that is not all. |
will always be national committee
man."
The cause of the negro's visit to
the president was not declared. 1t
is understood, however, that he I'M
reservedly committed himself to
Coolidge and it is anticipated that
he will endeavor to pledge the dele
gates from Georgia and other south
ern states to vote for the nomination
of the president. Four years ago,
Johnson supported Frank 0. Lowden
and admitted that he participated
in the Lowden slush fund to the ex-
tent of $11, 900.

There was a motor boat, sir; but

He raped out the words like a

He's brought a friend, too"
added Monica, turning slightly to
scrutinize a dapper man in immacu-
late whites who had not troubled
to remove his topee.
Suddenly a woman screamed. 1t
was at that moment Mrs. Whey
saw that Gwynne held Chard Brom-
ley covered wit ha businesslike
looking automomatio.
Don't move, Mr.. Soamesw he
said coldly. Captain Hewitt, do
you mind seeing that Miss Mayne

The Commissioner started to

him in a cellar in the Chinese quar-

eloquent sweep of his free hand.
Women looked from one to the
other with startled eyes, men
sprang from their seats and groop-
ed for their hip-pockets.
"What's all this meanp Gwynne?
demanded Hewitt.
The younger man beckoned to
his companion.
''This is the real Chard Brom-
ley"
"But-?" gasped Dawson. The
sentence was never concluded, for,
with surprising suddenness, every
light went out. At the same time
a distant, muffled explosion rent
the outer air.
There followed a scene of in
describable confusion of pande-

in a tosat his lips TOUGHER the sur
face of the fluid and that was all.
1t is possible that Mrs. Whey
was prejudiced. She had started
with vaguely conceived dislike
for Enid and it was not altogether
animosity toward her father. But,
quite apart from this, there was
something about Chard Bromley
that repealed her. He seemed to
be acting part, to be assuming
cultured accent rather than
talking naturally, and-eyeing him
furtiveiy-she noticed that he
glanced at frequent intervals at his
watch.
Enid-pale, glittering and amaz-
angly turned out, greeted Hewitt
with effected warmth.
The meal was finished. Ruring
the simultaneous pushing back of
chairs Monica found Dawson at her
side.
"It's all wrong, Mrs. Whey" he
was saying. HE can't possibly ex-
pect US to dance after this. Two
thirds of the me mare bottled al
