Stock Holding Employees.

NEW YORK. September II Especially
Where the employe of a corporation
Is also stakeholder in it he may these
days find himself on shorter hours or
at a lower wage or salary scale while
the dividend on his stock is being
maintained. This apparently is what
has happened to those in the employ
of the Western Union Telegraph Co,
whose savings have been large in the
past seven months through placing en-
ployes on part time, but whose divi-
dend has been maintained at the reg
ular per cent rate In the case of
employees of the United States Steel
Corporation, who are numerically large
holders of Steel common stock, sal
aries have been cut along with reduc-
ton In their dividend checks. 1t is a
trying period for arrangements In de-
termlning which policy means the
least loss to their constituency.

Banker Points to Status of
Crops and Construction

Special Dispatch to The Star.
MONTREAL, September 1.-THE
most favorable factors IN the Western
crop situation are the satisfactory
state of grains in the Northern area
and the indications to date that the
general quality of Western wheat will
be high" states S. H. Logan, general
manager of the Canadian Bank of
Commerce. The crops of Eastern
Canada are almost uniformly good"
Moderate seasonal expansion in
general business is now in sight" con-
tinues Mr.. Logan, although indus
trial operations were on a very low
level during August. This expansion is
consequent upon the continuation of
fair volume of construction work
contracted for during the past few
months and the official plans for pro-
jects designed to relieve unemploy-
ment; upon harvesting and movement
of the new crops, and upon the usual
Autumn increase in the consumption
Of certain products such as newSprint."
Weather Aids Farmers.
The weather during August was
generally favorable to farmers. In On
tario field work proceeded more rapidly
grain drops, oats and barley, were not
as large as were first expected. and
there were complaints OF poor pastures
in certain districts, an excellent yield
OF winter wheat was harvested; such
later crops as corn, roots, tobacco and
tree fruits continued in excellent con-
dition. In Quebec and the Maritime
Provinces an average quantity of hay
was cut and there is the prospect of
large yields of other crops.
British Columbia was favored with
good weather for the harvesting of
heavy yields of hay ard grains, but
the absence of rain left the large COM
mercial fruit districts dependent upon
irrigation systems. the supply OF water
for which was not large. although no
marked damage is reported.
Harvest Well Started.
"Grain-cuttirg commenced in the
Prairie Provinces early in August and
threshing about mid-August. Good
progress has since been made in harvest
operations. Judging by protein tests Of
early wheat there is the promise of a
high quality crop, although The gen.
eral grade will not be known until most
of the crop undergoes inspection. The
most important factor in this area
during August is that late grains, in
Guiding wheat in the Northern dis
tricts, have so far progressed safely
toward maturity; another week or SO
Of good weather Is required in these
districts, which this year are counted
upon to furnish more than one-t third
OF the Western grain production"

larger than these for the correspond

A somewhat similar situation is no.

fact that dealers shelves are empty
and the hand-to- mouth buying policy
had to be abandoned.

All was still in the Dutch garden,
where a figure sat motionleSS IN the
seat beside the stone steps. Above 1t,
the satyr stretched its arms In evil
invitation.
The minutes passed without outward
sound or movement. No light was Wis
ible from the music room, for that door
was shut and the curtain drawn across
it. The music continued. The song,
ITO the Desert" was begun.
Then silently. but quickly. a shadow
moved from the shade Of the house to
the hedge-hidden pathway leading to
the Dutch garden. The form crept
nearer to the broad stone Steps and
crawled up to the level of the wall on
which the satyr stood. Then 1t leapt
up. gloved hands gave the stone image
swift, unhesitating thrust. and 1t fell,
crashing on to the figure beneath.
No sound followed, but the swapping
Of woodwork and the breaking of the
stone. The shadow stopped again and
made to run. Then there was a sound!

inal.
The startled villain was thrown to
the ground. and it was but a matter
Of moments for cords to secure his
trembling limbs.
You hold him now, Don. I will
be back SOON"
With these words Jimmie sprang
away-started to run to the house. AS
he did SO the clock in the hall struck
ten and the strong voice in the music
room sang the opening lines of Sep
TENDER Roses"
Jimmie crossed the lawn and hast
ened to the drive in front There,
punctual to the second, he met Super
intendent Richmond.
This way!" he led Richmond
through the open hall door and headed
toward the music rom.
Roses of memory, roses of Septem-
ber'-came the words clearly enough.
Silently he turned the handle, but the
door was locked. Quickly they ran
back, through the garden to the cur
tanned doorway Of the same room.
without moments hesitation Jimmie
threw his weight against the door. It
yielded, and he stumbled through the
parting curtains, the bewildered Rich
mond following.
At first the room appeared to be
empty. Then they saw Evelyn stand
ing alone, trembling half hidden by
the curtains they had so rudely thrust
aside.

perts to fight 1t out together"
Evelyn and her lover went into the
next room. The game proceeded to the
sounds Of music. Duckworth was sing

powerful voice rang through the house,
but it did not distract the players,
though one of them would wander
from the table when his partner played
his hand.
