 In praising the Elks for their good works and their splendid achievements it is not my purpose to detract an iota from the stand ing of any of the other fraternal bodies. Any organization founded upon benevolent principles and heart characteristics is entitled to the respect of all right thinking people. That is the attitude of Elk dom.
 The Elks organization is distinct ly American. It was born on Am erican soil, and it refuses to make it's home anywhere except on Am erican soil. It is a patriotic organ 4zation. None but Americans are el- igible to membership, and linking the destiny of the order with the destiny of the nation, it has made the American flag it's emblem. The flag is so prominent in the teach ings and ceremonies of the order that a lodge cannot be organized anywhere except on American soil. But the order has promptly follow ed the flag across the sea and over the ocean.

Bennington put his glass on the
table and went out. He came back
in two or three minutes. There were
two large negroes at his heels. They
were grinning family. Bennington
came through the door and stepped
aside. He did not look at Hawley.
The lieutenant jumped behind the
table and his automatic was reassur-
ing his hand as he waited for the
next move.
Bennington said: cite him up, boys"
"The hell you will" Hawley cried.
"I'll drop the first man who takes a
step toward me-"
No one of the three men moved.

asked:

NoNE hlAD MChr"sy G E4AHsESs


They did not speak again during the
walk down to the docks. They reached
Pier Z and Bennington led the way
to a dirty gray schooner which was
moored at the end of the dock. Her
deck was in darkness save for single
small lantern which hung under the
awnings in front of her after deck
house. There was enough Night,
however, for Hawley to see that her
mooring lines had been signed up, &
he heard an ancient engine turning
over slowly down below. The schoon-
er was ready to ease off at any min
ute.
Bennington stepped over the rail
and handed his suitcase to big black
man who stood by the wheel. A few
shadowy forms moved about the deck.
All of them were natives.
Hawley was suddenly apprehensive
and wary. He didn't like the look
Of this at all. He didn't like the look
of the schooner, of the dark forms
moving about her decks. He knew
as we'll as he knew his name that
again he was sticking his head into
danger, and he suspected that he'd
have plenty of difficulty in pulling
it out.
Bennington was speaking in an I'M
dertone to the man at the wheel. AS
Hawley helped Judith over the rail,
he felt her fingers suddenly grip his
arm. Her face was close to his and
he heard tense whisper.
"Phil! Run! Get away as fast
as you cant"
Her words, the terror in her voice,
turned him cold. He did not move
for an instant. Then he bent down
and said little more loudly than nee
essary:
"Wait, Judith. Your dress is caught
on the rail. You'll tear it." He whis
pered: "How about you?" That was
what his lips said. In his thoughts
the question was: "HSW about Geor-
gette?"
He Strengthened up and heard her
whisper, 81 can't run like a man! I
couldn't get away. I've got to go.
You, Phil, run while you can! Pleased"
"No," he whispered. "I'm seeing
you through"
Bennington had finished his con-
versation with the black man at the
wheel. The latter barked an order
and bare feet padded cross the deck.
Bow and stern lines were cast off.
The Wanderer got under way.
/ Hawley gave the docks and the
lights of the city a rueful glance.
There was no turning back now. No
chance to run. Nothing now but to
see it through. It was pleasant to
feel the hard bulk of the automatic
in his pocket.
Bennington had turned to the deck
house aft. He opened a door and
light fell on the deck from small
stateroom.
"Yours, Judith" he said kindly.
1--WE won't make Chagres for several
hours. You'd better lie down and rest
You must be tired"
II am, Ben," Judith said. There
was breathless note in her voice.
She didn't sound tired at all.
Bennington sighed. cit has been
hard night, hasn't it, girl? Thank
heaven, it will soon be over"
Judith entered the stateroom. Per-
haps he only imagined it, but it
seemed to Hawley that she went re-
luctantly. Bennington closed the door.
He moved along the deck to another
door and opened it revealing a some
what larger cabin than the one Judith
occupied. He walked like man who
has had many cares upon his shout
ders and is able at last to throw them

New Record Looms
In Wheat Imports
FOrty-TwO Million Bushels To
Be Bought For Local
Consumption

The United States will make anoth-
er new record this year-it will i'm.
port more foreign wheat than ever
in the history of the nation.
The best estimates now available
are that it will be necessary to buy
42,000,000 bushels of wheat abroad to
supply Americas domestic demand.
For the last two years, the United
States, formerly one of the largest
wheat exporting nations, has been
buying abroad more than it sold
abroad. No exact figures are avail
able as to what portion of the in
crease imports is attributable to crop
curtailment or drought. But one
group Of Department of Agriculture
experts, some of whom used to work
for the invalidated AAA, have made
a preliminary estimate.
This group found that in 1884 the
total American wheat crop was down
350,000,000 bushels-50,000,0OO be-
cause of crop reduction and 100000
600 because of drought.
Under normal circumstances, the
United States would have been on an
export basis in 1885, but because of
the 350,OO0,00O bushel slump in pro-
duction the year before it was forced
to import 27,000,0OO bushels. Even
the drought was not enough to force
the imports. Had it not been for crop
curtailment, there would have been
23,000,000 bushels available for ex-
port.
In every month this year, wheat
purchases abroad have been running
far ahead of those last year. Imports
from Canada alone, from July
through September II, were 11,130,-
600 bushels this year against only
4,293,000 last year.
