In the taxicab Nina did not speak
to him at once. He tried to soothe
her with words and persuade her to
forgive her lover, but she just sobbed
and laughed like a crazy LOOM Reach

past him and ran into the foyer, try

night clerk.
When Arthur paid off his taxicab
at the hotel entrance, the dawn was
already fighting the night. 1t was
bitterly cold and big wind was COM

The lobby was full of kneeling old

4 But he had time now to imagine his
future-the future that might have
been, would have been If he had gone
an eighth of an inch farther over
the ledge.
His physical future would have been
brief indeed, but he had leisure now
for agonies of torment as he took up
the inevitable sequence Of posthumous
events. He saw it all as something al
ready past beyond recall.
His crash caused terrific conSterra-
ton on the sidewalk and he Just
missed taking an utter stranger into
eternity with him. Crowds gathered
about the shattered hulk In the gaudy
pajamas. Eyes went up to the open
window. Police appeared, rushed into
the hotel. They had to break into
his room. They found his clothes tum-
bled about, his money belt empty. His
name and address were on the hotel
register. The police telephoned the
police at home They telephoned vi.
She almost died Of shock and grief and
horror-but not quite. Death would
have been too merciful. She had to

UP the story ran: Arthur Todd leav-
ing his devoted and trusting wife and
carrying with him a large sum Of
money, promptly broke all his pledges
and went at once to his old sweet
heart, Nina Spencer, recent principal

them to q black-and-tan resort. There

testified to the fact that Nina was
in q state Of drunken hysteria and
quarreled with Todd. The taxi driver
could not hear what was said but in

between the drunken couple.

clerk testified to Todd's peculiar gait

ran toward it to close it. He stubbed
his toe on that unseen footstool In
front of the steam radiator.
His impetus launched him on q per-
feet swan dive straight into space. In
mad terror he put up his hands to
what should have been firm window
SILL His fingers struck it. It swung
outl
He saw nothing before him but
stormy sky; nothing beneath him but
the public square rushing up to meet
him from the depths. His one thought
was evil Vii"
One knee struck the edge Of the
cabinet over the radiator and brought
him down on the window ledge. It
was blessedly broad, yet covered with
a coat Of slippery ice. Afraid to move
and petrified with terror, he hung over
the brink of a sheer precipice and
gazed down at swarms Of far-off LIZ
Hputians whom he would soon join In
one lance-like plunge.
Though he ninched from immediate
and hideous death he did not fall. His
lmeecaps held. him little. They were
between the inner rim Of the window
sill and the radiator. His toes were
Just back of the radiator cabinet. He
was in touch with something firm.
Cautiously he braced his insteps
against the cabinet edge, moved his
arms slowly up and to the rear till he
could lay hold Of the inner window
sill. Then he squirmed and wriggled
and slid backward slowly, slowly, till
his shoulders were In. His head was
inI His eyes were free Of that fright
full abyss.
Still inching backward like retreat
ing lizard, he stepped at last on that
nearly fatal footStool and then on the
carpet. Standing by the side of the
window he got it shut before he was
quite CONCEALED. Then he tore his
heavy overcoat off the hook in the
closet, spread it over the bed and
crawled in, hiding himself in a coil
far underneath the blankets till he
had shivered himself warm.
When his teeth had stopped chatter
ing and the ague had ceased In his
palsied sinews, he was so glad Just TO
be alive that he almost died Of the
delight And then he began to be-
frightened all over, and all over again.
When he flew through the window
there had not been time for his past
to sweep through his mind, as 1t Isl
said to do when men are drowning.

At the night club business was bad;
the food was worse; the orchestra
worst. A few old friends came to the
table and, to save them from betray-
ing her and Arthur, Nina whiskeo
Sheldon out on the dance floor. To
keep from having to dance with Nina
and let vi wiring it out Of him, Arthur
alleged a sore foot. This saved him
also from Bertha.
Finally Sheldon also denounced the
night club as a CHASTITY bore; but,
instead of going home, he insisted on
irving another This one proved as
cheerful as an undertaker's parlors
with the mourners dancing They
were all too sad to drink much, and
what they drank neither inebriated
nor cheered.
Even the closing Of the night club
deserted by all but the yawning wait
ers, did not satisfy Sheldon. He said
there was a black-and-tan joint that
kept open all night and the goings-on
there was said to be really some
thing"
He hailed his miserable prisoners to
a shabby restaurant up a flight OF
rickety stairs.
BY now Sheldon and Nina were so
tired of each other and their quarrel
that Nina told Sheldon never to speak
to her again. She refused even to let
him drive her home.

He withdrew in great dignity Nina,
Vild-eyed with grief, promptly went
into such mysteries that the dusky
dancers regarded her with envy for
her energy. The Pollards got her
downstairs to the curb where their
car was waiting. There was also a
taxicabby. Seeing him, Jim
took Arthur aside and said:

WARNS MOISTURE
THREAT TO GRAIN

With Montana's grain harvesting
season now on and with all indica-
tions pointing to increased storage of
the crop on farms, Ralph D. Mercer,
extension agronomist at Montana State
college, warns farmers of the dangers
of storing grain having high mois-
ture content.
Under present harvesting methods
with combines, wheat is seldom ripened
evenly over the entire field at harvest
time, Mercer said. The crop Is likely TO
have a high moisture content. Since
most farm storage is not equipped
for turning wheat, part Of this dis
advantage may be overcome by proper
ventilation.
Research indicates wheat can be
stored safely in tight, unventilated
bins If the moisture content is Is per-
cent or less" he said IF ventilation
Is provided, wheat with IS to 14a
percent Of moisture can be safely
stored. # moisture content Is over la
percent, wheat should not be placed in
permanent storage"
When wheat with a high moisture
content is stored, it heats and insect
damage becomes more Of q problem.

Of his wild look and unsteady manner
Between these facts and the faci
Of his next temperance as q corpse
on the sidewalk, there was only
theory But that was simple. It could
hardly have been a case Of murder
for Todd's door was locked and bolted
ON the inside. His money belt was
empty Of the thousands Of dollars he
was known to have on him.
Finding his money stolen, and fac
| ing charges Of embezzlement as well
as a divorce by his wife, he had I'M
doubleday chosen the easy way out
the window.
The only mystery left was, who stole
the money! Even the taxi driver was
suspected and given the third degree.
Sheldon Brown and Pollard both de-
MED all knowledge Of the money, but
Pollard let slip the fact that he knew
Of Todd's possession of a large sum
on his person. So Pollard was jailed
while his books were gone over and
his office and apartment searched.
His wife, hurrying back from a visit
to her mother, sued Pollard for divorce
naming the widow.
The whole crowd denied that there
had been heavy drinking, but their
accounts were contradictory.
The money would stay IN its hiding
place till doomsday-ttll the hotel was
torn down or burned up.
Sheldon, discovering that Nina had
lied to him about Arthur, would turn
against her in a rage; their quarrel

ended forever even If he were not
sent to the penitentiary for the rob
bery-poSsibly the murder of Arthur
from motives of jealousy, theft, or
both.
In his waking nightmare Of the flu
ture Arthur was sorry for everybody
connected with his alleged suicide; but
his grief for them was swallowed up
in his overwhelming sorrow for his
beloved wife. She would regard his
very memory with loathing. His chill
dren would be disgraced. Paying back
the lost money would wreck their fl
nances, impoverish them.
He went through years Of inferno
in few shuddering moments. forget
ting all the bliss Of being alive and
free Of guilt or accusation.
At last he scared himself back to
reality. To make sure that he was
alive, he ran TO the clothes closet and
found the money, all Of it, though 1t
was harder to get out than to slip In.
While he fished for the last of 1t |
his telephone rang. It was Sheldon
Brown. He apologized for giving Todd
such bad evening, but sheepishly
confessed that he and Nina had made
up. Mr.. Todd must not misunderstood
