The dog was telling Billy how he

"Yes." That was all Evelyn could
think to say, She was nervous with
excitement.
“When your husband left the ot-
fice the other day he Went to the
home or a woman named—let. me
see." He pulled a. notebook from
his pocket. and rumbled in it. The
crackling of the pages jangled on
Evelyn's nerves.
"Here is is —- Lina Schwartz." He
spelled it out. for her: “S c h -
w a. r tz Schu'artz. She lives at 19?8
Grand Avenue, apartment 43. 'She

has been living there for some
time."
He paused. Then he announced
with efgect. “I learned from the el- =
evator anan that this man—your
husband—was a. frequent visitor
there some time ago. There after-
noon: and evenings. Didn't know
whether he ever stayed all night."
Surprised beyond words, for Linn
Schwartz was a. name ‘Evelyn had
never heard. she was agonized.
“He's been going to his office
every day regular."
"\thre is he staying now — at
night?" she asked.
"W’ell. he ain't been back to the
Schwartz woman's house since that
first day. He's staying down at the
City Club now. I don't know what
he does there. for I can't wander
about in it. They won't let you do
do that. Detectives is always patter
somebody that belongs to the club."
He laid the paper he had drawn
from his pocket on the table.
“llcre's a report of his movements."
"Thank you." she said weakly.
He got up. "I suppose you Want,

"I don't know," she responded
dollhtflllly.
"\Vell. if you do. we'll have to

“I'll let you know." she replied.

are going to fight at close range. for
that means more killed and wounded
I am going so as to be close on their
heels, so the minute the signal is
given for us dogs to so bring in the
wounded I shall be on the spot."
and with a bound he was off down
the side of the hill.
"Here. hold on! I am going with
you." baaed Billy.
But Duke was too intent on reach-
ing his regiment to stop, even it he
had heard Billy, which he had not.
as the roar of battle drowned out all
other sounds:
"Gee! That dog is a fine fellow! I
am not going to lose sight of him.
And. what is more, I am going u.-
follow him into the battlefield and
show him that a seat can do some
of ihe things he can do.l shall make
myself so useful that they will make
me a. member or the Red' Cross I‘o-

plans to follow Duke were frustrat-
ed. for he spent an hour hunting {or
him. he could not find him. not
having the power to scent out things
like dogs have.
"I think i better go back to my

Among the industries. soft coal is
still apparently pretty slack, and
the central states. especially. have
f-lt the strain in a heavy shutting
down of unproftable. mines. which
it is impossible to work with pres-
ent union wage scales. Iron and
steel have been rather quiet. and un-
filled steel orders are shown to
have decreased sharply in April.
Semi—tinishcd steel has eased. but
the decline in finished steel from 1
year 3K0 is proportionately very
much less than was the decline‘ in
the crllder forms of iron,‘say 6 per
cent. in the former against 25 per
cent. in the latter. Another large

ion is relatively light. and in the
lilk trade there seems more dispo-
sition to buy at the lower levels or
.‘Ost visible. The leather trades are
quiet. and eastern shoe manufac-
turing is closely restricted. with pa-
tent leathers in chief demand. mir-
niture lines are quiet. and lumber
prices reflect recent less active buy-
ing in easier quotations. with less
active call for other mattrinls—
brick. sand. hardware and paints—
than some time ago. There still
seems to be an excess of petroleum
and its products. and prices are
'easier for crude oil and for gasoline.
