The building contains 390 rooms, prac tically all of which ar occupied by grain men and grain firms and lines of busi ness that go along with the grain trade.

Later came huge baskets and bouquets of roses, sent by the United States National, the First National and the Stat banks.

He pointed to the fact that th twelfth annlverssry of the exchange would ooour February 1, and that Us business had grown from nothing until now, whn th transac tions run up into millions of dollars an nually. He asserted that th tlm Is not fsr distant when Omaha will be th largest grain market In th United States, backing his statement by th fig ures upon the board, showing that Omaha wheat receipts for th day were exceeded by but one of the markets, that of Minneapolis. Wattles Praises ttokaey. Mr. Wattles spoke of A. B. Stlukney, former president of the Great Western road, a man whom h said was In a great measure responsible for th Incep tion and early success of th exchange and at th same tlm largely instrumental In making Omaha a grain market. He re ferred to th fact that aged and broken In health, Mr. Sttckney Is now an Invalid, living in 8t. Paul, and that his death Is only a matter of a short time.

It s written by Helen Keller, the famous blind girl, who stopped at the Henshaw with her party while in Omaha Satur day and t-unday. In peculiar, but very easily-read penciled letters. Miss Keller expressed her thanks to the hotel man for M efforts for her comfort during her stay. CHAPTER III. "Mr Tlm Will Cosn!" "Keep your eye on this man Langdon I He was either in th room or at the door when David Pollock was murdered!" The words of .tha witness, were. Ilk a stone flung Into a pool of subtle infer ence that sent ever-widening ripple of possibilities to lap th very shores . of suspicion Itself. Bvery eye was on Langdon now. but except for a tighten ing of th muscles about his jaw he gave no sign of perturbation or anger and was seemingly Indifferent to the sweep ing war of oonjectur which was Ilk a sentient thing, so strongly was its In fluence felt, though not a roan or woman moved. Th actor himself was uneasy . now, however, and cast apologetic glances at both Mary and Langdon. "Tou say you overheard only a part of what was said before the police came. Will you tell us where you stood and why you only heard a part?" "Yea. sir. Th door opens out as Is always the case In hotel rooms and when I started to open It I was behind it and therefor not visible from the room. But I oould hear what was ssld when Mr. Langdon and Detective Far ley came out from the Inner room of. the suit where they had gone to look for Mlas Page." "And when th police came, did yon remain In tha room or did you Join In th search for Miss Pager "I Joined In th search and went with th police down the fire-escape and through the back street "What had become of Miss Pager- "I don't know." ' "Do you mean that the police did not find where she had gone?" "Yes." "What did you dor- "I returned to the hotel, got my hat and coat and went-home." "That Is all," said th prosecutor. But the Judge leaned forward and voiced the question that everybody In the court room wss mutely saklng. "Do you mean to say that a young lady In an evening gown and with no cloak walked through that street back of the hotel and that no one saw her! That you and the police got no elue In your search T" "Yes. your honor. Mary Psge had dis appeared absolutely, and no one knows where she went" Langdon smiled, and the judge sat back H , K 1 1 1 1 . l . i a . I " nine Kiifjimuun mi wa. not complimentary to the police; but when ithe name of the next witness rang through the room he leaned forward again and spoke with some Irritation to the ! prosecutor. "Is It your Intention, sir, to develop through the testimony of this witness the J whereabouts of Miss Psgs after the mur der? It seems to me that that is the testi mony that should be brought forward BOW." "Your honor, the movements of Miss Psge between the time she was left un conscious In the room at the Republic I until the following morning will have to be told by Miss Page herself. They are 1 not known to me and I have no witnesses ' to testify to her whereabouts or actions, i I have. In fact been unable to get any t on who actually saw th prisoner during her flight. Th truth roust come out, of ' course, and I have In th meantime called th sister of David Pollock to develop an . important line In the case for the state." Again Langdon smiled and the judge I sat back with a little shrug, as, amid a I murmurous wave of comment and curios ity, th nam of th new witness was re pasted : "Ruth Pollock r Th . sister ot the dead man, who throughout th earlier testimony had sat unnoticed among the throng, was a tragic figure In her trailing black garments as she went to the stand. "Mlas Pollock, you hav known the prisoner, Mary Page, for some years, have you not?" "Yes, were at school together snd rtremalnod intimate friends afterwards." Was your brother also a friend ot hersr lie was." "Was ther ever any closer relation ship than that of mere friendship be tween your brother and Mary PageT" Yes. They were angsged to be mar ried." Even th Judge sat forward In his chair at the words, so simply uttered and yet so sharply changing th aspect of things. The prosecutor next ques tion cam quickly. "Was your brother happy in his n- gagement?" 'I don't know how to answer that question. He was happy because he wanted to marry Mtary, but he knew she didn't love him." I "If Miss Page did not lov your brother, why was she willing to be his wifer- Th girl flushed and answered less readily: . Well, you see ther wer reasons and she had promised." 'Will you pleas tell us those rea sons?" A little gasping sob wrenched from a woman's overburdentd heart broke th stillness at that question, and Mrs. Page suddenly drooped forward, hiding her face in her hands. With her own eyes tear-dlmmed Mary stretched out her hands yearningly. half whispering "Mother! Motherl" and Langdon was at her aid in a mo ment She waved htm back, and, draw ing her veil across her distorted face, smothered the sobs hat shook her thin shoulders Ilk a storm, as th prose cutor repeated his question. "It all happened several years ago ifiv mayb six. Mary and I wer very i lood friends at that time, and X was at her home a great deal. So I knew that that they were greatly in need of jmoney." ( "Was It a pressing need, or do you .mean simply thst they wer poorf" j "Both " she said, hesitatingly. "They were poor, but at the time I speak of I overheard Mr. Page say that ther would be ruin for all of them, and that they'd be turned out on the streets un less he 'got the money' before morning. Mary overheard him, too. and when he went out shs and I sat trying to think of some way by whloh we oould raise money. It was while we wer still talk ing that Mr. Psge cam back. He h had been drinking, and he was waving a check around his head and cried. i'v don a good turn for a friend and I been well paid for it Th Lord helps those who help themselves.' H seemed terribly excited, and went out again al most Immediately saying that he wanted to cash th check befor th banks closed." I "Did Mr. Psg bb- - Ho th friend was that had given hlra th eheckr- "No; but w learned later." "Whose check was Itr "My brother's." "Was he interested In Miss Pass st that time?" "Yes. He had always been, I think, but shs was not at all In lov with him.
