STATE'S POTASH YIELD IN 1918 IS 25,000 TONS Boom Days Over, Says Arthur Thomas After Inspecting ' Fields; Now Stable Business., Nebraska's production of potash in, 1918 will be 100,000 tons of pot aslv salt, or 25,000 tots of pure potash, worth $11,250,000, according to an estimate by Arthur Thomas, manager of the bureau of publicity, after a tour of inspection of ythe potasb field. Nebraska will furnish about 50 per cent of the potash produced in the United States this year. Nebraska 'potash is -being sold at f 12.50 per ton of potash salts, or $450. per ton pure potash. About one-naif of the 1918 output is still in storage. . The fertilizer companies stopped buying Nebraska potash when, the armistice was signed, hoping to get the cheaper potash from Germany The recent action of the war board in prohibiting importation from Germany until after the treaty of peace is signed, will make it nec essary for the fertilizer companies to buy up the Nebraska product in order to make the fertilizer which will have to be ready for, delivery to the cotton growers in March and April. 1919. "The boom days of potashy are over," says Mr. Thomas. "The in dustry will be placed on a stable money making basis or it will cease. American business men have had harder problems to solve and have reen successful." . 1 Snow, Rain and Sleet Cover Western Nebraska Winter has taken a grip on west ern Nebraska and the country through to the mountains is the re port that comes to the railroads.

CHAPTER XXVIII. Blackburn's Queer Story Blackburn's voice resumed its throaty monotone. As he spoke '. ; glanced about shyly, suspecting, per haps, the watchfulness of the fancies that had intimidated him. I i realized i nan to get out it i they would let me. So I left the bed. I went. He ceased, intimating that h had i-l , - ii.: luia cvciy uiiug. ' "I know," Robinson said, "but tell us how you got out of the, room, for when you when the murder was discovered, both doors were locked on the inside, and you know bow im possible, the windows are. "i'tell you," Katherine said hys terically, it was his body in thfi bed." Bobby knew her assurance was justified, but he motioned her to si lence. "Let him answer," Robinson said. Silas Blackburn ran his knotted fingers through his hair. He shook his head doubtfully. "That's what I don't ' understand myself. That's what's bfen worry ing me while these young onesJiave been talk ign as if I were dead and buried. I recollect telling myself I must go. fseem to remember leav ing the bed all right, but I don't seem to remember walking on the floor or going through the door. You'rd -sure the doors were locked?" x "No 'doubt about thttt," Rawlins said. "Seems to me," Blackburn went I on, "that I was in the private stair l case, but did I walk downstairs? J rirst thing I see clearly is the r.ad I through the woods, not far from the I station." ' Wnat aid you wearr Kobinson asked. "I'd had my trousers and jacket on under my dressing-gown," the old man answered, "because I knew the bed wasn't made up. That's what I wore except for the dressing-gown. I reckon I must have left that 'n the room. I wouldn't have gone back there for anything. My mind was full of those angry people. I wante dto get as far away from the Cedars as possible. I knew the last train from New York would be along about three o'clock, so I thought I'd go on into Smithtown and in the morning see this detective I'd been talking to. le wtnt to Robert' Water's house. I've known him for a long time. I guess you know who he is. He's such a book worm I figured he might be up, and he wouldn't ask a Jot of silly ques tions, being selfish like most people that live all the time with books. He came to the door, and I told him I wanted to spend the night. He of fered to shake hands. That's funny, too. I didn't ' feel like shaking hands with anybody. I recollect thaft, because I'd felt sort of queer even since going in the old room, and something told me I'd better not shake hands." Paredes looked up, wide-eyed. The cards slipped from his fragile, pointed fingers. "Do you realize, Mr. District At torney, what this man is saying?" But Robinson motiotledhim to si lence. "Let him gon on. What happened then?" "That's all," Blackburn answered, "ex.ept this long sleep X qan't make out. Old Wraters didn't get mad at my not shaking hands. He was too tied up in some book, I guess. I told him I was sleepy art J didn't want to be bothered, and he nodded t- the spare room off the main hall, and I tumbled into bed and was off almost before I knew it." Paredes sprang to kjj feet and commenced to walk abont the hall. "Tell us," he said, "when you first woke up?" "X guess it was late the next af trenoon," Silas Blackburn quav ered, fumbling with his pipe again. "But it was only for a minute." Paredes, stopped in front of Rob inson. "When he turned! You 'see!" "It was Waters knocking on the door," Blackburn went on. "I guess he wanted to know what was the matter, and he talked about some food, but I didn't want to be both ered, so I called to him through the door to go. away, and turned over and went to sleep again." "He turned over and went to sleep again!" Katherine said breath lessly, "and it was about that time that I heard the turning in the old bedroom." , "Katherine!" Graham called. "What are you talking about? What are you thinking about?" "What else is there?' 'she asked. "She's thinking about the truth," Paredes said tensely. "I've always heard of such things. So have you. You've read of them, if you read at all. India is full of it. It goes back to ancient Egypt the same person simultaneously in two places the astral body whatever you choose to call it. "It's the projection of one's self whether consciously or un consciously; perhaps the projection lot something that retains reason at' ttr an appareht death. ,You heard him. He didn't seem to walk. He doesn't remember leaving the room, wh'ch was locked on the inside. His descent of the stairs was without motion as we know it. He had gone some distance before his mind con sciously directed the movement of this active image of Silas Blackburn. while the double from which it had sprung lay apparently dead in the old room. You notice he shrank fiom shaking hands, and he slept until we hid away the shell. What disintegration and coming together again has take nplace since we bur ed that shell in the old graveyard? It his tnend had shaken hands with him would he have grasped empti ness? Did his normal self come back to him when the shell was put from our sight ,and he awakened? These are some of the questions we must answer'' "You've a fine imagination, Mr. Paredes," Robinson said dryly. His fat face, rtevcrthclyss, was be wildered, and in the eyes, surround ed by puffy flesh, smouldered a pro found uncertainty. "I wish Groom were here," Par edes was saying. "He would agree with me. He- would know more about it tharrjl." Robinson threw back his should ers, lie turned to Rawlins with his old authority. Ttte unimaginative de tective had stood throughout, releas ing no indication of his emotions; but as he raised his hand now to an unnecessary adjustment of his scarf 'were not quite ri One Midwinter Table Pleasure that increasing numbers of well fed people are enjoying is the piping hot cup of INSTANT POSTUM instead of the usual ! , coffee This cheery cup with its rich delicious flavor many, many homes A Trial Is Really "Worth While awvfrii., pin, the hngers steady. "Telephone this man Waters," Robinson directed. "Then get in communication with the office and put them on that end." Rawlins walked away. Robinson apologized to Silas Blackburn with an uneasy voice. "Got to check up what I can. Can't get anywhere with these things un less you make sure of your first facts. I daresay Waters' story will tally with yours." Blackburn nodded. Graham cleared his throat. "Now perhaps we may ask that ver yimportant question. The day Mrfl Blacburn called at your office in Smithtown he told Howells he was afraid of being murdered. Ac cording to Howells, he said: 'My heart's all right. It won't stop yet awhile unless it's made to. So if I'm found cold some fine morning you can be sure I was put out of the way." "I know," Robinson said. "And that night," Graham contin ued, "when he went to the old room, he was terrified of something which he wouldn't define for Miss Perrine." "He warned me not V mention he'd gone there," Katherine- put in. "He told me he was afraid afraid to sleep in his own room any long er. Robinson turned. "What about that, Mr. Black burn?" For a moment Bobby's curiosity overcame the confusion aroused by i his grandfather's apparently occult return. All along they had craved i the knowledge he was about to give them, the statement on which Bob by's life had seemed ..to depend, j Blackburn, however, was willing, j turned to him something of his nor man mafiner. "No use," he m;:mbled, "going in to that." ,"A good deal of use," Robinson insisted. Blackburn shifted his" feet. He gazed at his pipe doubtfully. ' "I don't see- why. That didn't come, and seems it wasn't what I ought to have been afraid of aftw all. All along I ousht to havebeen afraid only of.the Cedars and the old room. I've been accused of being unjust. I don't want to do .n in justice, now." "Please answer," Blackburn sad impatietitly. "You must answer," Graham urged. "I don't see that it makes the slightest difference," Paredes drawled. "What has it got to do With the case as it stands tonight?" Robinson snapped at him. "You keep out of it. Don't forget there's a lot you haven't answered yet." Silas Blackburn looked straight at Bobby. Slowly he raised his hand. pointing an accusing finger at his grandson. "If you want to know, I was afraid o' that young rascal." (To Be Continued Tomorrow.)
