RAINS WILL PREVENT (
COTTON DETERIORATION:
Sunday's rain and cool wav e w hile J
it did not arrive in lime lo save the
state's cotton crop will prevent further
deterioration for at lcat a week in
the opinion of F.lmer K. Hrown. sec-
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
lie visited bis cotton farm near Shaw-
nee yesterday.
"I could see the change in cotton from
the car window." be said. "When I
went over il looked wilted and burned;
on mv w iv back it had perked up con-
siderably" Mr. Hrown believes cotton has a
good chance to make a fair crop be-
tween now and November 2. the date
on which the earliest killing frost ever
recorded in the state occurred. Forty
days are sufficient be thinks to mature
a boll of lotion from the blossom.

Al.I.INFORD rubbed the end of bis
penholdej against (be bald patch
at the bark of bis head and played
a heel-and-toe tattoo with hn boot on
the floor. For the second time he
compared the paragraph in "Printed
Information with the written docu
ment in his hand.
'It's a nightmare" he declared
aloud. "I shall wake tip presently.
Ymi can't tell me that on the same day
two people are going to lose two dis-
tinct diamond necklares each with the
tne number of stones set in the same
way ol exactly the same description
and with the same value It's ridicu-
lous; it's beyond reason." And he
reached for the telephone
Por ten minutes he held an animated
onversation with the chief of the crim
inal investigation department. At last
he replaced the receiver thoughtfully.
folded the documents and put them in
the breast pocket of his morning coat.
Two minutes he spent with a velvet
pad polishing his silk hat. which he
filially adjusted on his head at the
fashionable angle picked up a pair of
lavender-colored gloves and with a
glance at himself in the glass went out
Into the sunlit morning
As a divisional detective inspector
in charge of an important district of
the West end he alwavs made it a
point to dress well. In the department
he was known as Hrau Allmford
His carefully-kept gray mustache his
square shoulders and well tailored
clothes on his tall figure Rave him
the appearance of a retired military
offirer.
His way led him to the Dm bar
hotel and the manager of that huge
caravansery greeted him with a hand-
shake of relief. "Come to my private
office" he invited. "Have you been
able to make an v thing of it yet? I
needn't tell you that the hotel will he
Rrateful if it ran he cleared up with-
out any unnecessary publicity though
of course we're not strictly responsi-
ble as Mr. Yerndale kept the diamonds
in his own rooms."
He was a rotund little man His
bright little inquiring eyes were fixed
with dome anxiety on the detective. A
robbery at a hotel is apt to have serious
rexnlts on its patronage.
"You don't expert tne to touch a
button and produce the thief and the
gems do von?" inquired Allinford ir-
riuM.v. "lt' not an hour ago since I
was her and first heard of the rob-
bery." "No. no; of course not" said the
manager soothingly "I'm quite mire
you'll do your best."
The ruffled Allinford sat down "l et
me tell you my trouble Mr. I anion."
he said. "Perhaps you can help Here's
Mr. Krx Yerndale a customer of vour
hotel "
"Shall we sav a rlient'" interrupted
the little manager with dignity.
"Yery well a client if you prefer
that Ritween 6 o'clock last evening
and 9 o'clock this morning Mr. Yern-
dale lost from his room a diamond
necklace valued at five thousand
pounds sterling. Now" he took the
"Informations" from his pocket and
tapped it with a white forefinger
"this morning it was repotted to head
quarters that a burglary was com-
mitted at Sir Rupert Helton's town
house in Mount street and tliat the
thirvesj got away with l.ady Helton's
jewel ( case .which contained among
other things a diamond necklace worth
5.0(10 pounds sterling."
"You don't sav so!" exclaimed the
manager with astonishment. "What
an -extraordinary coincidence!"
"I believe you" said Allinford grim
ly. "What's more extiaordmarv is that
the descriptions of thr two necklaces
tally even to the weight of each indi
vidual diamond Now I in going up to
see Mr. Yerndale again hut I wanted
to ask you what you know about him
beforehand"
The manager thought lie saw a sub-
tle suggestion in the question. He made
a gesture deprecatory of suspicion
"He's undoubtedly a gentleman" be
said laying a slight sttess on the sec-
ond word. "He's stayed with us fot
three mouths or more in every vear
for more than five yeats now. lie's
traveled a great deal I believe He is
very well known among good people
and has a private income of his own
He is extremely well off. I should
judge You don't believe" with a
rerollertion nf a scheme of which he
had heard -"that he's trying to work
an insurance fraud M
"That's one of the points" said Al
linford. "The jewels were not insured
First time I've beard of any one with
a valuable heirloom which he sas it
was which was not insuted You
don't know where he gets his income'
No' Well it doesn't matter! I think
I'll go up and see him now I'll look
in laier on you "
Mr. Rex Yerndale occupied a suite
nf rooms on the -first lloor of the bv
no means inexpensive Dm bar hotel in
itself i proof of ample means if as
the manager said he had occupied
them for long terms nvrr a petiod of
ears.
