uated sizes, They came out of the
oven brown and flaky. as the little
children like them.
"Phlly's, Comforts, an the Lite
Un's," he told them of, as he placed
them away on a shelf How many
times he had made those little pies,
The big grand dining.room was set
in prime order-it was only opened on
Thanksgiving day now. The chairs
were rubbed to new polish, and the
beautiful shining floor as we'll All
the hangings were shaken and the pc
lures busted. Bigss tried to whistle
as he worked Mr.. Philup's library
was next door to the dining-room and
Mr.. Philip could hear everything. He
heard Bggs plaintive whistle. and q
faint shade Of appreciation lightened
the gloom of his bitter face for a mo
ment.
THAT whistle comes hard-the poor
| beggar,' he murmured.
On the afternoon preceding Thanks
giving Philip Lattimer put by his books
and went out among the holidaying
crowds on the streets. They jostled
his solemn face, curiously. Their
faces were not solemn. Now and
then he met a grandfather coming
from the station with a following or
| eager-faced, staring little country chill
dren-or a big son with his old father
and mother. Now and then he met
house-mother out for the last few
accessories for her dinner tomorrow
And children-children were every
where. They hurt him most.
There are only two things to do
and then | can get out Sf It," he NUT
tered.
There were the flowers to select for
the table, and the turkey to see about
Then, thank the Lord, he could go
home-away from the mothers and the
little children. What kind Of prepar
alton were they for tomorrow's or
deal?
The flowers were soon chosen and
ordered sent up. Then Philip Lat.
mer turned YEARLY toward the meat
markets--the very centers and pivots
of all the CHEEKY hustle and confusion.
A little group of shabby children had
halted in front of the one he selected.
Their shrill, high voices assailed his
ear mistakenly, as he paused minute
outside.
Now, you choose, Patsy. Which

Minerva was evidently the command.

little forces in ahipshape order, In a
straight row facing the line Of dangI-

were thrown back to command

Pm so turrible afraid he's goin to
keep Thanksgivin' ag'in," Biggs, IN
the privacy of his kitchen, communed
aloud as usual. His serious, long
countenance was heightened and SOL
emnized yet more.
1T looks like it. Things are a.
p'intin.' What's he say to me this
very mornin ever was-says he to me,
'Biggs, sect there's plenty o raisins on
hand an all the seasonin' s-what'd he
say that to me for? Don't that mean
Thanksgivin' fxin's? Answer that, if
you can, Bolero Biggs!"
Bolero Biggs merely groaned. 1t
was unanswerable Mr.. Philip was
goin' to celebrate again this year. The
raisins settled it, an the seasonin's.
"This1l make the third one. | did
hope he was gettin' over it. You
needn't tell me Mr. Philip amt the
gettin' over kind, Bolero Biggs-I
reckon I know that as well as you do!
But there's such a thing as the soft
euin' O. time. He's had most three
years to come round in"
For a time there was a cessation or
the low, monotonous voice, and only
tie imperative tick of the kitchen clock
and occasional sharp little explosions
under the stove lids broke the silence.
Then a bell rang with an impatient
twang.
There he goes gain,-third time
this evenin'. More raisins an spices!"
Biggs hurried through the spacious,
lighted halls to his masters library.
On the way his rough unhandsome
face softened pleasantly. 1t always
softened on te way to that lonely
room.
"Sit down, Biggs. What are you
standing up for when there's chair
at your heels?"
Philip Lattimer spoke sharply, with
short, nervous jerks In his voice. His
refined, pale face was set in unbroken
gloom.
well, Mr., Philup?"
Biggs had been sitting on the edge OF
a chair five minutes. waiting, before
he spoke. Philip Lattimer woke out Of
a reyery at the sound of his voice.
POUNDS, man, you here? How long
in the name of common sense, have
YOU been fitting on that chair?"
"sence you rung for me, Mr.. Philip
no longer nor no shorter" Biggs
said, cheerfully. He was used to this.
ooh, did l ring? Yes, yes, 1t was
about the turkey. Now l remember"
The cheer faded out Of poor Biggs'
face and left II lusterless.

was last year-everything. Now,
CO.
And Biggs, on the way back to the
kitchen. groaned intermttently, and as
one without hope.
There were two days left before
Thanksgiving day Biggs spent them
In the kitchen. among vegetables and
spicy aromas. Rapidly the shelves OF
his neat little pantry filed up from end
to end. But there was no pleasant ell
alton on his face. there was no spice OF
anticipation among his other spices.
Once Philip I>attimer visited the
kitchen during those two days-only
cnce Then II was to say, tersely:
"Oh, lordy. Bolero Biggs, he ain

breath, when his master was gone. 4

Potatoes, Onions and Vegetables.

The best offerings Of table Potatoes were in
good request at steady prices, while grade
stock was neglected and large lines were being
pressed for sale at easy rates. Receipts were
liberal and included ASA sacks from Oregon.
A car OF Sweets came in, the first for
days. and cleaned up quickly at former rates.
Onions were weak, with large quantities of
poor stock offering below the minimum quota
tion. Neyadans are about cleaned up and the
quotations are withdrawn.

vegetable market Receipts were nearly 1900
boxes, and. despite a good demand for local
consumption and. fair inquiry for shipment.

and there was heavy surplus unsold at the

In a review OF the Orange situation pub
lished in recent issue Of the California Fruit
Grower. It is pointed out that the condition Of
the market during the greater part OF the cur
rent season has been the worst ever known in
the history OF the industry due largely TO com
in the Eastern markets. the unfavorable
weather in the southern part Of this state
which prevented the fruit from ripenng in
time for the holiday trade and the free zing
the crop commenced. Other unfavorable fac
tors, according to the same article were the
rivalry over the auction sales between the
Citrus Union and the independent receivers
reasonably slow time made by cars from the
growing districts to the Eastern markets
which resulted in heavy deliveries OF more or
less decayed fruit, and a consequent loss to
shippers.
