Jessie shed tears of vexation, but
anger dried her eyes. She turned to
John with a wistful little smile on her
lips.

she said. Let's get as far as We can

In few minutes the Standish bob

stepped on board. The wind had

friends followed and led him back
Little was said between the two
as the boat moved swiftly along. Each
was busy with thoughts. and both
seemed under the spell of threatened
trouble. John pointed the boat for
Mnot's Light, and having passed in
side followed the rocky shore. avoid
ing the reefs and shoals, which were
to him as an open book.
Tell me story, John, or any
thing! We're both awfully stupid to-
day. Don't you think so?''
Il will tell you a secret-two

Don't tell me secrets If you wish
them kept. John" laughed Jessie I'm
a regular tell-tale!"
You will keep these secrets-at
least one of them" replied John. I'm
going away. That's the first secret"
Going away?' echoed Jessie.
Where, john"
.'Out West-to California"
Going to leave Harvard? Going
to California? Surely you're joking.
What does this mean, john" The
little face was serious now.
THAT is the second secret, Jessie"
There was that in his voice and in
his eyes which thrilled the girl by his
side. Jessie's soft brown eyes open
ed wide, then dropped as they met his
fervent gaze.

When the launch approached. Ar
thur Morris was seen in the bow.
There were several richly dressed
young women in the party, John Burt
saw al a glance that Morris and some
of his companions We're under the in
fiuence OF liquor. Jessie guessed as
much, and her suspicious became a
certainty when Morris stepped un-
steadily to the landing and came
toward her, a vacant smile mantling
his face
"A thousand pardons. Miss Garden"
he said, his voice husky and his body
very erect, but wayering. "A thou
sand pardons! Detention unavoidable,
assure you-un 'void'ble detention, as
sure you, Sail right, though; sail
right now. Allow me. Miss Garden -
and he stepped forward to offer his
arm. John Burt remained by Jessie's
side.
DO not dare to speak to me, sir!"
cried Jessie, shame and anger driving
the crimson to her face. Don't let

claimed, clinging to Burts stalwart
arm

a low, clear tone. glitter in his dark
gray eyes. You are in no condition,
sir, to meet Miss Garden"
The fiashilydressed throng of
guests was grouped behind Arthur
Morris. One of the young women
grasped Arthur Morris by the lapel
of the coat.
Come on, you fool!" she said with
a vindictive little laugh. Don't you
see you're not wanted?" She turned
him half round and Kingsley grabbed
him by the arm.
Come along, commodore" said that
young blood. You are in the wrong
pew, commodore! Cheer up, sad sea
dog We may be happy yeti" And with
laughter and taunts the guests of the
Noltaire led the yachts befuddled

Fer Gods sake. git outer here,
John, as soon as ye can." whispered
Sam. John hung back defantly.
Come on, John, Jessie's waitin fer

At the sound of Jessies name a
wave of agony swept over John Burt.
With a glance at the motionless form
of Morris, he turned and follow ed
Sam Rounds. No hand was raised to
stop him. The witnesses OF the trag-
edy, held in spell, had eyes for
naught but its victim.
Jessie ran forward to meet him.

John? Oh, tell me, john"

By stern effort John Burt master

what had happened. He said no word
of the shameful insults in which her
name had been banded in a public
drinking place. He explained that a
quarrel had arisen, during which Nor

had grown so dark that John could
not see her face, but there was
tremor in her voice when she asked:
"Will he die, John?"
q fear So" replied John.
1t might have been Imagination, but
he thought that Jessie shuddered and
drew away from him. They heard the
rapid beat of hoofs behind them and
she clutched his arm.
Out of the darkness a horse, madly
ridden, dashed forward, and was pull.
ed back on his launches by the side
of the carriage. A face peered in
the homely but welcome face of Sam
Rounds.
Drive on as fast as we can. John"
gasped Sam. I've thrown 'em off

Sam gave the horses a cut of the
whip which sent them dashing down
the road. A few minutes later they
reached the Bishop farmhouse. Sam
held the excited horses while John
helped Jessie to alght.
Jump on my horse and git!" said
Sam in whisper.
John drew Jessie to the shadow OF

Every big liner carries from fifteen to
twenty cats on a voyage. As a general
thing they find plenty of occupation
scampering after the mice in the hold,
but if any of them come lurking around
the pantry they are bountifully fed, The
only duty imposed upon the stewards is
to see that the cats do not get into the
sleeping cabins or the saloon.
A cat once broke up q game of poker in

POTATOES COST MORE.
Price in Kansas Advancing Visible
Supply Is Short.

The price of potatoes is going up
steadily, and indications are that they
will continue to advance. as the SUD-
ply is very limited. In speaking of the
latest advance in prices, a commission
merchant said this morning:
1.-THE advance of prices on potatoes
is due to a large shortage in the great
potato producing states. Minnesota
and Wisconsin usually furnish the
supply of potatoes at this time of
year, but the crop was short there last
season, and I have been able to get
only one car of Burbanks in two
weeks. japan has been buying all the
potatoes it could find from Washing
ton, Oregon and California, and so has
taken all the surplus from these states.
The Greeley district of Colorado is the
only place where Kansas. oklahoma
and Texas can get potatoes, and
prices there have advanced Sc cents
per bushel in the past week. Pota-
toes are selling in Topeka wholesale
at $1.20 now and will go to $3.50 and
probably more. The high price is due
simply to the scarcity of potatoes and
not to manipulation of prices. It has
como as Il surprise to commission men,
as they had not figured on the i'm
Eaense purchases by Japan"
