COFFEE IMPORTERS
Publish a Book About Coffee.

There has been much discussion as
to Coffee and Postum lately, so much
in fact that some of the coffee import
ers and roasters have taken to type
to promote the sale of their wares
and check if possible the rapid growth
of the use of Postum Food Coffee.
In the coffee importers book chap
ter is headed Coffee as a Medicine"
and advocates it's use as such.
Here is an admission Of the truth.

After another pause she added: HE

Then with a shuddering recollection,
she continued: He saved me, JANE;

Then he came-he carried big stick,

you understand"
She had risen, and with voice and
gesture tried 20 make her meaning
plain.
The other listened, her awed, I'M
canny gaze watching every movement,
every expression. Sue felt that she I'M
derstood.

help him--to tell him of the land mex.
ours, so he would be rich. He de-
serves it, but-my promise to dad, my
sworn promise to let nobody know
nobody" She finished with a mourn
full shake of the head, and resumed
her seat.
On James face was d mixture of
cunning and delight. Her eyes, usually
wide open in vacant stare, were con-
tracted as with a secret design in
which the doltish spirit found great
glee. She mumbled few words to
which Sue paid no heed. Her mind
and heart were intent upon other
things, and she sat in dreamy silence
until, tired out, she dropped asleep.
And the elfn girl kept watch beside
her until long into the night, peering
deep into the gloom of the woods.
Perhaps there she saw the little men
in green at midnight revel with the
fairies; perhaps she heard their music
the waters run, as they danced by the
light of the FREELY lanterns.

A warm afternoon was drawing 10
a close Clouds banked the western
sky, dark as with the smoke of bat
tie, while from their crimson lining
bristled spears of gold.
On the river a skiff shot between
rufies of foam. Two men sat in the
boat; one dark as the water he cleft
with feathered oar, the others pale
profile sharply outlined against the
bluffs beyond. Over one shoulder
was flung cape which the wearer
adjusted from time to time as though
its weight were a burden. But his
manner was alert, eager, and he
scanned the shore with earnest eyes
$50 this is the place, OwatoSa," he
said. and scarcely waited for the keel
to scrape the sand before his foot
touched shore.
When Winslow and his guide came
in sight of the cabin. it appeared de-
serted; only a thin curl of smoke
beckoned invitingly, and the weather
vane bobbed a welcome.
At last a familiar figure came from
back of the cabin. America" and
Winslow darted forward v,ithout hest
tation The old woman's eyes in the
uncertain light glittered like those of
a cat; then. recognizing him, she
smiled, and there was unctuous de-
light in her hearty: "You-Mars Wins
low? Fo' Gawd's sake,"
He shook her hand, and the long,
damp fingers responded with the I'M
certain hold of one not accustomed to
the action.
Il 'spicioned | heern the gravel
scrunch; my years is sharp yit. Use
tur'ble glad to see yo', Mars Wins:ow.
/ kin O. feared yo' might O. disremem-
bered us all by dis time"
She had gone forward to meet them,
and as they reached the house: Les
be right STILL she cautioned; cause
missy done fell to sleep. Sposin we
set out hyar awhile" and she brought
chairs under the tiny framework over
the door, from which a honeysuckle
vine flung ample shade.

Mars Creighton, an de young man
tuk'n went to town to do some tradin'.
Missy Lavvy jes' toted off to get some
fresh ar She'll be back immejit"
Thus the old negress rambled on
including even 0watoga in this gra-
cious reception.
Winslow spoke little. fearing to
break the spell which held him in en-
chantment all the more alIuring, that
he knew it could not last. Silently he
drank in the delicious languor of a
young midsummer night. breeze
blew from the river, heavy with the
perfume of blGAoming locust sees,
where birds scolded and chaffed in
wide-awake preparation for slumber.
Clear, close, comforting hung the
sky, where the bold stars came early
out, though light yet glowed in the
wake of the sun. 1t soothed Winslow
to think that this was her home-this
sweetness of summer, of bird and tree
and blossom. It was all hers, and she
the fairy princess Of this enchanted
wood.
And so, indeed. she seemed. when
from the copse beyond she came, her
arms filed with a pungent weed that
gave forth spicy aromatic odor. OF
