and he suddenly realized that that was
the one thing above an others that he
most desired.
Shamefacedly he picked up the pan
and went. back to the house to send
Sam over with the fruit. Sam regard
ed him reproachfully when he had told
his tale, but the darky went down tho
road to the next house and, after a
long delay, returned without the pan,
but he laid a shining half dollar IN
Mornington's palm.
"Dey wouldn't take EN-" he explain
ed. 81 shuah had t tax de money"
Mornington flung the money from
him with a gesture of disgust and went
In to breakfast feeling out of joint
with the whole world.
But there was worse yet to come,
for in the forenoon Terrence, former
owner of the farm. made his appear
ance with the chaperon from the
house next door. With many hem"
and "haw" Terrence confessed that
finding a chance to clinch the lease OF
the adjoining farm through the straw
berry bed he had told the women that
it was part of the land they had rent

about It, because knew that you had
more berries than you wanted. l was
going to pay for what they ate out OF
the rent" he concluded.
Mornington rose to his feet, and
Terrence backed through the door.
More than once he had witnessed the
city mans hasty temper, and he had
no desire for an exhibition.
Mornington watched him go and
then turned to Mrs. Surrey.
"I don't know what can say to you
to excuse my conduct" he began. Il

know that Terrence had claimed my

When he so wished, Monington
could be very charming, and now he
was eIerting himself to the full. Mrs.
Surrey became gracious, and the up
shot was that Morningtoh accepted an
invitation to tea, when he might make
his apology in person to Nancy Rich
mond.
So successful was he that the next
morning when he went to pick lis own
berries he fingered to help her fill her
pan. The berry season passed all too
quickly, but there were other fruits,
and soon there was well trodden
path from Mornington's porch to the
doorway Of Studio farm. He went
with the girls on field trips, and
in the pleasant summer evenings he
took his guitar and spent the even

since they had moved in they had fa-

With Mornngton it was different.
He had resented the appearance of this

many business houses displayed the

have secured anything with which to
decorate, as the supply OF bunting,

could not secure the colors, were
bound to show their patriotism and so
took the Stars and Stripes and thus
made very nice showing.
Among the firms which made such
nice showings were the following /.

were artists who were spending the
summer in the country to sketch, and
their daily faring forth with easels
and canvases bore out the statement.
Mornington hated artists in general
and women artists in particular. He
had bought the Terrence farm that he
might have quiet, and how could a
man have quiet when six chattering
women occupied the adjoining farm
house not 300 feet away?
The strawberry beds had been the
last irritation. The previous year he
had berries In profusion. This season
there were few to be found. The doz-
en- or so in the saucer were all Sam
had been able to gather in n day. He
was certain that his neighbors raided
his garden, and, without announcing
his Intention to Sam, he rose early the
next morning.
The sun had barely risen when he
took his place behind the tool house,
whence he could command Il view Of
the garden. Presently a slender, girl

 Mir. Armbrecht was asked if he had any statement in answer to several men indicted who said they have no stock in the lottery MT. Armbrecht stated this Is true, as there is no lot tery now, but that the government can produce evidence to show that the ones indicted owned stock in the lot tery within the last three years.

 Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire. In his fascinat- ing novels, "The River" ''Children of the Mist" etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill. Bideford. North Devon. states:
 For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that 1t was producing in digestion and heartburn. and was mak- ing me restless at night. These symp- toms were followed by brain flag and a sluggish mental condition.
 When I realized this. I made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, l concluded to try it. I had 1t carefully made, ac- cordinE to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week. that no longer suffered from either indigestion, heartburn, or brain flag and that could drink # at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep.
 since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee. growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before. a. result due 10 Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied
