Bert rose to her feet and searched
everywhere with single sweep of the
eye. Not a thing was in sight which
could be of service

express train speed. "I'll be back in

1t did not take long to reach that
oatfeld, where she knew the men were
at work hauling the sheaves home to
the barn Neither did it require much
time for Mr.. Mcpherson to understand
the situation. Soon the horses were
unhitched from the wagon and driven
at a gallop through the fields to where
that treacherous bog was getting in it's
work, but long before they came in
sight Edith felt that her arms must
loose their hold More than that. she
could feel those roots slipping away
more and more from their grip upon
that sandy soil. Just before they
reached her. tired out with the long

The next night they ate supper in
the garden of Eden. Edith hadn't
shifted since her arrival. She was
simply wondering why the whole
world had not discovered the place
and asking herself the reason. The
pilgrim mother was to all appearances
the original model for the cardinal
virtues. and the father deserved to
rank by her side. So three days
passed. The trouble for which Edith
was searching did not materialize.
Flies were missing, and mosquitoes
were not in evidence. The two girls

The girls listened. Who was the
hired man who always arrived on the
evening of the 4th2 How long did he
stay and when did he go that his room
must be prepared? But the pilgrim
mother answered the unspoken ques-
lions.
NFather always has a man to help
him during harvest" she said zone
man has done the work many years
now. He comes on the evening of the
18th and stays a month during black

Even in that was no secret-nothing
upon which one could build a story,
and Edith. her brain always ready for
story material, had as yet struck moth
ing in the quiet Quaker family which
savored of romance or mystery.
The next morning bright and early
she started out alone for the black

air humid. and in her attempt to COM

and the pebbles were rattling down
into the brook. She could feel herself
sinking swiftly now, and it was a pale,
despairing face which Mcpherson saw
as he peered down over the bank.
Throwing one end of the reins to
her and telling her to fasten it Sc

strong, steady pull the horses moved

NEW 12-CENT STAMP.
Intended to Cover Cost Of Increased
Registry Fee.

A new twelve-cent postage stamp is TO
be provided by the Post ONCE Depart
mert to meet the changed conditions re-
sultng from the increase of the fee for
registering letters and parcels from 10
10 cents.
Acting Postma ster General Stewart has
requested the Secretary OF the Treasury
to authorize the preparation OF such.
The new stamp will ultimately result in
the discontinuance of the thirteen cent
stamp. The latter was calculated To cover
the cost of the e:ghtcent registry fee
and the y cents international postage
rate. The fifteen cent stamp will serve
this purpose when the registry fee is in
creased from = 10 10 cents November
l. The proposed twSlve-cent stamp will
cover the cost of tie new ten-cent regis
try fee and the two-ccut postage rate in
this country and for England and Ger
many. The twelve-cent stamp WAS dis
continued some years ago. 1t bore the
head OF Washington.
