the original third Carson brother
of hundreds of years ago and the
Ownership OF this plantation, was
weakly allowed to assume kinship
from the place and name, and
never thought of sitting down
with Theodore and tracing the
thing out. Her flight, her aston
ishment at finding her rescuer,
the supposed smuggler, as the
head of her family. her guardian
and protector, his disturbing in
fluence over her mental faculties,
their uninterrupted series of ex-
cursions by field and flood, the
feeling of uncertainty-not to say
apprehension-which their rela-
tions had begun to produce in her,
all these made her glad of a day
or so to herself. She wanted the
current cut off so that she might
become demagnetized.
OF course, she said, it was alb
surd of him to run away just after
he had held her a little tighter
than was necessary in picking her
up-that was crude, and made the
situation worse. She wondered
just what the relationship was,
anyhow. Chloe said that Cab
senses were Cahsonses, and she
never bothered about different
kinds. He couldn't be a real
uncle, Virginia felt sure of that.
He might be son of General
Carson by a second wife. He was
the head of the family, anyhow;
she must be satisfied with that.
If he would only quit looking
Sapphic odes and prowling about
of nights-and oh. heavens! If he
would only come back and make
her happy again!
OF his invention, save that it
was in the mysterious shed, chosen
because of it's remoteness and its
unrestricted beach, she really
knew nothing. She began to
wonder, now, whether he was a
worlds genius, or only the crude
product of a country college, with
nothing to command second
glance except his sinewy erect
mes, the pathetic yearning in his
eyes. and the wonderful softness
in his voice. She was enacting
vaudeville skits, too. oh, the
dramatic uplift was active, down
at Carson's Landing!
The devil was there, as usual,
and helped the thing along. Vir-
ginia stood on a stool to reach the

MEAT STRIKE
! IS RAISING
PRICES

(By United Press Leased .Wire.)
NEW york, Mar. 1O.-An in
vestigation by the United Press
today revealed that the meat
strike" has gone the route of many
noble crusades, while the object
of its attack, the meat trust, is
still doing business at the old
stand.
The prices of all meat products
today are higher than before the
meat strike" was declared.
Meanwhile the meat trust is
busy making the crusaders pay
the freight of their crusade"
Soon after the strike began the
prices of meat products were
lowered slightly in some cities,
for a few days. Then started /
steady rise in the retail prices,
until now. beef, lamb, mutton and
poultry are selling from three to
nine cents higher per pound than
last December. Pork and pork
products have almost doubled in
price.
From Maine to Florida, from
New York to the Pacific coast,
the tendency has been toward
higher prices.
