ANGEL OF
THE INN
By Temple Bailey

High above them. on the mountain,
was the matched roof OF the inn.
.'In one hour" Gregory said, rap
turously. ~ shall see her."
Morgan looked at him, enyiously.
"1f l were as young as you, and love
was waiting for me, I'd thank the
gods" FL e
They rode for while in silence,
then Morgan asked, How In the
name OF all that's wonderful did that
lady OF yours manage to follow this
way to the heIghts?"
Gregory explained eagerly. "she
was a little child In her mothers
arms. There's a mystery-Mercedes
doesn't know why they came. But
they took refuge In the inn. II was
kept then by native OF the country
and his wife. Mrs. Harding made
herself necessary to them, and when
they died she took charge-'Angel OF
the inn'-the natives call her."
"She doctors them. and they have
great faith in her." he went on, land
the food is famous-she has the art
OF making every meal feast"
"That sounds promising. You may
live on love. Gregory, but ] yearn for

elry, Morgan eyed 1t curiously. A girl
stood on the porch. shading her eyes
with her hand.
That's Mercedes" said Gregory.
Morgan saw the girl run down to
meet her love; saw the youthful grace
of her figure-and then he saw her
face! ". ta 81. ~.
He swayed In his seat. recovered
himself, and managed to acknowledge
Gregory's radiant presentation.

greeted him. shall We go into the
garden? = Mother is there"
Morgan hung back. ''If-If you
don't mind" he stammered. "l'll
brush up a bit first" and In spite OF
Gregorys protest, he left them.
Alone at last In his room on the
first floor, he faced the situation.

eddy contemplate with the traditional
mingled feelings" what appears 10
be q disposition on the part OF John
Bull TO take hand in dIsciplining
our beef barons. That the British
government should decide to exclude
all American meat packers from the
competitive bidding ON meat supplies

proceedings which the United States
government has instituted against

the British Army might have its sup.

upon the American packers.
Y Possibly the elimination OF the big
draft upon the American meat supply
that was involved in the $l5,OOO,OOO
contract with the British War Depart.
ment may not be an unmixed evil
from "a home consumers point OF
View For several years. the. 'retan
price OF meats in the United States
markets has been abnormally high
nearly double the average price of ten
years ago. The explanation OF this
rise in price has been that the supply
of meats in this country has been
gradually but surely tending toward II
shortage In respect to the demand. If
the British Army for the next fiscal
year is to get its canned beef and
salted pork from Argentina there
ought to be 1O0,OOO,OOO pounds or so
extra Of homegrown beef and pork
for home consumers.
1t comes somewhat In the nature Of
"a surprise to the American consumer
that the butchering establishments OF
the United States were able last year
10 underbid the Argentine beef and
pork growers in supplying the needs
OF the British Army. There has been
a more or less prevalent belief that
II our own markets were thrown open
to Argentine meats the retail price OF
meats In this country would be lower.
The fact that American meat handlers
have been able TO underbid Argentine
meat handlers in supplying the Brit
ish Army apparently put the meat sup
ply problem In a new aspect.
