WEEKLY SHORT STORY
NOT ON FHR PASSENGER LIST

Mrs. Rugter de Peyster was sitting
In her deck chair looking at the pas
Sengers sauntering back and forth
on che promenade deck and a CLEAN
OF interest came into her eyes when
young Mr.. Oswald came up to her
bidding her good morning" in his
Pheasant voice. and asked permission
TO Sit down in Colonel de Feyster's
chalr until he came on deck.
Inc Jealous chances of his fellow
passengers had told Oswald that IL
was an unusual honor when Mrs. de
register couple OF days before had
asked hin 10 walk couple OF turns
around the deck with her. She really
ieIt more than passing interest in
hlm' ana she had meant what she
said when she told him il would be
pleasure to her if she could be of
any service 10 him in New York
1t was characteristic OF Mrs. de Pew
ster that, while nobody could boast
OF ever having penetrated her shell
OF reserve. she understood how TO
inspire others to tell her everything
about themselves. A lady friend had
once said OF her. Mrs. de Peyster
knows my utmost soul. but / know
absolutely no more about her than
anybody else does, but / know this
that any secret you tell her is abso-
lutely safe"
After a while Oswald said:
DO you know, Mrs. de Peyster
that ever since yesterday | have felt
that there is something / must tell
You, and last night when i saw the
ring of splendid sapphires YOU were
wearing at dinner ] felt il to be an
omen that l may open my heart to
you. May l tell you a story?"
II you are sure you won't regret
II afterwards. and il il is not too long,
you may" she replied with a smile.
After moments hesitation he be-
gan.
You have been so exceedingly kind
to me, Mrs de Peyster, that | am con-
ceited enough TO imagine you might
care TO know little more about me.
My mother married twice, and / am
the son of her second marriage My
step brother Jack was - years older
than l. and as he left home as soon
as he was twentyone TO manage his
fathers estate, we did not see much
OF one another. but he always came
home twice a year and / looked for
ward to his visits with great pleas
ure."
strange expression had come into
Mrs. de Peyster's face and suddenly
she asked: rs your name Tom?'
YES" he exclaimed. But how did
you guess?"
Il don't know" she replied. al Just
thought the name suited you
He went on:
Jack was a splendid fellow. You
would have liked him, Mrs. de Pey-
ster. do not know if you would
have thought him handsome, but it
was impossible not to feel his strength
when with him. You always felt that
someone was near who cared for you.
His mind was so perfectly balanced
and he had host of friends.
Il once tried to lie to Jack, but he
looked etraight into my eyes and | |
felt like wet dog. When my mother

AUTOMATIC CORN HUSkERs.
Changes and Improvements at Snow
flake Canning Factory-Crop Of 425
Acres About Ready for Delivery.

The work of canning the corn con-
tracted for last spring will be begun at
the Snowflake canning factory next
week. Andrew C. Griffin, who has charge
of the local plant for H. c. Baxter &
Brother, contracted for 425 acres of corn
livering the crop this week.
Many changes have been made at the
local factory during the summer and
many Improvements have been made.
The most noteworthy change is doing
away with the husking by hand. The
corn now will be carried in baskets
from the sheds or carts by a chain
elevator to the second story of the
building and then the baskets will be
emptied into spout or trough which is
connected with a table on the lower
floor. Beside this table is the husking
machine which will do the work of the
men more quickly and in a more sani-
tary way. There are five of these husk-
ing machines, which will remove not
only the husk, but also the silk and
trim the ear close to the corn.
The ears of corn, on emerging from
the husking machines, will drop into a
snort elevator and be carried direct to
the cutters, operated by girls. After
leaving the cutting machines the corn
is thrown into large tin receptacles and
then into circular screen which re-
moves any silk or husks left on the
corn by the cutting machines. The corn
is then mixed in a large mixer and sent
to the cooker, which has a capacity of
$4,000 cans a day.
A self-acting machine seals the cans
when they are filled, after which they
are taken to the retort room and kept
10 minutes under 24O pounds steam pres
sure Then they are taken to the cool
ing platform where they are cooled by
water and then carried to the storage
room for labelling and packing. More
than 30 hands will be employed at the
factory the coming season
Baxter & Brother have had similar
changes made in their canning factory
in Westminster.
