weeks earlier than usual. Produce
jobbers report a far above normal
demand for seed Irish potatoes and
they believe that the springs plant

The paradox of the potato situation
is that. although eating potatoes are

Keziah did not follow. What would
have been the user This was not the
time to speak. She knew now and she
knew, also, that the responsibility was
hers. She must go home at once, go
home to be alone and to think. She
tiptoed back through the grove and
across the fields.
Yet if she had waited, she might
have seen something else which would
have been, at least, interesting. She
had scarcely reached the outer edge
Of the grove when another figure pass

CHAPTER TX.

In Which keziah's Troubles Multiply.
Keziah was getting worried about
her parsop. Not concerning his popu-
larity with his congregation She had
long since ceased to worry about that
But what worried Mrs. Coffin was
John Ellery's personal appearance and
behavior He had grown perceptibly
thinner during the past month, his
manner was distract, and, worst of all
in the housekeeper's eyes. his appetite
had fallen off. She tried all sorts of
tempting dishes, but the result was
dlscouraging.
His Observation-Disclosures was most
acute on Sunday evenings, before pray
er meeting, and after he had returned
from the afternoon at Captain Ell
kanah's.

was received settled the question of

Guided by Wireless,

The latest and most wonderful use
to which wireless apparatus has been
put is set forth in a paragraph from
Berlin, Germany. According to the
newspaper report experiments have
been going on for some time with a
rudderless, crewless motor boat on
Lake Wansee which have proved re-
markably successful. The inventor
Of this Tcrewless boat is a school
teacher named Christian Wirth. In
trying out his invention the boat was
towed out two miles in the lake and
by means Of his wireless apparatus
all the boats movements were d.

had brought 1t home from sea when
she was a girl.
From the case she took a packet Of
letters and daguerreotype. The lat
ter was the portrait Of young man,
in high-collared coat. stock and fancy
waistcoat. Mrs. Coffin looked at the
daguerreotype, sighed, shuddered, and
laid 1t aside. Then she opened the
packet Of letters. Selecting one from
the top Of the pile, she read 1t slowly.
And, as she read, she sighed again.
She did not hear the back door of
the parsonage open and close softly.
Nor did she hear the cautious foot
steps in the rooms below. What
aroused her from reading was her
own name, spoken at the foot OF the
stairs.

Then, certain that he really was going
straight home, she re-entered the par.

striving to grasp the situation Then
she arose and, putting on her bonnet
