created, six years before, by Berg
back. But the plant died, and fifty
thousand crossings had failed to de-
velop it again. 1t was, in fact, a
sport" a cross between two species
that would not produce fruit, though
it was a simple matter to induce a
luxurious growth of leaves. John had
seen the possibilities of strawberry
culture. And he, only a commuter,
toiling all day in a stuffy insurance
Office, had grown this wonder.
The seeds of the strawberry would
be fertile. There was no doubt of that.
But the plant had borne only one
fruit, just as Bergback's had done.
Bergback's had died in a nipping frost
that swept down upon his plantations.
But this was June, and there was no
fear of frost any more.

sunbonnet appear at the back porch.

still as much in love with John as
when they had been married, and he

lectual type; but she was pretty and
dainty, and the face upturned under
the sunbonnet was marvelously sweet
and good-tempered.
We'll! Have you two old fogies
found something remarkable?" she
asked.
Henry Price was an old bachelor,
and reputed to be woman-hater His
affection for John, whom he had
known a good many years, had man

point of feeling at home when he
called. But his distrust and fear of
Womankind had never left him: and

Company Not to Profit by
Electric Inspectors Error

vINELAND. June 1.-THE Fowler
Waste Manufacturing Company, of
Vineland, is not to profit by mis-
take made by an electric meter in
spector employed by the town of
Vineland to read meters for the pur-
pose of presenting bills for electric
current In reading the meters OF
the company the inspector forgot to
multiply the face reading of the meter
by ten, and bills were presented the
company by the city for one-tenth OF
what they actually should have been.
The mistake lasted two years.
Under a court decision at Trenton
the monthly bills for the last two
years will be increased by nine times
and the company will have to pay in
full for the current it received.
