IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Cold Weather Makes Egg Market Firm
Butter Market Easy.

Boston, Sept. 3O-!The local butter
cheese and egg markets show no special
change from last reports. Demand for
butter shows no improvement and the
market is still rather easy, with sellers
inclined to make slight concessions,
Firm advices from the primary market
are responsible for steady market for
cheese locally. Cooler weather gives the
egg market more stability.

With great creaking OF rusty

welcome, but when she recognized

them alone. they ate their simple
luncheon In silence and when they
had finished Fay went outside while
Fielding paid the woman.
They walked slowly down the broad
street in the direction OF the river
It was the hour when the very few
who spent their winters in Pleasant
vile stopped work for their midday
dinner and there was absolutely nc
one In sight. The cottages which fol
the most part were used only by the
summer visitors were closed and the
windows and doors boarded, a sharp
breeze from the ocean blew through
the naked branches Of the trees, and
gloom and desolation seemed to brood
over the deserted village. Fay but
toned the collar Of her coat tightly
about her throat and unconsciously
they Quickened their footsteps.
They turned from the main roadway
into path that led them to pavilion
and the public boat-house where Fay
had always kept her sailboat.- he
big, gray, barn-like structure was clos.
ed and locked for the winter. but they
sat down on q wooden bench and look
ed out at the sparkling waters OF the
NatasQua. For long time neither OF
them spoke. Parhaps more than any
other place the river recalled to them
the joyous happy days Of their youth,
and both were conscious Of the same
thought. the thought that each knew
Alled the others mind. The river
unchanged. peaceful and beautiful,
still flowed on it's way to the sea, but
since they had last seen that river
what changes had come into their
lives! Fay shivcred slightly from the
cold. and getting up from the bench,
took several quick turns up and down
the porch Of the pavilion.
And now?" Fielding asked
"Now." Fay said. II think I'd like

and now quite deserted and In de-
plorable state OF neglect and decay
Many OF the shingles of which the
outer walls were made had been
wrenched loose by storms: the doors
of the long rows OF lighthouses nap
ped and creaked on their rusty
hinges, and the frames OF two dere-
lict bottomless rocking-chairs were
rocked slowly to and fro by the wino
that whistled and screeched its way
across the deserted porches ana
through the gaping cracks OF the shat
tered building. All trace OF the Drill

gone. and the sky was now filled WI.

sharp piercing breeze from the ocean
had turned the day bitterly colo
Fielding buttoned the collar OF his
overcoat tightly across his throat, and
sitting down at Fay's side. swung his
legs over the edge OF the porch. For
q long time there was silence While
they looked out on the high white
crested breakers that kept on impo
tsntly smashing away their terrific
power on the endless stretch OF gras
fiinty. beach. and tossing clouds OF
foamy spray high into the air.

The wind was rising constantly now
and every minute IL was growing

and stamped his feet, but Fay sat
still. her back against q pillar. her
arms gathered tightly about hel
knees, apparently completely oblivious
to the wind or cold.

pressed her arm tightly against Field

but II doesn't seem possible. I've got
to get back to the theater for the per

there's really no place for me to spend
the night here now; Is there?"
"No," he said. II suppose not I'm
sorry"
After this they walked on in silence
toward the road that led to the sea.
and Fay seemed to become more and
more depressed with every step they
took. To Fielding the whole visit to
Pleasantville was still an enigma. and
he could not understand the melan-
Sh0sy PtCoSuic tuat r ay u&O cNiuchtty
anticipated in returning to her old
home. Under other circumstances
her desire to 60 back to her people
and the scenes Of her youth was only
natural, but at the present her people
did not want to see her. and the only
object OF her present trip, - far a.
Fielding could understand II, was TO
stir up memories that he believed had
best have been forgotten entirely.
From the woods they turned into
the broad roadway that ran straight
to the ocean. Like all the other high.
ways It was quite deserted; the semi.
detached villas that lined II on either
side were vacant and had ugly rough
boards nailed across the doors and
windows: the bushes and flower beds
OF the little gardens were cold and
barren-looking, and many of the tiny
fenced lawns were strewn with tin
cans, empty bottles and the refuse
Of the summer that was gone. They
walked cautiously now along the mar.
row wooden sidewalk. and their pro-
gress was Of necessity very slow. for
many Of the planks were broken or
had rotted away entirely. At last
they caught q glimpse Of the ocean
and by way Of greeting Fay waved
her hand to Il and then started to
run through the heavy white sand, a.
