DR.. WILEY'S SAMPLES

nR. HARVEY W. WILEY was asked to
- speak at the Southern Chautauqua. On
arriving at the station of the small town he
was accosted by an oldtime negro. 4Dis
way, Cap'n, dis way! kin take yo' any
whar you want to 60"
The doctor followed, and was conducted
to an old chaise of the vintage of the early
nineteenth century. The horse was high
and built on Gothic lines, but sufficiently
buttressed, the doctor thought, to carry his
weight.
@Whar will All fin your luggage, Sah?'
asked the negro as he assumed to assist the
doctor to his seat.

The negro looked little dubious. @Ah

A little way along, and the driver seemed
concerned. Turning to the doctor, NAm

The doctor, thinking to simplify matters,
said, well, yes, l am going to sell some

derstanding.

tor tentatively.
4Might All inquiah, Sab, what you sell,

The doctor smiled. @Some call it wit and

4Yes, Sah,' said the driver; then, after
some meditation, "Yo' am de fust drummer,

night. They've asked me to be master of

With fixed, agreeable smile, Peter sat,
drank whatever the steward brought him,
automatically consumed Craven's cigarettes,
and listened without the least interest to the
others plans. How could he be interested,
with that fellow Quoin monopolizing Lydia?
Not that he didn't like Quoin. In fact
Peter admired that man tremendously: so
much the more reason to fear his in
f1uence!
And Lydia, leaning on the rail, vision
more radiant even than the day, was look
ing up into Quoin's dark face and laughing.

CHAPTER x
THERE, Peter announced Mrs. Beggar-
staff, @there goes very happy grill
Her amazing complacency would have
suited fairy godmother gloating over some
signal benefcence.
Past the deck chair in which she was re-
clining, with Peter Trait at her side, arm in
arm, Lydia Craven and Mrs. Merrilees
were striding briskly aft. Rare color
warmed the face of Craven's daughter,
mirth danced in her eyes, smile edged the
pretty lips from which the breeze caught
snatch of laughter as musical as singing
glass, and bore it to the ears of her two de-
voted admirers.
aUm-hm," Peter assented indistinctly be-
tween teeth gripping the mouthpiece of his
pipe. Basking in the warmth of late Sep
tember sun, as lazily content as any cat,
Peter watched the girls swing down the deck
and disappear round the superstructure.
Then he removed the pipe to observe critic
yourself-eh?'
1Why not?" the Dowager Dragon de-
manded with asperity. Didn't l discover
who she was and bring her and Tad together?
That's why she's happy, if you must know:
not because you've fallen head over heels in
love with the girl and moon round after her
like a stray puppy looking for good home.
"Ouch!" said Peter pensively, and re-
placed the pipe.
With grim sniff the Dowager Dragon
withdrew momentarily into deep thought.
@Have you asked her to marry you YETI"
"Who-me?" Peter expostulated. "Noth-
ing like that!'
"Why not?"
4Too much sense, Peter explained, rarely
sententious.
@Whose-hers?"
Even money you can't guess"
3Yours, of course'
3There!" groaned Peter. II might've
known better than to bet against intuition
"Why plain intuition, Peter? The phrase
is rightfully feminine intuition

Secretly charmed, Mrs. Beggarstaff wrin-
kled her nose unbecomingly. @For once"
she commented sourly, 4there's nearly as
much truth as loquacity in you. For once
you admit man is deficient. What's the
matter?""
4Pardon!" Peter murmured civilly in the
act of rising.

because it's six bells and the suns over the
yardarm. Good morning."
@Just like mani" the Dowager Dragon
returned the taunt. @Worsted in argument
by woman, he takes to drink"
Grinning, Peter made quaint obeisance,
and strolled aft, leaving Mrs. Beggarstaff
to gnaw her neither lip over the discovery,
too tardily made to be turned to his discom-
future, that it wasn't craving for strong

TURNING past the veranda cafe, at the
after extreme of the promenade deck,
Peter came upon Mrs. Merrilees, seated
at an adjacent table in company with
Craven.
A second glance showed him Lydia in the
angle of the starboard rail, Quoin at her
side.
In response to hail from Craven, he
turned sulkily to that quarter, where, at
least. cheerful disposition wouldn't go un-
appreciated. Indeed, he was welcome.
Having privately disseminated news of their
engagement, Craven and Mrs. Merrilees
were industriously conducting themselves
in as smartly an unloverlike manner as pos
sible. A tentative third was always encour-
aged in their company.

Large Domestic Consumption.

Present indications are that during the
coming season the domestic consumption
will be unusually large on account Of talk
ings for livestock purposes. and that the
eNportable surplus will find = good foreign
demand. The quality of the grain prom
ises to be very good, because usually the
quality is good when the yield is heavy.
Although sufficient proportion of the
foreign wheat crops has not Yet been
harvested to indicate whether not the
aggregate result IS likely to exceed the
bumper total of last year. preliminary re-
ports from winter wheat growing coun-
tries. whose harvestS are either finished
or which will take place within the next

iiciency Of this variety as compared with
the preceding season. Spring wheat
however. which ordinarily constitutes
over one-fourth of the worlds annual
supply. has yet to pass through critical
stages of development. and uncertainty
respecting the outcome renders all pres

varieties vague and undecisive.
