Nearly 800 Bushels OF Peaches
Brought Here Yesterday.


The Frederick market was flooded
with Frederick county peaches of fine
quality yesterday morning. 1t was
estimated yesterday morning by
prominent fruit growers that nearly
500 bushels were on market. Fruit
growers from all parts of the county,
some from Washington county, came
to Frederick yesterday morning.
Some of the farmers left their homes
at II o'clock the preceding night in
order that they might be in time for
market. Verton Hutzell, of Boons-
boro, appeared on market at $50
o'clock. He told a reporter for The
Frederick Post that he had left his
home shortly before II o'clock Mon
day evening
Record low prices were quoted on
the market during the morning. Sc

as 20 cents per bushel. One Freder-
lick resident touring in the vicinity of
Deerfield few days ago was offered
peaches in unlimited quantities for
10 cents per bushel, provided he pick

CHAPTER XIV.
On the Trail of the Quarry.

"HE eyes of Mike Kearney's
mother were becoming very
dim with age. Her old Key
Of Heaven" was now replaced
by volume Of prayer in much heavier
type. and she wore glasses during her
almost constant devotions.
As the detective captain in charge
of the homicide bureau at headquar-
tiers, Kearney found even less time
to turn his thoughts away from the
business Of man hunting. He had de
veloped some excellent sleuths and
was beginning to feel pleasure in
watching them advance under his
guidance and training.
Kearney's only recreation was still
his home. and the sound Of his moth.
er's voice, with its pleasing bit OF
brogue, was his only music. But as
the burden Of her years became heav-
Ter the strength OF her mind was sap

get things that had happened only an
hour before and remember things
wildly and suddenly that had happen
Cd years and years past

specuor.
Kearney determined to give his per-
sonal attention to the people who came
and went from the postoffice building.
He was back on the trail after eleven
years. Indeed. eleven years were az
eleven days to him. II his natural
span of life had been seventy decades
instead Of seven he would have been
patient through the whole TOO years.
He had not been able to pick mp the
lost tracks OF Hawkins. but Hawkins
was skilled In the tricks Of the under
world. The real man he was after had
been but a country boy when he was
sent up for life. In lodging the law
he had big chances against him be-
cause Of his inexperience. He would
make many mistakes. he had made
one-sending money to Nyack. 1t Is a
police axiom that even the most care
full OF criminals sometimes overlooks an
important detail in covering himself.
Kearney watched and waited. keep
ing his ears open all the time TO catch
the gossip of small city. There was
attention of the people who hocked to
the postoffice at intervals during the
day. 1t was the marriage of John Mel
son to Molly Bryan. the daughter of
the president Of the Reedy River Cot
ton Mill company
From fragments of conversation
Kearney learned that these two people
were much beloved the girl because of
her Seauty and her earnest work
among the poor of the mill settlements
and the man because OF a sanity life.
At sunset on the evening of the third
day In June. just as the postoffice was
about TO close and as the last Of the
idlers began to depart man of serious
mien. wearing beard touched with
gray, stepped from an automobile In
front of the building He entered and
went to one OF the mail slots. dropping
a letter therein.
1t had hardly touched the bottom of
the little chute when three distinct
knocks sounded on the glass window
pane behind the detective. 1t was the
signal agreed upon between the clerk
within and the man on watch outside.
A thrill OF exultation that was worth
waiting eleven years to experience shot
through Kearney. His hands itched to
close on the arm Of this person. The
mastering OF this one emotion Of which
has nature was capable left him aston
ished. for he had not expected TO come
upon man of the type before him.
There was something so grave In the
Continued Next Week.
