CHAPTER xI.

One afternoon, swinging along Fifth
avenue in his downtown walk, Sam
son met Mr.. Farbish. who fell into
step with him, and began to make
conversation.

after the commonplace had been dis
posed of, you'll pardon my little pre-

Samson, with glance of disquieting

Possibly, 1t was not necessary,
merely polite. OF course" he laughed.

women. It's just as well not to dis

Samson made no response But
Farbish, meeting his eyes, felt as
though be had been contemptuously
rubuked. His own eyes clouded with
an impulse Of resentment. But it
passed, as he remembered that his
plans involved the necessity of win
ming this boys confidence.
At the steps Of Fifth avenue club,
Farbish halted,
Wont you turn in here" he sug-
gested. "and assuage your thirst?'
Samson declined. and walked on.
But when, day or two later, he
dropped into the same club with
George Lescott, Farbish joined them
in the grill-without invitation.

interloper with an easy assurance

ception had no seeming effect, 1T

flights are beginning, I'll call Mr..
South up, and pass the news to him."
Samson had thought it rather singu-
lar that he had never met Horton at
the Lescott house, though Adrienne
spoke of him almost as of member
of the family However, Samson's
visits were usually in his intervals be-
tween relays of work and Horton was
probably at such times in Wall street.

which he attacked his daily schedule

ORCHARD NOTES
Big Yield of .Cherries-Improves
Flavor of Early Peaches

George Coulson reports an enorm.
Gus yield of cherries from two trees
in his orchard near Freezeout. From
the two trees he gathered 102 gallons
the Royal Ann variety.
The Index is indebted to William
Findley for generous basket Of May
flower peaches picked from his or
chard south of town. AS an expert
ment, Mr.. Finley was stingy with mis-
irrigation water this year, and as a
result, this variety of peaches, usually
watery and without fayor,was greatly
improved in both respects.
John, Louis and William Obermeyer
have contracted for the entire apricot
crop of Frozen Dog ranch. There
will be between 300 and 1900 crates
and will be ready for market next
week.

FRUIT OUTLOOK FOR

Short Crops Reported from the
Leading Productive
States
(Bv E. P. Stephensl

Professor E. P. Taylor, last year en-
gagged in Idaho horticultural work, al
I this time with the Utah Fruit Grow
ers' association, writes under date OF
I June 27, stating that the Utah apple
crop is going to be light. Apple bloom
was light and the frosts south of Salt
Lake took most everything and all
kinds of fruit North of Salt Lake,
however, there will be good crop of
peaches. Just now they are shipping
cherries, the crop Of which would be
about one-half as many as last season.
western Colorado has been hard
hit by the frost, and they will not
have more than one-fourth of the nor
NAL peach and apple crop"
A correspondent from Michigan
writes me that the apple crop in Mich
igan will be light. The secretary Of
the International Apple Shippers as
sociation reports from Rochester, n.
Y, prospect of so or so per cent ap-
pie crop in the western half of New
York state. Conditions along the
Hudson river in New York state favor
q normal crop in that district.
Greatly increased prevalence of
blight from Colorado eastward, as re-
ported by Professor VI. B. Waite, indi-
Gates loss from that cause over that
territory. Professor E. H. Favor, ed
itor of the Western Fruit Grower,
writes that the excessive amount Of
wet weather in Missouri will be likely
to develop an unusal amount of loss
from fungus diseases. Indications
therefore point to more room in which
to market the northwestern apple
crop, and for better values. Apple
brokers in Omaha state there is a dis
position on the part of the middlemen
and retailers of fruit to handle fruit
on moderate margins to widen distri-
button and increase consumption by
placing fruit in the hands of the mid
die classes of people, at prices which
will encourage increased consumption.
In Idaho there is an increased feel
ing that we should market part of our
crop in face and fill packages rather
than the exclusively paper wrapped,
and do our part toward placing fruit
in the hands of the consumer at at
,ractive prices.

MOOSE LOST FIRST GAME
South Slopers Drive First Peg in
Post-Season Games

With a banquet staring the win
ners in the face, the South Slopers
skinned the Moose and hung the hide
on the fence to dry. This was the
first of three post season games in
the Twilight league, in which the
losers are to banquet the winners.
Two meteors flashed IN the Twi-
light sky in Tuesday nights game.
Ray Farnsworth, a plumber by pro-
fession, was one He pitched for the
Slopers, and hung 10 strikeouts on the
Moose, landing such 5atsters as Sam
Mcmillan and Old Reub Eaton. Not a
single faulty connection was made IN
the job. Elmer Holverson, the Ter
rible Swede," was the other. He did
the twirling for the Moose and shone
like a star of the first magnitude.
Compared to his opponent, it was
