CHAPTER XIV.

Mary was the picture of lady fius-
tered. Bibbs had paused in his slow
stride. and there elapsed an instant be-
fore either spoke or moved-it was no
longer than that, and yet it sufficed
for each to seem to say, by look and at
titude, 'Why, it's you'll"
Then they both spoke at once, each
hurriedly pronouncing the others
name as If about to deliver a mes
sage of Importance. Then both came
to a stop simultaneously but Bibbs
made a heroic effort. and as they be-
gan to walk on together he contrived
to find his voice.
'I-I-hate a frozen fish myself"
he said. II think three miles was too
long for you to put up with one"
Good graciousI" she cried, turning
to him a glowing face from which
restraint and embarrassment had sud
denly fed. "Mr Sheridan, you're
lovely to put it that way. 1t was an
imposition for me to have made you
bring me home, and after 1 went into
the house l decided l should have
walked. Besides, it wasn't three miles
to the car line. l never thought Of it!'
NO" said Blbbs, earnestly. 81
didn't, either. might have said some
thing If I'd thought of anything. I'm
talking now, though; 1 must remember
that, and not worry about 1t later
think I'm talking though 1t doesn't
sound intelligent even to me. l made
+hut unf
again I'd turn on my voice and keep i
going, no matter what it said. Z"
She interrupted him with laughter
and Mary Vertrees' laugh was on
, which Bibbs' father had declared, afte
the house-warmlng, Sd cripple woul'
crawl five miles to hear" And at tn
merry lifting of it Bibbs' fathers sol
took heart to forget some of his trepl
dation. "I'll be any kind of idiot" b
said IF you'll laugh at me some more
! 1t won't be difficult for me-"
She did; and Bibbs' cheeks showed
/. little actual color, which Mary pei
Z ceived. They had passed the new hous
without either of them showing-o
= possessing-any consciousness that
had been the destination of one c
: them.
| "Tll keep on talking" Bibbs col
| tinued cheerfully. "and you keep o
laughing. I'm amounting to somethin

She turned away as great sound

SPECIALIZED DELIVERY FOR
THE SPECIALIZED FARM

over brick pavements and asphalt.
The man who raises berries and fruit
soon comes to wonder how he ever man
aged to stay in business with his old
fashioned methods of delivery. His mo-
tor truck enables him to rise later in
the morning and get to market at the
customary time. 1t enables him to
gather his tender fruit, such as berries
and peaches, in the cool of the day, and
get it to market or shipping point the
same afternoon. 1t not only moves him
up closer to his customary market but
puts him within easy striking distance
of other markets.
These conditions apply with equal
force to the producer OF truck garden
vegetables. The motor truck makes
the raiser of radishes, green peas and
roasting ears master Of his early morn
ing marketing. 1t let's him get as much
sleep as every man deserves, and yet
enables him to get into market before
It already IS glutted. 1t makes him in
dependent OF local buyers, and enables
him to go where he can get the best
prices and conditions. Furthermore, it
enables him to get there moro easily,
quickly and economically.
Every man who produces milk, cream,
butter or cheese to any extent is, or
soon will be, the owner Of motor
truck. II gives him the power and speed
necessary to make quick deliveries in
the cool OF the day and cover, If neces-
sary, long distances. The motor truck
as now built will travel over all kinds
Of roads In all kinds Of weather. and
will encounter any hill. The motor
truck has become an all year PROPOSE
ton, and one which will relieve the
dairyman of the tortures OF slow and
tiresome delivery.
The poultry farmer Is q natural mem
Der Of the motor truck club and finds
that his business can be handled with
alacrity and economy by the aid Of gas
oline 1t enables him to market daily.
when desired, and to answer and to fill
special orders on short notice. 1t makes
a full fledged business man out Of the
otherwise, handicapped poultry farmer
A farmer need not be an all-fruit, all
vegetable, all-dairy or all-poultry farmer
10 come I'm under the classification Of
those who need specialized delivery. Be
ing engaged in several lines OF specialize
ed farming does not keep man from
being a candidate for specialized deliy-
cry
No one need be surprised, then, to OBJ
serve an increase in the number iof mo-
tor trucks purchased for farm use. AS
the kind of materials marketed change,
the means of marketing will differ. The
more farmers who become engaged In
specialized farming of any sort, the moro
farmer owners of motor trucks will there

Well, it's come-the Charley Chaplin
waltz.
Chaplin skirts, canes, candy and a
hundred other things will be forgotten
for the new dance, the one novelty TO
be seen in ball rooms in 1916.
It's a combination of what is called
the walk waltz and it's not a bit vul-

not have approved It at their recent

Bogus German
Stamps Fool
CMr1O Seeker

LONDON, Jan. 1S.-(Correspondenc
Of the Associated ress.)-Stamp col
lectors in the United States have been
badly hoaxed in accepting as genuine
the German Kamerun stamp bearing the
overprint G. r. l.. according to a British
officer with the troops now occupying
that African colony. The German
colonial stamps are genuine, he says,
but the overprint is bogus. Germans in
the unconquered part Of the colony use
the old stamp as il is. Members of the
expedition send their mail by govern
ment frank alone. Civilians in the part
under British protectorate use the Ger
man stamp bearing the overprint Of C.
z. F. (Cameroons Expeditionary Force).
In no case were the initials Of the Eng
lish king and his titles printed upon the
stamps.
