begun to mellow and was in gay mood.

he adjusted the fashionable tie that
was hardly in keeping with his gray
flannel shirt: But you'll soon take

Marie again appeared in the door
way. She bowed to the guests with i'm
pressive formality.
IF you will enter, gentlemen"
Hardy went in between Vandervyn
and Dupont. He avoided the girls
proud gaze by looking about at the
dining room. 1t was as Gifted as the
parlor and no less tasteful The small
oval table was spread with cloth of
snowy French damask. The silver
was real antique ware. The unsmiling
hostess bowed Hardy to the seat of
honor.
"This here layout is Marie's." ex-
planned Dupont. "She was bound to

The Difference of his manner soothed

and combined a friendly response with
side thrust at her father:
Indeed, we shall be delighted to

your company, and Pere because of the
cash.
"By Gar, he won't git no better feed
in no hotel" vowed Dupont.
II can foresee that" agreed Hardy.
His faith was justified by each sue

SHIP IS TORPED0ED
AMERICANS ABOARD BRITISH
STEAMER MARINA SUNK BY
SUBMARINE.
SEVENTY OF CREW MISSING
Only Thirty-Four Survivors Are Land
ed at Croot1aven-United States
Citizens on Rowanmore Which Was
Sunk by Diver-Lifeboats Shelied.

London, Nov. 1.-The admiralty in
formed the American embassy that the
Marina was torpedoed, but that it had
not been ascertained whether warning
was given.
No official information is available
whether any Americans were drowned,
although only 81 survivors have been
landed at Crookhaven. The Marina.
which was outward bound, was tor
pedoed twice and broke in two. 1t is
reported that men were drowned while
attempting to lower boats. Mr.. Frost
has been ordered to obtain all avail
able information in regard to the
Americans on the vessel. The admiralty
says the Marina was not under govern
ment charter.
Only thirty-four members of the
crew of 104 are known to have been
picked up. They have been landed at
Crookhaven, Ireland.
Lloyds, however, reports that a
steamer anchored off Crookhaven.
Ireland, signals that it has picked up
the ship-wrecked crew of the Marina.
Mr.. Frost is now procuring attidavits
from survivors.
The Marina, which has been en-
gagged in transatlantic service, was a
vessel of 5,204 tons gross, built in 1890.
1t was last reported as arriving at
Glasgow October 10, after sailing from
Newport News September 81.
A report on the sinking October 26 of
the British steamship Rowanmore also
was made to the American embassy by
Mr.. Frost, who states that the vessel
was torpedoed. Seven Americans, in
Guiding five Filipinos, We're on board
the Rowanmore.
Several of them have given Mr..
Frost aftidavitS stating that subma-
rine shelled lifeboats while they were
being lowered and after they were
clear of the ship, without causing loss
of life.
Newport News, Va, Nov. AT the
offices of the United States Shipping
company, local agents for the Donald
son line, owners of the Marina, it was
stated that the Marina was not a trans
port in the service of the British gov
eminent.
''She is one Of the regular steamers
plying between here and Glasgow" it
was said, land was owned and OPP
Grated as a merchantmen by the Don
aldsOn line. She carried general cargo
and sometimes horses for the British
government, but she had not been COM
Wandered, and still retained her char
acter as a merchantmen"
Asbury Park, N. j., Nov. 1.-Presi-
dent Wilson learned of the sinking of
the British steamer Marina while at
dinner. A request was Immediately
sent the state department for all de-
tails. The reply stated the character
of the charter under which the vessel
was operating had not been definitely
determined. Until this is settled it will
not be known whether the submarine
issue will be again raised between the
United States and Germany.

History of the Potato.

The potato was introduced into
Spain, probably from Peru, early in the
sixteenth century by some returning
Spanish explorer whose name has not
come down. 1t found its way into HOl-
land and Italy, but was cultivated in
gardens merely as curiosity. Dates
vary as to it's introduction int Eng
land and the claims of Sir Francis
Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh are in
dispute. Both seem to have brought
them almost simultaneously one au-
thority gives the year 1885 as the time
when Drake brought them and 1886 as
the year of their introduction by
Raleigh Another writer gives pre-
cedence to Raleigh. Hawkins, the
slave trader, is said TO have intro
duced potatoes to Ireland in 1865.

The party topped the rise between
the river and Sioux creek, and rode
down the winding road that skirted its
willow-fringed bank TO the crossing of
the stream. AS they rounded the spur
ridge on the far side, Redbear rode up
on Hardy's right. and pointed to
small cabin among the quaking asps
in the mile-wide curve of the stream tc

"See my house. sir" he said.

Redbear started TO speak, caught the

Hardy did not notice this. They had
rounded the toe of the spur ridge, and
he was gazing up the green valley that
lay cutstretched in a circle OF hills

of n canyon ut the far end. to meander
down winding channel fringed with
bushes and aSpens and other small

The city of Seal Beach, CAL, is now

novel idea Of Illuminating the entire

than 25,000-candle power, has been
placed on the outward edge of long

opened again in wide, guileless stare
There's little to tell. Nogen and

Vandervyn twisted the tip of his

paid to them instead of to the labOrers

ore, you know. The chiefs stirred up

face soften and her brilliant eyes melt
with tender passion. His own face
became grave A moment later she was
rallying him for his seriousness, and
