CHAPTER XXIII.

A dog barked. Then another-and an
other. Then there was silence for mo-
ment.
Jesse strode forth from the house to listen,
wonderingly. He found Gaal staring toward
the goat shed with anxious eyes.

Jesse 'Is aught wrong with the dogs?'
'Nay, my father" answered Gaal, quickly.

But hope hath almost left me in mine old

'If thou nearest the worst, thy strength

"Nay, 1 shall hope again. But thou, Gaal,

Jesse stroked his beard thoughtfully. The

in their territories
A reduction of thirty cents ton on
broken sizes. and OF from fifty to seventy
five cents on pea coal, must result in Phila-
delpha from the new coal prices. according
to a statement issued today by Fuel Ad-
mlnistrator Garfield.
The price on all sizes in Wilmington. Del,
will be reduced twenty-five cents in Balti-
more fifteen to twenty cents, and but very
slightly In the small towns OF Pennsylvania
New Jersey and Delaware.
This announcement answers the conten-
tIons made yesterday by many local dealers
that the new order would not decrease
prices. The price schedule allows the re-
tailers to add to their gross profit per ton
for 1915 80 per cent to provide for in
crease in expenses Of selling and handling
Some of the retailers were bitter In their
denunciation of the new prices. 1t was
maintained that this schedule far from
having the desired effect. wouldn't lower
the retail price of coal, but in some cases
would raise it,
1t has been unoficially announced that all
dealers failing TO comply with the new
prices will be prosecuted. 1t has also been
learned that following appointment OF the
State administrator auditors will be sent
TO examine the books OF those retailers
whose figures do not agree with Govern
ment figures.
The price announced yesterday is based
upon figures obtained by the Federal Trade
Commission, by figures taken from the re-
port of the commission appointed by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, under the act OF June
is, 1915, to investigate coal prices. and
upon the result OF conferences with many
OF the large coal operators OF this country.
