CHAPTER III.

She saw him every day; she dined
at the club table now.
Miss Garcide's hay-fever increased
with the ripening summer, and she
lay IN her room with all the windows
closed, sneezing and reading Anthony
Trollope
When Miss Castle told her that Mr..
Crawford was a guest at the club, Miss
Garcide wept over her for an hour
u feel like weeping, too" said
Miss Castle, tremulously-"but not
Not over him?" inquired Miss
CARBIDE.
Yes, over him. He ought to marry
a. girl who could fall in love with
him"
Meanwhile Crawford was dining
every evening with her at the great
club table, telling her of the DAYS
sport, and how a black bear had come
splashlng across the shadows within a
few rods of where he stood fishing,
and how the deer had increased, and
were even nibbling the succulent green
stalks in the kitchen garden after
nightfalI
During the day she found herself
looking forward to his return and his
jolly, spirited stories, always gay and
humorous, and never tiresome, tech
meal, nor conceited, although for three
years he had held the club cup for the
best fish taken on Sycamore water
She took sun-baths in her hammock;
she read novels; she spent hours in
revere, blue eyes skyward, arms under
her head, swayed in her hammock by
the delicious winds of perfect June
All her cOmposure and common
sense had returned. She began to
experience a certain feeling of respon-
SlDlhty for Crawford feeling almost
maternal
He's so amusingly shy about speak
ing" she told Miss CARBIDE; 81 sup

think I'll tell him that it is all ar
ranged. Besides, ] promised Mr. Gar
eide to speak. l don't see why 1
don't; m not bit embarrassed. l."
But the days went shining by, and
a new week dawned, and Miss Castle
had not taken pity upon her tongue
tied lover.
"Oh, this is simply dreadful" she
argued with herself. "Besides, want
to know how soon the man expects to
chase, thank you, and if he thinks a
trousseau is thrown together in
day, he's "a mani"
That evening she determined to
fulfill her promise to CARBIDE as scruDu-
Iously as she kept all her promises.
She. wore white at dinner, with
great bunch of wild iris that Crawford
had brought her Towards the end
of the dinner she began to be fright
ened, but it was the instinct of the Cas-
ties to fight fear and overcome it.

little foOt-bridge," she said, steadily,
examining the coffee In her tiny
cup; and if you viii stroll down
with your pipe, -. viii tell

She nodded, and he rose and attended
her to the door.
Then he lighted cigar and called
for a telegram blank
This is what he wrote:
James F. Crawford, 3IS NeU
Broad Street, N. Y:
81 am at the Sycamore.
When do you want me to
return?
JAMES III. CRAwFoRD."
The servant took the bit of yellow
paper. Crawford lay back smoking
and thinking of trout and forests
and blue skies and blue eyes that he
should miss very, very soon.
Meanwhile the possessor of the blue
eyes was standing on the little foot
bridge that crossed the water below
the lawn.
A faint freshness came upward to
her from the water, cooling he face.
She looked down into that sparkling
dusk which hangs over woodland
rivers, and she saw the ripples, all
sllvered, flowing under the moon, and
the wild-cherry blossoms trembling
and quivering with the gray wings
of moths.

For long while she stood, bending
down towards the water, her whole
body saturated with the perfume from
the fringed milkweed Then she raised
her delicate nose a trifle, shifting at
the air. which suddenly became family

Where did the smoke come from?
She turned instinctively. On a rock

ing peacefully, and casting a white

Thank you," said Miss Castle:

you are deliberately sacrificing the

He said, laughing: "I've held the
cup before. Try it, Miss Castle:
that is a five-pound fish, and the
record this spring is four and a half"
She took the rod; he went first and

He unslung his Ianding-net and
waited ready; she sent the line whirling
into the darkness.
..To the right" he said.
For ten minutes she stood there
casting in silence. Once a splash in
the shadows set his nerves quivering,

There was a rustic seat on the
river-bank; she sat down in one corner.
His face was in shadow; he had

at her side

After little while he spoke in a low

over his eyes, leaning forward and
looking into her face.

said, bending her head and looking

Then, as she slipped down the stairs
into the darkened hall, trepidation seized
her, for she heard his step.
He came swinging along the hall

came up quickly and took her hands;
she did not move; his arm encircled
her waist; he lifted her head: it Law

Packing and Storing
Fruits After Drying
By George Martin

lUmteu FreSS StalI coffespOndent)
Washington, Aug. S-Now we come
to the packing and storing of the
fruits and vegetables you have dried.
Although not necessary, tin cans or
glass jars make good receptaeles for
storing dried products.
Pasteboard boxes with tight covers
stout paper bags, and patented para
fin paper cartons also afford ample
protection for dried fruits and things
when protected from insects and ro-
dents.
The products must be protected from
the outside moisture and will keep best
in cool, dry, well ventilated place. In
humid regions air tight containers
should be used.
If you pack just enough for a meal
in each container, it will not be neees-
sary to open eontainer the contents
of which cannot be consumed in short
time.
If paper bag is used the upper part
should be twisted into neck, bent
over and tied tightly with twine. You
might also paint it with brush dipped
in melted parrafin. You might take an
added precaution by putting the bags
in a tin containeE with tight fitting
cover, such as a lard can or pail La
bel all bags to show what they contain.
If fruits or vegetables are packed in
tight containers Immediately upon be-
ing thoroughly dried they will remain
Just as brittle as when taken from the
drier. If not dried thoroughly they will
soon mold. To prevent this the mater
ial should be examined within "a hours
after packing and if it appears moist
lit must be dried further.

PRUNE PRICES
CONTINUED from page one.)

quite a number of sales on a 1-2 cent
basis. Robert j. Paulus, manager of
the Salem Fruit Union says that sales
have been slow for the past three
weeks. However, he thought that in
view of the fact that everything else
is high compared to last year that even
the present price of prunes was not
out of proportion compared to other
food products.
Oregon's Crop An Average.
The yield of prunes for this part of
the valley would about equal that of
last year, Mr.. Paulus said On an esti-
mate Of S35 acres the crop prospects
showed a shrinkage Of 10000 pounds
compared to one year ago, or about 100
pounds TO the acre. These estimates
included several of the shorter drops.
As the better orchards will later be
included in the estimate, he thought
the crop would average up well in this
vicinity with that Of last year.
But Just at present, things seems to
be at a stand still as the growers are
demanding a certain figure and the
eastern buyers are holding back. 1t is
probably the same old proposition Of
the grower banking his knowledge of
the situation against that of the east
ern buyer. But this year, so many new
elements enter into the situation that
even the experts, with the figures to
back them, hardly know which way
to guess. Hence, just at present, there
is nothing much stirring in the prlns
market.
