potatoes. the finest on earth. Encour-
age Pennsylvania potato growers.
There are other potatoes to be sure
but they are not quite so good as
Pennsylvania potatoes which natur-
ally bring a higher price. Do you
know that the present market prices
on potatoes are, in an average, below
the cost of production? hat is not
right. Thousands of bushels of these
are now being shipped to the market
in prime condition to help out the
cost of living.
Our average consumption of pota-
toes is four bushels per person yearly
Each member of your household
should eat two-thirds. of a bushel of
potatoes during the month of De-
cember. II they We're used in the
great variety of ways they can be
cooked the consumption would be a
bushel per person during the month
of December.
There is no place to store the pota
toes now coming into the market,
save in the homes of the people. The
railroads need the cars to haul other
products. The logical distribution is
quick handling from the car to the
retailer and from the retailer to the
consumer and from the basket
straight to the table.
on December potato growers of
Pennsylvania will meet at Public
Safety. Committee headquarters in
Philadelphia to organize state
branch of the Potato Association of
America. The object is to plan to
raise more potatoes and better pota-
toes next year. The greatest encour-
aEement, however, that can be given
will come through the consumption Of
potatoes during the coming weeks. 1t
is almist unpatriotic to eat canned
goods during December, when pota-
toes and other vegetables can be had
in such large quantities The more
potatoes we eat, the more bread and
meat our boys at the front will get.

Kendrick frowned impatiently.
"Miss Leland, admire faith; l am

reason to know that Herman bet ten thou
sand dollars on his mare to-day. An alb
surd wager, justifiable in no confidence in
horses ability-justifabl if l may so
misuse the word, only if he had rendered
the mares victory certain, either by an
arrangement with other stables that their
entries should lose, or by an injection of
dope into his mare that would cause her
to show powers well beyond her normal
ability. We have the evidence of DR..

There is nothing more to be done, save"

Bobby Dane spoke to her. "Don't
be foolish. Mr.. Kendrick-"
She bit her lip.
"What evidence have you, even though
Vivandiere was doped, to charge Mr..
Herman with the offense?"
Evidence? We have the man who did
it at Mr.. Kernan's orders! Sam, come

up to now by me. AS if all this were

hand at me-
"Dat's de man, gemmen,' he said
"Dat's de man done give me fohty dollahs

THERE was moment of dead silence,
in which | heard Miss Leland breathing
heavily. Her bosom rose and fell tenn

for her, not for me, to speak.

The girl turned to me.
@Mr. Herman, you hear these out
rageous charges. Why don't you answer
them?"
REHIND her l saw Dane. His hand
was at his mouth, but he could not
hide the sneer in his eyes. And still the
time for violence, that last desperate re-
sort of outraged manhood, was not come.
"Why don't you answer them?" asked
the girl again, sweeping me with a fiery
glance.

licked his lips as he looked at us.
"Well?" snapped Kendrick, as the little
man failed to speak.
"The mare, Vivandiere, was doped, he
said. IL found marks of the needle"
"You lie!" cried.

A dazed look in his eyes, that must have
matched my own, Jerry stumbled down
the steps, A moment later saw him lead
the dancing mare off the track.
Result! RESULT cried the crowd
Judge Kendrick, the senior Judge,
walked to the front of the stand he lifted
hand for silence. Then he put the
megaphone to his lips and cried:
"The result of the last race will not be
announced for few moments Please
wait patiently until the report of the
veterinary now examining Vivandiere can
be announced"

bloodless as he spoke to me:
"Be calm, Misteh Kernan;, be calm"
Simple words, but they had an effect on
me. To resort to violence would only
prejudice what case had; and that, with
my judges in the plot against me, was
little enough.
IN daze, walked to the front of the
stand. If had thought I'd been Kissed
four days ago, knew now that the crowd
had been gentle with me on Tuesday.
For now at sight of me-and always pre-
judging, as is the habit with crowds
they stood up and shook fists and reviled
me. looked toward Miss Leland's box.
Isaw her arguing-it seemed-with Dane.
Then saw her leave the box, and, with
his apparently unwilling escort, descend
to the track and walk across to the judges
stand. A moment later she was in it and
addressing Kendrick.
"May inquire the reason for the delay
in announcing the result of the last racer"
she asked Jelly. She paid no attention
to me.
Kendrick had the grace to blush.
"Why, Miss Leland, we have reason to
believe that there is something illegiti-
mate behind the strange form reversal of
your horse to-day"
