unbelieving, at this apparent imme-

uttered fervent cry, the sister, Leila,
was at his side in one swift whirl of
her supple body, her arms about his
neck and crying, laughing, sobbing for
sheer unrestrained joy. And then none
thought of the meal for the moment.
The glad greetings over, the fathers

The man was attired in the height of
fashion. He wore no ornament except
a small discolored ring, pendant from
a silken watch ribbon crossing his
vest. His face was bronzed. his hands
SCARED and rough. With all of these
incongruities, it would have puzzled
even a skilled physiognomist to deter
mine his exact social and business
status.
He bore a thin package about the
size of an ordinary window pane, COW
cred with wrapping paper, under his
arm. Whoever or whatever he was,
he was seriously intent upon the bust
ness in hand. He stood with one foot
on a kitchen doorstep, his ear bent
within. Then he placed his package
carefully tilted against the house and
stole on tiptoe across the first room
beyond.
In the adjoining one table was set
with three persons around it, a gray
haired old man, his gentle-faced wife
and a girl of about twenty, evidently
their daughter. At one side of the
table was plate reversed, knife, fork
and spoon, cup and saucer and a nap
kin encircled by a silver band, and as
the eyes of the intruder noted this, he
fairly suppressed a great gasp and his
eyes moistened and his strong face
quivered.
Dear old folks !" he breathed and
then off and down went his hat, his
head bowed reverently. The old man
was asking a blessing upon the homely
meal. The watcher stole across the
kitchen floor, noiselessly dropped into
the empty chair at the table and sat
there trembling and expectant as the
old mans voice concluded the formal
grace with the earnest words:
"And bring back to US our dear
wandering boy"
And then the reverent heads were
lifted and old John Davis, his staring
eyes fixed upon the wandering boy re-

POTATO Notes

Fort Fairfield, Oct. with the mar
ket brea king at the So mark Thursday,
very few potatoes were being bought
in by the Fort Fairfield farmers. The
majority OF the farmers are storing
their stock as fast IS it is taken from
the ground. in anticipation OF higher
prices later in the season. Many farm
ers claim that TO break even this fall
they must get at least $3.50 for their
potatoes. the increased price Of produc-
ton and the decidedly poor crops maxi
ing this condition. With farm labor
ers and help scarcer than ever before
in the history of this famous Aroostook
industry, wages have mounted to a
level never before equalcd by the farm
laborer. The average wage being paid
in Aroofook today to the laborers on
the farm is 81 and $3.50 and board.
