Stand WASHING.

A cloth of plain weave shows soil
quickly, but If it Is firmly woven it
stands rubbing well and the dirt Is
easily removed by washing. On the
other hand, loosely woven plain cloth
must not be rubbed hard and must be
carefully handled in drying so that
the threads will not be pulled out of
place.
ID A twilled cloth does not show soil as
readily as plain, but it seems to hold
the dirt more tenaciously. Materials
of satin weaves do not stand friction
as well as those of plain weave.
Fancy. part gauze and part solid
goods of the so-called leno weave not
only stand very little friction, but
when washed must be carefully pulled
and stretched while drying to have the
goods keep it's original shape and size.
Loosely woven materials of all kinds
have greater absorption powers than
the closely woven varieties; this means
less bluing for the loosely woven goods.
These are suggestions made by home
economics experts in the department
of agriculture.

''The feller that can guess 1t two days

market price of cranberries." When
Caroline. Sylvester and the captain
reached South Denboro after what
seemed, to the two unused to the
leisurely winter schedule of the rail-
road, an interminable journey from
Fall River, the girl thought she had
never seen more gloomy sky or a
more forbidding scene.
But she kept her feelings hidden on
her uncle's account. The captain was
probably the happiest individual in the
state Of Massachusetts that morning.
He hailed the trains approach to Sand
wich as the entrance to Osta Bile coun.
ty, the promised land, and from that
station on excitedly pointed out IA
miliar landmarks and bits Of scenery
and buildings with the gusto and en-
thusiasm Of a schoolboy.
At Denboro he pointed out Pete Shat
tuck's livery stable, where the horse
and buggy came from which had been
the means OF transporting Graves and
himself to South Denboro.
See" he cried. "See that feller

"And you are our own folks, amt your"
Captain Elisha and Sylvester sat with
them, and the big fireplace in the sit
ting room blazed and roared as it had
not since its owner left for his long
sojourn in the city.
Caroline's mind was busy with the
suspicion which her uncle's words con-
cerning his future plans for Steve had
aroused. She had thought Of little
else since she heard them. The cap
tain did not mention the subject again.
Possibly on reflection he decided that
he had already said too much. And
she asked no more questions. She de-
termined not to question him-yet.
She must think first and then ask
some one else-Sylvester.
Her opportunity came the following
morning, the day before Thanksgiving.

"Yes."
"Into the hands of the man who took

Yes; the same hands," with a sly
smile at his own private joke.
Then how does it happen that my

The lawyer smiled no more. He
turned in his chair and gazed quickly
and keenly at the young lady beside
him. And her gaze was just as keen
as his own.
"Why! Has he?"
Yes. And I think you know he

but she was in his path and looking

have been so blind?" ;
The lawyer, nervous chagrined and
greatly troubled, remained standing by
the door. He did not know whether
