Mir. Sprouse Abandons Literature at
 an Early Hour in the Morning.
 After thrashing about in his bed for seven sleepless hours, Barnes arose and gloomily breakfasted alone. He was not discouraged over his failure to arrive at anything tangible in the shape of plan of action. It was in- conceivable that he should not be able in very short order to bring about the release of the fair guest of Green Fancy. There was not the slightest doubt in his mind that international affairs of considerable importance were involved and that the agents op- erating at Green Fancy were under definite orders.
 MT. Sprouse came into the dining room as he was taking his last swal- low of coffee.
 "Ah, good morning" was the bland little mans greeting. Up with the lark, I see. Mind if I sit down here and have my eggs?" He pulled out chair opposite Barnes and coolly sat down at the table.
 ''You can't sell me q set of Dickens at this hour of the day" said Barnes sourly. Besides, I've finished my breakfast. Keep your seat" He start ed to rise.
 'Sit down." said Sprouse quietly. Something in the mans voice and man. ner struck Barnes as oddly compelling. He hesitated second and then re- sumed his seat. i've been inves' gating you, MT. Barnes" said the lit man, unsmilingly. Don't get scon There are lot of things that you dol a know, and one of them is that I ddrs. sell books for living. It's somethi ir of side line with me" He leanrs forward. T shall be quite frank WI ,,, you, sir. I am a secret service ma. Yesterday went through your effect. upstairs, and last night took the lib erty of spying upon you, so to speak, while you were a guest at Green Fancy"

goodness of potted meats depends upon the pounding and seasoning. If carefully prepared and put away they will keep for long time and will be found most helpful in preparing emer- gency dishes.
 Potted Chicken.-Take cold roast chicken, rejecting the skin and sin ews, chop fine and to every pint allow a half cupful of chopped ham or tongue. Put the bones of the chicken into a saucepan, add a pint of cold wa ter and simmer until there is half pint of stock: strain and remove the fat. Pound the chicken ham or tongue to smooth paste. An old-fashioned mortar and pestle Is used for this, or 1t may be ground through the meat chopper until fine. Then pound, add little of the broth to thicken; sea son with cayenne, nutmeg and a ta- blespoonfui of butter. Put into small jars and press down tightly, cover with a cloth, and cover the cloth with a paste made of flour and water, and bake In moderate oven one-half hour, the jars standing in water. Take out, remove the cover and pour melted but ter over the meat. Tie with paper nmistened with white of egg and keep in cool, dry place. This will keep for months, and makes an ideal hot weather dish Fresh beef's tongue. cold roast veal, boiled or roast nut ton, ham and smoked tongue may all be potted Tn the same manner.
 Potted Fish.--Pick cold, cooked fish to pieces, season with salt. pepper and a little mace, then put into jar, tie tightly with piece of muslin, cover with four paste, stand the jar in wa ter and bake one hour In moderate oven. When done and cold, pound the fish to paste, pack in the jars and cover with melted butter.

machine when it comes, an if I keer to stay on as washer in his place she'll be glad to have me. I says I'd like to have word with Mir. Curtis, if she don't mind, an she says MT. Curtis ain't able to see no one. So guess I'm goin' to be let out"
 An idea was taking root in Barnes brain, but it was too soon to consider it fixed.
 You say Mr. Loeb is new at his job?"
 Well, he's new up here Mir. Cur tis was down to New York all last winter bein treated. you see. He didn't come up here till about five weeks ago Loeb was workin fer him most of the winter, gittin' up a book CT somethin', hear. Mir. Curtis mind is all right. guess, even if his body ain't."
 q see. Mir. Loeb came up with him from New York"
 ''Kerect. Him and Mir. O'Dowd and Mir. De Soto brought him up bout the last O March. They was up here vis- itin' last spring an the fall before Mir. Curtis is very fond of both of 'em."
 Tt seems to me that I have heard that his son married O'Dowd's sister,"
 That's right. She's widder now. Her husband was killed in the war between Turkey an them other coun- tries four CT five years ago."
 "Really?"
 Yep. Him and MT. ODowd-his own brother-in-law, y know-was f1ghtin' on the side of the Boolgarians and young Ashley Curtis was killed"
 Was this son Mir. Curtis only child?"
 "So fer as know. He left three lit- tie kids. They was all here with their mother jest after the house was fin- ished.''
 "They will probably come into this property when Mir. Curtis dies,' said

 "More'n likely"
 "Was he very feeble when you saw him last?"
 'I ain't seen him in more'n six months. He was failin' then. That's why he went to the city"
 "Oh, I see. You did not see him when he arrived the last of March?"
 'I was visitin' my sister up in Horn vile when he come back unexpected like. This ijiot Loeb says he wrote me to meet 'em at Spanish Falls but never got the letter. Like as not the durn fool got the address wrong. I didn't know Mir.

 Tt sure is. Seems like he'll never be able to walk ag'in. I was talkin' to his nurse only the other day. He says it's a hopeless case"
 Fortunately his sister can be here with him."
 By gosh, she ain't nothin' like him." confided Peter. "She's all fuss an feathers an he is jest as simple as you CT me. Nothin' fluffy about him, c'n tell ye" He sighed deeply.

 Long before they came to the turn pike, Barnes had reduced his hundred and one suppositions to the following concrete conclusion: Green Fancy was no longer In the hands of it's orig inal owner for the good and sufficient reason that MT. Curtis was dead. The real master of the house was the man known as Loeb. Through O'Dowd he had leased the property from the wid- owed daughter-in-law, and had estab- lished himself there. surrounded by trustworthy henchmen, for the purpose

 A handful of raisins added to d. most any fruit salad adds to it's flavor and richness.
 For q toothache one of the pleasant remedies is split raisin, sprinkled with few grains Of cayenne; press the pieces together and place the raisin on the gum nearest the tooth. 4 hot raisin Is said to cure earache.
 Apples Stuffed With Raisins.---Wa core and remove the pulp from dozen smooth, firm apples Put through the meat chopper two cupfnls of the apple removed, and two cupfnls of seeded raisins; add one tablespoonful of lemon juice Stuff the apples with this mix lure and place them In a greased bak- ing pan. Into sauce pan put cup fui each of water and corn slrup add a tablespoonful of butter and boil for five minutes. Pour this sauce over the apples and bake until they are tender. Serve either hot or cold.
 Raisin Pancakes.--Beat the yolks Of three eggs, add two cupfuls of milk (sour), two tablespoonfuls of melted fat, three cupfuls of four, teaspoon~ full of salt and one teaspoonful of soda. Beat well, then add one cupful of seed- less raisins and@oId in the stiffiy beat en whites Cook on hot griddIe and serve with maple sirup or honey.

He did his best, however. and, despite hts eagerness, managed to come of fairly well. Anyone out of earshot would have thought that he was uttering some trifling inanity in stead of these words:

Silks

Wholesale sellers of silk goods last
week advanced prices as much as 25
cents-about 10 per centa yard under
the pressure of heavy demand from the
retailers of the country and in keep
ing with the rise in raw silks. Novelty
silks, taffetas, foulards and the crepe
weaves were among the fabrics most
actively sought by the retailers, who
focked to the market in greater num-
bers than usual. Reports from the re-
tail trade indicate that the business in
yard goods is far ahead of last year,
thus proving the contention that wom-
en- are buying material and either
making their own clothes or having
them made for them, more than they
are purchasing ready made garments.
Active trading and the boosting Of
prices of raw silk in Yokohama sent
prices of the raw product here up
about 25 cents pound. Sinshui No. /
was quoted here at S11.40 and Kansai,
double extra, at 1920 pound al
though most of the sales were made at
10 to Is cents under this figure Mills
are buying sparingly at these prices,
and even dealers say the prices are too
high for comfort. Most of the mills
say they will stay out of the market
until the first Of the year, as they
have sufficient raw product to run them
until that time. The European mar
kets in raw silks stiffened, with French
and Americans buyers active.
New-York tribune., 1919-10-27
Cotton Goods

Increasing demands for all classes
of cotton goods, with corresponding
advances in prices, were noted last
week. Producers of bleached and COL
ored goods announced new prices,
which in some cases were as much as
. per cent above old levels. The ad-
vances did not check buying Spring
production was sold almost as fast as
it was offered. Ginghams and printed
percales for both immediate and fu-
ture use appeared to be scarce. Fine
combed yarn goods were in brisk de-
mand. A growing export demand was
noted, especially in coarse goods for
shipment to the Far East. Retailers
and jobbers apparently have abandoned
the policy of waiting for lower prices
and all factors in the trade seem will
ing to do business, running we'll into
next spring at the high prices now
prevailing.
Trading in gray, or unfinished goods,
was active during the week, and some
converters and printers bid as high as
1919 cents for the standard construc-
tion k lown as $3.50. 3Sl2 inches wide.
This was quarter cent above last
weeks bids. Considerable business at
1S cents was done in these fabrics for
delivery as late as next April.
New-York tribune., 1919-10-27
.Jewelry

Unprecedented buying of precious
stones, jcwelry Of all kinds and sill
verware has placed the jewelry indus
try on an exceptionally strong financial
basis. Both the large wholesale
jewelry houses and dealers in gems
report prompt payment by retailers,
who continue to transact q lively cash
business in all parts of the country.
With accounts thus cleaning up rap
idly, manufacturers claim that they
are able to face the continued jewelry
workers strike indefinitely.
Buying of silver and gold for the
manufacture of jewelry and silverware
continues heavy, and the demand for
platinum is far greater than the sup
ply. Limited amounts of this precious
metal are seen in the jewelry market
from time to time, but as the demand
is so great unheard of prices are be-
ing asked by few spectators who
have cornered some supplies Of plat
mum. Several of the large platinum
dealing houses report that their prices
have advanced only moderately. with
some supplies of the metal to be had
for from $135 to $3.50 an ounce instead
of the reported $175 an ounce scale.
