Billy Geary had a bright idea. Well" he said, ''why not die-tem- porarily-if you feel that way about it.? You could come back from the grave after she's gone"
 But Mother Jenks shook her head ''No." she declared. "While Dolores is self-supportin' now, still, if anythink 'aDpened an she was to need 'elp, 'elp is somethin' no ghost can give Think again, Willie. Cor. lad, w'ere's yer hrains?"
 "Well," Billy countered thought fully, Apparently there's no way of heading her off before she takes the steamer at New Orleans. so we'll take it for granted she'n arrive here in due course. About the time she's due, suppose you run up to San Miguel de Padua for couple of weeks and leave me to run El Buen Amigo in your absence. Tll play fair with you, Mother, so help me. I'll account for every centavo. I'll borrow some de- cent clothes from Leber the day the steamer gets in: then I'll go aboard and look over the passenger list, and if she's aboard. Fll tell her you closed your house and started for California to visit her on the last north-bourd steamer-that her cablegram arrived just after you had started; that the cable company. knowing am friend of yours. showed me the message and that took it npOn myself to call and explain that as a result of your de- paruure for the United States it will be useless for her to land-useless and dangerous, because cholera is raging in Bueneventura. although the port authorities deny it."
 "Nl. s" Mother Jenks interrupted impressively, ghost of her old deb- onair spirit shining through her tears, "yer don't owe me a bloomin' slxpence! Nerve syved the day. syved my reputation. an syved lydy's peace O mind. Kiss me. yer precious byby."
 So Billy kissed her-gravely and with filia1 reverence. for he had long suspected Mother Jenks of being pearl cast before swine, and now he was certain of it.
 "Tll send her back to the United States and promise to cable you to await her there," Billy continued. Of course, we can't help if if you and the cablegram miss connections, and once the young lady Is back in the United States. dare say she'll have to stay there couple of years before she can save the price of another sea voyage. And in the meantime she may marry"
 Or that haneurism may lave turned the trick before that" Mother Jenks suggested candidly but joyously. "In course she'll be disappointed, but then disappointment never lays 'eavy on a young 'eart. Willie; an bein' disap- pointed at not seein' rerson you ain't really acquainted with ain't as bad as some disappointments."
 "1 guess I know" Billy Geary re- piled bitterly. "If that cablegram had only been for mel Mother, if my old partner could, by some miracle. man. age to marry this Dolores girl. your arteries and your aneurisms might bust and be damned. but the girl would be safe."
 "M'ybe," Mother Jenks suggested hopefully. 'yer might fix it up for her wen Pm gone. From all haccounts 'e's no-end gentleman"
 He's a he-man," MT. Geary de clared with conviction. He sighed. "John Stuart Webster, wherever you are. please write or cable," he mur- mured.

If your wheat grades very low, you

wheat should be worth $50 per
bushel for feed, particularly If there

not contain quite as much fattening
