Conflicting emotions surged with

Ny secret marriage! He knew
all about it," He could smile

while utterins words Of the grsvest

. How, had he heard? Or was it
guesswork? - -,
Tony had a fair modicum OF
brains. without cleverness he
couldn't have maintained his pleas

feeling OF relief that the truth was
coming out at last. Sooner or later
my marriage and its romantic lit

II wanted to acknowledge to the
whole world my overpowering love
for Jim.
But-the thought had power to

for my secreeyf

came back to him, ,ruthIessly
aroused by some csllous- word or
action-suppose Jim's newly awak-
ened love should turn to positive
dislike?
I'd read of cases OF that sort
before. With invalids-especially
where the brain was injured-one
had to be SO very. careful.
How awful then. IL Tony should
spread abroad the news that / was
already the wife OF Jim St Aubyns!
Such a contingency must be
avoided at any cost, told myself.
Therefore tried to meet Tony's
cruel. cynical gaze unhinchingly.
My attempted savoir-faire. how

PROFITS OF PACKERS,

We have several times had occasion
to note the efficiency Of the methods
Of business employed by the big pack
ing companies. These concerns have
for several years been almost contin-
uously under the fire OF criticism from
various sources, some OF which has
probably been deserved. But there has
not. TO our recollection. ever been made
a plausible showing whereby the sub
stitution Of different methods would
result in better service to the people.
And the crucial test ia one Of service.
In summary statement by Thomas
II. Wilson. at the Atlantic City conven-
ton. IL Ia shown the average margin OF
profit on each dollar Of sales for 1919
was less than one cent. Admitting the
truth OF this statement-and 1t has not
been disputed---it would be difficult to
improve on the situation. unless per-
chance wastefulness and inefficiency
can be discovered somewhere. And
those who have studied the methods OF
the packers believe It would not be easy
10 find any leaks or waste.
Perhaps the most frequent source OF
complaint against the packers IL that
they constitute n virtual monopoly OF
the American fresh meat trade. And
the average citizen does not look with
favor upon private monopolies. There
Is probably no parallel. however, for
the cheapness and efficiency OF their
service to the people. They transform
the livestock OF the producer into either
fresh or cured meats for the consumer
for a fraction of a cent n pound on
the finished product. i
In connection with his statement Mr.
