QUALITY is URGENT FACTOR
Striking Example Furnished by Ken
tuckian, Who Markets Eggs,
Poultry and Fruit.

An example of the part that quality
plays in a business of direct marketing
Of farm produce is furnished by the OK
perience of a man in Kentucky who
markets eggs, dressed poultry, meats
and fruits to consumers in Nashville.
Tenn.
The business was established over
two years ago by obtaining a friend
as the first customer. From this mod
est beginning the producer has o.
tanned sufficient customers to buy all
of the high-grade produce he a SUD-
ply. Most of the shipments are made
by parcel post.
This business is conducted on the
basis of high quality with adequate re-
turns, says the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. Customers are
selected with as much a l. as most
consumers show in selecting a uFo-
Queer from whom to buy farm produce.
Customers are retained by never
breaking the rule to supply only the
best produce raised on his W farm.
If, when an order is obtained. this
farmer does not have produce Of the
highest quality. he informs the custom
er aud states that unless otherwise In.
structed the produce win be shipped
ut mo earliest possible date.

stepped off solid rock. Now we go to
the stream yonder, and then wade up
through the water. There will be no
trail. Let US not wait, senior"
The man followed without q word,
touching her with one hand in guild
ancc. They were upon a crest Of solid
rock, worn smooth by the ages, and so
advanced unchecked for a hundred
feet, until the ridge suddenly termi-
mated at the bank of a narrow stream.
A single step, and both were standing
in the water. and she had grasped his
hand.
"Eet is swift. but not Deep" she
said confidently. 81 have waded eet
many q time. We must hurry"
He took the bag Of provisions and
swung it across one shoulder and to-
gether they began blowing their way
through the downward rush of water.
1t was tiresome. but they plunged
steadily forward, finding the bottom
firm. Shelby did not know how far
they advanced, nor could he tell. in
the darkness. the exact nature Of their
surroundings. His impression was
that they were penetrating a narrow
side ravine, between great overshad-
owing masses Of ~outcropping stone,
which intensified the gloom. Every
step took them higher above the floor
of the Hole, and, at times the stream
became a veritable torrent, against
which they scarcely could make prog
ress. The girl kept close to the rocks
on the right, and struggled forward
bravely,' loosening her grasp on
his hand. Meeting as he must the
stronger sweep of the current, Shelby
felt the strain, and vas glad when she
finally came to a halt.
"Eet's here" she said, "a few steps
more. and l leave you. The greatest
danger is my not getting back In
time"
There was an opening in the solid
rock Of the wall, a mere c~revice. so
concealed by tangled s%hrubbery as to
be invisible eve in daylight. How she
had recognized the spot in that dark
ness was a mystery through the sense
Of feeling probably, for her hands in
stantly parted the interlaced branches,
and she crept through them with Shell
by, on his hands and knees, close be-
hind. They emerged into q gulch, as
though some giant AK Of the gods had
cleaved the very face Of the cliff, a
g''lch dry, scarcely four feet in width,
rock walled on either side, and almost
a tunnel because of stunted growth.
h dwarf oaks had found some
lodgment in cracks and crevices. Pan

b e exertion of the climb.

but, senior, why she go away if she

HE not tell eet to me like that; he
say she want to marry heem, an not

Shelby laughed softly.

"He marry her?"
"That's his game. no doubt, if it
works. If not, he'll evolve some other.
I don't think he gives a S how it's
done, so he gets it-he and his pre-
ciOus father"
She stared at him with lips
parted.

by the violence of her passion, "yet
how is that to be done?".
She glanced ap~prehensively behind,
still clinging tightly to her perch. low

cautious whisper.

that the girl leaned suddenly against
the wall, her face white, her eyes
staring toward him, and that Juan
was leaning forward across the table,
with cleaning teeth exposed, He was
calm enough himself. however, for he
had imagined this unpleasant discov-
cry might be made and was not en-
tirely unprepared to meet it.
"What brand?" he asked coolly.
"You mean the Three StarsY"
"That's exactly what I mean, pard-
ner. 7 happen to know where that

"Then you know more than ! do,
Laud. I bought the pony from a liv-
cry mar at Gerlasche to ride out here
on; some bucker, at that. Say, come
to think about it, those cows you were
driving in were Three Stars"
"That is just what they we're. most
O. them. That's what struck me as
d-n funny. Those cattle com from
up on the Cottonwood; they belonged
to a Teller named Shelby"
"You run 'em off?'
That's none O. your d-n business.
That's where they came from, an
Shelby's dead. But what I'm inter-
ested in is how the HI you got his
horse"
He dropped his gun down on the
table and stared across into Shelby's
imperturbable face with hard, threat
ening V
Nov you look here, young fellow,

Indian Joe Laud talkin' to you. May

from the start. but I'll give yer a
chance to prove it. I amt goin' fer

I'll see what Matt Hanley has to say,
but till that time yere goin' to be lock-

"Not the least"
"All right, then. Juan, you take the
gents gun; he's better off without it.
That's right; nov feel him I'VE an
see if he's got any other weapons.
Better stand up, Churchill"
The ranchman, comprehending the
utter futility of any attempt at resist
ance, did as he was told, managing to
retain the same cool smile on his lips.
The murderOus eyes of the squaw-
man never once deserted his face and
Shelby realized that the slightest symp-
tom of t%reachery would prove his un-
doing. Laud was in no mood to be
argued with.
Nice of you to wait until after I'd
eaten" he said easily. 'It will give
me a comfortable nights rest
"Glad you take it that way. Clean

Laud took a step forward and
glanced into the apartment. The swift
scrutiny apparently satisfied him, for
he turned to the prisoner, his revolver

action.
