ARE IMITATION BLUE POINTS
Oyster Family Not Really Taken
From Famous Beds.

Ii has been computed that six bar.
rels Of Blue Point oysters are ordered
and eaten for every barrel taken from
the Great South bay, In Suffolk cOun-
ty, New York. About 10000 acres In
the bottom Of Great South bay are un.
der oyster cultivation, and Blue Points
now come from many other places
along the Atlantic coast. Even those
that are taken from the waters OF
Great South bay are not the Blue
Points which made that name famous
considerably more than Il century ago,
but are descendants of Virginia oys-
tiers, which were planted in Great
South bay many years ago, md which
probably came from Chesapeake bay,
Nearly a century agO-that is, about
1925, oysters in the waters which
were the home of Blue Points, be.
"ame so scarce and costly that they
were worth five cents apiece, which
was a s%candalous price for oysters at
that time. Those old-fashioned Blue
Points were not small oysters with
comparatively smooth shells, but were
OF giant size, more like those we call
Saddle Rocks or Tangier selects"
Finally the Blue Point oyster bottoms
became barren. After this condition
had prevailed for a number Of years.
1t was determined to restore the Great
South bay oyster industry. and boat
loads Of seed oysters were taken from
old Virginia and put overheard. Their
descendants are there today, yet even
they are able to furnish only a small
proportion of the Blue Points that m
ordered.

When his optimistic attorney had
gone, Dale glanced once more at the
TO him miserable line from Dante's
Inferno" and began to remove his
outer clothing preparatory to going to
bed. He did not feel anything like so
confident concerning the outcome Of
his trial as Major Bradley evidently
felt. Then he became ever more
detected, and he told himself that the
major had spoken SO reassurlngly
merely to help him keep up heart.
The night passed, and another bright
summer day dawned. and In the Car
tersville jail there was one prisoner
who had not slept at all. Each of
those long and heavy black hours had
been an age to this prisoner to whom
jail was so new.

Dale thanked Bradley. and turned
away with the officer. They walked a
short block and entered "A low. square

the windows were small and high and
barred with iron. Dale knew that IL
was the Gainesville Jail. and his heart
sank in spite Of him. Just as death

him.
Flowers took a ring Of heavy keys

the way down a whitewashed corridor.
