that some merchants are paying
So cents cash and 55 in trade.
There is a pretty fair supply on
the market and held by dealers
who are paying from so to 52
cents.
Buying prices of turkeys are
as follows: Live 2S and 80 cents,
dressed IS and 81. These prices
will prevail up to Christmas with
little prospect of an advance.
There are no offerings at pres

special order.
Vicar of Wakefield pears. good
both for eating and cooking, can
be purchased for $1.25 a bushel
box. They are in good condition.
Oregon chestnuts, very fancy quail
ity. are offered at 20 cents a

"Never mind. She'll dance

to take her off in the corner and
teach her. She Is the kind OF
girl that dances naturally. Why
she could learn to dance and beat
out Florence Walton in six
months.

they might OF premeditated or

have never murdered any one
and what is puzzling a large

"There they are waiting for us"

so nervous that did not catch the

and moving over to me, she said /;
Buck up, Virgie. Buck up. It's

We moved forward to the en-
trance of the Cocoanut Grove and
stood just inside waiting mo-
ment for something. At the time
II thought that Herbert Richard
son was doing this to make. his
party conspicuous but l found out
afterward that he was waiting
for the head waiter to show him
his table.
MY eyes had never rested upon
such scene. My imagination
had never drawn one. The room
was a riot of color. We walked
over green grass mats wAile
everywhere were the leaves OF
the Cocoanut palm. The ceiling
was draped in brilliant orange
Tha affect was startling espe-
cially as all around the sides OF
the room, women in evening dress
were seated about tables placed
in tiers. 1t seemed to me that
IL was the most beautiful sight

one looked happy. The men
were smiling and the atmosphere
Of the room was heavy with tns
mingled scent Of rich food ana
perfume.
We were piloted to the most
conspicuous table In the room
To reach It we had to weave our
way among innumerable tan-es
and at almost everyone, Mr'
richardson bowed In passing.
Many of them called to Rea or
others in the group and felt
Iinuuisitive glances turned toward
me.
Our table was elaboratsly de-
corated with flowers and pesiae

an empty tumbler at each place
AS Ria sat down | saw her
frown. She was seated at the
left OF Mr.. Richardson. He had
placed me at his right. 7 could
not object to this because It was
his party. 1 heard Ria say ITO
him: ssYou know. Herb. l will
not stand for any pocket flask
business. You must either tell
the waiter to take those fglasses
off the table or l will"
Say, is this your party or
mine?''
