with an impatient gesture and an- other look at his watch. 'Wc hap pen to be catching train just now. Speaking of paying, of course we'll pay for our breakfast"
 Charles McSween dismissed the idea with a gesture and studied the pair with reflective eyes. Then he sighed.
 Tt ain't for me-" he said, to go fyin' into the face of an act of Providence. I'm a believer in meetin' Providence half way when she turns up card for you. I'm sorry-I'm plump sorry-that you. ma am, and your husband don't feel like you ought to stay. But we'll make it as pleasant for you as we can,and we won't keep you no longer than is necessary
 Sally arose to her feet with a gasp of surprise and sought the eyes of the Wreck. He was boring a glance in the direction of Charley McSween.
 Let me understand you" he said. Are you talking about keeping us here whether we want to stay or not? ?''
 That s the unfortunate idea" said the foreman, rcgretfully.
 The Wreck laughed neryously.
 "Youll be quite busy keeping us," he said. Come on, Sally"
 Charles McSween unlimbered him. self from his chair and stood up.
 "You don't get it all yet" he said. You don't either of you understand the workins of Providence. Now, it seems that when Providence fetched you here. and the lady proved that she could cook and the gentleman proved he could wash dishes and dry 'em. it wasn't for no ordinary human being to set himself up to say, No So l says to Providence, What are we gon' to do to persuade these young married folks to take hold of this here emergency job and see it through? ?' And Providence says, |
 Leave it to me-
 Now, it seems Providence knows | how to operate one of these fivvers. 1 So Providence takes that fiivver and | runs it down into one of the sheds. Havin' done that much, Providence conceives the idea of takin' off one of the front wheels, which is also done in workmanlike manner, with no damage to parts. Said wheel, havin' been removed from the shed, is hid elsewhere, nobody but Provi- dence knowin' where it was put"
 Charley McSween spread his hands with an eloquent gesture.
 Now you get an idea of the way Providence works" he said.
 The Wreck stepped to the door of the kitchen and looked out into tho yard. When he came back he was his spectacles.
 "I can lick you" he said to the foreman.
 No you don't" said Sally, as she stepped in front of him Not yet, at any rate. Mir. McSween, kindly eave the kitchen. We want to have ! little talk about things"
 Charley McSween moved hastily .oward the door.
 The cooks always boss in the 1itchen." he said.
 CHAPTER VII.
 In Lieu of Chinks
 The Wreck wanted to follow Char ey McSween outside, but Sally had , grip on his arm that he could not oosen without being rough. She ragged him to a chair pushed him nto it and stood guard.

Letter from Sally Atherton to Bca-
 trice Grinlshaw.

Of course, I didn't get a minute of time to say anything l wanted to you while you were here, Bee. dear. Sometimes I think that when any one writes as frankly and sincerely as you and to each other, friend ship of long standing is on safer ground than when one depends upon Hurried visits when so many other things have to come between.
 I'm quite sure you never have looked forward to something super latively blissful. I'm quite sure that in your sensible mind you have known that marriage Is really only a business partnership by which two people of presumably the same tastes and station in society, pledge themselves to help carry on the race. If you look for only this you will probably get much more.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHIPS
DIRECT TO FOREIGN PORTS

Detroit sent its first ship to a
distant foreign port Wednesday
afternoon, Nov. 5th, when the
Steamer Onondaga of the Ford
Motor Company's fleet sailed from
the River Rouge plant for Buenos
Aires, Argentina, South America.
1t carried a cargo of manufactured
automobile parts, the first the
kind ever exported direct from any
Great Lakes port" says j. A. Roth
man, Ford dealer in this city.
The Onondaga left the dock of
the Ford plant. at 1890 o'clock
nosed her way down the Rouge to
the Detroit river and then headed
out into the open water with
Montreal, Canada, as the first stop
of the voyage to the South Ameri-
can coast.
'In starting the Onondaga on its
voyage to South America, the Ford
Motor Company inaugurates its own
export and Atlantic Coast shipping
1t is new and noteworthy develop
ment in the automobile industry and
one in, which the Ford Company
with its own ships, uses the Great

POTATOES FOR CATTLE
FEED DISCUSSED

When potatoes are worth only
from 10 to 80 cents on the market,
what are they worth for feed on the
farm and especially for milk produc-
ton? We have fed great many
bushels of potatoes and believe that
in "a year like this it would pay to
feed good big third of the crop.
Market only the choicest potatoes.
Feed the rest. If all potato grow
ers would do this they could create
better, price in years of over pro-
duction.
To get at the feed value of pota-
toes, they. can best be compared
with ground barley or cornmeaI as
they are high in starch or carbo-
hydrates.
When fed in connection with clo-
yer or alfalfa hay, 100 pounds of
potatoes may be equal to 25 pounds
of ground barley for dairy cows.
This would be the very outside
value they are worth. With timothy
hay or fodder corn, they would have
less value as they are low in pro-
tein and need to be fed with feeds
high in protein.
Barley at the present time has a
market value of around ~ cents a
bushel or .$f.50 per- roe pounds. If
we give potatoes al fourth the feed
value of barley. we swould have to
say that potatoes, are worth 81 cents
per hundred when. barley is worth
II cents bushel. We believe they
are worth this much for fattening
pigs in comparison with barley and
corn. For milk production they
are worth close to 80 cents per
hundred compared with the price of
barley and corn Fs%
In comparison with bran at the
present price of bran Of $50 ton,
potatoes have not as high a milk
producing value as bran. For milk
production with. mixed hay, bran
may have from six to eight times
the value of potat es, but even then.
potatoes have a feed value of nearly
their present market value. Ger
tainly it will pay to, feed all second
grade potatoes to dairy cows with
butterfat worth 40 cents a pound.
Potatoes should. be fed only in
M derate amount to dairy cows as
they have tendency to produce an
inferior grade of butter. Not over
half a bushel day should be fed
per COW and then some grain or
piillfeed should be fed. in connection.
Potatoes should be fed raw to
cows. but cooked for pigs. Like
rutabagas that produce a .disagree-.
able flavor in milk if fed before
milking, potatoes are also, apt to and
should be fed after milking The
