CHAPTER xXXIX
The Will

Joyce looked from the dying wo
man who was now smiling family
at her to Judge Perkins.
He was looking at her with grave
announcement. 'You will make no
mistake in giving your promise" he
said kindly.
Joyce pressed Mrs. Maltby's hand.
whatever / can promise that will
make you happier" she said, Il will
promise"
4 '"rhen accept without question the
news that my old friend, Robert
Perkins, will give you when l am
rome" came the feeble request.
Joyce leaned forward and kissed
Mrs. Maltby's forehead. Il promise,
gladly" she said.
u Mrs. Maltby shut her eyes. She

hand in hers, saying nothing. Then
her mind began to wander again.
she spoke the names of her dead
husband, of her son with whom she
had buried so many hopes. Pres
entity the doctor arrived. He shook
his head and motioned Joyce and
the Judge from the room.
Half AN hour later he came to
them in the sitting room, where
they were waiting for news.
"She died peacefully n few mo-
nnents ago." he said.
Joyce hid her face in her arms and
hogan to cry. Judge Perkins came
over and patted her shoulder. He
said nothing. His own face was
twisted with grief. He had liked
and admired this woman Of steel
purpose and sorrowful life for many
years. He, as well as Joyce. had
lost friend.
i The doctor left them alone. 1t was
nearly midnight. Finally, the judge
spoke. ga ~
at has been Il hard evening for
you, my dear" he said. "They have
prepared room for you for tonight.
suppose you &c and get some rest.
We can talk of Mrs. Maltby's,
EvanEeline's last request to you, in
the morning.
Joyce went without question to
the room made ready for her. 1t
was huge, filled with heavy old
fashioned furniture, bare of human
suggestions. She drank the hot
milk the maid brought her CRATE
fully, then undressed and crept into
tho high old walnut our poster.
Before she slept s.es tried to real
ise that her morning hours OF read
ing and talk with this woman who
had come SO strangely into her life
were over. They had come very
close to each other, those last
months. AS nearly as it was pos
sible, Mrs. Maltby had taken the
place of her mother. Now this
friend was taken from her, and she
longed again for the quiet ordinary
life Of her old home.
The sun walked her in the morn
ing. Faint hints of spring showed
in the swelling buds of the trees
outside tho window. A maid tapped
softly and came in with a tray of
toast and coffee, which she placed
ON q small table by Joyce's bed. On
the tray lay q morning paper. Joyce
glanced at it as she slipped her COT
fee. A headline on the front page
attracted her.

There followed n brief account of

was made several times of her large

the drawing room. Judge Perkins
was warming his hands before
small fire. He turned to wish her
good morning.

asked kindly.

A N old English recipe for hare
"A pie begins with the instruction,
First catch your hare" and we
know from experience that this is
the. first prerequisite for making
coffee. First get good coffee" 1t
used to be the housekeeper's
province to select the proper blend
from her grocer, but today coffee
blending is an art so well learned
that the, average housekeeper
might well take advantage of the
blenders superior knowledge. Bulk
coffee can offer her no better flavor
or more uniform cup quality than
can be found in branded goods put
up in air-tight containers. Princi.
pally all the coffee sold today Is a
blend of from three to five different
kinds of beans, the two principal
ones being Bogota, which has sup
planted the old Java, and Santos,
which has taken the place of
Mocha. The highest grade of these
two coffees makes just as excellent
a drink as the genuine Mocha and
Java. In fact, here at the Insti-
tute, several members of the staff
preferred fifty-fifty blend Of high.
grade Bogota and Santos to a SINH.
lar blend Of genuine Mocha and
Java.
There was formerly a great deal
of deception and misunderstanding
in the buying and selling Of coffee;
not only in mixing in low grade
imperfect and otherwise undesirable
profit, but also in the marketing
of good qualities under titles to
which they had no right. Since
the passage of the Federal pure
food law, this misbranding has been
entirely eliminated. The law has
been most vigorously enforced and
a severe penalty is dealt out to any
person who disregards it's exactions.
This has proved to be a great
benefit to the coffee industry, and
most Of the coffee sold today is of
a good quality well and Clearly pre-.
pared.
For many weeks the Institute
has been making an extensive and
first-hand study of the question Of
good coffee. With expert assist.
ance, we have even been roasting
and blending every conceivable
type of coffee. We have also cup
tested practically all the well.known
brands on the market and we have
come to one big general conclusion.
1t is this: coffee. to be good, must
be fresh, and to keep it fresh it
must be kept in sealed alright
containers, until it goes into the
pot"
Coffee, we are told, is very cas-.
lily affected by climatic conditions
and environment. BY environment,
we mean that coffee readily absorbs
the odor of any material near it.
Stories have come to us of ship
ments of good coffee which have
been spoiled by shipping them in the
same vessel with hides or rubber.
Besides absorbing odors, roasted
coffee begins to give up Its own
