 Hasn't yo' heard yit rum Mister Jin?' she asked sympathetically.
 Peggy shook her head.
 "No. Are you sure, Julia. the milk and cream were not left this morning from Echo Farm?"
 "Yassum; looked ebberywher an de onlies' think foun' was de Gle empty pails put out las night before Mister Jim done Jeff Has yo' tried telephonin?"
 "Yes, and I can't even raise the operator at East Cornwall"
 Peggy came farther into the room and picked up dishcloth.
 T believe the storm last night must have blown down some of the wires. Do you mind going after the mail?"
 NO, ma'am."
 Julia moved about the Kltcnen with more spryness than heretofore.
 why don yo' come, too, Miss Peggy?"
 Again Peggy shook her head. I'll finish the dishes" she announced; "dont stop to brink" an affection ate smile robbed the words of any sting, and she pushed Julia toward the closet where hung her hat and coat. And, eh, you might ask De- borah about the-eh-milk."
 Five minutes later Julia was hur- rying down Mohawk Lane.
 Peggy did not finger in wiping the remaining dishes and stayed in the kitchen only long enough to put them back in place in the cor ner cupboards. Once more in the living room she went over to her uncle's desk on which the two Bibles lay.
 Countless times since she had discovered the enigmatic under scored phrases With Jher pIacK ar rows on the margin had Peggy fin gered the pages of the musty Bible she had found in the basement.
 She had tried to discover the rea- son for the absence of the two pages that had been neatly cut out without success.
 Her eye fell on the small Bible which she had found in her uncle's desk. It was a handsome book with heavy flexible leather back and gold edges The fly leaf caught her eye and she read the name in- scribed thereon with int ere t- Martha Sinclair Prescott" Evi- dently the Bible had belonged to her uncle's wife.
 Just below the name was written in stylish penmanship: From her loving niece, Anne Sinclair Beale.' v The date followed: Christmas, 1912"

i floor WlUn . JIluQ. f1dQN JulIa told her about a Mrs. Beale?
 She turned her attention to the large Bible. It took her some moments to find the pages filled with genealogical data-at the very bottom of the vital statistics was the last entry in her uncle's hand writing
 Martha, beloved wife of Herbert Prescott, died in Paris, January IS, 1913" while above it, in cramped lettering, entirely different from her uncle's writing, was the terse statement: Married, in Paris, Anne Sinclair, my niece, to Julian Beale, of Mount Holly, Warren County, Virginia, November 15, 1912"
 Peggy sitting in the large over stuffed chair bowed her head and tears came to her eyes.
 Then Anne Sinclair, her uncle's niece, was the woman whose life had been ruined by Stanton! She, Peggy Prescott, all unknow- ingly, had avenged Anne.
 Peggy closed her eyes in thought. She must have been nine years of age when the sordid marital trag- edy happened She was certain that her mother had never alluded to Anne Sinclair. She doubted if her mother realized that Anne Beale was connected by marriage.
 Peggy's head ached with an in- tolerable, hr 0 b bing g pain. She wished Julia would hurry back; above all she longed for Jim. To pour out in his sympathetic ear all her doubts and fears-ah, if he would only comel
 The at-a-tap-tap of the brass knocker on the front door brought her to her feet with rapidly beat ing heart. A glance in the old Sheraton mirror on the wall con- vinced her that her pretty hair was becomingly arranged even while she was dabbing powder and rouge on her cheeks. Jim must not find her with white cheeks-why, he might think she had grown old and wrin- kled over nightl
 As Peggy swung open the front door she grew sick with disappoint- ment. The man confronting her, visiting card in hand, was not Jim. Swiftly she struggled to recover herself and give no inkling of her feelings.
 Come in, Mir. Chase" she ex- claimed cordially; then, taking an- other and more comprehensive look at him and his clothes of fashion able cut, and seeing the extended visiting card: "Oh, it's

 You and MT. Aquila are as alike as two peas" said Peggy looking at him with deep interest. T never saw such a marvellous likeness!'
 Like comic strip" he smiled. He clasped his hands together with slight slap and rubbed them up and down. How are you making out, that's the question:"
 There was certain hard note in his voice, belied however, by his kindly expression, and Peggy hesi- tatcd in some confusion.

GRADE SCHOOL
 IS PRESENTING
 GOODOPERETTA

The first performance of the operetta Gross Patch Fairies" pre- sented by the pupils of the Juneau Public School at a matinee yester- day afternoon in ElkS Hall, went over big, judging from the applause the participants received. The matinee was for the children of the school but many adults also at tended. Tonight at SIS o'clock in Elks Hall, the real public per- formance will be given. With the operetta, various musical organiza- ticns of the Public and High School appear on the program. One of the main features of the big entertain ment is the large cast, more stu dents taking part than in any pre- vious production given by the Ju- neau Schools. There are 135 pu- pills, including the Glee Clubs, par ticipating
 The story of Gross Patch Fair ies, is about Carol, little girl who does not like picture books, Santa Claus and not even Chrlstmas-or thinks she doesn't. She refuses to hang up her stocking on Christmas Eve with the other children, but she is sorry for this when the Cross Patch Fairies come and take her off to their cavern.
 In act II. the audience gets Q glimpse of Santa Claus workshop at the North Pole The Elves, Santa Claus helpers, are busy making toys. The shelves about the room are filled with dolls, toy ami mals and candy canes. Santa is condoling with his wife over the money they lost on a lollypop farm and the high price of hay for his reindeer. He opines an airplane would be cheaper.
 Characters from the picture book come in to be photographed-Jack and Jill, Boy Blue, Bo Peep, Mis- tress Mary and Bobby Shaftoe. The Gross Patch Fairies" enter with Caro-, the Cross Patch, and i'm mediately the Picture Book People begin to quarrel. The Elves go on a strike, refusing to make more toys, and everything is topsyturvey. Captain Splinter comes with his Tovlsnd Soldiers and threatens to lock the Cro3s Patch in the dun geons of Old King Coles Castle, but she says she is sorry for tearing up the picture book and she is allowed to go home again, and everything ends happily.
 There is good solo singing by Inga Lindstrom, who takes the part of Sister Sue, also by Patricia Har- land. who plays Carol, and Tom Redlingshafer, the Sant Claus. Among the leading musical numbers are "The Cross Patch Fairies" "The Toyland Brigade" and "The Sunny Smile Fairies"
 Chorus singing by the cast and the High School Glee Clubs was delightful, as was the overture, and between acts, music by the Little Symphony Orchestra u der Miss Fisher.

 My dear child" Chase touched her gently, sypathetically on the shoulder What you did was in protection of your home; a far greater tragedy might have hap pened if Stanton had gained undis- puted entrance-he was not good man-one can only surmise-"
 Peggy crimsoned to the roots of her hair. Chase was presenting a viewpoint that had never entered her head.
 You need not fear a fair trial continued Chase; mo jury will con- vict you"
 T haven't asked you to sit down, evenl" she exclaimed. Not to mention offering you a cup of tea"
 NO, not a chair" he protested as she indicated one near her uncle's desk. Let me roam around, if you don't mind; a nervous habit of mine"
 Chase whirled about as he spoke and strode up and down the living room, taking in it's handsome and unusual furnishings.
 "Your uncle spent a lot of money on this place" he said, coming to pause by the side of her chair. Tt represents much capital invested in an inaccessible spot"
 "Oh, it's very beautiful-the sur rounding country"
 With little or no market value" He temporized his sweeping con- demnation with a friendly smile. That is only the point of view Of a confirmed New Yorker and not to be taken seriously by Connecti- cut Yankee"
 I'm a Virginian, transpianted, 1" she protested quickly, but I love the Connecticut Hills; perhaps be- cause my fathers people came from here"
 Just so."
 Chase spoke absently, his atten- tion still claimed by first one hand some piece of furniture and then another. Again he paced the room, this time to examine a painting on the wall.
 "A genuine Corot," he exclaimed; my word, you have some treas ures here"
 He pointed to mahogany chair. That I know was copied from one in the Metropolitan museum; but these other things" waving his hand with a sweeping gesture to include most of the room, MT Prescott combed Europe for some of them"
 That's very interesting" com mented Peggy. T am glad to know something about the articles in this room-the whole house is filled with beautiful paintings, fur niture and tapestry"
 Good" re ..Chase dropped unceremoniously into seat next to her.
 My dear child, I am stressing the value of these belongings of yours because" he hesitated, well, frankly, because I have bad news for you"
 Peggy half arose.
 My father?" she faltered. What of him?"
 Nothing; don't mean that kind of news" Chase cleared his throat. Now, sit down, please, and keep calm"
 T will but please go on."

DEMAND SPREADS

Sweden Removes Duty on
0ranges-Other Countries
Increase Orders.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

WINTER HAVEN. Fla, November A.
Florida fruit is gaining such popularity
In certain European countries as to
merit serious governmental and COM
merclal attention. Sweden, for eX-
ample, this year enacted legislation re-
moving the duty of 10 cents a box on
Florida oranges. According to report
OF the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, the step was taken upon
the advice of the Swedish medical au-
thorities, who are encouraging greater
consumption of citrus fruits.
The Florida Citrus Growers Clear
ing House Association has just been ad-
vised that the South Atlantic Steam
ship Line has materially increased its
citrus fruit refrigeration accommoda-
tions for the expectation of oranges and
grapefruit to Liverpool. Demand for
grapefruit has been steadily increasing
in England for several years. The cost
is much higher than in this country
and the smaller sizes are mostly in de-
mand. In that country, too, prominent
physicians are urging the people to eat
more citrus fruits.
In some of the exclusive resorts of
Northern Europe last year Florida
grapefruit found a ready market at
box, which means that the table charge
for half grapefruit was often we'll in
excess of the equivalent of an Ameri-
can dollar.
To date the bulk of the 1000. 600
| boxes of grapefruit and oranges which
nave been shipped out of Florida since
last month has been sold in the mar
kets OF New York, Philadelphia, Boston

LONG DELAYS CERTAIN
IN STOCK DELIVERIES
Shortage Of Blanks May Keep
Buyers Waiting for Next
Six Weeks.

Howard B. Smith, chairman o. the
New York Stock Transfer Association,
predicts some long delays in the de-
livery of stock certificates. The reason,
of course, is the appalling number of
transfers to be made following last
weeks panicky trading, making it simply
impossible to enforce the 48-hour rule.
Most stocks are deliverey in 100-share
lots. Then If there are hundreds of
small orders these certificates have to
be split to NEE the odd-lot requirements.
This requires the making out of new
certificates with the names of the new
owners, an almost endless amount Of
work being involved under present
conditions
Big corporations always keep a large
quantity of blank stock certificates on
hand. In many instances this supply
has been exhausted. This unusual con-
dition means a delay for printing. So
serious is the situation that one local
investment banker said today that he
believed some of the stock bought last
week could not be delivered for six
weeks.
