MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 10. After the Government completed its case intended to show that Mrs. Genevieve A. Clark, member of the jury at the recent trial of w. B .Foshay and six associates, charged with alleged mail frauds, and who refused to agree to a ver- dict with eleven men, was a for mer Foshay employee. the hearing against the woman was adjourned late yesterday until November 19.

of painting the floor. She had all ready covered more than half of its broad-boarded surface, using bright, mustard yellow paint. She felt that it should be effective when finished, but effective or not it gave her something to do. It had prevented her, so far, from think ing.
 She dipped her brush into the paint and smiled, thinking of Wally. Poor Wally had been dumb founded. Probably he thought she was utterly insane, and perhaps he was right. Fourth would probably think she was insane, too, when he got that telegram She felt a little bit sorry for Fourth He had undoubtedly been having a fairly tough time in the last two weeks. The whole business had been such nasty shock to his vanity. She could still see the expression on his face when she had broken the news. He hadn't believed, at first, but she had firmly convinced him. 1 The hardest task she had had that night had been her attempt to make Fourth understand her own attitude. He could not see why she felt the way she did, or why she was going away. He tried very hard to see, but he failed com pletely That was only natural and on the whole he had behaved splendidly. He had been exception all decent about the money end of the thing, promising to give back every cent that still remained in the bank. He said that it didn't matter; that he'd go hack to sell ing books That was all very well if the job was still open, but per haps someone else had it now Perhaps he wasn't earning a cent Perhaps she should go back to the city at once and hunt for a job Could she do that? Could she pos sibly summon the strength to face all her friends? Could she face Fourth, and Nelson, and Peak Ab- bolt?
 She put down her brush, sud denly feeling dizzy. The turpen- tine or whatever they put in paint did it. Her head ached. The floor would have to wait until tomorrow when she felt better. In the mean time she would go for sail ir the Baybird. That might help. She took off her smock, put on heavy sweater and left the house by the door toward the sea.
 The sea was beautiful Il stretched all across the horizon be- yond the North Beach, a deep. bril- liant blue. A tramp steamer, Bos- ton bound, left long trail of black smoke behind that hung motionless just over the water There was not much wind, but there would bs enough.
 The sun was low in the wes' when she returned to her moorine at the foot of the bluff. The sur and the salt and the solitude hac done their work. Her head nt longer ached.

Chapter 36 UNOPENED TELEGRAMS

The main highway was broad and black; cisy-bred and arro- gant. l. swept smoothly to the top of long hill and offered momen- : tary glimse of blue sea.
 The Taylor place was two miles beyond, far out on the point, just as far out in fact as a house be and still remain on dry land Tt was reached, if anyone cared to bother, by a little road that con- sisted merely of two deep sandy luts which ovcrcame casual ob- Structions by the simple method Of Circling them.
 Wally Rogers, tall, incredibly Etain fourteen-year-old in the olive crab of a telegraph company mes scnger, found nothing impressive in th, sight of the Taylor place. He pursed his lips and whistled three CT four times but there was no an- swer. Finally he shrugged as though he expected no better reception, and walked into the hou-e.
 He entered long, low cellinged room that was in considerable con- fusion. An astonishing pile CT furniture shut off his vision almost completely He moved cautiously into a more advantageous position.
 Beyond the pile of furniture the floor was entirely bare except for its exact center, where knelt girl in a faded green smock. There was a can of paint beside her and she held large brush in one hand. A spot of bright yellow decorated the tip of her nose.
 Wally pulled off his cap, Miss Sherrill?"
 "Oh, it's you" Sam Sherrill sank back on her heels, sighed and shock her head You can't really be telling me that you've brought another?"
 Yes. ma'am" Wally nodded with more than hint of reproach and rendered a yellow envelope. That makes nine in the last fortnight. Miner" Sam stared at the te-e- gram incuriously and shook her head again. Have you really walked out here nine times in two weeks? It's a shamef
 "Yes, maam" Wally shrugged. Mine times out and nine times back. I don't know as I ever knew

 Its a shame" Sam struggled to her feet with a groan. something really ought to be done to stop It. Here" she said, smiling and hold . ing out dollar bill, maybe this will help"
 Thank you" He seivzed the bill and grinned broadly.
 That's all right, Wally. You're perfectly welcome" Sam nodded absently and walked over to the mantel where she placed the yellow envelope carefully on the top of a neat pile of similar envelopes.
 Wally regarded her with consid- erable astonishment. Wasn't she going to open it? "Ain't there he stumbled-"I mean, isn't there any answer, Miss Sherrill?"
 No, there's no answer She shook her head and turned away. l"I only hope you won't have to trudge all the way out here Again. Wally stared. Then an overpow- ering curiosity achieved the upper hand. But, Miss Sherrill," he stammered. "Ain't you going to read it? Amt you going to open 1t at all?"
 In the doorway, Sam turned No she said, with little smile, I'm not going to read it. You see, Wally, I haven't read any of the nine. Not at all. Funny, isn't it?'' 1 He gasped Yes, ma am"
 She continued to smile. Tt is funny, suppose, when you stop to think of it. Do you find it funny Wally?"
 He struggled for speech. Then he said weakly: Ut don't seem somehow, as if it made much sense"
 | That's right, it doesn't make much sense. It's silly" She nod ded thoughtfully and came to a sudden decision. Perhaps we'd better put a stop to it. Have you a blank form with you"
 He gave her a form and a pencil and stood by while she wrote a brief message which she handed him in company with another dol lar bill. Just send this for me will you, please? You can keep the change. You can also read 1t, if you're interested"
 The message was addressed to a MT. William F. Aldersea. It read: Useless for anyone to send letters and telegrams, I don't open them
 "How's that?" she inquired brightly. T think it may do the trick. It may save you lot of trouble"
 "Yes, ma am, I guess so. I gues; maybe it will"
 Wally went away with the firm conviction that he had just beer talking with crazy woman. l! she wasn't crazy, there was some thing that he didn't understand He did not intend to try, either.
 Sam returned to finish her tasl

up to the bluff Her outing, she re- flected, had been utterly profitless in regard to any decision concern ing the future. She had been un- willing and unable to make any, thing that resembled decision. She had merely rested
 She had reached the top of the bluff and was half way across the stretch of grass to the front door when she glanced up and saw that a man was sitting on the front step with his chin in his hands. He was wearing long black city overcoat and a derby hat. Sam stopped in surprise and took half a step forward Then she gasped. Why, Freddy" she said slowly Why, Freddy Munson?"
 Is Freddy making one last
 try to win Sam? She is dis
 turbed, tomorrow, by the req
 son fer his visit.

POSTOFFICE DEPT. BUYS
1900 TRUCKS

The United States Post Office De-
partment has placed an order with
the Washington Branch of the Ford
Motor Company for 1900 motor
truck chassis, Of which 500 will be
"a ton earring capacity, and 1,OOOof
l IL tons carrying capacity. The pur-
chase of the motor equipment was
the largest made by a Government
Department since the War. With
this order Ford sales to the Post
Office Department during recent
years reached a total of 1890 units.
The purchase marked another step
in the Departments program of
building up its fleet of several thous-
and trucks and also to replace some
of the surplus trucks turned over to
the Post Office Department by the
Army at the close of the War.
Deliveries are to start Immediately
and continue as rapidly as the bodies
contracted for are ready for install
lation. The completed trucks will
then be distributed to some SO cities
throughout the United States.

NEW DEVICE TRANSFORMS
MUSIC INTO COLOR

The development of a marvel
lous color organ which auto
matically converts music into
changing colors in harmony
with the moods expressed by
the music, and which can be
used to project the human voice
in color on a screen, was de-
scribed by Mr.. e. B. Patterson,
research engineer Of the RCA
Victor Company.
The color organ, which oper-
ates on radio-electrical prin-
ciples, was developed in the
vast radio laboratories con-
centrated in Camden, New
Jersey, by RCA Victor. 1t is
designed to produce a greater
emotional effect on the specta-
tor listener than can be obtain
ed by listening to music alone.
1t has long been known, Mr..
Patterson said, that color af-
fects human emotion in much
the same way that certain
moods in music do. The color
organ endeavors to make a
simultaneous appeal to both
senses, of sight and sound, for
greater aesthetic enjoyment.
Visualizing it's application
to the stage, or the concert
hall, Mr.. Patterson described
the operation of the color
organ in conjunction with the
performance of a "blues"
singer. The singers voice
picked up by a microphone con-
nected to the color device auto
matically creates a colorful
background of appropriate at
mosphere which changes with
the fluctuations of his voice.
Another application of color
device is to fountains, where in
addition to creating pleasing
lighting effects, it will be pos
sible to control water valves so
that the flow of water is varied
with the changing tempo of
the music.

Electric Company in its capacity as
purchasing agent for the Chesapeake

the supplies are to be used.
Supplies purchased in Maryland,
according to Frederick Irish, gener-

THE REAPER ONE HUN.
DRIED YEARS OLD

The International Harves-
ter Company and with it
American agriculture is cele-
brating this year the Tooth an
niversary of the invention of
the reaper by Cyrus Hall Nc
Cormick. This invention, and
it was certainly one of the most
far-reaching in modern times,
may truly be said to have
ushered in the machine age in
farming, although the fruits of
the invention were not fully
realized until many years later
and the inventor had many OBJ
stacles to overcome before his
dreams came true. In fact, it
was just about so years after
the invention that the settle
ment of the great grain-grow-
ing prairie States took place.
Perhaps there is a counter
part in the fact that fertilizers
, have been used in this country
a little more than so years
much less than that in any
quantity. And perhaps the next
SO years will fully usher in the
plant-food age when fertilizers
will be utilized at a rate several
times the average rate of today.
Certainly efficient farm ma
chimes and commercial plant
food make combination that
VIII insure an adequate food
supply for many generations to
come.

RUM RUNNING BOATS SOLD
AT AUCTION

Two high-speed motor boats, seized
last May when dry agents arrested
fourteen men and captured 600 cases

$25, 900, was sold to man giving the
name of Joseph Frank for $2675; and
the Whippoorwill, the other boat, was
bought by Frank S. Lloyd for $225O.
The Whippoorwill was valued at
SIS, 900.
Each of the boats was equipped
with three twelve-cylinder motors
and was said to be capable of great
speed, even when loaded. The sale
was in chapge of John Freeman,
Deputy United States Marshal.
All fourteen of the men arrested
were indicted recently by Federal
grand jury on charges of conspiracy
to violate the revenue laws by snug
Cling liquor into this country and on
charges of transportion and pos
session of liquor. Several of these
men, all of whom are at liberty on
bond aggregating $l4i,0l0 attended
the auction.
