GROCERY BILLS
DUE FOR DROP,
U. S. PREDICTS
Relief Forecast fol-
Family Budget

U.NS0 The family grocery
bill, which has reached q record
for the recovery period, may be
expected to start downward trek
soon, according to the Bureau Of
Agricultural Economics today.
The chief reason is that farmers
are receiving the lowest prices for
commodities that they have re-
ceived in the last IA months.
Meat animals and fruits still
are bringing farmers record prices,
but all that Is expected to be
changed, particularly with meats,
by the first of the year.
HOGS ALREADY OFF
Hog prices already have de-
clined about go cents a hundred
pounds since August IS. Cattle
prices, which reached a new rec
ord high at Chicago yesterday for
prize steers, are scheduled to go
down sharply" by the first Of the
year, according to the agricul-
tural economics experts.
Farmers now are feeding up
their cattle, to put them into
prime weight classes, because Of
ample feed supplies, the bureau
said, but by the first Of the year
there will be an ample supply Of
good beef for the market.
NORMAL BY SPRING
Hogs are less numerous, but
they, too. are going to market at
higher weights than usual. so the
pork supply should be about the
same as last year. BY spring,
however, there may be more hogs
on the ,arket, and next years
spring pig supply is expected to
get back to normal, with ample
feed on hand, after three lean
years, because of feed shortages.
Prices received by farmers drop
ped off five points from August
Is to mid-September, the bureau
said. Heavy rains in the East
kept a big supply of vegetables
from reaching the market and an
expected slump in vegetable prices
did not materialize. In the Mid.
die West, however, there is IN
ample supply AMI prices have de-
clined, the bureau said.

Which lent itself to shipboard intrigue

main unaware of his existence. He discovered
that she was listed as the Princess Julie Won
Hohenstatt, and you can say what you like
about titles, there is still certain lure about
princess.
Wilmott noticed his interest in the Girl and
amused himself Raging Cunningham about
her. He pretended to find out that she was
the daughter of a tn-plate millionaire from
Topeka, Kansas, married to the penniless
scion of deCaying race. But Cunningham
knew that she was not an American what
ever else she might be. Then WilmOtt pre-
tended to discover that she was the represen-
tative of famous baJumeur of Paris = that
she was really a Russian who had escaped
from her own country during the revolution
- that she was older than she looked, having
been done over" in Paris - and that she
toiled to support an aged mother, a wastrel
husband, and three children at school in
England. But Cunningham believed none of
these fanciful tales. He wondered, though,
who she really was and why she kept so aloof
from her fellow Travellers And fortunately for
his peace of mind, he found out everything
about her, but not, however, until some time
afterward.
In the meantime, on the third day out, the
weather changed and cold wind swept the
decks. Cunningham bethought him Of his
travelling coat The moment seemed designed
for him to avail himself of the cosy protection
of its ample folds. But to his astonishment,
when he looked for it, he discovered that it
was not to be found. 1t had apparently
vanished from his wardrobe trunk without
leaving trace.
Cunningham conferred with his room
steward. who admitted that he had observed
the coat but expressed complete ignorance of
its present whereabouts. So Cunningham put
on another coat and went up to join Wilmott

they always managed to pick up their friend
ship again where they had left off. This time,
Cunningham had run into Wilmott acci-
dentally in Monte Carlo, where they had gone
about together for a while, arranging before
they parted to meet again on the steamer.
And the first night out, Cunningham felt
grateful to Wilmott for suggesting this ship
because he saw the Girl
There had been girls in Cunningham's life
before this, and am compelled to admit that
there we're girls in his life afterward but this
Girl will always leave vivid impression in his
mind She was beautiful, needless to say, but
she was more than just beautiful. She was
young - but not too young. She had dis
tinction She was intelligent She had poise
She had an unerrlng taste in clothes. Her
smile was radiant Her voice was perfect
Cunningham knew about her voice although
she spoke to him directly only once. And that
was to murmur, Eyes, a perfect night" as
she walked away from him.
This had occurred on the first night out,
when Cunningham had seen her standing by
the rail alone and had ventured to stop and
say with unction: "A perfect night, isn't it?''
She had answered courteously enough, but
had left him so deliberately that there was
no doubt in his mind whatever that she pre-
ferred not to cultivate his acquaintance. The
encounter left him feeling abashed and rueful
and a little depressed. But he soon realized
that she made friends with no one on board.
In the dining saloon, she occupied small
table with grim-looking elderly woman. And
save at meal times, she was very seldom
visible.
The fact that she was unattainable added
to her attractiveness, undoubtedly. Cunning
ham fell to watching her in the dining saloon
moving his chair SO that he could see her
plainly, and he knew that she was aware of
this maneuver, although she pretended to re-

- this occasion there we're two things
that made the trip a memorable one: the
first was the presence of most unusual girl,
and the second was the extraordinary behav-
iour of travelling coat
He had picked up the travelling coat in
London which is the birthplace of all the
best travelling coats, as everyone knows. He
discovered it in a window in Conduit Street
and considered it thoughtfully. 1t was warm
coat One could see that at glance. And he
reminded himself that he could use a warm
coat. 1t was also very we'll cut coat and
very well made coat The only drawback was
that it was little more luxurious looking
than he liked coats to be; for although it was
made of good sturdy tweed and had good
sturdy leather buttons, it had also a fur
collar. And he didn't care great deal for
that. 1t seemed more suitable for an exiled
tsar or popular tenor than for an ordinary
man about town. Still, he perceived that such
collar might be comfort on the deck of the
steamer. going home, or even IN the railway
trains on the Continent, which are very cold
and draughty when they are not overheated
beyond endurance.
So Cunningham eventually decided that he
would drop in and look at the coat and ask
the price and perhaps try it on; of course it
was his when he eventually left the shop.
He had no occasion to wear it for the next
few months, but it remained quietly and un-
complainingly in his wardrobe trunk, until he
was on the steamer headed for home Then it
suddenly began to behave in most sportive
fashion, to cut up capers unbeComlng in
proper travelling coat and to reveal a deep,
secretive nature-a veritable well of mystery.
He had chosen that particular ship because
Wilmott was going to be on board and he
liked Wilmott They'd been at college to-
gether and had remained friends ever since

door," he said to Wilmott, because l never
leave anything about of any value suppose
it was more or less valuable, really, as coats
go but it never occurred to me that any
one would want to steal it. To begin WITH it's
so distinctive, I'd recognize it at glance if
anyone on the ship tried to wear it,
Wilmott said that the thief would probably
keep it to wear after he left the ship, and he
suggested mentioning the matter to the skipper,
who would have search for it instituted; but
Cunningham demurred, objecting that the
value of the coat wasn't sufficient to warrant
making a fuss about it, so he did nothing
about recovering it.
Conceive then of his astonishment, the next
afternoon, when he opened his wardrobe
trunk to look for something else, and found
the travelling coat on the very hanger from
which it had disappeared. The theft of the
coat had been understandable, for it was
very attractive and comfortable coat that
might easily have seduced any masculine eye;
but the return of the coat was inexplicable.
The thief got cold feet, for fear you'd have
search made and it would be discovered"
offered Wilmott. Guilty conscience - that
explains it"
Cunningham agreed that it probably did
and thought no more about it, until the fol-
lowing day when he discovered that the coat
had gone again.
This is getting me dizzy" he declared,
after he and Wlmott had made an exhaustive
search of the stateroom and had cross
questioned the bewildered steward.
Somebody is evidently having a game
with you" said Wilmott
But to what end?" asked Cunningham.
If it's practical joke, it's very stupid one.
Besides, don't know anyone on board well
enough for him to be playing practical jokes
on me- I've good mind to complain to the
captain this time just to find out in whose
possession the thing is.
"Ye-es," said Wilmott "You might find
out that way. On the other hand if it S game
of some sort, you might spoil it by having a
search made. Why not sit tight for a day or
SO and see what happens? You can always
invoke the captains aid if it doesn't turn
up again by the last day on board"
Cunningham could not imagine what the
game could be, but he decided to wait until
