He had been given swell start,
he was doing work that meant
more 10 him than anything else

of wealth on which to fall back
would be no hardship.
He supposed there was some
justification for Martins atti-

be useful to Martin later to be

PETER Is JEALOUS
CHAPTER III

II was late when they arrived
at Tuckaways, and very dark.
The place had earned its name
from a chance remark OF
Bruce's, that ii could in its en-
tirety easily be tucked away in
to the pocket of any one of the
huge neighboring estates. Com
pared to them it was indeed
small; but, a creation of one OF
Bellies cleverer friends, 1t was
. little gem of planning and
planting.
The pretty entrance road
twisted and turned and curved
back on itself so that ii seemed

ing on the house; in the dark
that effect was increased and,
with the glare of the headlights
thinning only the boles of the tall
old trees, then losing itself in
the foliage so that they appear
ed even more towering, the car
seemed to be passing through
dense forest. The house itself,
in reality merely low and COM
fortably rambling, now with its
shadows indefinably merging
with the darker shadows of its
surroundings, seemed TO spread
itself opulently, endlessly.
Martin was visibly impressed.
Nothing in Peters manner of
living at medical school had pre-
pared him for this. AS they
stepped out of the car he gave
a long-drawn whistle to indi-
cate his awe of everything.
What were you doing shar-
ing room with a couple of 9TH

long enough for you" he de-
manded wr..'ly, IS ! u m m n &?

Peter said briefly, This is my
folks place" as though that ex-
planned everything. He wa S
scarcely paying attention to
Martin, being preoccupied with
removing the luggage from the
car. They had not wired ahead,
50 that the couple in charge Of
the place had not expected them
and there was, therefore, no one
on hand to help.
Candace stood beside him
holding a flashlight so that he
might see, and reaching forth a
hand for her hatbox. AS he turn
ed to give it to her Peter was
struck by her quiet, trance-like
air and he saw that her eyes
were looking enormous in her
white face.
He saw with quick contrition,
"Pshaw, you run along, young
ster Well take care of this.
You've had big day. It's off to
bed with you"
Candace was not sorry to go.
Martin was now completely alb

Candace missed the bitterness
and caught only the pathos in
the remark. Peter saw her look
turned on Martin, compassion
ate and tender - and he was,
suddenly, angry.
He thought, this guys getting

EARLY PACKING METHOD

Tin cans were made to fit the
fish, instead of fitting the fish in
to the cans, when salmon first
were packed in cans. A special,
handmade, form fitting tin suit
was built to order for each fish.
First such packing was in Cork,
Ireland, in 1845.
