She laughed mirthlessly as she rode.
She had been happy once.
' It was a wild country, and the
bridle path lay through a mountain
forest. She could look down nearly
JOOO feet upon narrow, level bottoms,
where she detected an occasional red

she heard a rabbit running away In

She had heard of Dundon on the
XI Eoudon Gene Dundon and his
wife heard bad news. Gene had left
his address with his brother Jim, and
now, at the end of two weeks, Jim
had sent a letter in order that Gene
might know whether Hattle Brown's
folks were following him or not.

When Gene read that Lottie had
left home, he remembered many things
about Lottie Kemple which he had
forgotten under the spell of Hattle
Brown's pretty eyes and gentle voice.
Lottie had said once that the man
who tried to "get shet" of her would
surely "dread It," and now he had
done that. He wondered what he had
to dread? After the letter's arrival,
he began to hurry down the river.
He started early In the morning,' and
floated till almost dark.but as he float

chosen companion Of misfortune. He
had lost hours of good floating by go

after day he had been held back by

held him, and when the drift was

Fruit Market Agencies

The next time she heard of the little

Lottie paddled all day long, n&'
when night came she did not go ashore,,
The river, she knew, was safe for the
100 miles to Mussel Shoals. Tired out
at last, the vengeance seeker curled
down on the straw in the bottom of
the canoe and went to sleep. The sua

It was a glorious spring day,

filled the air, the pale green of new
born leaves colored the landscape,
and the river itself was the color of
liquid gold. In her heart the girl felt
that the chase was nearlng an end.
She was weary and sad, and the
thought pleased her. ' f
She scanned the shores carefully,
watching the Inlets lest the little red
shanty boat be tied up In one. All
Decatur she studied the shanty-boat
town till she had seen every boat In
It. A fewmlles below she saw the
big floating sawmill, and one of the
deckhands warned her that the shoals
were not far below.
Just before sundown she spied S
shanty boat making toward the south
bank in the bend below her. She ran
her cunoe Into the shadow of the
trees unit flouted slowly toward the
sistunts in the work of packing and will
increase the rapidity of handling. An
other big advantage of the cooperative
plan is the economy. Now look here.
Suppose five nieu invest two. thousand
dollars each in a packing house and
packing equipment for handling their
own individual fruit. Suppose five
other men go together and erect one
packing house and buy one set of equip
ment. The cost of the fite growers
under the former plan is $10,000. To
the five growers under the second plan
it is 2000. Of course the larger grow
ers may own their own individual ware
house and packing plant but it is a
charge on the industries that the busi
ness of the small grower will not
stand.
"The adoption of a uniform sales
account system will enable the investi
gator to sco at a glance the condition ;
of the business. Heretofore, the radi
cally different svstems of recording the
account sales made it difficult, if not

be marching past the stars above tha
tree tops. On the water, a few gleama
of light flickered and darted. Tha
light at the entrance to the canal
grew plainer as it became nearer.
The canoe and the shanty boat
Coated on down, turning from slda
to side as the eddies In the current!
caught them. The shanty boat camel
between the canoe and the light, and)
the girl saw a little halo of light
along the roof of the boat, showing
that there was a faint shadow cast
by the light, it was so near. '
f. Ahead the gray mist became whiter,
and to right and left, two banks o0
trees on Islands marked the way to)
the wing dam. Down the center ol
the way led the shanty boat. Nowi
the roar became furious and tumultu
ous. The light had been passed. Tha
girl In the canoe made no morion and
uttered no sound.
Suddenly a light flashed in tha
shanty boat It flickered a moment,
and then burned steadily. The front
door Opened and a beam of light
yellow lamp light shot out Into tha
night. It struck against the gray
fogbank above the leaping water.
Then the shadow of a human form
Was thrown against the gray mist,
with the arms raised lit astonishment.
The next Instant a far-?ard scream
a man's scream cut through tV.s
roar of the waters. Then tl-.o shanty
boat pitched over, down and o t of
sight. A moment later the canon
dipped at the fall and the irl, hr
eyes shut, but her position unchanged,
followed her faithless sweetheart
