Billingsgate, London'* old-time fish market, Is about to move. The course of time and the modern difficulties of transport are responsible for the plan t? remove to another site more easy l( access, and In which space will sot always be at a premium. Billingsgate was the most important (M7 on the Thames In late Saxon ~H5es, and fisn, amon| other things, 1 were landed there. By the time of Bdwfti'd I the market was fully estab* Jjghed, and tho king, who was a con firmed food Controller, fixed a tariff of maximum prices. This list Included Me dozen best soles, 6 cents ; best mul let, 4 cents; best haddock, 4 cents; best Thames or Severn lamprey, 8 cents ; gallon of oysters, 4 cents, and nSwit porpoise, 12 to 16 cents. The best fresh salmon, after Easter, were to be sold lit four for $1.25. That was In the days when the Thames was frill of salmon, and one could catch floun ders and flatfish on a line dropped fret London bridge, The water Is still ~*lty during high tide, but the sea fish do not come up any further than fiwesend, which is 20 miles lower .down. " Kf>; ? ? . ^ Compensation for Dark Days. "There are not many happinesses K complete as those that are sutehed under the shadow of the ?word." Some of life's brightest tiossoms bloom along Its hardest nys, and looking back on days of poverty, sickness and hardship we Often see the choicest treasures of love and loyalty that we have ever known. Anyone may share our Joys with us, but the one who shares our trials conies close in a friendship that will never be forgotten. An outsider, pitying the weary attendants In a dckrOom, canhot know how near to heaven Its companionships often lie, oor what blessed bits of happiness snatched under the shadow oh the impended sword. The dark days have their compensations. ? Montreal Her lid. Varieties of Potatoes. One potato may be big enough to Provide a meal for a good-sleed fam ily. People In Virginia like them that way.

Oh, see. sir !" she cried tn "poignant alarm, as she groped among the contents of the bag. "They are gone!". "If you will tell tne where you live T will see you safely home," suggested Brody, kindly. "I am a stranger here," replied the girl. "I- came to seek my father. I located his office and explained to a -man In charge; I told Him who T w-as and about the papers I had to Identify me. He said that Mr. Robert l arr, that Is mv fntlier, was absent. I am almost sure that lie followed me/ Brody was puzzled, for the girl s statements were unusual and strange.

"You must remain wlfh us until my brother looks Into this matty," de clared Eunice and. after Myrtle Farr was comfortably Installed In a spare room they discussed the singular event that had brought this stranger to their threshold. "I have seen Robert Farr at his of fice," reported Brody to Myrtle two days later. '1 told him of your claim.' He absolutely denies having a daugh ter or of ever hearing of you before." 1 .Myrtle Farr was fairly crushed at this declaration. She was insistent on seeing the man who disowned her and asked Brody to accompany her to the office he had Just left. "That J a Robert Farr," spoke Brody as they nearly reached the building he had Just before visited and he pointed out a man entering It. There came Into the eyes of his companion a glow of sudden revelation. "That the Robert Farr/* she whis pered, strangely agitated, "who says I am not his daughter? Oh, Mr. Brody I there Is some mystery here, for that man Is not my father. Aunt Gella had a picture of him be sent her two years ago, and this man does not in any way resemble him. I had ft among my pa pers.*' There was . more than mystery. There was plotting and wickedness, as Wilson Brodjr ascertained after a week's timfc devoted to unraveling the , identity of the pretended Robert Farr. Through diligent application to the ?Q0e and detective co-opcratien, he learned thrft the Impostor and fellow conspirators had kidnaped the real^ Robert Farr, who lived in another place, and* the principal schemer had come to the city intent on assuming his Identity and claiming and selling his property. 'A month later the plotter and his confreres were In Jail, and thePreal Robert Farr, rescued from forced Im prisonment, was a guest at the Brody home, flad andproud of the daughter he had never seen before. And there they both remained, the father ea a welcome member of the household, and fair Myrtla as the wife of Wilton Brody.

July flixl, 10LH) ? . - Read this letter given us by the Carolina Public Service Corporation, one of the largest users of trucks in the State, and you can't help being impressed with the fact that the Traffic Truck is the best buy in the world if you have a hauling problem to solve: ? . rarawS Traffic Motor Truck Corp., " Charleston, S. C. June 5-19*20. St. Louis, Mo. Gentlemen : _ _ The Writer has been very interested in (he Traffic Truck since they were first made, as our Company is a large user of trucks and the unusually low price at which your product is sold, is of course a very attractive argument. Sometime ago we purchased one of your trucks purely as an experiment and _ with a great deal of misgiving, andplaced it in operationalong side of a number 7 of high priced trucks of the same comparative capacity. : We instructed our mechanical department to exact the severest sort of test from this machine as we wished to know it's limit of performance ' and endurance, and. that we 'had no objection to their disabling or practically destroying the m a chine in operation in order to determine this limit. We have been delighted with the performance of this machine as it has, in every particular, more than fulfilled the claims of its makers, and our mechanical - department is " enthusiastic about it. '?i\ One of our expert mechanics rode on the , rear axle of this machine carrying a capacity load, a number of miles in and around Columbia, over bad roads * and up ' steep hills to determine whether there was any distortion of the rear axle mechan ism under maximum tractive effort of the engine on bad roads, and He reported to us that there was no distortion of this unit, a fault which is as . you are aware, quite common in a large number of otherwise very good trucks. The ice business exacts severe service as our trucks are invariably loaded to capacity with a dead weight load, and during our rush hours must be rather rough ly handled and for this reason, we have consistently declined to recommend ma chines of this character until fully justified by our carefully planned and severe tests. We are today ordering from your representative, three more trucks, for use at three of our other plants and we think that you may feel assured this Company y? will rapidly become one of $our large customers in this territory. With best wishes for your well deserved success, * o Yours very truly, "1 R.H.HEMPHILL, Vice Pres., and X2en. Mgr. Carolina Public Service Company. Camden Motor STATE DISTRIBUTORS FOR SOUTH CAROLINA
