IP FISH MARKET MUST GO
London's Famous Bllllnfleoate Forced
to Suocumb to the Inexorable
March of Time.
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

~H5es, and fisn, amon| other things,

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

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

"There were valuables?" questioned
Brody.
"No, only my few belongings and

among the contents of the bag. "They

"If you will tell tne where you live

Brody, kindly.
"I am a stranger here," replied the
girl. "I- came to seek my father. I

revived magically as these good Sa

"I am Myrtle Farr." she told them.
??I have lived with an old aunt, on

"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

there Is some mystery here, for that

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.

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,
