However, Harry departed upon the morning train, and as she was leaving upon a later trolley, Janet sat at the telephone," considering whom among her friends would be willing to care for her troublesome pet. Just in the midst of her problem the telephone rang with a sound of promise. “Hello, Janey,” called a toine of pe culiar sweetness, “you will never guess who this is, so I’ll teU youf Your old college sister, Theodora ; and I am on my way home from a trip with Nell Truesdale. Could you keep me over night? We want to go to the theater."' •' ^ Janet’s brain worked busily. “Come out right now,” she replied.

The market for ginseng In Hong kong and the China field generally is depressed, and dealers look for lit tle revival In the trade until well, to ward Chinese New Year. Usually there Is a quickening in thej^liade as cool weather comes on, but so far the past year, and in spite of the high ex change Value of silver which ought stimulate the trade, the sale of *the root has been much below normal, says Consul General George E. An derson, Hongkong. Arrivals have been below normal and the demand has not kept pace with the supply. An auc- ' tlon of a lot ot American root on con signment reseently brought fair prices. Two days later a similar lot of as good If not better root sold for little more than half the price brought by the first lot, and private sales made later were i on a still lower level. Uncertain po- 1 litical conditions In the interior of China are given as the chief reason for the present slump in demand, but uncertain fimyicial conditions due to the export of silver and copper coin age from the provinces as well as the 817,000 can were “scrapped” in 1917i No need to “scrap” yours 9 i . • , . . , _ „ existence of piracy and other disorders ™ 0, ^; ,ra u «i nded ,0 ,htf fflwrhrt. have also had' ma- ~ dWtghtiut, Befbg ahme HkSf this?” she said. “No one to entertain us us we do not wish to be enter tained.

A man stumbling later, up the same darkened stairway, fitted first one key and then another, without success. A moment longer he persisted, then made his way to a rear entrance with rewarded effort. The back hall door responded to his touch, and feeling his way the man entered the apartment* He made his way to an inner chamber, the one vacated by the Inmates, and after investigating, reclined oh the couch and lit a cigar.

A factory has been started at Ymul- den, at the entrance to the North sea Canal, for transmuting the least de sirable fish and fish offal into a sat isfactory food for swine, writes Con sul Frank W. Mahln, Amsterdam. Netherlands. This is considered of double Importance—It feeds the swine and also frees articles (maize, for ex ample) usually fed to swine, for other purposes, even for human food. Spoiled fish have been fed to swine, but with bad effect on the taste of the pork. The new factory, It is stated, makes a “vlschroeel” (literally, fish meal) from the material it uses, which product, analysts shows, contains 55 per cent albumen and 12 per cent fat, and also realizes an oil that after suitable purification, could be used in competition with cod-liver oil, or in any case could- be very useful as an In- /'r^-VW7\ / v fy ' km/ ] / 0ffr7/ ,/: Wk' /d fiii . m- fifi J • tn ijUX^JZ The Vita!
