Harry was going to New York on
business, and this would be Janet’i
first opportunity to visit her home,
since marriage. The one difficult!
was in leaving the new apartment va-
cant in winter, Janet wag afraid that
the water pipes might freeze, and 11
W'ould be impossible to leave Nancy,
the parrot, in the cold rooms.
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 two
girls had written of their wandering
trip to the homes of various old school
friends. There would be much of In
terest In the city that weelv. Perhaps
she might be able to persuade them
to^ stay and keep bouse in the apart
ment during her absence; a mutual
exchange of accommodations, the new
experience for 4he girls, care for her
plants, and pet. , So .when the girls
came all was quickly and sarisfactorily
arranged. Joyously her friends escort
ed Janet to the trolley. .
•“You can rely upon us,” they as
sured her, “we will keep the gas go*
Ing in the furnace, and have every-v
thing in readiness for your return.”

GINSENG MARKET IN CHINA
Depression in Business Reported Past
Year, Bate of the Root Being
Much Below Normal.
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

Spoiled fish have been fed to swine,
