Brow* 6 Co, *- SYNOPSIS Estella Beaton, left a penniless orphan, goes to join her brother Charlie,, who is logging lumber in British Columbia. Charlie tells Stella of his prospects and describes his primitive manner of living. lie introduces a neighbor. Paul Abbey. (Continued) "Be a long time before we get to that stage here." Benton returned. "And scenery in B. C. is a drug on the market. We've got Europe backed off the map for tourist at tractions. if they only knew it. No, about the only summer home In this locality is the Abbey place at Point. They come up here every summer for two or three months. Otherwise I don't know of any lilies of the field, barring the hotel people, and they, being purely transient, don't count. There's the Abbey-Monohan outfit with two big logging camps, my outfit, Jack Fyfe's, some hand loggers on the east shore and the R. A. T. at the head of the lake. That's the popu lation and Roaring- lake is forty two miles long and eight wide." "Are there any nic-6 girls around?" she asked. Benton grinned widely. "Girls?" said he. "Not so you could notice. Outside the Springs and the hatchery over the way, fhere isn't, a white woman on the lake except Lefty Howe's .wife Lefty's Jack Fyfe's foreman—and she's fat and past forty. I told you it was a God forsaken hole as far as society is concerned, Stell." "I know," she said thoughtfully.

To Stella's inner amusement., however, he did not make any rcference v to their having been fellow travelers for a day and a half. Presently they were embarked and under Way. Charlie fixed a seat for her on the afterdeck and went for ward to steey, whither he was straightway joined by Paul Abbey. Miss Benton was as well pleased to be alone. She was not sure >-he should approve of young men who made such crude efforts to scrape ac quaintance with women on trains. After about an hour's run, with the south wind beginning to whip the crests of the short seas into white foam, the boat bore in to a landmrf behind a low point. Here Abbey disembarked after taking the trou ble to come aft and shake hands with polite farewell. Standing on the float, hat in hand, he bowed his sleek blond head to Stella. "I hope you'll like Hoaring lake, ' Miss Benton," he said as Benton , jinkled the go ahead bell. "I tried to persuade Charlie to stop over awhile, so you could meet my mother and sister, but he's in too big; of a hurry. Hope to have the pleasure of meeting you again soon." Miss Benton parried courteously, a little at a loss to fathom his bland friendliness, and presently the widen ing space cut off their talk. As the boat drew offshore she saw two I women in white come down toward i the float, meet Abbey and turn back. And a little farther out | through an opening in the woods she] saw a white and green bungalow,: low and rambling, wide verandaed, I set on a hillock 300 yards back from : shore. There was an encircling area j of smooth lawn, a place restfully inviting. Far ahead loomed a ridge run ning down to the lake shore and cutting off in a bold promontory. | That was Halfway Point, Charlie | had told her and under its shadow j lay his camp. Without any previous j knowledge of camps, she was ap-1 proaching this one with less eager i anticipation than when she began' her long jorney. She began to fear j that it might be totally unlike any- ' thing she had been able to imagine, disagreeably so. j, In due course the Ohickamin bore in under Halfway Point, Apened out a sheltered bight where the watery commotion outside raised but a; faint ripple, and drew in alongside • a float. (To b* continued.) WHEAT HERE IS • SELLING BELOW FIXED PRICE "Soft" Grain Raised in Penn sylvania Not Yet Consid ered by Government' Farmers and wheat-growers of this section of the country do not know at this time what price will be paid f*>r Pennsylvania wheat, despite the fact that the government has entered the wheat market, and has taken possession of the wheat in ele vators and terminals in certain sec tions, buying at the basic price of $2.20 a bushel. Local concerns ex plain that the price of $2.20 per bushel applies only to northern or hard wheat. This grade is not sold In this section. Soft wheat, of the variety general ly grown in Pennsylvania, is not ready for the market. While there have been some sales, much of this season's wheat is not yet threshed, and the grain is not properly season ed, even though threshed some time since. Local concerns are paying in the neighborhood of $2 a bushel for the wheat now being offered. Expect Action By Sept. 15 The government commission is not yet in a position to.fix the price locally, but it is thought that definite information upon this score will be received by the middle of this month. The Paxton Flour and Feed Com pany, which controls ten grain ele vators and is one the largest buy ers- in this section, is buying wheat when offered at from $1.!)0 to $2.00 on the tracks. This concern sells ex tensively throughout the SoutHern States. It also iloea a large business in New England, as wel as in Penn sylvania, New Jersey and New York. "We do not have any information i to give regarding the price to be tixed j for local wheat," said J. Austin ' Brandt, of that concern, in an inter- j view to-day. "The government does | not have any information of a-detl-j nlte nature. We hope to have thisj information by the n\iddle of the j month. In the meantime, we are! buying wheat at from $1.90 to $2 aj bushel on our tracks." Whether the government cpmmis sion will permit the big concerns to I sell to the millers direct, Is not known, and this is a matter that will i have its effect upon the buying and ! selling locally. It is possible that all i wheat will pass through the govern ment-controlled elevators. During the past year, wheat was at one time as high as $3.20 a bushel in this section. Assuming that the soft wheat grown here will sell at from twenty to thirty cents below the price tixed for the hardy north ern variety, growers may expect that, the price will be fixed locally at about $2 per bushel. Central High School Notes About 450 freshmen reported yester day at 3:30 p. m. at Central high school. They were divided into eigh teen sections and assigned to their va rious classes. Classes were resumed this morning. ' Slight changes have been made in the general program for the coming year.

The young men who left for the southern training camp presented a fine appearance as they marched with steadf tread, to the accompaniment of farewells from tlie large crowd which lined the side walks along the line of march. The soldiers were brought from the Aisenal to the City Grays Armory in automobiles. Two hours before the parade formed, whistles were blown to notify tlie organizations which had expressed a desire to participate, to be in readiness. Promptly at 6.30 o'clock the parade moved.

Ores sang, and the departing quartermas ter's corps under command of Captain Ia A. I>uttringer. Will I. Laubenstein was marshal of the second division. When the front of the procession rtached the Pennsylvania depot, the various organizations formed a review arid presented arms, while the depart ing soldiers marched down Market street. The scene was an impressive one. Cnptain l.aubrnstrln Sprnkn A farewell address was delivered by Captain E. I.aubenstein from the fiteps of the Pennsylvania passenger station. The soldiers stood before the speaker and a large crowd tilled the station enclosure.

Farewell, brave friends, farewell Private Kmponrt* At the conclusion of Captain Lau benstein'a address. Private Jay P. Lecpole, of Philadelphia, a member of the departing contingent, made a fitting response. The young soldier caught the fancy of the crowd when he said that no tears should be shed for the boys who were leavihg. He declared that it was honor enough to fight for the Stars and Stripes. Pri vate Leopole paid a high tribute to the Red Cross when he declared that the boys who go to war to-day are better equipped than any other army in the world'.! history, largely through the efforts of the Red Cross.
