Hallie was wedged into a rocking chair in the living room with Dickie. “I'm to go next week, Hallle!” Nora cried, unable to keep the ex- citement out of her voice. “What are they like?” Hallie asked while Alice came to lean shyly against Nora. “I don't know how to tell you.

The grocer asked when her father would pay his bill. ‘My father’s an artist and can't be bothered with bills!” she told him. ‘A dead beat, you mean, don't you?' Nora turned on him, her: eyes blazing, and called him a dirty brute. She was eight ab that time. 1 settled with the grocer and the last I saw of her she was hugging the bread against her chest.” “Mother, what are you saying to Fergus,” Fran cried, “with your heads close together?” The conversation became gen- eral.

He threw back his head and his big rocking laughter was joined by the rest. Fran cried, “We'll have to cele- brate. You will have dinner with us. Wouldn't a big cup of coffee taste good? But we haven't any cream.” | - “Let me get the cream,” Fergus said, and before they could stop him he had caught up his hat and was banging the door behind him. They trooped down the stairs to the basement. Dickie as a specia! treat was allowed to have supper with them; and Nora and Hallis brought out'two more chairs while Fran lighted the gas heater.

By this patented process, the degree 'of roast is positively controlled. The result is that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform. The reason for the success of Controlled Roasting is that this process roasts a few pounds at a time instead of in bulk. By a continuous process these small amounts of coffee flow through the roasters in a steady stream, roast- ing a little at a time. Automatic control of both the flow and the heat absolutely prevents variation in the roast. Bold as the claim may seem, no other coffee has the flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee, Wherever Hills Bros. Coffee is introduced becomes the preferred brand. Hills Bros. Coffee never “goes stale,” because it is pnckufmi!n vacuum. By this process, air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is :)akqn from the can and kept out. rdinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab—the trade mark—on the can. Sold by grocers every- where. Hills Bros.

West Park Street is said to have been sur- | veyed by Gov. George A. Parks, when he was connected with the United States Land Cffice and to have been named for him, altho the last letter of his name was never used in the street’s name. For the $500 reward that the Ketchikan Council offered for the arrest and conviction of the slay- er of George P. Marshall, fish buyer, two lawsuits are threatened by R. N. Erwin and J. Bulger. few weeks ago, the council turned the money over to Assistant Unit- ed States Attorney Walter King with the understanding that he should pay it to Kenneth Govro, government witness ‘whose testl- mony was an important factor in convicting Bert McDonald of the homicide. The council now has asked Assistant United States At- torney King to withhold the pay- ment to Govro until dispesition is made of the claims of Erwin and Bulger.
