Ore. — (U.R) — News that France abandoned the plan of requiring each apple and pear exported to her ports be enclosed in a wrapper bearing the name of its origin, has been well received in this fruit growing center. The “wrapper plan” assertedly was to have been in retaliation for a ruling fostered by American wine interests to force French exporters to specify on each bottle wrapper the origin of every bottle of wine. o ■ — Get the Hamt — Trade at Home All Accounts with the Vaughan Florists may be paid at the company office.

CHAPTER XXV. Returning the certificates to Ann, the lawyer asked: “Did you and your husband, Edward Haskel. continue to reside in Greenville, Kentucky, after your marriage?” "Not long we didn’t. We-uns moved to Cowley County, Illinois.” “Your sister Grace and her husband, Henry Haskel—did they remain in Greenville?” “No, sir; we-all moved together —worked a farm together in Cowley County on shares fer ’bout two year. Then we-all moved to Price County, Missouri—northern part of the state hit war. Farm rents wam’t so high in Missouri as they’d got to be in Illinois. We war in Price County four year—had two farms thar, but they war only ’bout a mile apart, so we-uns eould be close neighbors like we'd alius been.” “Any children?” “Grace had a girl-baby. Hit died. I didn’t have nene—not then.” “I realize how painful some of your memories must be, Mrs. Haskel,” said Levering, gently, “but it is quite necessary for you to relate them. Your sister's husband died in Price County, Missouri?” The mountain woman spoke nowin a stony monotone. ‘‘Henry Haskel war hung fer killin’ a man. You got hit all down in your papers thar, I reckon. The killin’ war over a hoss deal. Henry he alius war quarrelsome when he war drinkin’, which had got to be most of the time after we went to Missouri. He warn’t like his cousin Ed. Ed ho war sober an’ steady. He 'most alius could manage Henry, too, when thar war any trouble.” "Go on, please.” "After her man war tuck, Grace she come to live with me an’ Ed. We-uns war all the kin she had.’’ “Yes?” “Soon’s hit war all over 'bout Henry, we-uns moved away from thar; went to west Kansas—away out in the short-grass country—an’ tried dry farmin’. But, shucks! couldn’t nobody make a livin’ in eieh a country, an’ we come back to Missouri to keep from starvin’ to death. Barry County hit war this time—down in the southwest part —nigh the Oklahoma line. Hit war ia Kansas Grace died.” “Where was your boy. John Herbert. bom. Mrs. Haskel?” “John Herbert he war homed in Kansas, too.” “How long did you and your husband and the boy remain in Barry County?” “We war thar ’bout two year. Then we come hyear. We settled, first, over on yon side the river—on Clear Creek. We war a-doin’ right well, me an’ Ed an’ little Herb. Then a tree fell on Ed an’ killed him. Thar wam’t nobody left but me an’ my boy. Hit’s like I tell you, mister—John Herbert air the last of the Haskels.” The lawyer, in his precise way, said: “From the i "ailable records ■we have established, the marriages in Greenville, Kentucky, and the death of Henry Haskel in Price County, Missouri, we have traced ■he movements of the two families as you have given them. The death of your husband, Edward, is, of course, easily proven. But there is no record—no official record, I mean, of the death of your sister Grace. And there is no record of the birth of your son, John Herbert. Please understand, madam, that I am not doubting the truth of your statements, but as a matter of legal form—purely as a matter of form —can you substantiate by living witnesses what you have told me?” Ann Haskel's dark eyes were fixed upon her backwoods companion. Slowly she said: “Nance jordan hyear knows all about hit. She war livin’ with we-uns when my —my sister died an’ when my boy war borned.”

“Good!” exclaimed the lawyer, turning to Nance. If he noticed the woman’s fright, ho attributed it to her quite evident backwoods ignorance. “Your name, please?”

“Huh?” “Your name?” "Hit’s Nance Jordan, jest like Ann says.” "Where were you bora?” “Missouri, I reckon.” “You lived with Mr. and Mrs. Edward Haskel in Price County, did you?” Nance looked at Ann. “She tuck me in. I been with her ever since.’’ “Oh, I see,” returned the lawyer. He turned again to Nance. “Mus Jordan, can you swear to the truth of Mrs. Haskel’s statement regarding the death of Grace, the widow of Henry Haskel, and the birth of John Herbert, son of Ann and Edward Haskel?” Turning her frightened face toward Ann, the backwoods woman answered, doubtfully; “I ain't never sweared to nothin’ in ail my borned days, mister.” “But you know of these facts, do

you not?” the lawyer continued. “You can testify of your own knowledge that this woman is Ann Haskel, the wife of Edward Haskel and the mother of John Herbert Haskel?” Ann Haskel’s dark eyes never left her backwoods companion’s face. Slowly Nance answered, “1 sure can, mister.” The attorney put his papers carefully away in the briefcase. “Mrs. Haskel,” he said, with a smile, “I congratulate you.” “Y'ou what?” “I am pleased to inform you. madam, that you are the heir to a very substantial fortune.” “My Gawd-a-nvghty,” gasped Nance. Ann Haskel said, slowly, “I reckon you’d best tel! me ’bout hit, mister.” “John Haskel, the father of your husband, Edward, was, as you said, in business. Among other small interests he traded in a small way in real-estate. He died in Holmsburg, Pennsylvania. At the time of his death he was in possession of a tract of apparently worthless land. He had purchased this land, believing it to be oil land, and although the development which he expected did not occur during his lifetime, his faith in the property was so strong that he placed it in trust with our company for his heirs. He was a widower at the time of his death. “The terms of the trust were un usual. John Haskel was, I am told, somewhat eccentric. In fact, his prediction as to the ultimate value of his property was generally held to prove his —ah - peculiarities. In

establishing this trust he provided for the payment of taxes and instructed that the land should be held for fifty years, or until the property was worth a million dol“In either of these events the trusteeship should cease and disposition of the property should be made as follows: To John’s only son. Edward, if he were living at that time. If Edward were, desd, the land should go to his widowproviding. of course, that Edward had married and that his wife were living at the time of the dissolution of the trust. If both Edward and his wife were dead, the property should go to any child or children which might have been horn tn them. If Edward and his wife were dead, and if they left no issue, the land was to go to the Foreign Missionary Board of the Methodist Church.

“The market value of that land today is nearly two million dollars. For the past three years we have be®n tracing John Haskel’s descendants. endeavoring to find an heir. Without doubt, Mrs. Haskel, that property, under the terms of the trust, belongs to you, the widow of Edward Haskel. It only remains to make out the necessary legal papers, which I shall attend to at. once. The lawyer paused expectantly. Nance Jordan started from her chair and sank back, helpless, her frightened gaze fixed on Ann Haakel, who sat as motionless as a rock, staring blankly at nothing. Mr Levering wondered, “What was the mountain woman thinking? What emotions were hidden behind that grim, stony mask?” When Ann did not speak, the attorney said: “May I add, Mrs. Haskel. that the Fidelity Trust and Savings Bank will be very happy to continue to serve you in handling this splendid property? By the way. how old is your son, John Herbert?” Ann Haskel answered, slowly, “He air a man grown —so fara years go, J mean." “Ah—and is he a business man? Is he competent to advise you?” “So fat s I can tell, fr.isror, my Herb ain’t competent to advise nobody, He’s aimin to be a poetry writer.” The lawyer arose and extended his hand. “Please feel free to call upon my company for any advice at any time.

Rock Garden Annuals

1 Rock gardening has assumed a, position of such importance that consideration of annuals to maiu- , tain color during the summer months is a quest garden ' efficiency. For the most part, the glory of the rock garden has de-, parted by the end of June. The i great races of plants that require ’ rock garden treatment for their j best success are spring bloomers. By the judicious use of annuals of short and tufted growth color may be maintained during the entire j season. Care must be taken pot to in .ro-1 duce too heavy growing a nuals which might smother some of the rarer perennial subjects. Seed should be sown fairly late in the spring by merely scattering it on bare patches among the rock plants. First in im|Jorfance of these tiny i plants in popular esteem is the tiny rock crees, jonopsiduni acatile, a i ; three-inch miniature with lovely ! I lilac flowers. It comes into bloom . quickly and goes out quickly. A i supply of seed to scatter every now and then will be useful. Cali-: fornia lias given us a number of bright little annuals for the rock garden, and one of the prettiest and best known of these is oaby blue: ieyes or nemophila. The old-fashioned portulaca or rose moss makes a surprisingly effective plant scattered between the stones in a walk, particularly if laid in crazy paving style. It is also useful on the hottest and dryest portions of the rock garden. i A little Jewel is the leptosiphon giving a variety of bright coloring in size and growth in keeping with rock plants. The violas raised from seed, especially those of the gracilis and cornuta types, will bloom late in I the season from spring sown seed and may be used to produce fine color effects in the rock garden. Some of the dwarf phlox drummondi may be introduced to give a brilliant splash of color. Nierembergia gracilis is another excelNotice to Patrons I will be out of town from June 110 to June 18 attending medical meeting. DR. C. C. RAYL
