"Just one question, Julia, before I go. Are you quite determined to marry Berrell 7" Julia looked up with astonishment from the sandwiches she was pack- ing for his journey. "Dear me, Bertie, of coursdé you know that I am! Whatever makes you ask?" "You esteem him, I suppose?" "Of course I do. Why shouldn't I? A man in his position is surely worthy of esteem." "And if I could show you that he isn't worthy of it?" She stared at him, round-eyed, and very nearly open-mouth. "But, Bertie, what's the matter? 1 thought you were so pleased with my marriage 7" "So I was--until quite lately. But the fact is I've changed my mind about Berrell. I've had a cahnee of seeing the real man, and you haven't; and before you bind yourself for life I think I ought to tell you that he isn't the man we took him for. Don't ask me for particulars--I couldn't give them; but this much T will tell you; his respect for human life is not --well, not what one takes for grant- ed that it is in' every respectable per- son; certainly not what one wants it to be in those nearest one." Under the stress of the astonish- ment Julia had sat down. "She even grew a little pale. "Good gracious, Bertie, you don't mean that he's killed anybody?" "No, oh, no! He hasn't hurt a fly, to my 'knowledge--not a man, any- way; I don't believe he'd have the luck to do it; but he's capable of egg- ing on another, under safe cover for himself. I know he is, and since I knew it the thought of seeing you his wife troubles me." For a brief Space after her brother paused Julia sat there, a prey to visibly perplexed reflection. Yon soon, however, the surface agitation-- it was no more than tha as infallibly as die away the circles upon the water into which a stone has thin been thrown. Within a minute her broad, good-humored face had again become as placid as any unvisited pond. Then she laughed, her usual, comfortable laugh. "Really, Bertie, yon quite fright- 'ened me! I thought ot tes spotted George as some unpunished criminal! It's very good of you to warm me and wll that, of course, but those sur- mises of yours--and I'd rather take them only as surmises--aren't enough to scare me off." "He isn't a good man, Julia--I know he isn't." ; "Did I ever say he was? I'm fot marrying him for his virtues, but for his position and his income--parti- Cularly his income; to you I don't mind saying this. Not the man we took him for! But what did we take him for but a quarry manager who understands his work, and with eight hundred a year? He remains that, doesn't he, even supposing his senti- ments are not quite so elevated as you ook them to be--mercy knows why? 'll never have such another chance, even if I have another chance at all. What can I hope for, now that Fene has made mince-meat of the family prospects? And after George has consented to overlook the objection of the relationship! No, no I'd be a fool to break now. He'll feed me and house me in the way I like to be fed and houed, ansd he won't ill-treat me --I'll answer for that--for he's the gort who likes a warm chimney-cor- tier, and I could easily make too warm for him, if I chose. fear for me, Bertie, I'll hold my own! He'll Jespect my life, whatever he may do a other people's!" nd she an robustly and heartily. * . . When next morning dawned, vast ied away i Never . new Ardloch stood revealed--an Ard. loch of a beauty so immaculate As gr knowing > ul + the yo favefacod Over the loch. tone that's where you wanted to Cousins; Slate roofs and straw thatch had alike disappeared Sider Jeautifully fitting snow-caps; while the very edge of the water the universal white lay, with no more than irregular bulges to be- tray the whereabouts of the buri sea-weed wreaths. As perfect as this it could not last for a day; but while it lasted it made a picture not to be forgotten by the eyes which looked upon it. Upon that dead white afternoon the minister, walking a little beyond the village, became aware of a canine clamour on the shore below. He looked impatiently in that direction, for the sharp yaps disturbed his train of thought. aving looked, he stood still, and having stood still for a mo- ment, he turned decisively from the road; and, along a path freshly trod- den in the snow, approached the spot where Father Grey was strugglin with Boxer for a bit of driftw: which the latter was supposed to be retrieving, but from which, at the given moment, he found it too great a sacrifice to part. Just as John reached the dark line of the shore-- for here the tide had already been busy--the priest 'was triumphantly holding the recovered stick aloft, while the dripping beast leaped fran- tically around him, with bright eyes almost starting rfom its head, and deafening barks filling the air, and all the other symptoms of canine lunacy, commonly produced on a fox-terrier by the combination of a piece of stick and a surfuce of water. Father Grey nodded apologetically in John's direction, but it was not un- til the stick had been thrown, and Boxer, with a splash worthy of a Newfoundland bent upon salvage work, had plunged in after it, that speech became possible. r "You find me in difficulties again," | laughed the little priest, wiping his sandy fingers upon the hem of his 1 soutane. "Coming to the rescue, eh?" "No; Iwas not coming to the rescue. I wanted to tell you some- "Ah?" said Father Grey, glancing up with a touch of curiosity, for there was a curious smile upon the minis- ter's lips, and his voice, too, had about lit a ring which the other did not know how to classify. "Yes. I have come to tell you that| there is now noboby more remaining | to cry when I go out to battle." "When you go out to battle?" re- peated Father Grey, not comprehend- Soups made with milk furnish a wholesome nutrient rich in food value gince they contain all the nutri- tive value of the milk in addition to the vegetables and other ingredients used. The food is in easily digested form and when served with bread and butter furnishes all the necessary food elements for a balanced meal. There is no better way to utilize the left overs of the dinner; the tough parts of vegetables, the water in which vegetables are cooked, and they provide a food of such high value at so low a cost. Soups made from /&plit peas, green peas, beans, lentils or fish are richer than those made from celery, carrots, turnips, potatoes ar asparague, and a chowder makes a good substantial meal. Either canned or' salt fish in fish chowder when fresh fish is not available. The housewife whose shelves are supplied with cold-pack vegetables has first-class material for nourishing, delicious and inexpensive soups. The proportions for cream soups or soups made without meat are: About one-half as much vegetable pulp as milk or white sauce with' the addition of seasoning. If the vegetables used contain a large amount of starch, milk may be used without thickening and where there is water in which the vegetables were cooked an equal amount of vegetable water and pulp is used with the same amount of white sauce. The general directions for making cream soups are: Cook the vegetables in water until they are soft, then press through a coarse strainer and add the water in which 'they are cooked to the pulp that comes through the strainer. Make the white sauce just befofe serving time and combine the vege- table pulp, with the white sauce after the sauce has cooked up. Do hot let the soup stand long before sery- ing as it is likely to thicken "too much, Serve very hot with crackers or bread cut in half-inch cubes and toasted a delicate brown. To make a richer soup an egg, slightly beaten, or a few teaspoonfuls of whipped cream may be added to the soup just before serv- ing. To make the white sauce use two tablespoonfuls of fat, one tablespoon- ful of flour to each cup of milk and season to taste. Mix the flour with an equal quantity of cold water or milk and stir until smooth, then add enough more milk to make it pour easily. Heat the rest of the milk in a double boiler (never boil the.milk) and when hot all through add the flour mixture gradually and stir con- stantly as the mixture thickens. Add the butter and-geasoning and let cook ten or fifteen minutes. ! Cream of Pea Soup.--1 pint can peas, 1 pint cold water, 1 teaspwonful sugar, 1 quart thin white sauce. Method same as stated above. Cream of Corn Soup.--1 pint can of corn, 1 pint cold water, 1 small slice onion, 1 quart thin white sauce. Me- thod same as stated above.

He was beginning, to understand; and he had classified! ! the tone as one of secret triumph. "But your daughters? Your-son?"| i "My son has gone out into the world. He does not need me, He, never has needed me, except once, for one hour. My daughters have both chosen husbands. One of them is| going out of my life for ever, to the ends the world."

Canker worms begin to ascend trees as soon as frost is out of the ground attacking orchard and shade trees, particularly apple, elm, pear, chestnut, hickory, oak, maple, box elder, cherry and plum. The canker worms are the most common of the measuring worms that loop up in the middle. Spray with arsenate of lead, three pounds to a barrel of water, applied as soon as the foliage is fairly ex- panded and before the trees bloom, with a second spraying as soon as the flowers drop. The first spraying, if well done, will usually be sufficient. Encircling the trees with bands of sticky paper which the female cannot cross will prevent them from ascend- ing the trees and depositing 'their eggs. Get the bands on the trees this month, Place a band of cotton around the tree and cover this with a strip of building paper six inches wide, over which the sticky band should be plac- ed. « A sticky preparation sold by seeds- amen, called tanglefoot, may be applied directly to the tree. It is quickly applied and thoroughly effective. fp en Clrrant jelly will flavor and icing delightfully.
