Circular* upon e<juest AND CbRPOROTONBONDS Mr. Jack Fcnner, emerging from his sitting -room on the first floor of Mrs. Poskett's apartment house, began to descend the stairs. Five seconds later he had retreated pre- cipitately back up the stairs oaid Bought the sanctuary of his room again, while, outside the closed door, a yapping, furry little fury darod him to come out again. "Littlo brute!" exclaJraed Fcn- ner, angrily. "If there's one kind of dog I do object to above all oth- ers, it's a pom ! I wonder who brought it here? Anyway, either that goee or I do !" On the other aide of the door, the baffled MiiaJ! dog was levelling a scries of vicioue insults at its craven quarry. Presently the shrill barking ceased, and Mr. Fenner, after a cautious reconnoitre, began once more to descend th stairs. But his foe, evidently skilled in the art of warfare, was waiting in ambush be- hind a curtain on the landing. Hence thore was an instant of wild confusion ; then Mr. Foiiner caress- ed his ankle, while his triumphant foe scuttled joyously downstairs. "I-I'll break your blessed neck!" raved Mr. Fenner furiously. "Lot me get hold of you, and I'll " He stopped abruptly, for, alarm- ed at the clamor, a girl had come out of the dining-room on the ground floor, and was peering up in surprise at the furious Fenner. "What ever is the matter?" she demanded coldly. "He he bit me!" exclaimed Fenner, a little disconcerted. "He was only trying to play with you," she replied, in tones of scorn. "Trying to play with me?" rcho- ed Ft-nner. "Why. the little brute chai>d me upstairs, and " Again he stopped, for the girl, ig- noring liim completely, picked up Uio cause of the contention and fondled it in her arms. "Did the nasty, horrid man tell Btorirs about you, then?" she in- quired affectionately, addressing the dog. Sweet Bits of Corn Skilfully cooked Post Toast ies At Your Service.

"Well!" breathed Fenner, help- lessly. "That's about the limit! Either that wretched dog goes, or else " And for the third time he left his sentence unfinished; though, curi- ous to relate, ho had cea&ed to look angr/. "She can't be a day more than twenty," he remarked to himself, with apparent irrelevance. "And a neat little figure, too 1" "I "card what 'appened this morning, Mr. Fenner," said Mrs. Poskett regretfully, as she prepared the table for lunch. "And very sor- ry I am it should 'ave 'appened. Mind you, I feared unpleasantness as soon as ever they told me they'd got a dog with 'em." 'Oh, thiere's no need to mention it, Mrs. Pokett," he returned eas- ily. "Dogs will be dogs, you know." "Very good of you to take it like that, sir," said the landlady. "Of course, you've been with me a long time now ; ao if you says the dog must go, why, the party that owns it must 'ave notice. That's all there is to say about it." "Oh, no, they mustn't go!" ex- claimed. Fenner, eagerly. "I I don't mind the dog a bit. Jolly little boggar, I should say when you know it better." "Then that's all right," said the landlady, with relief. "Oh, by the way, Mrs. Poskett." remarked Fenner, "who are these new people you've got down- stairs?" "Came last evening, sir. Name of Cartwright widow lady and 'or daughter." "And what is r the daughter's name?" _ "Sylvia, sir." "Sylvia!" breathed Mr. Fonner, raptly, and a look half of amuse- ment and half of nhrewd suspicion, flashed into the landlady's eyes. By profession Mr. Fenner was an author, and so did all his work in his rooms. On this circumstance he now congratulated himself, for it afforded him plenty of chances of encountering Miss Cartwright in tho hall below. To that end he haunted the hall that evening, but nothing came of it. "I suppose it wouldn't do to ask Mrs. Potikett to introduce us?" he pondered. "And they'd be sure to see through it if I went in and er asked how the dog was after this morning's excitement. Wonder what I can do?" Ho was still wondering, whon tho ( door of the dining-room opened. : Instantly Mr. Jack Fenner's oour- , age deserted him, and he began to retreat up the stairs. "Jack!" invitingly called the voice of Misa Cartwright. "Jack !" Mr. Fonncr turned and came downstairs again, trembling with delicious excitement. "Yes?" he asked, eagerly. Dim a* was the light in the hall, j he could see that she was surveying him with frigid mein. "I I thought yo called me?" 1 he stammered. "I was calling my dog," she ex- | plained icily, and Fen.ner went up- ; stairs again, a crushed man. Hut during the sleepless night that fol- I lowed, he evolved a plan, not only ; to gain the acquaintance of Miss | Cartwright, but to win her grati- \ tude as well. "Seems to be a sort of case of 'love me, love my dog,' " he rea- soned with himself. "She's fear- fully keen on that, little beggar, and if it got !,<>* t" Mr. Fennet smiled wickedly "they'd be no end grate- ful to the chap^who found it." On theo premises Mr. Fenner laid his plan carefully. A slice- of bacon, secreted from liig breakfast, was cut into quarters. Caution , made, him dun boots and glove* of extra tliiekn.p:i. Thus equipped, Mr. Fennor put on bis hat and carried out oout- like taotica on the stairway. Chance waa plainly favoring him. The dining-room was empty save for the dog slumbering on the hearthrug. Mr. Fenner opened the front door and prepared to put his plan into execution. "Hist, Jack!" he called softly. The small dog scented battle at once, and rushed joyously to meet it. Quickly Mr. Fenner extended a propitiatory gift in the shape of a morsel of baoon. The dog accepted it without prejudice, and, having disposed of it, prepared ungrate- fully to renew the attack. A second taste of bacon mollified it, and the third quarter displayed by Mr. Fenner, was sufficient to lure it through the front door and out to the pavement. So far, so good. Mr. Fenner had now merely to coax the dog up the road, and, just round the corner, there was a friendly stableman, who would keep the dog prisoner jintil the time came for Mr. Fcnner to find" it. Already the third piece of bacon had drawn the dog up the street, but at the corner it jibbed. Mr. Fenner coaxed most enticingly, but it declined to round that corner. "Come along, good doggie, then 1" exclaimed Mr. Fenner win- ningly, and dangled tho baoon be- fore it. And then something made him look up. Misa Cartwright and her mother had rounded the corner, and were watching him in breath- less amazement. "What are you doing with my dog?" asked the girl. Mr. Fenner, realizing that the snip of cold bacon in his fingers re- quired some explanation, smiled hollowly. "Feeding him!" he replied. "You're trying to cntico him away!" she asserted hotly. Ouiltily, Mr. Fenner shook his head to intimate his horror at such a charge. "I I was only trying to get him used to me," said the wretched Fen- ner. "Well, I don't want him to get used to you, thanks!" she stated coldly. She picked up the dog, and stood eyeing Mr. Fenner for an intermin- able moment. Then, without fur- ther remark, she- and her mother continued on their way back to the house. "I'm getting on splendidly !" Mr. Fenner told himself bitterly. And for the next seven days he spent a miserable time. It did not even comfort him that the dog had now accepted him ao a friend, for Miss Cartwright appeared to consider that as a further proof of guilt, a>nd ostentatiously picked up the dog in her arms whenever she chanced to encounter Mr. Fenner. So that, af- ter all, he got but scant enjoyment from meeting her casually in the hall. Then come an evening when Mr. Fenner was sitting forlornly in his rooms, wondering how a lovesick young man could gain an introduc- tion to a young lady who clearly did no want to know him, when there tame a rap at his door. "Come in!" he called brokenly; and then sprang to his feet, for it was Miss Cartwright who entered-. "Oh, good-evening!" he exclaim- ed feverishly. "Lovely weather I I mean how do you do, Miss Cart- wright?" "I've lost my dog," she stated. "I say, I'm awfully sorry to hear ;hat. I'll go and look for it, if you ike, with tho greatest pleasure?" "Oh, please don't trouble," sh answered steadily "unless you know where to look!" she conclud- ed, pointedly. "I haven't the faintest idea," he said. "I mean, I might stumble across it. It must be somewhere, mustn't it? I'd do anything " Five minutes later he was wildly scouring the streets of London, his eye alert for a small block dog de- corated with a scarlet bow. But, though ho searched energe- tically for the better part of three hours, no glimpse of the vanished dog camo to cheer him, until, not three streets away from home, he saw the wanderer, trotting aimless- ly along the pavement. In a flash he had snatched it up, and waa walking swiftly back to Mrs. Poskeitt'a house. Joyously, he rapped at the door of the dining-room. "Come in I" called a voice. Mr. Fenner entered, and then life seemed to become to him as a puffed-out paper bag which had boon burst, for there before him sat Miss Cartwright, with her dog on her lap. Mr. Founer'a gaze passed blankly from one <log to the other. "Jock come home again not five minutes after you left!" Mifw Cart- wright informed him, and there wa,s the glint of a smile in her eyes. "But I mode sure this was Jock," said the crestfallen Fenner. "One little blaek dog is very like, another little block dog, especially in a dark street," pointed out Mrs. Cartwrigh't, sympathetically. A frenzied knocking came at the front door, and Mrs. Ponkatt has- tenoil to reply to the imperative summons. "My dog!" gasped a feminine voieo exhiui8elly. "My dog! I &eo 'im bring 'im in 'ore!" Mr. Fenner started. Involuntar- ily hi eye sought Miss Cartwright. She was smiling now in open en- joyment of the situation. "Snatched up my dog, 'e did!" continued the irate caller on the doorstep. "I see 'im do it I And follow 'im, I did, and I see 'im come in 'ere with my dog I" Evidently Mns. Poskett Bought to offer soothing words, but they were brushed aside. "Don't think I'll be turned aside from my purpose, ma'am," stated the caller. "I'll 'ave the lor on 'im, sure as sure! And, if 'e says 'e 'a*n't, I'll bring in the police and 'ave the place searched from attic to basement ! So now, then !" Mr. Fonner quailed at the ultima- tum, and stood helplessly waiting for what might happen. "What on earth can I do?" he groaned helplessly. "Why, go out and speak to her !" advised Miss Cartwright, still smil- ing. "Here, give me that dog. Now take Jock, and go out to her I" Mr. Fenner automatically obeyed her behest, a/nd stepped into the hall, with Jack in his arms. "Ah, there 'e is the dog- steal - er 1" exclaimed the caller, with sav- age relieh. "And with my Flossie in 'is arms!" "Pardon me!" said Mr. Fenner. "You appear to be htboring under a delusion. This dog's name is Jack." Carefully the lady examined Jack ; then she withdrew, rather dissatisfied, promising further in- quiries on the morrow. "Now, take her dog, and carry it as near home as you dare," direot- ed Misa Cartwright. "Here's the address on its collar '" To his surprise, when he had ac- complished his mission, Miss Cart- wright came out of the dining-room and thanked him effusively. "Perhaps," she suggested softly, "if you'd been more familiar with Jack's looks, you'd never have made tha mistake. Hadn't you bet- ter cotme in and liave a look at him now?" And Mr. Fenner went. Hence, as postscript, one has only to add that Jack is still one of his wife's dearest possessions the lucky dog! London Answers. The Exile. (Gordon Johnstone, in May Can- ada Monthly.) 'Tis me that's here a-digging in a dirty yellow street, A-rubbing elbows with a man that's neither black nor white, sir, And I'm that dead and fainting in this hole of stifling heat There's not a smile left in me; faith, I'll thank ye for a light, sir; And, oh, I do be hearing Tho linnets in a clearing Of the ould, ould sod. 'Tis me that do be climbing to a little box-like room, Shut in from God and heaven with the great roofs frown- ing over ; And not a primrose to be seen in all that darkening gloom, And not a breath of heather fields or whistle of a plover But, oh, that bed of rushes, And, oh, the morning thrushes Of the ould, ould sod. 'Tis me that's nightly drameing till 'tis time to go to work Of one as sweet and shyful as a rose what's that ye say, sir? 'Tis ye that has the same soft drames to haunt the whisp- ering murk? God bless ye both, avic machree, and hasten swift the day, sir; But ere he binds ye sweet, lad, I hope he'll plant me feet, lad, On the ould, ould, sod. OBLIGING.

BAKIXO POWDER MADE: i r-M CANADA CONTAINS NO At-UM CONFORMS TO THE HIGH STANDARD OF GILLETT'S GOODS BAKING POWDEK HOME Some Maple Dishes. Delicious desserts and sauces are made from maple sugar and maple syrup. The uyrup, of course, if kept in tightly closed jars or con- tainers, will be quite as rich in fla- vor next winter as now, but sugar even under the best of conditions, docs dry out. Maple parfait is simply made : Take the yolks of four eggs and beat very light ; gradually beat in a cup- ful of maple syrup, put the mixture into a double boiler and stir until it thickens so as to coat the spoon. Remove from the fire and add a pint of cream, whipped. Stir in half a pound of'walnut meats, place in a mold and pack in ice and Bait for four hours. This will serve ten or twelve people. Another parfait recipe calls for three-quarters of a cupful of maple syrup brought to a boil; then add the yolks of two eggs beaten stiff and cook till very thick. When cool, fold in a cupful of cre-am beat- en stiff and a little vanilla. Place in a mold and pack in salt and ice for three hours. Maple syrup rolls are delicious for tea. Make a crust of a pint of flour sifted twice with half a tea- spoonful of salt and two teaspoon- fuls of baking powder. Then add gradually a cupful of milk and three teaspoonfuls of melted butter. Roll out the dough till about an inch thick, spread with butter and cover with a cupful of maple sugar scraped fine and mixed with chopped citron and chopped wal- nuts to taste. Roll up like a rolled jelly cake, cut in slices an inch thick and bake in a moderate oven. For a filling for maple sugar ' cake, boil a cupful and a quarter of the syrup till it hairs ; then add an eighth of a teaspoonful of cream of j tartar and pour this on the beaten j white of an egg, beating all the time ;ill it is of a consistency to spread. Maple cocoanut pralines are made by mixing together a cupful of maple syrup, half a cupful of shred- ded cocoanut and two tablespoon- fuls of butter. Boil the mixture till it is a mass of bubbles ; pour on a buttered platter and mark when ' cool. An excellent pudding sauce is made by beating a cupful of maple syrup and then adding a tables spoonful of melted butter. Cook tor five minutes. If scraped maple sugar is used For sweetening whipped cream it will be found a delicious sauce for any pudding. Still another sauce is made by creaming butter and stirring in scraped maple sugar, in place of confectioners' sugar, till it is the right consistency. With the Pineapple. Canned Pineapple One and one- hadf pounds of granulated sugar, one quart water, six pounds of pine- apple cut in small pieces. Put al] together in a kettle and cook until pineapple can be easily pierced with a fork. Can hot. Fried Pineapple Bought pineap- ple, canned in slices, is excellent fried in butter, turning frequently until tender and browned to a gol- den color. Use as a garnish to meat, pork particularly. It takes the place of apples in that case and is delicious. Use no sugar. Goes well with a broiled steak, too. Home canned pineapples are just as good fried this way, only one must sprinkle on a little sugar to make them brown. Pineapple Salad Pineapples served upon lettuce with a French dressing or mayonnaise makes a de- lightful salad. Filling the cen- ters with cheese balls stuffed with nuts is an improvement on the fore- going. Pineapple Compote Dice pineap- ple, grape fruit, oranges, stoned white cherries, white grapes, can- died green and red cherries and a few dices of candied rhubarb make a charming compote. In preparing pineapple remove the eyes with a different knife than the one with which you slice and dice the fruit. There is an acid about pineapple eyes which causes sore mouth. The juice from pine-i apple is excellent for frozen ices. Combine with lemon to give the de-' sired tartness. If your child is not clever at hi lessons do not worry.
