"Is it that you would rather not be seen with me?" With a rush of eagerness she ans- wered; "No â€" oh, no! Please do not believe that, Duncan'." "Then let us get along," he said shortly, and tramped on. Accepting the inevitable, she kept by his side, not without a certain in- ward trepidation, since a meeting would undoubtedly be awkward. Yet what choice had she in the matter? Only the choice of offending him again by flatly refusing his escort; and .she was feeling far too glad of having made her peace with this so unman- ageable man â€" a gladness which at this moment amounted to light-heart- edness â€" to court that danger so soon again.

Unholy rites in lonely places, the assumed form of both four-footed and feathered beasts, all this was put down to her account.

' There are two factors to be remem- bered when cooking meat: | First. When making soups, broths and teas, the meat is placed in cold water and brought slowly to boil and then cooked on the simmering burner : at a temperature of 106 to 180 de- I grees Fahrenheit.

But for all that she writhed under the spiritual threats of the man of no imagination, and submitted to the ex- tent of never positively confirming the legend concerning her own lame- ness, though not to the point of ad- mitting â€" as he would have her do â€" that nothing more occult than "the rheumatics" forbade her putting her foot to the ground. At this humiliat- ing confession she stopped short, to- day as always, while the dar)<ness of the hints which she allowed to hover around the subject, and which, issuing from the depths of the cavernous bed, gained considerably in darkness, might be supposed to reconcile con- science and desire.
