Why be content with inferior tea. A PLEASANT WAY It is impossible for a great many teachers to have a hot meal at home. Such a lunch is greatly missed, es- pecially in cold weather. Sometimes & number of them try to persuade some woman who lives near the school to supply this need. The chief objec- tion that homemakers have to earning -money- in this way is that they think | the teachers cannot pay enough to make the venture worth while. Some women, however, can manage to make & nice little sum each week. One such woman recelves 80 cents & plate. To make as much as possible, she hes to remind herself often of a number of things: To adapt the meals to the weather; to use the fruits and Vegetableo that are in season; to make each dish so atractive that its appear- ance gives pleasure; to use "what would otherwise go to waste in the garden; to do all the baking, having the oven full each time and planning the next day's meals so every bit of fuel is used to the best advantage; to prepare for the family dinner at night pretty much what is served to the teachers at noon; and to keep the table always immaculate and attractive, This woman uses linen cloths, paper napkins and a variety of inexpensive garnishes.

"Strangled, miss!" the butlers hoarse accents breathed in Margaret's ear. "The marks are on his throat, plain to see--purple ones." Margaret took the marks for grant- ed and, having recognized the body, did not glance at it again, A swift decision was called for. "All of you but Jevons get. away, J» she ordered. "Jevons!" "Yes, miss?" "Have you been round to see how this person and his assailant can have entered the house?" "There hasn't been time to look everywhere, miss, but the catch of one of the French windows in the study has been broken." This bit of news was balm to Mar- garet's tortured soul. "Well, this is what you must do," she issued instructions. "Send some one down to the inn and let him ask for Inspector Roake, the officer who is investigating my poor father's mur- der. The messenger must inform him that a man has been found here strangled, and request him to come up to the Grange at once. I will go and finish dressing, so to receive' the Inspector when he arrives." "What about breakfast, miss?" "Send something up to my aunt in her bedroom and discreetly break to her what has happened. Mary can bring me up something to my room." "Of all the nerve!" the butler mut- tered as, greatly marveling at his mistress' composure, he hastened away to obey her orders. But there would have been no such cause for marvel could he have seen her when she was once again in the privacy of her own room. Throwing herself on the bed, she stared at the ceiling, and, though no tears came, her frame was shaken with gusty sobs. She was all unstrung, but sud: denly she sat up and laughed. "Thank God for that French win- dow!" she murmured. "It doesn't matter what Roake thinks. He fis sure to think that Guy was hiding outside the house and that he broke in to find food and incidentally killed Blissett. --in public." The forecast turned out to be right. Roake's attitude towards the latest mystery was declared by him with brutal bluntness directly she was alone with him in the study. "You and I have got to have an understanding, Miss Lathrop," he be- gan, "You alone know that I came here yesterday evening and installed Blissett in the house. You are aware why I did it--that tray with Sir Guy's supper on it. Well, we will both for- get all about" that the Yard fell down that way. The story for the world is 'that Blissett picked up some clue on his own and came to verify his sus- picions, meeting his death at 'the hands of the person he suspected. Slightly amended, that is just what has happened.

"Of course the tray is there," map per Roake. . "You ure playing the giddy monkey with me, but I' shall get you, my lady, as an accessory, it you are not careful." Margaret surveyed the mean £a0e critically. "I don't suppose you care what you say when there are no Wit- nesses," she remarked. "If, for in- stance, I were to report your threats to the Commissioner at Scotland Yard you would deny that you had used them?" Roake saw that he had gone too far, and he apologized with a clumsy attempt at geniality. Margaret appeared to accept that. She abruptly changed her line of argument. But she had a poser to ut. P "If your silly search for Sir Guy is to be kept out of the inquiry, " she said, "unless the Coroner is an solute idiot he will wonder why my "Strangled, miss," the butler's accents breathed into Mar- garet's ear, een, SG cousin will not have returned home when Blissett's murder is reported in the newspapers." "Perhaps Sir Guy will return be- fore the inquest," grinned Roake. He felt that that was a trap worthy of his acumen, But Margaret was too wary to fall into it. "I am sure I hope he will," she declared. "It is a large order for a girl to have "a murder in the house and no man to help her." . CHAPTER XIV. Margaret sought relief from the ghastly memories of the morning in a stroll to the pillage. There she met "The Reverend Charles Danvers," who quietly sug- '| gested 'a little walk along a little fre- quented road. There she confided to him ail that she knew about the night's mystery, and told "him about Guy's presence. To her intense relief he was not angry with her for her silence as to Sir Guy's return and concealment in the priest hole. "I guessed that he was the chap who startled off the midnight mar- auder at your window and that you had got him up your sleeve," he smiled amiably. Nor did he grow excited when she filled out her narrative with an ac- count of Roake's domiciliary visit, of his installment of Bissett in charge of the premises and of his assertion . | that Guy had murdered tective duting the night.

"He was busy with his teeth, eh? And something snapped just before he made a bolt for it?. He had prob- ably been tied up~and had succeeded in" gnawing through his bonds when you opened on him." "Yes, but where can Guy be?" de- manded Margaret. "That is my chief concern. That brute may have killed him as well as Blissett." "But who trussed him up and shut him into the secret chamber only known to your cousin and yourself?" asked Kilyne. "It fs much more lel that Sir Guy eaught him on the prow and made a prisoner of him. In the meanwhile I must go into the matter of the finger-marks. That is more than ever important--by the light of your latest experience." (To be continued.) BN a i rd The Fires Before * Troy.

As matters stand at the present time, no seusible reasons ean be given any more why everyone should not take some real, practical interest in music, either as a student, a player, Real interest fn music is not proved sional knowledge or who are or are not the most successful singera or instrumen- talists of the day. Love for music and real understanding for what consti tutes an all-round knowledge of music ae must be awakened in the minds of our future generation. The seeds must be laid In our schools and public institutions of learning, our children must be taught how and what to sing, and they should be taught en masse how to play musjcal instru- ments. If they are taught and trained how to sing, play and appreciate good music, if they begin to realize that such accomplishment will Increase their daily and future happiness, they will continue their efforts at home, and when once Introduced into the in- timate home circles and enocuraged and essisted by the grown folks, the child will quickly develop a natural and lasting preference for its music. And this ing of the child mind, this awakening of the proper under standing for music, not as a piece of drudgery, but as an accomplishment to. create happiness is, what in time will bring us that army of willing, en- thusiastic co-operators, of which we are still so much in need. It will be productive of a racé of music lovers who will be interested in every phase of the art, in its hi its current and past literature, its technical and 'emotional possibilities and, above all, factor in the home life of our nation, .

In my opinion singing is an integ- ral part of a man's healthy functions, Every child wants to sing. It is a na- less he tries to imitate someone else. The tragedy of it is that most child ren when they grow. up either stifle this desire or develop artificial meth- ods of singing. Instead of singing es they did in their childhood, they close their throats and hold in their breath. Nothing could be worse for them, It everyone could be persuaded to sing freely in the way that Nature in- tended him or her to do, I feel sure prove TE Classical Words. We have borrowed so many that it has lately been calculated that as many as one-fourth of the words which we can find in a full-sized Latin dic. tionary have found their way directly | or indirectly into the English vocabu- lary. A large number of these are Greek words which the Romans had taken from them. Thus, taking into account those Greek words which have come to us by other channels, Greek and Latin form a very large and a very important part of the English language. 'All through the history of our nation the two threads can be seen running together. At first sight they appear to be so inextricably twisted round one another as to form but one solid cord, but . . . it is not so dif "ficult to unravel them, The fact, for instance, that ital, and prison are Latin, while church and school have only come through Latin from the Greek, is symbolical of the: two main divisions into which the | classical part of our language falls; for words which are genuinely of Lat in origin--unless they have to trans late the thoughts of Greek writers--- Are very often concerned with the ma- 000 per year, DEATION.
