Into the parsonage she went frequently to show that there was nothing in her heart to prevent her visiting her old friends as had been her wont. "John will be down here next week," said the parson, whom she met on the gravel drive just at the hall door. "How often he comes! What do _ they do at the Horse Guards, or _ wherever it is that he goes to?' "'He'll be more steady when he has taken a wife," said the old oman... "In the meantime what becomes of the cavalry?' "T dare say you'll know all about that before long," said the parson laughing. 3 "Now, my dear, how can you be so foolish as to fill the girl's head with nonsense of that kind?' said Mrs. Rossiter, who at that moment came out from the front door. "And you're doing John an injus- tice. You are making people be- lieve that he has said that which he has not said." Alice at the moment was very angry--as angry as she well could be. It was certain that Mr. Rossi- ter did not know what her son had said or had not said. But it was cruel that she who had put for- ward no claim, who had never been forward in seeking her lover, should be thus almost publicly rebuked. Quiet as she wished to be, it was necessary that she should say one word in her own defence. "I don't think Mr. Rossiter's little joke will do John any. injustice. or me any harm,"' she said. '*But, as it may be taken seriously, I hope he will not repeat it." "He could not do better for him- self. That's my opinion," said the old man, turning back into the house. There had been words be- fore on the subject between him and his wife, and he was not well pleased with her at this moment. "My dear Alice, I am sure you know that I mean everything the best for you," said Mrs. Rossiter. ~------ CHAPTER II. -- "Perhaps he is coming here to see Miss Wanless," Alice had said to herself. And in the course of that week she found that her sur- mise was correct. John Rossiter stayed only one night at the par- sonage, and then went over to Brook Park, where lived Sir Wan- less and all the Wanlesses.. The parson had not so declared when he told Alice that his son was com- ing, but John himself said on his arrival that this was a special visit made to Brook Park, and not to Beetham. It had been promised for the last three months, though only fixed lately. He took the trouble to come across to the doc- tor's house with the express pur- pose of explaining the fact. "I suppose you have always been in- timate with them," said Mrs. Dug- dale, who was sitting with Alice and a little crowd of the children round them. There was a tone of sarcasm in the words not at all hid- den. a great deal finer than we mere village folk. We don't know the Wanlesses, but of course you do. "You'll find yourself much more at home at Brook Park than you can in such a place as this." All that, though not spoken, was contained in the tone of the lady's speech. "We have always been neigh- bors," said John Rossiter. "Neighbors ten miles off!' said Mrs. Dugdale. . "T dare say the Good Samaritan lived thirty miles off," said Alice. "T don't think distance has much to do with it," said the Major. "T like my neighbors to be neigh- borly. I like Beetham neighbors,' said Mrs. Dugdale. There was a reproach in every word of it. Mrs. Dugdale had heard of Miss Geor- gina Wanless, and Major Rossiter knew that she had done so. After her fashion the lady was accusing him for deserting Alice. Alice understood it also, and yet it behooved her to hold herself well up and be cheerful. "I like Bee- tham people best myself,' she said, "If nobody would mean anything, | "but then & is because I don't know but just let me alone, that would! any other.. I remember going to be best.

"But even to rise by merit, so much outside assistance is often necessary!

The cooking of food has much to do with its nutritive value. Many articles which, owing to their me- chanical condition or other causes, are quite unfit for nourishment when raw are very nutritious when iu is also a matter of common ex- perience that a well cooked food is wholesome and appetizing, while the same material badly cooked is unpalatable. There are three chief purposes of cooking. The first is to change the mechanical condition s0 that the digestive juices can act upon the food more freely. Heating often changes the struc- ture of food materials very materi- ally, so that they are more easily chewed and more easily and thor- oughly digested. The second is to ing the appearance or flavor, or both. . Food which is attractive to the taste quickens the flow of saliva and other digestive juices, and thus di- gestion is aided. The third is to kill by heat any disease germs, parasites or other dangerous or- ganisms it may contain. This is of- ten a very important matter, and applies to both animal and vege- table foods. The cooking of meats develops the pleasing taste and odor of ex- tractives and that due to the The annual allocation of the With the advent of cold weather will come the regular fall : "colds."
