As she went up the etaire she looked over the rail and saw Stafford‘s tall figâ€" ure striding down the hall. He was softly pulling the terrier‘s cars and talking to it in the language dogs understand and love; and when she eank into a chair in her room, his face with its manly tenderâ€" ness was still before her, his deep musicâ€" al voice, with its note of protection and euccor, etill rang in her ears. She eat quite motionless for a minute or two, then she rose and went to the glass and dooked at herself; a long, intent look. "Â¥Yes, I am beautiful," she murmured, not with the selfeatiefaction of vanity, but with a calculating note in her voice, "Am Iâ€"am 1 beautiful enough?"

"‘The Living Sphinx of Egypt,"‘ such was the title once bestowed upon Lord Cromer, the great proâ€" consul and maker of modern Egypt, who at the moment of writâ€" ing is reported to be lying seriously ill at his London residence. _ Lord Cromer used quick and darâ€" ing methods in dealing with Egypâ€" tian risings. At one time Cairo was almost openly disaffected, and the British garrison was small. His lordship, however, caused it to be known that a regiment was on the way from India, but he was careful not to explain that it consisted of sickâ€"leave and timeâ€"expired men and bandsmen. P § All the ableâ€"bodied soldiers in garrison were ordered to parade all over the town in emall parties, and the natives did not take in the fact that they were a sort of stage army â€"the same men over and over again. The last straw was when Lord Cromer coolly put on flannels and publicly played game after game of tennis. This final piece of bravado nipped the threatened ris: ing in the bud. Lord Cromer. Several times during his early days in Egypt Lord Cromer‘s life was in danger. An English visitor who resembled him was found stabâ€" bed to death, having been killed in mistake for the great proâ€"consul ; while on another occasion a dervish was found to have a knife concealed in a petition which he was about to present to his lordship. . . And it was because he was alâ€" ways a man of deeds, not words, that Lord Cromer became known as the "‘Sphinx of Egypt.‘‘ He made himself a power in Egypt which adâ€" mitted of no rivalry, and, although in 1883, when he was chosen agent and Consulâ€"General, highlyâ€"placed Egyptians told him it would be impossible to do away with bribery‘ and the buying and eelling of jusâ€" tice in the land, the answer was, "I am here to change all that.‘"‘ Lord Cromer once went to the Khedive to demand the instant disâ€" missal of a bigh official who was the Khedive‘s intimate friend. Enraged at the request, the Kheâ€" dive refused pointâ€"blank to dismiss him. ‘"‘Well," Lord Cromer reâ€" plied, quite coolly, ‘"unless I have an order of dismissal in five minâ€" utes I will go and cable to England at once that I am coming home. That will mean your t_iethrone- ment.‘‘ And before Lord Cromer left the palace he had in his pocket the order he had demanded from the despotic Khedive. A Young Diplomat. "Pa, would you be glad if I savéed you a dollar !"‘ * "I certainly would, my son.‘"‘ ‘‘Well, you remember you promâ€" ised if I brought a good report from my teacher you‘d give me a dollar, and I didn‘t."

The romantic story of a clown‘s love for a beautiful equestrienne, her reâ€" jection of his ridiculous suit and his terrible revenge, has recently drifted to St. Petersburg. Mile. Fleurette was the principal horsewoman, as well as the prgclpa.l attraction, in an obscure wandering circus, which recently came to Kasau, a small town on the Volga. She was beautiful, graceful and an exâ€" quisite rider. No one dreamed that she would figure in a terrible real tragedy of unrequited love. Mirko Festelich was & ‘clown ifi the same circus company: Hewas a J)lain. simâ€" pleâ€"hearted man, who looked seriously on foolery as the means of ;a living, and he was usually such an orthodox buffoon that no one had the remotest idea that he, too, would figure with the fair Fleurette {n the tragedy which has shocked the townspeople. Romantic Tale Comes From Wanderâ€" ing Circus in Russian Town. â€"_ The military officers of Kasan brought Mlle. Fleurette flowers, gave their cheers and offered hber their hearts. Bhe graciously actepted all their tributes, save the hearts. To all wouldâ€"be suitors she was adorablé but distant. * 10 â€" Treated It as a Joke. _ Among the worshippers was poor Festelich The man was too poor to give her flowers, and as it was part of his business to cast loving looks toward Mlle. Fleurette while she was performing, no one ever suspectâ€" ed the sincere love which lay behind the motley.> His loud applause was never understoodâ€"not . even by the equestrienne herself. The little serâ€" vices which he rendered her in the ring were regarded merely as absurd burlesque. ; s At last he summoned up sufficient courage to propose to her. She reâ€" garded his stammering protestations with amusement. "You are a clown," she said; "your business is to joke with everybody; so I take your declarâ€" ation as a joke." _ l s Just then the bell rang for the perâ€" formance. Poor Festelich, too heartâ€" broken at his failure to notice the gibes of an attendant who had overâ€" heard his declaration of love, went into the ringâ€"to make the people laugh A Madman‘s Joke. He succeeded. He surpassed himâ€" self. There was madness in his brain. Caustic witticisms, such as he had never before uttered, poured from him. The people cheered him, thinking him a genfus. â€" Never had they heard such brilliantly pungent jokes. Never had he smacked the heads of the attenâ€" dantsâ€"specially the head of the one who gibed himâ€"with such zeal. When be approached Mlle. Fleurette and bent as if to whisper in the ear of her horse, the people waited in tense silonce for another of his brilâ€" lant jokes. But he uttered no word. Instead, the horse suddenly plunged forward and became unmanageable, even by the accomplished Fleurette. her Three times the maddened animal tore around the ring;> then it turned a somersault, bur â€".its bedutiful rider beneath it, cru life from Men ran to the rescus, but Festelich was there before them.â€" He was laughâ€" ing and dancing at the sideâ€"of the dead Fleurette, and when heâ€" cried, "My business is to joke with everyâ€" oneâ€"even with horses," people knew him for a madman. > _ He had placed a lighted cigarette in the horse‘s ear. It was his last joke, for on the way to the)jpolice station he committed suicide. When the Eskimos Select Husbands . and Wives. A very primitive custom of the naâ€" tives of the Bering and arctic coasts of Siberia, a custom that has come down from generations of savage anâ€" cestors, is the annual celebration of the whale dance, when the Eskimos select their wives. When the sun moves southward at the end of the short summer season, and the ice closes up the northern sea, the whales come down to open water. Then in celebration of the season‘s catch, the ice dwellers assemble for the whale dance, which lasts twentyâ€" one days. _ _ We yO The great dance circie is prepared,| and in the centre the dancers, both: male and female, perform the most savage of evolutions and motions to the accompaniment of rhythmless beating of the tomtoms and weird chanting. The dance songs tell of the prowess of the hunters and of the hisâ€" tory of the tribe. The movements of the women are surprisingly graceful, and they mean to show in their dance that, as daughters of a great people, they are possessed of all the qualities such women should have. The men execute pantomimic® scenes of the hunt, and go through all the motions of the kill: they: spear the ice bear, slay the walrus and seal, and finally, with extraordinary contortions, vanâ€" quish the mighty wpale. o+ During the last days of the feast, when the time arrives for the selecâ€" tion of husbands and wives, the man performs his mate dance before the woman he has picked out. In pantoâ€" mime he promises to provide her genâ€" erously with the fruit of the hunt, both food and fur. If she is pleased with him, she walks out and dances her acceptance, and shows how she will look after the igloo. When they have danced before each other, they are married after the custom of the tribe, and he leads her off to his walrusâ€" ‘hide lodge. * § During the dance they feast on whale. The skin of the baleen whale is about an inch thick, and looks like rubber. â€" The solid blubber between it and the true flesh is usually about fourteen inches thick. The black skin and the blubber, the latter cut to the thickness of the former, is called mokâ€" tuk, and is considered a great delicacy. It is eaten raw, and although 1t sounds repulsive to the civilized ear, is most palatable. It has a flavor something like that of chestnuts.

Lemon Cheese Sandwich.â€"Put a quarter of a pound of butter, _ a pound of sugar, the juice of three lemons and the grated rind of two into a pan and allow them to beâ€" come very hot until the sugar melts. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Then put it into jars and cover them and keep them in a cool place. Epread between slices of bread for a dainty picnic sandwich or for afternoon tea. This same lemon cheese can be used in layer cake or in dainty shells of puff paste _ Bardine Sandwiches, â€" Brown bread makes excellent sardine sandwiches. Make a paste of sarâ€" dines, the contents of a can with one anchovy, one ounce of butter and cayenne pepper, salt and mace to taste. * Ms h Minced Meat Sandwiches. â€" A tempting filling for sandwiches is comprised of twoâ€"thirds minced chicken. and oneâ€"third minced ham and tongue chopped _ together. Moistened with mayonnaise dressâ€" ing and spread on white bread with lettuce leaves, it is a delicacy. _ Gold Sandwiches.â€"Rub the yolks of three hardâ€"boiled eggs to a paste. Add two tablespoons of olive oil, mixing . with a silver fork. Now add a pinch of mustard. cayâ€" enne pepper and salt, and lastly one tablespoon of vinegar. When this is thoroughly mixed, add one cup of grated yellow cheese. Spread on white buttered bread. Fig Sandwiches.â€"Between slices of buttered graham bread spread figs which have been chopped to a smooth paste. ‘The bread must not be cut too thin and the sandwiches if they would be kept moist and palatable,â€" should be wrapped in moistened tissue paper. x: Where There Are Eggs.â€"Many persons do not know how to hardâ€" boil an egg properly, and conseâ€" quently have come to believe that because the white is tough and the yolk discolored the egg is indigesâ€" tible. An egg should be put into warm water and left until the waâ€" ter is about 200 deg. Fahr. Then it should be left 30 minutes and dashed into cold water and peeled. After this process the egg will be mealy and the white will be hard and firm without being tough. Never let a hardâ€"boiled egg cool in the water. Sardines in Eggs.â€"Allow 0ne1 sardine for each hardâ€"boiled egg. Cut the eggs lengthwise and remove the yolks. Remove the skin and bones from the sardines. Make a paste of the yolks, the sardines, a little minced parsley, melted butâ€" ter and pepper and salt to taste. Fill the whites of the eggs with this mixture and put two whites toâ€" gether. Garnish with fresh waterâ€" cress. Eggs with Ham.â€"Mince boiled ham and mix it with the yolks from hardâ€"boiléd eggs, with a little musâ€" tard and cream. Then fill the egg whites generously, rounding each off. Wrap in waxed paper to carry. Beverages.â€"Grape juice, lemons, tea and fruit juices can all be used for delicious punches if there is ice and plenty of good water. TIced coffee, too, with whipped cream, is delicious. _ Children like _ raspâ€" berry shrub, which is made in this way : Take eight quarts of fresh berries, one pint of acetic acid and four quarts of water. Put these into a stone jar and let stand for 48 hours, stirring it occasionally. To one quart of the juice add one pound of sugar, boil 15 minutes and bottle while hot. When the liquid has cooled in the corked bottles open and refill them ; pound the corks in very tight. If this liquid is to be kept any length of time, cut the cork off close to the bottle and dip it in hot wax to seal it. . Cold Meats.â€"Cold meats can be served as they are, or in sandâ€" wiches. A ham is almost essential to good picnic fare. Veal loaf, too, is delicious in sandwiches, and pressed chicken is one of the cold meats that can be carried and slicâ€" ed at the picnic. _ % Baked Ham.â€"Soak a whole ham in cold water over night, remove and cover the lean side with a paste of smoothly mixed flour and water, taking care that it is of sufâ€" ficient thickness to keep in all the meat juice. Bake in a moderate oven 25 minutes for every pound. Remove the case, then skin ; cover the top brown. _‘Veal Loaf.â€"Three pounds of chopped veal,; oneâ€"quarter pound chopped pork, one_tgnopcgpn'ful pepâ€" per, two teaspoonfuls salt, one cup bread crumbs, two well beaten eggs. Mix well, press in a square form and bake 14 hours. For sandwiches a perfectly square mold cuts to the best advantage. Pressed â€" Chicken.â€"Boil â€" three fowls until the meat comes off t‘he‘ bones easily. Remove all the bones and chop the meat up fine, add a piece of melted butter the size of a large egg. Beason highly with salt and pepper. Take about one pint of the liquor in which the fowls were boiled, add to this half a box of gelatine and let it dissolve. Put the chicken meat into & saucepan and add the dissolved gelatine and cook until the broth is evenly disâ€" tributed. Put into a pan and under a heavy nress until perfectly cold. e rsreer Ginger Snaps.â€"One pint molasâ€" ses, one cup brown sugar, one cup butter and lard, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in oneâ€"fourth cup water, one tablespoonful ginger and fliour enough to roll soft and thin. Bake in a quick oven. Chocolate Coo&es. â€" Mix one small cup of butter, two cups of eugar, four eggs, one cup ‘grated with bread crumbs and ie ONTARIO chocolate, three cups flour, one teaâ€" spoonful vanilla. Roll very thin and bake in quick oven,. If the chocolate is melted, it will mix betâ€" ter with the batter. _ & For a layer cake, try the oldâ€" fashioned _ Devil‘s Food, which somehow always pleases children. The receipt is threefourths of a cup of chocolate, one cup of brown sugar and oneâ€"half cup of sweet milk. Bet this back on the stove to dissolve.
