When the interval expired, Sir Stephen and Stafford resumed their seat, and, with a eigh of relief, Ida tried to listen to the music; but she seemed to hear Stafâ€" ford‘s voice through it, and was obliged to shut her eyes that she might not see him. Instinctively, and from Joseph‘s deâ€" ecription, she knew that the beautiful girl, with the complexion of a lily and the wealth of bronzeâ€"gold hair, was Maude Falconer. Why was she with Sir Stephen and Stafford? Was it, indeed, true that they were engaged? Up to the present moment, «he had cherished a doubt; but now it seemed impossible to doubt any longer. For how many minutes, hours, years, would she have to sit with those two before her, her heart racked with the pangs of jeaiousy, with the memory _ of happier daye. with the ghastly fact that he had gone from her life for ever, and that ehe was sitting there a spectator of Ivis faithlessness. Every song seemed to mock her wretcheduess, and she had to. battle with the mad desire to spring to. her feet and cry aloud. ‘ for he‘s like him. He‘s almost as great a personage as Sir Stephen himeelf; you «ee his name amonget thoee of people of the highost rank in the fashionable columrs in the newspapers. The lady‘s got beautiful ‘air, hasn‘t she?" he went on, after a pauce. "Not that I admire that color myself; I‘m gone on black "aole." He _ glanced _ incinuatingly at "What‘s the matter?" ‘he asked. ‘"Do you feel ill? It‘s beastly hot. "Would you like to come outside?" "No, no," she panted, with difficulty. "It is the heatâ€"I am all right nowâ€"I beg of you not to moveâ€"not to speak to me." She fought against the horrible faintâ€" ness, againet the ehock which had overâ€" whe‘med her; she bit her lips to force the color back to them, and tried to kee&oher eyes from the tall figure, the handsome face against which she had eo often pressâ€" ed her own; but she could no: it was as if they were drawn to it by a kind of fas cination. She eaw that he looked pale and haggard, and that the glance with which he ewopt the house was a wearied one, in strange contrast to the emiling,. complacent, and even triumpbant one of his father. "Are you all richt now?" aaked Josenh. "Are you all right now?" asked Joseph. "I wish I‘d brought a bottle of amellingâ€" ealte. Will you come out and get someâ€" thing to drinkâ€"waterâ€"brandy? No? Sure you‘re all right? Did you see Sir Steâ€" phen? I wonder who the lady is beside him? Some ewell or other, I‘ll be bound. The other man must be Sir Stenhen‘s eon, Her hand gripped the operaâ€"glass tightâ€" ly, for it was in danger of falling. She felt as if she were «tifiing, the great place, with its sea of faces and its rings of electric light, swam before her eyes, and ehe felt sick and giddy. It scemed to her that Stafford was looking straight at her, that he could not fail to see her, and she chrank back as far as the seat would allow, and a sigh that was a gasp for breath escaped her lips, which had grown almost as white as her face. In taking the glaeses from her, Joseph noâ€" ticed her pallor. "What‘s the matter?" he asked. ‘"Do you feel ill? It‘s beaetly hot. ‘Would vou cor.e looked, a verified, f With looked quickn hair n im Lhowe summer evenings which, in some strange way, every song recalled.

I wonâ€" der who they are? They look claesyâ€" particularly so." Ida nodded mechanically, and paid no heed. Presently Joseph, who was one of those individuals â€"who can never sit still or be silent for long at a theatre or conâ€" cert, nudged Ida and said: "Look! there is one of them standing up! Why, I be lieve it isâ€"â€"‘" He borrowed an operaâ€" glaes from the man sitting in front of him and levelled it at the stalls. One of the newâ€"comers, one of the gentlemen, had rieen from his seat, ased with his back to the platform, was scanning the houce with a pleaeant emile on his handsome face. ‘"Yes, it is!" exclaimed Joseph, exâ€" citedly. "It‘s Sir Stephen Orme! _ Here, take the glrewes and look at him! That gentleman looking round the house, the one standing up with the white walstâ€" cout, the one that came in with the other two!

Examinations of the brain after death have shown a comes as an occas‘onal visitant to everyone, but as we shut our doors to unwelcome visitors, so we close the portals against the entrance of worry. Admitted, it ceases to be= come a visitorâ€"it is a habit, and a habit that destroys. The action of worry upon the brain cells is most like the constant dropping of water upon a stone. At first it makes not the slightest impression upon the stone, but in time it wears it away. The cells of the brain are of more delicate tissue, and the steady wear and tear of the extra blood supply in time quickly wears them out. The cure of the worry that kills is prevention. Refuse to worry. Do vour best, and, bhaviagâ€"done this, dacliae as positively to fret about the results as you would decline to brink a draught of poison. â€" Worry This one idea pounds hammerâ€" like upon one set of brain cells. It overâ€"stimulates them, causing an unusual flow of blood to those porâ€" tions and a dearth of it to other parts of the brain. This would not be serious if it happened only now and then, for every brain cell should be replenished by more than the usual flow of blood at times to keep it properly fed and nourished. Worry, medical science now deâ€" fines as the dominance of one idea, usually that of fear. There is a fear of some existing condition or dread of what may happen. The idea crowds all others from the mind, or permits them only the feeblest and occasional activity. The most terâ€" rible tyranny is the tyranny of an idea. fur F10 m o PSE OE "Oh, yes," said Joseph, with an ugly eneer and a scowl at Ida as she was leayâ€" ing the room, "we have had a very happy timeâ€"eome of usâ€"a particularly happy time, I don‘t think!"

Salt and vinegar are the essentials in preserving all such things, while the addition of some pieces of horseradish root make the keeping qualities the more certain, it is beâ€" lieved. Oil is sometimes added and both vinegar and oil are quite comâ€" monly put on cold when the cucumâ€" | bers are sliced. Here is an ancient recipe: Pare and slice oneâ€"half peck of cucumbers with oneâ€"half peck of onions, sprinkle layers of | | the two with salt and Jet stand uverl "night. Wash off salt the next mornâ€" ing and pack in stone jars in layâ€" ers, sprinkling over each layer of cucumber and onion a little white pepper, mustard seed, and porderâ€" ed cinnamon.

Household Hints. Shoes will last much longer â€"| â€" Cooked cucumber keeps its charâ€" 1| acteristic flavor, and may be made s | deliciously savory. It may be preâ€" â€"| pared in any of the ways vegetable ; | marrow is, and in some ways of its . own. In France the cucumber is | far more often cooked than not, ||and variously flavored and served ;|_Cooked Cucumbers. â€" Peel the |cucumbers carefully, removing but |a thin shaving, cut in quarters, and | then cut these pieces in half or dice them, removing the seeds. Cook for fifteen to twenty minutes in boiling salted water, to which has been added an onion or some celâ€" ery, or both, or some other vegeâ€" table flavor. If they are to be canâ€" ned they should not be cooked more than fifteen minutes. Serve with butter or cook them for a little in meat stock. The French commonly cook them in meat stock, which is thus reduced until quite brown and the cueumbers deliciously flavored, other vegetables being added for | this purpose. Those who do not | like the cucumber prepared in these | ways may find it agreeable if a litâ€" ide vinegar is added. The cooked lcucumbers may be put through a strainer and a cream soup made by "udding to the puree thus obtained hot milk and seasonings. Cooked Cueumber Saliad. â€" Cuâ€" cumber cooked as in the above reâ€" cipe and well seasoned makes an excellent salad when cold, if servâ€" ed with a French dressing. Canned cooked tomatoes put into thoroughâ€" Fried Cucumberssâ€"Cut in thin slices the cucumber may be fried as the Italians fry any of the long green gourds, with an onion cut thin and a sliced tomato to each cucumber. The cucumber cooks slowly in this way and the work must be done over a low fire. o Pe e lt ty o ue ly sterilized cans and later sterilizâ€" ed in can if necessary can be heated up and used as a vegetable or takâ€" en from the can and used as salad. The sterilization is the thing, the salted water in which the cueumâ€" bers are tboiled, a teaspoon of salt to a quart of water or two, if preâ€" [erred, can be used. Cooked cucumber is too little known among us, particularly at this season, when cucumbers ‘are abundant and often inexpensive. There seems to be a prejudice against it that is not altogether reasonable, especially among those who consider vegetable marrow, which it much resembles when cookâ€" ed, a delicacy. Probably, too, it is more digestible thus than in any other way it is ever used, which is not saying much. ® soon grows«â€"stagnant, this is not a method to recommend for keeping them, even for twartyâ€"four hours.

The commanding colonel, much incensed at the theft, had some native trackers trail the horses to the very village where the old dato held his primitive court.

It is true that a tourist often writes more interestingly about a place than its oldest inhabitant can. Arctic literature is _ interesting enough ; the trouble with it is its inaccuracy and exaggeration. An Eskimo reporter on a New â€"York daily might possibly write an amus ing account of a sultry July aftor noon in the tenement district, but would it be likely to be accurate? ’It would give a reader in Paris no very clear idea of the summer cliâ€" mate of New York ; neither do some of the documents of the Franklin Search give a strictly unimaginative account of the climate at sea level in the regions about 70 deg. north latitude. BHere and there in the book you read <f the terrible cold and the suffering it caused ; turn to the tabulated temperatures in the appendix, and you may find "â€"36 deg." correspeading to your day of horrors. No doubt it was horribly cold to a man who had grown to middle life in southern England, where the skating on small ponds is safe only in a "hard" winter. A Manitoban might forget to make a weather entry in his diary on a day that exhausted the Englishman‘s vocabulary. â€" Up to May, 1908, the lowest reâ€" corded temperature for Herschel Isâ€" land was â€"54 deg. Fahrenhoit ; for Manitoba, â€"55 deg. Fahreneit.. And yet the Manitoba cold seldom preâ€" vents the young people of the farms from riding in singing sledfuls to dances six or ten miles awayâ€"clad, too, in clothing that is not nearly so thick and warm as that which the poorest Eskimo wears in similar temperatures and under similar conditions. The Meteorological Bervice of Canada has regular observers, among other places, in Manitoba and at Herschel Island. Manitoba is an agricultural province, whose largest city has a population of nearly two hundred thousand, and with a climate that allows succe=sful grain farming wherever the soil is suitable.. Herschel Island is a whaleman‘s _ rendezvous about a thousand miles farther north:; its only permanent inhabitants are Es kimos ; it lies on the northern coast of our continent, far out of the way of any warm current from either the Atlantic or the Pacific, and yet for ten years its temperature has never fallen as low as the lowest reâ€" cord in Manitobaâ€"and this meaâ€" sured with instruments of the same sort, made by the same maker, and tested and carofully compared with the same standard in Toronto. But altitude and the presence or absence of large bodics of water are about as important factors as latiâ€" tude in determining temperature. All of us know that, but the thinkâ€" ing habits of ancestors who did not know it are so strong upon us that we do not make actual use of that knowledge. Misconceptions in Regard to the Temperature, There is a common belief, writes Capt. Villijaimur Stefansson in the Bulletin of the American Geograâ€" phical Society, that Arctic travelâ€" lers are the best authorities on the effects of extreme cold. That idea has its origin in a hazy understandâ€" ing of the physical truth that, other things being equal, the farther you go toward the pole, the lower beâ€" comes the average temperature.
