There was nothing in the world sahe deâ€" sired more than h‘s happiness; aod she knew that the matriage with Ida would be in every way desirable: the girl was one in a thousand, the Bannerdale estates a‘most joined Herondale; both she and her husband were fond of Ida, who, they knew, would prove a worthy successor to the present mistrees of the G_mvm; but just because it seemed so desirab and ioni Edwin‘s heart was so paesionately eet upon it, the mother was anxious.

Then, eaddenly, she caw a tall figure standing in the shadow of the trees. It was a man, and Donald and Beâ€"s were jumping up at him with little whines of pleasure. Smitten by a «udden fear she stopped; but the man raised his head and eaw her, and. with an exclamation, strode towards her. For an instant ahe thought that she was dreaming, that her imagination was playing her false, for it was Stafford‘s form and face. They stood and gazed at each other; her brain felt dizzy, her pale face grew paler; she knew that she was trembling, that she could scarcoly stand; she began to sway to and fro slightly, and he caught her in his arms.

She went to the writingâ€"table, and hurâ€" riedly, as if ghe were afraid of hesitating, ehe drew a sheet of paper towards her and wrote: She came in late for dinner, and could scarcely eat. Her reason said "yes," her heart said "no;" and ghe knew that she ought to listen to her reason and turn & deat car to the still voice in her heart.

She could not doubt hi« love; she could not but feel that if she surren dered hersel{ to him he would, indeed, in time teach her to forget. She knew that it was her duty to marry; his word about the estates had not been spoken in vain. Â¥es; if she became Lord Edwin‘s wife, ahe would in time forget. But, alas! she did not want to forget. \ Her love for Stafford was still as strong as ever and with its bitterness was mingâ€" led a sweetnecs which wae eweeter than life iteel{.

Sceald a pint of milk and while it is still scalding hot pour it over a pint of flour. Beat unttil smooth and then add half 'a teaspoontful of salt and cool. Add the beaten uidh of four eggs, ~a tablespoonful ofâ€" melted ibutter, half a cupful of sugar, a cupful of flour, tw~o teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of almondâ€" or other flavoring andâ€"the beaten whites of four eggs.

Boil Fruit Punch.â€"Steep four teaâ€" spoonfuls of good tea (orange Peâ€" koe and English breakfast are said to be best) in a quart of boiling waâ€" ter. The water must be bubbling when poured over the tea, which is then set back on the stove to steep not more than four minutes. Strain into an earthen bowl containing four cups of sugar.

When quite cold pour into a punch bow! with three cups of orange juics and two cups of lemon juice, both strained, and four pint bottles eacn of ginger ale and apollinaris waâ€" ter.: A large block of ice in the cenâ€" tre of the bowl, decorated with clices of orange quartered, candied cherries and slivers of pineapple, is better than cracked ice which weakâ€" ens the punch.

Simple Beverages.â€"To serve beâ€" tween games at a card party try iced coffee or chocolate. For the coffee, make enough of what is known as clear black afterâ€"dinner coffee to fill at least two wine or sherbet glasses for each guest. Sweeten this while it is hot and set aside to cool. Then pour it into a large ‘bottle or pitcher and set in a pail or dsep kettle, packing ice around it.

Let this mixture cook until it forms a thick syrup. Remove from the fire, add a teaspoonful of vanilla and set away to chill in a pitcher. When ready to serve, hallâ€"fill a large mixing glass with chopped ice, add two tablespoonfuls of the chocoâ€" late syrup, fill up the glass with good, sweet milk, cover with a shaker and shake thoroughly, strain into glasses and put whipped cream on top of each. Do not mix more than a large glass of this at a time. It will make three small glasses. This method is much better than boiling the chocolate and milk and then chilling, which usually forms a sediment. Grilled kidneys may be grilled in their own fat, or they may be scaldâ€" ed, skinned, and split and brushed with oil. They should be served on toast, either well seasoned or with a devil sauce. Kidneys, which may be bought for one, two, or three cents apiece, never more, make a cheap and deliâ€" cious supoer, luncheon, or breakâ€" fast dish either grilled or stewed. To stew the kidneys scald, skin, and cut them in halves, take out the ‘smnll hard piece and rwb in seasonâ€" ed flour. Heat a little dripping in small casserole, put in the kidneys and fry them brown. Take them out and keep warm on a plate. Chop a small onion, fry in the casâ€" serole until brown, add a little flour and brown. Add a teaspoonful of sharp sauce and one of tomato sauce or catsup. Pour in slowly as much water as required, stirring to keep smooth. Return the kidneys to the pan and simmer for about an hour. Skim off any scum and flayâ€" or with sherry. Kidneys that are left over from a supper dish are very good hashed and served un’ toast for breakfast. They should be reâ€"warmed with a brown gravy. _ l Inexpensive Meat Dishes.

Drain on thick paper aad roll in sugar Paris they receive from _ Paris while I in Aquila receive fron Norddeich, a thousard miles away My apparatus is entirely new, an« when I say that I use it with elec ‘ According to Prof. di Pirro, the Argentieri apparatus receives mesâ€" sages from any istance without antennae, without ground connecâ€" tion, without attuning device, withâ€" out batteries, without Leyden jars, and is so simple that any one with a slight knowledge of electrical mechanics could make one for himâ€" self, In practice it is necessary merely to attach the receiver to any exposed part of the telephonic or lightning system. Whether this be carrying current or not, and wheâ€" ther the current be direct or altor nating, matters not at all. Thinking of it For Years. Father Argentieri, who is only twentyâ€"seven years old, is an enthuâ€" siastic student of physics, especialâ€" ly of radioâ€"telegraphy. He says that he had been thinking out his appaâ€" ratus for several years, but comâ€" pleted it only three months ago. To a reporter for the Corriere della Sera of Milan he said : ‘"Although my avparatus will go in the pocket, it is no toy. Nor is its principle new, for Gugliemo Marconi has told of receiving mesâ€" sages without antennae, and I know that hundreds of persons, especialâ€" ly in Paris, receive communications from the Eiffel Tower by attaching their apparatus to waterâ€"pipes, iron railings, windows, etec. But in "In which case we shall confiscate you,"‘ replied the police. Prof. Arâ€" gentieri then told them that he had invenied a pocket wireless receiver. The Government sent Prof. di Pirâ€" ro, an expert, to investigate. f At the beginning of the war in Europe the Italian Government orâ€" dered that all private antennae for the reception of wireless messages be removed. At Rocea di Mezzo, in the Abruzzi, Prof. Domenico Arâ€" gentieri of the Theological Seminâ€" ary at Aquila had a fine wircless station. He took down his antenâ€" nae as soon as he received the orâ€" der. A few days asfterward the poâ€" lice cbserved that news of current events was being posted in the pubâ€" lie square. They paid little atten tionâ€"untilsa large placard announe ing the death of Pops Pius X. apâ€" peared. This was before the teleâ€" graph brought the news. Police Told of Iavention. When the news was confirmed the police called on Father Argentiori and said they must search his house. He offered no objection and said that anything they confiscated could be reconstructed without difficulty. That wireless messages can be caught by means of simple apparaâ€" tus attached to the water pipes or to any grounded metal system, and without antennae, is well known. But a young Italian priest is reportâ€" ed to have invented a receiver so small that it can be carried in the pocket and so sensitive that it will catch messages sent from a station one thousand miles away. The disâ€" covery of his discovery came about in a strange way.
