"What did she say ?” Elsa's eyes lighted up suddenly, and. her next words were spoken with a cold bitterness. The tones were level, but anger rang in them. She paused and Scarborough helped her out. "What made it possible?” he asked. "My eyes were opened," she re. peated. "Tell me howto Elsa looked up at him with a dreary little smile. Her voice quivered a little, and Scarborough looked away. He under- stood that she had to say these things, but he would not watch her while she said them. She was quick to see the delicacy of thought which prompted him to avert his eyes, and she was grateful. Presently in a firmer voice she went on'. "What did she say'.'" she repeated. "She said things that made me tell her that I hated her, though she was my mother.

"What were you doing at the Ring- Rock , Elsa handed him the last letter which her father had written to her, saying: "Read that. It will explain." Scarborough read the letter, and though he saw the fulseness of it, he pitied the dead man who had written it. Moreover, he understood a little better why it was that Elsa had clung so firmly to her mistaken faith. To him the falseness in the letter was plain, but the love was plain too, for the wretched man had lied and strug- ttled because of it; to his daughter's eyes, therefore, it was natural enough, Scarborough noted with wonder the hard, almost vindictive expression on the girl's face, and asked softly: "What work, Elsa ?" "The work of bringing her guilt home to her, if she is guilty. She has yet to prove that her hands are not stained with blood." "After he became bankrupt, but be- fore he had been declared bankrupt, , said Scarborough. "That is the point, I'm afraid." "That is not what I mean," said Scarborough. "What I doubt is doubt is whether we have the right to dispose of them so, if we do get them. I hope we can, but I'm afraid we can't. I don't know how the law stands exactly, but I think they will be counted to belong to your father's creditors as a whole, and not to any creditor singly." V _ "But you told me yourself that it was proved that the girl's inheritance was stolen at the last moment, that it had nothing to do with the firm's bankruptcy. Your words were that it was taken after he became bankrupt, to swell his plunder." “I mean to restore the diamonds to Margaret Ryan," said Elsa again. "They were brought with her money.

Whenever you enter a Japanese home you will hear the tinkling of the guitar from some room or other. Every Little c, l Taught to Play Guitar and Arrange Flowers. Our Far Eastern allies, the Japan- ese, have many charming customs. One, which might very well be copied, has to do with Japanese girls. While the family are eating she chants or sings a song of flowers, or relates one of the many legends of the East, all the time sounding her guitar. The manner of his discovery is prob- ably unique. The hoy's absence from school having been remarked, Rosen- hloom's father was summoned by the school attendance officer. Inquiries led to the tracing of the lad, and the War Office, finding that he had mis- taken his age on enlistment, had no hesitation in dismissing him from the army. So fond are our allies of music, in- deed, that they rarely take a meal in their own homes without someone playing to them. If it is not one of the little daughters of the family who plays, it is a hired "singing girl," who comes in for the time being. These singing girls are to be found everywhere in Japan, and their services are always in great demand. He handed the letter back to her. "You hid the packet at the Ring- Rock," he said, “and recovered it yes- terday? What did it contain?" "Nothing that I had hoped it would contain." said Elsa, sadly. since she too loved him, that the love alone should be visible. He was silent. He knew what it was that she had hoped, and how im- possible it had been that her hope should be realized.

Rice and wheat are especially good cereals because they are cheap and nourishing. Rice is used in the whole kernel. It comes in two varieties- brown and white. Brown is a better nutriment. Either kind should be washed well to take out all particles. It should be washed in cold water, so the kernels do not stick; the cold water stakes out the stitch); particles. Let the rice dry after washing and before cooking. When it comes to selecting break- fast foods you have a large tts3ort-. ment, such as rice, oatmeal, cracked wheat, comma] and many othcrc. The main dish can be. bacon, chops or eggs cooked in different ways. Fruits are to be. selected as they appear in the market. It is adebat- able ground whether fruits are better eaten raw or cooked It is largely a question which way they are digested more readily by the individual. Ap- ples raw or cooked are wholesome, grap'fruit and oranges are healthful and refreshing. The breakfast menu must have en- ough food calories to keep the fam-: ily well nourished. Variety and l nourishment are the two cardinall principles in making your breakfast) menus count. A well balanced break- l fast includes fruit or cereal combined or alone. This should be supple- mented by a principal dish, such as eggs and potatoes or chops and pota- toes, a bread and a liquid. The failure may come from several causes, one housekeeper neglects the problem by serving the same break- fast day after day with few varia- tions. The other goes to the extreme of making breakfast a full meal, which means an overloaded stomach and indigestion. Plan Your Breakfast With Care.

Lord Brampton, better known as Sir Harry Hawkins, tells of a case where a prisoner clearly guilty of having murdered in a brutal way both his father and mother, the jury bring- ing a verdict of not guilty. The judge, angry at so outrageous a violation of their plain duty, did what he ought not to have done-asked the reason for such an extraordinary ver- diet, when they knew the prisoner was guilty and ought to have been hanged. "That is just it, my lord," said the foreman of this very distin- guished body. “I assure you we had no doubt about the prisoner's guilt, but as we thought that there had been deaths enough in the family lately we gave him the benefit of the daubt."

A puzzling trick which will perplex your friends can be performed with an ordinary egg. some vinvgar. and a bottle. Take an uncooked egg and let it stand for 15 or 20 minutes in pure vinegar. At the end of this time you will notice that the shell of the egg has become so soft that you can make a deep dent in it without making a hole.
