I could think of no other way of meet ing them.” Hastily he answered her out of his anger- for her sake: “It should not have been your affair to meet them knave in this were it not clear to me that you have played the fool-” “You dare to take that tone?” began O’Moy in a voice of thunder. ^Yourself shall be the first to justi fy it presently, It is quite true that I was in Una’s room while you were killing Samoval. But I was not alone with her, as you have so rashly as sumed. Her brother Richard was there, and it was on his behalf that I was present. She had been hiding him for a fortnight. She begged me, as Dick’s friend and hei‘ own, to save him; and I undertook to do so. The death of Samoval and my own arrest thwarted our plans and prevented Dick’s escape. That is the *ruth,” “Dick Butler?” O’Moy cried out; “I don’t believe a word of it! Ye’re ly ing, Tremayne.” “It would perhaps be better,” Ned said quietly, “if you were to send for Una.” “It’s what I intend,” said Sir Ter ence. He strode stiffly across the room and pulled open the door. Lady O’Moy, white and tearful, was dis covered on the threshold. “How much did you overhear?” he, . asked her. “All that you said about Dick,” she “Then you stood listening?” “Of course.

Sir Terence stood facing them again. The full sense of fiis position suddenly overwhelmed him, as Tre mayne had said it would. A groan broke from him as he collapsed into chair, a stricken,-broken man. (To be concluded.) Colquhoun Grant, Wellington’s sec ret agent, arrives on the sccr.e in time to hear Sir Terence order Tremayno under arrest for disobeying Welling ton’s enactment against duelling. Tremayne is tried. Among other spectators at the trial is Sylvia Army tage, with whom Ned is in love. The point to be settled is what Tremayne was doing in the half-hour from the time he arrived at Monsanto to the time he was found beside Samoval’s body. Tremayne, to save Dick, lies, and is tripped up by Sir Terence. Just as the case seems lost for Ned, Sylvia electrifies the court by declaring that Ned spent that half-hour with her—in her room! “I can’t” „ she said plaintively. •■‘Gone?” cried Tremayne, “Gone?” said O’Moy, and then he jbegan to laugh, but broke off to ask: “How long is it since he left the “Ten minutes at most,” replied her ladyship.

SIR TERENCE FAILED. “It’s a lie!” Sir Terence bellowed angrily. But he bellowed, it seemed, upon deaf ears. The court just sat and stared, utterly and hopelessly at a loss how to proceed. And then- the dry voice of Wellington folio-wed Sir Terence. “How can you know that?” he asked the adjutant. “The matter is one upon, which few would be qualified to con tradict Miss Armytage.

Sir Terence checked, and stood stiff ly as if to attention. Then: “We will talk of this again, you and I,” he said grimly, and passed on to shut himself up in his study with 'his- mental 'an guish. Ho perceived how men must assume now, when the truth of Samo vars death became known—as become known it must—that he had deliber- ately fastened upon another his own crime. The fine edifice of vengeance he had been so skilfully erecting had toppled about his ears in obscene ruin, and he was a man. not only broken, but dishonored. Let him proclaim the truth now and none would believe it, Sylvia Armytage’s mad and inexplic able self-accusation was a final bar to that. ex- a THE TWO-PIECE DRESS RE TAINS ITS POPULARITY.

The sensational claim that harness ing tropical seas will solve the secrets of perpetual motion and revolutionize industry was made before the Academy of France by M. Claude and M. Bouche- rot, two French scientists. It was stated that the surface of the sea in the neighborhood of the Equator is an inexhaustible reservoir of mo tive forces, because its surface tempera- lure averages 25 degrees Centigrade while a thousand yards down it falls to four degrees. Commercial adapta tion of this difference in temperature would produce sufficient power to drive a turbine. ‘ . This discovery, it is claimed, will en able France's tropical colonies to be independent of coal and oil power, and will turn the Sahara into irrigated fer tile plains. It is also claimed that after the in itial operation necessary to start the movement the apparatus used would work automatically. Members of the French Academy were shown an ex perimental plant which turned a dyna mo and lighted a series of electric ■bulbs. CHAPTER XXVII. THS TRUTH.

A STRICKEN MAN, ‘‘You killed Count Samoval?” claimed Miss Armytage. “To be sure I aid,” was the answer, cynically delivered. “And you didn’t know then, Sylvia, when you lied so glibly to the court, that your future husband was innocent of that?” “I—was always sure of it,” she answered. O’Moy laughed again. “But he had not told you so. He preferred that you should think him guilty of blood shed, of murder even, rather than tell you the real truth, I wonder would you have been so ready to make a shield of your lienor could you have known what you were really shield ing?” “Ned!” she cried. “Why don’t you speak? If you were not with Samoval that night, where wore you?” “In a lady’s room, as you correctly informed the court,” came O’Moy’s bit ter mockery. “My wife was the lady who entertained this gallant in her room that night.” “My God, O’Moy!” It was a stran gled cry from Tremayno. At last he saw light; ho understood, and, under standing, there entered. his heart a great compassion for O’Moy. “O’Moy,” he continued more slowly, “I should .toll you that you have played the Minard’s Liniment for chapped hands.

Of these the fats and carbohydrates are the fuel-savers, and during the cold weather the amount of , them should be substantially In ca-eased. Swect3 consist of sugary materials combined with, coloring and flavoring ' agents. These sugars are carbohy drates. Children, therefore, should be encouraged to eat sweets, as they are fuel-savers par excellence. But con fectionery containing a lot of glucose and glycerine Should bo avoided, as such sweets are not easy to digest. Mor© Porridge—Fewer Fires. Starch is another carbohydrate, and the proportion of this should also be increased during the winter months. The potato contains much starch, and it is better to eat this baked than boil ed or steamed'. Baking Increases the starch content, while steaming or boil ing reduces it. When the fact that starchy foods- are fuel-savers has been fully realized, a new proverb may be coined: “Three potatoes a day keep the coalman away,” Oatmeal porridge Is known to be heating, and for that reason it is not much eaten during the warmer weath er. ft is not sufficient, however, to re sume it in the winter. We should go a step further, and increase tho amount usually taken if we wish to save fuel. Puddings should also be eaten in larger quantities during the colder weather. Rice, sago, tapioca, semolina, and similar puddings all contain much starch and, if made with good milk, valuable fats as well. If plenty of pudding is eaten, fewer fires and smaller ones will keep' us warm. Most people Imagine that sugar in tea, coffee, or cocoa is not good for them, during will be easier to keep warm. In form, too, sugar, being already solved, is easy to digest. Malt After Meals. Fat of ails'- kind tends to keep body warm. Fatty foods, therefore, should be taken liberally during the winter months. Fat bacon and liam are probably the stand-bys here, but beef and mutton fat, or even the some what indigestible pork fat, should not be neglected. A good way of taking fat is to spread it as dripping on slices of bread. Cold fat is more easily digest ed than hot fat. ■ ’ Both cod-liver oil and’ olive oil are other valuable sources of fatty food. It may be argued that our constitu tions are not strong enough to stand the increase in the'amount of'fats and carbohydrates recommended, and that Instead of saving fuel by changing our diet in this way, we shall lose money .by getting laid up. Carbohydrates, however, can be ren dered more digestible by moans of malt-extract, which contains a curious ferment called diastase. A spoonful of malt extract should, therefore', be taken after each meal which is rich in carbohydrates. If, even then, the system refuses to absorb the fatty foods, or resents the increase in tlieir amount, - try cod-liver oil emulsion or olive-oil emulsion. These emulsions give the best results if a spoonful or so is taken immediately after meals. If sugar is taken in this way the cohl weather, however, It this dis- the whether Mr., Mrs. or Miss.

FIRST PRIZE Chevrolet Coach ’ Value $910 Joseph’s Partner. Among the ancestral traditions of an American family of Quaker descent an amusing one recently related concerned a certain Joseph and Bathsheba. Joseph was a bachelor, a competent blacksmith,, but by no means -well-to- do. Bathsheba, the proprietress of a little shop, who had recently employed him ’to do some ironwork for her, learned that, though she had paid cash down, he had charged her considerably more than he had charged a neighbor, for a similar job. She went to the smithy to protest. Joseph, an amiable childlike giant Of a man, was perfectly willing to ex plain. “Thee sees, Friend Bathsheba, when I have a good cash customer like thee, I charge a good price, because I'know it will be paid. But I have many cus tomers wh® wave a hand and say, ‘Put it down in thy book, Joseph; put it in thy book.' And I do put it down in my book, but I don’t know whether I shall be paid or not; and so often they don’t pay me that now I always make the charge a little one, so as not to lose so much.” “Joseph,” said Bahsheba after a pause, “I feel it laid upon my spirit as a burden that I must tell thee, thee needs a partner.”“Thee is kind to advise me, BatlisI^ ba,” responded Joseph gratefully, "j T should not know where to look^ a partner.” _ “Really, Joseph,” said. Bathsheba,' demurely, “I do not feel it laid upon me to tell thee that!” | They were married, and Joseph’s D0* J culiar business methods wore soon ab I tcred, much to his financial advantage.
