There was a silence, then she heard Waldron’s steps crossing the room She did not look round, and abruptly he dropped hiis outstretched hand and came back to her. “Why did you do it?” he asked. “Why have you deceived me like this, y-ju, the woman I love, and the man I believed to be my greatest friend? In God’s name what does it mean?” She. looked up at him then, and at sight cf her eyes his heart leaped. In­ voluntarily he sitretched his arms to her. But she flung out a protesting hand;. “Wait.

She had: o-nly seen him once since he had pleaded with her to marry him, and then in a crowd.» She rather dreaded the present tete-a-tete, and wa® relieved when a maid announced: “Lady Rosslaer and Lord Rosslaer.” Waldron flung himself back into his chair and swore 'softly.

She turned on him A Town of Thrilling Romance ■ 1 •/ If Dover had but a voice, what a fascinating story she could tell of her glorious past, from the day when her armed sons, massed in her cliffs, caught their first glimpse of Caesar’s galleys, and when, at sight of them, the invading Romans turned their prows towards Deal to avoid such' an unpleasant reception. 'thus, in those early days, Dover was playing the gallant part of Bri­ tain’s sentinel—a part she has played with such stalwart loyalty thousand years. When, a century later, the came again, they made it one strongest military stations, and such was Dover’s progress in later years that when the Conqueror first set eyes on it it was a highly prosperous town, with a stout fortress to defend it, a monastery, and a guild-hall. It prob­ ably grieved him that, before he could make it bend the knee to him, he was compelled to lay it in ruins with fire and sword. A few years later, how­ ever, It had risen from its ashes and blossomed into a town more flourish­ ing than ever. It is to the Normans that Dover largely owes her imposing castle, with its outer girdle of twenty-seven mas­ sive towers—and its inner wall, with fourteen towers to guard the keep—its central stronghold. In the Conquer­ or's time this castle, whose mighty bulk dominated the Channel, had for its custodians eight of his most power­ ful Barons, who reaped many English manors for their services. Such a stronghold at the very gate­ way of England naturally has a story of battle and bloodshed, but its most thrilling and also its proudest episode was when it was besieged by the Dau­ phin of France, on his way to seize the English crown. Week after week it was swept by a ceaseless hurricane of huge stones and arrows. Starva­ tion, disease, and death ravaged its brave defenders, but the Dauphin look­ ed in vain for the least sign of surren­ der, and in his rage he vowed he would not budge a foot until he had - captured the castle and seen every man in it dangling at rope. But his threats and at last the arrival ments sent the boastful rying back across the Channel. Through the centuries the story of Dover has been very largely the story of her castle. Many a king has found a legal hospitality within its walls— Richard the Lion-hearted, when on his way to the Holy Land; Henry III. on ~ his disastrous return from France, and again when he found a refuge there on the rebellion of his Barons; Ed­ ward I., homeward bound from Pales­ tine to his crown; Edward II., on his nuptial journey from France with his bride; and our fifth Henry, fresh from his glorious victory at Agincourt. It is not only against armed hosts that Dover has had to defend herself. For centuries she has had to wage battle with the sea, which constantly threatened to invade and submerge her. In vain she built one protective wall after another. All were swept away.. The entrance to the harbor, too, was more or less choked up for two hundred years; and every house­ holder was obliged periodically, under severe penalties, to assist in clearing away the shingle. Nor was it until within comparative­ ly recent memory that work was be­ gun on the wonderful harbor, with its pier three-quarters of a mile long and its large area of sheltered water on which a fleet of warships could float. To-day Dover—-so called from the small river Dour, which runs through the town—though her population num­ bers no more than 44,000, is- known in far corners of the world, where cities ten times her size are unknown. The Useful Tomato. Tomato preserve—Take ten pounds of green tomatoes, sliced thin, and add six unpeeled lemons, thinly sliced and from which the seeds have been removed. Place in a preserving ket­ tle, add one cupful of apple juice and half a pound of shredded candied ginger. Let stand over night and in the morning simmer for thirty min­ utes. Add eight pounds of heated granulated sugar and cook down thick, stirring frequently. Store in small jars, as for canned fruit. Green tomato mangoes—Cut a small cube from the stem end of each green tomato and with' a knife re­ move the hard centre. (Sometimes an apple corer carefully used will do this, but do not cut through the bottom of the vegetable.) Put the cubes back in place, place the tomatoes in a large bowl and pour over them boiling salted water (a tablespoonful of salU to three pints of water), cover and let stand over night. Remove to fresh cold water; after draining let stand for fifteen minutes, drain and wipe dry. For fifteen tomatoes pour boil­ ing water over two tablespoonfuls of, white mustard seed, add a quarter of | a teaspoonful of salt and let stand' for ten minutes.

A child of school age is not equipped to store energy or nourishment. If he over­ eats, the result is a case of indiges­ tion and if he does not eat sufficient amount of nourishing foods, it may soon be observed in the general weak­ ness and stunted growth of his body. Do not get the idea that a child’s luncheon must be of the light frothy varieties. It should certainly be packed as daintily as possible, but it should also be substantial foods.

Some Canadian- campers, who know and love the woods, have been com­ plaining lately that they are accused of starting a large proportion of the fires which annually take such a ter­ rible toll of our forest wealth. They say they have been going into the forest every year for such a number of years, and they defy any one to point to any fire they have started. Their complaint is doubtless justified. Men who go every year into the woods are woodsmen, and woodsmen do not start forest fires. The people who start fires are those who are not woodsmen, I who know nothing of woodcraft, who probably were never in the -woods be­ fore, or -tflio go in only at long inter­ vals. Still there are in the aggregate a large number of these people, and, leaving, as they often do, a trail of fire behind them, they give the whole army of campers a bad name. It is hard on the real camper, Sportsman, ! and woodsman, and the only way out 1 is for everybody who goes into the woods cr who has anything to do with , forests, to exert all the influence pos- ! sible to educate these “tenderfeet” I and to create a public opinion that will l support forest-fire Lavrs and the work I of the fire ranger, and ostracize those ' who by their carelessness burn the forest.
