Go to her to -mor row and tell her I've lost all my money. See what she says then !' "She'd say just the sane. ' Mono would mamake•e na differenee to May.' i "oWan' t it l" Mr. 'Tavistock snorted "•Sh'o'es got adventuress written all over her face! Oh, I'll admit she's pretty''—acs has son was about to interrupt'—"but one wau�ts something else besides beauty in a woman, It doesn't last long w th the best of thein. You haven't pro- posed to her yet?'' "Not yet," "That's good, my soai. She's not the girl for you.' "Why not?" "Beeause•I say nob. I want you bo marry some one better than her. I've got -the -money. I haven't made my pile for her to sequa.ender," "She won't squander it." "She won't --because she won't get the oppos^tunaty, Opportunity's a grand toning." "I intend to marry her." John Tavistock had not the stern:, grim face which marked his father; but his mouth set very hard as he spoke. 'Very well—nia•rry her; but not one penny of mine will you touoh if you do—not one penny --do you un- derstand ?" "Then 1 shall have to work for my living." _ "Yon work!" Mr. Tavistock. laughed. "Have you ever been broug'ht up to work? I have edu- cated you to lave like a gentleman on the money I made. Would you know how to work?" He surveyed his son, dressed. . in the lost expen- sive clothes a London tailor could provide. "I'd have to try." "Very well. You know my ulti- matum," Mr. Tavistock turned. to some papers on his desk. "My money or the girl; you can't have both!' There was an angry flush on his face after his son had lefb 'the room. ler. Tavistock was a self- made man, who, in his early days had fought hard. Repute said he was one of the richest men in Eng- land.; consequently, hies path through: the world was easy; men bowed before him, and it amazed him that his son should refuse to obey his comimands—John, who had always proved so amenable. True, Miss May S:tanhasd was a nice, pretty girl—_ just such. a girl as could be found in hundreds of English homes—prettier than moat, per- haps. But she was not the sort of girl his son ought to marry; he wanted him to aim higher. Mr. Tavistock's mind wandered from the business before him—kept wandering too the girl. Then an idea cane to him and he chuckled softly. From that moment—once a, defi- nite scheme had foamed itself in his brain—his thoughts ran in their proper channels and the contracts before him received their due and proper attention. Miss May Stanhard lived with her widowed mother in a oomforbable house at Kensington. Mr: Stan - hard had made sufficient on the stock exchange to leave his wife comfortably off in the eyes of the general world. She herself' was a woman of the world, 1,vho had seen it was fit for her daughter to encourage the only non of the wealthy Mr. Tavistock. He was most eminently a suitable match—in feet, it was absurd to ap- ply such a com.monplaoe description to the son of the millionaire. At firsb May—a, girl of the present day, who valued the luxuries that money earl bring -lead' fallen in with her. wishes. In a few months she found that her feelings for John Tavistock, Ir., r had entered a. different sphere. She was seated with her mother in the drawing -room when Mr. Ta- vistock's car drove up and stopped before the door. "Who is that?" asked Mrs. Stan- hard. "`John's father," replied the girl. "Oh !" Mrs. Stanhard rose, pre- paratory to makings her exit. "Then I will leave you alone with him," So ib was that Mr. Tavistock found the girl by herself, a book open, fate downwards, oen the chair by her side. He nodded curtly as he shook hands, "No; I won't sib down," Be surveyed the girl. The sight pleased him. "So ynou're going to mairy my boy?" he said. May Set•a,nhard flushed, and he eonbinued "You thick he'll be a eee eateh, eh?"' g d "I have not looked ookekl o,t. ie from that point of view" she relied. "I am fond of John , and he p cases foe me, I believe." "Um.. t ']elect's a good thing. If` ycwu eaen't have money, it's a. good thane to heirs lova. Do you know that if 'my son >marries against my -wishes he wons t Nev a, penny of min I" "I don't think you Married on very much, Ma, alni,setoek, "1 ani net talking abeotWnv mar- riage, I had brains; he hasen't, I don't want him bo marry you .; so, if he dies, he loses, Seel' lljr„ Tee vi ebock put his. hands behind his beak and glared at her. "I've told hint so." "And what did he say?" "Spoke about love in e, oottage't. e Now, you're a sensible ;girl, You - value money and toll moneyC•an bring, If you marry hint you won't gat any, exeopb what he earns. And y I tell you frankly he isri'et worth 30 shillings a week to anyone." "Now," continued Mr eleevistoolc, "if you marry xne you can live in luxury for the rest of e -our life. I'll settle enough on you to, give you every extravagance you can crave for." "I don't understand. You want to merry me?" "Yes," said Mr. Tavistock. "I'ni nob in love with you—I don't be- lieve in love, but I'll make you a good husband -=better than John will. And you're taking on a eer- tad nty> with ane. I've got the atones. What do you say?" The girl :'hesitated and flushed. She was honestly fond of the son. And she knew what her mother would say if she married without money. "You're serious in.. your proposal?" she said at last. "Perfectly, I oau't offer you love, but I ea,n offer you a comfort- able home," . "I --I ean't answer .you now. ,If you would give me till teemeorr',ow," "Certaienly." Mr, Tavistook. walked toward the door. "Think it over, my girl," he said. "I'll call again to -morrow about this time." He ohuokled as bis chauffeur cranked up. ' The interview bad gone as he expected. Mr. Tavis- took was a good judge of men, and he prided hien .self on the facet. Be- fore driving hoarse he directed the man to stoop at a, large jeweler's in the West End, where he purchased a diamond necklace, which he order- ed to be sent at once to Miss S•ban- hard's address. It reached her the same evening. She sat with it cm her lap for a long time. Then she sighed and locked it away in a drawer in her room. Thera was asmile on Mr. Taviis- tock's face as he faced his son at dinner that night. He felt the fight was as good as won. "Seen May to -day?" he asked; genially. "No," replied his son, with a soowl; "I ,have nota." "I ' should be careful," advised his father, "or you will find some one cutting you out." His son made no reply. . Mr. Tavistock carried on a light, jocular conversation throughout the evening, one which- jarred' on his sones nerves. The next afternoon his motor drew up again • before the Stanhard house in Kensington. Miss Stanhard received him in the drawing -room. "Well, my dear," he said, geni- ally. I must thank you for the neck- lace you sent me," said tth'e girl. "That's nothing to what you shall. have when we're married," he re- plied. , The girl was silent. for a mo- ment. "If I marry you," she said, "I shall have eeverybliimg I want?" "Yes," he replied. "And if I marry John against your wishes it means poverty?" "Yes," replied the millionaire, grimly. "And you love me V' "I like you." "Then why do you withhold your consent to my engagemeavt to your son "Because you are not. •sallied to each other," "If any one had tried to -prevent you marrying your first wife?" "My first wife has noshing, to do with the question,." releReet the mil- lionaire stiffly. We will not discuss her." "No." ,The girl came nearer to him and looked up into his face. "Because you cared for her as you could never care for me. You; were poor when you married her: So poor that you lived in two rooms. Yet if her father had dared 1» in- terfere-----." "We will not discuss my -wife," repeated the millionaire. "On the one hand,. there is mo'n'ey,. riches; on the other--" "Poverty," said Mr. 'Taxis -book. "Yes, subsetanes and shadow." "If you like to put ie so poetically. I'm more 'arid-Icel." "Well, I shall choose the sub- etamoe." "Then, I can tell my son you heave accepted any offer , of mar- riage 7" The girl's left hand bad been bid- den behind her back: Shu drew ib forward quickly. In the psalm re- posed e-posecl the dianoaid ' ne eklaoe, "No,'' she said, "you can tell your son from ire that I'd rather share £100 a year with him. than a, million a. year with his father." Mr. Tavistock looeke•d . ab her dumbfounded, "Then, y you refuse my offer?" be said. "Yes," replied the gore. "When you were young you obese love. You might have married for money.: But you chose substeamece. So do. I. I can only live my life once. I pre- fer to spend with the main I love. Two roomer .are better than ai. palace without it." Mr. Tavistoek looked at her and read the grim determination in her facto. "I brought a ring .round with r Sweet Children of Crown Princess of Sweden. The little girl on the left is Princess Ingrid, daughter of the Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden: Ingrid is just foul- years old, while' her brother, Berne, is a little over two years of age.

Their mother was Prinoess Margaret of Oen-naught before her marriage with Prince Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden me," he said—"a, rather good: dia- rnoend ring." "Then. I'm afraid you'll have to take ib away' with you again." "Not a. bit of it." The miLli,on- aire',s face was stall hard. "I'm .afraid I don't understand you," said the girl. "I don'texPeet John will mind we :placing the ring on your finger," He took the girl's left hand in his and slapped it over the third. finger. ''And you'd better keep the neck- lace as " well,'-as;a fiirst gift from your future father-in-law." The girl looked at him basal- prise. "What .do you" mean ?" "My dear, I'm a bit ashamed of myself. I thought you were marry- ing John for the -money that would be his, so;I thought I'd test you., Bat I guess I was. wrong. It's the substance right enough." He stoop- ed down and,kissed her. "Now yon just run and put on your things, and we'll drive baqk home' straigh, away. I expect we'll find John somewhere there, if he hasn't"left already." "Left ?" "Yes, I tented "him as well.

Those who are ,still young and robust are likely too overlook the fact rbhat, as eclrloeppen,g water will wear a ,stone .a,way at last, so will the use of .heavy, greasy, riech food, finally douse loss of"appetite and. indeige.stieon. Fortunately many are theoughetfnl enough to study +tlheo iee,lves and note the principle of cause and effec, in their daily food. A young woenian writes her' experieence thus : "Sometime ago I had a lot of trouble from indigestion, cause by -boo rich -food, I gc b so I was un- able' to .digest scarcely anything, and medicines seemed uiseless.

James' Palace both by his industry and the businesslike way in which. he gets 'eehrsough his work. The amount of dont eempon- d,ence which'o hie' Majesty must per- `sonally deal with tends ever to in- crease, and though -Lord Stamford - ham relieves the King of as much work as possible, . thie,re remains af- ter the most exhaustive sifting suf- ficient to keep the snonauroh occupied fox several hours a day. It es pos- sible that the King, if he liked, could deputize most of his work, but, like his father, the bate King Edward, he takes the perfectly cor- root view that it would be injudi- cious to put his name or give his a;ssene to: any document or p11an which he had nob himself carefully 'studied. Besides, to one of his Ma, jester's clearly defined views, ,Bach agreement on seine matters- would be: highly repugnant. The "Wake- up-Eaigland" King believes in look- ing into things for himself.

Old recipes say three tinnes; but this procedure results in a loss of more of the •soluble pert than it is good to lose. Cook in plain boil- ing* water or in half milk and half e water, and for nob less than- an hour. Onions need to be more thorougghly, cooked than many peo- ple cook them. Finish with milk and butter, pepper and salt;' or with cream,. Chopped Onion.—For cooking, for sauces or purees,'and fox mix- ing raw with French dressing 'and salads, the onion is best finely. Chopped, but it quickly turns black. If it is not to be scalded imme diately, but used . raw, put it in a piece of cheesecloth, let tlie cold water run over it, and then twist up. the olobh and squeeze it dry. Cold asparagus loath a French dressing, to which chopped' onion had been added, is ebebter than with plain dressing, ; accorciing to many tastes, and this is a good dressing to serve with all cold cooked green things. It is . good with a lettuce and ,tomato salad, some chopped greenpepper being added perhaps: If a meat chopper is used the first onion must be thrown away. Cold Glazed Onions -Prepare small onions and cook in a wide bottomed, covered earthen dish in the oven. Add to the onions a ta- blespoon of butter for each half dozen ;small ones, and an even ta- blespoon of powdered sugar. Cook with a moderate fire, otherwise the outside layer of the onion will be like paper, This amount of sugar may make them too sweet for 'some. tastes, and one-half as much can be used. These areexcellent cold for luncheons or picnics. They are as good as prunes for a child's lunch box, and quite generally lik- ed by children. Soubise Sauce.—The name Sou- bise has-been given to onion sauces and soups since a prince of that name, who lived in the time of Louis XV., gave his name to such a sauee, prepared by his.famous cook. There are many ways of pre- paring this so that it is hard to de- cide what was the original. Finely mince a pound or two of onions, scald them three or four minutes, tew them in butter with a pinch of sugar, and add them to a thick white sauce. Or mince and scald, hen cook with a little bacon and our tablespoons of well washed ice to each pound of onion and in ne cup of meat stock, preferably white, to a pound of onions, some alt and . pepper, and a pinch of ugar. Pitt through a sieve and erve with mutton or whatever it s prepared for. With rice this has more body than with a white sauce nd is velvety after being sieved, but for common, everyday use the ice so cooked can be used for a garnish for .a meat.

Then add three pints of milk into which one ounce of flour has been creamed. Season the mixture to taste, and let the soup simmer. gently for half an' hour. Serve it with cubes of toast.
