PARKER'S DYE WORKS, LIMITED 791 YONGE ST. m TORONTO •IO et wee Cousins; OR, A DECLARATION OF WAR. CHAPTER III.—(Cont'd) . "At Bonnet Ferry—two miles from! Ardloch, He is very kind, and so is' Mrs. Modley." "Ah, he is married ?" "Yes. And he is good enough to take an interest in me. His lord- ; ship likes the pastors to be risen from the people." "Yes; it is rather a picturesque idea/' she said meditatively. "How strange you will feel, and how proud coming back to your old home in your! position." "Proud ? Oh, no—not that. I shall f be too much afraid of filling it un-; worthily, even doing my best—and I! mean to do my best!" ! As he said it his eyes grew bright and fixed, gazing away between the many -shaped stones towards the hazy horizon beyond the roofs. She look- ed at him curiously, favored by his absorption—a block of white marble close at hand making so good a back- ground to his finely -moulded head and straight -cut features as almost t this time last week. By what pr cess his natural shyness had bee overcome, his natural reserve forced he felt it useless to investigate. A he knew was that the operation ha been quite easy. Aslo, he was con scions of a certain sweetness in th unprecedented indulgence. After th confidences which he himself had tha day received, and the almost child like simplicity of her avowals, com plete reticence would have struck him as churlish. Gradually, as she list ened Ella Mitchell felt herself warm- ing to the idea of the "mission," at first so coldly received. At the end of ten minutes the disappointment touching the slate -quarry had been quite lost sight of in this new aspect of the case. ) "It is a noble end!" she said, when John. paused, a little startled to find how far he had gone, "A grand— an elevating idea! To raise these poor people out of their lowly state— that indeed is something worth living for. Oh, you have my very best, scarcely litre to walk with you" (here another down -casting' of. the eves).. "without heving introduced you to her; and yet I should so lovo to hear more about your interesting world It would be good practice you know, since visiting the sick will be on your list of duties,, will it not ?" The wide mouth twitched into an al- most espiegle smile, as she gave him her hand.. Miss Mitchell regained her aunt's. house still in the best of spirits, but was. not ,able to preserve them at the given, level throughout the evening, Mrs, .Watson --the relect of a fairly successful greengrocer -.being one of those invalids whose chief amusement, in life seems to be experiment upon the patience of their fellow -creatures. To give as much trouble and make themselves as disagreeable as they can, seems to such people a perfectly justifiable revenge upon the healthy portion of mankind. The role of wet blanket was one which Mrs. Watson, in particular, revelled in. And she looked the part, too, being large, pale,. and pasty, with a' face grown puffy :from want of exercise, and an almost bald head muffled in folded muslin which might easily.have passed for a compress. The eyes alone were as alive as flies, and as sharp as pins— ever on the look -out for grievances, and ready to punish them with a sharp little double prick. It was upon Fanny, the poor, pati- ent sick -nurse, that the revenge fell most heavily -a creature sallow and "beaky," with, upon her thready lips, a conciliatory smile which had be- come chronic, a$ though, painfully aware of her own extreme ugliness, o-' she was striving to disarm criticism n� by an extra dose of amiability. That ,, smile might be compared to the sauce it l in which she endeavoured to, dish up d i her looks in' Hopes of making thein `r more palatable. Her "boniness" and e the size of her nose suggested the o�vulture, but an extremely mild vul- - ture, with the temperament, pre= sumably, of a sucking -dove, Indeed, - someone had once unkindly but not inappropriately declared of Fanny -) Watson that the only bone not visible -4about her was a backbone. 1 Ella Mitchell came off more easily Ithan Fanny, partly because of her absences, and partly because she paid Ifor her board, since to put a roof over the head of her brother's child quite satisfied Mrs. Watson's sense of kin- ship. But even Ella could not al- ways escape the wet blanket. The heightened color and animated glance with which she entered the sick -room to -day were enough to call for an application, since, if there was one thing Mrs. Watson could not stand, it was seeing people enjoying their lives. "Wherever have you been the whole blessed afternoon?" she demanded, in a cavernous ons sort of growl, peculiar ai to herself,...per the deep pitch of voice in which she uttered her usual complaints added much to their impressiveness. "Gadding about the streets, eh ? Not even respectable, I call it -don't you see that my handkerchief has dropped, Fanny?) -let alone that it might oc- cur to you that a. sick woman like me might want a little talk of a Sunday afternoon. . It's not much you con- tribute to my entertainment, as it is." "I've been to church, auntie." "Not sincetwo o'clock, surely?" "No," confessed Ella, in'a burst of frankness, produced by exceptional elation; "1 had •a walk afterwards. -1 have made an acquaintance --such an contain sulphur oil and are recom- interesting acquaintance and so re_ mended for insomnia and as an aid to spectable.

In face of this undisguised sym- athy, John quite forgot to regret his normal talkativeness.

HIYdet Wast Moatreaf, Fat Economy, The cost of meat fat is high. It must always be remembered the fat is paid for at the same price as the lean, Mucli of the fat paid for dries out of the meat in the cooking and is not sent with the meet to the table. Mueh of the fat of the neat sent to the table is not eaten. What becomes of it? • Much of it never reaches the table again. Too frequently it is fed to a useless dog, dumped into the soap greasa, scraped into the iraibage pail, or even thrown into the fire and burn- ed, The thrifty housewife saves every ounce of sweet fat for future cooking, and seldom has to buy. special lard or oil for cooking. When any fat can- not be used for cooking, it is converted into soap. One housewife reports her experi- ence of saving and keeping the differ- ent kinds separate for different pur- pose, as follows: Beef dripping for potatoes.. Pork dripping for sweet potatoes,. gingerbread and ginger" cookies; mix- ed with beef dripping for meat pastry, Ham, bacon, and sausage fats for soups, vegetables, and things too nu- merous to mention. Lanb fat for warmnig over beans. Veal fat for omelets. Chicken, duck,. and goose fat for cookies, gingerbread, and spiced 'cakes. Chicken fat with a little bacon prov- ed, delectable for cooking oysters in. There is no doubt that a careful: sav- ing and use of meat. fats Iessens the butter bill to a considerable extent. To Rendvate Shiny Serge, For dark colored clothing wet a piece of new black crinoline and lay over the worn spot. This should be covered with a dry cloth and pressed with a very hot iron. The heat will make the crinoline adhere to the serge, after which it should be pulled away quickly, as you would a plaster, raising the nap of the goods so that it looks dull again. Regluing Furniture ,•If you have never been successful in regluing m nztu fur ' g g Ieof , s that it will stay glued, you may be more successful by adding a coat of shellac or colorless varnish.

Always have plenty of table room near the sink. Have a high stool to sit upon while working, for nothing is gained by standing.

"Oh, she knows about it already, does she? That means that it's a man, of course, and that you've been gossiping away into- all the hours of the night, quite regardless of me, naturally. What's the wonder, then, if Fanny. oversleeps herself in the morning, and I've got to call for my beef -tea four times running? Oh, what it is to be a martyr chained to the rack!" "We didn't talk about it at night— at least, not always. It was on Sun- days we usually talked, when I was at home." "Usually talked!" The two flabby hands were uplifted, while the eyes dealt a blow in Ella's direction. "Why, how long has this been going on, [pray? Stuffing your heads with nonsense,indeed, and evil nonsense, no doubt; young people nowadays have far more evil in them than good. Not that that applies to you, my dear —I mean about the youthfulness;" and the two little pins fastened back on Fanny's face. "You're past the age of danger inthat direction, any- way." She laughed in an underground sort of fashion which suggested the rumbl- ing of an earthquake, at which the vulture -faced creature smiled more affably than ever, though rather red about the•tempies, But Ella had more spirit—fed, no doubt, but the eonscicusness of that weekly bill for board. Loudly she protested. "There was nothing bad about our talk. It was only that I told Fanny of—of somebody whom 1 used often to travel with in the same car, and whom I couldn't help noticing, though it was only the other day that we made acquaintance. And he is more than a mere.man; he is almost a gentleman —at least, he will be that some day, for he is going into orders, and all clergymen are gentlemen, surely." "And it's him you've been (walking with?" inquired Mrs. Watson, surpris- ed into a less aggressive tone; but hastening to add; "Depend upon it, he's making a fool of you." (To be continued).
