"Haw shall I do it?" „ svgs the ques- tion which on Sunday a lowed Fenella 'S z d y aftez•zroon, foie e up the glen. She had chosen Sunday, as a likely day for finding Duncan at home. But here her difficulties didnot end; for firstly the management of a tete-a-tete was imperative; and secondly, az s, she had not yet made up her mind as to ' what exactly she woul4 say. Beside the � . financial renunciation entailed, she was conscious of asking a great sacrifice from Duncan's pride ,and she wondered whether she had the right to do so Altogether she felt he nervous as to the mission undertaken, and yet determined to undertake it. The dark hints dropped by Albert had quickened her courage, for the pros- pect oe seeing Duncan hunted out of the eounisywas not one to please her, It was . a warm, though "covered"' day, and the dcor of the cottage stood open. Even before reaching it she' caught the sound of a monotonously - ,speaking voice. On the threshold she stood still. Adam, his discolored face attentively composed: beneath the shade covering his sick eyes, sat up- right in the paddedarm-chair; op- posite to him Duncan in his Sunday clothes, with an open book before him, from which he was reading aloud with all the ease which an obviously stiff and dazzling white collar permitted him:a—•Loath to interrupt, Fenella, hem hesitated beside the door. "'You have heard that it hath been said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. But I say to you not to resist evil; but ifone strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to himalso the other; they cheek, turn to him also the other; and if a man will contend with thee in. judgment, and take away thy coat, let ` go thy cloak also.unto him.

Duncan turned and started to his ee. "Go on, please," said Fenella; genuinely embarrassed. "There's no curry for me." "Miss Fenella.

It was clear that the subject of Christian: forbearance did not, for the time being, appeal to him. Her comparative silence had arous- ed A.dam's roused'Adazn's attention, for presently he began to complain a little querul- ously, as was growing his habit, "What's become- o' your voice the day, Miss Fenella? It's all I've got of you, mind, and you so aparin" with it! You're no feelin' tired, are you, or maybe ill? which God forbid." "I'm perfectly well," assured Fen- ella, rousing herself. "I'm only busy Iooking at those flowers on the man- telpiece. ` How smart they make the zoom! Talkie' o' dowers, Duncan, how would it be if you asked Miss Fenella to throw an eye upon that climber thatyou can't coax up the south mall? Maybe she can tell yeti what, ails it, such a hand at gardening as, she is." "Oh, yes, show it me," said Fenella eagerly, seeing • her opportunity alt last. Just a minute ago she had been thinking that there would be nothing for it but to. ask Duncan to accompany her down the glen. But this was much better: She rose at once, leaving' the flow- ers she had begun to arrange lying scattered on the table, and looking expectantly towards Duncan. Outside, somewhat shamefacedly, he showed her a badly -mildewed climbing rose, which had evidently been both pruned and watered to with- in an inch ofits life. "I planted it in spring," he explain- ed, and added, as though in self-justi- fication: "A climber would: make the cottage look gayer.,, even on the grey days." After a few instructions, vaguely given but piously listened to, Fenella having looked about her, hesitatingly moved again towards the cottage, but instead of re-entering, sat down upon the slab of slate -stone beside the door, v:hich she had -had the presence . of mind to close as she came out behind Duncan. "Duncan," began Fenella nervously, staring hard at, the dahlias, "you know, don't you, that I think you are right in your quarrel with • Mr. Ber rell ?" "I have no quarrel with Mr. Ber rell,"he replied, after a pause ofsur prise; ''I" want my right from him, that is all." "But one's right is a thing so few people get, and sometimes it costs so much bitterness and anger to get it; and we are told to- avoid bitterness and anger, you know, and to be good to our enemies. You have heard it again to -day. Mr. Berrell is your enemy, I know; but would it not be nobler to forgive him thanto demand from. him the last farthing?" see," said Duncan, after another pause, and in a harder voice already; "you are wanting to apply the lesson of to -day you are expecting nee to turn the other cheek. But it'sno good, Fenella, I'm not made that way "But, Duncan—" "You've heard what I think of the precepts. They were not meant to be taken by the letter, nor calculated for :practical' life, and 'I don't mean to take them so-" There was so sharp a decision in his tone that Fenella sat discomfited— evidently the religious motive would not work here. She must try another. "Well, but, Duncan, there is another consideration which has to do with practical life -your own interest. Mr. Benell is furious against you—every- body says so; and even if you win the uit he will < to you some :harm. I em sure he will—either force you to eave the country, or something of hat sort." "Let him try to," said Duncan very suietly, as with a geiture far beyond the words he folded;his arms upon his hest and squared his mighty should- rs. Not even his terrible Sunday coat— o far lesc.apprcpriate to his person lity- than the: oldest of his work -day garinents--could weaken the language f. that movement. Fenella, gazing p at him with reluctant admiration, eemed to see in the towering figure, n the proudly poised head, in that aze'which sternly swept the distance, the very impersonation of resistance, and felt her hopelessness growing it,h her alartn. ".But you will gain nothing, Dim - an," she said, lees Calmly -this ''thiree; "and your father will suffer too." "I am strong enough to stand by my father," The appeal to self-interest had failed as ignominiously as that to eon - science. There remained but one cai.'d to play. "But :f you were asked, Duncan- asked as a favor to waive your rights toe. withdraw your claim—would that not move you?" "If . iti asked? By whom?" ` By ane, Duncan," S'ee said it almost humbly, in deep agitation, her eyes raised deprecating- ly lyre s face.

Lesson—Sauteing Meats. Sueteing of meat is cooking meat in a small amount of fat. It is virtually impossible, when cooling molt in this manner, to prevent the meat from ab- sorbing the fat, thus making it dif- ficult to disgest. This is particularly true during the , warm 'weather and therefore this method' should be Mimi- nated then. Butter should not be used for cook- ing meat. By this method, owing to its low -burning point, the fat particles burn and decompose, when , n ect P subs ed to high temperature. Sueteingmeat has nothing to recommend it to the housewife; Pan broiling will ardduce a better tasting food and eliminate the digestive disturbances:. Pan broilingis also a much. easier method of cooking. You simply heat frying pan and place in the meat, turn and sear the other, side. Repeat this every two mizuites' until meat is ,cook- ed, using same test as in broiling. It is also 1 .0necessary:that • l <• �i at melting from meat during process of pan broiling be drained off. When neces- sary to cook meat in a fat, it should be protected by a coating such as egg and breadcrumbs, or by dipping in flour and then placed in very hot fat to brown. The meat can afterward be cooked at a 'Owe/. temperature to finish it, This method prevents the meat from absorbing the grease. Do not use a fork to turn the meat during process of cooking; the prongs of the fork puncture it, allowing the: juices to eScape, thus lessening its food value. The escaping' juices do not remain in the pan; the hes; causes them to evaporate. Follow these points when buying most invincible person in the world,? meat: says ;Major GIan Hay Beith, in "All In i 't l ra- AMINIOOMMOIIINNOW ASSAY Teas for �cor,� 1 Assam teas are the strongest and richest grown.

A layer of fat should cover the over- laying' inuseles. The fat should' be' ream white •azid of firm texture.. cleanly VALUE OF SOUP 1 iletlxods of cooking in the early his- tory of mankind were b3 stone boil- ing, a process which occupied nearly a day to complete: Meat juices or an additionof water and the animal flesh was the basis of soups. Soupmalcing, is an art: per- manently belonging to the French peo- ple. In Europe soup enters largely, into the daily life ofthe people; from peasan, to king the daily, portion of soup is taken. The exquisite French fashionable take their moriting cup of bouillon abed. The addition of a plate of soup to -the menu stimulates the- stomach's action, causes the digestive juices to flow and is readily absorbed, giving the body iinmediateaiourishment with- out distress to the digestive organs. For the school child, tired business men and women it is an ideal stim- ulant, nourishes . and refreshes, and with bread or crackers makes a sub- stantial lunch. Soups are divided into three classes —first, stock; second;' cream; third, fruit soups. Soups made from meat and bone are called stock; those with- out stock as cream, vegetables, clam N THE DAILY ,DIET. which is full of ;nutriment, costing abot'.t ten cents, will have nearly two ounces of meat attached; one pound. of the scrap end of neck df veal, four quarts of water. Wash bones and add cold water and bring slowly to boil, skim.. and then cover closely and cook four hours. By this time the meat will • have fallen from the bones. Strain and set- aside to get cold. To let stand overnight is best Then remove all the. fat from the top: Thins the basis of all soup sauces and gravies, rich in protein and in mineral matter and in gelatin: The meat can be taken from the bone, run. ' through a meat chopper and used for meat loaf, croquettes and meat -bis- cuits oh sausage, and it will make a tasty hash schen combined with ,po- tatoes and onions for breakfast. You now have a delicious and nutria tious broth, without seasoning of any, kind, which will keep in cold weather two or three days. In warm weath- er it must be returned" to the pot, brought to a boil and skimmed, left to cool aff and put in an icebox. Snxall"'portions ; of meat, ham, any_' trimming and bones that have been accumulated may be added. Chicken- feet, scalded with boiling water' to loosen the outer skin, which must be peeled off, together with the giblets of fowl, may be added to the stockpot. Seasoning and theaddition of vege-. tables in wai:'n weather cause :it to sour. Many varieties of soup are pos- sible with the,userof this stock. Celery Puree - One pint of diced celery, cook in one - cup of water until tender' put through a sieve and add' one cupful of 'stock, one cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of flour, mixed with a little milk; sea- soning, salt and pepper, one table- spoonful of chopped parsley: Bring to boil, cook three minutes and serve. To clear soup may be added maca- roni, noodles or ally vegetables. This is a good way to use" left=over por- tions -of vegetables that are too small to Serve alone. and oyster soups, and, lastly, those made from fruits. Stock or soup made from neat and bones, cooked by long and slow boiling, which dis- solves the soluble elements of the mea.:, and bones into water, thereby enriching it. The Stock Pot This should be a deep pot or kettle. with a tight -fitting lid; this is import- ant so that none of the 'steam may be lost by evaporation; the steam con- tains the aroma or fine volatile oils and essentials which all pass into the air. In a fairly large family little meat need be purchased for the stock pot, if the housewife insists that all the portions of bone and trimmings be, sent with the purchases of 'meat. The Frenchwomen look with horror on the women leaving all this scrap and trimming to the butcher. To Make the Stock A soup bone front the shin of beef,, immovable figure betraying that every fibre within waited for her next. words. "If' I ask you, Duncan, as a favor to myself -just•. to please me, you know—to drop the prosecution, would you do -it then? I should be so sorry if you had to leave the country, we have become such friends, have we not?" Still there came no reply; and she, thinking herself repulsed, since from his :averted face she could take no warning—continued to plead more urgently, and even with a point of re- proach, suggested by wounded vanity. "Really, Duncan, I did not think that you waffle have been so obstinate. It is the first thing I have ever asked of you,—and for your own good-"• She stopped short, for he•badttn•n- ed his face towards her, and what -she saw there struck her into silence., "W,hae's the use of all those words?' he was - saying, m a deep breathless' voice, and with a gesture as of impatience. "Don't you know thatnone would be enough? Don't you know that if you asked me for my right hand—or for my head, for the' natter of that, 1 would have nothing to give' you because they belong to you already? You begging favors of me, indeed! your little finger, Miss Fenella, that's all you would have to raise, to do with me what you would want." (To be continued), How Music is Used on- the Italian Front.
