OR, A DECLARATION -OF WAR.
CHAPTER xxi.--(00ava.)
"Not, so fer—hat its coming—never
fearl've got an idea which 1 hope'
vitt work, I mean to pereuade my
father that Fenella ought to leave us
for a bit. We've got friends in Glas-
gow; Pll get her an invitation; and,
once shate^ gone, there are ail sorts. of
possibilities. She's so pretty that
:she's bound to pick- up admirers, and if
Duncan gets jealous—and his devil's
pride will serve well bere—a mistake
so easily arises."
He was speaking with that hurried
eagerness, that beillancy of gaze which
betrays a fever of raind and almost of
body. As Mr, Berrell watched him a
curious smile distended his thick lips.'
"I see. And if a mistake refuses'
to arise, I suppose it wouldn't be 29
difficult to give it a shove, eh?" ,
Albert's flush deepened, but his eyes
did not drop,
"If it was to save her from life-leng
misery I should consider even subter-
fuge allowable,"
It was boldly said, under the instinc-
tive avid:ion, that here was no need'
for over -delicate consideration of nice.
points of honor.
MraBerrell said nothing. He was
looking away from Albert now, to-
wards the face of rock opposite on
which the human ants were busy.
"It's not a bad idea; I think?", per-
sisted Albert.
i
tain. There must be quicker ways
than that."
"I can think of no quicker way
which wouldn't collide with the law of
the land," said Albert, with a nerv-
our laugh, devoid of all gaiety.
"There he is!" remarked the mana-
ger suddenly, pointing a big finger,
across the abyss at their feet.
'"Ilhat fellow on the rope—there be-
side the long cleft—the one swingingn
just now—wee?"
"Deuced slow, and deuced uncer-
Aolert strained his eyes towards the
hian, who, suspended from a height,
of some forty feet, was at that mo-
ment swaying rapidly feom side to
side in avoidance of some loose stones:
' from above, and with a sheer wall of
eome two hundred feet descending'
straight from under him. The face'
of rock on which he worked bristled:
with iron spikes as a pincushion with
pine. After five or eas: lively swings,'
he cheated 'himself by one of them,
and astride upon that perilous seat,'
eet to work again with his tool. Al- :
though the sight was not new WM,'
beet, yet merely to took on gave a
alightly sick feeling.
"It would be an awful fall,'" he.
Faid, speaking law. "He would be
smashed to pieces, I suppose?"
"To smithereens! That's a quick
way, ifyou like!"
He laughed in a fashion which grate
di strangely upon Albert's nerves,
The yotmg man could not forbear a
shudder.
"But these aceidents are very rare,
are they not?"
"Pre* rare. If they slip oft the
• peg, there is the rope, you see."
"And does the rope never break?"
'Never' is a big; word. They're
periodilally inspected, of course; but
with the amount of friction they go
through, mishaps can't be equite ex-
cluded. It all depends upon the man
above. If the fastening isn't secure,
or if the rone, gets rubbed through, it's
he who is responsible:"
Albert laughed in his tinrin a little
shrilly. "1 shouldn't like the man
above to have a grudge against me."
"Might be awkward, certainly, con-
sidering that one slice of his pockets:
'Knife Would send you to glory. And.
the man above isn't a man at all in
this case; as you see, but a mere boy.
Ire can't get anything but a crew of
boys nowadays. Strikes me a bit
foolhardy of him to put his life into
such juvenile hands.
"Foolhardy, beyond words," Said Al-
bert, with conviction: .

ger teamed, and gave' a quite super -

He gave another awkward laugh,
his white -negro face looking almost
foolishaae he did so. For a moment
ta" so the two men, avoiding each oth-
ers eyes, stared across at the grey
wall of the amphitheatre, with the
seers of the blasts, and the white
quartz veins running over, its face,
while the familiar "chip, chip" sound-
ed loud in their ears.
"It's shocking to think of," said Al -
beet quickly, after that moment, and,
for the second time to -day, put out his

For the second tim.e Mr. Berrell de-
layed taking it, jerking his eyes back
to the other's face.
"You've heard of the return?"
"Whose return?"
"The Attertons. Due at Ballad-
rochit on Saturday."
"How do you know?" asked Albert
precipitately,
"Had. it from Mrs. Perkin, who had
It from the 13alladroehit housekeeper.
It's quite fixed,"
Albert stood for a moment longer;
apparently trying to collect Inc
thoughts. Then finally took his leavlx,
"j'rn afraid you're in for a bad spell.
Looks like dieby weather."
"Pm afraid so too. All the more
reason for getting over in time." '
He walked rapidly away, slitikere by
a. new and strong feeling of repulsion
for his Jij ture bro that singl aw, htit
nevertheless aware that the seed of
sone eort of a new idea had been drop-
ped into his mind.

but sprung at his throat in the lane'
beside the. spaewife's grave. Projects
—mediaeval in their simplicity.— of
proposing to his antagonist a sort of
rustic duel, upon whose issue the de-
eision should depend, whirled through
his brain, only to be as inevitably re-
jected as the first suggestion. What
remained? Nothing that he could
see, beyond a general -resolve to keep
his senses on the alert, and a vague
confidence in that saying which as-
serts that the gods have a habit of
helping those who help themselves.
Ah, but they would have to help
quickly, with Saturday so close!
The "dirty" weather predicted by'
Mr. Herren had become dirtier by next
day. So wild was the morning, and •
the loch so formidable with white
crests, that Albert, having taken a,.
look round, perforce gave up all hope'
of seeing his spirit -level that day. l
Smithy avork was about all the day'
was fit for, apparently; so, having"
given his orders for a general over-
hauling of implements; Albert retirecl.
to his den and to his Primitive lunch,
He 'had barely done eating ithwiths
I out the smallest relish—since nothing
nowadays seemed t� have any, taste
in his mouths—when, gazing idly
through the window, in one of the
comparatively peatefiel intervals; he
let out an "Ah!" of surprise, for upon
the tumultuous field of- water a black
speck which could only be a boat was
plonglung its way onward
"as''''an it be my spirit -level, after
all he asked hirraself, well -pleased.
'aTulia Must have bribed that fellow
finely!"
That the craft wee making f,or the
loch -end was clear, from the simple,
tact that there was nowhere else to
make for.
He waited until the shape of the
plunging beat became plain, and then,
taking his cap, walked down to the
water's .edge, and stood there expect-
antly, . The tide was at its highest
just then and the rocky galleries,
running along for a mile: or taw> on
either side of the narrow' loch -end,
deeply submerged, With only some
trailing end of their ,seaweed draper-
ies floating up nt mornente into sight.
The four or five boats tethered at
the landing -stage were curtseying
tumultuously, and,, with the rage of
ethe last. squall barely spent, its suc-
cessor was already pushing eitsblack
head round the .shoulder of the hill.
The herons that dwelt among the ash -
trees above came flapping back un-
easily from a brief fishing excursion.
When the boat was within a hundred
yards of the shore, Albert suddenly
craned his, neck and kept it rigid, his
eyes narrowing in their sockets. .

TRY THESE ONE -DISH DINNERS.
Fish Chowder in your stove so that you can cook it.
Rabbit, fowl, or any meat may be
used instead of the fish, or tomatoes
instead of milk. Carrots may be omit-
ted. 11/2 pounds fish (fresh, salt, or
canned), 9 potatoes, peeled and cut in
small pieces, 1 onion, sliced, 2 cups
carrots cut in pieces, 1/2 pound salt
pork, 3 cups milk, pepper, 3 table -
^spoons flour. Cut pork in small
pieces and fry with the chopped onion
for five minutes. Put pork, onions,
carrots, and potatoes in kettle and cov-
er with boiling water. Cook until
vegetables are tender. Mix three
tablespoons of flouravith one-half cup
of the cold milk and stir in the liquid
in the pot to thicken. Add the rest
of the milk and the fish which has
beenecemovecl from the bone and cut in
small pieces. Cook until the fish is
tender, about 10 minutes, Serve hot.
You can omit salt pork and use a
tablespoon of other fat.
Dried Peas with Rice and Tomatoes.
11/2 cups rice, 2 cups dried peas, 6
onions, 1 tablespoon salt, 14 teaspoon
pepper, 2 cups tomato (fresh ea. -can-
ned). Soak peas over night in two
quarts of water. Cook until tender in
water in which they Soaked. Add rice,
onions, tomato, and seasonings and
cook 20 minutes. s
Potted Hominy and Beef '
Hominy is excellent to use as part of
a one -dish dinner, if you have a fire
for a long time, .or use a fireless cook-
er, Heat 11/2 quarts of water to boil-
ing; add 1, teaspoon of salt and 2
CUPS of hominy which has been soaked
overnight. Cook in a double boiler'
for four hours or in the 'fireless cook-
er overnight. This 'makes 5 cups.
This recipe may be increased and en -1
ough cooked in different ways foe sev-
eral meals. Hominy is excellent com-
bined with dried, canned, or fresh fish,
or meat and vegetable left -overs may
be used. Here is one combination:
5 cups cookea hominy, 4 potatoes, 2
'cups carrots, 1 teaspoon salt, 1A pound
dried beef, 2 cups milk, 2 tablespoons
fat, 2 tablespoons flour. Melt the fat,
stir in the flour, edd the cold milk, and
mix well. Cook until it thickens. Cut
the potatoes ,and carrots in dice, mix
all the materials in a baking dish, and
bake for one hour.
These dishessupplyall five kinds of
food. ,Each is enough for the whole
dinner for a family of five. Eat them
with bread and with' fruit or jam for
dessert. Then you will have all the
five kinds of food your body needs.
These five kinds are1-1 lVlilk, cheese:
eggs, fish, meat, beans, peas. 2. Cereal:
corn, rice, oats, rye, wheat. 3: Syrup,
sugar. 4. Eats: batter, oleomargar-
ine. 5. Vegetables, fruits.
Choose something from each of
'these five groups every -day. ,
The Clean Plate.
"Please don't eliminate the leftovers
altogether. My husband and boys
like some of my left -over dishes bet-
ter than the originals."
Thus reads a letter just received
from a reader, From what she says
and from .the examples of the dishee
^she makes from those left-ovets,' it ie
very easy to see that she is one of
those rare cooks who *este nothing

But the moral of the slogan "Elirrii-
nate the left -overs" is this: Nothing
should be left over that cannot be
used, and remember that left -over
dishee which are numb costly after the
necessary \additions are mado to trans-
form them into palatable foods than

However, the clean plate reerga,
mended by the Food Controller is a
matter which cannot be argued. "I
hate to be so skimpy about my serv-
ing that I cannot, tell whether my
children are satisfied or not," reads a
letter from a person who preaches and
practices generosity. 'nig ie the old
Canadian attitride. But look at it in
this light: Tiff generesityyou show
in serving your children and your
guests more than they want is de-
priving other human beings some-
where in the world of food which is
actually necessary for their existence.
