It was into this seething pot that Charlton and Stella Lathrop lowed themselves, east when the trek evhielt lead brought them from Jasper reach- ed the City. On the train they had he,ard vague and excited. rumors of what awath ited em. There were sen- Sational reports of a reign of blood- shed and terror which Charlton, even though he knew the Inner Council planned such an. outbreak, Vnalrm.aci Stella not to believe unibil she saw it actually going on. They bad grown very close during the journey together. Charlton. sens- ing that it would. embarrass her to suggest a Pullman, had resigned hem, - self to a seat beside her in the cheiT car. Neither had grown sleepy until late and they had whiled away sev- eral hours talking in low tones and makeng plans for the d.artgerous ww, which (Stella was to undertake, sub- ject of course, to revision by Chief Melton. And beeaus,e whispered come- deneee tend to take a personal turn, Charlton had learned a great many, things about this girl. 1 For one thing he discovered that when she made the effort she ceseld talk •correctly, with only occasional lapse -s into th.e slang of the uneier-1 wor'se at the language of the enema; thin. folk from which she had sarung. He had remarked the fact that when: he Mterviewed her at the doer of her1 room in the city hotel she had talked. illiterately and so, when rhe had net him in Jasper an,d conversed as welll as if she had, been a society woman,l he had h.een surprised.

But she earerised him nose when Lae. •conficled. that Judge' Graham had offeTed to take her into; his herre and give her the opportunity; eel acquiring an education. The old juietsts touched by the girl's kindnese ; to hem was de -Emilie -tad that if Elie desired it she -should h(afe a 'chance to - become sornebh.in,g better than the 'amble people from wh(orn she sprung. At the station Charlton exaus.e.d himself and reported his return to Chid Milton by telephone. "Bring her up at once," ordered the chief whert he heard that Stella La - three had ac.companied Charlton.

It is not liikeler.that any one found it, but last night it was gone." "We must sensi out word to arrest him on. sight," exclaimed Chief Mib ton. "As a matter of protection to you, Miss Lathrop, for Judge Graham positively refuses to prosecute him for kidnapping. I Ta.ther think that he is doing so more out of regard for what h,e believes are your feelings for Vogel." "I have no feelings for Vogel," re- plied Stella earnestly. "Only a few days ago I believed that I loved him, .gunman, thief and crook that he was. Now I know that it was not love, and the feeling I had for him then is gone now. It died the minute he lifted his hand against me." Charlton mumbled something which neither af the others understood, but it sounded suspiciously like "Hurrah." "In that -case there remains nothing for ns to do but to adenheisteT the oath af loyalty to the United States," said Cihief '"I don't believe it is necessary, but perhaps you wall feel better for having taken it.

I would lose the regard. of the whole world rather than keep an. oa,ble that means the betrayal of,my country." • And So it was arranged. Stella again took up her abode in the hotel from which she had fled, 0,nd that very night she visited the radical book store which served as a camouflage for t'ne meeting place of the Inner Circle. With some trepidation and fear she a.pproacked the aged book- seller, but 'he: admitted her to the In- ner Cirale without question. Lebrune was not in evidence aroun,d the cou•neil table. The fat man sat in the president's chair, and Stella's fears vanished. "You ha-ve been away?" he asked "Yes, visiting my people" she re- plied, curtly. "The trip was unex- pected. I had no chance to notify any one." "And our worthy president? Ile also leas been ealled away?" The tones of the fat man were sneering and they held, hieirsuation. Far a moment Stella h.ad difficulty in h•olding herself in check at the itleult. "I have not eeen him," she Tepliccl.

Continue the freezing to insure thor- ough meeting, remove the dasher and pack. ,-.. n ' Almond maearos-aie useci for the genuine bisque ice cream, but crumb- ed brown bread makes a satisfactory substitute. When several 'flavors are , used in ice cream, as in. the above I recipe, allowernore time for the ripen - 1 ing or blending.

Three cupful's of strawberries or red raspberries can be substituted for the peaches, or a can of crushed pineapple can be used. Fruit must be;thoroughly mashed or crushed, or it will freeze into pellets. Water -ices are delicious but lack the food value found in ice cream, therefore are lees desirable for chil- dren. In making water -ices, boil the sugar and water together for just five minutes by the clock, end remove the scum everile hot, strain the syrup through a fine cloth and cool before adding the fruit juice.

The Tragedy of Age. • We read much of -the tragedy .of qld age, but isn't it rather the_tragedy of youth? After isn't the, tragedy simply the crop which youth sowed back there in the sprirrg of life, and which middle age *carefully tended and brought to harvest time? Can old age be anything different from the crop of habits sewn? Can we expect the miracle to happen at the last, and all the things which should have been pruned off years ago to be made right, just because the person has grown old.? We reap'whiat we sow as truly in 'human life as in seed life. _ The tragedy' of aid-ike is "not po-V- erty, but loneliness. And harsheas it May sound ,t people -ere lon(ely because they are unlovely.
