The darling lit- tle fire-eater! Yes, I'd much better be dead when Belle hears of it!" "Yon mean that Hiram wouldn't care—•if I were—?" "Of course your Hiram would care -- ,in his way. But not in Belle's way." There was silence for what seemed a long time Finally Ruth was obliged to speak, "The water runs dozen your face and just drenches me!" rbe complain- ed. "That's gratitudel was his ironical comment. Insteadr of thanking me for warming up ties water which seethes me first, mind you, you're peeved that'you get it at all. I'm afraid you're no sport, Mise Goodnow." 'I don't care to be a sport," she answered back like a child. Childishly, tae, she was close to tears. "Well, if you don't like this, climb into my lap, Iittle one." He spoke be- tween his teeth. "Double weight will be blissful on a soft stone cushion like this under me." Detesting him as she had never be- fore detested anybody in her whole placid life, she was still glad to obey. She was numb to the knees and he bad almost to lift her to his lap, "Put your arms around my neck— tight." He wrapped his amts about her—tight. Ruth remembered the story of. the lovers bound breast to breast and thrown into a riven She appreciated now the fiendish penetration of the punishment. It had become quite dark, and the splashing of the water, multiplied by the cavernous recesses, was the only sound, "I'm nearly starved!" the girl whimpered at length. She could feel the man shake with suppressed laughter, ince Se "•Well, blubber is perfectly good! arctic food," he chuckled "and I'll bet you could supply us both." Ruth bad felt himself pretty brave up to that point. And this coarse ereattre on whose lap she sat,freez-i Lug, had scoffed at her first sign of weakness as "blubbering." But she choked back her anger wrath her Bars. Again there was a long interval in which they heard only the rush and eeho of the water. "Doesn't it seem alter dinner -time to you?" he asked. "It seems like day after to -morrow to me." she replied forlornly. "lif it were day after to -morrow it would still be to -dam" He seemed to be going out of his way to be dis- agreeable. "I fancy it's about nine o'eloelt. Time to take my own rescue measures." Ruth sat up and looked at him. She could not see him, but one couldn't ask a vital, question burrowed in a man's "Yon mean yon can do anything?" "Possibly. It will be pretty hard on you and on me so I didn't want to try rt except as a fast resort But this is the last resort—the last resort I ought to have come to for a holiday, eh? Holiday!" he groaned. "I'll taste jail for choice, next time. Bat we eaglet to do our darnedest, for the sake of Belle and Hiram. Can you stand up?" She felt for a footing among the atones, wondering dully at the inermer of man that could 'pan in the closed jaws of a glacier. The pail of water told her that she had thrust her foot into one of the mery tricking brooks, hut her foot was too numb to feet the water. She tried again, and would have fallen except for Hastings' arms. His voice showed his anxiety. "Phew, I hope I haven't waited too long! Belle is always fitter than I at the end of a. jaunt, and I judge other women by her. Back to the atone pile for you: He lilted her to it, and she managed with lois help to adjust herself as he prescribed. "Sit on one head, put your feet on the other, That 'brings your knees up so that you can lay your forehead on there. Wrap your arms around your shins,' He tightened her soggy ekirte about tier, Then something warns wars kid sterols her shoulders. It was his coat, "Oh, but I can't let you do thatla she protested. "You'll die—" "Hush!" he said steru+iy, "It isn't a preeent, I shall be worloing near the entrance just the other side of the block that fell, Tho largest opening is at that point and I'an going batty to otllarge it by taking tate Stones from the glacier bods The rock isn't solid there, The water will flow in es the 'mines come out, and my bends will get very cols. Every little while you'll 'have to warm them, That's how you'll pay for the coat Breathe with ell your might. And think of Hiram and Belk." Ruth set herself to breathe foe her Mie. The noise of the water was ln'oken now and then by the fall of a stone, es her solitude was broken at intervals by the man's return. She exclaimed with pity as she touched his wet, icy hands, and she did her best to warm them, breathing upon then, chafing then.. "Think you can stand it a little longer?" he would ask; and for very shame of sitting there up out of the Water, wearing his coat and doing no- thing, she would reply, "1 can if you can." And presently the stones would begin again to clink and splash. Thera are stars, but no moon, he re- ported at last. It began to take imag- er to warm his hands, as she had less warmth to give, and he said, "Twice }mare and maybe we can make it;" Then, "Once more," and finally—it seemed to the girl that he spoke from a great distance—"W'e'll try it noir."

There is no mystery about paper- hanging. An amateur can do the work as well as a professional. This saves a good deal of money, for roosts can be papered very cheaply if you do not have to pay for the labor, and nothing brightens a house more than well-chosen wail paper. Before selecting your paper it is of course necessary to measure the walls, so that you can buy just what is need- ed, with perhaps a little extra for future repairs. A double roll of wall paper contains 70 square feet; a single roil half this amount. A wail that has never been papered should first be covered with a good size, otherwise the paper will peel off. This is made by adding six quarts of hot water to one-half pound of glue which has been softened by standing all night covered with cold water. Walls that have been painted sbould be gone over with ammonia water— one part ammonia to six parte water. Cover board ceilings with cloth be- fore papering. The ceiling is papered as follows: Cut as many strips as well be •neees- eery to cover it, and leave long enough to allow the ends to lap down on the side wall about two inches, taking care to make the pattern match. Draw a chalk line across one end of the ceil- ing 16 inches from the wall, as a guide for hanging the first strip which goes between this line and the wall and will lap down on the side a little. Lay the strip on a table, apply the paste evenly, fold both ends toward the centre, making them meet, and being 'careful that the aides ars even. Trim the paper with shears. Unfold one end, commence at the side, and start lahe strip straight by the line, smooth- ing it down as you go with a brush. Zee') the rest of the paper in front of you, letting it hang over a roll of paper which you hold in your left hand. After the Brat strip de on the rest Is easy, The last strip musk aloe lap down on the side wall. Cut the paper for the side wall long enough to come wider the border a lii;tle, Begin to lay it at the side of a window or door; unfold the top of the strip, pus in po- li7'tion, then work downward, Lay oei each etrip in the same manner, put on the border, and the work is done. You an make a very good pasts by robbing a pint and a half of flour smooth in a quart of cold water, To this add Lour quarts of boiling water, and boil slowly for ten minutes, stir- ring constantly.

Mere Often then not, te wall paper which has appear- ed soiled to you will be found to be in first -elate condition, only having been dimmed by the refloated color of the shabby wood'workt The old paint will come oil easily If you use a scraper, and after brushing' with a stili brush go over the surface I1lg_1ta�ly with sandpaper.. }VII nail bolls ov other blemishes in the wood, With putty. ,Always cover the floor with papers or old cloths before beginning work, This saves trouble later an, for paint 'tains are not easily removed. The can e readyrnaxed paint must be well stirred, for the color settles when standing, and unless it is stirred the color of the paint at the top will be several degrees lighter than that at the bottom of the can. Put the fleet moat on lightly, wait until it is dry, and then add the final coat. Never paint unless the air is warm and dry. If the day le fine, have the windows and doors open, so that a current of air will day the paint. Por the ceilings a coat of milli: whitewash or quicklime whitewash is a splendid finish. It can be tinted or used dead white, the latter being so soft and clear that it is generally considered to be better than the tinted whitewash. The surface to be treated should be free from dust, and if there ars any cracks in the plaster fill them in. The plaster should be sifted into a bowl, and then mired with cold water until it is about the substance of very soft dough. This is easily worked into the crevices with a mall trowel or a knife blade, either of which should be dipped in cold water, so that the plaster will not stick. This work should be done quickly, so that the plaster will not have time to set before it is in plaee. Mix only a small quotntity of plaater at a time. It should be allowed to sat at least twenty-ifour hours before the paint or whitewash is applied. Sometimes It Is a Question of How to Sell. Alice was an invalid who could sit! up only a part of the day, She could I sew beautifully, but how dispose of her wares? She was clever at snak- ing little collars and jabots from her piece bag, getting the ideas from the women's magazines and adding others of her own. She felt the need of mak- ing some pin -money and atunlbled upon this novel way of selling her work. AJtlee made up a dpeen attractive little bows, ties and collate, with the price pinned to each, packed them neatly in a heavy manila envelope and enclosed another stamped, addressed envelops for return.

InveGenius muhafed by Pntiveresent Scal'Sticity of Wood Pulp. The comparative scarcity of pulp for paper -malting and the consequent high prices for newsprint are reflect- ed in the stimulus given to research all over the world in an endeavor to widen the fisid df raw malarial for paper manufacture. A brief review or some of the possible oompetttw0 with Canadian spruce and balsammay be Snteresting, Esparto Is a graselilte p'•ant found in Spain, Algeria, and Tripoli. it wet+ used for paper -making in Great lir' tain as early as 1857, During the war, the scarcity of other gotirees of MAP gave it greater prominence. The fibres are abort anti weak, and the Pub) is best used for filling and is elm 'toyed largely In mixtures with longer and 'stronger fibres. In papers in which considerable strength is need- ed, not more than 20 per tent. of es- parto can be used. Zacaton is a plant belonging to an American genus of the same family as esparto. It le principally found in Mexico, where it grows profusely in certain regions, Experiments with this material, conducted by theklnreaa of Plant Induetry'of the U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture, showed that a satisfactory paper could be made from it by means of the soda process. Indeed, the report of tbo investigation was published on paper shade from zacaton. The experiments were not, however, conducted on a scall suf- ficient to make any estimate of the cost of manufacture. At present. za- caton is a waste product and flourish- es in a region remote from paper - man ufacto ring centres. Makes Good Grade of Paper. Kemp hurde have also been investi- gated by the Bureau of I'Iaut Indus- rty. After several trials, ander con- ditions of treatment and manufacture regarded as favorable in comparison with those used for pulpwood, ptiper was produced which received very favorable comment both from investi- gators and from the trade, and which, according to official tests, would be classed as No. 1 machine -finish print- ing paper. The quantity available id not great, however. Flax straw and tow may replace imported ilaxwaete in the manufac- ture of wrapping and writing paper. It this can be done, a market would be furnished to Canadian farmers for disposing of what is now a waste pro. duct, Bamboo. is coming to the fore in India and Burmah. Mr. William Raiff, consulting oelluloee export to the Indian Government, states that there remain no practical difficulties in transforming bamboo Into pulp. Bamboo hes the great advantage that it renews itself annually, whereas pulpwood takes half a century to grow. Tropieal reeds and grasses found in the Nile "sudd" of the 13ahra:-Gra- zal province of the Sudan have been, experimented with for paper -making, and, whifo complete surceas has net been attained, it is quite poasible that the difficulties will be eventually over- come. The supply is unlimited. Auhinga, a plant growing along tite backs of the sluggish rivers of tile state of Para, Brazil, is stated to be an excellent paper -making material,. but the great Drains to be obtained in the rubber Industry have hitherto hindered its exploitation. Mills are note, however, being put•in operation toe the utilization of this fore.
