Why, a man must live," Christo- tcr seid at last, with a short laugh; 'I have been used to company, and if I did not sometimes go among men who are not afraid to be men, I should mould and dry -rot both at once in this place. It is all that keeps one alive in such a dull dog's hole as Cairn Edward." The blue eyes were still upon hint with a yearning in them that made even the selfishness of Christopher :Kennedy wince. "Ana what of me?" she said, soft as a breathing, yet with an accent that pierced to the dividing asunder of soul and marrow. "Lilias, Lilias," he cried, in genuine pain, "I love you, I tell you so. That rights all. What difference does it make what people may say? What do a parcel of farmer folk and villagers matter to us? You know what your Bible says, something about 'for this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave unto his wife l' „ She kept her eyes fixedly upon him, and their regard was deep and steady as the sea when it is stillest. "His wife!"'She breathed the two words again, and the wind among the waterside willow trees was not softer, nor the dying soul's parting cry more tragic. "His wifeJ The young man nerved himself, and dashed in the rapid voice of one who fears interruption, into an obviously premeditated speech. "Listen, Lilias," he said, "I have told you why I cannot marry you openly, though God knows I would be glad and; proud to do it to -morrow. My father put me through college and I promised to repay him before I married. He is poor and needs the money. Besides, it would ruin me in Cairn Edward if such a thing were known, and I have good hopes of the headmastership. Then again your father thinks me godless and debauch- ed. He told me so openly, upon the Plainstones of Dumfries when I met him there three months ago. He for- bade me ever again to enter his door. Ile forbade me to meet you. He would never consent.

She caught the classical master by the arm. "Chris," she whispered, "what have you told bel—what does she know?' He smiled and patted her fondly on the shoulder, "Silly one, only what I would that all the world knew/' he said, "that I love you and, would like to marry yowl" She was silent, but she sighed the long, weariful sigh of hope deferred. "Goof- bye," he said, and bending a long moment to her he was gone At the top of the moor, fore he plunged down the long, rough, heath- ery steep, he turned and waved a white handkerchief. Lilies Armour stood where he had left her. She did not wave a response, but kept her hands clasped before her, looking steadfastly after her lover.

Then his wife, flustered to find them all silent and waiting, sat down and endeavored to smooth her hair with one hand, while she found the place with the other, naturally enough failing in both. But there were tears in the eyes of one within the wide sunny house -place of Dornal as they sang to the wistful rise and fall of the Elder's favorite Coleshill the final verse of the open- ing song of praise: I, like a lost sheep, went astray: Thy servants seek and find: For thy commands I suffered not To slip out of my mind. and her gaze did not falter.

"I do not know; I have had no one to trust, to speak to, except youl I do not want any other," she answered him, the firmness of her gaze waver- ing under his burning glances. She felt the weakness inherent to all lov- ing women coming over her. "Another we must have.

"Bitter are the rigors of righteous- ness, and by them the merciful are shamed and sinners confirmed in their evil way." This may not be a text out of the written Word, nevertheless it em- balms somewhat of the spirit of the Great Forgiver of sins. It was the morn of the Sabbath some months after the early meeting between the classical master and Lilias Armour. The solemn Taking of the Book was over in the farmhouse of Dornal, but Matthew Armour, Rul- ing Elder in the Cameronian Kirk, still sat with the Bible open before him. His face, with its shock of sil- vering hair sweeping back from the noble cliff -like brow, was sober with more than Roman gravity. His wife gatbered together the folded white handkerchief, the spectacles and the psalm -book which were her indisllen- sables at any function of a religious character. She had learned by the experience of half a lifetime, added to her original store of woman's instinct, when it "wasna chancy" at such times to stand long in theway of her hus- band. Now in that hush of Sabbath silence which she knew so well, she was especially eager to be gone. But even in the doorway the voice of the Elder arrested her. "Margaret Armour, bid our daugh- ter Lilias come hither to me!" he said. "Hoot, Matthew," urged his wife, "be canny. I ken the young man is no great professor, and his ways are no oor am homely ways—but dinna fret the young lass. The lad is weel- to-do, and of a decent family enough, though they say an Episcopalian." "Silence, woman, do as I bid you instantly," commanded the Ruling El- der; "It is with my daughter and yours that'I desire to speak!' "Mathy—Mathy, mind that we aro a' sinners," the mother pleaded, "mind that ye were yince young yoursel," "And if so, think you not that I have suffered in the flesh for the deeds of the flesh. Think you that I do not wet my pillow many a night for the sins of my youth. And if my children must suffer, it shall not be 'because no warning word has been spoken, or no strong hand outstretched to de- liver. Send in the lass!" With a little helpless appeal of the hands and a sidelong sway of the head) in acknowledgment of the fact that of course her word went for nothing, Margaret Armour took herself off to do as she was bid, She found Lilias standing with a book in her hand 1 under the great beech tree by the house gable. But she was not reading. 'Her eyes, large and vague, their some- time bright blue•dintnied with sadness and tears unshed, were fixed on the distant hills at the foot of which lay Cairn Edward.

Buy as good a quality of prunes as your purse affords, remembering that there are as many pits as prunes to the pound,therefore very small prunes do not pay. A prune boiled is a prune spoiled. To cook, wash very carefully, then put to soak over night. next morning, drain, put the water in which the prunes were soaked, on to boil, and boil until reduced one-half. Add the prunes and allow them to come to a boil, then remove from the fire. Cooked thus, they require no sugar. Prune Souffle requires one-half pound prunes, one teaspoonful extract of vanilla, whites of three eggs and one-half cupful of sugar. Wash prunes, cover with water and allow to soak for two hours. Then in the same water cook slowly (in a covered vessel) until tender. Drain and cool, remove pits and rub prunes through a colander. Beat egg whites to a stiff' froth, add sugar and vanilla to prunes, then fold gently into whites of eggs. Pour lightly into a well - buttered glass baking dish and bake' in a moderate oven for 20 to 25 min- utes. (Vanilla can be omitted and a few finely chopped prune kernels sub- stituted for the flavoring if desired.) This Prune Pudding is worth trying —it requires two cupfuls of cooked Minard's Liniment Heads Cuts. "DIAMOND DYE 17 A BEAUTIFUL COLOR Perfect home dye.

It is made with two cupfuls of soft bread crumbs, one-quarter cupful of butter, one-half cupful brown sugar (use three-quarters of a cupful if prunes are unsweetened), one-half teaspoon- ful of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg, ane -half cupful prunes cooked, pitted and chopped or cut, three-quarters of a cupful prune juice (amount varies with dryness of, the bread crumbs)., Melt butter and stir into bread crumbs.

CHILDREN'S AFTERNOON LUNCHES. It used to be the worry of my life when first one and then another of the children would come in and say: "May I have some bread and butter?" I was never through running to the pantry, and when I was busy they were sent to the pantry to help themselves. This is poor policy for anyone who values a tidy pantry. Finally I hit upon the happy plan of preparing a lunch before clearing away the dinner things. Each child's lunch is wrapped separately, and all is packed in a pail and set away in a cool place where the children can get it themselves.—S. M.

"Then you're old enough to know that there's a danger zone in front of every person who sneezes," he said, and as he said it I noticed that he had his oflce face on. He looked rather serious. "Danger zonal" "Yes, danger zone. For a sneeze le more than sound and air. If it were not it wouldn't matter.

I didn't interrupt. The doctor was on hisjob handing out to me for noth- ing precione knowledge for which he had paid much In time 'effort, money and experience. "I have no doubt that that titan who sneezed is a good fellow, good sport perhaps," the doctor went on, "Most likely he would feel terribly bad it lie learned suddenly that he had passed on a bad cold to somebody and that :that person had lost time, money, wages, and that lila family had suffer- ed In consequence.
