CEIAPTER II.—(Cont'd).
He looked at her a little shyly. She
was small and slight, with a very
white skin and pale -blue eyes, lashes
and eye -brows as light-colored as the
hair. There were many elements of
prettiness and also of delicacy in the
face, spellt partly by a too thin and
wide mouth, which she seemed to have
some difficulty fn keeping under con-
trol. Its extreme and nervous mob-
ility, whether during speech or silence,
was almost disquieting.
As the student looked, some dim re-
collectioa Mitred. That aggressively
fair hair was a thing to remain lodg-
ed in the memory, however sub-
conseiously. Thankful for the
chance of uniting civility and veracity,
he murmured:
"Yes a now that you say it, I remem-
ber. Thank you most kindly—thank
you again."
He wits on the point of turning de-
finitely, having become unpleasantly
aware that they were still occupying
the same spot on the pavement, when
she spoke again quickly.
"Is thit your first term at the Uni-
versity?"
"How do you know I am at the Uni-
versity?"
She kissed her fair head ever so
slightly.
"As if that was difficult to guess!
What else would you be doing at the
corner of University Road everyl
morning? And the books? Why, II
even know what course you're follow-
ing," she added, with a touch of
coquetry—but of fairly discreet coque- I
try—in her glance. "I couldn't help I
seeing toe titles of some of those
volumes an your bag, and though II
don't understand them, I know that
they caret mean anything but the
Church!'
She paused and sunk her eyes in a
sudden aecess of nervous shyness.
"Pin a stranger, of course, and have
ter right to say anything, but I should
like to oak you one question: Have
you no one to look after you?"
"To look after me?"
"Yes; 1 mean, to keep you from
studyingtoo hard. Do you know
that you've been growing thinner ever
since October?
From an acquaintance of five min-
utes' standing, the remark was startl-
ing; yet there was so much genuine
sympathy in the voice, and in the
working of the unsteady mouth, that
even a less conventional man than this
one happened to be, might have;
accepted i without another thought.1
There was far more gratitude than
sarcasm in •the tone in which he re-
plied: •
"Thank you, you are very kind; but.
I ani really quite well I make up
for it in summer, you see."
"Oh, do you 7" she said, with eyes
that looked frankly curious; but the!
student's shyness could stand no more.
"I'm afreid I must go," he said hur-
riedly, "My time is up."
"So is mine," admitted his compan-
ion, glancing at the clock on the
neighboring church tower. "In five
minutes I've got to be at—at my of-
fice in William Street. Good-bye,
then, for the present, and please don't
lose your sandwiches."
If in the farewell glance there wee
more than Christian fellow -felling,
John ti'Donnell, for want of a preced-
ent to go upon, did not discover it.
As he trudged upwards toward the
temple of learning, looming dimly out
of a curtain of fog, he was neverthe-
lase vaguely aware of an unoxpeeted
break in the monotony of this present
existynce. The five winter months
spent among the din end grime and
hurry of Glasgow had hitherto been
ono continual and very dull form of
sacrifice, rendered bearable only by
the end in view. What he had suffer,
ed at his first introduction to town -
life could probably not be appreciated
by anybody or anything short of a fish
out of water. Even now he would
still dream, shuddering of the in-
credulous horror which had seized him
at the first sight of that forest of
chimneys vomiting smoke towards an
invisible ally; while for years to come,
Buchanan Street Station was to re-
am -an for him a sort of standing night-
mare. If he had not believed in
hell before, he certainly would have
been converted to the dogma from the
moment of his passage through that
human pandemonium. And the
streets were not much better. His
eye, accustomed to plumb the many -
tinted depths of heather -clad hills,
left, between these walls of dingy
masonry, an imprisonment that was
almost a physical pain. The mists of
his Highland home were indeed thick;
but how pure, how sweet to the nos-
trils, beside the unclean fumes which
was the perfume shed by that grim,
stone forest.
Tho plunge into study—so hard for
a man not trained to consecutive
brain-work—was the only thing that
made the home -sickness bearable.
Upon a little pocket calendar he would
faithfully score out each day from
October to March. With what silent
joy the "stiudant" would yearly ex-
change his town clothes for the white
duck trousers and the blue serge
jacket, his books for the double ham-
mer—it would take an exile to under-
stand. Upon the hope of that mo-
ment he lived through the winter; and
upon the hope of it return which
should be permanent, he had lived
through these years—yet they were
years of bondage as hard as those of
Jacob in the house of Label'. Al-
ready was the goal appearing over the
haziness, since this was his third term,
and since one more would see bim in
orders. More' than this, circum-
stances were conspiring in his favor -
The present pastor of souls at Ard-
loch was ageing fast and yearning for
rest—had, in fact, at the Bishop's
speeial instence,a r d to last" onl
until John M'Donnell should be ready
to take his place. For the Bishop,
who was a brisk, cheerful, jolly per-
sonage, with a good-natured propen-
sity for letting people have their own
way, had taken up John's cause warm-
ly, not the less warmly, perhaps, be-
cause such cases never failed to shed
credit on the diocese. In his most
sanguine dreams, John had not dared
to hope for anything so speedy, as this.
With all the more unshakable belief in
his "call" did he toil onwards.
Food Value of Legumes/.
Legumes, such as peas, beans and
lentils, are rich in protein. Peas are
commonly called the poor man's beef,
one plate of split pea soup being equal
in food value to two ounces of beef
if a little milk is added. The cost
per plate is only 1 2-3 cents.
To serve 8 people generously use 1
cup dried split peas Oh pound), 21/2
quarts of cold water, 1/2 medium sized
onion, 2 -inch cube of fat salt pork, 3
tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons
ol flour, salt and pepper and 1 pint of
milk. Soak the peas overnight to
soften and draw out the bitter flavor,
drain well, add water, pork and onion.
Bring to the boiling point and sim-
mer 3 to 5 hours or until very soft,
Add butter and flour cooked together,
then seasoning and rub through a
sieve. Add the milk and re -beat,
Three quarts of soup stock and no milk
may be used in place of the water.
The food principle lacking in
legumes is fat, so the addition of fat
becomes necessary. The long, slow
cooking necessary to soften legumes
is of paramount importance, and this
is the reason that many people do not,
make the use of legumes that they
should.
Some Fish Dishes.
Salmon Loaf.—One (half -pound)
can salmon, one egg, two cups bread -
crumbs, one cup hot water, one table-
spoon melted butter, dash of pepper
and salt, minced parsley. Skin and
mince fish reserving liquor for sauce.
Bub butter well into fish. Work in
crumbs, seasoning and egg. Steam
in mold for one hour. Set in cold wa-
ter cne minute and turn out. Good
sauce to serve with loaf is made of
one tablespoon butter, two tablespoons
flour, one cup hot milk, one egg, lemon
juice, seasoning and salmon liquor.
Boil first three until creamy, add sal-
mon liquor and beat egg, and lastly
seasoning and lemon juice to taste.
Fish Balls. -21/2 Cupfuls of flaked
fish, 1 egg, 1 oz. of butter, 41/2 cupfuls
of potatoes, seasoning. Wash and
peel the potatoes and cut in small
cubes. Boil them till soft, with the
flaked fish, drain off the water, mash
together and add the egg, and sea-
soning. Beat well with a wooden
spoon, shape into balls, sprinkle with
flour and fry golden brown in very hot
fat. Serve with tomato sauce. This
makes twelve balls.
Baked Stuffed Haddock.—Clean four
pound haddock, sprinkle with salt, in-
side and outside, stuff and sew. For
!stuffing mix one-half cup cracker
I crumbs, one-half cup stale bread-
: crumbs from which crusts have been
removed, one-fourth cup melted but-
ter, one teaspoon finely chopped onion,
, one-fourth teaspoon salt, one-eighth
teaspoon pepper and one-third cup hot
water.Cut five diagonal gashes on
each side of backbone and insert strips
of fat salt pork. Place cn greased
sheet in drigging pan, sprinkle with
salt and pepper, brush over with melt-
ed butter and flour chop and place
around fish two 3 by 4 inch slices of
fat salt pork. Bake one and one-
fourth hours in hot oven, basting every
ten minutes.
During all these three years he had
never spoken to a woman besides the
landlady of the little East -end room
in which, despite the distance from
the University, he lived for economy's
sake. It was only by the _strictest
frugality—such frugality as was re-
presented by the daily packet of
sandwiches—that he could manage to
make his earnings of the summer cov-
er the toxpenses of the winter. No
place of amusement had ever seen
him, and not one of the women who
threw inquiring and approving glances;
at the tall figure with the small, fine-
ly -cut head, could boast that she had
ever made him aware of her existence,'
He had eyes and ears only for Ms,

for wore no woman's face.
The experience of to -day, from its
very unprecedenteclness, could not
well avoid leaving a mark. To his
astonishment, he discovered that it
had not even been wholly unpleasant,,
His loneliness was so complete that
the idea of friendly sympathy could
not fail to have a certainwaeming ef-
fect upon his home -sick heart. And

Five Recipes for Fritters
Who doesn't like fritters? Never
a boy or girl who doesn't welcome the
supper or breakfast dish of fritters,
and when properly made they are a
most wholesome dish, especially for
cool days. If there is oatmeal left
from the breakfast try this for supper.

vain of men, the idea of having been

sim-
ultaneoosly he began to wonder
whether he should see her again.
Of course he did—only two days lat-
er. The meeting took place at the
hour of the evening return which Cor-

cut in half -inch -thick slices and then
into long strips. Dip it in egg, then
in bread crumbs and fry in butter.
Dram, sprinkle with powdered sugar,
and serve hot.
Here is a recipe for a good fritter
batter: One egg, one-half cupful of
milk, one cupful of flour, one tea-
spoonful of sugar, one saltspoonful oL
salt, one tablespoonful of melted but-
ter, one tablespoonful of baking pow-
der. Separate the yolk and beat the
white of the egg stiffly. Sift the
flour, baking powder, salt and sugar
together; add to the liquid mixture,
and finally fold in the beaten white of
the egg.
Cooked vegetables like parsnip,
salsify—oyster plant -Lor carrots can
be served in fritter batter for a
change.
Meat Fritters.—Cold veal is best
for this dish, although any other ten-
der meat can be used. Cut the meat
into half -inch -thick slices and portions
a little smaller than the size of the
fritter desired. Season with salt and
pepper. Drop two tablespoonfuls of
fritter batter into the hot melted lard,
on this place one slice of meat, and
drop two tablespoonfuls of batter on
top of the meat. As soon as the
fritter is browned, drain and serve
hot.
Vegetable Fritters.—Two cupfuls
mashed parsnips, two eggs, salt, pep-
- per, melted butter. Beat the eggs
well and add to the parsnips. Add
the seasoning, and if the parsnips are
especially juicy it is best to add a lit-
tle flour to make the mixture into a
stiff enough batter. Fry in deep fat
on a buttered griddle.
Fruit Fritters.—Large fruits like
apple, orange, peach, banana or pine-
apple can be cut in thick slices, then
dipped in fritter batter and served
hot, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Smaller fruits however, like the vari-
ous berries, cherries, apricots, etc.,
must first be stoned and then dropped
into the entire dish of batter fritter.
A spoonful of batter is then dropped
into the boiling fat at a time.
Before you drop a fritter into the
hot fat it is best to test the fat to see
whether it is properly hot The fat
should be heated slowly until a few
minutes before it is needed, then plac-
ed
over the hotter flame, where it will
become extremely hot. To test it,
drop a cube of bread into the fat. If
it sinks to the bottom, then rises and1
becomes golden brown in a minute,
your fat is ready for fritter making,

When your head is dull and heavy, yonx tongue furred, and you feel
done -up and good for nothing, without knowing what is really the
matter with you, probably all that is needed to restore you to health and
vigour is a few doses of a reliable
digestive tonic and stomachic rem-
edy such as Mother Seigel's Syrup.
Take it after each meal for a few
days and note how beneficial is its action upon the stomachaiver and bowels—
how it restores tone and healthy activity to these important organs, and by

80,000 PERISHED
IN HOLY LAND
CHILDREN SOLD IN STREETS
FOR A SHILLING.
Shocking Crimes of Turks and Rave
ages of Famine in Syria
and Palestine.
That a terrible famine is ravaging
the Holy Land is repeated in a letter
of appeal in the London Times signed
by the Bishop of London, Rennie Mac -
Innes, Bishop of Jerusalem; John
Brown, Moderator of the Church of
Scotland; George Smith, Moderator of
the .United Free Church of Scotland;
Henry MacMahon, chairman of the
London Committee, and J, Deacon,
honorary treasurer. It is an appeal
particularly affecting Christian
churches everywhere, therefore also
Canadian. The letter says: "The
latest news clearly reveals ex-
tremely serious conditions in Syria
and Palestine. Many thousands of the
inhabitants are starving. In one dis-
trict alone a careful estimate made
on the spot puts the deaths from this
cause at fully 80,000. Many villages
have lost half their population, Chol-
era, typhus and other diseases are
rampant, Children are being sold in
the streets for a shilling.
Testimony of Eye -witnesses.
Two eye -witnesses say: We passed
women and children lying on the road-
side with closed eyes and ghastly pale
faces. It is a common thing to find
people searching the garbage heaps
for orange peel, old bones and other
refuse, eating them greedily when
found. At three different places we
visited were camps of women and
children where any man could select
a child or woman and take them
with him, dragging them along by
the hair.' This widespread suffering
is caused by a deliberate policy of
starvation. 'It is clear,' said Lord
Grey in October, 'that there has gone
on in Turkey a scale of unprecedented
horrors unequalled in an attempt to
exterminate the Christian population.'
Massacre by the sword is terrible
enough, but massacre by famine is
tenfold worse. At the moment we
seem powerless to meet the appalling
isituation. If, however, the success of
the Allied operations permits, it may
I be possible to bring relief to the suf-
ferers even before the close of the
war. In any case the needed supplies
of food, medicine and clothing should
be poured in as soon as ever this be-
comes possible. They can be bought
and stored in Egypt, whence they can
be conveyed in a few hours to ports
of entry to the Holy Land when the
opportunity offers.
Help the Sufferers of Palestine.
A small beginning has been made, but
at least 150,000 should be forthcoming
if anything like an adequate supply is
to be ready. No country on the face
of the earth should make a stronger
appeal to the people of all classes in
the British Isles than that in which
our Lord lived, and to which we owe
the Scriptures, and our whole relig-
ious inspiration. Now is the time to
help. It will little avail to collect the
sum after the Holy Land is open to
us. The distribution fund will be in
the hands of those who know the peo-
ple and lived amongst them. Though
the policy of starvation is mainly di-
rected against the Christian popula-
tion, help will be given to all in need
irrespective of creed or race. Pains
will be taken not to pauperize but to
re-establish the people in homes and
on farms. We appeal with confidence
Yat
d,
help in trying timeetthe needs of
the innocent sufferers of Palestine. An
office has been opened in Church
House, Dean's Yd, Westminster,
London, by the Hon. Secretary of the
Syria -Palestine Relief Fund."
POTATO NOT INDISPENSABLE.
At Present Prices is a Vegetable For
the Well -to -Do.
The potato possesses for us no par-
ticular virtues. To the Alaskan miner
the potato serves as a protection
against scurvy. To us it is merely
one of the starchy foodstuffs. To re-
gard the potato as a necessity in the
diet is a fiction. When cheap it is an
agreeable and convenient form of in-
gestion of starch. When expensive it
should be replaced by a cheaper
etaroh such as rice, which is one-third
the price of potatoes. Sound potatoes
contain tt little less than one and a
half per cent. of protein and twenty
per cent, of starch. A pound of pota-
toes, after subtraction of the waste,
Contains about 330 calories.
At six cents per pound, potato
costs, per calorie, 'as much as milk at
ten cents a quart, butter at sixty cents
a Pound, cheese at thirty centa
pound and medium -fat beef at twenty
cents a pound, It is nutritional folly
to consume potato or any other veget-
able of equal value when rnillt, cheese,
butter and the cheaper cuts of meat
can be teamed for the same price per
eale.

potato is easy to prepare. Exactly
therein lies the art that 15 lacking in
