For that afternoon on the Necro- polis had not remained solitary of its kind, and during his last weeks in Glasgow the meetings, both in tram- cars and in the street, had multiplied extraordinary. So had the mutual confidences. More and more deeply hadJohn unfolded to the eagerly list- ening girl his plans and his hopes; thrilled by the belief that his zeal was shared. Even the visit to Grant Street had been paid; for Mrs. Watson, her first indignation cooled, had re- flected that to get Ella off her hands would not be half a bad job, seeing that it might enable her to take a lod- ger who would pay, not only for board, but also for lodging, and since a poor relation has a terrible way of turning into a stone around one's neck. Dating from that visit to Grant Street the acquaintance entered un- mistakably on another stage. With an alarm that was yet not wholly un- pleasant, John began to realise that he was regarded as having "inten- tions." It was certain, at any rate, that she hacl. Even John was vague- ly conscious of them; and could notl find in himself either the energy or even the desire to resist.

London wldhlpe$ sordid things of life from him, prove a !help, rather than a hindrance? Yes a helpmate must be good— else wh should so many pastors be husbands? Thus John argued, struggling with some obscure doubt, and overlooking the only decisive argument in the case, which was that he was young and but a man, and that she was likewise young and also very tolerably fair. He would be doing nothing wrong, he was sure of that, even when be- ginning to be aware of the personal element in the prospect. It could not be called a defection, at the most a compromise, since legitimate love was not forbidden to the spiritual laborer. And yet—and yet, it had not been in the plan before; and, do what he would, he could not get it quite to fit in. Maple -Sugar in the Daily Meals, If you can buy maple -syrup at it reasonable price, do so, and bottle it yourself. To make a success of this the syrup must be bottled while hot, in air -tight bottles-Apreferably in pint. size, for it very soon loses its flavor when left open. Following are some particularly good recipes for the use of maple -sugar and syrup: Lunch Cakes.—One cupful maple - sugar, one-fourth cupful butter, three- fourths cupful sweet milk, one egg, two cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful baking -powder, nuts. Cream butter and sugar, add beaten egg, milk and flour sifted with baking -Powder. Bake in well -buttered muffin -tins, in a quick oven. If nuts are used, add lastly. Maple Frosting.—One cupful maple - syrup, one-half cupful of white sugar, white of one egg. Boil syrup and sugar until mixture will grain; stir until nearly cold, then pour on stiffly beaten white of egg. Maple Filling.—Two and one-fourth cupfuls maple -sugar, one-fourth cup- ful butter, one-half cupful sweet milk, one teaspoonful vanilla. Cook all in- gredients together, as for frosting. Beat as it cools, and flavor. Have cake cold when filling is put on. Cream Maple -Sugar Frosting.— Two cupfuls soft maple -sugar, one cupful cream. Break sugar into small pieces, put in saucepan with cream, and stir occasionally until sugar is dis- solved. Boil without stirring until a soft ball can be formed with the fin- gers when mixture is tried in cold wa- ter. Beat until of the right con- sistency to spread. Moonshine Cake.—One and one- fourth cupfuls maple -sugar, one-half cupful butter, one-half cupful sweet milk, six tablespoonfuls cornstarch, one and one-half cupfuls,flour•, one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls vanilla. Whites of four eggs• Cream butter and sugar; sift cornstarch and flour several times, and add alternately with I milk to first mixture; add vanilla, and fold in whites of eggs, beaten dry. yBake in quick oven in large tins. 1 Snow Pudding. 1 Two cups water, one-half cup sugar, five tablespoonfuls cornstarch, one - I quarter teaspoonful salt. Mix the i ingredients in order given, then put on fire and bring to a boil. Cook for I three minutes. Remove from the fire land add the stiffly beaten whites of i egg and one teaspoonful of vanilla. Pour into cups to mold. Serve with Icustard sauce. Rinse the cups with cold water before pouring in the cus- tard. .--- Custard Sauce. One cupful milk, one-half cup water, four tablespoonfuls sugar, two table- spoonfuls cornstarch. Mix in order given, place in saucepan on stove and bring to a boil. Cook for three min- utes. Take from fire and add, yolk of one egg, one teaspoonful vanilla. Cool and pour over the pudding, Skim -Milk Versus Beef. Skim -mills is a very economical food material in the opinian of experts, and might well be more largely used as human food—this in spite of the fact that it is nine -tenths water. Whale milk is an indispensable food i for the young, and even in the diet of the adult it is comparatively I economical. The only nourishing me-; terial taken from it in skimming is the butter fat. There is Left, therefore,! in the skim -milk, not only all of the sugar, which amounts to about four t and a half parts in every hundred, and n 5 5 e g: * Another thing which, on this his last return to the quarry, helped to disturb John's mind was a certain heap of stones which he found piled up by the side of a narrow by -road winding into one of the valleys. Was that for the new school -house? he in- quired. No, he was told; it was for the Roman Catholic chapel, for which the sum had been raised by subscrip- tion. John's surprise verged on indigna- tion. Was it worth while building a chapel for the hundred and odd Ro- man Catholics extant within a round of three miles? And how about John Knox? The existence even of that hundred seemed to show that his measures had, after all, not been searching enough, There was a cer- tain cottage in the village whose thatch was weighted by bricks dangl- ing from wires, and which was pointed out as the place where, during the persecutions, Mass had been secretly celebrated. John, despite all his mild- ness, could not help thinking that, for Ithe purpose, it might have continued to suffice. A chapel meant a priest, or course, and it was impossible to relish the idea of meeting, even only on the road, a Papist worker—on this ground which he had so long looked at as exclusively his own future field. But after all, this was a free coun- try. CHAPTER IV. -flow perfectly lovely!! Oh, how truly picturesque!"

The last-named substance is important because, be- sides serving as fuel for the body, as fats, sugars and starches do, it also supplies tissue -building material. The proportion of protein in skim -milk, as well as of the mineral constituents, which are also valuable for body- building, is even greater than in whole milk, Skim -milk is to be classed, es whole milk is, with such food materials as eggs, meat, fish, poultry, and cheese (though it is much more delicate than those foods) rather than with such substances as sugar, which serve only as fuel. Two and a half quarts of skim -milk contain almost as much pro- tein and yield about the same amount of energy as a pound of round of beef, 'When skim -milk sells for four cents a quart, or about two cents astound, and round of beef for twenty cents a pound, a dime, or any other sum of money spent for skim -milk will pro- vide nearly twice as much nourish- ment as it will if spent for round steak.

Mix well and pack in a well -greased mold and bake for forty minutes in a moderate oven. Set the mold in a pan of hot water. Serve either hot or cold. If serving hot, a brown or tomato sauce should be used. 4,4164 When you think of SOME ASPECTS OF ale m®4 2n r ?lil.i9 t1'' � t ads le " 9 N LOVE OF NATIVE LAND STRONG WAR IN FRANCE Think of PARKER'S Let us restore to seeming newness your Lace Curtains, Carpets, Blankets and other household and personal effects, The Parker process is thorough; the charge is very moderate, and we pay carriage one way.

Incident in South African War Which is -Characteristic of a Boer Leader. Of the three great figures that emerged on the Boer side in the war of defence that developed after Lady- smith -Botha, De Wet and Delarey— De Wet was much the most impres- sive. T•Iis face was a study in resis- tance, says Mr. Harold Spender in Gen, Botha, the Career and the Man. in His body seemed all muscle. Look- ing on him, one could understand the 3 fear that he inspired in his own men. le But it was his schemes of escape, al- oe most miraculous in their cunning, that d perplexed an empire and puzzled a e planet. On one or two cccasions I have seen. his face light up when he referred to one of his own achievements in eva- sion, add of those achievements one still stands out in my memory. One evening, after a long clay's march,—so he told us,—all his wand- erings seemed to have come to an end. To Clean A Blouse. A very simple way of cleaning white blouses, which has been found effi- cacious, is to line a box with clean white paper, cover the bottom with Futter's earth, spread the blouse care- fully over this and put another layer of the earth over it. Spread anothe sheet of white paper over this and put the cover on the box. Let it remain untouched for five or six days; then shake out the blouse, which will be quite clean. The lights of the British bivouac fires twinkled from every point of the hor- izon. De Wet, as was his wont, went apart from his men and sat alone in dumb despair. Then there came to him softly one of those wonderful scouts who served him so well. The scout had discovered a slight gap in the British lines between two regi- ments that were not quite keeping touch. In a moment De Wet was on his feet. Within an hour 'every horse's foot was muffled with cloth or wool and every wagon wheel was swathed. The Boer camp fires were lighted and were left burning brightly. Then the whole Boer force crept out through the darkness of the night in utter sil- ence, penetrated the gap in the British lines and started on a new course of fugitive warfare. A Logical Inference.

A handy clothes hanger for children can he made of a broom handle. Make a cross of two pieces of wood fourteen inches long, three inches wide and one or one-half inch thick for a standard. Fasten together, bore a hole in the center and insert the handle. Screw half a dozen hooks in the handle, paint or enamel any desired shade and the hanger is finished. Small children will enjoy hanging their dresses on his hanger, thus teaching them to be eat and tidy. was not the consciousness of being a husband in danger of overshadowing the consciousness of those orders so lately received?

English Phrases Being Adopted in War Zone by Native Population. Our Canadian correspondent in France writes the following: "Rightol" -Everywhere one hears this word of general utility in that part of France in which British troops are quartered, The French use it as they use the word "sport" and many other adapta- tions from the English language. Long after the war ends, perhaps centuries - hence, when the great straggle is but a bit of difficult history for school children, the people of northern France may still indicate cheerful ac- quiescence by singing out: "Righto." New words make tb ir...way into a language easily and quickly in time of war because of the need for forms of expression that will be easily under- stood by the sojourner. When they get it they stay. Farming Under Difficulties. The patience with which the peo- pile bear the long -continued hardships and perils of military occupation is beyond praise. To -day from a To- ronto artillery officer I heard this story. Up near Armentieres close by his battery was the tiny farm of a peasant, who was well-to-do in that. he owned two horses. When the bat- tery located near him he was prepar- ing his land for a crop of wheat. When the Germans replied to the Canadian fire most of the shells fell in the prospective wheat field. They were what is known as `light stuff," and the holes they made were filled in without too great difficulty. The work of preparation was almost completed —under daily shell fire, be it remem- bered—when a bursting shell killed both the old man's horses. It was a sore stroke, but the offer to loan a pair of battery horses was thankfully accepted, all the shell holes were fill- ed, seeding was completed, and the Canadians remained long enough to see the plucky old fellow reap a good crop in spite of the Boche, For Native Land. That represents one sort of pa- tience. Another is displayed by tens of thousands of householders, from the owners of the fine old chateaux to the colliers of the mining villages, who have had men of alien race bil- leted in their houses ever since 1914. It is borne uncomplainingly "pour la Petrie." Often, alas, the room of the son of the household would be empty but for "les Anglais." The French- men who have made the last great sacrifice are numbered by hundreds of thousands, and the end is not yet. The suggestion is heard occasionally that there will be many marriages be- tween British soldiers and French girls after the war. Assuredly much . laughter, that is not all masculine, is heard in billets and elsewhere, There are very many men in transport and similar services located all the way from the English Channel to the bat- tlefront. It would be strange if the little archer did not hit some of them. Alliances With British. The resultant crop of marriages— big or little—will be to the advantage of France, because it will bind the people on opposite sides of the Chan- nel still more closely together. One of the great discoveries of the war has been France's finding of her soul. Another has been the discovery that the supposedly soft and degener- ating, if not already degenerated, Englishman is as hardy and tough and resourceful it fighter as his an- cestors, who followed the great Ed- ward or the . m'dauntless Henry to France centi .s ago. A little racial intermixture n 'ght benefit both na- tions, Britain needs France's men- tal alertness and adaptability; France could find a place for English phy- sique and resolution.
