CANNING.
When you can get the vegetables
fresb from the garden early in the
meaning and in prime canning coadie
Hon as regards ripeness; it is fairly
safe to skip the blanching and cold
dipping process, excepting where
shrinkage, previons to filling the jare
is neceseary. There are several argu-
Owlets for this, notably te eonserving
of the mineral matter.' For safety's
selce, sinee Women have varying, defi-
nitions for ",freshness" and "prime-
ness," we have not suggested the elim-
inatton of blanching in the regular
canning reintine," and usually • ad-
vise to try it very sparingly the firat
summer until they are satisfied with
themselves *at they are successful in
• this work. A ,dry hot season would
not peernit the overlooking of • the
blanching, but a moist season guar-
antees rapid growth and no genie
hardeningin the seed vegetablesthus
allowing greater libertY in canning.
HOW TO PLANT PEPPER.
One warm day in spring Silas Sut-
ton and his wife HarrietWere.plant-
ing their garden, He was covering
the seeds with a. hoe -as .she dropped
them into the furrows. "And how
ready to- plant the red peppers,
slag said.
'Well, hove're ye goin' to plant it?"
asked Silas, "Ye know it won't come
tip if 'yerre not as mad as hops when
ye plant it." ,'
that's so;eI was.jest, athinichd
'about it. ; 'What caraI do to make thy-
self mad?"-•
. Silas stood in thought for a' Mo -
mein; 'then, stidding to his
etite'e aide, he stuck; her with a pin.
The ,next instant he across
the gagden, and }tartlet Was in hot
pursuit with a hoe. He got over the
fence jiist in time to avoid the blow
that she aimed at hien.' •
Then as they both stood panting he
said, "Now I think you're head enough
tomlant the pepper; ..so if ye'll notelig
inc with -that hoe,' dome' bacla in
and go on with the work of gard-
ening.'

CHAPTER, IV,--(Cont'd.) beaded—his hat had already imen jolt
When Tu Hee mimeto, for feee ed off—to the excited To Hee. '
eeconds the pat hour was bletthd
f 'orn her memory end -she gazed about
bewildered. The couch ehe was on
wasi-A her own' and the lama was
strange but very pretty. Iiadwae all
vele bitio and gold, like a foreign wo-
man'boudoir. Foreign—ali!---ehe
covered her face with her hands as
inemoey mailed over her. Then two
soft hands weee con her own and a
familiar voice spoke to her, "Dean lite
the girl—little To Iee, don't be
frightened. It'e all right, dear,"
Slowly Te Hee withdrew her hands.
ReWIlderment vette still on her lace ae
she murmured, 'It'i the American, Wang Toy instructed the chauffeur

Weng T" stiffened. He bowed
couetcouely to IVIes. Claymore. Thole
hie eYee eCanned keenly the face of the
foreigner fleeted beside his ward, Tu
Hee fidgetted, ae ehe fancied his eyee
lingered on the court niaetee, but she
beained again as she saw hie hand
extended. She knew trust always went
with the mandarM's hand -clasp,
terrible mistake dear, The Govern- head with C u Sing.
Tu I -lee, was asked all Manner of
questioae by bier ruffled companion,
which. she answered evasively, • and
when he grew insistent pleaded she
was too tired to talk, that Uncle Weng
would explein, . -
For the firet time in her life Tu Hee
experienced the feeling of envy. She
envied Lun. The old marse was talk-
ing and gesticulating volubly. The
girl's heart flutered. EVen she, stolid
Lun, had capitulated to the foreigner.
Tea was served in the library, a
concession extended to only Weng
Toy' g intimate friends. Tu Hee hadn't
hoped for this, but a glance at her
uncles' face lead her that Mrs. Clay-
moee's leiet had won' the day and ban-
ished the last vestige of a. cloud. Not
only this, but the mutual goodwill be-
tween, her uncle mid the' officer was
unmistakable. • ,
Chu Sing was the only one of the
party who was out of his element. He
sat aptit, moody and silent, nibling
cakes and drinking te,a, , and all the
time furtively watching the fInglish-
man. • The ,persistent question which
darkened his -face was whether the
foreigner's wound -meant an act of
chivalry to Tu Hee. '
I. -tient officials toek you for some on°
else."
"Some one elee?" questioPed Tii
Hee, perplexity in her voice. "Who?
Do they not know I belong to the
house of the great Weng Toy?"
".They do now, dear. It will all be
explained later. Just rest for a few
nanutea."
"No, no," exclaimed To Hee, slip-
ping from the couch, 'I rest t home."
Her voice was almost childish in its
appeal as she turned to Mrs. Clay-
more. "Please --you my friend—take
me horne."
'Won't you please have some. tea
first?" '
Tu liee.looked into a pair of brown
eyes so big and friendly that her lips
parted a little and she bowed grace-
fully, as she obediently, took the bev-
erage. '
No word was spoken as she partook
of ,the refreshment, and she stole sur-
reptitious glances at -the .girl opposite
her. When she bad sipped the last
of the tea, the foreign girl leaned'for-
ward and addressed her in a low,
eager tone. "My name is Grace Ash-
ton. • If you can ,ever forgive as for
thiS painful affair, please let me hear
from you some time."
Tu Hee smiled and bowed again,
and still a little bewildered allowed
herself to be led by Mrs. Clap -here to
a waiting cer, where she was -ern-
braced by the frantic Len, who laugh-
ed and cried in turns at seeing her
child safe. - '-
Beside the car' stood the British offi-
cer, a long thin plaster dividing the
,dark brown of his cheek with its
startling' whiteness.
At sight Of bim Tu Hee shrank
back, clinging to Mrs, Claymore.
David came forward. A shadow was
on his face and his voice was tense
with -feeling as he tried to right him-
self in the eyes of the Chinese girl.
"I know my conduct appears to you
inexcusable, Miss Wehg Toy, but when
you are strong enough to listen to ae
explanation I feel sure I can clear
myself, Won't you please trust me
and give me the honor and pleasure
of driving you to your home?"
Something in the voice stirred -4'u
Hee strangely. Instinctively she
ed this foreigner, and wondered at the
moment how she could have ever fear-
ed him. His gaze was so. clear and
direct. She boiled her assent, and,
David handed her into the front eeat
of the car. •, -
Mts. Claymore smiled, relieved that
a tense situation was over,- and took
her place in the back, beckoning Lun
in beside her. ' Len Was not so easily
dealt with, however. She' had had
enough of foreigners and foreign auto-
mobiles. -Nor Was she willing that
the monster should go without her
until it had disgorged her child.
Ta Hee was half inclined to obey
her nuree, but a glance at the profile
beside her with its long white dis-
figurement decided her. Peremptorily
she turned, "Please, Lun, seat your-
self quietly. This foreign gentlemen
wiehes to take us quickly to my uncle."
Lun turned an aghast face on her
mistress, twisted her hands nervduely,,
and seated herself beside Mrs. 0.11y -
But Tu Hee hhd rio thoUght for lam.
A gratified,pleased smile which she
had glimpsed had set her heart beat-
ing rapidly, -.and she felt her myster-
ious adventure had opened up a glor-
ious new avenue of life.
David drove' rapidly. Fain would
he have allowed the car to crawl, but
commo11 sehee` ruled; telltng him he
must clear up without delay every
vestige of the blunder caused by the
burigling of the officials.
The‘streets were thronged with peo-
ple; but for once Tu Hee,took no in-
terest in her surroundings. She even
felt no shame at riding openly and
beside. a foreigner. Indeed, the signifi-
cance of heraction did not dieWn on
her until hours afterwards and she
had had tine to think in the seclusion
of her own apartment.
The car stopped at the American
house., on the hill, but Mrs. Claymore
insisted on , accoinpanyirig To Hee
right to her home.. She ,laughed at
what eh called. male denseness. "I
think, Halid,. thepresent situation
needs a evontarde- fact, and 1 anCeure,
Miss Wang Toy vvill. agree With me."
Tu: •Heg- had an idea her . uncle's
wrath Might'be.considerably Mitigated
by tlitggtacious American woman and,
conSidering her former feelings, it Was
veeurprise how very much she wanted
the wholo naaty affair, shoved hack
into the past. She Could not exaetly
define her reason , -She dared not
acknowledge that the Silent, Courteous
Man beside her -figured in it largely.
As they.necered the great eatrance
,gates °flier hoine, a touring' car turn-
ed mit and dipproaehed them. - Tu Hee
leaned'forward 'eagerly. The veneer of
over -Civilization dropped from her,
Mid clasping David's arin elle said
tremulously, "Mea uncle'sir. He ape
ptoaches the grey car,"
David drew upehis gaze fixed with
inteedst. on the ocenpante of the on -
coining machine, Wea Toys face was

The ,abeafied driver put the britkee
on a6 sliddenlY that only elieer luck
aveked a catastrophe. •The' huge car

as it sew fit to keen its baltinee, no etto

have been. '
Wong Toy's dignity deeetted lilip

dome but Vaulted it like te echoer boY,
Welig Toy urged his guests to re-
niain for dinner. David would willing-
ly have s0!, aside his business engage-
ment, but a warning glance from Mrs.
Claymore bade him leave with her,
and he reluctantly beyed. However,
he eagerly accepted Wang Toy's in-
vitation for the next week, and as he
bent over Tu Hee's band at parting he
felt like imploring her to not forget
him entirely in the long interval of
seven days. But, commonsense tri-
umphed again, and merely murmuring
a few commonplace civilities, he ac-
companied Mrs,. Claymore from the
room.
When the door had closed on the
foreigners, Weng Toy took Tit Hee,s
face between his hands. "My little
girl loOlts not -unhappy or downcast
for all her harrowing experience. She
has truly imbibed the brave spieit of
the house of Weng Toy." ,
"It was terrible at first, uncle." Tu
Hee shuddered,"but," and her eyes
beathed up at him, "the foreigners dis-
pelled all that. They were very kind
10'111"re!'
That Young:man. is here on an -im-
portant mission for the greet war. He
is already a hero, My child. The soar,
he carries on his foot is the symbol
bf his slier° in the ultimate triumph
of eight over the powers of darkness
in Europe." -,
Tu Hee's eyes 'shone like twin sap-
phires as her hero worship was being
fed. .
Weng Toy, thiaware of the fire that
had, been kindled, continued. "Mrs.
Claymore wished me to explain to you
more fully the unfortunate blunder
made by the two Government officials,
as she did not wish to harass you with
details, when you weee among strang-
ers and still suffering from the effects
of the shock. The two men who kid-
napped you mistook you for a German
spy who is in Pekin trying to under-
mine China. Stupid of them, but as
my little girl has come -to no harm the
best thing to do is to overlook and for-
get the whole affair, e'specially as they
thought thy -were working for China'
and the Gbd of "Juetice: Now, child,
run up tceyottr ToOm and rest for ,an
hour before dinner. I must go and
explain to Chu Sing." ^
Tu Hee'sfeet barelY toughed the
stairs ap she flew th her room and her
heart sang nntil she was dizzy, "He is
a hero. He won his scar in the great
war of justice."
