Mrs. Moss, as she tested the heat of
her. iron by a method probably as
ancient as the use of the implement
itself, "But wet does 'e' do for a
livin'? That's wet puzzles me."
"Well, there are many ways of
earning a living that. everyone does
not know about," suggested Celia
Carr, her pretty,_eaeeer' face and. low -
toned voice eloquent in defence of the
subject; 'of 'Miss Moss's speculation's.
"That's •as it may be. ' On'y it don't

an ahnost sickening emotion. "To-

Eleven Things to Remember in Cake
Making.
Coarse. granulated sugar gives . a
coarse-grained cake.
Powdered sugar gives a close -grain-
ed, dry cake,
Fine granulated sugar gives best
resulbe.
Cake flour gives a light, tender,
delicate cake.
Bread flour ;gives a thiek, heavy
cake.
Too hot an oven forms crust before
cake is light, with later cracking of
top.
Layer cake and cup cakes need tar
hotter oven than loaf cakes.
Cake made from egg yolks needs a
slower oven than with white cakes.
Cakes made with eggs to lighten
need a slower oven than calces with
baking powder or soda.
To prevent bulging in middle, have
batter thicker at edges of tin than in
the centre when cake enters oven.
Never beat cake after egg whites
are folded in.

them, Both halted instinctively, and
the dim hall -light fell on the white,
strained face -of Mrs. Moss's mystery
lodger.
"I—er—you startled me," he mur-
mured, but his voice sounded pleased
for all the agitation his manner re-
vealed.
"Mr. Brendon forgive me--but—
but you look troubled."
"Troubled!" He echoed the word
with a curious inflection in his voice.
Then he sighed, and a whimsical look
passed like a shadow across his face.
"Yes; not only my own troubles but
other people's as well."
Again that strange note In his
voice. Celia glanced at him swiftly.
Was he laughing at her? But his ex-
pression was quite serious.
"Gan—can I help you at all?"
Heglanced at her pretty face, so
sweet and sympathetic.
"You have helped me," he whisper-
ed; ' "Your -words, your smile have
helped me already."
"I am glad." She spoke .simply.
She was e business
young woman, dependiuite a ng gon her own
efforts to gain her living, but at heart
she was a child still.
After a further word or two he re-
lapsed into his odd, abstracted man-
ner that might so easily have been
construed as furtiveness, and with a
murmured good night passed out into
the street.
Why 'should his unnamed anxieties
cause, her such disturbance as well?
The question was in Celia's mind as
she entered her room.
She awoke in the morning with a
nervous headache. She was early
astir, but Brendon was as early. She
heard hint drag something across the
floor. It sounded like packing. Flight!
Her perturbed mind leaped to that
instant conclusion.
In her agitation, she crossed over
to the window, which looked on to the
street, and, pushing it up leaned out
to get a breath of the fresh spring
air.
Then she almost collapsed, and all
her floating suspicions were gathered
together and shaped into certainty.
Be1ov,; on the doorstep Mrs. Moss
stood in animated conversation vvith
two men in uniform—policemen.. They
seemed insistent; she reluctant. Then
all three figures entered the' house,
and Celia could hear their heavy
tread below.
Quickly she ran up the few stairs
and knocked et Brendon's door.
"They are herel" she gasped, as
ha opened the door. "They have traced
you already. They are downstairs
talking to Mrs. Moss now.
Tho Deadly Fly.
All of the flies that drive us to
distraction in Summer ate descend-
ants of the few flies that managed to.
keep alive in cracks er behind the
wall paper during the winter. They
lay their eggs in horse manure, a dead
animal, decaying garbage or an out-
side toilet. They lay about 120 eggs.
In from twelve hours to two or three
days, these eggs hatch into maggots.
After these have fed for several days
on whatever form of filth they are
crawling over, they change into the
pupa stage and remain inactive for
about three days. Then the fly emerges
full size, and crawls over its home in
the filth for a short time, getting its
hairy body well covered with• germs
before it stents out on its disease -
spreading career. There is a new gen-
eration of flies every eight or ten days
and each fly has 120 children. It is
estimated that one pair of flies begin-
ning to breed in April, would have
enough descendants by September, if
none of them were destroyed, to cover
the earth very many feet deep.
In a town or village, a careless
neighbor lets flies breed,• but in the
country, with few exceptions, each
farm breeds its own. So each farm
can to some extent control the fly pest.
During the lifetime of a fly, it seldom
travels more than a fourth to a half
mild from its breeding place, and
often, not more than two or three
hundred yards. Few farms are placed
closer together than that, and if a
farmer is troubled with flies, he can't
lay the blame on his neighbor. Ninety
per cent. of the flies breed in horse
manure; the rest in' decaying garbage,
dead animals and out houses.
Any individual who wishes to have
a flyless farm can have it df he is
willing to carry out these five re-
quirements: the killing of early flies,
spreading manure weekly, handling
garbage carefully, emptying waste
water some distance from the house,
and providing fly -proof toilet.
Suddenly enlightenment came. Her
face grew rosy, her whole body seem-
ed to tingle with that, blush of dismay.
"Oli-I. never thought -does love

he have guessed? Oh, how shall I
ever face him again!"
She was very much on the alert
to avoid meeting him during the fol-
lowing days. As a matter of fact,
when next she saw hits it was not in

Plant doctors and plant creators at
Cambridge University aro engaged in
a series of progressive miracles. Acres
of land on the outskirts of Cambridge
in England are growing literally hun-
dreds of brand new varieties of
wheats, barleys, oats and Potatoes;
andmany of these illustrate strange-
ly newly discovered secrets of her-
edity.
Some of the varieties are bred
chiefly for yield. There is a new
Wheat, known as "Yeoman," which
has yielded 12 quarters to the acre.
That is three times an ordinary crop
—an event of real world importance.
But perhaps the most startling dis-
coveries of the new science are in
producing plants that are proof
against specific diseases. The Cam-
bridge botanists or doctors have now
reached such a pitch that, as one of
them said, they can make almost
sure of breeding plants that are ab-
solutely resistant to certain dis-
eases. At present they taeo that

special investigator is being turned
on to each of the more common farm
products—wheat, oats, barley, pota-
toes and roots,
The results are to be shown in the
summer to a distinguished assembly
of the medical profession. The infer-
ence is that this strange secret of
heredity known as the Mendelian law,
by which the Cambridge botanists are
helped to their most striking success-
es, may be applied to men and ether
animals as well as plants!

M. Flatnmarfon, the French astrone

80, $0, 81' days respectively, Thus
each season would have thirteen
weeks. That accounts for 364 days
and leaves to be disposed of one day
in each of -three years and two i11 the

The simplest plan would bo to make

the same thing—and so to add them

The ,people who are talking of the

booking office for a time. But for
sheer joy of adventure and turmoil of
experience the African route beats to

caused by the furious heat.
Sanitary Floors.
The physician tolls us that dust and
dirt are prolific sources of disease.
Cracks in floors, while being unsight-
ly in appearance, harbor an unbeliev-
able quantity of dirt. A new 'floor,
if properly laid, is free frons this dis-
agreeable feature, but in the course
of time, these cracks will begin to
appear, due to the shrinkage of the
wood. If all floor cracks are filled
with "crack filler" the, accumulation
el dust and dirt will not be 111' evi-
dence. Thus you may be assured of
a sanitary floor surface and sickness
may be avoided.
It is a simple matter to remedy;
just clean out the dust and dirt from
the cracks with some sharp pointed
instrument' and then thoroughly clean
out with a scrubbing Welsh, eoap and
water. When dry, the crack filler may
be applied. It is made in stiff paste
form and should. be applied with .a
putty knife in much the salve manner
as putty. To make the job complete
the floor should then be waxed, ram-
'shed or painted, depending, of cauree,

culine poet in curl papers is certain y
reduced to a figure of tun! But it is
related that Scope Davies, a friend of
Lord Byron's, once entering the poet's
chamber unexpectedly, Sound him re-
posing comfortably in bed with his
hair done up in curl papers.
"Ha, ha, Byron!" cried Davies, teas-
ingly. "I have at last caught you act-
ing the part of the Sleeping Beauty!"
"No, Scrape," was the sheepish re-
ply, "the part of a dashed fool, you
should have said."
"Anything you please," conceded his
friend, cheerfully. "But You have suc-
ceeded admirably lu deceiving your
friends; it was our conviction that
your hair curled naturally."
"Yes, naturally every night," replied
the poet, "but don't, my dear. Scrope,
let the cat out of the bag, for I ant as
vain of my curls as a girl of sliteen,"

head, that of Artemus Ward, the hu-
morist, one of the very first Americans
to captivate London, both socially and
artistically, there was a real and rea-
sonable excuse for resort to curling
irons. He was amazingly long and
lank in build, and lean of countenance,
with a boldly hawklike nose—an oddi-
ty of appearance that, with his grave,
gentle, drawling utterance, greatly
heightened the effect of his• comic
speeches. Still there are limits; and
after a bad attack of mountain fever
his straight yellow hair became so
thin and stringy about his pale and
painfully cadaverous face hat lie de-
cided that something must be done
about it, His repent biographer, Mr,
Don C. Seitz, tells how a friend met

"Got what?"
