"But, my dear boy—" pleaded the cloctox again. • "Gleasoe, please,, I'd rather not talk about it" interrupted Blake Denby decidedia. And there, the platter rested.

Many people do not know that maga- zine covers can be made into useful household furnishings, such es cut, tains or pertieres,. with but little trouble and expense, says the Thrift Magazine.

"There's Gleason ---she knows him" Burke gave hie father a glance from scornful eyes. "My best friend! She'd be apt to go to him, wouldn't she, if she ware running away frone me? Besides, we've had three or four letter's from hint since we've been gone. Don't you suppose he'd tell us of it, if she'd gone to him?" "Yes, ves, of course," frowned John Denby, Laieg his lips. "Thinkett it— that child alone in Boston, and—no friends! Of course she had money— that is, I suppose she cashed it—that eheck?" John Denby turned' with a start. • r - "Oh, yes. 1 4reked Brett about that. She got the moneythergelf, at the 'bank here,. not long after we went. She took itall with her." "Took it all—ten thou,sand.dollars!" . "Yee. The detective, of course, As still working on the case. He got to Boston, but there he's up against a blank ev,all. He's run: a fine-tooth comb through all sorts of public and private institutions in Boston and vieinity witheat avail." "Poor chifile poor child!" . groaned John Denby. "Where can—" But his son interrupted sternly. "Iadon't know where she is, of course. But don't be too sure it is 'poor child' with her, dad. She's doing this thing because she wants to do it. Don't forget that. Didn't she pur- posely mislead us by that note she left on my chiffonier? She didn't say she had gone to Wenton, but she let me think she had. 'Address me at Wenton, if you care to write,' she said. And don't forget that she also said: hope you'll 'enjoy your play - day as much as I shall mine.' Don't you worry about Helen. She's taken my child and your telt -thousand dol - ars, and she's off aomewhere,, having good tine;—and Helen could have is good time—on ten thousand dollars! Incidentally 'she's also punishing us. She, means to give us a good scare. She's waiting till we get home, and till the money's gone. Then she'll let .herself be found.' "Oh, come, come, Burke, aren't you lust a little hit—harsh?" remonstrat- id John Denby. "I don't think so. She deserves— tomething for taking that Oita away like this. Honestly, as met...temper is now, if it wasa't for the baby, I should feel almoot like saying that I hoped she wouldn't ever eome back. I don't want to see her. But, et course, with the aaby, that's another matter." dI should say so!" exclaimed John Denbi emphatically. • "Yes; but, see here, dad! Helen knew ahme she was going. She's ;gone to friends. Wouldn't she have 'left some trace in that -station if she'd been trighteried and uncertain where to go? Brett says the detective found one cabby who remembered taking !just mach a young woman and child -from an evening train et about that time. He didn't recollect where- he took her, and he couldn't say as to whether she had been crying or not; but he's positive she directed him where to go without a moment's hesi- tation. If that was Helen, she knew ,where ehe was going all right." John Denby frowned and did not 'answer. Hit eyes were troubled. • "But perhaps here—at the flat—" .he began, after a time. e , "The detective tried that, He went , as a student, or something, and man- -aged to hire a room of Mrs. Cobb.

Hence its effeetiveeess as a cure for "chills and fever." Known to Ancient Indians. The bark in question Is that of a May tree native to the slopes of the Andes in Peru and Bolivia, Indians of that region in pre•Columbiaa daye had discovered its peceliar property for the cure of malaria and were ac- customed to make medicine from it by steeping it in water. This facet was brought by chance to the attention of is clever woman, the Countess of Cinchon, who visited Peru In 1640. She carried back with her to Burette some of the bark, and the tee° that bears it owes its botanical name to ther. Even within recent years "Peruvian bark," derived from Me tree—en aqueous solutiou made from it, that is to say—has been a standard remedy for malaria. Its etficiency being demonstrated, It naturally followed that a great de. mand for tho bark arose; arid for centuries past supplies of it have been obtained by searching the forests of the above-mentioued region for the treee, cutting them down and strip. pleg them. As a result, tbere is to- day in that part of the world hardly a fullemein cinchona tree left stand- ing. Mankind would thus have been de- prived long ago of a priceless benefit had it not been for intelligent efforts to introduce the tree into cultivation elsewhere. This aim, however, was not succesefully acctomplshed until about the middle of the last century, when aebotanist nettled Hasskarl, em- ployed by the Dutch Government, pro. cured seeds that were planted in Java. Java Produces Chief Supply. The cinchona is cultivated at the present time o51 a considerable :male in India and Ceylon, but 90 per cent, of the world's emptily of bark is ex- ported from Java.

The apple taste is lost or simply adcis a flavor very unlike ite own, bit very pleesant. Eveu enrots can be made into an appetizing, healthful jelly by adding as many apples to them. Grate the carrots or put them through the food chopper. To the pulp obtained add the apples, cook, deaM and proceed in the 'usual way. A ean of pineapple added to pre- served pears will make the whole taste like preserved pineapple. Grapes and apples make a good combination for marmalade. Boil the grapes after pulping them—skins and pulp -'separ- ately; run pulp through collander; strain the skins. Pour together, and to each quart of the mixture add the same amount of sour apples, the juice and pulp of tour lemons, one- ounce of stick cinnamon, broken•in bits and tied up in cloth, and two and one-third pounds of sugar..
