Early for him, on the following morning he was aroused by a loud knocking at his front door. Now thoroughly sobered,, he,hurriedly dressed,. stumbled down the rickety staircare, and opened the door, to find himself confronted by Miss Ada Lest- er. Her face was flushed, and the angry light Jasper Vermont had call- ed up by his sneers at her vulgarity the previous evening still shone in her dark eyes. "Where is the gal?" she asked aln- ruptly. "The gall" he repeated, staring at her in stolid amazement. "Yes—Jessica!" retorted Miss Lester, her jewels flashing in a chance ray of sunlight which had found its way through the dingy court, "Where is she?" "She is not at home,"- said Mr, Wil- fer. "She and Martha 'ave gone out for the day to Greenwich. If you'd wrote a-sayin' yen was goin' to call I'd have made 'em stay till you came." ' Miss Lester looked at him keenly. "If you don't believe me," said Wilfer, "go upstairs and look at her room." Ada ran past him up the stairs, and quickly -returned. "It's locked," she said. "Of course; she's quite the lady— keeps the keys 'ersolf," sneered Johnna. "Look 'ere, 'ere's her hat and coat; there's one of 'Cr boots, so she must be comin' back afore long." Miss Letter appeared convinced. She breathed more freely, as if a weight had been taken off her mind. "Here," she said, putting some gold coins in 'his hand, "is something to make up for my troubling you. But I was real anxious to know if every- thing was right with the gal." Wilfer--debauched and demoralised by 'Mink—was disposed to look at the worst side of things; and from this point of vidw thought she meant the reverse of what she said. "Would you be very much cut up," he said slyly, "if she wasn't able to troufile you any more, or answer aw- kward questions, miss?" She turned on him with a fierceness that made him recoil. "If anything happens to that gal," she shouted, "I'll turn the police on you. For; mind my words—I mean them --•I shouldn't have. cared yester- day very much, if I had learnt she was dead, but now 2 want her. Do you hear? :I want cher. and you take care she's alive and ready wheal mime for her." Then, . Without vouchsafing any further information, she flounced away, :leaving .Mr. Wilfer staring blankly after. her, and wishing for, once that he had stayed his hand, in- stead of driving the girl into the mis- eries and dangers of the streets, Little did Wilfer or Mies Lester imagine that Jessica had found safe- ty and refuge in Adrien Leroy's chambers, CHAPTER VI. Love is the universal epidemic, ef- fectual in al climes and conditions; there is no inoculation that will se- cure exemption from its influence; only given a warm human heart, and there is the natural susceptibility. So it is from high to low. The 'lit- tle blind god takes no count of -differ- ence in fortune or rank in Iife, Dv- liasties fall, thrones 'totter to the ground, mown'' tumbles to dust on kingly heads; but love rules and lives. on, immortal, triumphant, uncon- ceoel•able. Jessica had never heard of Romeo and' Juliet, of Faust and Marguerite, or ]ling Cophetua and the beggar maid, All she knew was that she lov- ed, was conscious only that for a kind 'wend from the lips of the man who had beft•handed her, for a glance from those dark eyes, she would have gladly given up all the other glories the world could have put before her. Poor Jessica, how sweet and yet how hitter had been the awakening in that gilded cabinet. Hew sweet to find herself there in reality, and not only in a dream no right there and that she must go! That splendid golden more with all the wonderful undreamt -of things was not for her, She looked down. at her wet, dirt -strained dress, at her worn, ragged slices, at her cold, red 'bands, and shuddered. She had no right there. Should she take advan- tage of his goodness to remain and sully the beauty of his 'place—for to her ii seemed little leas—by her un- of the gang concerning the, sale of the picture: He was counting, the coins on the table, some of them gold for Jes- sica's quick eye's caught the shimmer of ib—and he looked up half fiercely, half contemptuously as the girl en- tered. "Well, where have you been? You're like a cat, or a . policeman— never to be found when you're want- ed. There was a fine lady came to see you this morning—a real swell, my girl." .Ile laughed coarsely. "Bub. of course, you were out of the way. Where had you got to?" "Anywhere, nowhere," replied Jes- sica, who did not fear him when he was saber, though she hated him al- ways. "Ah, that's the 'style! The swell lady ought to have heard you talk like that, She'd say I was bringing you up well. Come here and let's have a look at you." Jessica did not move, but stared at him steadily. "What! You won't come?" he said with a grin. '"Well, there's something for your obstinacy, you little mule!" He flung a half-crown across to her, and Jessica took it up, then looked es him questioningly in the face. "You're thinking I'm mighty gen- erous, eh? So I em, my gill— foolishly generous.' He laughed mockingly. "Well, what do you say if all the lob's for you,eh?" "All for me!" repeated the girl stop- ping short in her task of making the mantelshelf neat; "all for me!" J "Yes, when you get it, little cat! All for you., indeed! Na! it's for me; and I've a good mind to take the half- crown back. A fool and his money's soon parted; but he's more idiotic to part with other people's. I'm going out. I shall want some grub when I get back—'arf a pound of steak, an' a pot of porter, an' don't forget the gin. Mind you remember now, or I'll break every bone in your body." With which forcible admonition the man shuffled gut. After a few hours he returned, not blindly drunk, but spiteful, ill -tem, pored, and stupidly brutal. About the same time on that day Adrian Leroy was making his way io the new car through the crowded thoroughfare of Oxford Street; "Soho? Yus, sir. Crack'ell Court, fust turnin' on the left. I'll show yen, sir," piped the ragged urchin. whose heartfelt interest Leroy had purchased, along with his query, by means of a shilling. Cracknell Court was small, evil - smelling, and teeming with children. Bidding the chauffeur wait at the en- trance to the court, Aririen, to whom dust, noises, and evil smells were things of absolute pain, entered one of the dens and asked for Mr. Wilfer, "There ho is," said another urchin; and Leroy turned to face that indi- vidual, who was leaning against an open door. "Am 1 speaking to Mr. Johann Wilfer?" he asked courteously "You are,' returned Wilfer, taking the begrimed pipe from his mouth, and staring with bloodshot eyes at the handsome, high -bred face before him, "Can you tell me if a young girl named Jessica returned to you safely this morning?" Leroy inquired. (To be continued), MILK INDUSTRY IN GREECE. Principal Supply Secured from Sheep and Goats. worthy presence? No, woman -child as she was,'she shrank from the thought; then caught up her hat and arose, resolute. "He Will think me ungrateful," she murmured with half-closed eyes. "He will think—no matter, 'he will forget me before -half-an-hour. I will go back to Johann and chance the beating. This is no place for one like me." With a little graceful gesture she bent over the mantel and pressed her lips to the spot where Adrian had rested his arm; then with noiseless steps she stole from the room. The sun was breaking through the morning mist,.but she shivered as its warm rays touched her, and with a weary sigh turned towards. Soho. IlOgas all over, the little patch of fairy -light in the dreary darkness of her existence, and as she reminded herself of this fact she shuddered again. Looking back, she remembered but little beyond the days she had passed with Johann and his shrewish wife. This strange adventure had been the first ray of sunshine in her poor ex- istence. No wonder that she was un- happy at parting with it, Suddenly as she gassed into Oxford Street she stopped, struck with an idea that sent her blood flowing into her pale cheek, flushing it into living beauty. Her large eyes grew thoughtful and full of a strange light. "Why should I go back to Johann" she murmured." Can't I follow him —the kind geniteman? Can't I be his servant?" The answer came quick enough from her inner consciousness. No, she must go back. Of what service could she be to such a man as Ad- rien ? There was nothing for it but be return to Cracknell Court. So wear- ily, but still with that grace which Southern blood bestows, even though it runs in` the veins of n gipsy, or such a street waif as Jessica, she walked on 'and reached Johann Wil for's house. Jessica knew that the man was not her father, but she knew little more than that.. She had never asked him or Martha for any information about her parentage—indeed, had scarcely wished for any; it was enough for her that Johann gave her sufficient bread to' keep life within her. That gentleman was, at the moment of her arrival, absent, engaged on business concerning the , sale of the faked picture to Mr. Harker, 'and Martha was stili away; so ,Jessica, pausing at the door of the living - room to ascertain that it was empty, softly ascended the stairs leading to the garret which served as her special apartment. It was as small and as equal -id as all the other rooms in that crowded court; but it was different from them in one respect—it was clean. *miserable chair -bedstead of the chespeet kind, covered with a thread- bare quilt; a chair with the back broken off; a washstand on three legs, and a:triangular piece of silvered glass, the remains of a cheap mirror, composed the furniture. This peculiarly -shaped piece of common glass reflected the girl's beautiful face in all manner of dis- torted forms. The quilt just kept her from perishing with the cold. But yet the mirror. the bed, and the room itself were:precious to her, foe they were her own. Beyond its sacred threshold, Johann or Martha never passed. She had a key to it; anti to enter now she unlocked the door. Alter the luxury of Adrien's rooms the mean quality. of her own apart- ment struck the girl more forcibly than usual, and sinking upon the bed, she covered het face with her hands end gave way to a flood of tears, But the weakness did not last long; and after a remnant' or two, with a sod - ran gesture,, almost -Italian iu, its -in- tensity, the flung back her head and rose from her crouching, position,. "I will not think of the beautiful place. I will not think of him," she told herself passionately. "But, oh! will he be sorry that I ran away, or will he laugh, and ask that proud ser - vent to see that I" haven't stolen any- thing?" She shook her head. mournfully at her own distorted reflection in the cracked mirror;, then. she sighed and wept ,downstairs. Johann had returned, wonderful to , relate, still fairly sober; but this was probably due to the necessity of main- taining at least the appearance of sobriety in his transaction on behalf One of the principal,eources of+ wealth of the Greek people is the I milk industry, which, however, is still conducted in a primitive man- ner. The principal milch animals of - Greece are sheep and goats. Cows are found only in and near the larger cities, on account' of the poor I pasturage offered by the hilly and , rocky country. The capital necessary to supply the rich pastures required by cows the expensive stables, trained hands, etc., is lacking in Greece. According to official statistics, there were in old Greece in 1911. 3,546,642 head of sheep and 8,238,045 head of goats, valued at $28,872,876. To these figures should be added 6,000,000 head of sheep and goats scattered through the rich plains of Macedonia and the hilly districts of Epirus, which became Greek territory after the Balkan wars of 1913. It is roughly estimated that of these 12,000,000 head of cattle, only two-thirds are milk -producing, yield- ing 200,000,000 okes (about 65,898,349 gallons) of milk yearly. This quan- tity, manufactured into unworked cheese, gives about 60,000,000 okes or 169,290,000 pounds of cheese, valued at $11,580,000. After this cheese is worked, the value is increased to at least $15,440,000. It is thought that these figures could easily be doubled if proper care were exercised by shepherds and greater interest shown by agriculturists. Costs More. "I've tried to teach my boy the value of money." - "Cood thing." "Well, I don't know. He used to be. have for ten cents, but now he wants a quarter." o Canning Tomatoes. This is a new method of canning tomatoes: Scald and peel the 'toma- toes, as usual. Have the cans steri- lized; place the raw tomatoes in them whole, pour in boiling water to fill the cans,, running a knife around in the cans, so that all', the crevices are filled, then put on the cover. Place and cans in a. boiler or large vessel, pour in boiling water until it teaches the neck of the can, put the lid on the boiler. wrap it with a blanket or rag and leave until the water is cold, which will be next morning. The cans are then ready to put away, When the cans are opened, you will find the tomatoes whole and firm enough to slice easily. Canned Tomato Soup.—Boil thor- oughly tomatoes and onions, propor- tioned to taste. Strain, season with salt, black and red pepper and celery seed. Boil again and can. This may used in a variety of ways, as a plain soup, as a meat sauce, thick- ened and spiced, with macaroni, ad- ding cheese and thickening, or com- bined with left -over meat or chicken and gravy, rice, barley, vermicelli. etc. Tomato Catsup.—Take the desired 'amount of tomatoes and scald them to free them from the skins. Place them in a kettle with a bit of onion and a bag of Mixed spices. Cayenne should not be added until the mix- ture is run through a sieve to remove all seeds. Add vinegar, black pep- per and enough cayenne to make the catsup sharp. Boil, and when med- 1 ium thick put into bottles. Use new corks and press them far down into the necks of bottles, then dip the tops of the necks into sealing wax. Ex- act proportion cannot be accurrately given, for tastes differ, and the only reliable way is to test the made cat- sup and add any ingredient which has a tendency to make it better. Some use a little sugar in catsup, whereas others prefer it tart. Green Tomato Pickle.—Slice green tomatoes thin. Put plenty of salt on them and let stand overnight. In the morning drain well and add onions which have been sliced thin. Pub vinegar in a large kettle. Add a little sugar, cinnamon and cloves. The spices may be put hi a sack if desired Put tomatoes and onions in vinegar and let come to a boil. Tomato Marmalade. --Pare and slice three quarts of ripe tomatoes and add three pounds of granulated' sugar. Slice four large lemons, put the toma- toes., sugar and sliced lemons into a kettle and cook until quite thick. Thenpat in airtight glass jars. Loaf Cakes. When making cakes with drippings, if a few drops of lemon juice are beat- en up with the drippings the cake will taste as well as if made with but- ter. Lemons should always be heat- ed or placed in boiling water before being squeezed, as in this way much more juice can be obtained from them. Almond Cake, ---Cream one-half cup of butter with two cups of sugar; add four well -beaten eggs, one-half cup of almonds, one-half teaspoon of al- mond extract, one-half cup of milk and two cups of flour sifted with two teaspoons of baking powder. Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes: Delicate Cake.—Cream one-half cup of butter with one cup of sugar; add one-half cup of milk, a teaspoon of vanilla and two cups of flour sifted with two teaspoons of baking powder. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of four eggs and bake for half an hour in a buttered tin. English Tea Cake.—Mix one cup of sugar with the beaten yolks of two eggs; add two tablespoons of melted butter, one-half cup of water, one- half teaspoon of grated nutmeg and one and one-half cups of flour sifted with two teaspoons of baking pow- der. Bake in a moderate oven. Geranium Cake.—Line a square, shallow tin with buttered paper and cover with rose geranium leaves. Cream half a cup of butter with one cup of water and two cups of flour sifted with one teaspoon of baking powder. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of four eggs, turn into the pan, and bake. When the cake is cool the leaves will pull off easily, leaving no trace and just a faint taste of the geranium leaves. Use any preferred icing. Gold Cake.—Cream one cup of but- ter with two cults of sugar, add the beaten yolks of eight egg--, one tea- spoon of lemon extract and four cups of flour, sifted with two teaspoons of making powder. Bake in a moder- ate oven for one hour. Orange Cake.—Cream one-half cup of butter with two cups of sugar, add the well -beaten yolks of six eggs and the white of one, one-half cup milk, the grated rind and juice of two ranges and four cups of flour sifted with one-half teaspoon of baking soda ,Bake in a moderate oven and cover with plain icing flavored with orange juice, Food That Feeds. One of the most important things that every housewife should know about food is its value as nourishment for the body. We must, in fact, have foods that feed. There are several kinds of values that all human bodies need in the food they eat, and with out which they cannot be healthy and well nourished. These are: Material to build the body and re- pair waste. Material to give heat and strength. Material to enrich and cleanse the blood. Material to form bone. Let us take them in order: It may be said of the body-build- ing material that, in a sense, it is the rnost important of all, because we cannot live without it, while we might go on living for some time without most of the others (though -we' could not long remain healthy). Cheese, lentils, haricot beans, split peas, meat, fish, oatmeal, •eggs, nuts and, to a somewat less extent, good bread, all have much body-building material, Fats of all kinds, such as butter, cream, suet, dripping, margarine and nut butter, give warmth and energy, strength and power to work. Sugar, molasses and golden syrup are also heat -giving, and. so are "starchy" foods, such as potatoes, rice and cornstarch. These foods, however, contain very little body-building ma: tenial. Vegetables and fruit (other than peas, beans and lentils) contain scarcely any of the body-building ma- terials, but they give the body what no other foods give, that is, certain juices which purify and enrich the blood, and without which no one can be healthy. It these precious juices which are thrown away when vegetables are boiled in water and the water poured down the sink. If these juices were taken by people every day in properly cooked vege- tables, there would not be nearly so much money spent ab the drug store, as they are the best possible form of natural medicine. The bone -forming materials are to be found principally in milk and cheese, good bread, oatmeal and in onions and many green vegetables. They are absolutely necessary for growing children. The result of chil- dren nob getting enough of them is only too often to be seen in bad teeth and stunted growth. Things to Remember. Grease spots can be removed from the floor by means of alcohol. Allow 20 inches of eipace for each person when setting a dining table. Parsley or celery. rubbed on the hands will destroy the odor of onions. Middies of white crepe save laundry worlc, as they don't have to be ironed. The finer you crush the ice to be used in the freezer the more quick- ly ib will freeze the ice cream. Asparagus is delicious served with brown butter for a change;, instead of on toast with dressing, To preserve rubbers for fruit jars cover them with dry flour. They will be as pliable as when new. A little olive oil poured into a bot- tle of home-made catsup after the bottle has been opened will prevent the catsup from spoiling so quickly. To remove old varnish from fur- niture, take three tablespoonfuls of baking soda and put it in a quart of water and apply with a rough cloth. If when breaking eggs into a bowl a piece of shell gets into the egg, by jest touching with the half shell it will cling -to it and be easily removed. If eggs are placed in hot water a few minutes before breaking the whites will separate from the yokes very easily. They must be cooled before whipping up the whites. Rub a little butter under the edge of the spout of the cream pitcher; it will prevent a drop of cream from running down over the pitcher. To remove tea, coffee, fruit and vegetable stains from white goods, heap cult on the spot, rub hard and rinse it in cold water in which con- siclerable borax has been (Unsolved. The covers of jelly glasses are not airtight,: and since the success of the jelly depends upon the exclusion of all bacteria that cause decay, it is well be put ay good coating of melted paraffin on top of the glasses. When you get your potatoes ready to bake, grease them with lard just before they are put into the oven. It makes the skin come off without too much of the potato adhering to it, with no waste. Try it the next time you bake potatoes. When necessary to iron a rough -dry garment at once, dampen it, roll tight, tcrap in a cloth, then in paper and mit in the oven while the irons are heat- ing. Evaporation will, cause it to be thoroughly dampened in a very few minutes, bet don't have the oven too hot. THE COSSACKS. Pass Their Lives on Horseback in Ser- vice of the Czar. The millions of Cossacks that serve Russia are divided into eleven vois- kos or groups, among which the prin- cipal ones are those of the Don, Kou- ban, Orenberg, Astrachan, Oussouri, Transbaikalie and Terek. These groups have a double hierachy, one side being civil and the other mili- tary. Established by several czars upon the territory that they occupy, they are always ready to vault into the saddle for the defence of the country. Their stanitsi or villages are their ostroghi or citadels of de- fence. There are ito nobles among the Cossacks, as it is forbidden for anyone to acquire property apart from the possessions of the horde. Certain voiskos are practically com- munistic. Between the Cossack vil- lages il lages and the Russian peasants the division is complete. Ethnically the peasants and the Cossacks may be of like origin. The peasants conscien- tiously till the soil. The Cossacks pass their lives on horseback in the service of the Czar and disdain the labors in the fields. The number et sotnias or squadrons of' Cossacks was fixed in time of peace at 894, -with about 100 men in a quadron, a 'total of 89,400.

King George took advantage of his recent trip to France to visit some of those sacred spots which are the last resting places of fallen British sol- diers. If anything were lacking to cement the sympathies of the French and English it would be supplied by the care with which the French people are tending the graves of the British. Long before the French Government decided to constitute the British bur- ial grounds British territory for all time, the people of France took it upon themselves to tend these graves,. anid when the English Graves Regis-, tration Commission began its survey on the field of Marne, it found that the rural population had facilitated the work by naming and numbering all the graves they possibly could, and by keeping them in order. King George, during his recent visit to France, himself saw how this had been done, and specially thanked some of the Maires and cures who had helped. Many burials took place out of consecrated ground, and although the work of transferring buried bodies from casual graves to recog- nized cemeteries, wherever possible,; is proceeding, there remain many graves yet untouched. The British Red Cross Society has caused all these graves to be marked with a per- manent cross, and the French people keep them freshly supplied with flow.' ere. King George had a quick eye for these wayside burial places, and every time he saw one he never failed to raise his hand to salute.
