THROUGHTHE DARK
SHADOWS
Or The Sunlight of Love '
CHAPTER V.—(Cont'd).
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.

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.

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. But this number has been
greatly augmented since the war be-
gan.

TENDING BRITISH GRAVES.
King George Thanks French People
• For Work Done.
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. Once, stand-
ing bareheaded at a nameless grave,
he quoted Rupert Brookes matchless
lines:
"There's some corner of a foreign
field
That is forever England."

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. But this number has been
greatly augmented since the war be-
gan.

TENDING BRITISH GRAVES.
King George Thanks French People
• For Work Done.
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. Once, stand-
ing bareheaded at a nameless grave,
he quoted Rupert Brookes matchless
lines:
"There's some corner of a foreign
field
That is forever England."
