THROUGH THE DARK SHADOWS
Or The Sunlight of Love
CHAPTER XIV.—(Cont'd).
"No, Lady Constance," he said. "I
fear the world gives me too much
credit. I have nothing to do with this
whim of Adrien's. save to pay out the
salaries for the company. The man-
agernent is his—or rather, perhaps, I
should say; Miss Lester's; and em
not answerable for its failures or its
,successee. I believe, too, he is about
to give the whole place to Miss Lest-
er."
Lady Constance started all -riot un-
consciously, and Jasper knew that his
words had hit home at last.
"I am sure you do your best to help
him," she said, after a moment's
pause.
'You are most kind," he returned
with a bow and an ironic smile. "I
trust you will lei me prove ray friend-
ship both to Adrien and yourself."
CHAPTER- )CV.
It was the night on which Adrien
had returned to town. Jessica, ignor-
ant that he had ever left it, had found
her way to his chambers, and waited
there patiently and hungrily in the
hope of once snore seeing him. AS
the clock struck eight she decided that
it was unless to remain any longer,
and accordingly retraced her stens
through the crowded thoroughfares.
Anything would be better than wait-
ing like this, she thought despairingly.
After the silence of the deserted
street, the crowd, pushing and jostl-
ing her, brought her almost a feeling
of satisfaction. Even if she were
alone, at least she could not be solitary
while the world rushed peat lien, in its,
eager search for pleasure.
At one point near Charing Cross al
few curious loafers had collected on
either side of the brilliantly -lit facade
on a theatre, over which, in colored
lights, was the name, "The Casket." I
As Jessica stood watching
indeed almost unconsciously, a hand -1
some motor rolled up before the im-
posing entrance. The little group
surged b beforethe white -gloved

but the door of the car had already
been thrown open by the chauffeur,
and a gentleman and lady stepped out.:
At the sight of one of them,
Jessica's indifference became changed
to a feverish eagerness. rhe color

parted. She, swayed back, half fear-
ful, half desirous that he Should gee
her; for it was he, the man for whom
she had waited so long, the man she,
had enshrined within her heart..
Adrion, all his doubts as to the Pos-,

had left her presence, had come down'
to the theatre with two objects. One

Absorbed in his own reflections, he,

be interested in her.
"Not 'ell, she ain't," agreed the
man, with. the Londoners' ride in lay-

"She's got a house like a duchess, and
can eat off gold or silver if she
chooses; an' all for her face, for she
can't net for nuts. I've see 'er, so
I know!". With which lordly criticism,
he closed the subject.
As for Jessica, sick at heart with
jealously, she turned up one of the side
streets to commence her long wait for
Adrien Leroy; while the group dis-
persed, laughing and chattering.
The "Casket" was filled now to its
utmost capacity. It was the first
night of a new piece. The unfort-
unate comedy which Ada had so
strongly condemned had been with-
drawn, and a so-called musical farce—
consisting of very had music, and still
worse comedy—hastily put on in its
stead. As usual, no expense had been
spared in the mounting, and Adrien's
' money had been poured out like water

was with the bitterness of death that
she saw him pass her by in the com-
pany of this beautiful woman. Mingl-
ed also with her jealousy was another
feeling, that of partial recognition.
For the moment—she could not re-
member where—but at some time in
the past, she fancied she had seen that
dark highly -colored face, and heard the
harsh vulgar voice.
' As Leroy. turned from the motor,
she heard him say to the chauffeur;
"Be here at eleven."
"At eleven," she thought, "then
I will be here too, and see him once
more."
She hung on the outskirts of the
group and listened with greedy ears
for any chance word that might arise
about her idol.
"A reeler beauty, I should just
think so," said a man, addressing an-
other who had passed a remark on
the lady in
"Heaven alone knows what. it cost
you," he added.
"I certainly don't know myself," ad-
mitted Adrien, knocking the ash from
his cigarette. "Ask Paxhorn—he
wrote the lyrics, and bad the manage-
ment; or better still Vermont, whom
I'm going to see myself presently.
But this will be a success, Mortimer,
and I shall make a fortune."
"Yes," said Shelton quietly, "for
Paxhorn and Vermont. Well, it's no
business of mine, of course."
He turned to Ada,who had been tap-
ping her foot angrily during this lit-
tle conversation. "Well, Miss Lest-
er," he said, "haven't you a word for
one, to -night?"
She glared at him viciously, for
Mortimer was not a favorite of hers.
"Yes," she snapped. "I hate the
sight of you!"
Both men laughed as though amus-
ed.

of the group aired their knowledge of
the rapidly entering, smartly -dressed
audience.
"That's Mr. Leroy's friend, Mr.

er again. "I've 'card tell 'e does

Use Rubber To Save Leather
—.It Is Needed In The War!
Rubber Supply Is Ample—.
Leather Is Scarce and Very High
Leather is being worn out faster today than ever
before ill the history of the world, while production
is considerably lass than a few years ago. While the
consequent shortage is keenly felt by the civilian
who has to pay half as much again for his own and
his family's shoes, it is even more serious for the
Government, which must supply hundreds of thou-
sands of soldiers.
Rubber, too, is being 'used in enormous quanti-
ties on account of the war—one British manufacturer,
for instance, is working on a rubber boot order for
the army which will take 14,000,000 pounds of rubber,
fabric and chemicals. But the supply, thanks to the
great rubber plantations in Britain's tropical Dom-
inions, is easily keeping up with the demands, and raw,
rubber, despite a war tax Of 72%, is actually cheaper
today than before the war. So, though the fabric and
chemicals used cost nearly double, rubber footwear
haS, not gone Up Very much in price,
These conditions naturally.are leading thoughtful,
thrifty, patriotic Canadians to save leather just as
much as possible by wearing rubbers, overshoes, high
rubber boots and heavy farm rubbers. In addition
US the very substantial saving in cost, rubber foot-
wear has decided advantages for wet or cold weather
around the farm or its the woods. The men like its
warm, dry comfort under all conditions, and the
women like the way it sheds the dirt instead of bring-
ing it in to mit and track ai'ound the house. For
the children, too, particularly if they are walking a long
way to school, rubbers and overshoes mean a great
deal in warmth, comfort and protection against colds.

"'Yes, and as good as she is beauti-
ful," declared that gentleman, making
her a low hew.
With a furious glance at him, and
a furtive look at Adrien'she passed
them, and, accompanied by a burst of
music from the orchestra and a storm
of clapping from the audience, she
commenced her dance.
Shelton watched her with a sneer.
"Hark! how they applaud," he said,
glancing up at the crowded end de-
lighted house. They seem to ad -
Mire her, anyway. Long live Miss
Ada, Queen of dancers. Adrien, why
do you put up with that painted vix-
en?"
Leroy smiled at his sudden change
of tone,
"Don't let her hear yc•-," lie said.
"And don't worry yourself about me,
old fellow."
"You're afraid of her," continued
his friend. "Oh, yes, you may think
it an impertinence if you like, but I
know you are. You'd face a cannon's
month sooner than that woman's
angry abase. You dread a scene as a
musician does a false note. Pm me.
I'm sick of the whole world,"
"Why do you remain in it, then?"
asked Adrien, laughing.
"For the same reason as yourself,"
'replied the cynic. "Neither of us
know what the next will be like."
Adrien laughed, but before he could
explain to lois friend his plan with re-
gard to Ada, a crowd of pretty dancers
in silver gauze surounded him, beggiog
for real bon -bons, instead of the paint-
ed property sweets given out to them.
"Do you girls think I am made of
Bon -bons, like the piece?" he said
waving them back. "Why, you'll
make .yourselves ill."
"Oh, Mr. Leroy," pouted one, "we've
danced so hard, tool"
"Co to Mr. Vermont, then," Was the
indolent realy; "he'll give you what
you want," and with a math they swept
back on the stage.

REAL OBJECTS OF ALLIES.
Max Harden Points Them Out to the
German People.
The Amsterdam correspondent of
the London Times writes that in a
new article in his newspaper, Maxi-
milian Harden condemns German ef-
forts to provoke peace discussions as
insincere and useless.
He argues that for Germany to say,
"we do not want annexation," but to
reject the independence of every state
is meaningless. Moreover, the state-
ment that Germany fears no tribunal
of inquiry does not mean that Ger-
many is willing to submit her case to
an impartial jury for trial of all
causes of the war. Harden urges
Germany to understand the real ob-
jects of the Entente and says that
they are, first, to bring Germany into
lirie with the political system of west-
ern Europe and to end what the En-
tente powers certainly consider to
be a survival in Germany of bellt-
cose feudalism; secondly, to introduce
into Germany parliamentary govern-
ment, so' that the people shall really
have something to say in the policy
of the country; thirdly, the establish-
ment as the central idea of German
preparation, the determination to keep
the peace and not, as hitherto, the
determination to be ready for war;
fourthly, to restrict armaments in
proportion to population; and fifthly,
to establish real international arbi-
tration based upon such guarantees
as will insure the punishment of the
rebellious. Harden indicates that an
offer to endeavor to fulfil these condi-
tions would find a fruitful response
before Christmas.
After a long interval since the sus-
pension of his journal, Theodore
Wolff reappears ins the Tageblatt.• He
suggests a connection between Baron
Burian's visit to the Chancellos and
peace negotiations rumors, but warns
his readers not to over-estimate the
importance of these things, sMce
there are few indications of any in-
clination toward peace on the part of
the allies.

"Does my practising make you ner-
vous'?" asked the man who is leans -
Mg to play the cornet.
"It did when I first heard the peo-
ple round about discussing replied
the sympathetic neighbor. "But now
I'm getting so I don't care what hap-
pens to you."
They Did and Did They?
"Look at the great cities of anti-
quity," exclaimed the lecturer. "Where
are they now? Why, some of them
have perished so utterly that it is
doubtful if they ever existed."

Hints for the Home
F
Toothsome Dishes.
When baking beans try using saus-

each of American cheese, Roquefort
cheese and bread crumbs with one
half -teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

in deep fat. Serve these with the
meat course.
Sausage rolls.—Make a rich biscuit
dough, roll thin and cut with a large
cooky cutter; have fried link sausage
piping hot; roll one link in each disk
of dough, pinch the ends together and
bake. Serve on a hot platter with
brown gravy.
Home-made deviled ham.— Chop
very fine one pint of boiled ham (two-
thirds fat and one-third lean) and six
hard-boiled eggs; add one tablespoon

dough, one cup brown sugar,
oose-half cup shortening, one-half cup
milk, one egg well beaten, one and
one-half cups flour sifted with one and
one-half teaspoons baking powder,
one saltspoon salt, one teaspoon cin-
namon, one-quarter teaspoon ground
cloves, niece and nutmeg, one-third
cup chopped raisins and eight chopped
figs.
Turnip balls.—Wash and peel fine-
grained turnips, then cut into balls,
using a vegetable seoop. Drop into
boiling water, lightly salted, adding'

'platter, as it is quite spoiled if allow-
ed to get cold.
Roasted Lamb Chops.—Order chops

chop cracked. season with salt and
roast about half an hour. Pare
small potatoes .of uniform size, and
parboil ten minutes in boiling salted
water. Drain and cook in pan with
lamb chops about forty minutes, leav-
ing them in after removing chops to
a warm place. Baste the potatoes
with the fat when basting the chops.
Eggless, Milldess and Butterless
Cake.—One cupful brown sugar, 2
cupfuls seeded raisins, 1-3 cupful lard,
1 cup water, Si teaspoonful grated
nutmeg, 2 teaspoonfuls, cinnamon, 1
teaspoonful ground cloves, pinch of
salt. • Boil about half an hour in a
double boiler. When cold add 1 tea-
spoonful of soda dissolved in a little

has been sifted. Bake in loaf shape
in a moderate oven for thirty minutes.
Poor Man's Fruit Calce.—One pound
seedless raisins, three cups sugar,
three cups water, four tablespoons cin-
namon, three tablespoons lard, four
tablespoon salt. Boil all together five
minutes. When cool add four and
one-half cups sifted flour and a tea-
spoon of soda. Bake one halm; ill
moderate oven, This amount will
make three celtes the size of a loaf of
bread. Wrap them in oiled paper
and they will keep a week or longer,
Mother's Hash,—Remove all surplus
fat and bits of gristle from the left-
over corned beef, season with ealt,,
popper;,chop fine, and to one-third of

fel of granulated corn meal, one cup-
ful of graham flour, three-fourths of a
tablespoonful of soda and one table-
spoonful of salt. Add three-fourths
of a eupful of molasses and two cup-
fuls of sour milk. Fill buttered one -
pound baking powder boxes two-thirds
full of mixture, adjust buttered cov-
ers and tie down with string—other-
wise the bread in rising might force
otr the covers. Place boxes on a
trivet in a kettle containing boiling
water, allowing water to conic half
way up around .molds. Cover closely
and steam one and one-half hours,
adding more boiling water as needed.

Celery WS a Basis and a Flavoring,
Celery should be used as frequently
DB possible, not only because of its
delicious flavor, but because it is one
of the few vegetables possessing so
many highly valuable chemical salts.
Indeed, it has been declared very often
that celery has direct curative pro-
perties for the nervous rheumatic or
neuralgic person. Incidentally, there
is virtually no waste to celery—every
bit of it can be used.
Of course, we know best the use of
the delicate inside stalks, for salads
and fillings. But the outside stalks,
even though not perfect enough in ap-
pearance for service in the raw, should
not be neglected, but stewed or used
in the making of soup. The trim-
mings, too—leaves, imperfect stalks—
can be added to broths, soups or used
to help flavor other dishes. The
addition of a little chopped celery to
any kind of meat or vegetable dish is
sure to improve its flavor.
If celery is not used immediately,
it should be wrapped in paper and
kept in a cool place, and it will then
remain in perfect condition for many
days.
Celery and Chestnut Soup .—Two
cupfuls of chestnuts, two cupfuls of
celery, four cupfuls of milk, two table-
spoonfuls of butter, small onion, car-
rots, salt, four cloves. Chop the
celery, onion and carrot and brown in
butter, add milk and cloves and allow
to stew for about one hour. Blanch
chestnuts and boil ten minutes. Drain
and stew for half an hour in one-half
of the celery liquor that has been stew-
ing. Then press through a colander
and pour into the remaining celery
and milk mixture and cook for ten
minutes. Serve hot and, if desired,
garnish with a few whole cooked
chestnuts.
Scalloped Celery,—Two cupfuls of
diced celery, one cupful milk or cream,
two tablespoonfuls of buttes', two
tablespoonfuls of flour,two eggs, bread
crumbs, grated cheese. Put the cel-
ery in boiling salted water and stew
for five minutes, and drain. Take
one-half cupful of water in which the
celery has boiled and cook with milk
and butter. When boiling, thicken
with flour—first moistened with a lit-
tle cold milk—then cook until smooth.
Season and add celery. When
partly cool stir two well -beaten eggs
and pour the mixture Into a buttered
baking dish, cover with breadcrumbs,
a few bits of butter and place in hot
oven until brown. Before serving,
sprinkle with grated cheese.
Celery Fritters,—One cupful of
celery, one cupful of milk, one cup-
ful of flour, two eggs, one teaspoon-
ful of baking powder. Cut the celery
into three-inch strips, place in boiling
water- for ten minutes, then drain and
wipe. Make a batter of eggs, milk
and Amor, dip celery in batter and
fry in deep fat. The tender celery
stalks combine well in a salad with
apples and other fruits, and almost all
nuts, especially hazel nuts. A very
delicate salad is the combinations of
alligator pear and celery hearts diced,
