"All here," asked Leroy in. his clear voice, as they descended the steps to where the motors stood waiting "Come along"—turning to the rest of the praty —"we are all going to supper to celebrate Ada's triumph. Nether's, dismiss your car; old man, and come with us; we want to hear the rustle of your laurels." Laughingly, they entered the vehicles, while, above all the others, rang the harsh voice of the, womaa, and Jessica, bearing it, ehuddered in- voluntarily. Then they were gone. Suddenly, while the girl's eyes were straining after them, the last motet stopped, and Jasper Vermont jumped out and hastened back into the theatre. More out of idle curiosity than any- thing also, or perhaps again prompted by the guardian angel of Leroy's hon- or, she waited to see him come out again. In a few minutes he re -ems ergedsbearing in his hand a small roll of papers, one of which he was read- ing, with a malicious smile on hie face. Jessica unwittingly stood in his path, and he crashed into her with such force as to knock his hat to the ground. With an oath he struggled to regain it, pushing her roughly aside. "Out of my way, girl," he exclaimed thinking she was about to bog from him. "Ishave nothing for you." At the sound of his voice Jessica's face whitened, and she turned away, frightaned and trembling; as she did so, her loot struck against something light lying on the kerb. She stooped and found it was a small roll of pap- ers, part of those which had been in the gentleman's hand, and which he had been studying so attentively. She did not trouble to open it, but slipped it into the bosom of her dress sod walked dreamily away. CHAPTER XVI. "Is it a Rubens, or is it not? That is the question," drawled Frank Pars 54 lie, as he dropped his eyeglasses. . On an easel in Lady Merivale's citawing-room, stood a picture, before which were grOuped a small assembly of her friends, including one or two artists and connoisseurs. Lord Merivale was also present, having been dragged way from his beloved farm, and Worried into the purchase of this picture—the usual "Portrait of ci gentleman"—by his beautifulevife. He himself knew no- thing whatsoever about it, either as to its value or its genuineness; it was worn and dirty looking, and, in his opinion, srould have been dear at a live -potted note. "Yes, that is the question," echoed Lord Standen. "It's not a bad face though. I should vote it genuine right eitough." "It's extremely dirty," yawned Lord Merivale, casting a longing leek at the green grass of the park oppo- eite and thinking of his new short- horne in Somersetshire. "Philistine!" exclaimed his wife, tapping him playfully on the arm "You are incorrigible. • Dirty! why, that is tone." "Ah," returned her husband, turn- ing away and gazing admiringly at a Mill by Potter. He was as wise as he had been before; for the jargon of Art and fashionable society was .not one of his accomplishments. "I tell you who :Would be a good judge," put in Mr. Paxhorn. The rest 'turned inquiring eyes on him. "Who?" asked Lord Standen. "Adrian Leroy. He is an artist, though he keeps his talents as secret as if they were crimes. It was he who did the designs for my last book." A murmur of astonishment ran through the room. Nearly everyone knew that it was to the illustrations the book owed the greater portion of its success. "A modesty quite unfoshionable," exclaimed Lady Merivale, whose beautiful face had flushed ever so slightly at the mention of Adrien's name. "Yes," admitted Paxhorn. "Men have t� proclaim their gifts very loudly in the market -place, before they sell their wares nowadays." "Oh'Adrian is a veritable Crialiton," put in Lord Standen. "There is very little he does not blow, and even that is made up by the estimable Jasper." "Yes, I saw them together not half an hour ago," said Paschorn. "If I had known pf this picture, I would have got them to come with me; for Vermont is a genius at settling any question under the sun." "He's not always right, though," put in Lord Merivale, quietly. "What about that horse of Leroy's? Wasn't it Vermont who was so surefdoefieshtlys winning the race? Yet his did not win, did he?" "No, I know that," said Standen, with a rueful smile, as be...thought of leis added debts. "That was not Vermont's lack of judgment," put in Pakhorn, who, for private reasons of his own, always stood up for that gentleman. "I am sure the horse would have won had it not been, for Adrien's ill-timed gen- erosity." "What was that?" inquiad Lady. Merivale, looking keenly over at him. "He gave the jockey a ten -pound note the night before the race; and of course, the fellow got drunk, and pull- ed the 'King! up at the last fence," "And lost his life, did he not?" ask- ed one of the artists. Lord Standen nodded thoughtfully. He was attached to his friend Leroy, and did not see why he should be blamed unnecessarily. "Yes," he replied; "the strangest part of it was the way the poor fel- low raved at Vermont.' "What do you mean ?" asked Lady Merivale, sharply. "We were all standing round explained Lord Standen, "and when Vermont came up the man seemed to go off his head, and practically said he Wear Those Comfortable QM Shoes This Winter And Show Your Patriotism and Thrift —Inexpensive Rubbers or Over- shoes Will Protect Your Feet . The spectacular rise in leather prices has a sig- ilificance far beyond its painful effect on our personal expenses—it is becoming a serious Matter for the . Government and our soldiers at the Front. The war is using up leather much faster that.; it is being produced''. The reserve,' particularly of high-grade leather, is steadily diminishing. If the soldiers are to have plenty for shoes and equipment, and if the Governthent is to be able to procure it at prices within reason0 civilians must economize on it to the limit This is the reason well.,worn shoes are no longer a discredit, but an honor—an evidence that the wearer pilots patriotism before pride, thrift before vanity.

Of course, it was all nonsense, though I believe Lord BarMinister is havieg some inquiries made." ' "But why should Vermont have sold the. race? Really, it's too absurd," put in Posthorn scornfully. "EsPeci- atly as he'd backed him for five hun- dred pounds himself. It's hardly likely he'd do such a thing for his erni sake, apart from his sense of honor, and his friendship for Leroy. Lady Merivale glanced sceptically at the speaker. • Her faith in Sas- peep sense of honor was not very strong. " Then she gave a deep eigh. ' 'Why, Eveline, " Said her husband, looking up, "you seem quite 'grieved. Not on your own account, I hope?" The idea of his wife betting was very repugnant to him, and Lady Merivale always andeavered to keep her little flutters, whether on 'Change OT on the turf, entirely to herself. She laughed lightly, therefore as she anewered: "Oh, no, incle d; i lost a dozen of • gloves; that was i, 11," A vision of the cheque for five h ndeed pound' which she had drawn, arose before her as she spoke. , than that to settle Leroy's book," I' said' Lord Merivale carelessly, At thie moment the door opened and •Adrien Leroy himself was an- nounced. There was the usual buzz of welcome, and her ladyship's eyes flashed just one second, as he bent over her hand. I "I am so glad you have come, Mr. ; Leroy," she mid. • "You can settle a !knotty question for us. This is MY latest acquisition. Now have I been deceived, or have I not? Is it a Other's?" . Adrien smiled at the two artists who were slight acquaintances of his. ; "You aek me while such judges are . near? Cannot you decide, Alford— nor you, Colman?" ' "Well, I say it is," said the first. : "While I think it is forgery," laugh- ed the second; and thereupon ensued a lengthy and detailed criticism. I Adrien bent nearer to the picture 'under examination; than he said , quietly. 1 "Where two such lights cannot dis- cover the truth, who may? I agree with you, Alford, and so I do with you, , Colman. Both your arguments are I so convincing that if Rubens had 'painted it, and were present, to hear you, Colman, he'd be persuaded he I hadn't; and if he had not painted it, you, Alford, could almost convince I• him that he tad." I There was a general smile - at the : artists' expenr; and Adrian continu- ed: ' "Rubens' touch" --examining the face—"but—what is this?" He point- ed to a small weapon thrust into the girdle of the figure. "That is a dagger," said Alford. "Here, where are the glasses?" "Thanks," said Adrien, "but I don't require them. It is a dagger, and a Florontino one at that Al I "I'm afraid it will take a little more Lady Merivale, I'm afraid your picture is more a specimen of what a modern impostor can rile to than that of an old master.

The two maids stared, as well they might, Tait were neither sufficiently acquainted with -Leroy to express their surprise at is knowledge, nor had knowledge enough themselves to challenge his dates. • (To be continued). --a-- — NO THRILL AT ,STROCITIES. Frequency of Hun Frightfulness DOS Resentment. That the world is hearing, if not ex- actly with indifference, at least with- out very vehemently expressed indig- nation, about the present expatria- tions of Belgians, can be explained only under the psychological law that any stimulus, When too often and too long applied, ceases to produce either nervous or muscular response, says ; the New York Times. What is in progress is nothing less than the reduction to literal, unmiti- gated slavery, not of an uncouth and inferior race, but of a people both civ- ilized and courageous and lacking only the numbers that alone, in a war like this one, make military prowess ef- fective. Such things. have been done it the past, and not infrequently, but it was in the remote past, and a re- turn to the ancient practice had ceas- ed long since to be considered a possi- bility. But bow the- old ruthlessness is revived. In a way, the removal of the -Bel- gian workers to Germany, where each will release from .civil employment a man to increase the Raiser's armies, is an atrocity worse than those that marked the original violation of . Bel- gium's neutrality. The horrors of mas- sacre and murder are missing ie this later exemplification of "military ne- cessity," but the cruelty is greater, the agonies are more prolonged, and the violation of international law is not less. The excuse given for it-eea fear lest the Belgien artisans Vise their skill through idleness anybe- come demoralized through the accept- ance of charity—are so obviously in - Valid, and the real reason is so ap- parent, that only the callousness ac- quired through hearing, for two years Of one like proceeding' after another accounts for the comParative calm- ness with which the world learns of these removals Protests, indeed, are made here and there and, as always, the voice of Cardinal 'Mercier is heard in bold de- nunciation -of the oppressors and ex- ploiters of his land, but there is no general excitement and still less 'of expectation that the protest; will be effective. It passes as merely another addition to an already endless list, and the difference it makes in the full score is hardly appreciable. o • Got The Wrong Person.

Much Money Pouring in Through War Trade. fa the principal hotel at Christiania, Norway, each evening now you will find the majority of people taking champagne with their dinner, though it is obvious that the drink is an un- accuStomed one, says she London • Chronicle. In another quarter of the town you may see a string of people of modest circumstances at an official bureau getting tickets for Olean bread' and cheap ;fuel. That gives a hint of the economic position of Nor- I way. An -enormous amount of new 'money is pouring into the country through. war trade, and is enriching I certain circles, and at the same time the tremendously high prices for com- modities are pressing heavily on classes who are on fixed wages, liked salaries, or fixed pensions. Norway as a whole is far richer by the war, Ibut the new money has not percolated down to every class and every• widual, In parenthesis it May be add- ed that many of those Who feel the pinch jump to the conclusion that it is our blockade which is causing them annoyance and inconvenience. Speak- ing generally, however, I think there can be no doubt that a -very large ma- jority of the Norwegians are better off and not worse off through the war. I A general survey of the occupations of the country give a guiding line— There are about two and a half mil- lion people in Norway, of which agri- culture claims nearly a million and the fishing and shipping industries over 200,000. These are, so to speak, war industries, and must be malting big extra profits. Apart from these the wage-earners• bnearly a million. Some of these are getting extra money equivalent to the rise in prices, and coins are not, but as there is no unemployment and everyone can get work who wants it or is able to do it the deficiency in wages is sure to incline towards a ecetification. With regard to these wage earners • it must be remembered that apart from commercial activities due direct- ly to the war there are enormous ins &Istria developmente in Norway. A portion of the war profits has gone towards the extension of waterfall power for electricity, and this must proyide an increasing demand for la- bor. The trade unionists, numbering 80,000, have secured advances, thoughnot suffeient to meet the deficiency. ' Still, there are meny wage-earners' who are sharingin the -a ts.

The high price and scarcity o' foreign dyestuffs will drive many housekeepers to the old-time home- made dyes of grandmother's days. The bright yellow or denary color used for cotton goods in bright color- ed rag carpets, can be made by boil- ing twigs of craba,pple trees in soft Water. A deeper yellow-orange color is ob- tained by the simple method of boil- ing five cents' worth of copperas in water enough to nmke one pailful. This -gives a dull sage -green looking hue, which changes 'to orange color after dipsiing the -rags in a weak solu- tion of lye water. After wringing these out, shake and expose. them to the sun and air; at first the color will not be bright, but as the rags dry the oeloslonrgecomes out a strong lasting For blue color use the liquid bluing in bottles. And if green is required, after securing a good shade of blue, redip the fabric or rags in the yellow dye. For a pretty pink shade, needed for ribbons or melt:den hoods, soak a sheet, or so of Might fed Crepe paged in water; let it lie in soft wateg site a long time. Then squeeze out all the pulp. You can make anY Pinksh do of dye by this'procees. A very good- shade of linen color, et:habit for motor coats and dusters, is made by twisting hay into a rope or coil, pled -hg it in a pail, and pa iring boiling hot water over it; let it steep until cool, then drain off the iquid and use at once, Walnut hulls, and also a decoction of log -wood chips, give a very fine brown color. For dove and slate color, in iron ves- sel boil a teacupful of black tea, with it teeepo-aful of copperas and suffici- ent water to extract and dissolve. Afterward dilute with water to the shade desired. For purple, for each pound of goods use two ounces of cudbear. Rice the goods well in soapsiuds, then dis- solve the cudbear in hot suds—not quite boiling --and soak the goods un- til the required color is obtained, The color is brightened by rinsing in alum Water. Useful Household Suggestions. When eggs are scarce and are need- ed for puddings, a dessertspoonful of cornstarch will take the place of one egg. ,A pinch of soda added to a berry pie before the upper; crust is put on will keep it from running over.

Don't imagine that palatable food can be prepared from poor materials. Inarrow. This will insure thorough baking. tisbetter for the loaf pans to be Baby's underwear should be ironed on the wrong side as well as en the right. • Dirt anywhere is nothing short of dangerous. The red-hot stove is a needless waste of pf iucecle. s f ingrain carpet can often be used by weaving into a rug. A pitch of posadered sage leaves gives a relish to cold pork. To fry fish propeily they should be put into boiling hot fat. Silk clothes and woollen clothes should be washed separately. A dish of cold water in the oven will prevent cake from burning. A spoonful of water added to an egg before beating makes it more frothy. To get cake out of a pan whole when taken from the oven set it on a wet cloth for fie minutes. New tinware will not rust if greased with a little fresh lard and baked in the oven before it is used. A little flO'br spread over the top of cakes before they are iced will prevent the icing from running off. Bread crumbs should always be used for covering articles for frying, as cracker crumbs absorb the grease. To make boiled potatoes white let them lie (pared in cold water for two or three. hours previous to cooking. White enamelled furniture should be washed in warm soapy water, and wip- ed dry quickly and rubbed with a flan- nel dipped in dry whiting, then rubbed with a clean leather. A pinch of ginger added to the bat- ter of fritters or the dough for crul- lers and doughnuts will prevent the soaking of fat. A pinch of ginger blended with sausage meat will make it harmless to delicate stomachs. A wire basket, known as a salad shaker or drainer, should be used to dry greens after they have been thor- oughly washed. Leaves of lettuce often hold water after they have been well shaken. If they are not fully dry they will not hold dressing well. "We teach the baby to talk first," said the grandfather. "Then we te it Co hold its tongue." 0.110111•04.:30.11.
