The Lcg.dy of Lancaster;
Or, Leonora West's Love.
CHAPTER X.
De Vero stared in wonder when his
PLeartap-„,4 friend scrambled up the_plank alone with
hie beautiful bouquet.- He was not a min-
ute too soon, for in an instant the gang-
plank was hauled 'in, and they were out-
ward bound on ;the dark -blue sea.
"Halloo!" shouted the lieutenant, saun-
tering up; "where'e the precious babe?"
Erie air a unfeigned surprise vacs most
oxasperating to Lancaster in his diecup-
pointed mood. Ile was about to exclailn,
"Hang the babel" but recollected himoelf
just In time to s.litnee around at the Pas -
Sensors on deck. No, she was not, there,
the pretty American maid who was so
gracefully indopendeat. "Gone to her
etatarocnn, 'probably," he thought, 'with
profound chagrin, artd leaning aver the
railing pitched his fragrant exotics lee-
puleively into the eee. '
"So mash for my :foolish gallantry to

hotly.

"I don't kno-w . you shotild think

be bete al day that I only had time at
the last to jump mb it carriage and call
for Mies West. Then I was detained by
an impertinent servant who, after ton
minutee of stupid jargon, told me that
my charge had .,one down to the steamer
two hours before. So then we had not a
mlnele to spare, and of course I was
flurried. athen I came aboard."
"Da the bouquet?" euggceted De Vera
curl noel y.
"Oh, I :bought that for my charge," re -
/died Lancaster, airily.
"Beat extravagance! And didn't you
know more about the tastee of babies
than that, my dear fellow? A rattle
would have been a more appropriate end

Poet sttys:
" 'Pleased with r rattle,

"Yes. II remembered that juet as X came
aboard, and I woe so vexed at my .foolish
bouquet that I tested it overboard," Lan -
easter replied, ;with the mtmoet coolness.
He sat down, lighted a -weed, and lean.
Mg over the rail, watched the deep, white
furrows out in the heaving sea by the
bounding shin. His thoughts reverted
provokingly to Leonora, West.
"What is ebe doing? Will she come on

would not cell for her, or did she come
down filet with malice prepense?" he aek.

Lancaster said, with Juet a touch of rail-

"Miss West. permit inc to present My

"Lancaster Jaime her all thh While, and
he has been chaffing me all this time,"
flashed angrily throug-h De Vere's mind,
but he suppreseed hie Tieing chagrin and
said, with his most elaborate bow:
"I asn happy to know your name, Miss

"What audacity:" thought Lancaster to

Leonora turned her bright owe up 10

"When did you come aboard?" she in.
clothed, nalvelY.
"At the laet moment," he replied, re -
flier coldly.
"You were detained?"
"Yee," dryly.
-A, sudden light broke over Do Vere'e
mind. He laughed provokingly,
"Miss West, 'would you like to know
what detained Min?" he inquired.
• "Yes," elm replied. .
"Ito went up to Blank Street, to fetch
you," laughing.
"No?"
"Yee, indeed. Ask him, if you doubt
me."
Sho looked oround ot Laminator. There
was a fin -ah on his Nee, a frown between
hie eyebrows..
"You did not, really, did You?" she ask-
ed, naively.
"I did'," curtly.
"Don't tease him atent h. He wan :furl-
on- ' angry because yen 'ran away and

beginning to turn the tablee on Lemma

know Captain Lancaeter was coming for

"You do not know svhat you have miss-

Lancaster came aboard he had a .grent big

"And I do so love �o -were," said Leonora,
looking round expectantly at the captain.
"Alt, you needn't look round at him
now. It is too late," said Do Vero, wick-
edly. "When he came scrambling up the
gang -plank, ab the last moment, and
didn'1 see you anywhere on deck, be Was
so overeente by his disappointment, to
use the mildest .phraee, that he threw the
beautiful bouquet out, into the sect."
"Ah I you did not, really, did you, Cap-
tain Lancaster?" exclaimed Leonora., re-
gretfully. _•
"Yes; the 110W-ers were beginning to

That night when the girl haul gone te

alone on deck smoking, their cigars in

rather diffidently:
"Oh, I soy, Do Vero, weren't you going

"Eh?" .said the lieutenant.
"I say you oughtn't to try to flirt -with

isn't right. She's -in my care, and I can't

'Tfarmed? Why, what the deuce are you
hinting at, Lancaster?" . his :friend de-
manded, hotly.
'Nothing to unite you ily into a tem-

•ly. "Nothing but what is dene every

Do Vero dreppe.d his fine Havana into
the waves and looked around.
"Look here, Laueaeter," he eaid, "tell
me one thing. Do you 'want MiBe • 'Wee,

"I don't understand you," haughtily,

"What then?" inquired Lancaster,
"Why then, I only want an equal chance
with you, that's all -a fair field and no
favor."
They gazed at each other in (silence it
moment. Litneaster said they, with some.
thing lilte surprise:
"Are you in earnest?"
"Never more so in my life."
"Hove you remembered that your fam-
ily will eonsider it rt snesalliance?"
"I am independent of my family. I have
tei: thoneand a year of my own and 11.111

"But, you aro rash, De 'fere.' You never
saw Leonora West until to -day. What do
yott know of her?"
"I know that she is the fairest, dllOkt
fascinating creature I over snot, and that
she hno carried my heart by storm. X
know that if site le to be won by mortal
man, that man shall bo Harry Do Vera!"
cried the yoking coldier, enthusittetically.
There was eilence again. The great elan
rose and foil with the heaving of - the
wavee, and it seemed to Lancaster that
ite labored efforts were liko the throbbing
of tt boort in pain. What wits tharnatter
with him? Ho Shook off angrily the
trance that held him.

carefully nursed by his wife who
was very dev.oted to. him. in spite
of his fault-feiclin,g disposition.. His
suffering caused her to burst into
tears sometimes as she sab, by his

During 'the period of saline' life,
the -re is great activity as well as
constant development and !growth
of the body, -all of which has to be
provided for in considering the
food. If care is not taken at this
time, the foundation is laiEl for fu-
ture 'weakness and disease.. The
food must be abundant arid well
cooked, and all the fo-od principles
.sho.uld be ,supplied, lhoztoto-ay
should be. avoided.
The school luncheon takes the
place of the noon ineal at home and
should be substantial and drool-
ive. Many lunches that are now
discarde,d woul-d' be eaten if they
we -re attractively areanged. Of all
the containers for carryieg lunch
the paper bag is probably the best.
The pasteboard Or papier mache
boxes. are 'hard to keep in a sani-
tary condition. A tin pail is one
of the best carriers as it keeps the
food clean, and prevents dryieg. 56
used, it should be scalded each day.
The thermos lunch box has com-
partments which ere, very conveni-
ent and a thermos bottle for carry-
ing hot cocoa, Milk or soup. The
first co.st is high, but with good
care, it will last indefinitely. This,
of course, should be aired and
scalded after using. !Sandwiches
!EOM. a part of every lunch and fer-
tunately there are numberless kinds
that may be made. Two kinds may
bona -de each day'one of meat or
eggs or fish, and tlre .other of some
°Ivilleetit.t is rather more acceptable
if finely minced and mixed with sal-
ad dressing than iE sIuoed. Eith
may he Baked and mixed with milk,
lemon juice, pimento, • or sala,c1
dressing. Oheese, may be mixed
with nuts. Gre-en peas, greens, Or
baked beans may be mashed and
seasoned, and prunes, figs, raisins
and dates'may ,be chopped and
spread alone or with nuts. The
'bread for -sandwiches can be varied
by the uso of nu-bbreacl, graham or
oatmeal. The home-made bread is
,best; it should be cut thinly and
spread with creamed ;butter. Cus-
tards, stewed ramie, junket, rice
pudding, jolly, etc., may 'be carried
in a .small glass jar. •Cookies are
more easily carried than cakes, and
there are many varieties that may
be rnaae an that the child will nob

as possible. The children should
