The Lady of La caster ;
Or, Leonora West's Love.
CHAPTER XXXIV, the ant of f her coldness, her
studied 1
It was quite likely that De Vere
would'• see the difference between his
lowly born love and the real lathes in
the room, as Lady Adele had said
but that he would be disenchanted.
was quite another matter. There cer-
tainly appeared to be no chance of
it now. He was charmed with the
splendid musical talent she had
evinced. He felt a glow of pride in
her as if she belonged to him al-
ready.
"You have done splendidly," he
whispered, as he hung delightedly
over her. "There is not a lady in the
room who can do half so well."
"Thank you," she replied, demure-
ly."But you had better givo'me an-
other piece. I am here to play, not
to talk."
.
indifference. There was a gulf be-
tween them that grew wider and
wider at every • effort he made to
• bridge it. •
"Heaven help me! I am a fool to
waste my heart on one who laughs at
my love," he said to himself. I will
tear her from my heart. I will
never show her again the tenderness
of a heart she choose to trample. She
will choose De Vere. That is wise.
He is rich, I have nothing but Lan-
caster. Yet, if she would love me, I
could bear poverty without a sigh,
deeming myself rich in her affection,"
His aimless walk led him to the
Magic Mirror, where he had come
upon her so suddenly and with such
irrepressible joy that night. If only
she had listened to him then, she
would have known the whole story
of that passionate love wherewith he
loved her—the did not even care to
hear, he said to himself with bitter
pain and humiliation as he gazed into
the clear pool from which her face'
had shone on him that night, and
fooled him with the love he thought
he saw on the'lips and in the eyes.
He had always been gay and light-
hearted until now, but an hour of pro-
found bitterness came to him to-
night alone in the odorous moonlit
stillness. The words of Leonora's
song seined to echo in his brain:
"Vol my heart was hot and restless,
And my life was full of care,
And the burden laid upon, me
Seemed greater than I could bear."
"I wish that I could go back to
my regiment to -morrow," he thought.
"Why should I linger on here, and
how 'will it all end, I wonder? Will
De Vere marry Leonora? shall. I
marry Lady Adela? What will fate.
do with the tangled thread of our
lives, I wonder?"
He went back to the house, and he
found that Leonora was gone, and
that Be' Vere had gone over to the
fauteuil, and was talking to the earl's
daughter. Several of the men had
formed a coterie around Lady Lan-
caster, and were good-naturedly up-
braiding her because she had declin-
ed to present them to the beautiful
musician.
"I could not do it, really," said the
dowager. "She is not in our set at
all. She is a mere nobody, the de-
pendent niece of my housekeeper."
Well,, but Lancaster and De Vere,were quite hand -in -glove with her,"
objected one.
"A mere accidental acquaintance.
She. came over from America with
them," said the dowager, carelessly.
In fact, she was inwardly raging
with .•vexation. Hen clever ,plan for
annihilating Leonora had failed. The
girl had appeared to much more ad-
vantage than she had expected—had
created a sensation, in fact. The men
were all in raptures, the women were
all angry and jealous, and Leonora's
modest withdrawal from the scene
as soon as she arose from the piano
was felt by all as a relief.
Lieutenant De Vere had gone with
her as far as the door. He had held
her hand a minute in saying good-
night.
May I come into Mrs. West's room
and see you to -morrow?" he 'asked,
with an entreating glance into the
bright eyes, tend,he saw a gleam of
mischief shining in them.
' "Will Lady Lancaster permit you
to do so?" she inquired, demurely.
"Yes," he replied. "I have told her
quite frankly the reason why I came
to Lancaster Park, and she heel no-
thing to say against it. If you will
letmeseeyou to -morrow, orrow I will tell
,
you what I told her," he continued,
with
beating fast as he gaz-
edwtih his heart 1
f,
at her fresh young beauty.
He longed to say, "Give me the
right to place you on an equality with
these women as my wife," but he was
afraid to venture yet. Something in
her cold, careless manner forbade the
thought. He said to himself that he
;must wait until he knew her longer
and had wooed her more. She was
not to be lightly won, this beautiful
;gifted girl. She was proud and sen-
sitive. He would have to bide his
time.
So with a smothered sigh lie placed
before her several pieces, and while
she played he stood silently by her
side, turning the leaves of her music,
and gazing into the beautiful, soul-
Sul
oulSul face, proud and glad in the privi-
lege he enjoyed of being so near her.
When she had played several in-
strumental pieces brilliantly, lie
placed another song before her.
"Let me hear if you can sing as
well as you can play," he pleaded.
She glanced at the . song. It was.
Longfellow's "Bridge."
"Yes I will sing it," she said; and
again there fell a hush of silence as
the sweet and well-trained voice fill-
-ed the room with its melody. De Vere
was fain to acknowledge that she
sunsungas well as she played.
When she had sung the last line
she looked up into his face.
"Will you play or sing something
stow while I rest?" she asked.
"I never knew how unfortunate 'I
was before in' having no talent for.
usic," he said, ruefully. "I should
like to you e
g y u so much, but I
have no more voice than a raven, Miss
West. I will call Lancaster. He can
sing like a, seraph,"
"Oh, pray don't!" she cried; but
he had already turned around.
"Lancaster,' he called, "won't you
come and sing something while Miss
West has a breathing -spell?"
He came forward at once. He
thought it would be very pleasant to
displace De Vere for a moment, 'to
stand by her side and watch liar ex-
quisite face and the glancing white
hands as• they moved over the shin=
ing pearl keys.
Pray do not rise," he said, bend-
ing over her, hurriedly; "I will sing,
but I shall want you to play my ac-
companiment,"
She bowed silently, and he select-
ed a piece of music and placed it be-
fore her. It was that beautiful song,
"My Queen."
"He is going to sing to Lady
Melee'. the girl said to herself, a lit-
tle disdainfully,her touch was
-firm and 'unfalbut ering as she struck
the chords while Lord Lancaster
sung.
De Vere did not like his friend's
selection much. He regretted that he
had asked him to sing.
"It sounds like lie was singing to

to him-

as -he watched the couple

wondered; andg n toward d her

he saw that .she was looking ver
cross over the top of her fan. Truth
to tell, she was very much in doubt
whether to appropriate, the song to
strong -enough to witness his friend's
happiness just yet. He felt that if
he remained he might betrayhis pas-
sion and be laughed at for his pains.
He sought safety from himself in ig-
nominious flight.
What was Lady Lancaster's dismay
next morning, when she arose to her
late breakfast, to find a note awaiting
her from that troublesome nephew.
She was in a great rage when she
read it. -She pushed back -her dainty,
untested repast, which had been serv-
ed in the,' privacy of her own room,
and rang her bell violently.
"Present my compliments to Lieu-
tenant De Vere, and ask him to come
to me for ten minutes," she said
sharply, to the servant who answered
the summons
He came immediately, full of won-
der at this abrupt summons, and
found her pacing up and down the
floor in a great rage which she did
not take any pains -to conceal.
I "Did you know of any reason Lord
Lancaster could have for going up
to LondUh this morning?" she asked
him, after they had gone through the
preliminaries of a hasty goodmorn-
lug
• "No," he replied, gazing ather
in surprise.
"Well, he has gone—did you know
that?" she demanded.
She was very thoughtful for an
instant. She seemed to be malting
up her mind.
"You must not say no;' he said
herself. ]tastily, "I assure you that Lady

"I thought.you were going to rest

reproachfully.
She glanced up with a smile at
Lord Lancaster. •
"So I was," she replied, lightly,
"but: Captain Lancaster wished me to.
play while he sung for Lady Adele,
So of course I could' not refuse.
Lancaster gazed into her face with
amazement. Was - she indeed so blind,
or did' she purposely slight the tri-
bute he had paid to 'her, and which ho
had believed she could' not fail to
understand? Angered and chagrin-
ed he bowed his thanks coldly, and
retired from the'piano, leaving a
fair field for his rival.
He went out. through the open
window and wandered into ', the.
grounds, driven from her presence' '.n
"Yes, I' heard from his groom that
he went at daylight this morning,"
he replied.
"Here is a note he left for me," she
said, angrily. "He says he has been
suddenly called away by urgent busi-
ness—may be detained -a week or
more, and wishes me to present ex-
cuses and regrets to you and the rest
of the company."
"I am very sorry lie had to go,"
said the lieutenant.
"But do you believe that he really
has business?" she inquired, peeve
ishly.
"Of course he had—or why should
he have gone?" inquired the -hand-
some young fellow, staring at her in
amazement.
"I don't know—but I have my
suspicions. I half believe that lie
has run away from me and Lady
Adele. If I were quite sure of it,
I'd have my revenge," she muttered,
irascibly.
"What an old shrew! I don't blame
Lancaster for running away. I'm
quite sure I should do so, too, if she
bullied me as she does Lancaster,"
said the young fellow to himself, but
aloud, he said, with an air of sur-
prise:
My dear Lady Lancaster, I am
sure you wrong my friend. Why
should he run away . from you, his
kind friend, and from the. beautiful
Lady Adele?"
"Ah, why? I have my suspicions,
Lieutenant De Vera, but I shall not
impart them to any one—at least not
yet. But he has behaved very badly,
going off like this. I do not know
how to make excuses for him, least
of all to Lady Adele. She was jealous
last night. I could see that. What
will she say now? Clive has been
playing fast and loose with me ever
since last fall. It cannot go on for-
ever•. I shall mke him understand
"Do not be too hard uponhim.
Give him time, Lady "Lncaster,, He
will 'not brook harshness, he will
break a tight rein and escape from
it. You should know that much of all
men's natures," said De Vere, plead-
ing for his friend.
"I have not been hard upon him. I
have been most patient; but his be-
havior is inexplicable," cried 'she. "I
have offered a wife and a fortune to
him—a beautiful, high -bred, high-
born wife, and a splendid fortune
Lady. Adela's beauty makes no im-
I
pression on him. He: is barely civil
to her. What is the matter with him,
Lieutenant De Vere? Is he going to'
be fool enough to fly in the face of
his own good fortune?"
'I hope not" said Lieutenant De
Vere, but he looked very anxious. He
remembered that "whom the gods
wish to destroy they first melee mad.
Lancaster was mad—mad with love
for the beautiful,pennilessAmerican
girl, Leonora a est. De Vera
had
suspected it all along,he was sure of
it now. That song last night had
opened his eyes. 'A pang of Bitter.,
futile jealousy shot through his
heart. He believed that his friend
was an_ unacknowledged rival. A
vague terror of the end rushed over
rim. Who would win, Lancaster or
himself ?.
Lady Lancaster came nearer to
hits—she looked anxiously at him
with her small, beadlike black eyes.
"You and Clive are intimate," she
said; "you ought to know a great
deal about him. Tell me what it is
that makes him so blind to his own
interests? Is there any one in the
way? Is there any woman in the
case ?"
"I am not in Lancaster's confidence
believe me, Lady Lancaster," he re-
plied. "If there be any woman in the
case, he has never told me so. Per-
haps you are making a mountain out
of a little mole -hill."
studied him attentively. She yI shall
find out nothing from you. I can see
that " she said.
"You will never learn anything
from me derogatory to his interests
-be sure' of that," he replied, loyal

my doing so, if your: aunt will per-
mit me. May I come?"
Leonora raised her eyes gravely to
his face.
"Yes, you may come; she answer-
ed, and then turned quickly away.
CHAPTER XXXV.
The impulses of mem in love are as
various as their natures. Where one
will linger around the fatal charmer
and hug his pain, another will fly
from
"The cruel madness of. love,
The honey of, poison -flowers, and all
the measureless ill."
Lancaster, being wise, chose the
latter part. He had an innate con-
viction that Leonora would accept
Lieutenant De Vera._, He did not feel
to his friend in spite of reawakened
jealousy.
"And your own wooing -how does
that prosper,?" she inquired, with
something like a sneer, abruptly
changing the subject.
He; flushed indignantly.
"You are pleased to jest on deli-
cate subjects, Lady Lancaster," he
said, stiffly.
"I beg your pardon" she answered,
quickly. "I slid not know you were
so sensitive, but I assure you that 1
-LAS a great interest in your love
affair.,,
"Thank you. I understand the ori
gin'of your•'inter•est," he 'answered,
with: a slight smile; and she winced
perceptibly: Sire did not want him
to know whither her suspicions tend''
ed. '
"I daresay you, think me a very
meddlesome old woman," she said,
abruptly; "but you have 'my best
wishes for a successful suit. Miss
West is . beautiful and accomplished,
and with your wealth you can have
no difficulty in lifting her to your
level." ,
"She is the most beautiful of wo-
men," he answered, forgetting his
momentary ill -humor in the pleasure
she awoke in him by her artful
praise of Leonora.
"And you will lose -no time in mak-
ing her your own? Delays are dan-
gerous," she said, with a subtle
meaning in her tone that made his
heart beat.
"I know that. But I am a coward;
I am almost afraid to ask her for the
boon I crave most upon earth,' he
said, giving her in those few words a
glimpse into his full heart.
"Pshaw! you are a coward," said.
my lady, laughing. "Where is the wo-
man who is going to refuse you with
your,face and fortune? You are a
prize in the matrimonial market."
"But I want to be accepted for my-
self, and not for bay fortune, Lady
Lancaster," he .answered, proudly,
and yet not without a sense of satis-
faction over these worldly advant-
ages of his. It was very pleasant to
be his own master, to be able to do
as he pleased, to ask no one's leave
to marry whom he wished.
Lady Lancaster laughed a very dis-
agreeable laugh.
"As I am such an old woman, you
will forgive me for telling you not to
be a fool Lieutenant Be Vere," she
said. "There are very few men who
are married for themselves alone in
these days, and, letme add, there are
very few who deserve it. The aver-
age woman looks out for money and
position now. Be sensible, and thank
your lucky stars that when you go to
court Miss West you can carry a for-
tune in your hand, as well as a
heart." .
"What a very disagreeable old wo-
man!" he said to himself, reddening
with vexation. "She is full of spleen
and venom. I must go out or I shall
be tempted to say something sharp
to .her."
He went, and as he was leaving, she
rued a last shot at him:
"Take my advice, and don't delay
the proposal, young man. Don't let
excessive modesty deter you. Re-
member that faint heart never won
fair lady."

Col. S. L. Barry, D.S.O..
Though the name of Colonel Barry
is not one with which the public are
very familiar, he occupies a position
of peculiar importance at headquar-
ters. He is the Prince of Wales'
Equerry at the front, to which posi-
tion he was appointed lately by
General French. An old and intimate
friend of the British Commander -in -
Chief, Colonel Barry served with the
10th Hussars in, the Boer War, when
he gained his D.S.O. He stands in
high favor with the "King, is very
well off, is as good a sportsman as he
is. a soldier', and is personally one of
the most popular members of the
general staff. The Prince has the
greatest regard for Iris Equerry, and
the friendship that exists between
them is of the peculiar kind that is
probably never -found except between

cleanses the surface of the ground,
and keeps dust laden with . germs
from flying about. Take -a lesson from
Nature, and freely, water the ground
outside your house in hot, dry wea-
ther, especially where the children
play. The dancing dust in a•shaft of
sunlight is deadly, but unless the
wind had swept it up it wouldn't be
there.
In a house there should be no dry
dusting and sweeping. The dust is
disturbed, and any germs it may
contain settle on food, or are breath-
ed in with the air. Wipe over furni-
ture with clamp cloths, therefore, and
scrub and wash the floors.

Selected Recipes.
Beray ,Eggs.—Fry some sausages.
Warm some tomato sauce, fresh or
preserved. Add a little meat juice.
Fry some eggs in butter, and ar-
range round the sausages with the
tomato sauce.
Souffle of Fish. -Take fish that
has been leftover from a meal, re-
move the bones, and cut it into small
pieces. Add an equal quantity of
uncooked marconi, and cook the whole
in salted water. Drain it, and add
one-half the quantity of grated Swiss
cheese; mix everything well, put the
whole in a baking dish, and small
pieces of butter, and cook it in the
oven. Serve it hot.
Orange Mint Salad.—Remove the
pulp from four large oranges by cut-
ting the fruit into halves, crosswise,
and using a spoon. Sprinkle it with
two tablespoonfuls of powdered su-
gar, and add two tablespoonfuls of
finely chopped, fresh mint leaves, and
one tablespoonful of lemon juice.
Chill it thoroughly, and serve it in
glpsses garnished with a sprig of
mint. If the oranges are very juicy,
it is well to pour off a portion of the
juice before serving.
Bachelor Buttons.—Cream together
one cupful of sugar and one-half of
a cupful of butter add one egg and
beat the mixture; then add one cups
fun of bread flour with a pinch of salt,
and three tablespoonfuls of almonds
chopped fine, and mix the ingredients
thoroughly. Drop the ,batter by tea-
spoonfuls on a buttered, making tin,
and spread it in the form of buttons,
being,careful not to have the dough
any' thinner on the edges than in the
middle. Place one-half of a nut on
top of each button, and bake them in
a moderate oven.:
Cauliflower Pudding.—Break a
cauliflower into sprigs, and soak it in
cold salted water for half an hour;
then drain it. Cover the mixture
with sweet milk and boil it until it
is tender. Drain it, add one-half of
a cupful of thick, sweet cream, the
well -beaten yolks of four, eggs, one-
half of a teaspoonful of salt, a pinch
of ground mace, a dash of Cayenne,
two tablespoonfuls of soft butter, and
the juice of one-half of a lemon. Mix
everything well, pour the whole into
a buttered pudding dish, .and bake it
in a slow oven until it is firm.
Pineapple Wax. — Pineapple wax
is especially delicious on ice cream
or other frozen desserts. The receipt
is as follows: Pare a fresh pineapple,
and cut it into cubes of uniform size.
Put them into a steamer, and steam
them until they are tender (until the
cubes look clear). The juice that
results isnot used, because it is too
strong, but it may be of use in flavor-
ing other fruits. It should • not be
wasted, for it has a very strong pine-
apple flavor. When the cubes are
done, make a thick syrup of water!
and sugar, and, when it boils, drop in
the cubes, and cook them until they
again look clear. It makes, a preserve
a little stiffer than a marmalade, and
when it is poured over a frozen des-
sert, it becomes a wax that is very
delectable.
Muffins.—This repelpt .was. intro-
duced to a certain household by a ser-
vant from Hungary. In Hungary,
she explained, she used salt pork, but
she found bacon better than pork. She
sifts 11/4 cupfuls of flour with 11/4
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a
teaspoonful of sugar and a half tea-
spoonful of salt. Then she adds a
beaten .egg, a teaspoonful of melted
butter and half a cupful of sweet
mike. After beating smooth she adds
half a cupful of bacon. The bacon is
first fried or broiled until crisp and
then chopped and measured. :The.
muffins are baked in hot muffin pans
until done and they are eaten with-
out butter. The bits of . bacon
throughout the, muffins give sufficient
flavor of the sort butter would supply.
The Banana.
The banana is the housekeeper's
main' dependence among fruits. It
supplies the table allthe year around,
Banana Float.—Place four ripe
bananas in a moderately hot oven
for 20 minutes. Remove the skins
and reduce the hot fruit to a pulp.
Have ready the well -beaten whites of
two eggs, and while the banana pulp
is hot, rapidly beat together, with two
teaspoons of sugar. When cold serve
with whipped cream. This is deli-
cious. '
Fried Bananas..—Peel : and slice
lengthwise in three parts. Have hot
lard deep enough to cover the slices.
Fry,a light brown, and, very carefully
lift, with a flat cooking Shovel, from
the fat to kitchen paper to drain a
few minutes: Lightly sprinkle with
sugar and, send to table hot,
Banana Fritters.—Peel two bana-
nas and slice in thin circles. Dip in
a batter made of one cup of sifted
flour, a rounded teaspoon of butter,
one tablespoon of sugar, a pinch of
salt, one egg and one -half cup of
sweet milk. Fry in hot lard. Serve
with this sauce: Beat the yolks of
two eggs with half cup of sugar. Add
two tablespoons of orange juice;
steam until smooth and thick. Then
add two well beaten whites of eggs,
dust slightly with grated nutmeg and
serve.
Banana Layer Cake.—Bake a white
cake batter in layer pans. Ice each
layer over the top with a thick coat
of icing and over that put a thick
layer of round banana slices. Place
the layers of cake one over the other
and ice the top and sides. It should
be eaten while fresh if in summer. In
very cold weather, the banana cake
will keep for a few days. The filling
needs no other flavoring than the
bananas.
Useful Table.
This table may help the young
housekeeper:
One teaspoonful of salt to one quart
of soup. '
One teaspoonful of salt to two
quarts of flour.
One teaspoonful of soda to one pint
of sour milk.
One teaspoonful of extract to one
plain loaf calve.
One scant cupful of liquid to two
full cupfuls of flour for bread.
One scant cupful of liquid to two
cups of flour for muffins.
One scant cupful of liquid to one
cupful of flour for batters.
One quart of water to each pound
of meat and bone for soup stock.
One-half cup of yeast or one-quar-
ter cake compressed yeast to one pint
liquid.
Fonr peppercorns, four cloves, one.
teaspoonful of mixed herbs for each
quart of water for soup stock.
Things Worth Knowing.
Vinegar heated to the boiling point
will soften paint brushes that have
become dry and hard.
When boiling a ham leave it in the
water in which it has been boiled un-
til it is quite cold. This will make
it juicy and tender.
One ounce of Epsom salts added to
a gallon of water makes an excellent
rinsing mixture for colored blouse's
and washing dresses.
When a hand embroidered blouse
begins to show wear and little holes
appear, simply buttonhole around the
tear or embroider a dot over the worn
place.
If you wish to prevent green vege-
tables from boiling over, drop a piece
of dripping the size of a walnut into
the centre of them, just as they com-
mence to boil.
If a glove splits at the thumb or
near a seam a sure and permanent
way to repair it is to buttonhole the
kid either side of the split, then sew
the buttonhole edges together.
In using butter with meat the first
thing to remember is that the butter
should not be burned. Burned fats
of any sort are exceedingly indiges-
tible and ruin the flavor of the meat.
In using a white sauce with meat,
which is a usual procedure with the
French cook, great care is taken to
have the white sauce thoroughly
cooked before it is added to the meat.
According to a manwho makes fly
paper, the resin used to make the
paper sticky is soluble en -easter oil,
and any article which has come in
contact with the fly paper can be
cleansed if the spot is soaked in it.
When making a steamed pudding
put a piece of well greased paper over
the top before tying the cloth. This
will prevent the cloths from becoming
greasy, and they are no trouble to
wash.
'To keep ferns fresh and green all
the year round get a large tub, and

"Boy, First Class."
Courage and constancy are quali-
ties that appeal to everyone, irre-
spective of nationality. Fortunately
they are not rare, even in boyhood.
This war has revealed many boy
heroes. One of the bravest is a lad
of seventeen, an enlisted "boy" in
the British navy. Acting on the re-
commendation of the Board of Ad-
miralty, the King has conferred on
him a decoration that men have died
to win—the Distinguished Service
Medal. •
R. G. Ii. Bamford, "boy, first class,"
of the battle cruiser Tiger, won this
honor during the naval engagement
off the Dogger Bank on Sunday,
January 24th.
Soon after the battle opened that
forenoon, the glassesofthe sighting
apparatus of the Tiger's barbette, in
which are mounted two 13.5 -inch
guns, became obscured with smoke
and grime. The lieutenant in charge
called for a volunteer to clean the
glasses. Bamford stepped forward,
and the next second he was outside
and polishing away at the glass.
The gun crews, in their delight at
getting sight of their antagonists
again, at once began to fire, and in
the excitement everyone forgot about
the youngster.
Anyone who has been within even
a few miles of great guns while they
are being fired can' form a slight idea
of the nerve-racking, ear-splitting
concussions that burst out round the
lad. But besides that, the Tiger was
under heavy fire from the German
ships, and Bamford was the only
member of her crew who was not be-
hind thick armor.
When, toward the end of the fight,
some one remembered him, he was
found on the barbette top—deafened
and somewhat dazed, but still wiping
the glasses of the sighting apparatus.
To use his own language, he had
"jist stuck it." But he had only done
his duty, no doubt. No one will
grudge him the decoration that he
now wears proudly on the breast of
his canvas jumper.
Exhausting For Everyone.
A case in which Sir Edward Clarice,
the eminent barrister, was employed
carne up for a hearing late in the
afternoon, says the Tatler, and Sir
Edward asked the judge to allow it
to stand overuntil the following day.
"I have been speaking all day in
another court," he said, "and I am
rather exhausted.
His request was granted.
Tire clerk called the next case, and
immediately a young barrister rose
who, for some reason of his own, did
not want the case to lie tried at that
time. He also requested that his
case might be postponed.
"Why?" asked the judge coldly.
"May it please your lordship," the
barrister' replied, "I,too, am in a
state of exhaustion, for I have been
listening the• whole day to Sir Ed-
ward Clarke."
