"How nice of you to say so!" she
answered brightly. "But then per-

He laughed shortly.
"Nothing terrible, I should say,
Looks as though you've been making
a picture of my house; I don't mind
that."
She dived in her pocket and produc-
ed a card -case.
"I'll make full confession," she
said, frankly. "I'm a journalist."
"A what!" he repeated feebly.
"A journalist. I'm on the Hour.
This isn'tmy work as a rule; but the
man who should have come is ill, and

mei Don't look as though I were a
ghost, please. Haven't you ever heard
of a girl journalist before?"
"Never," he answered emphatically.
"I didn't know ladies did such
things!"
She laughed gaily but softly; and
Trent understood then what was
meant by the music of a woman's
voice.
"Oh, it's not at all an uncommon
thing," she answered him. "You
won't mind my interviewing you, will
you?"
"Doing what?" he asked blankly.
"Interviewing you! That's what
I've come for, you know; and we want
a little sketch of your house for the

He stood looking at her, a dazed
and bewildered man. From the trim
little hat, with its white band and
jaunty bunch of cornflowers, to the
well -shaped patent shoes, she was
neatly and daintily dressed. A jour-
nalist! He gazed once more into her
face, at the brown eyes watching him
now a little anxiously, the mouthwith
the humorous twitch at the corner of
her lips. The little wisps of hair
flashed again in the sunlight. It was
she! He had found hes

and continued a Iittle anxiously.
"I really won't ask you many ques-
tions, and it would do mequite a lot
of good to get an interview • with you.
Of course I oughtn't to have begun
this sketch without. permission. If
you mind that, I'll give it up."
He found his tongue awkwardly,
but vigorously.
"You can sketch just as long as
ever you please, and make what use
you like of it," he said. "It's only a
kit of a place though!"
"How nice of you! And the inter-
view?"
"I'll tell you whatever you want to

She could scarcely believe in . her

when she re-

"It is very good indeed of you, Mr.

quite nervous about coming, for I
had no idea that you would be so
kind. Shall I finish my sketch first,
and then perhaps you will be able to

"Just as you like,' he answered.
"May I look at it?"

"You are very clever," he said,
with a little sigh,
She laughed outright.
"People are calling you the clever-
est man in London to -day," she said.
"Pshawl Isn't it the cleverness
that counts for anything that makes
money."
Then he set his teeth hard together
and swore vigorously but silently.
She had become suddenly interested
in her work. A shrill burst of laugh-
ter from the lawn in front had rung
sharply out, startling them both. A
young woman with fluffy hair and in
a pale blue dinner dress was dancing
to an unseen audience. Trent's eyes
flashed with anger, and his cheeks
burned. The dance was a music -hall
one, and the gestures were not refin-
ed. Before he could stop himself an
oath had broken from his lips. After
that he dared not even glance at the
girl by his side.
"I'm very sorry," he muttered, "I'll
stopthat right away."
"ou mustn't disturb your friends.
on my account," she said quietly. -She
did not look up, but Trent felt keenly
the alteration in her manner.
"They're not my friends," he ex-
claimed passionately. "I'll clear them
out neck, and crop."'
She looked up for a moment sur-
prised at his sudden vehemence. ifhere
was no doubt about his being in earn-
est. She continued her work, with-
out looking at him, but her tone when
she spoke was more friendly.
"This will take me a little longer
than thought to finish properly," she
said. "I wonder might I come down
early to -morrow morning? What time
do you leave for the City?"
"Not until afternoon, at any rate,"
he said. "dome to -morrow, certain-
ly—whenever you like. You needn't
be afraid of that rabble. I'll see you
don't have to gonear them."
"You must please not make any dif-
ference or alter , your arrangements
on my account," she said. "I am quite
used to meeting. all sorts of people in
q'ey;profession, and I don't object to
it in' the least. Won't you go now?
I think that that was your dinner-
bell,"
He hesitated, obviously embarrassed
but determined.
"There is one question," he said,
"which I should very much like to
ask you. It will sound impertinent, I
don't mean it so. I can't explain .ex-
actly why I want to know, but I have
a reason."
"Ask it by all means," she said.
"I'll promise that I'll answer it if I
can."
"You say that you are—a journal-
ist. Have you taken it up for a pas-
time, or—to, earn money?"
"To earn money by all means," she
answered, laughing. "I like the work,
but I shouldn't care for it half so
much if I didn't make my living at
it. Did you think that I was an ama-
teur ?"
ma-teur?" -
"I didn't know," he answered slow-
ly. "Thank you. You will come to-
morrow?"
"Of course! Good evening."
"Good evening."'
Trent; lifted his hat,. and
turned
away unwillingly towads home full
of a sense that something wonderful
had happened to him. He was absent-
minded, but he stopped to pat a little
dog whose attention he usually.ignor-
ed, and he picked a creamy -white rose
as he crossed the lawn and wondered
why it should remind'him of her.
• CHAPTER X.
Trent's appearance upon the lawn
was greeted: with a shout of enthu-
siasm. The young lady in blue exe-
cuted a pas seul, and came across to
him on her toes, and the girl with the
yellow hair, although sulky, gave him
to understand by a sidelong glance
that her favor was not permanently
withdrawn. They neither of them no-
ticed the somewhat ominous air of
civility with which he received their
greetings, or the contempt in his
eyes as he looked them silently over.
"Where are the lost tribe?" he in-
quired, as the girls, one on either side,
escorted 'him to the house.,
They received his witticism with a
piercing shriek of laughter.
"Mamma -and her rag of a daugh-
ter are in, the drawing -room," "ex-
claimed Miss Montressor-the young
lady with fluffy hair who dressed in
blue and could dance. "Such a jeke,
General! They don't approve of us!
Mamma says that she will have to
take' her Julie away if we remain. We
are not, fit associates for her. Rich
isn't it! The old chap's. screwing up
his courage now with brandy and
soda to tell you so!"
Trent laughed heartily. The situa-
tion began to appeal to him. There
was humor in it which he alone could
appreciate.
Does he expect me to send you
away?" he asked.
"That's a cert!" Miss Montressor. af-
firmed. "The old woman's been play-
ing the respectable all day, turning
up the whites of her eyes at "me be-
cause I did a high kick in the hall, and
groaning'at Flossie because she had
a few brandies; ain't that so,
Flossie?"
The young lady with yellow hair:
confirmed the statement with much.
dignity.
I had a toothache," she said, "and
Mrs. Da Souza, or whatever the old
cat calls herself, was most rude. I
reckon myself as respectable ,as she
is any day, dragging that yellow -faced
daughter of hers about with her and.
throwing her at men's heads."
Miss Montressor who had stopped
to pick a flower, rejoined them.
"I say, General," she remarked,
"lair's fair, and a promise is a pro-
mise. We didn't come down here to
be made fools of by a fair old Jewess.
You won't send us away because of
the old wretch?"
"I promise," said Trent "that when
she goes you go, and not before. Is
that sufficient?"
"Right ho!" the young lady declar-
ed cheerfully. "Now you go and.
prink up for dinner. We're ready,
Flossie and T The little Jew girl's
got a new dress -blade, covered with
sequins. It makes her look yellower
thee ever. There goes ehe bell, and
we're both as hungry as hunters.
Look shaipt"
Trent entered the house. Da Souza
met him in the hall, sleek, curly, and
resplendent in a black dinner -suit.
The years had, dealt lightly with him,
or else the climate of England was
kinder to his yellow skin than the
moist heat of the Gold Coast. He
greeted Trent with a heartiness which
was partly tentative, partly boister-
ous.
"Back from the coining of the shek-
els, my dear friend," he exclaimed.
"Back from the spoiling of the Egyp-
tians, eh? How was money to -day?"
"An eighth easier," Trent answer-
ed ascending the stairs.
Da Souza fidgeted about with the
bannisters, and finally followed him.
"There was just a word," he re-
marked, "a little word I wanted with
you."
"Come and talk while I wash,".
Trent said shortly. "Dinner's on, and
I'm hungry."
"Certainly, certainly," Da Souza
murmured, closing the door behind
them as they entered the lavatory.
"It is concerning these young ladies."
"What! Miss. Montressor and her
friend?" Trent remarked, thrusting
his head into the cold water.
"Phew!"
"Exactly! Two very charming
young, ladies my dear friend, very
charming indeed, but a little—don't
you fancy, just a little fast!"
"Hadn't noticed it," Trent answer-
ed, drying himself. What about it?"
Da Souza tugged at his little black
imperial, and moved uneasily about.
` We—er—men of the world, my
dear Trent, we need not be so particu-
lar, eh ? but the ladies—the ladies
are so observant."
"What ladies?" Trent asked coolly.
"It is my wife who has been talking
to me," Da Souza continued. "You
see, Julie is so young—our dear
daughter she is but a child; and, as
my wife says, we cannot be too par-
ticular, too careful, eh; you under-
stand!"
"You want them to go? Is that
it?"
Da Souza spread out his hands—an
old trick,, only now the palms were.
white and the diamonds real.
"For myself," he declared. "I find
them charming. It is my wife who
says so to me, 'Hiram those young
persons, they are not fit company for
our dear, innocent Julie! You shall
speak to Mr. Trent. He will under-
stand!' Eh?"
Trent had finished his toilet and
stood, the hair -brushes still in his
hands, looking at Da Souza's anxious
face with a queer smile upon his
lips.
"Yes I understand, Da Souza," he
said. "Yes,
doubt you are right, you
cannot too be careful. You do well to
be particular!"
Da Souza winced. He was about to
speak, but Trent interrupted him.
"Well, I'll tell you this, and you can
let the missis know,my fond father.
They'll leave to -morrow. Is that good
enough?"
Da Souza cought at his host's hand,
but Trent snatched it away.
"My dear—my noble—''
"Here, shut up and don't paw me,"
Trent interrupted. "Mind, not a word
of this to any one but yourwife; the
girls don't know they're going them-
selves yet."
They entered the dining -room,
where every one else was already as-
sembled. Mrs. Da Souza, a Jewess,
portly and typical, resplendent in
black satin and many gold chains and
bangles, occupied the seat of- honor,
and by her side was a little brown
girl, with dark, timid eyes and dusky
complexion, pitiably over -dressed but
with a certam elf -like beauty, which
it was hard to believe that she could
ever have inherited. Miss Montressor
and her friend sat on either side of
their host—an arrangement which
Mrs. Da Souza lamented, but found
herself powerless to prevent, and her
husband took the vacant place. Din-
ner was served, and with the opening

"Very kind of your daughter,"
Trent answered, looking directly at.
her and rather inclined to pity her
obvious shyness. "Come, drink up
Da Souza, drink up, girls! I've had
a hard day, and I want to forget for
a bit that there's any such thing as

(To be continued.)
Positively Unbearable.
One of the wealthy members of a
fashionable church approached her
pastor with the complaint • that she
was greatly disturbed by one of her
neighbors. "It's positively unbear-
able!" said she. "That man in the
pew in front 'of me destroys all my
devotional and, pious feelings when
he attempts. to sing. Couldn't you
ask him to change his pew?" The
good pastor was sorely perplexed'A£-
ter a few moments' reflection he said:

Good Corn Recipes.
Boiled Corn.—Strip off coarser out-
er husks leaving the thin silky envel-
ope next the ear on the stalk. Pull
this down and pick off the silk from
between the grains, adjust the inner
husks in their place, tie together at
the top and drop the ears in plenty of.

the husks close to the bottom of the
ears and send to table wrapped about
with a napkin on a fit dish.

youwould griddle cakes.
Chopped Potatoes and Corn.—When
cold boiled potatoes and several ears
of boiled corn are left in the icebox,
chop the one into coarse dice and cut

frying pan a good spoonful of clan-
fled' dripping, sweet and good, and stir
into this the potatoes and corn, sea-
soning with salt and. pepper, Turn

beans are used, add half a teaspoon-
ful of white sugars

Things Worth Knowing.
Make starch with soapy water, add-
ing a pinch of borax.
A very hot iron should never be
used for flannels or woollens.
Soap should be substituted for soda
when washing silver and plated goods.
To skin sausages quickly and eas-
ily immerse
as-ilyimmerse them for a second or two
in cold water.
New brick floors should be washed
with. soda water, and when dry rub-
bed with parefin.
Don't black a stove while it . is hot.
It' takes more blacklead, and a much
longer time to polish.
When boiling potatoes do not add
salt till they are nearly cooked. This
makes them dry and floury.
Borax for washing plates and
dishes is to be preferred to soda, as
it does not crack the skin of the:
hands.
The fact that an article is advertis-
ed in a respectable newspaper should
prove it worth buying by somebody.
Should any foreign matter alight
in the eye immediately apply one or
two drops of castor oil; it will almost
at once allay the irritation.
Grass stains will disappear if coal
oil is poured on them, then rub with
the hands and wash same as you al-
ways do. Lard rubbed in well before.
goods are wet will remove axle grease
or machine grease:
To separate the yolk of an egg
from the white make a hole in both
ends of the egg. Then hold it up-
right, giving it a gentle shake, and
the white will run out, leaving the
yolk unbroken in the shell.
If when sending or taking a hat
by train it is secured to the bottom of
the box by a few strong stitches of
thread the most delicate hat will not
be crushed, as no matter how the box
is turned about the hat will not move.
It is always wise to boil a new
clothesline before using it, as this
not only prevents it from stretching
but makes it last much longer. ' New.
pegs should be soaked in cold water
for a few hours, as this keeps them
front splitting.
Very often when making a pie the
juice from the fruit soaks through the.
undercrust and spoils the whole ap-
pearance of it. To prevent this try
brushing the crust over with the white
of an egg, and you will never be
troubled in this way.
When -your vegetables becomewilt-
ed and stale before you have an op-
portunity to use them place them for
an hour or so in a gallon of water to
which a teaspoonful of soda has been
added. They will then be just as
crisp .and freshas when gathered'
from the garden.

LONDON'S BISHOP
SURE OF HIS DUTY
HE HAS WORI{ED TO STRENGTH-
EN THE ARMY.
Says It Is a Mistake to Lay Aside
Entirely the Old Testament
Virtues.
Just as London was discussing the
Pope's position of neutrality I found
myself in the study of the Bishop of
London, who quite plainly did not
think he hadto live up to the dualism
of a division in the temporal and Bpi-
ritual power, writes Mr. Richard
Payne. Should the Church be neu-
tral in time of war? Is it making a
compromise in the support of this
war? "Thou shalt not kill." How
can the Church compromise with the
commandment?
"One can," said the Bishop, for he
was a good logician. "Of course,` war
is wholly inconsistent with Christian
principles, but meanwhile the Chris-
tian has to make the choice of the
second best. Because our Lord said
at a particular moment that his ser-
vants were not to .fight, He could not
mean that they were to see their wo-
men and children treated as the Bel-
gian woman and children have been
and do nothing."
So it is necessary for the Bishop,
to represent God alone, like the Pope.
Ile can also represent the nation,
and, fortunately for the Bishop, when
that nation believes it has a Christian
cause.
There was a cloistered hush about
the room we sat in•. The Bishop's
kindly face seemed incongruous with
the picture I drew of him, dressed in
khaki as he was last summer, speak -

ing to the men in the camps from wa-
gons. "For if the cause was hold,
then the duty of the Church is not
only to mobilize the spiritual re-
sources of the nation, but to give the
clear call to unity and service."
Donned the Khaki.
The Bishop went to recruit. A
"battling bishop"? No; not a bit of
it -a gentle churchman turned logi-
cian.
"It is an utter mistake," he says,
"to suppose that the Old Testament
virtues are to be 'laid aside because
the New Testament supplements
them by humility and self -suffering
and personal weakness. No; courage,
flawless, undying courage, is the spe-
cial characteristic of the Christian
soldier as it was the special charac-
teristic of Christ himself." And so
he girded himself to rouse his fellow
countrymen and to stimulate himself
to 'play the manin this great "Day
of God."
And so, this being a Day of the
Lord, the good bishop donned his
khaki as a chaplain of the army and
went to hearten the men in the fields.
Then strangely the bishop asks
himself the question: "But can a
fierceand bloody war ever conduce to

And he answers himself t "Yes, but

What if, the ideas which have made

and forever killed?. Wl1at if the gos-
pel is, shown to be a sham? What if

War for Peace.
What if the churches that believe
in the Incarnation of the Son of God
are drawn together in a way in which
they have never been before and fused
into a united missionary Church? •
"But what if. France shall perma-
nently be stirred to see what she' was
casting away in her Church? What
if the English and French churches
should learn great truths from one
another? What if the Russian
Church should be touched with that
missionary zeal which it only needs
to make it one of . the greatest.
churches in the world? What if the
-
great German people shall gain.
through pain and suffering a new
faith ?,"
"We are fighting," says the Bishop,
"for the holiest things ever intrusted
to the care of man—the freedom of
our country, the honor of our women,
the right to live for the smaller na-
tions, international honor, as the con-
dition of the future brotherhood of
nations, and the Christian principles
which are to govern the future of the
world.

Stood for East Fife.
At the City of London School Pre-
mier Asquith is best remembered as a
quiet, studious' boy who did not care
for games, but preferred to spend his
dinner hour reading the Times. It
was the master of Balliol who re-
marked, "Asquith will get on, he is so
direct." And after a brilliant career
at that college, Mr. Asquith was call-
ed to the bar in 1876, and became a
Q.C. in 1890. Four years previously
he had entered • Parliament as M.P.
for East Fife, Scotland, which he has
always represented since.
It is a fact not generally known,
by the way, that both Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain and Mr. Gladstone were
so impressed by Mr. Asquith's abili-
ties that he was offered 16 different
seats before he finally accepted the
invitation to stand for East Fife.
AIthough in public life somewhat
cold and austere, Mr, Asquith in pri-
vate life is the most genial of men.
Like Mrs. Asquith, whom he married
in 1894, his first wife having died
three years previously, the Premier
seeks relaxation in golf. He has two
daughters—the elder of whom, It/ties
Violet Asquith, has just become en-
gaged to Mr. Mauride Bonham -Carter,
Mr. Asquith's private secretary -and
five sons, four of whom are serving
their country in the great war.
