"Behold the new but uncrowned Queen of the Underworld,"said Phil Kelly, the famous detecive, as he stripped from the 'girlish figure, seat- ed in the big arm chair, the cloak that covered her head and shoulders. Kelly's assistants looked on in ad- miration. Loosely bound blond curls covered the girl's head, and n purple mask hid the upper part of her face when Kelly threw :tilde the 'cl'oak. Under the mask the girl's mouth was radiant in a broad smile. She sat quite still and Unresistingly permitted Kelly to strip the disguise from her face, "Fooled—and by a women!" Kelly exclaimed at the face smiling at him. "Who are you? Tell inc your name?"' demanded the Sphinx in angry tones. "I'm the4Queen of the Sewer," said the girl as she burst. into outright laughter. Kelly stood, for a moment contemplating the highly amused young woman and then opened the door. "You may go—and go quickly," he commanded. Meanwhile ' Patricia, safely home from her adventure at the Cafe Chat Noir, was consulting with Jacques, in her boudoir. Her'ebie£ assistant was all interest and attention. "We must act, fast, as Kelly now suspects me of almost everything. The picture must lie, disposed of, and we. must plan some more raids. To -mor- row I will go to old Jakobski and get the lay of the land, and then you will take the Mona Lisa to him and make the sale." She was one of a dozen young men and women who waited for an inter- view with Jakobski, early the next af- ternoon. ' Jakobski drove many a crooked deal •in his sumptuously furnished- offices. Besides trafficking in stocks and bonds, making investments or buying mortgages, he macre great profit in purchasing the works of art students, marking them with fraudulent signa- tures and selling the counterfeit can- vases .to art collectors for fabulous sums - While Pat waited in the reception room, one . young man emerged from Jakobski's office who especially at- tracted Pat's sympathetic interest. He was gazing dejectedly upon a few francs Jakobski'had put in his hand as payment for a painting he had bar- gained for. "You seem to be disappointed," Pat ventured to say to the young artist. "Disappointed, miss? Why, that don't half express it: This old miser makes a million per cent profit out of the work we poor devils are compelled to sell him, and treats us like dogs besides." - "Perhaps I can help you, if you will confide in me," said the girl in her sWeetest tones. For some time they chatted freely in Jakobski's reception room. "Here I have only a few francs for my hard work—and I need money to fulfill my ambition. I want td•paint a picture for the Academy of Arts, and I have no money to buy materials, let alone pay for the services of a model." "Don't be so discouraged, my boy," Pat said consolingly. "I believe I can fut•,nish the money to buy the mate- rials for your painting, perhaps I can advance your expenses and—well, we shall see about the model." Pat's interview with Jakobski was brief, while the' old rogue was affabil- ity personified. "I am sorry that I must foreclose on the Orphan, Asylum your aunt is so interested in," said Jalcobslci, during his brief conversation with Pat, "but I ani in need of funds, and must real- ize on my mortgage and must sell :the property," Having terminated her call upon Jakobski, and before giving herself time to rseonside• her sudden deter- mination, Pat hailed a cab and was driven at once to the studio of the young artist who had so strongly im- pressed her with his necessity for aid and—a model. Paul Duvelle's joy knew no bound when Pat, so promptly keeping her promise, entered his studio. "You shall have 'your model," Pat quietly said, as she approached Du- delle;-radient in:her beaety, "That is you -shall 1 have n model—if I wil� sive.".. ' ; "Ola, in, 'darling luck;" exclaimed the ;youngpainter in ecstasy. "If you are agreed we will begin • our.bittlegs 'tit once," she continued, Theyworked hard, Pat and Duvolle, to finish the pleture--for• there was none too 'much time to have the can- vas' really for the..Aeademy. "The prize is mine," Duvelle would exclaim, as he contemplated his can- vas, ATiset the canvas was flniched, and Pat's trying and; tiresome ordeal Was 't an end.

Quietly stepping to the edge of the balcony she readily heard Jakob - ski as he said: "It means a fortune to you gentle- men, if the picture I have spoken to you about should get the prize. You have the right to do It, and you will be liberally rewarded." "But the public has selected 'The Purple Mask as favorite," said one of the men' who Pat knew to be .the chairman of the committee of judges. "How can we snake 'The Dawn of Liberty' win the capital prize with popular opinion against us." : • "You decide, that's all. What you say will be final—and you will be in- dividually rich all the rest of your lives. Don't that mean more to you than public opinion?" urged the crafty Jakobski, "We are taking a great risk, but the money should pay for loss of pub- lic respect," said another member of the committee. "1 for one am in fav- , Or. The rest of the conversation was lost to Pat, as Jakobski and the com- mittee moved away. "They shall not rob us of the prize," she declared stamping her pretty foot in excess of hier wrath. And that evening Jacqubs and Pat wero hidden away, An safe seclusion, when the doors of the Academy closed. The prize was to be announced the next morning, when the public would be admitted to await the decision. Groping their way through the dark- ness, after the watchman had gone to another section of the display, pat' and Jacques soon arrived at the spot where "The Dawn of Liberty" hung behind the heavy curtains. Only a few feet away "The Purple Mask" was similar- ly secluded behind thick drapes. (To be continued.) THE KAISER'S WIFE. Why Does Not the German Empress , Protest Against Brutalities? • "The Kaiserin, so far as is known, has raised' no womanly, wifely, Mo- therly voice in protest against the horrors in Belgium nor the recent greater horrors in Northern France," says Auguste Rodin, the famous French sculptor. "I am sure I ex- press the unexpressed collective thought of the women of the allied nations when I say they must vision the silent attitude of the German Em- press with loathing, in the light of that which has occurred in Belgium and evacuated territory in northern France. For this imperial wife of an imperial monster has raised no dis- senting voice against the horrors I have mentioned, As a wife, as a mo- ther, what can be her thoughts? She is represented as imbued with Chris- tian sentiments, a zealous and fervent Christian who, according to reports, prays earnestly to the Almighty in favor of her country and her people. If so, what must pass through her mind at the treatment of French wives and mothers of the Somme department by the 'soldiers' who serve her hus- band and whose acts of violence and vandalism ,are publicly procloimed by him as 'glories to the arms of Ger- many'? • "As •wives and guardians of the sacredness of homes, the women of the Allies must have collectively classified the German -Empress in the same category all men to -day classify her Imperial husband. "How can she, mother - and grand- mother, have remained silent at the tearing away from their mothers and grandmothers, of more than 400 young French women to serve as slaves, or for unmentionable purposes, to the uniformed officer barbarians of the German army? "No French woman, were her hus- band the Emperor of all Asia, would have remained silent under like cir- cumstance, and thus given tacit ap- proval to the practices of her Attila - like husband and his Attila -like fol- lowers, who disgrace civilization."

Sagacity of Former Foe of England Foiled Germans In South Africa. Among the Britishers of to -day who are earning the right to be classed as possessing the imperial mind, no one has come to the front more rapidly the last half year than -Gen. Jan Chris- tian Smuts, Minister of Defence of the Union of Mouth Africa, and at pree- Sout e of the b r eentativ nt the e e representative African commonwealth in the imperial conference in London, The following is a' very brief epitome of the record of the man, whb is now barely 47 years old, has the bet- terart of his career ahead of him, p and begins to be regarded as one of the coming figures of the empire and, indeed, of the world. Born in Johannesburg in 1870. Educated in South Africa and at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he made a really distinguished scholastic record and earned the highest honors. Practised law with eminent success in South Africa. Wrote extensively on a variety of public questions. Entered politics as a young man, and was an unfailing supporter of the Boer cause when the South African war broke out. Loyal British Imperialist. Rose to distinction as one of the military figures in that struggle, and to more distinction as one of the first men to recognize, after the Boer cause had been lost, that destiny and com- mon sense summoned the real intelli- gence of the Dutch States to accept the situation and to become the right kind of citizens of the British Empire. Was one of the leading figures in framing..the new scheme of govern- ment for the Union of South Africa, under which within .a few years after the Boers had been conquered Great Britain turned over to then,, as the citizens of a British dominion, the complete control of their own affairs. Became in the government of Presi- dent Botha of the South Africa Union the right hand of the President in the direction of domestic affairs. Foiled German Intrigue. At the beginning of the present war immediately took a leading part in making certain that the South African nation should not fall into the trap which the Germans thought had been set for it and, revolt against its al- legiance to the British Empire.

Battle for Freedom, South Attica at the beginning of the war; • These men realize that British inatitutipns, though indeed forced up- on diem unwillingly, had been really. a blessing. In truth there are no more loyal British imperialiets in the em- pire •now,than these men of South Africa, who fought under Kruger and Botha in the South African war. They were won in the mldtit of.tho bitter - nese of their defeat;by the generos- ity which heeded their country back to them and gave them a measure of freedom and of real control and op- portunity that they had never enjoyed and could not have hoped for under the narrow and almost despotic reign of Kruger an his burghers.'• THE FUTURII .OF FLYING. Trips`in Aeroplanes Will at no Distant. Future Become Popular. Mr. Orville Wright, the American expert, predicts that the aeroplane will play a great p art in the new or- der of things that will follow the war. He believes that it will be in great de- mand whenever it is necessary to tra- vel at great speed. By aeroplane it will be possible to go from New York to Chicago in eight or hours in- stead of in twenty, as at present; and to San Francisco in two days. Further- more, it will be useful in transporting small packages and very valuable freight to remote regions that the rail- way cannot reach. There are thou- sands of such places in the West, in -Alaska, in South America and in Africa. Mr. Wright thinks, too, that flying will become a popular sport, the greatest yet devised. He says: "It is far more exhilarating and delight- ful than the automobile for high speed, and far eater. The time is not far distant when people will take their holiday spins in their aeroplanes precisely as they do 'now in their au- tomobiles. Long tours in the air will offer greater relaxation from the daily grind than - long railway journeys. People need only 'recover from the foolish impression that it .is a danger- ous sport, instead of being, when adopted by rational persons, one of the safest. It is else far more com- fortable. The driver of an automo- bile, even under the most favorable circumstances, lives at a constant nerve tension. He most keep always on the lookout for obstructions in the road, for other automobiles, and for sudden emergencies. A., long, :drive • is therefore likely to be, an exratesting operation. Now, theaeroplane has a great future for ap6ftlaig,,prirposes, because this element egitrve,tension is absent. The driverasitgys the pro- ceeding as much as his passengers, and probably more. He can make mis- takes, even lapse in his attention, without any serious consequences. Winds no longer terrorize the airman. Newspaper readers will remember that, ten years ago, my brother and I carefully selected the days in which we made our flights. Some days, when there was too much wind, we would tot fly at all. But we have learned now to fly, and even strong gales do not now frighten the flyer. He goes up at any time except in the very bad days. The only wind conditions that deter him now are the kind known as 'cyclonic; when there are great twists in the atmosphere. Under these cir- cumstances he does not fly." Defence and as such directed the cam- paign in which the German colonies were seized by the South African forces. Sent to London as one of South Africa's representative for the pur- pose of imperial consideration of im- perial problems presented by the war. Smuts is one of the men who have had time in spite of the stress of war to shadow forth an outline of the vast sequences of this era. It is a vision of what the British -Empire and the reunion of the Anglo-Saxon races means to the world. Democracy vis. Autocracy. "This," said Gen. Smuts in. one of his recent speeches, "is the battle of free- men against bondmen. Before the war it was bruited abroad that this nation had become corrupted by wealth that it was growing soft and that the day of trial would find it wanting; but when the blow fell it showed what freemen could do, It showed what a free natien could du when it was fed on the stuff of free- dom. To -day it had become the fin- ancial, the moral and, in a sense, the military mainstay of the Allies. "Looking at this nation as it stands before the world to -day," ho continu- ed, "I feel that liberty, like wisdom, is once more justified of her children. The great British commonwealth of nations overseas did not always want this bloodshed and the terror of milt tarism always over shadowing them, They wanted to bend all their energies and resources to the building up of their nations, -end that could not be done when they had to be prepared to meet the enemy at every pojllt, Slow- ly but surely America has come to realize that this struggle was the old "In my day and in my country," ad- ded Gen, Smuts, "I have seen freedom go uhder, but I have seen it rise again. ('have seen that small people of mifie, a beaten people, rise again and fight- ing for the same 'freedom again, but iiow no longer for themselves but for the whole of the rest 0 the world, and the record of their efforts you will find written all over Africa south of the equator," This is the sort of appeal that Smuts and mon of hie mind made in struggle .for which shehad fought hi fo•Mer ware, This was onto more George Washington :against Georg IIT, In other words, the leen of • MILITARY PUNISHMENT. Old Martial Laws Not Adaptable to Changed Conditions. • The changed conditions of warfare have developed situations to which old martial laws are not adaptable. Under the old system the suspen- sion of sentence for first offences was not obligatory, but was simply a mat- ter of discretion on the part of the general commanding. Amendments passed by Parliament in the course of the present war make such extensions of sentence obligatory for alit canes. Nearly two-thirds of the court- martials at the front and immediately behind the front have developed from either drunkenness on'fear, sometimes from both, according to Monsidur Rene de Planhel, who has had more than two years' experience as counsel for the defence of soldiers. • Cases of desertion with downright fear as the cause are occasionally re- ported, and very few soldiers are to- tally exempt from fear. Mon who have fought bravely in numerous ac- tions, Mon. de Planhol says, finally give way to what;is called "nerve wear"; their moral curage is no long- er sufficient to overcome physical fear, and they run away from danger. Their number, though, is small in compari- son with those who forget their duty in the stupefaction of excessive drink- ing. Even these, considering the mil- lion of amenmobilised, are so small a percentage asto constitute no re- flection of the army as a whole. A frequent and ,effective means of defence invoked by counsel for accus- ed soldiers is the citation of gallant conduct on the battlefield. It often happens that a soldier refractory to army discipline is a great fighter, and between court inartials accumulates honors and decorations that it is diffi- cult to ignore: When much disputed point is: When ;las an infraction of discipline or a crime been committed "in the presence of the enemy" an aggravating circum- stance under military jurisprudence? In trench warfare the old definitions of "presence of the enemy" have become obsolete; greats latitucic is now given for lenioney oaf this point, and it is exercised in all but the most flagrant A pen recently 'patented is double jointietl, en that ;t can be used ei1he as a.fine-pointed or stub pee.

The early spring vegetables have many desirable qualities. `whey come to us in the spring, after the winter season of heavy eating. Of these vegetables, asparagus is particularly good. It it diuretic in its properties., its mineral salts ase of a solvent na- hire; It ,liar a decided' beneficial re- sult in its action upon the liver, kid- neys and bile. Because it carries many of the rich mineral elements one may eat it freely, knowing that it will removemanyimpurities from m the s p body. Scrape the stalks or brusli them well with a Stiff vegetable brush. Wash well, shaking them, especially the tips, in plenty of water to remove the sand. Careless preparation will detract from this delicious green. Trim and shape, then tie the as- parague in small bundles. Cover with boiling water and cook until tender. Remove from water, drain well and then serve them in any manner, desir- ed, Epicurean Asparagus. ^•Prepare, cook and drain the asparagus. Serve on a thin slice of toast with butter sauce prepared as follows: One ounce butter, one teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful white pepper, one tea- spoonful vinegar. Melt the butter, add salt, pepper and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then pour it over the asparagus. Asparagus may be steamed or boil- ed, well drained and served with eith- er cream, Hollandaise or Bernaise sauce. Asparagus and Macaroni.—Cook one cupful of macaroni in boiling water for twenty minutes. Drain and blanch by pouring over the macaroni plenty of cold water. Drain, chop fine and add: One teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful paprika, one cup heavy cream sauce. Mix thoroughly and pack in a well greased mold. After greasing the mold, sprinkle with fine bread crumbs before filling. Bake in a moderate oven for thirty minutes. Serve with Mousseline sauce. . Moussoline Sauce.—Two tablespoon- fuls butter, two tablespoonfuls, flour, one and one-half cups' asparagus wa- ter, yolk of one egg, one teaspoonful salt, one-half teaspoonful white pep- per. Blend butter and flour, then add water and bring to the boiling point. Cook for three minutes, then take from fire and beat in yolk of egg and seasoning. De not throw out the water its which the asparagus is cooked. It contains many of the valuable soluble mineral salts, and it can be used for cream soups. Added to stock pots it can be made into sauces and gravies. in cookery, so dp not•waste any. Sour mills and buttermilk can bo Weed with soda in making hot breads, or sour milk can be turned easily into cottage cheese, cream cheese or clabber. Sour cream is a good shortening in making cakes and cookies and useful for salad dressings and gravies for meat, `• Soup Stock. Soup stock, is the meat cooked to a jelly, ready to use for making soups. The outside of the meat should be wiped with a perfectly clean wet cloth. Then chop the meat, and saw the bones into small pieces. Place half meat and half bone in a kettle of cold water, the proportian being one pound to one quart of water. Add season- ing, either spices or vegetables, or both. If only herbs and spices are used, the soup stock will keep longer. For such stock the following propor- tions may be used: -To each quart of water add -one even teaspoon of salt, half saltspoon of pepper (if desired), half saltspoon of celery seed, two whole, cloves, two allspice berries, four or five bay leaves, a little parsley, one teaspoon of mixed 'herbs; such as thyme, marjoram, summer savory and sage. If vegetables are used, they should be cut into small pieces, so as to be easily measured. For soup stock made with vegetables, the following proportions may be used: To each quart of water add one tablespoon of chopped carrot, turnip, celery and onions. The kettle should be covered and water should Simmer so that the stock may cook slowly for about three or four hours. It is better to make the stock the day before using it, if pos- sible. After cooking, allow to cool and remove fat. To clear soup stock, pour it into a saucepan, stir in the whites and brok- en shells of eggs—one for each quart of stock; boil for two or three min- utes, stirring contently, then set back on stove; keep it hot without simmer- ing for fifteen or twenty minutes; strain through a• fine sieve and then through cheesecloth. TRUE AND FALSE ECONOMY Here Are Some Instances That Are Well Worth Noting. f ems s There isstory, at whie1, a x h a ensile, of a thriftman who cooked his potatoes after laying the peel for sped. The peel, he reasoned, contain- ed the eyes, or buds. Plants ought td spring from thele and boar potatoes i their turn did, and the inS they ,Y potatoes reached ,the size of walnuts. Some newspapers have recommended a similar practice this year, when seed is expensive and everyone is making a garden; and it is true that with skill- ful cutting, 'abundant fertilizer and expert cultivation a very small part of the potato, if it contain' a bud, can bo made productive. But any attempt to cheat nature is bound to fail. Nowhere is the proverb, "Nothing spend, nothing have," better illustrat- ed than on a farm. The sprout should have a decent amount of nourishment from the substance of the parent seed if it is to make a vigorous growth. Tho principle thus illustr %c1 has a wide application. Lime, for example, is known to -have little worth strictly as a plant food. So some fermere and gardeners count it a waste of time to bother with it. They will feed their crops with true fertilizer and save both time and money. But a soil from which the lime has leached out and which has become sour is like a man with impaired digestion. It can- not assimilate the plant food spread upon it In sulh a way as to become productive. The lime corrects the acidity by a chemical process; so, in breaking up a fallqw field, in ,pla,nting ground so repeatedly cultivated that rain has washed out its lime, and particularly in making a lawn, few things pay better than a careful ex- amination into the acidity, of the soil. Wherever moss and sorrel grow lime is likely to be needed; and if a teat with litmus paper shows considerable acidity, true economy dictates.A- mediate treatment. Spraying for insects and fungi costs time and money. Trees get on and bear sono fruit without it. Potatoes ripen after a.fashion, although the leaves blacken with blight or are half eaten by beetles.. But potatoes thus given over•to their enemies refuse to return any profit to their planter. Un- sprayed trees unquestionably bear fruit; but the fruit', ceases to sell to advantage in "the, market or to keep in the cellar, and the tree itself fails to make adequate growth. You look at the tip of an apple bough and see the leaves of it curling under the attacks of the aphis. If you will take the trouble to kill the insects with a mild solution of nico- tine, you will soon see, the new growth start and will learn a lesson about the cost of such seemingly insignificant Tests that you will not easily forget. Pruning is so generally recognized to be good economy that little need be sail about it; but to thin our grow- ing plants properly requires more re- solution than the average amateur poseesses. It seems a sinful waste to pull up half your onions or to pick young fruit when it has set so thick and markets are so bare. • But it is good practice if the vegetables are too close to permit normal growth or there is more fruit than the tree can ripen without overstrain. This year, in particular, many young gardeners who look. with delight upon thei start of their beets, onions and turnips will be disappointed at harvest to discover 1{ow small and immature their vege- tables seem. The trouble will be that they have crowded and smothered one another. Thinning seems like waste, but it is real economy; and in such processes continued year after year the worker in the earth learns how just a judge between true and false our Mother Nature is. Boning Ham. Have you, ever noticed how hard a ham is to carve with the bone in 'it how the slices are spoiled, and how much meat is really wasted? j That can easily be avoided. if ,you are sure to cook the joint thoroughly and while it is. hot take the bones out. It it not so hard as it sounds. There is' only one bone with which you will' have any trouble. Locate than bone with a fork from the under side, cut a slash through the meat until the bone is exposed, and with a little dexterous working of fork and knife the bone is out. I treat my shoulders in the sane way, and my friends can't tell whether they are eating shoulder or ham, the slices dut so well and tltc meat tastes so good.

When the Kaiser visited Jerusalem in 1898 he had the statue of himself in the guise of a Crusader reared upon the Mount of Olives. In that role he now finds himself called upon to re- sist the efforts of the Turks to expel the Jews ,from the sacred city. It is given out that the German Govern menta ever tenderly solicitous for the' fate of cathedrals and churches, is apprehensive lest the shrines of the Christian mecca may be desecrated and the Jewish sanctuaries, likewise defiled if the city .is left to the un- bridled Moslem. It is carious to find a Government that has ruined the hal- lowed fane of Rheims and maltreated the religious communities of Belgium so careful for the preservation of Jerusalem. Perhaps the true rea- son for this attitude is to be found in the remonstrance of the German of- ficers at Jaffa, who, when the Jewish farmers were about to be expelled from the vicinity, pointed out that the; Syrian army would suffer if those who provided its food supply were driven into the desert like the Armen -1 ians.
