A passing jitney is dem- aged and Bess Gilbert, a shopgerl, on her way home, is knocked to the pave- unent. Ned promises a policeman that he will settle with all injured. parties. The young Indy is taken hone in Cornet's car. Ned tells his father of the accident, Godfrey Cornet reminds Psis son that in his 29 years he has never done a roan -size job. The elder Cornet offers Ned two thousand silk and velvet gowns to take to Northern Canada anAlaska to exchange with the Indians far fine furs, Godfrey offers ,to split the pro- fits 75-25, the lion's share to Ned. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Almost trembling in his eagerness, the old man waited for his son's reply. the latter took out a eigaret, lighted it, and gazed meditatively through the smoke. "Fifty thousand!" he whis- pered greedily. "And I suppose I could stand the hardship." Then he looked up, faintly smiling. •' I'll go, if Lenore will let ate," he pronounced at last. III. The exact moment that her name NAB on Ned's lips, Lenore Harden - worth herself, in her apartments in a region of fashionable apartments eight Mocks from the Cornet home, was also wondering at the perverse ways of !parents. It was strange how their irelflsh interests could disarrange one's happiest plans. All in all, Lenore was Ina wretched mood, savagely angry at the world in general and her mother in particular. It was the way of the old, Lenore reflected, to give too much of their thought and interest to their own fan - pied ills. Not even a daughter's bril- liant career could stand between. And *ho would have guessed that the Nervousness" her mother had com- plained of so long, pandered to by a fashionable quack and nursed like a baby by the woman herself, should ever lead to such disquieting results. the doctor had recommended a sea voyage to the woman, and the old fool had taken him at his word, It was not that Lenore felt she could `,lot spare, for some months, her faother's guiding influence. It was enerely that sea voyages cost money, 'and money, at that particular time, was scarce and growing scarcer about the Hardenworth apartment. Seeming- ly the only course that remained was rte move forward the date of her mar- riage to Ned, at present set for the )following spring.

In 019909 ISSUE No. 22—'29 nose; and for all the late storm made a bewitching picture as she tripped to the door in answer to her fiance's knock, Lenore Hardenworth was in all probability the most beautiful girl in her own stylish set and one of the most handsome women In her native city. She was really well known, remembered long and in many places, ,for her hair, It was simply shimmer- ing gold, and it framed a faceof flowerlike beauty—en even -featured, oval faee, softly tinted and daintily piquant. Ned came in soberly, kissed the girl's inviting lips, then sat beside her on the big divan. Studying his grave face, she waited for hint to speak. "Bad news," he said at last. "What is it?" she' spoke almost breathlessly, and he turned toward her with awakened interest. "Nothing very important," he told her casually. "I'm afraid I startled you with my lugubrious tones. I've ogt to go away for three months." • "Ned! You can't! After all our plans. I won't hear of it—" "Wait, dearest!" the man pleaded. "Of course I won't go if you say not—" "0f course I say not—" "But it's a real opportunity—to make forty or fifty thousand. Wait till I tell you about it, anyway." He told• her simply: the exact plant that his father had proposed. Her interest quickened as he talked.

Why not take mother and nee with you?„ "My dealt--" "Why not? Toll mo that! Tho doe. tor has just recommended her; a sea trip. Where could she get a better one? Of course you'd have to get a big, comfortable launch--" "Take you -'I should say I will take you—and your mother, too," he was exclaiming with the utmost enthusi- asm and delight, "Lenore, it will be a regular party—a joy ride Such as wo never took before." IV, Ned planned to rise early, but sleep was 'heavy upon him when he tried to waken. It was after ten when he had finished breakfast and was ready to begin active preparations for the ex- cursion. His first work, of course, was to see about hiring a launch, ,. Ten minutes' laic took him to the office of his friend, Rex Nerd, vice- president of a great marine -outfitting establishment, and five minute's con- versation with this gentleman told hhn all he wanted to know. Yes, as it happened, Nard knew of a corking craft that was at that moment in need of a charterer, possibly just the thing that Cornet wanted, "This particular craft was built for a scientific expedition sent out by one of the great museums," Nard ex- plained. "It isn't just a fisherman's scot5. Sbe has a nifty galley and a snug little dining salon, and two foxy little staterooms for extra toney pas- sengers. Quite an up -stage little boat. Comfortable as any yacht you ever saw." "How about cargo space?" "I don't know exactly—but it was big enough for several tons of walrus and musk o:s skeletons, so it ought to suit you." "What do you think I could get her for?" "I don't think—I know. I was talk - ng to her owner yesterday noon. You can get her for ninety days .for five thousand dollars—seventy-five per for a shorter time. That includes the services of four men, licensed pilot, first and second engineer, and a nig- ger cook; and gas and oil for the motor." Ned stood up, his black eyes spark- ling with elation, and put on his hat. "Where do I find her?" "Hunt up Ole Knutsen, at this ad- dress." Nard wrote an instant on a strip of paper. "The name of the craft is the Charon." ��a m Ned drove to the designated address, found the owner of the craft, and executed a charter after ten minutes of conversation. Knutsen was a big, good-natured man with a goodly share of Norse blood that had paled his eyes and hair. Together they drew up the list of supplies. "Of course we might put hi some of dis stuff at nordern ports," Knutsen told him in the unmistakable accent of the Norse, "You'd save money, though, by getting it here." "'All except one item—last but not least," Ned assured him. "I've got to stop at Vancouver." "Canadian territory, eh—?" "Canadian whiskey. Six oases of imperial quarts. We'll be gone a long time, and a sailor needs his grog." There was really very little else for Ned to do. The silk'gowns and wraps that were to be his 'principal article of trade would not be received for a few days at least; and seemingly he had arranged for everything, He started leisurely back toward his father's office. But yes, there was one thing more His father had Said that his staff must include a fitter—a woman who could ply the needle and make minor altera- tions in the gowns. He knew where he could procure some one to do the fitting, Had not Bess Gilbert, when he had left her at the door the previous evening, told hini that she knew all manner of needle- craft? Her well -modelled, athletic, though slender form could endure such. hardships as the work involved; and she had the temperament exactly uncomplaining, needed: adventurous, unc n lof p g, courageous. He turned at once out Madison where Bess lived. She was at work at that hour, a gray, sweet-faced woman told him, but he was given directions where he might find her. Ten minutes later he was talking to the young lady her- self, ;.. • (To be continued,) , o , Betrayal - ..the heart is a traitor to that true t6.

"Why couldn't you take those with you and trade them to some old squaw for furs?" "I could! I don't see why I shouldn't bring you back some beauties." Her eyes were suddenly lustful. "I'd like sodic silver fox—and . enough sable for a great wrap, Oh, Ned —do you think you could get them for me?" His face seemed rather drawnarid mirthless as he returned her stare, It had been too .eonp]ete a victory. It canbe said for the man that he had come with the idea of persuading Lenore to let him go, to let him leave her arras for the sake of the advan- tages to be accrued from the expedi- tion, but at least he wanted her to show some regret. "Ned, what kind of a trip will this be?" she asked him. He was more held by the undertone of excitement in her voice than by the side??t?on itaelt. "What is i ji?" he asked. "What clo you reehn—?'

She paused and he stared at her Asparagus -- Fresh or Canned. Asparagus is a vegetable whisk no faxen should be without.

Nevertheless it is of value in the diet because of its min- eru'i salts and the appetite wllioh it helps to give for more hearty foods. The time fol' cooking varies with the age of the vegetable. If you raise Your . own asparagus and know it is young and tender, twenty minutes should be enough, If It Is older, it slio»Icl cook at least a• half hour. The best way of cooking le, to cut in uni- form lengths, snapping 'off with the fingers all the tough white ends, wash, and scale. Tia in bunches, head end up, and cook -standing on end in boil- ing water with the tips out of water. The tips are more tender than the stalk and the steam will cools them sufficiently while the ends are boil- ing. If the asparagus is. fresh, salt may be added while it Is cooking and this will help to preserve the green color. If it is elder salt added while it is cooling will have a tendency to toughen the fiber, When tender, remove from the wa- ter, and bit of butter to the liquid left, and if salt has not been added, salt to taste. Pour this juice over slices of toast, and serve the aspara- gus branches on the toast. Or the asparagus juice -may; be reserved to use in soup and a white sauce poured over the asparagus and toast. If preferred, the asparagus may be broken in pieces, boiled and served with a vt*hite sauce or with the juice to 'which has been added '!latter and seasonings, Use only enough water to cook nicely, so that none need be poured off or wasted. Asparagus and Cheese Make 'a white sauce of one °cup of water in which the asparagus was cooked, a half cup of cream, three tablespoons of butter and three of Sour. Season with salt and pepper and add two egg yolks and two table- spoons of grated cheese. Stiruntil the cheese melts, but do not let it boil. Then arrange asparagus and sauce in layers in a baking dish, in the order named. Cover with buttered cracker crumbs and put in the oven just long enough to brown the crumbs. Serve at once. Asparagus Soup Break twelve stalks of asparagus into pieces ,throwing tips in one dis and stalks in another. Cover tips with one cup of cold water, and stalks with three.

There probably is no one in the world with as much pride of race as the English- man, except the Chinese. To Chinese eyes the sight of an Englishman rush-_ ing around a playing field. or, still more, pacing up and down a room' while 110 is thinking, is simply childish. No. Chinese will take any unnecessary exercise. To the Englishman the sight of a number of Chinese arguing about scene trivial matter at the pitch of their voices is absurd. No Englishman will make on exhibition of himself if can help a it There, are thetrivial examples, but they may be taken as representatives. of the whole opinionthat the British: China andhe Chinese have of in C na t es a v one. another, The Chinese are an exasper ating people. • There are dozens of big- ger "natters on which the two races•, cannot see alike, and there are char- acteristics in each. which drive the other mad, but•it would take a whole book to enumerate thein. The only point here is that without an effort the two countries will never understand each other. That effort. will never be ' made until what is • n known asthe ha h f mind"—the S n a e g h spirit of walled -in cliques—is broken. One day it will be too late. The in- ternal squabbles in China will hot go on forever. When the country has settled down, then the Chinese will he• strong enough to demand the abolition: of all those special rights to which the British merchant in China clings, and: to force compliance with that demand. :The irony of the situation is that the very day for which British merchants• in China are crying out, when there will be stability in China, will be their' day of reckoning. It may be asked, "Why the British?" What about the "other foreigners in China?" The writer • has taken the British as an example, principally be- cause he has seen more of them, than: ofother foreigners in China. There - are probablyother foreigners in just. the same condition as the British and some may even, be in worse. But the British are less •adaptable• than the Japanese and the French and lack the superficial bonhomie of the. American which overlies all theme dealings with the Chinese. Besides, the British ,are undoubtedly the most important group of foreigners in China at present. There are competi- tors now in the Chinese markets, but they have not yet ousted the British. Whether they will ever'do so is anoth- er question, and the answer to it may, depend to a large extent on whether or not the "Shanghi spirit" can be dis- , sipated.-Living Age. • Scots Tongue Thing of 'r eauty.
