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
not spare, for some months, her
mother's guiding influence. It was
merely that sea voyages cost money,
and honey, at that particular time,
was scarce and growing scarcer about
the Hardenworth apartment. Seeming-
ly the only course that remained was
to move forward the date of her mar-
riage to Ned, at present set for the

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' ride took him to the
office of his friend, Rex Nord, vice-
president of a great marine -outfitting
establishment, and 'five minute's con-
versation with this gentleman told him:
all he wanted to know. Yes, as it
happened, Nerd knew of a corking
craft that was at that moment in
need of a charterer, possibly just the
thing that Cornet wanted. •
i'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 Merman's
scow. She 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 ox 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-
ing 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?"

Ned kissed the girl's inviting lips.
"Hunt up Ole Knutsen, at this ad-
dress." Nard wrote an instant: on a:
strip of .paper. "The nature of the
craft is the Charon"
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,

list of supplies.
"Of course we might put in 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 cases 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

The tips are more tender than the

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
flour. Season with salt and pepper
and add two egg yolks and two table-
spoons of grated cheese. Stir until
the cheese melts, but do not let it boil.
