Place three-fourths of a cupful of thin cream, three tbsp. of butter, one cup of sugar and one cup of molasses in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to the boiling point and add three squares of unsweetened chocolate. Stir it care- fully until the chocolate has melted and continue to let the mixture boil until the syrup forms a firm ball when. dropped into cold water.

Cover it thickly with coarse chopped decorative or more comfortable than huge soft pillows in all shapes, made from heavy black satin and finished with gold tassels. • "With these use one or two in a color that will fit into the scheme. It has been demonstrated again and again that when a note of black is introduced into a room everything. else in it seems to have gained in im- portance, and this touch of black is so easily obtained in cushions." I thought that was most interesting, and I asked her all manner of ques- tions about interior decorating. I ask- ed her what else one could use to brighten up a dull room: Of course there were lamps. If a corner is dark it seems that nothing brightens it up better than a brilliant lamp shade. The Chinese ones that she showed pie were lovely on the lac- quered lanips; the parchment shades were done in any color and style; but the ones that interested me most were the bright, gay plaited ones made from wall paper or glazed chintz. that candlesticks are dried figs.

Love Gives Itself THE STORY" OF'A BLOOD FEUD 13Y ANNIE S, SWAN. "Loe ve .gives itself and is not bought."—Longfellow. CHAPTER IV (Cont'd.) Something swam before Peter Gar- vock's eyes—something red and awful, which could have but one name! ,On these lands, by that very march dyke, there had, in old days, been strife between Stair and The Lees; and where strife had been there may be strife again! • The old blood feud between Stair and The Lees was like to have a fresh chapter added to its bitter story. Alan Rankine, not recognizing his cousin for a few minutes, came strid- ing on, but not blithely, for his own thoughts were too complicated and too overwhelming, but certainly without the slightest expectation of meeting his cousin at such an hour, in such a place. He was thinking of him, natur- ally picturing him at the Clock House with 'Carlotta, trying,perhaps, to im- ters stand, but I kept the last card up my sleeve—Stair is mine, to all intents and purposes, mine! Do you heart, And I'll keep it hard and fast! You can go and earn your bread where you like—you and Judy and Claud! And when you are finding it a tough job to get food and shelter out there, in the world that you have supposed to exist for you, perhaps you'll find that it hardly peid you to make: an enemy of Peter Garvock!" Alan Rankine's temper was not fiery, and he had tried to make allow- ances for the frightful provocation his cousin had received; but at these scathing, humiliating words he bit his Hp, and the veins began to stand outs ominously on his temples, Seeing this, Peter Garvock's lust for vengeance seemed to grow in intensity and power, and he went on in the slow, deliberate manner of the man agane what would be transpiring, who sets out to wound and to destroy, there.

And all your high- sounding, fine words won't wipe out your black treachery. But, if I can't marry Carlotta Carlyon, Stair, you never will! I'll make it impossible for you—do you hear?—impossible!” He spoke • the last word in a kind of hiss, and started forward as if he would be at his cousin's throat. An ineffable sadness crept over Rankine's face. "Listen, .Peter. I don't suppose it is much use my speaking, but—but try to listen while I explain. Did I foresee or want this thing which has been thrust into my life in such a strange, amazing manner? I would have been better without it. I am poor. My hands are tied.

There ' could never have been any happiness at The Lees see' under such conditions." "I'll take care there is none at Stair!" was the retort which leaped, like a snarl, from Garvock's lips.

But young men of Claud Rankine's type do not need much bolstering after the initial stage. Give them their chance, and they make good in every walk of life. Claud had already made his mark at Cambridge, though he was far too modest to talk about it and he had no anxiety about hie future. The fulfilling of a long -cherished desire had wrought a wonderful change in the lad, developing in him, a sunny temperament which was constant joy to Judy. Womanlike, sh'_ had poured her chiefest devotion on Alan, who won love as easily as he • breathed. Just she had been and truly kind to both brothers, because it was not her nature to be otherwise,,but now she was slowly learning that her younger brother had qualities lacking in the elder.
