And to -morrow the first step
to be taken. At thought of the
months that would pass—the Tiro

passed over him. Yet,:' as he to

his face betrayed nothing.
"But about the wedding," his co
had recommenced, being about
hard to get away from an idea o
started as is a dog from a half-gn

John smiled' a little wearily.
"I'm no good at weddings, I

"Marrying x

shutting one- eye. "How'il that

a part of your professional busine
so to say?"
"You won't be able to get out

minister," grumbled Adam. (Even
this un -Presbyterian neighborhood
Presbyterian designation stuck).
"Let him alone," grinned Ti
"Give him time to grow out of his n

his own wedding before we know wha

e
hag that he'll Spresentlym come ba
with a braw wife from Glasgow, whi •
would sorely disappoint all the lass
here."
In John's wide brown eyes, turne
full upon the speaker, there was n
''irritation, but only a vast astonish
nxent written.
"A wife?" he repeated, in a startle
tone as tleough Tim had suggested:hi
reappearance in the company of som
ante-diluvian monster. "What woul
I want a wife for?"
"For sewing your buttons to you
waistcoat for one thing, and for tell
ing you when it's time to have you
boots mended for another."
,Thus the glib Tim, with two separ
ate ,grins, and corresponding indica--
l•..l,g of certain weak points in the fu-
ture clergyman's attire.
Upon: this new view of the case,
John reflected deeply, but ended' by
shakng his head. Somehow a wife
would not fit into his picture of the
future.
Into the middle of that picture
sounded the releasing whistle far the
cramped men 'within the bothies.
A little later John McDonnell was
passing out through the gates. The
closing }Lour' had not yet come,; but he
had things to see to, for: the boat
passed at break of day. He walk-
ed with wistful eyes turned across the
loch to where he knew the hills were.
Would those old friends not show him
their faces once more?
They would, and even more than
their faces; for he was but half -way
to the village when, from under the
edge of the cloud canopy, there stole
an almost horizontal ray, a pale and
watery ray, yet enough to tear the
coverings to shreds, enough to touch
the
heights s �vit
h lox

hollows with color, to turn the water
from lead to silver and the 'ells from
om
grey to white. Sohn. McDonnell gaz-
ed at the swiftly passing pageant as
though he would print off on; his
memory each detail, to live, upon dur-
ing his winter exile. Had he not
loved it all so deeply he would not be
leaving it:now. It was at once the
proudest and the most: heart -break -
mg
moment of his life.
A little later still, Willie Robson,
outside the gate, was standing upon
his head, as a means of relaxation
after the enforced dignity of the after-
noon. Simultaneously Tim McLaren
tvas trudging homewards with frank-
ly humped shoulders and.not the ghost
of a grin upon his face. There was
no sense in playing the clown outside
the quarry. These were the times
at evlhicli he could permit himself not
only to be old, but also to look. it.

public offices•—the daily exodus from
play to work. Here, upon the nar-
row wooden benches, the usual busi-
ness -man in top -hat, his black bag
beside him and his nose in the latest
Stock Exchange telegrams, sat side
by side with the inevitable shop -girl,
whose ftizzled hair and wasp -like
waist pointed to much labor already
at this early hour overcome,—oi• with
the ubiquitous woman in a shawl, her
shapeless figure screened by a basket
which in favorable cases contains
vegetables, in unfavorable ones, fish.
It would not have been hard, at a
glance, to classify each one of the cies-
tomary apparitions. Occasionally,
however, a doubt might arise. That
young woman, for instance, with the.
startlingly
'
gI Y fair hair, xr, elabgrately dress-
ed under a straw hat somewhat light
for the season, looked rather too sup-
erior for the counter, and could as
easily be imagined at the head of a
class, or even in a private schoolroom.
From under the rim of this same hat
she was at this moment occupied in
Fish Recipes.
Fish Soup (Russian). --This soup is
very hearty. It may be made ofone
or several varieties of fish. Put two
Pounds fresh fish, including bones and
head, in a saucepan, together with one
sliced carrot, one onion, several stalks
of celery cut into bits, sprigs of pars-
ley, one bay leaf and six peppercorns.
Cover with three quarts of water and
boil, gently one and one-half hours.
Strain through cheesecloth into anoth-
jer saucepanadd six tablespoons rice
and boil until rice is tender. Add one-
half pound uncooked fish, skinned, bon-
ed and cut into small pieces, and sim-
mer about fifteen minutes,, Have
ready one egg yolk beaten into one
cup of cream or rich milk; add this to
the soup; remove from fire without
letting boil any more, flavor with salt,
pepper and paprika and serve.
Salmon Mold. --Drain off the juice
from a can of salmon and flake the
fish, picking out every fragment of
bone and skin. Mix with the fish one
egg lightly beaten, the juice of a half
lemon, a cupful fine dry dread crumbs,
and salt and pepper to season. Pack.
in a buttered mold which has a tight-
fitting tin cover, steam for two hours
and cool.
Ssilmon Cutlets. — Chop rather
oarsely the contents of a tin of sal-
on, and
mix in an equalbulk of
read crumbs, seasoning the lot ac-
ording to taste. Then, with the aid
of beaten eggs, form a fairly stiff
aste, which can be made into cutlets,
nd each coated with egg or milk and
rowned bread crumbs. Heat in a
yang pan with dripping. ,This pro -
ss will be found an economical one,.
the fish lasts longer than if merely

How To Prepare Vegetables
e
One of the duties of every Cana-
dian housewife at the present is to
make every home a thrift centre.
There are still avenues of waste in
every home. One of the most' un-
noticed of these is probably our me
thods of preparing and cooking cer-
tain kinds of food.
Here are the rules for the cook-
ing of vegetables: • Old vegetables or
those` that are wilted should be soak-
ed at least half an hour in clear, cold
water before cooking. Particularly
does this apply just now to old pota-
toes. Under no circumstances add
salt to the water iie cooking these, as
it draws out the juices, hardens the
fibre, and destroys the flavor,
All
vegetables
s should uld be put over
the fire to Cook in rapidly -boiling
water, and in uncovered vessels.
Vegetables containing starch -rice,
potatoes, chestnuts—must be boiled
until tender, but' not a moment longer,
or they will become heavy and soggy.
Old peas, beans, and lentils should
be washed and soaked over night. In
the morning drain, cover with fresh
boiling water, boil half an hour, drain,
and threw this water out. They are
then ready to be cooked according to
any recipe. This preparation is neces-
sary r in
order
yto
get full food
value
and to
make them more digestible and.
palatable, It is important to remem..
ber this at the present time, as these
foods are amongst our best meat sub-
stitutes.
Vegetables containing volatile fla-
voring, onion, cabbage, cauliflowers,
and Brussels sprouts, should be boil-
ed in salted water in an uncovered
vessel, or they will emit a very un-
pleasant odor. The volatile matter
contained in all these vegetables is
rich in hydroger. and sulphur, both of
which are valuable for the human
system; so when this is allowed to es-
cape by over -cooking or careless cook
u.g, there is great food waste.
A safe rule to, remember is: Top -
ground, succulent, or green vegetables
should be cooked in salter- boiling wa-
ter. Underground vegetables, the
roots and stems of plants should be
cooked in boiling, unsalted water. Salt
should be added after they have been
drained:

A Free Prescription You Can Have

London.—Do you wear glasses? Are you a
victim of eye strain or otter eye 'weaknesses?
' I£ so, you will be glad, to know that according to.
Dr. Lewis there is real hope for you. Many
whose eyes were failing say they have had their
eyes restored through the principle of this won-

A lady who used it says: The

prescription for fifteen days everything seems

It is believed that thousands who wear glasses
can now discard theta in a reasonable time and
multitudes more will be able to strengthen their,
eyes so as to be spared the trouble and expense
of ever e,t:tit;; glasses. Eye troubles of many
