CHAPTER III.—(Cont'd.) For that afternoon on the Necro- polis had not remained solitary of its kind, and during his last weeks in Glasgow the meetings, both in tram - ears and in the street, had multiplied extraordinary. So had the mutual confidences. More and more deeply had John unfolded to the eagerly list- ening girl his plans and his hopes; thrilled' by the belief that his zeal was shared. Even the visit to Grant Street had been paid; for Mrs. Watson, her first indignation cooled, had re- flected that to get Ella off her hands would not be half a bad job, seeing that it might enable her to take a lod- ger who would pay, not only for board, but also for lodging, and since a poor relation has a terrible wayof turning into a stone around one's neck. Dating from that visit to Grant Street the acquaintance entered un- mistakably on another stage. With an alarm that was yet not wholly un- pleasant, John began to realise that he was regarded as having "inten- tions." It was certain, at any rate, that she hacl. Even John was vague -1 ly conscious of them; and could not; find in himself either the energy or even the desire to resist. Occasional- ly even the practical side of the ques tion would put in its argument. Had not Tim M`Laren longago recommend -1 ed a wife for the sewinf on ofbuttons and similar proceedings? And might' not a wife, whose care would keep the ;sordid things of life from him, prove a help, rather than a hindrance? Yes, a helpmate must be good- else why ,should so many pastors be husbands? Thus John argued, struggling with some obscure doubt, and overlooking the only decisive _argument in the case, which was that he was young and I but a man, and that she was likewise 1 l young' and aso very tolerablyt fair. y He would be doing nothing wrong, he ;was sure of that, even when be- ginning to be aware of the personal !element in the prospect. It could not !be called a defection, at the most a compromise, since legitimate love was ;not forbidden to the spiritual laborer. I And yet—and yet, it had not been in I the plan before; and, do what he would, he could not get it quite to fit in. Mal le -Sugar in the Daily Meals. If you can buy, maple -syrup, at a reasonable price, do so, and bottle it yourself. To make a success of this the syrup must be bottled while hot, in air -tight bottles --{preferably in pint size, for it very soon loses its flavor when left open. Following are some particularly good recipes for tha use of maple -sugar and syrup: Lunch Cakes.—One ' cupful maple - sugar, one-fourth cupful butter, three- fourths cupful sweet milk, one egg, two cupfuls flour, one teaspoonful bakingepowder, nuts. Cream butter and sugar, add beaten egg, milk, and flour sifted with baking -powder, 'Bake in well -buttered muffin -tins, in a quick oven, If nuts are used, add lastly,. Maple Frosting.—One cupful maple - syrup, one-half cupf rt of white sugar, white of one egg. Boil syrup and sugar until mixture will grain, stir until nearly cold, then pour on stiffly beaten white' lei egg Maple Filling.—Two ,and one-fourth cupfuls maple -sugar, one-fourth cup- ful butter, one-half cupful sweet milk, one teaspoonful vanilla: Cook all in- gredients together, as for frosting. Beat as it cools, and flavor. Have cake cold when filling is put on. Cream Maple -Sugar Frosting.— Two cupfuls soft maple -sugar, one cupful cream. Break sugar into small. pieces, put in saucepan with cream, and stir occasionally until sugar is dis- solved. Boil without stirring until a soft ball can be formed with .the fin- gers when mixture is tried in cold wa- ter. Beat 'until of the right con- sistency to spread. Moonshine Cake.—One and one- fourth cupfuls °maple -sugar, one-half cupfiww butter, one-half cupful • sweet milk, six tablespoonfuls cornstarch, one and one-half cupfuls flour, one and one-fourth ` teaspoonfuls vanilla. Whites of four eggs. Cream butter and sugar; sift cornstarch and flour several times, and add alternately with milk to first mixture; add vanilla, and fold in whites of eggs, beaten dry. . Y Bake in quick oven in large tins. X * * :k * * Another thing which, on this his i last return to the quarry; helped to disturb John's mind was a certain heap of stones which he found piled up by the side of a narrow by -road winding into one of the valleys. Was that for the new school -house? he in- quired. No, he was told; it was for the Roman Catholic chapel, for which the slim had been raised by subscrip- tion. John's surprise verged on indigna- tion. Was it worth while building a chapel for the hundred and odd Ro- man Catholics extant within a round of three. miles ? And how about John Knox? The existence even of that hundred seemed to show that his measures had, after all, not been searching enough. There was a cer- tain cottagie in the village whose thatch was weighted by bricks dangl- ing from wirea, and which waspointed out as the place where, during the persecutions, Mass bad been secretly celebrated. John, despite all his mild- ness, could not help thinking that, for the purpose, it might have continued to suffice. A chapel meant a priest; or course, and it was impossible to relish the idea of meeting, even only on the road, a Papist worker -on this ground which he had so long looked at as exclusively his own future field. But after all, this was a free coun- try. goo e3 WAJ AWA ti FIE value of your home is judged most often by the wear -resisting qualities of the roof.

It was Ella wlio said it to John- no longer Miss Mitchell to Mr. ,M`Don- nell. And the occasion on which she said it was one which conies to a good many lives, though not to all, and which Society has agreed fantastically to dub a honeymoon.' For Fate had been too strong; eith- er that or else Ella's pale blue eyes. Seeing her again at the outset of his last college term, he had known how it would end, and had not even been sorry to know. Was there not some- thing clearly providential in his meet- ing with this so sympathetic soul? And how shoulc' he doubt her lively interest in his work when she chid not doubt it herself ? Towards one of the eternally giggling girls of the period, John could never have felt drawn; but Ella herself was so convinced of being "serious," that she easily convinced him. That during one of their eir Sun- day walks he should take her hand and say to lie:•: "Will you work with me, Ella.; will you help me?" was there- fore just as unavoidable as that a stone dropped irate the water should sink to the bottom;and as unavoidable' too was the af?iimatrve'aaswer. After that John's doubts vanished, and were believedby himself to be dead; which, under the ciecnalstances, was another unavoidable thing. As now, upon the Steamer's deck, he stood by the side of his new -made wife, doing the honors, sa to say, of his native shores, there was, nevei•the- less, a 'faint scrapie in hie mind; for Snow Pudding.

Skim -milk is a very economical food material in the opinian ' of experts, and might well be more largely used as human food -this in spite of the fact that it is nine -tenths water. Whole milk is an indispensable food for the young, and even in the diet of the adult it is comparatively economical. The only nourishing ma- terial taken from it in skimming is the butter fat. where is left, therefore, in the skim -milk, not only all of the sugar, which amounts to about four, and a half parts in every hundred, and all of the mineral substances, but also all of the protein, The last-named substance is important because, be- sides serving as fuel for the body, as fats, sugars and starches do, it also supplies tissue -building material. The proportion of protein in skim -milk, as well as of the mineral constituents, which are also valuable for body- building, is even greater than in whole milk. Skim+milk is to be classed, as whole milk is, with such food inatei'ials as eggs, meat, fish, poultry, and cheese (though it is much more delicate than those foods) rather than with such substances as sugar, which serve only as. fuel, Two end a half quarts of skim -milk contain almost as much pro- tein and yield about the same amount of energy as a pound of round of beef. When skim -milk sells for four cents a quart, or about two cents a pound, and round of beef for twenty cents a pound, a dime, or any other sum of money spent fer skim -milk will pro- vide nearly twice as much nourish- ment as it will if spent for round steak. A Meat Loaf Recipe. Soak two cups of bread crumbs in one cup of boiling water. Rub the soft bread crumbs and 2 cups of cooked oatmeal through'a fine sieve. One and one-half cupfuls of cold boiled' meat, run through a food chopper three times, Novtrub the meat through a sieve, add the oatmeal. and bread crumbs and one and one- half teaspoonfuls salt, one teaspoonful onion sauce, 1 teaspoonful poultry sea- soning, one cupful thick cream sauce: Mix well and pack in a well -greased mold and bake for forty minutes in a moderate oven. Set the mold in a pan of hot water. Serve either hot or cold. If serving hot, a brown or tomato sauce should be used. To Clean A Blouse. A very simple way of cleaning white blouses,which has been found effi- cacious, is to line a box with clean white paper, cover the bottom with Fuller's earth, spread the blouse care- fully over this and put another layer of theearth over it. Spread another sheet of white paper over this and put the cover on the box. Let it remain untouched for five or six days; then shake out the blouse, which will be quite clean. Mending Hints. To mend a glove that is split at the thumb or near a seam., buttonhole the kid either` side of the split and: then sew the 'buttonhole edges together. The result will be a new firm` seam that will never tear again. When buttonholing take : a good' hold of the kid, otherwise the stitches will pull out from the kid.

Of the three great figures that emerged on the Boer\side in the war of defence that developed after Lady- smith—Botha, De Wet. and Delarey- De Wet was much the most impres Sive. ; His face was a study in resis- tance, says Mr. Harold Spender in Gena Botha, the Careen and the Man. His body seemed all muscle. Look- ing on him, one could understand the fear that he inspired in his own men.. But it was his schemes of escape, al- most miraculous in their dunning, that perplexed an empire and puzzled a planet. On'one or two cccasions I have seen. his face light up when he referred to one of his own achievements . in eva- sion, and of those achievements one still stands out in my memory. One evening, after ` -a long :clay's march, -so he told us, -all his .wand- erings seemed to have come to an end. The lights '.of the British bivouac fires twinkled from every point of the hor-! izon. De Wet, as was his wont, went apart from his men and sat alone int dumb despair. Then there came to' him softly one of those wonderful' scouts who served him eo well. The' scout had discovered a slight gap in' the British lines between two regi- ments that were not quite keeping touch. In a moment De Wet was on his feet. ` Within an hour every horse's foot was muffled with cloth or wool and every wagon wheel was swathed.; The Boer camp fires were lighted and! were left binning brightly. Then the' whole Boer force crept out through the darkness of the night in utter sil-' ence;.penetrated the gap in the British! lines and 'started on a new course of fugitive warfare.
