Julia looked up with astonishment from the sandwiches she was pack- ing for his, journey. "Dear me, Bertie, of course you know that I anil Whatever snakes you ask?" - "You esteem him;. I suppose?" "Of course I do. Why shouldn't I? A man in his position is surely worthy of esteem." "t la if T could show you that Iie isn't worthy of it" She stared at him, round -eyed, and very nearly open-mouth. "But, Bertie, what's the matter? I thought you were so pleased with my marriage ?" "So 1 was—until quite lately. But the fact is I've changed my hind about Berrell. I've bad a cahnce of seeing the real man, and you haven't; and before youbind yourself for life I think I ought to tell you that he isn't the man we took him for. Don't ask me for particulars—I couldn't give them; but this :much I will tell you; his respect for human life is not —well, not what one takes for grant- ed that it is in every respectable per- son; certainly not what one wants it -to be in those nearest one." Under the stress of the astonish- ment Julia had sat down. She even grew a little pale. "Good gracious, Bertie, you don't mean that he's killed anybody?" "No, oh, no! He hasn't hurt a fly, to my. knowledge—not a man, any- way; I don't believe he'd have the pluck to do it; but hers capable of egg- ing on another, under safe cover for himself: I know he is, and since I knew it the thought of seeing you since,, wife troubles me." For a brief space after her brother paused Julia sat ` there, a. prey to visibly perplexed reflection. Very soon, however, the surface agitation— it was no more than that—died away as infallibly as die away the circles upon the water into which a stone has been .thrown. Within` a minute her broad, good-humored face had again become as placid as any unvisited pond. Then she laughed, her usual, comfortable laugh. "Really, Bertie, you quite fright- ened nie! I thought you had spotted George as some unpunished '• criminal! It's very good of you to warm me and all that, of course, but those sur- mises of yours—and I'd rather take then only as surmises—aren't enough to scare me off." "He isn't a good man, Julia -I know he isn't." "Did I ever say he was ? I'm not marrying him for his virtues, but for his position . and his income—parti- cularly his income; to you I don't mindsaying this. Not the man we took him for! But what did we take him for but a quarry manager who, understands his work, and with eight hundred a year? IIe remains that,' doesn't he, evensupposing his senti- ments aronot quite so elevated as you took them to be—mercy knows why? I'll never have such 'another; chance,' even if I have another chance at all1 What can I hope for, now that Fenella has made mince -meat of the family prospects? And after George has. consented to overlook the objection of the relationship! No, no I'd be a fool to break now.

Those Who sats him before he started never forgot the look of hap- piness upon the dead face,—so much happier than any they had ever seen upon any living one, "I know why that is," said Fenella to herself, when the tale of that death- bed reached her in her far-off Canad- ian home, where love and courage had Slate roofs and straw thatch had all �e disappeared under heautifully fitting snow-caps; while to the very -edge of the water the universal white lay, with no more than irregular bulges to be- tray the whereabouts of the buried sea -weed wreaths. As perfect as this it could not last for a day; hut while it lasted it made a picture not to be forgotten by the eyes which looked upon it. Upon that dead white afternoon, the minister, walking a little beyond the village, became aware of a canine clamour on the shore below. He looked impatiently in that direction, for the sharp yaps disturbed his train of thought. Having looked, lie stood still, and having stood still for a mo- ment, he turned decisively from the road; and, along a path freshly trod- den in the snow, approached the spot ' where Father Grey was struggling with Boxer for a bit of driftwood which the latter was supposed to be retrieving, but from which, at the given moment, he found it too great a sacrifice to part. Just as John reached the dark line of the shore— for here the tide had already been busy-1Jiie priest 'was triumphantly holding the recovered stick aloft, while the dripping beast leaped fran- tically around him, with bright eyes almost starting rfom its head, and deafening barks filling the air, ,and all the other symptoms of canine lunacy, commonly produced on a fox -terrier by the combination of a ,piece of stick and a surface of water. Father Grey nodded apologetically in John's direction, but it was not un- til the stick had been thrown, and Boxer, with a splash worthy of a Newfoundland bent- upon , salvage work, had plunged in after it, that speech became possible. "You find me in difficulties again," laughed the little priest, wiping his sandy fingers upon the hem of his soutane. "Coming to the rescue, eh?" "No; I ' was not coming to the rescue. I wanted to tell you some- thing." "Ah?" said Father Grey, glancing up with a touch of curiosity, for there was a curious smile upon the minis- ter's lips, and his voice, too; had about it a ring which the other did not know how to classify. i "Yes. I have come to tell you that there is now noboby-more remaining to cry when I go out to battle." I "When you go out to battle?". re- peated Father Grey, not comprehend- : ing, and therefore a little foolishly. "Yes. Don't you remember telling j me a story about the boy who wanted to be a soldier, but who didn't want to found a -family, because of-" A flash of understanding passed through the priest's eyes. "Ah—I know. And you mean—?" "Just what I say. There is nobody remaining to cry over me now. I buried the last of them yesterday." For a moment Father Grey looked out silently across the water towards the white hills. He was beginning to understand; and he had classified the tone as one of secret triumph. "But your daughters? Your son?" "My son has gone out into - the world. He does not need me. He never has needed me, except once for one flour. My daughters have 'both chosen husbands. One of 'them Is going out of ,my life for ;ever, to the ends of the world!' l! or just `one second his voice faltered, and then recovered. "I am glad of it; it ° is 1. titter so.

"At last I understand," said Father Grey. ` immediately after and with a -rail- er knowing little smile upon his' Ii,ps, he glanced up into the face of the man sl e efadedly glorying in his Isola- tier; sola tion:.

(The .Erni.) SOUPS MINUS MEATS. Soups made with milk banish a., tablespoonful salt, 1 quart milk, dash wholesome nutrient food rich in food pepper, 8 crackers. Try out the fat' value since they contain all the nutri- or use drippings in its place, add the tive value of the milia in addition to onion' and' brown. Turn the :fat" into the vegetables and other ingredients the 'saucepan,' add potatoes, boiling used. The food, is in easily digested water and cook ten minutes. Add form and when served with bread and the fish and simmer ten minutes, then butter furnishes all the necessary add the milk, seasoning and heat to the boiling point. Serve with the crackers moistened in cold milk on the tdp'•of-the- chowder. Vegetable Soup (without Meat). - ',4 small onion, 1-8 cupful turnips, 1-8 cupful carrots, 1, cupful celery, salt, 1 quart water, 4 tablespoonfuls drippings, 114 cupful potato, 5.4. table- spoonful minced parsley, dash pepper. Wash, scrape or pare and cut the vegetables into slices and prepare them before measuring. Mix the vegetables together omitting the po- tatoes. Melt the drippings in a stew pan, add the vegetables and cook about ten ,minutes stirring constant- ly so that all brown evenly. Add the potatoes and cook five minutes more, then add the water and simmer slowly two' hours, covered. Season with salt and pepper, add the minced parsley and serve very hot. The vegetables may be mashed finer with a fork or chopped very fine food elements for a balanced meal. There is no better way to utilize the left overs of the dinner, the tough parts of vegetables,; the water in which vegetables are cooked, and they provide a food of suchhigh value at so low a cost. Soups made from split peas, green peas, beans, lentils or fish are richer than those made from celery, carrots, turnips, potatoes ar asparague, and a chowder makes a good substantial meal. Either canned or salt fish may be used in fish chowder when fresh fish is not available. The housewife whose shelves are supplied with cold -pack vegetables has first-class material for nourishing,' delicious and inexpensive soups. The proportions for cream soups or soups made without meat are: About one-half as much vegetable pulp as milk or white sauce with the addition of seasoning. If the vegetables used contain a large amount of starch, milk may be used without thickening and where thereis water in which the vegetables were cooked an equal amount of vegetable water and pulp is used with the same amount of .white sauce. The general directions for making cream soups are: Cook the vegetables in water until they are soft, then press through a coarse strainer and add the water in which they are cooked •to the pulp that comes through the etrainer. Make the white sauce just before serving time and combine the vege- table pulp with the white sauce after the sauce has cooked up. Do not let'the,soup stand long before serv- ing as it is likely to thicken too much. Serve veryhot with crackers or bread cut in half-inch cubes and toasted a delicate brown. To makea richer soup an egg, slightly beaten, or a few teaspoonfuls of -whipped cream may. be added to the soup just before _sery- frig. To make the white sauce use two tablespoonfuls of fat, one tablespoon- ful of flour to each cup of milk and ( season to taste. Mix the flour with an equal quantity of cold water or milk and stir until smooth, then add enough more milk to make it pour easily. Heat the rest of the milk ha a double boiler (never boil the milk) and when hot all through add` the flour mixture gradually and stir con- stantly as the mixture thickens. 'Add the butter and seasoning and let cook ten or fifteen minutes. ' Cream of Pea Soup. -1 pint can peas, 1 pint cold water, 1 teaspoonful sugar, 1 quart thin white sauce. Method same as stated above: Cream of Corn Soup. -1 pint can of corn, 1 pint cold water, 1 small slice onion, 1 quart thin white'sauce. Me- thod same as stated above. Cream of celery, turnip, potato, bean soups all made same as above. Corn Chowder.--1-can corn, 2 -inch cube fat salt pork, 1 slice onion, 4 potatoes, 1 quart milk, 8 crackers,`salt' to taste pepper. Try out the fat or use drippings in place of the salt pork fat. Add the onion to the melt- ed fat and cook until brown. Strain the fat into a large saucepan, add the potatoes, cut into half-inch cubes and the boiling water. Cook until the potatobs are soft, then add the milkw Canker Worms. Canker worms begin to ascend trees as soon as frost is out of the ground attacking orchard and shade trees, particularly apple, elm, pear, chestnut, hickory, oak, maple, box elder, cherry and plum. The canker worms are the most common of the measuring worms ' that loop up in the middle. Spray with arsenate of lead, three pounds to a barrel of water, applied as soon as the foliage is fairly ex- panded and before the trees bloom, with a second spraying as soon as the flowers drop. The first spraying, if well done, will usually be sufficient. Encircling the trees with bands of. sticky paper which the female cannot cross will prevent them from ascend- ing the trees and depositing their eggs. Get the bands on the trees this month. Place.a band of cotton around the tree and -cover this with a strip of building paper six inches wide, over which the sticky band should be plac- ed. - A sticky preparation sold by seeds- men, eedsmen, called tanglefoot, may be applied directly to the tree. It is quickly applied and thoroughly effective. Clrrant jelly will flavor and color icing delightfully. .TYPEWRITERS ALL UnCFS Look at these bargains:—Typewriters Rebuilt, guaranteed in , perfect order, front $515.00 to $80;00.
