"Do you know how long you are going

answered. ' 'I'm' like the schodlboy: L

Ile paused and shookhis head, and
Stafford remained silent; he was 'too
wise to break In upon the narrative. The
landlordsighed and looked lovingly at

"They offeredthat squire—Miss Illa's
grandfather—a peerage; the herons
had often been offered a baronetcy; but
they'd always refused, and .the squire
declined' the peerage. He said that no

he was quite satisfied with the rank

"How didthe family -lose: its money,

The landlord screwed up his eyes

"Well, It's hard to tell, sir," lie 're-
plied. "Of course there was always a
tremendous drain going on; for it was

strode up the -road. As he said, he did

ford, with his athletic frame and. per-
fect muscular system, to get tired un-
der any eiremnstances—the night was
one of Ole loveliest he had ever seen, and
it seemed wicked to waste it Ma going

The renr0l'k5 about his father which had
fallen from the bagman. stuck to him
for a time like a burr: It isn't pleasant
to hear your father described as a lchld•
of charlatan and trickster. and Stafford
would- have liked to lutve collared the
man and lalocked an apology out of him;
but there are certain disadvantages at-
tached to the position of gentlemen. and
one of them is that you have to pretend
to•be deaf to speeches that were not in-
tended for your ears; so Stafford ' could
not bash the bagman for having spoken
disrespectfully.. of the great Sir Stephen
Orme. •

Bacon Adils Zest To Ani' Meal.
Bacon added to almost any vege-
table soup is an improvement. Of
course' the grease lvhic'h it produces
must be carefully removed, but the
flavor remains. Dried pea and bean
soup, for instance, are delicipusly
flavored ifbaconis cooked with the
peas or beans: '
Any roasting meat can be flavored
with 'slices df bacon laid over it
while it is cooking. Broiled bacon
with fish or with beefsteak is appe
'tizing. A slice or two of bacon
cooked with string Leans or peas
gives them an unusual flavor. Bacon
invariably improves egg dishes. A
little chopped broiled bacon can be
advantageously added to any meat
salad and to some of vegetables.
And, nowadays, you know many
doctors recommend bacon, boiled
dry without burning, for small
babies that have hardly begun to
eat solids. But this recommenda-
tion had better come from the doc-
tor that knows the baby.
The way to elft bacon to advan-
tage is to place it on. a board with
the rind down. Slice it with a very
sharp knife down to the rind, in thin
slices, but do not cut through the
rind. Then fun the knife along the
rind, loosening the slices. The rind
can he used to grease griddles with.
Cub in this way the slices are even
and thin.
Broiled bacon is probably the best
from a dietetic point of view. And
many persons think it the best from
the point of taste, Bacon can be
fried so that it is almost as crisp as
broiled bacon in this way.

rind and heat it to the smoking

.HERE is no home decoration more pleasingly simple
than walls ofP lain, -soft. color tints. And there is
no wall covering more sanitary than the washable,
durable "Neu -Tone" Flat Paint.' .
"NEU-TONE" is the modern finish 'for halls, stairways,
bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens— or in fact, for any
Plastered' Wall, Ceiling, Burlap, Wood or Metal Surface.
"NEU-TONE" NEU-TO,NE is easy to apply, as it takes care of itself—works
well under the brush -flats perfectly without a trace of laps or brush
,marks—producing a subdued flat finish of a soft velvety effect and
1 with, ,great. depth of tone that is pleasing' and restful to the eye.
•" 'NEU=i'O NE" is also most economical because it gives you
walls that are easily cleaned. When a `aNEU-TONE" Wall becomes
soiled, a sponge o1' soft cloth and lukewarrn water,
will remove dirt and 'finger marks and renew the
soft velvety appearance of this finish.
