resumed.
"It was sheer blackmail. I met her
terms; a quarterly allowance on con-

leave the country."
He halted in his restless pacing and
when he spoke again it was with his
face averted from the detective.
"Last October the janitor brought a
note up to me, and I found that she
had had the impudence not only to
break our agreement by returning to
America but had actually domiciled
herself beneath the sante roof and
insisted that it was I who had first
broken our agreement by stopping her
allowance, and I must come down to
her at once for a personal interview.

He had thought that the mention of
the dog's foolish pet name had re-
called the man's dead wife, and that
it was genuine grief which had open-
ed the crusty financier's long -closed
heart, whatever his relation to the
other woman and his share in the mys-
tery. But it was not resurrected sor-
row whish met leis amazed eyes; Gris-
wold's thin, acidulous face had been
transformed into that of an exultant
fiend and personal fear seemed to be
wholly forgotten in the sundering of
the hold which he had held over him-
self.
"Miriam Vane!" The repetition of
the naive came with a raucu-is laugh.
"Miriam Vane was my wife, niy law-
ful wif,. to the hour of her death, and
she was too clever to give me an op-
portunity to free myself from her,
at least without the notoriety that she
knew I could not afford. It took some-
one cleverer than she, less cautious
than I, to fire that shot last night,
and because of it I owe a debt for the
first time in my life, a debt of grati-

repay!"

"He and she were in some out-of-

So that was the explanation of the
empty cartridge shell treasured all
these years like the symbol of a ghost
that could not be laid! Barry whistled
softly and then a sudden question
came his mind.
"Mr. Griswold, you told me a while

Fish In Jelly
Tills forms a tasty, nourishing meal,
Put ane quart of stock into a basin
and add one ounce of gelatine, Let it
stand about half an hoar, then add a
tablespoonful of vinegar and a good
seasoning of pepper and salt. Pour
all into a saucepan and place over a
slow fire. As soon as the gelatine has
melted, whip all briskly until it boils,
then let it simmer' gently for twenty
minutes, Pass through a flannel bag
or pour through a clean cloth placed
over a basin, then , when almost set,
put a layer of this jelly in a mould,
then a layer of boiled salmon, freed
from skin and bone; then another
layer of hard-boiled eggs, but in slices.
Continue this until the mould is near-
ly full. If any jelly remains, melt it
and pour over all. When quite set,
turn out and garnish with a salad of
lettuce and reddish, or beetroot and
endive.
Italian Potatoes
Ingredients—i! ive or six well -boiled
potatoes, one tablespoonful of minced
neat, one tablespoonful of Parmesan
or grated cheese, one tablespoonful of
chopped parsley and onion, a little
butter, some breadcrumbs, seasoning,
and half a pint of white sauce. Meth-
od—Mash the potatoes, and place the
ingredients in alternate layers in a
greased pie dish. Bake for from
twenty to thirty minutes. Sauce—One
ounce of butter, one ounce of flour,
seasoning, and half a pint of milk. Put
butter in a saucepan, and allow to
melt; add flour, and stir until quite
smooth, then add the milk very slow-
ly, beating well all the time. Allow to
cook for about five minutes to cook
flour. Add seasoning. This is a very
novel and tasty dish.

Embroidery Tip
Don't talk incessantly. It's tiring
even to have to listen to some women.
Their tongues are never still and most
of what they say is not worth hearing.
Gossip and chatter weary those who
listen, but the constant tongue -wag-
ging is wearing to the woman herself,
and is often the cause of that feeling
of weariness that comes on of an
evening.
Smile if you possibly can when
thi>lgs go wrong. Half the troubles
about which you worry yourself into a
headache are not worth thinking
about. They pass away quickly, and
if you have just met them with a
smile you won't be a whit the worse.
When you get a piece of material
pleated at a shop it has tissue paper
in every fold. Don't take it out until
you have sewed the pleated part into
its place. It keeps the pleats exact,

A bit of embroidery worked -on a
dress gives it a bit of smartness. Lay
the embroidery on a piece of double Minard's Kills Dandruff.
Ingredients—The remains of any
cold fish and an equal quantity of
boiled macaroni; salt, lemon -juice, a
pineh of cayenne, two ounces of
grated cheese, a lump of butter the
size of a walnut. Method—Tear the
fish with a fork into small pieces, then
add it to the macaroni, also cut into
small pieces; season with salt, lemon -
juice, cayenne, and grated cheese. Mix
the whole well together, put the mix-
ture in a flat dish, and grate a good
deal more of the cheese over it; put
the butter on the top, and brown well
in the oven. Serve very hot.
Stewed Ox Kidney
Cut a pound of ox kidney in pieces,
avoiding all the fat and skin; put two
ounces of butter in a stewpan, fry the
kidney in it for five minutes, stir in
two ounces of flour, a finely -chopped
onion, two tablespoonfuls of ketchup,
some salt and pepper, and, when these.
ingredients are well cooked, add a
pint of stock and simmer for twenty
minutes. Fust before serving add two
teaspoonfuls of chopped parsley. Serve
on a hot dish with small squares of
fried bread.
Duchess Pudding
Well grease a pudding -bowl, and
sprinkle thickly with currants. Gut
some thio slices of bread-and-butter
into neat shapes. Sprinkle currants
between each slice. Do not quite fill
the bowl with these. Then make a
custard with two eggs and one pint of
milk and two ounces of sugar, or half
qualities if a smaller pudding is de-
sired, and pour over the bread. Cover
with buttered paper, and steam one
and a half or two hours.
