"If you go around to the stab'es they will give you my pony cart." Emily offered Impulsively. "You." her dimpling smile gleamed out. "you once put a tire on for me. you know. Please let me return the service " Rupert's black eyes opened, a slow grin of appreciation crinkled streaks of dust and oil as be surveyed the young girl. "I'll put tires on every wheel you run Into control, day and nlgbt shifts." he acknowledged with sweet cordial ity. "But I'm no horse-chauffeur, thanks; I guess I'll walk." "Ha Is a gentle pony." she remon strated "Any one can drive him." He turned a side glance toward the motionless car. "That's all right, but I'm used to be ing killed other ways. I'll be going " "Jack Rupert, do you mean to tell me that you will race with Lestrange very season, and yet you're afraid to drive a fat cob?" cried the delighted Dick. "I'm not telling anything. I had a chum who was pitched out by a horse be lost control of. and broke his neck. I'm taking no chances." "How many men have you seen break their necks out of autos?" "That's In business," pronounced Rupert succinctly. "I'm going on. Dar Jing: It's only a two-mile run." "Here, wait." Dick urged. "Emily, 111 stroll around to the stables with blm and make one of the men drive blm down. You don't mind my leav ing you?" "No." Emily answered. "I will wait for you." She might bave walked back alone. If she had chosen. But Instead she aat down on a boulder near the hedge, folding ter bands In her lap like a de mure child. The house was so dull, so hopelessly monotonous contrasted with this fresh, wind tossed outdoors and Lestrange in bis vigor of life and glamour of ultra-modem adventure. 1 "You and Mr. Kfrench are very good." Lestrange said presently. "I am afraid I appreciate It more than Ru pert, though." "Is he really afraid of horses?" " should not wonder; I never tried tilm. But he Is amazingly truthful." Their eyes met across the strip of sunny road as they smiled; again Emily felt the sudden confidence, the falling away of all constraint before the direct clarity of his regard. "You won your race." she tald Ir relevantly. "I was glad, since you wanted It." "Thank you." he returned with equal simplicity. "But I did not want It that way, so far as I was con cerned." "Yet It was the next step?" "Yet. It was the next step. I meant ' that one does not care to be victor because the leading cars were wreck ed. There Is no elation In defeating a driver who lies out on the course. But, as you say, It helped my pur pose. You," he hesitated for the right phrase, "you are most kind to recall that I have a purpose." It was the convent-bred Emily who looked back at blm, earnest-eyed, ex altedly serious. . "I bave thought of It often. Every on else that I know Just Uvea the way things happen there are only a few people who grasp things and make them happen. That Is real work; so many of us are Just given work wo do not want" she broke off. "If wo do not want the work. It Is probably not our own," said Le strange. "Unless wo have brought It oa ourselves by a fault we must un do I need not speak of that to you. One must not make the mistake of as suming some one else's work." Ho spoke gently, almost as If with a clairvoyant reading of her tendency to self-immolation. "But may not some one else's fault be given us to undo?" sbo asked eag erly. "May not their work bo forced a os?" "No," ho answered. "No?" bewildered. "I don't think so. Each one of at bat enough with bis own, at least so It teems to mo. Most of us die be fore we finish It" Emily paused, contending with the loneliness and doubts which Impelled her to speech, the feminine yearning to lot another decide her problems. Tblt other', nonchalant strength of decision allured her uncertainty. "I am discouraged," she confessed. "And tired. I there It no reaaon why I should not tpeak of It Yon know Dick, how bo can do nothing tn he factory or business, or In the placet where a Ffrench should stand ;AI1 this must fall Into the hands of t rangers, to be broken and forgotten, 'when my uncle dies, for lack of GAME AND Vi CAtlDLC one who would care. And Vncle Kthan seemt severe and hard, but It grieves him all the time. His only son wat not good man; he lives abroad with bis wife, who wat an ae tresa before ho married her. You knew that?" at he moved. "I heard something of It tn the vil lage." Lestrange admitted gravely. "Please do not think me fond of got sip; I could not avoid It. But I should not have Imagined this a family likely to make low marriages." "It never happened before. I never saw that cousin, nor did Pick; but be was always a disappointment, always. Vncle Ethan has told me. And alnce he failed, and Dick falls, there It only me." "You!" She nodded, her Hp quivering. "Only me. Not at a substitute I am not fit for that but to find a sub stitute. I have promised my uncle to marry the first one who It able to be that." The tller.ee was absolute. Lestrange neither moved nor spoke, gaxlng down at ber bent bead with an expression blending many shades. "It Is a duty; there Is no one ex cept me. she added. "Only sometimes I grow to dislike it too much. I am so selfish that sometimes I hope a sub stitute will never come." Her voice died away. It was done; she. Emily Ffrench. had deliberately confided to this stranger that which an hour before she would bave be lieved no one could force from her lips In articulate speech. And the neither regretted nor was ashamed, although there was time for full reali zation before Lestrange answered. "I did not believe." he said, "that such things could be done. It Is non sense! It Is the kind of situation. Miss Ffrench, where any man Is Justi fied In Interfering. I beg you will leave the affair In my hands and think no more of such morbid self sacri fice." Stupefied, Emily flung back her head, staring at him. "In jour hands?" "Since there are none better. It ap pears. Why." his vivid face questioned her full and straightly. "you didn't Im agine that any man living could hear what you are doing, and pass on?" "My uncle knows " "Your uncle is not for mo to crltl- "You Are elzo.

"Tho tubttltuto" "There won't be any tubttltuto," re plied Lestrange with perfect coolness "I shall train Dick Ffrench to do hla work." "You" "I can, and I will."

Bit of a Scotch Puzzle Becauae Scotch Policeman la Not Po lloeman en Sunday ' et Question Uns.ttieu. When It policeman not a police man? Tblt It a question that has 10 rlously agitated the Scotch players appearing In "Bunty" at tho Comedy theater, Now York, alnce they re ceived letter from a distinguished resident Scotchman. In tho letter bo objected to the use of tho word "po liceman" In "Bunty," and auggoatod that "bailiff" or "sheriff" bo used In stead. "Policemen," bo Insisted, would never bo beard In Scotland. Scotch policemen, In certain com munities, do not work on tho Sabbath.

It wat the touch needed, the anti dote to sentiment Emily laughed with him. laughed In sheer awitehl.r and relief and leap of youth. "You will be gentle poor Dickie!" "I'll bo gentle. Ho la coming now. I think" He took a ttep nearer her "You will leave thla In my car, whol ly? You will not trouble about tubttltuto?" "I will leave it with you. But you are forgetting your own doctrtno; you are taking some ono olse't work to do." " Pardon. I am merely making Ffrench do hla work. I have teen a little more of blm than you perhaps know; I understand what I am under taking. Moreover, I would forget a great many doctrines to set you free." "Free?" she echoed: the had the sensation of being suddenly confront ed with an open door Into the unex pected. "Free." he quietly reasserted. "Free to live your own life and draw un hampered breath, and to decide the great question when It cornea, with thought only of yourself." She drew back; a prescient dismay fell sharply across her late relief, a panic crossed with strange delight. "Hot off." called Dick, emerging from the park. "I made Anderson take him down with the limousine. At least.

"When I'm not using him, he's employed as one of the factory car testers; and when we're racing I give Mm the wheel If I want to fix anything. However. I'm obliged to that steering knuckle for breaking here. Instead of leaving mo to a long wait In the wilds. Come down to the shop tomorrow at six. and j Rupert and I will even up by taking you for a run." "Who; me? You're asking me?" "Why not?

Simple Precautions Housewife Should Take to Insure Satisfaction In Itt Use Fierce Heat Always to Be Avoided. The cooking done In casseroles has several Important advantages over that of the ordinary kitchen vessel. The dishes are without the metal taste which so of leu contaminates common pots and puns As the cook ing it slow and thorough, the nutritive values of food are preserved and the perfection, of their flavor Is therefore concentrated. The ornamental appearance of the various dlthea used permits serving the viands In the very utensils lu which they were cooked, which la tremendous polut when the dlah needs to bo eateu very hot. Food can be put away In th casserole without dan ger of changing color or taate. as would happen If It were left to chill In a metal vessel. The earthenware of which tha dishes are made la not open to the acid Influences of fruit, and therefore Is without the possibility of any noxious change. The enamel of the In I lrf doea not scale off. It Is easily kept clean, and so food pre pared In the casserole Is clean aud sweet The pretty marn-.lte for soup-mak ing, the larger and smaller pots and shallow pans and plates. In every slse, can be bought cheap hi many depart ment storts. Among the many shades of brown there are soma green tones these vessels of French make which are very effective on the table. Some dou'ta are involved In the prop er care of the charming utensils. Before using them for the first time the dishes should be soaked In cold water for some hours, as this will help to keep them from cracking on their first exposure to heat. Never put the vessels on the hot stove or In the oven without first putting In water or fat Do not put them roughly on a metal surface or set tlieni when hot on a metal table. A fierce bent Is never desirable, and so even If the flame of the top of the stove Is low It Is best to put an asbestos mat under the vessel used. Many mure thing for the preserva tion of these toy like cooking vessels might be said, and for young house keepers and girls who want to learn how to cook In a dainty and perfect manner they are certainly more inspir ing than the common cook pot pan and kettle. Splctd Grapes. Squeeze the pulp out of the grapes and cook It a few minutes until you can press It all through a sieve. Ke Ject tho,seede. welsh tho pulp and skins, and to each pound of fruit al low three-quarters of a pound of sugar, one-half pint of vinegar, one half tablespoonful of ground cloves, one-half tablespoonful ground cinna mon, one-half tablespoonful of all spice and one-half tenspoonful of gin ger. Put all this Into a preserving kettle, stir It frequently and rook It slowly for an hour. Put It Into glasses, let It stand for two or three days and then cover with paraffin In the usual way. Pineapple Pudding. Take a pineapple, cut several slices and line a quart mold with them Chop the rest of the pineapple Into small pieces In a chopping bowl that will hold the Juice. Fill a cup with the chopped pineapple and another cup wl'h the Juice. Heat the yolks of four eggs and mix the pineapple Juice with them. Put this on the fire and etlr until It thickens, then beat It smooth and add the chopped pineap ple. Allow tt to cool. Whip half a pint of cream and stir It Into the egg and pineapple. Pour the mixture Into the mold with the slices of pineapple Let It stand for an hour before serv ing. Pickled Oysters. Cook one quart of oysters In their liquor till plump. Remove the oy ttert and add to the liquor half a cup of white wine vinegar. Skim at tt bolls, add one teaspoon of salt, two blades of mace, ten allspice berries and a few gralnt of cayenne pepper. Boll five minutes. Pour the liquor over the oysters, when cold seal In glass Jart and put tn a cool, dark place. They will keep two weeks. Serve with slices of lemon floating in plate they are served on. To Beat Carpcta. An excellent device In rug cleaning Is to put old (probably saggy) wire mattress upon the ground and lay tha rug or carpet to be beaten upon It, tayt the Modern Prlscllla. This will keep tho rugs off tho ground, thus allowing the dust to go through tho spring! without settling upon tho other tide of the rug, at It the case when the article to be beaten tt spread on the ground. Pork Chopt With Tomato Sauce. After washing and drying the pork chops next dip them In beaten eggs and rolled crackert and fry In butter. Sauce: Cook one can of tomatoes, strain. Blend together two table spoons flour to 1 V tablespoons but ter. Pour boiling tomato Juice over blended butter and flour. Pour over pork chopt. Very nice. Rlct Muffins. With a fork break the lumps out of one cupful of cold boiled rice. Add one cupful of milk, then a beaten egg and last one cupful of flour sifted cut In one-fourth Inch slices wkolt with a teaspoonful of baking powder and a pinch of salt Baki In hot gem pant and you will have a delicious gem, crispy outaldo and moist Inside. Removing Cresset In Clothes. Clothet packed away during sum mer are often very creased. To re move tho creases hang tha articles on a clothet lne In the bathroom, thut tho door and window, turn on the hot water tap to fill tho room with steam, and loave tho clothes for an tour or two. Afterwards dry In the open air If possible. msassL vino sift arl' trellis for home vineyard .. .. a-. -M UJau Contrivance Holds Vino Out of Way of Cultivation and Permits One to Past Between Rows. A grapevine trellis described by h0 Rural New Yorker, from which this cut and description are reproduced, haa a middle wire which goes through holes in the posts. The middle slot sets down over tho middle wire, while the two outside wires run through slots In the cross arm for two Inchet from the ends. The cross srms are t by 4 Inches for all but end cross arms, which ar fV y. - -m v'.y &i fly .. H n & r : ' d f i K Trellis for Qrspevlno. 1 by 4 Inches. The cross arms are nailed to the posts, and should be braced by wire running from Ibo end of the cross arm. and then down to i the post IS or 20 Inches below the arm. The stem of the vine Is brought to a hcUM tt Utile shove the level of the middle wire ami tied to tt. ; Two canes that develop near tills , level the present ear are left next fall, and next spring aro lint to the rUlit and left along this middle wire. Two short spurs are left near this lo cation to furnlfii bearing wood for the year following, and all else removed. 1 Tho shoots developing from these grow out and over the outside wires, making a canopy, the fruit hunting In a natural position beneath, and pro- tected from the sun. ' This trelil-i simulates tho position of tho wild vine more nearly than any other. The growth Is out of the way of cultivation, guod drainage Is In surxl. and one can pass readily from row to row. This trellis Is recom- j mended for the homo vineyard 'the expense of construction makes It pro hibitive commercially except for fancy tnt.le varieties. ! SELECTION OF ORCHARD SITE Common Error It to Choose Soli That Is Too Rich for Applss Wood ! Is Not Wanted. j A common mistake In the Selection, of a site for the apple orchard tract, lance, or small. Is that of choosing a . soil that Is too rich; that will cause abundant growth of wood, but mighty little fruit. In the valley In which the writer's ranch Is located Is an orchard ' of mature apple trees, as pretty a sight from a standpoint of foliage as one could ask to see, which has lately been felled becauae It did not deliver the goods. The tract Is fat, rich and well wa tered. Within a gunshot of this tract la a block of winter Neliia pear trees of the same ago that for several years past have grossed their owners close to a thousand dollars per acre, says a writer In an exchange. Never was more emphatically demonstrated the fact that soil can be too rich for i I'l'ira uui out iiir ienrs. onilin a mile of these unproductive apple trees, en thinner and lighter granitic soils, the apple trees bear pnillfically to the point of breaking down.
