"Now I'D have to walk, and I ain't
used to It, Hard luck!"
"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

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

head, staring at him.
"In jour hands?"
"Since there are none better. It ap

her full and straightly. "you didn't Im

rlously agitated the Scotch players
appearing In "Bunty" at tho Comedy
theater, Now York, alnce they re

resident Scotchman. In tho letter bo
objected to the use of tho word "po

that "bailiff" or "sheriff" bo used In

virile driver manager.
"I almost believe you could. the

he openly smiled. "It will bo hard on
Pickle."
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

"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. Rupert Is driving while Ander
son sits alongside and holds on; when
they came to the turn In the avenue,
your previous mechanician took It full
speed and then apologized for going
so slowly because, as he said, ho waa
an amateur and likely to upset la he

"Pretty fair." returned Lestrange
serenely, from his seat on the edge of
the ditched machine. "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

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? It's exhilarating"
Dirk removed his bat and ran his
fingers through his hair, gratification
and alarm mingling tn bis expression
with somewhat the effect of the small
boy who Is first Invited Into a game
with his older brother's clique.
"You er. wouldn't smash me op?"
ho beaitated.

"I baven't smashed up Rupert or

CASSEROLE WILL STAY
COOKINO UTENSIL HAS INNUMER
ABLE GOOD POINTS.
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

A grapevine trellis described by h0
Rural New Yorker, from which this

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

The cross srms are t by 4 Inches

of the cross arm. and then down to i

arm. The stem of the vine Is brought
to a hcUM tt Utile shove the level of

Two canes that develop near tills ,

fall, and next spring aro lint to the

Two short spurs are left near this lo

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

row to row. This trellis Is recom- j

expense of construction makes It pro

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
