It Is no more trouble to make a chocolate custard than it is a plain one, and the chocolate is a change. Children especially enjoy a custard made in this way. The proportions are two cupfuls of milk, one ounce of chocolate, two eggs, sugar to taste, usually about three tnblespoonfuls, a pinch of salt and half a teaspoonful of any preferred flavoring. Melt the chocolate in a double boil er. Pour the milk in and let it come to a boil. Beat eggs, sugar and salt together, and pour the boiling milk over ;he mixture and strain into cus tard cups or one large dish as pre ferred. Set in a pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven. I suppose you know how to tell when the custard is done. If not. then the test is a knife put Into the middle of the custard. If the knife comes out clean the Jish is ready to be taken from the oven, while if the custard sticks to the knife it must be left a little longer.—Exchange. a Cores While You Walk.

It waa like driving with a good-tempered blanc mange "1 shall be glad of any advice you can give me.” I said. Ho pulled a cord, and when the carriage stopped I got out and stood waiting. “Good night and good luck to you.' he said, his great white face shining upon me from the window as be shook my hand. "I have your ad dress. Drive on. Williams.” I might have been an old and trust ed friend, from the warmth of bls manner. Yet as the carriage rolled away 1 noticed that be raised the lit tle flap at the back to see that 1 didn't try to follow him. The packet arrived next morning. The notes I stowed away In an Inside pocket. The typewritten Instructions were unsigned and undated. According to them Craig waa a member of gang “D.” employed on a convict farm. In draining and Inclos ing a portion of moor by a stream known as the Black brook. Above the stream rose a small hill on which was an ancient cairn and atone circle that In my character aa a student would offer an excuse tor my pres ence. Though communication with Craig could not be regularly established, be knew that an attempt was in prepara tion. The sight of a man In a white waterproof loitering on the cairn bill would be his signal that all was ready. Prtncetown Arms as of Memphis Uni versity, U. 8. A., was slttlug on the cairn hill above the prison that held Julius Craig. To the rsr borlson there stretched the melancholy moors, deserted washes of rush marshes and stunted heather, broken here and there by outcrops of granite, that crowned the rolling ground like the ruins of a hun dred feudal castles ror Dartmoor Is a huge granite tableland, and on its barren surface no corn will grow uor tree flourish. Beneath the rampart of Its contain ing bills Ilea the garden of Devon, a land of orchards and pleaaant woods, of cornfields and pasture farms; but the moors have defied the farmer and remain the same sad wlldernees that prehistoric man inhabited tour thou- aatid years ago. You can see where be built hts hut circles, and set up his great stone aveuuea to the honor of dead cbleftalus. It waa an uncanny sort of place al together, and I shivered aa 1 eat In that lonely cemetery of the forgotten dead The huge prison waa built on the oppueite elope of the shallow valley, and the farm which the convicts had won field by field stretched down from Its walla to a brook al the foot of the cairn bill where 1 waa. tin the further edge of the brook a gang was at work Inclosing some new ground, and through my glasses 1 soon mads out the man I wae after. The last time I had seen blm waa on his own coach at Ascot, with the girls bussing round him like wasps after sugar, and there be waa digging trenches with a spade. It's a funny world! About twenty men were In the gang. On the outer side a couple of warders strolled up and down with rifles under their arms. There was nothing but a low hedge to stop the convicts If they knocked down the guards with their spades and made a run for It. But when 1 looked back across the wastes of the moor 1 un derstood. In a city a man tuay van ish In a crowd, but on Dartmoor be must tramp a dozen miles before be can find even a bush to bide blm. In clesr weather the mounted warders of the pursuit would ride him down In half an hour. The I’rlncetown Arms, a gray, weather beaten square of granite, was a pleasant country Inn standing near the center of the village It waa too early In the year for tourists. Indeed, as 1 discovered, there was only one man beside myself staying In the house, a Mr Tbomaa Hearne, whose address tn the visitors' book waa briefly London. When I camo down to dinner that night 1 found blm al ready seated at a little table with my knife and fork laid opposite. I wasn’t anxious to make new acquaintances, but I couldn’t very well ask them to lay another table for my benefit. Ho I took my chair, and wished him good evening as politely as possible. He waa a small, gray-bearded man of over sixty, as I reckoned, and be seemed as disinclined for conversa tion as ever I was. For that I thanked my luck, and worked through the din ner with my brain busy with one plan after another. It was just as coffee was served that bo asked the ques tion which startled me. ASPARAGUS IS HARDY Select Spot Where Plant Can Re main Permanently. Land Should Be Deep, Rich, Fertile, Moist and Cool, With Warm Ex posure—Plant In Rows the Sams as Corn, Etc. One of the best and easiest grown of our garden perenulale la the a» purasue plant, says Green's Krull Grower. It ran be started either from seed or from plants. If one wishes to raise plants to sell, plant the seed, but If asparagus Is wanted for home or market use it la better to sot out yearling seedlings. It Is Important In laying out the a» paragua plantation to select a placs where It can remain permanently for If taken proper ears of the plantation will last for twenty years. The old Idea wae the asparagus "bed." Tbs new Is to plant In rows the same aa corn, etc , so that for tho market gar den the cultivation can be done by burse. The land selected should bo a deep, rich, fertile, moist and cool soil, having a warm exposure, a gradual southern elope being preferred. It the land la originally bard and coarse, One of tho Beat Bunches. It should bo worked a year or two In advance by the raising of some thor oughly tilled crop, using aa much ma> nure as possible In the process. I .al» deep, fall plowing Is preferable, turn ing under a thick covering of well rotted manure. In the spring, when the frost is out of the ground, plow furrows from six to ten Inches deep and four foot apart If the sol! li nut of the best quality two or three Inches of well-rotted manure should be placed In the bottom of each trench and on this add a couple of Inches ol loose soil. Then place the plants In the trench three or four feet apart Cover with three Inches of earth, B not being well to cover deeper, an II takes too long for the yuung shoots tc push their way through. As the shooti grow the rest of the earth can be filled In around them by after cultivation When filled In, the crowns of th« plants should be about six Inches be low the surface of the ground, for II planted much less the roota will push up to the surface and Interfere with the cultivation. TWO ROOT SYSTEMS OF CORA Deep Cultivation Prunes Feedlnj Branches and Lessens Ability to . Take Up Plant Food. A knowledge of the root systems ol corn points out tho kind of cultlva tlon to be practiced. There are twe systems, tho primary and the second ary, says tho Breeders* Gazette. The primary roots aro the tine, flbroui roots, which almost completely nil th« top two feet of soli, crossing each otb er In the rows after the crop Is hall grown. Deep cultivation prunes all these feeding roots, lessen» the abll Ity of tho plant to take up plant food and moisture and results in the loss ol considerable water from the soil through evaporation. Deep prepare tlon of tho soil before planting and shallow culUvatlon afterward Is high ly desirable. Tho day of "plowing" the corn crop Is gone. The secondary roots aro the tough, fibrous roots usually oxtending from one of the lower nodes on the stalk into the soil. The sole purpose ol these seems to be to act as braces fol the plant to havo hold It upright Sudden fogs were frequent upon the moor, and when they came while the convicts were at work In the fields, the chance of escape was excellent; for the authorities did not chain their men, and the warders rarely used their rifles. They trusted to the huge moors upon which men who escaped were easily retaken, halt dead from fatigue and starvation. Craig would make a rush for the cairn hill. From thence It was my duty to convey him to Torquay, thirty miles away on the coast Once there he would know where to go, and my responsibility ended. A letter to the Torquay post office, under the name of W. Slade, would be forwarded to the writer If I required further as sistance or had any questions of real importance. That was all; but it was enough for me. Here was a scheme into which 1 could put my heart. There was no low-down swindling, no dirty work about it I felt as*gay as a schoolboy off for a holiday And so In three days’ time that ragged rascal Jack Henderson disap peared from London, and the woil- dresaed Mr. Abel Klpgsley, vaguely described In the visitors’ book of the “The landlord tells me you art studying the stone remains on the moor,” be said. “Is It your opinion that they’re Neolithic or Druldlcal?” I cursed the landlord under my breath. I bad told him my story, but I had forgotten ho might pass it on to others. “The latter, undoubtedly,” 1 said; though, if the truth be told, I had no opinion whatever. “I cannot agree with you. They were here before ever the Druids came over the sea. May I ask what arguments you adduce In support of your theory?" Everything I had read about those confounded stones slipped out of my mind In an Instant. There was no good trying to bluff him, for he prob ably bad the subject at hla lingers' ends. So I nodded my head wisely, and suggested It was a bit too big a subject to start after dinner. (CHRONICLE» TO RE CONTINUED.) Wheat, Rye and Barley.
