THE HERALD, there, and I gave her brandy. She so ill that I wanted to tend for a doc tor. Instead she used the telephone. I did not hear the number, but I knew it must be to the man she spoke.

" I never saw him again, fiome- tlmee I wonder I f he was run over and killed, or If. when he found I did not know hla name and did not find any letters In the girl’s pocket he left me to bear tha blame. " I sent for a doctor, wbo In turn sent for the police. When I told them the story of the man with the fo r coat whose face I could not aee distinctly, whose name I did not know, and of whose address I was unaware, I could see they thought me lying. And when I told them the girl had not taken the elevator, I could see they thought It was a vulgar Intrigue.' “But the man with the fo r coat didn’t walk up," Neeland Barnes re minded him. “But the elevator boy denied having seen him," Malet explained. “I t was my word against his. Tbs record of the telephone call could not be traced. I made a bad witness. Nobody ldentl fled the girl, and as I admitted giving her brandy, the thing was treated In the papers as a drunken debauch, and I was marked as a Parisian decadent I t was my finish." • Malet sank down In hla chair. The sensitive face was marked by suffer ing. The stamp of realised failure seemed upon him. Bradney leaned for ward and put an arm about the bowed shoulder of the smaller man. I t was a protective, brotherly, action born of sudden sympathy and understanding. Bnt he had nothing to say. Malet shivered a little as a light wind swept along the little garden. He rose from his.chair and held ont hla hand to hla host "Yon havs made me forget and yon have made me remember,” he said. "I am grateful. Mr. Mllman." “But I cannot let you go y e t" said the other. "There should be some cedar logs already biasing In the drawing room.” He turned to the others. "We shall find It more agree able In the house.” He put his arm In that of the sculptor. "Never think yon are a failure,” he said earnestly. "Your Stonewall Jackson Is one of the few great things we have.” "Yon are saying that to hearten me,” Malet answered. "Am I T ’ Peter Mllman laughed. “Yon ahall Judge for yourself." Although the drawing room was a finely proportioned apartment and contained many beautiful things, Malet had eyes only for his marble group which stood near the window. He had never learned where it was, but It was this work he had believed to be his best He approached it almost nervous ly. Was he to find, after, all, that he only one of the second-raters? The group had been exhibited under the name of “The Settlers,” and repre sented one of those heroic American families of Colonial days standing at bay, facing death In the form of “King” Philip’s Indian warriors.

You can make Jellied peel from grapefruit oranges or lemons. Most people like the flavor and size of the pieces from grapefruit best when the peel Is to be eaten as a confection. Jellied orange and lemon peel are often nsed In place of citron In fruit cakes and plum pudding. In fa c t all of these peels are good for this pur pose, and for garnishes for desserts. Stored In tin or glass containers, the Jellied peel should keep In good condition for two or three weeks, so It Is safe to make a supply a little be fore Christmas, In anticipation of the holidays and on the chance that you may need a few Jars or boxes of the peel for last-minute gifts. The United States Department of Agriculture gives the following directions for mak lng all kinds of jellied peel: You will need for each 6 ounces ot peel, 1 cupful (7 ounces) of granulated sugar for sirup, 2-3 cupful of water for sirup, or enough to cover; ’4 teaspoon ful of salt; % cupful granulated sugar for rolling strips. Thick, soft, un blemished peel, from smooth fruit should be selected. Light-colored grapefruit skins are best. Orange skins may be bright or pale In color, but not russet or spotted. The peel should be weighed, rutber than meas ured. Cut the peel Into strips one-fourth to one-half Inch wide. Parboil three times, for half an hour each time. Use a quart of cold water for this, covet the pan partly, and drain off the wa ter after each boiling. The strips should then be tender. Handle them very gently to prevent breaking. Place the water, salt and sugar fot the sirup In a saucephn about six Inches In diameter, and stir until the sugar Is dissolved. Then add the strips of grapefruit peel, carefully ar ranged parallel to each other to pre vent being broken when turned. Cook rapidly for abont 20 minutes, then re duee the heat and continue to boll for shout 20 minutes longer or until the sirup Is all absorbed.
