they may be equally bored with each
other. Yet until then in one way or an
other, Clarence will occupy the young
lady's vacant caprice and her school friend,
Mary Rogers, will be here, you know. to
divide his attentions, and" added Peyton,
with mock solemnlty, preserve the inter
est of strict propriety. Shall | break it to
her-or will you?"
"No-yes,", hesittated Mrs. Peyton, per
haps [ had better
Very well, ] leave his character in your
hands; only don't prejudice her into Il
romantic fancy for him" And Judge
Peyton lounged smlingly away.
Then two little tears forced themselves
from Mrs. Peyton's eyes. Again she saw
that prospect of uninterrupted companion
snip with Susy upon which each success
sive year she had built 50 many maternal
hopes and condolences, fade away before
her She dreaded the coming of Susy's
present thoughts and intimacy, although
she had herself invited her in a mere des-
perate dread of the child's distracted dis
contented eyes; she dreaded the advent of
the boy who shared Susy's early life be-
tore she knew her; she dreaded the ordeal
of breaking the news and perhaps seeing
the pretty animation spring into her eyes,
which she had begun to believe no solic-
tude or tenderness of her own ever again
awakencd-and yet she dreaded still more
that her husband should see it, too. For the
not entirely materialiZcd with her changed
fiber, had nevertheless become a coarser
seltishneSS fOStered by her loneliness and
limited experience. The maternal yearn-
ing left unsatisted by the loss of her first
born had never been filled by Susy's Thought
less acceptance of it; she had been led
asiray by the child's easy transference of
dependence and the forgetfulness of youth,
and was only now dimly conscious of find
ing herself face to face with an alien
nature.
She started to her feet and followed the
direction that Susy had taken. For Il
moment she had to front the afternoon
the plain beyond the gateway, but was
stopped by the adobe wall above whose
shelter the stunted treetops slanted as if
trimmed by gigantic shears-through years
of exposure. At first, looking down the
venerable alley Of fantastic, knotted shapes
she saw no trace of Susy. But half way
down the CLEAN of white skirt against
young girl sitting a bench in a neglected
arbor. In the midst of this formal and
faded pagcantry she looked charmingly
fresh youthful and pretty; apAa yet the
unfortunate woman thought hXW attitude
and expression at that moment suggested
more than her fifteen years of girhood.
Her golden hair still hung unfettered over
her short skirt still showed her childish
feet and ankles; yet there seemed underlined
maturity or IL vague WOmanlineSs about
her that stung Mrs. Peytons heart. The
child was growing away from her, too!
"Susy.'
The young girl raised her head quickly;
her deep violet eyes seemed also to leap with
a sudden suspicion, and with half mechan-
zeal, sccrctive movement, that might have

There was no installing Judge Peyton's

But for that he might have shown some
concern or asked an explanation. AS it

the buggy, also accepted these heart-rend-
ing revelations with comfortably knitted
broWs and luXuriOuSly contented concern
If she found it difficult to recognize in the
picture just drawn by Susy the quiet, gentle
and sadly reserved youth she had known
she said nothing. After silence, lazily
watching the distant wheeling vaquero, she
said:
And your father always sends an out
rider like that with you? How nice So
picturesque and like the old Spanish days"
,'Hush!' said Susy, with another ~
utterable glance. 1
But this time Mary was in full sym

equal to any incoherent hiatus Of revela-

"if you just stirred up the ponies a little
so as to make 'em go fast perhaps he
might think they'd got away from you, and
come dashing down here. 1t would be so
funny to see him--wouldn't it?''
The two girls looked al each other; their
ewes sparkled already with fearful joy
they drew long breath of guilty anticipa-
ton. For moment Susy even believed in
her imaginary sketch of Pedro's devotion.

for the slender slver-handled toy, and set

Official Food Tests.

Great interest has been taken in the
 investigations made by the United States and Canadian governments and by the different boards of health to show the purity or impurity of milk baking powders, spices, and other ar ticles of daily use in the culinary de- partment of our households.
 Just now the subject of baking pow der is claiming public attention. We all desire pure and wholesome bread and this cannot be had with the use of impure or poisonous baking powder There can be no longer any question that all the cheaper lower grades of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic acid.
 The official analyses by the United States and Canadian governments have therefore been studied with interest and have pretty clearly established the facts upon this subject. The United States government report gives the names of eighteen well-known powders some of them advertised as pure cream of tarter baking powders, that contain alum.
 The report shows that the Royal baking powder was found the highest in leayening strength. involving 1906 cubic inches of gas per single ounce of powder. There were eight other brands of cream of tarter powders tested and their average strength was ll1.5 cubic inches of gas per ounce of pow. der.
 1.-The Canadian government investiga- tiOns were of still larger number of powders. The Royal baking powder 1 was here also shown to be the purest and highest in strength, containing l29.32 cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce of powder. Nine other cream of tarter powders were tested, their av- craze strength being reported to be Se cubic inches of gas per ounce. These figures are very instructive to
 the practical housekeeper. They indi-
 cate that the Royal baking powder goes more than 33 per cent further in
 use than the others, or is one-third
 more economical. Still more impor-
 tant than this, however, they prove | this popular article has been brought
 to the highest degree of purity-for tc
 its superlative purity this superiority
 in strength is due-and consequently that by it's use we may be insured the purest and most wholesome food. The powders of lower strength are found to leave large amounts of inert
 matter in the food. The fact is em
 phasized by the report of the Ohio state | food Commissioner. who, while find ! ing the Royal practically pure. found no other powder to contain less than
 10 per cent of inert or foreign mat terS.
