And this Lord Unin's daughter
"And fast before her fathers men,
Three days we've fled together,
For should he find us In the glen,

His horsemen hard behind us ride,
Should they our steps discover.
Then who will cheer my bonnie BRIDE

But for your winsome lady;

The water-wraith was shrieking,
And In the scowl Of Heaven each face

And as the night grew drearer,
Adown the glen rode armed men,
Their trampllng sounded nearer.

Beef Juice is Nutritious.

Physicians usually sneer at the re-
puted merits of beef tea as an article
Of invalid diet, and declare that by nc
ordinary method Of manufacturing il
is any particular nutriment derived.
Beef juice is another matter, and that
may be extracted according to the
following directions: Have a juicy
piece Of beef cut one and half inches
thick from the tender part of the
round or the rump, taking away all
the fat. Heat frying pan and rub it
lightly with a bit Of the fat, just enough
to keep the meat from sticking, but
leaving, Of course, no fat in the pan.
Lay the beef on the hot pan, adding 8
little salt and cutting into it as il
heats. Press with knife and turn
over and over, but do not let it cook
much. Then take from the fire and
press thoroughly in lemon squeezer.
