you to believe mel never thought of that"
The manifest sincerity with which this
was said and the ingenious blush that ac-
companied the explanation were irresistible.
Edna Barsom burst into hearty laugh,
which Cortrell was not long in taking up
But at that moment the street door was
opened, and then the door of the library,
where these two stood laughing over an old
pair of gloves, and the servant girl, in her
directed and distinctive manner, pro-
nounced, Mister Bristol"
There was nothing really embarrassing in
the situation; the embarrassment was only
apparent. The event might have been diff
ferent If all the persons concerned had
looked at tn case as 1t should have. been
looked at But while the girl with char
acteristic candor, saw only the reality,
Cortrell was, for some reason, impressed
chiefly by the appearance. Bristol, per-
haps naturally, reflected only Cortrell's
view.
He at once walked to the table and lift
"a present? Won't you let me into your
joke"
GLOW are you, Bristol?" Cortrell said,

forgotten me-"
The worst of it was that Edna was still
laughing. And there were the gloves. Bris-
toll appeared to thing that the situation de-
manded display of quiet dignity"

he said bowling slightly May ask again
what amuses you so much?
Edna became serious in a moment, and
as she became serious, she became angry.
'It isn't very much of a joke, Mr.. Bris-
toll" she said IF you insist on having 1t,
however, Mr.. Cortrell has just found an
old pair of gloves of mine and has brought
them to me- because it didn't occurto him
to put them in the fire. Isn't it funny?"
81 hardly think So" Bristol answered.
"Perhaps I might appreciate the joke bet
ter If l knew where Mr.. Cortrell found
these gloves"
AS Cortrell opened his mouth to make
some answer to him, Edna, putting up her
hand, said: "This is my business. I am
afraid you will not have an opportunity
of fully approaching the joke, Mr.. Bristol,
until you manage to get yourself into a
better humor for that sort of thing"
She very carefully folded up the gloves
and laid them behind the clock on the
mantelpiece while Cottrell stared at her
and Bristol stood biting his neither lip.

I There was an awkward pause for some
moments, until Cortrel said something
about going.
"Why, I've hardly had ten words with
you yet, Mr.. Cortrell," Edna said, with
q wicked glance at the other man. please
don't go yet Perhaps-perhaps I may find
something of interest to show you, If you'll
wait little longer"
"Then perhaps I had better call at some
other time,'' Bristol said.
1t was very awkward situation indeed.
Bristol could not stay after this last OBJ
servation of his, and Cortrell could not
run away after Ednas pressing invita-
ton.
Half an hour later Cortrell said
what did you mean by saying that you
, might find something interesting to show
me?"

She ran out of the room and after a
little while came back holding something
behind her.

"Of course you were going to send it
to me?"
"Of course I was"
"BY the way. didn't it occur to you to
burn it?'
Then both burst out laughing once
more.
AS for the story that Bristol and Coie
trell had high words after that, and that
mutual friends with difficulty prevented
them from fighting a duel, there never
was anything in it. Bristol was sensible
man at bottom, even though irascible at
times He made some sort of apology to
Edna Barsom for his exhibition of tenn

But the Briltol-Barsom wedding wad
postponed in quiet way. 1t never came

instead, though not until a year after the
incident of the Mephisto cap.

This highly refined, pure cream of tartar-the
product of the healthful grape-is the material from
which a pure and healthful baking powder must be
made. More expensive, of course, than other ingre-
dents frequently used, but being healthful itself it adds
healthfulness to the food instead of degrading it as do
the baking powders that are degraded in quality to
meet a degraded price.
