THE DELICATE FLAVOR.


At one Of his famous little dinr .rs prom.
inent professional man of Washington was
greatly pleased with the salad, as were also
his. guests. Evidently it was partly meat
and partly vegetable, but the flavor was new,
distinct and understandable. This was 50
faint that one guest declared: TITS not =

At length some one suggested, says What
to Eat, that the chef be asked for the recipe,
upon which the host remarked: j
my man greatly dislikes being asked for
recipes. On this occasion, however, his van
ity may overcome him if we tell how greatly
we have enjoyed the dinner, and the salad

compliments.

would soon return, and that his busi-

II GOT HIM a LICKING.


Col. N. s. Jones, who presides over the
matrimonial bureau Of the probate court,
had his newspaper aspirations chilled in a a
moment when he was starting out in life. He
was living in the little town of Genoa, o.,
and the proprietor of the country weekly
asked him if he would not write "squib''
occasionally, says the Toledo Bee. The
colonel promised, az he saw an opening in
the newspaper field, and had long yearned
for chance to secure place in the profes-
sion which seemed to him to offer many in
ducements. Consequently he wrote up sew
eral items. Hard luck came at the start.
Among the first of his items was the follow
ing:
"Our esteemed friend and fellow towns.
man, Seth Bennett, ID the greatest man in
the world. He licked his wife the other
night and came out without scratch"
Hardly had the paper appeared on the
street before Seth was on tie lookout for
the colonel, and found him. Now all that
the colonel remembers of the fray was that
he gave Seth harder fight than Seth's wife
had done. But he severed his connection
with the paper Immediately. He carried
scars for weeks to remind him of his first and

CHAPTER XII.
THE BOOKKEEPERs CONFESSION.

THE BOOKKEEPER'S CONFESSION.
Late that same evening Sturgis re-
turned to his lodgings, after busy day
spent in working upon the Knicker-
booker bank case. He was tired and he
was 2erplexed; for, with all his unfag-
ging energy, his quick intelligence and
his plodding perseverance, he had come
to standstill in his investigation. The
Evening Tempest had appeared with no
further mention of the Quinlan case,
and with only perfunctory report of
the cab mystery, no attempt having
been made to connect the two, for Stur-
gis would: not consent to publish his
evidence until he was sure of complete
success in his undertaking.
AS he approached the house the re-
porter saw light in his window, and
inferred that visitor was awaiting
his coming. It was Mr.. Dunlap, who,
pale and careworn, was striding merry.

"Yes; read that" .... .-.. T..
At the same time Dunlap handed the
reporter letter.
Let me tell you about it first. After
leaving you this morning I went to the
morgue and saw the body. You were
right; it is Arbogast's.. I had been
only half convinced by your evidence;
but I now saw that you were probab bly,
right in all your other inductions, and
I became anxious to learn something
definite concerning the amount of Ar
bogast's defalcation. AS / could not
reach the books for some time, I called
upon Mrs. Arbogast, thinking I might
be able to rarn something from her.
You had not been to see her, had you ?''
NO" answered; Sturgis, gravely, II
did not think it likely she knew as
much about this matter as we do, and
I shrank from the ordeal Of revealing

ing description Of the alleged shoot
ing of Arbogast, it strikes me that
you are entirely carried away by your
enthusiasm; for, in your minute de-
scription of the path Of the bullet, at
a certain angle, of which you seem
to know the measure almost. to the
fraction of second, you overlook sew
:eral important things. Two shots
were fired yesterday in or near the
Knickerbocker bank. In, say you,
because here is a revolver with two
empty cartridge shells; here is a
black mark, which may have been
produced by the ricochet of bullet,

which may be that bullet. AS, how

two shots, you are forced at once to
assume that Chatham has carried
away the second one in the palm of

SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
WILSON sees no hope of future re-
duction in the price of beef. He
says that the grazing areas of the
western states are being exhausted
at an alarming rate; that the pop
ulation of the United States is in
creasing rapidly, while the supply
of beef is steadily decreasing; that
the consumption of beef is grow
ing larger every year, and that un-
less new grazing lands are opened
up, or some means found to check
the present reckless destruction of
the western grazing grounds, there
is grave danger of killing the cat
tie raising industry of the United
States. Accordingly he expects
prices to rise still higher rather
than to fall.
