GOT THE WRONG RECIPE.
Unexpected Result of ColOred
Cooks Efforts at Cake
Making.

1t has been said that the black serv-
ants OF the south have no objections
to cooking in their own remarkable,
though usually highly palatable, way,
saws the Troy Times. A northern lady
tried for long time to procure cook
who could read, and so make, according
to recipes, some of the remembered
New England dishes. She got one final
ly, a mulatto man, who could read.
She gave him a recipe for making cake,
written plainly on scrap of paper.
When the cake came on the table it
was not white cake, which the re-
cipe was calculated to compound, but
had a remarkable gold color. The lady
called the cook. did you make the
cake according to that recipe?" she
asked him. "Oh, yes, num-" did you
put in all the eggs?" "Oh, yes, mum" "
"Ppt in everything?" "Oh, yes, mum,
vinegar, too. l put in flour and sugar,
cause l knew them was required for
a cake. But l put in all them other
things, too. Vinegar, mustard, pep
per-" he enumerated, thoughtfully.
"Vinegar," cried the lady, mustard:
get me the recipe" On the back of
the paper was written a recipe for
salad dressing. "Well,' said her hus-
band, looking at the golden paste On
his plate, sit tastes good. It's the best
cake I've eaten in this house" And
the housewife looks only little dis
couraged. A year ago she might have
cried.

In the privacy of her own room Mrs
Brookin gave ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
20 rage that was consuming her. No
one who knew the cool, suave. tactful
woman of affairs would have recog-
cized her at that moment. She paced
the luxurious apartment With the fury

her crushed parasol and the emblems
of her mourning beneath her feet. Re-

Carry Your own Luncheon.

1t is very curious to notice how
the custom of carrying lunch on a
train is steadily coming back into
favor. At first everybody did it, just
as they now do in England. on ac-
count of the absence of dining cars.
When these were introduced the
really fashiona bic people Immediately
began to patronize them, and left the
lunch basket to those who could al
ford nothing better. Now, however, it
is considered the correct thing to
have ones lunch put up in dainty
basket by good caterer.

CHAPTER XII.-CoNTINUED.

"What is it we can do for this woman
who has been so badly treated? She
has no cause to doubt me. Tell me
how 1 may serve her" Her voice was
calm and insinuatingly conciliatory.
sShe demands a public marriage,
madam. Until this year she has be-
lieved herself less than the legal wife
of Raymond Holbin, though God knows
she never intended to be less than that.
She was his wife abroad, openly ac-
knowledged as such, and now she has
proof of that fact-absolute, undoubt-
ed proof of the highest character
affidavits of acquaintances, registers,
letters addressed to her in his own
handwriting and photographs. All
this mass of evidence is properly GER
titled to in duplicate. and she has one
copy of each in the hands of her law
yers in Washington and one copy here.
Madam, your son has lived with this
woman as his acknowledged wife, and
am assured that under Virginia law
she is his wife and would inherit his
estate"
"Ah! She wishes money!"
"No. She wishes to have her child
restored"
"Her child? Raymond's child?"
"Alas, madam, one word answers
you-yes!"
"He has not told me this" said the
mother. "It is all that he had left to
tell; his life has been a great, pain
Sul disappointment to me-"
at is likely that he has not told you
other things. He is preparing for
transmission information which he
thinks is good for a vast sum of money;
and there is the trouble, for believe,
as you sit before me, madam, that
having given me his sacred promise
his sworn promise to send it by Louise,
join her later and right all her wrongs
ne is really planning to desert her
again. And in that event, madam, he
would leave desperate woman be-
hind"
'What could such woman do then?
Who would believe her-a self-con-
fessed spy?"
That thought has already impressed
me deeply. l am satisfied now that
the woman's safest plan is to see that
he doesn't leave until he has met her
demands. And, madam, you have the
power to control him. At six o'clock,
unless l see you both earlier, shall
address an anonymous communica-
ton"

she was carefully righting the room,
her face was pale, but her old express
sion of resolve had returned, and
dangerous light shonc in her eyes.
You spoke of marriage" he said.
"Do you think Louise will insist upon
that? VIII she not be satisfied with the
cbild?"
"She will dictate the terms, not you
She is desperate enough for anything;
and / know what a desperate woman
will do to save herself" Raymond
turned quickly and looked at his moth
er. She did not avoid his questioning
gaze. "She will denounce us both to

for public policy would not compel
Frances to marry you to inherit her
property. 1t will not compel young
girl to condone immoral conduct for
which it would grant married wom-

Then we are ruined!" said Ray
mond. II shall look out for myself.

selfshness of the decision would have
been appalling to anyone but his
mother. She looked at him a moment, i,

lips.

stantly, and with a falsehood so in
genious that its use at that moment
would alone have proven her ability as
a diplomat. But hard as it is upon me,
great as is my disappointment, for
you the blow is heavier; | should not,
except under these circumstances, tell
you, as do tell you now, that Frances
and | have reached an agreement;
she has consented to carry out her
fathers wishes; she stipulated only
that you we're not to be informed of
this agreement until she chose to tell
you; she will not place herself in
position to be harassed or worried by
a lover now; her whole thought is on
the wounded soldiers" She saw the
sudden rush of blood to her sons face,
and then the pallor return. A groan
burst from him, and he turned away;
and therein was apparent the vast diff
ference in the natures of mother and
son; helplessness. weakness and sur
render was possible with the man; but
with the woman, though storms of ad-
versity might overwhelm her and
clouds darken her path, nothing could
long daunt her fierce, relentless sirit.
For her there was no such thing as
complete despair. Her time had come
in this battle which she was fighting
against odds; she approached her
despairing ally and laid her hand upon
his shoulder.
Raymond" she said, what would
you sacrifice to clear the way for mar
riage with Frances?"
He saw the calm. confident look in
her face, and breath of hope stirred
his fainting manhood.
"Anything-everything!" he said, at
length.
"If you will yield implicit obedience
to me-if you will be guided shall
clear the way for you. Will you?"
"Yes."

regarded. We have no friends; we

The Good Natured Queen.

A characteristic story is told of two
church dignitaries who were one day
vis-a-vis at a dinner party with Queen
Victoria at Windsor. One was a
courtly, polished cleric, high in her
majesty's good graces, the other a
blunt but important parsonage whose
rank entitled him to position on the
queens right hand. She talked to
him for some time, and then, turned

er. What is first to be done?"
Meet Louise here at six o'clock,
and take your cue from me. She
must be disarmed of suspicion"
From the moment Of his surrender
Raymond Holbin was ripe for any
thing his mother might suggest. 1t
was her mind that conceived the plan
to convince Louise that she would
be permitted to ride through the con-
federate picket line; that, under an
arrangement secured by Raymond
through friends in the war depart
ment, only a pretense of firing upon
her would be made. 1t was a plan
that would have deceived no other
than woman.
That six o'clock tea was the tri-
umph of brilliant diplomatist's ca
reer. Louise was forgiven, caressed,
received back as a member of the
family, her claims and wrongs ac-
knowledged, and full reparation
agreed upon. No one could have es-
celled Mrs. Brookin in the tender
ness with which she treated the now
happy woman. She blamed Raymond
openy for having concealed the truth
from her.
