come out and meet him. He thought it
not unlikely; in fact, OH second thoughts,
he thought it more than probable. But
she did not. A solemn-faced butler re-
ceived him and consigned him to the
care OF still more solemn-faced footman,
who informed him in hushed voice that
dinner was ordered for seven O'Clock,
and asked if Mr.. Fame would have cup
of coffee whilst he was dressing. Miss
Hawthorndean, he further added, had
already gone to dress.
Gerard accepted the offer Of coffee be-
cause he was very cold, and followed the
man up the broad stairs-up and down
which he had scrambled and tumbIed
hundreds Of times, feeling very much as
if he had come to be present at some great
funeral or at somebody's execution. Nev-
ertheless he noticed, with no small degree
of pleasure, that Miss Hawthorndean
evidently understood the training Of SER
wants. 1t was but natural, notwithstand-
ing his abuse of and grumbling at his
hostess, that he should take more pains
than usual with his evening toilet; and
seeing that his arrival had been late, it
was not surprising that he was almost the
last to enter the drawing room. He was
rather surprised to find the room so full.
Everybody was talking loud, and no one
heard the announcement of his entrance
or took any notice of it. All the faces
seemed strange to him. Only one face
stood out, with almost startling familiar
ity, from the crowd of strange ones-that
was the face OF the girl he loved, Gladys
Branscombe.

POPE LEO'S SUCCESSOR.
Members Of tn
the Cardinal Ramena andsa shonsF
Cemn hal k tn hon of a Pope 81.

Foremost among the candidates for
the throne of st. Peter are Cardinal
Rampolla and Cardinal Serafino Van
nnteili. Then follow quite number
! who are well within the possibilities.
1t is also suggested that there Is
chance that Cardinal Gibbons may
be chosen in the event the foreign
cardinals were sufficiently powerful
to stand out against those of Rome.
Cardinal Rampolla and Cardinal
Serafino Vannutelli are both repre-
sentatives of the conservative policy,
but are bitter antagonists of each
other.
The most probable liberal candi-
dates are Cardinal Bishop Agliardi
and Cardinal Priest Satoli.
The most probable religious candi-
dates are Cardinal Priest GOtti and
Cardinal Priest Angelo di Pietro.
Cardinal Mariana RampoIla del Tin
daro is the present pontifical secre-
tary of state, and was born at POlizzi
in 1843. For many years Cardinal
Rampolla has been active in affairs
of the church. having in addition to
his duties as secretary of state been
intrusted with the office of admins
traitor of the property of the Holy See
and archpriest of the Patriarchal Ba-
soiica of st. Peter. He has been close
to the Pope, and has been the one
man through whom the affairs with
the outside world have been con-
Quoted. There is. however, a tradi-
tiOn that a papal secretary of state
cannot become pope because of the
opposition his position of necessity
eXcites.
Cardinal Serafino Vannutelli and
his brother. Cardinal Vincenzo Van
nutelli. are both notable figures in the
sacred college. Cardinal Serafino
Vannutelii was born in Genazzano in
1884. and for a long period was the
papal nuncio at Vienna. Only re-
Gently he was appointed vice chan
cellor of the holy seat to succeed the
late Cardinal Parocchi, and it is sug-
gested he was designated for the post
full politically. He has been as near
iy as it is possible for a cardinal to
be an openly avowed candidate for
The papacy.
Cardinal Satolli was made a card-
nal while he was in America, being
consecrated by Cardinal Gibbons. He
served for many years as the papal
delegate at Washington.
Cardinal Jerome Maria Gotti is a

Whisky applied to fruit stains on
table linen will quickly remove the

Stains on knife blades may quickly
be removed by rubbing them with a
piece of raw potato dipped in brick
dust.
Glycerin is capital remover of cof-
fee or milk spots from white goods
Paint the stains with the glycerin,
then wash out the glycerin with luke
warm rainwater.
To remove tea stains pour boiling
water over them. If of long standing.
soak the linen in a solution of chlor-
ide of lime until the stains disappear,
then wash through several clean wat
ers.
A tablespoonful Of turpentine in the
clothes boiler will whiten the linen,
remove stains and render washing
easier. Rinse well and dry in the
open air.
In using cloves for pickles or pre-
serves, the blossom end should be re-
moved, as it darkens the liquid. 1t
will certainly spoil the color of red
cabbage.

college Of cardinals are impressive
and elaborate. The conclave must as
semble ten days after the death of
the pope.
First the mass of the Holy Ghost is
chanted in the chapel of St. Gregory.
Then the cardinals go in procession,
two and two, according to their rank,
surrounded by the Swiss guard and
singing "Veni Creator Spiritus," to
take possession of the cells assigned
to each by lot.
These cells are erected in hall of
the vatican communicating with the
Sistine chapel. They are mere frame
works of wood, hung with fringed cur
tains. Five are green in hue, because
their occupants were created by Plus
TX. The drapery of fifty-two will be
Of violet, because their occupants
are creations of Leo XIII.
On one side of each cell is a cur
tanned doorway, over which the car
dinals armorials are shown, and
dow. Each cardinal has a bed, ia
BILE and chair.
Three hours after sunset doors are
shut and walled up on the inside with
masonry. Guards on the outside
watch every avenue. The cardinal
camerlengo and the cardinal dean at
tend to this. The apostolic prothon-
diaries write it as an act of the con-
clave.
One door is not walled up. in case
some cardinal or conclavist must
needs retire because of illness. Such
may not return. There is a lock on
each side of this door The outside
key is with the Prince Savelli, heredi-
tary marshal of the church. The car
dinal camerlengo, holds the inside
key.
Each day at noon and sunset the
officers of the cardinals households
come to the square of st. Peter in
their masters chariots. There they
go afoot to the major domo of the
conclave, demanding meals for their

native of Genoa and was born in 1884.
He is the pope's candidate for the
papacy. and Pope Leo has repeatedly
referred to him as my successor"
and has shown in many ways that
he would be pleased to have his place
filed by Cardinal Gotti, who has been
an earnest and jealous worker. The
best part of his career has been in
South America, where he is greatly
beloved.
Cardinal Giuseppe Sarto. who is the
cardinal patriarch of Venice, is the
strongest candidate outside of Rome
He was born at Riese, in diocese of
Feriso, in 1885, and was made a cardi-
nal in 1893.
Cardinal Oreglia. whose full name is
Luigi Oregia di Stefano, was born in
Bene VagierTa, diocese OF l. .nuovi,
Italy. July 8, 1928 He studied at the
Academy of Rome and gained prOmi-
uence In theology and language. Later
he became Jesuit novice. He was
ordained to the secular priesthood in
1856 and was priest at the pontifical
court during the temporal power of
Pope Plus TX. In 1858 he was ap-
pointed an officer in chancery in the
Roman tribunal and in 1870 was papal
nur,cio at Lisbon. Three years later
Pope Plus created him a cardinal. He
is dean of the college of cardinals,
camerlengo of the Holy Roman
Church. archchancelIor of the Roman
university, project of the Congrega-
ton of Ceremonies, and. in addition to
other honors. is protector of about
twenty leading Catholic societies
throughout the world.

pended from a wire circle, the strands
being doubled where they join the cir
Gle and standing up above it about an

An Appetizing Dish.

Orange salad is an appetizing dish
for luncheon and may be prepared in
this way: Peel five or six oranges,
carefully removing all the white pith
and cutting the pulp in the natural
divisions, being careful to leave
neither pips nor skin on these little
divisions; mix together little very
finely chopped tarragon and chervil a
dessertspoonful each of brandy and
salad oil and a pinch of sugar, and
season each piece of orange with this
mixture. Pile the seasoned orange
on a dish and place it on ice for an
hour or two before serving it.

In the Kitchen.

In roasting meat, turn with spoon
instead of a fork, as the latter pierces
the meat and let's the juice out.
If a kettle or pot boil dry, pour
boiling water into it at once, for this
will prevent its cracking.
Add little turpentine to hot starch
and you will not find your iron stick
when you come to the ironing of the
linen.
All potato Feelings and waste leaves
c. vegetables should be burned. If
put in the dustbin they will decay and
help to create bad smells and fever.
A moldy or squeezed-out lemon put
into a dirty saucepan half full of wat
er and boiled for half an hour cleans
it perfectly and removes all odor.
For grease spots on mating use
fuller's earth. Make it into a thin
paste with water and spread quickly
over the spots. When dry brush off
the loose powder and the spots will
have disappeared.

dition of Vatican plat they have

secured, and are mostly accompanied
b. a big rundown collar, often With

of cardinals put themselves to shout:
The Jesuit cardinal is pope!" or The
cardinal of Westminster is pope!" by
which method other voices are attract
ed and the minimum majority of two
thirds plus one attained
3. By adoration-i e., when a min
imum majority of two-thirds plus one
of cardinals go spontaneously to adore
a certain cardinal of tbeii college.
4. BY scrutiny. @, when each car
dinal records a vote in writing secret
ly. A pope is rarely found by scrutiny
5. BY accession. e., when the
scrutiny having failed to give the min
fmum majority of two-thirds plus one
to any cardinal. the opponents of him
whose tally is highest shall accede to
him.
The first three ways are obsolete.
and these two-scrutiny and accession
alone need to be considered.
Their eminences take great care
that none shall overlook them while
they write and seal their vote.
Each cardinal in turn takes his fold
ed voting paper between the thumb
and index finger of his ringed right
hand holding it aloft in view of all.
So, and alone, he goes to the altar,
makes his genuflexion on the lowest
step; on the highest step he swears
his oath aloud that his vote is free.
On the paten which covers one of
the great golden chalices he lays his
voting paper. He tilts the paten till
the paper slides from it into the chal-
ice. He replaces the paten as a cover
and returns unattended to his throne.
At the end the last scrutineer takes
the folded voting papers one by one,
high and slowly. so that all may count

listed as a private in the Sixth Cav

Effective headache Cure.

Here is headache cure that is
said to be marvellous remedy and to
relieve the sufferer when all else fails.
1t is easy to make and easy to apply,
and 1t consists simply of black pep
per and camphor. Take quantity of
black pepper and put it in handker-
chief. Then fold the handkerchief
over so that the grains cannot fall
out and saturate the whole thing with
camphor. Bind this plaster" on the
head and lie down. In a very few
moments the headache will be re.
lieved and the patient will be asleep.
When the handkerchief becomes dry
saturate again with the camphor.
That's all. People who have tried
everything else say that this home
remedy relieves them quickest. At
any rate. it is worth trying.
