did chance for you to get acquainted.
And-oh, yes! the committee wanted
me to ask you to furnish an angel-food
cake. Everybody said that the one
you took to the last sociable was the
best they ever tasted. You don't know
how many compliments l heard for it.
We'll, I must hurry along; I've lot
more places on my list yet. We got
the sociable up in such hurry, IL isn't
giving us much time. Well, I'll tell
'em they can depend on your angel
food then, Mrs. Archer. Be sure and
come early" Voluble Mrs. Wiley bus
tied away, still talking.
Margaret Archer came back from
the door, her pretty face wearing a
troubled look. She went directly to
the cupboard, and taking out the cook
book, nervously began turning its
leaves. Finding the page for which
she was searching, she bent above it,
studying its directions intently. 1T

It." she assured herself Il simply

And l won't say anything to Rob
about it.; | don't want him to know
what a little goose l am" Then she
closed the cookbook and began to get
supper.
1t was less than a month since Rob
Archer brought his bride to the old
homestead; but she was already we'll
enough acquainted with their thrifty
neighbors to know with what scorn
the acknowledgment that she could
not cook would be received. The fact
that she had spent all her time clerk.
ing in a store since she left school,
would seem no excuse to them.
There had been one other sociable
since she came to the neighborhood,
but fortunately her mother was visit
ing her that week and it was she who
made the angel-food cake that had
created such favorable comment. Mar
garet could cook vegetables very cred
itably; so with the pies and cakes that
her mother had left baked up when
she went home, she had gotten along
very well so far. But what was she
to do now? She must manage in some
way to live up to the reputation that
that angel-food cake had given her.
Her cheeks grew hot as she saw, in
imagination, the critical looks that
were bestowed upon each cake as 1t
was cut She never could face those
excellent housekeepers again If her
cake failed to bear the test; and she
must take one, for they were depend
ing upon her.
The next morning, as soon as Rob
was out of sight, she got the cook
book down again. It opened readily

Burnt to a black elnderl

She tied on her sun-bonnet and hast
ened out to the barn.
Fifteen minutes later she came back
with her apron full of eggs, and was
met at the door by a strong smell of
something burning. She rushed to the
stove, threw open the oven door, and
was nearly choked by the smoke that
rushed out. Her cake was burnt to a
black cinder!
She jerked it out of the oven, and
carrying it to the door. she scraped it
out into a pail. Then she looked rue
fully at the empty tin. IT must have
had too hot fire." she concluded. "Tll
have to make another"
The oven had time to cool down be
fore she had the next cake mixed up,
and she took care not to have very
much fire., She was very anxious this
time. and determined that this cake
should not scorch. Every few minutes
she opened the oven door and looked
at it. 1t raised nicely and seemed to
be in no danger of burning. At :he end
of the three-quarters of an hour it
was almost as white and doughy-look-
ing as when she put it in. She decided
that something must be done There
was not fire enough this. time; that
was sure. She would put a little wood
in the stove. She FASTENED out and
brought in a handful and put it on the
dying fire. Ten minutes later she care
fully opened the oven door to look at
her cake. It was about half an inch
in thickness!
Marguerite lips set in a determined
line, The spirit of her fighting ances-
tors was aroused. She would net be
conquered by a mere cakel
She was hot, and oh, so tiredl But
she went heroically to work again.
A little after 4 o'clock Rob came up
the walk, whistling. The threshing at
Smiths was finished, and he was home
early.
At the door he stopped In surprise.
Margaret. who was always ready 10
receive him, in the dandest OF after
noon dresses, when he returned, sat by
the kitchen table in a soiled morning
wrapper Her hair was disheveled
and sprinkled with -four; one hand was
done up in a white cloth, and two I'm
gers Of the other hand showed great
burns. Her head rested on her arms,
and she was crying bitterly.
Rob was startled. It was several
minutes before he could understand
what was the trouble At last. how
ever, with her tear-stained face hid.

out a history OF the days disasters.

at Il. It's q pity II eaA1 make one
more"
Ten minutes later Rob. enveloped in
q great kitchen apron. was busily at
work stirring up another cake.
IT'S lucky we have plenty Of eggs.
How many cakes did you make, any
way" he asked as he noticed the great
pile OF egg-sbeils.
"Fouri" Margaret looked foolish as
she answered. "You didn't know what
a silly wife you had married. did you,
poor boy2" She tried TO speak lightly,
but Rob caught the note OF wistfulness
in her voice. Margaret was very sensi.
tive about her deficiencies in the culln-
airy line.
Rob took the sweet face between
two very fioury hands and FASTENED
to assure her, for the twentieth time,
that he did not care the least bit In
the world whether she could bake a
cake or not.
That evening at the sociabie Mrs
Wiley hustled up to Margaret, exclaim.
ing, Your angel food cake was simply
delicious, Mrs. Archer. believe It
was even better than the one you
brought before, and that is saying a
good deal. am coming over some day
to have YOU show me how to do It,"
Margaret and Rob exchanged laugh
ing chances. Margaret could afford to
laugh then, but she registered a vow
that before the next sociable she
would be able to make an angel food
cake equal to that one.
And she kept her word. They al
most lived on angel food cake for the
next two weeks, and It seemed to Mar
garet that she never would want to
see one again; but at the end of that
time even her mother could not make
a better one.

CHURCH ARRIVES
HEAVILY SHACKLED
Man Who Confessed to killing Fos-
ter Parents Locked Up.

St Louis: William e. Church, the
self-confcssed murderer Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry w. Yeater of warrenton,
Mo. his foster parents, who was ar
rested q week ago in Philadelphia. Pa,
arrived in St Louis Thursday night,
accompanied by guard consisting Of
Shoriff George Polsten and J. B. Gar
Der. Prosecuting Attorney of Warren
County. j. e. Young of Warrenton, a
brother-in-law of the murdered couple,
also arrived on the same train.
At the Union Station the officers and
their prisoner we're met by a detail of
ST. Louis officers and the Central Dis
trlct patrol wagon. Attorney Claude
Ball OF Montgomery City, who Will de-
fend Church. was also at the station.
Church was heavily shackled to She.
riff Polsten. Leg irons were also used
as an extra precaution, to guard
against a possible escape.
At the Four Courts Sheriff Polsten
informed Acting Night Chief Young
and Chief of Detectives Desmond that
he wished Church to be kept in the St.
Louis jail for safekeeping. Within ten
minutes after his arrival at the -Four
Courts Church had been turned over to
jailer James L. Dawson and was in a
cell in the st. Louis jail. Church will
be kept in the st. Louis Jail until his
trial is set.
Asked why he did not take Church
to Warrenton for safekeeping. Sheriff
Polsten stated that the feeling in that
locality was very high against Church
and that If he was taken back he might
be dealt with severely. Sheriff Polsten
and Prosecuting Attorney CARRIER de-
parted for Warrenton Thursday night.
In order tnat Church may have as
small a chance as possible of escape.
Jailer Dawson placed him in the cell
which for almost nine months was oc-
cupied by George Collins, who was
hanged at Union, Mo-, last Saturday.
Churchs cell is close to the one now
occupied by 'Bill'' Rudolph.

clark's Missouri River Item Fails,

Washington: Representative Clark
of Missouri last week made an inef-
fectual attempt to tack on to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill an item
of 100000 for revetment and harbor
work on the Missouri river from it's
mouth to Boonville, Mo. Mr.. Clark
said afterward that he had no idea
that the amendment would be adopted
and it went out on point of order,
the point being that it was new legis-
lstion and could not be included in an
augmentation bill.
