For Toilet Details,

A capital notion is a large case OF
fax linen, daintily embroidered, with
different sized receptacles for holding
gloves, wells, cravats, waist ribbons
and the hundred and one details that
nowadays go to make up well-turned-
out woman's toilet. Wells carefully
handled will last long time, whereas,
tossed into drawer without being fold
ed, and stretched out to their original
width, they scarcely last a week in a
condition one would term respectable.
The tendency of all these open-mesh
woven things is to shrink. The fancy
for the long gauze veil, with deep hem
border, grows apace. That these
spend quite half their life thrown
back over the hat in nowise Affects
their popularity. Indeed, for such
were they apparently ordained, the
smart French and American elegantes
fiagrantly adding an ordinary fine,
russian net for actual use.

Blake arrived at his ONCE at an un

Blake arrived at his office at an un
usually early hour on the morning
following his introduction to Jessie
Garden. He had spent a miserable
night, No sleep came to his blood
shot eyes, and for hours he restlessly
paced the floor.
II love her; my God, how love
her, but l also love John!" he ex
claimed again and again, as the night
hours crawled slowly away. what

give her up. By God, I'll not give her
up for any man; not even for John
Burt! Would John surrender the
woman he loved for me? What am
to do? I must decide before ! see
him. If tell John she is in New
York he will see her inside Of twenty
four hours. That will be the end OF
my hopes. She shall love me! She
must love me! l cannot live without
her! Oh. why did ever see her!"
In this unequal contest between
loyalty and passion in weak and
self-indulgent nature, passion won the
battle, but at a frightful sacrifice,
His judgment warned him that he
was doomed to defeat, but with the
frenzied desperation Of gambler he
staked everything-honor, friendship
loyalty, his business career-all on
the turn of card, and dared to meet
John Burt with treachery in his heart
and lie ON his lips.
Blake knew that John Burt was in
his private office, but for the first
time in his life he hesitated to enter
it. Prosperity had erected no wall
of formality between these two

pool, they had called each other

ing John Burt's leadership, Blake rec
ognized in his companion those traits
which attract allegiance, and which
hold 1t by unseen but powerful bands.
By display of tact which amounted
to genius, John Burt had aided James
blake without patronizing him, and
had forgiven his repeated mistakes
without offending him.
Blake strolled slowly through the
connecting Offices and entered the
large room reserved for customers.
Those who knew the famous oper'
ator bowed respectfully. Blake gazed
absent-mindedly at bulletin board
containing the early London and Paris
quotations. He read them, but they
had no meaning. He was thoroughly
abjectly miserable.

man, who had embarked on his first

CHAPTER xxI-contlnued.

General Garden applauded vigor-
ously and demanded an encore. The
trio sang several songs, and the old
soldier lay back In his armchair and
let his mind drift back to the hours
when the one of whom Jessie was the
image lifted her sweet voice in the
ballads he loved to hear. At his re-
quest they sang Douglas, Tender and
True" robin Affair."" "The Blue
Bells of Scotland" annie Laurie, "
and several old war songs.
Then Jessie proposed rubber of
whist, and in the cut she became the
partner Of James Blake. Jessie
played we'll and they defeated the
general and Edith.
You don't know what victory we
have wont" declared Jessie, her eyes
sparkling with pleasure. Papa and
Edith think themselves invincible,
and this is their first defeat. Let's
go to the conservatory. want to
show Mr.. Blake those lovely bulbs

Edith and the general to follow, she
escorted Blake to the great glass
house, with its arched roof and wilder
ness Of palms, ferns and flowers.
II know this is not much of treat
to you" ventured Jessie. 81 had for
gotten that you have spent all Of your
life in California"
But I have not spent all of my
life in California" Blake said. II
lived in California only seven or eight
years and had little chance to study
flowers. What little knowledge have
of flowers dates back to my boyhood
days in New England"
New England? What part Of New
England, Mr.. Blake?"

proudly. II was born in Boston, less
than half mile from where the tea
was thrown overheard. My mothers
name was Smith, so I'm Yankee all

Peach Liqueur.

Take mellow, full favored peaches,
wash but do not peel, slice, and put In
stone jar, which must be set for six
hours in a kettle Of boiling water,
Cover the peach kernels with brandy
and let stand till next day. Strain on
the juice from the peaches, taking
care not to squeeze the fruit hard
enough to make the liquid muddy.
Measure the juice and for each pint
take a generous pound of the best re-
fined sugar. Put sugar and juice to-
gether and let stand until next day,
then bring the mixture to boil, skim
thoroughly, and strain 1t again through
a bag of double cheese cloth. When
1t is cool add to it the brandy in
which the kernels have been soaked,
putting one pint of spirit to two OF
tyrup. Let it settle, and if not per-
fectly clear strain again. 1t ought to
be either clear pink, bright yellow
or a white, according to the fruit used.
Use clear glass bottles. Put in the
kernels, also a blade of mace, tied to
a bit of yellow lemon peel, and frag-
ment of stick cinnamon. Cork, seal
and keep in a dark place. The liquor
improves with age.

Mo Time Lost.

A mother, after days Of preparation
for weeks absence from home, sud-
denly remembered, after the train was
we'll under way, that she had left a
bottle OF certain well-known remedy
within reach Of the meddlesome little
fingers OF her three-year-old son. She
remembered, too, that there was moth
ing that the child loved better than
the aromatic contents Of that particu
lar bottle.
Hurriedly calling the porter, the
anxious mother prepared a message
to be telegraphed from the first sta
ton. It read:
Hide bottle Of Robble's medicine.
Left It on table in my ROOM"
An hour later she received this not
altogether soothing message from the
boys father:
TOO late. Bobbie got there first"

Shepherds plaid has made Its ap-
pearance earlier than usual this year.

drowned in the louder din of his pas
sion. He had not yet reached a point
where, with calm selfishness he could
voice the brutal aphorism of moral
and physical desperadoes: "All is
fair in love and war" He was eager
to clear himself of self-accused dis
loyalty to John Burt, and he clutched
at any defense which would serve as
possible justification or extenuation.
John Burt was his friend, the found.
er of his fortunes; the loyal, trustful
comrade to whom he owed all he was
or could hope to be. Blake knew this.
and yet, with the truth confronting
him and pleading for justice, the So
phistic arguments and evasions of a
vaulting passion came readily to his
lips.
How do know John loves herr"
he pleaded. HE has not told me 80.
He has sent her no word. He could
have done so easy enough. She does
not know If he be dead or alive. Is
that the way for a lover to act? II
John has lost her it is his own fault.
Perhaps he gave her up long ago.
Honestly, l believe his hate for Nor
ris is more to him than his affection
for Jessie Garden"
Thus quibbled James Blake. Awak-
ened love loosens a million eloquent
tongues to plead for self, and palsies
the voice which should speak for 9TH
ers. The love of man for a woman
is the sublimation Of his egoism; his
unconscious exaltation of desire.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.-This is
the season of the year when the pru-
dent and careful housewife replenishes
her supply of Chamoerlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is certain to be needed be-
fore the winter is over. and results are
much more prompt and satisfactory
when it is kept at hand and given as
soon as the cold is contracted and be-
fore it has become settled in the sys-
tenn. In almost every instance a severe
cold may be warded off by taking this
remedy freely as soon as the first indi-
cation of the cold appears. There is
no danger in giving it to children for
it contains no harmful substance. It
is pleasant to take-both adults and
children like it. Buy it and you will
get the best. It always cures. Sold by

this being the first time in some years
that the society has published its own
list. Under old conditions, the list has
not been very satisfactory, and this

larger than the old list, and is bound
in durable blue paper cover with
overlapping edges and stamped in
darker blue with a handsome design.
Good paper has been used inside and
the material has been rearranged and
put in proper order.
The most noteworthy thing in con-
nection with the announcements of
premiums and prizes is the fact that
the total offerings of the Minnesota
fair this year reach the sum of $780,
900, an amount not equaled by any
other state fair in the country, or any
local fair or exposition anywhere. A
large part Of this increase is in the
agricultural divisions Of the fair,
where thru additions Of new classes
and extra premiums and the enlarge
nent of old offers, there is an in
crease of some $4,000. All these di-
visions of the fair have been care
fully gone over and the premium Of
ferings brought thoroly up to date.
The amusement program is very
strong, and two Of the standard
races have been advanced this year
to the $4,000 class, which will greatly
increase the interest in track events
