ooh, twas nothing but some brag-
CART countryman, knowing not to
whom he spoke SO freely and big in the
importance of his membership, dash
ing on to London, thinking the world
rested on his speed, and thus learned
how my advice had been scorned.
When met the king lie was all panic
and regret. He had conjured up the
devil easily enough, but knew not how
to allay him. He bewailed his mistakes
and called himself the most unfortu-
nate Of monarchs, eager to please, yet
constantly offending. He was in con-
trite mood, but that soon changed.
.'Tis my head they want said. DO
with 1t MS you please. If 1t is useless
to you, toss it to them; If useful, then
send me to Ireland, where shall be
out of the way, yet ready to afford you

swore he would concede them nothing.
He was done with unappreciated COM
plafsance, and now it was to be the
firm hand. They should learn who was

exists n firm hand, but 1t is concealed

may project the avalanche that will
overwhelm us ALL"
"And what will you do in London 2"
asked his daughter in an awed Wills

God knows! Had l the untrnm-
meled ordering of events would strike
terror into parliament, as struck ter

but If after that there was a similar
sneaking underhand surrender, why,
then the countryman would have my
head. as he hoped. fear there are
troublous times ahead"
Tired with long converse and the
jolting of the vehicle, STAFFORD sank
into troubled sleep, from which he
was Mt last awakened by the stopping
of the carriage in front of his town
house.

Frances, shrinking back to the table

A Word For Oatmeal.
Lecturing i'm London on "The Food
of the People," DR.. Robert Hutchinson
declared oatmeal to be zone of the
most excellent articles of diet, par
ticularly for children" He. pointed oat
that it is rich in fat. iron and phos-
pilates, and. properly prepared, TO his
mind it was food presented in a most
finished and digestible form. A great
deal had been written against it Of
late. the lecturer said. but the writer's
were wholly and entirely wrong. If IL
had been so bad the Scotch race would
have long since died out. Another very
excellent article of food for children.
according to Dr. Hutchinson. is skim
milk. People think all the goodness
is abstracted with the cream. but this
is not so-only the fat has. been re-
moved. all the proteids remain behind.
