Warning TO Housewives.

The average consumer OF baking DOW
der does not know that reaction occurs
In the process OF baking. Whenever a
chemical reaction takes place. the nature
OF the original materials Is entirely
changed, so that the substances which
remain In the food to be eaten are very
differsnt from those which composed the
bak--sg powder before baking. For this
reason. the statement that n baking
powder contains alum or cream OF tartar
Is worthless so far as informing the
consumer as TO what he eats. What the
consumer wants to know. is what goes
into his stomach. not what is I'm the can.
Food prepared with cream OF tartas
baking powder does not contain any
cream OF tartar. just as food prepared
alum. In the case of the high-priced
trust baking powders this bread residue

baking powders is eaten, the consumer

CHAPTER XVI.


II was the edge OF forest pool. and
slender. dark-haired girl bending
from the brink to see herself IN the
still water. Looking: she smiled-and

Below her. framed In green rushes,
was the reflection of a high-born maid

Gold was In the embroidery that stiff
fened her trailing skirts; gold was
sewn into her gloves, and golden
chains twined in her lustrous hair

her mouth curved into a smile as she
Gazed.
A sweet voice sounded up the bank,
calling, "Randalinl Randalin!r
Picking UP the branchful of scarlet
berries which she had dropped, Frode's
daughter moved toward the voice.
Are they about to go. Dearwyn?" she
asked the little gentlewoman who
came toward her around a hawthorn
bush. lifting her silxen skirts daintily.
Dearwyn shook her head. my lady

her incoming amid her following of
maids and of pages, of ribboned
wenches and baggage-laden slaves.
Gazing at her, Randalin's admira-
ton mounted to wistfulness. Were I
like that, should be sure of his feel
ing toward me-" she sighed.
1t was easy TO understand why the
Kings wife had been named "the gift
or the elves" Every lovely thing in
nature had been robbed to make her,

Good Story Of the Late Sir William

Good Story Of the Late Sir William
Vernon Harcourt-
With the death of Sir William Yer
non Harcourt comes revival Of story
which was told at his expense many
years ago In London. Three we'll
known politicians agreed to bring
the three best hated men In town TO
certain dinner party. No names
were mentioned. When the party as
sembled the first two men arrived
unaccompanied, each explaining that
the man he had invited had another
engagement. The third arrived with
William Vernon Harcourt, and then 1t
appeared that all three had invited
him. The story may be apocryphal.
but II illustrated the general dislike
that was entertained for Sir William
when he was young man. His I'M
popularity was due in great part TO
his habit of expressing unwelcome
truths combined with a somewhat dis
courteous manner and a way he had
OF regarding opponents with a min
gled pity and contempt that was mex
pressibly CALLING. As he grew older
these characteristics were greatly
softened.

Randalin smiled In sympathy, where
she stood little way behind the
young wife. awaiting the moment
when the King should have leisure to
discover her. She was still smiling,
when at last he raised his head and
looked at her over Elfgiva's shoulder.

the murdered Won Plehve as Russian
minister of the interior. In stature
