you should make such a fuss about its

The Prince smiled. He momentarily
was becoming careless and eaSy-going in
manner; there was something of the nor
NAL noncha1ance in his voice. ''Some
people credit the opal with magical
properties" he said. "Others, who are
superstitious, call it unlucky. For me,
its value is wholly sentimental"
With that he put it in his pocket, and
the throng gradually dispersed. Melni-
kof wanted to find the police engaged in
beating the underground of the wood.
He still was wishful to stop any further
investigation by the authorities. Car

when Prince Boris was speaking of the
limitless privileges of the Russian gran
dees, a story he had heard in Saratoff of
the great man who lived at Bannofka
came back to him.
A girl, reputedly beautiful, had been
| flogged by order of the insulted grandee
because she dared to despatch a COM
plant by post to St. Petersburg. Some
bureaucrat there had sent back the letter
to the local ruler, and the young woman
was publicly knouted. 1t might be this
same Prince Boris MelnikOf who had
perpetrated the inhuman deed Arm

choked him. To see the Russian again
in the company of the woman he loved
was too intolerable to be borne.

At first the stranger puzzled him. He
was irritable with himself for giving the
incident a moments consideration. In
crowded station, why should he pick out
solitary individual, ensconced behind a
newspaper, and seek to recollect where he
had seen him before? He laughed harshly,
and surprised his friend by saying:

Defied the Goddess Pele

Queen Kapiolani, a noble looking
chieftainess of the island of Hawaii,
was one of the first converts to Chris
tianity. She was over six feet tall,
magnificent specimen of Hawaiian
womanhood, with the naughty air of
the ancient nobility"
She had immense power over her
fellow countrymen and resolved on be-
coming Christian. if possible, to
break the hold of grinding and de-
grading superstitions which had long
enslaved them. She knew that in no
other way could she do this so well as
by defying Pele, the goddess of the
awful volcano of Kilauea, who had her
abode in the very crater itself.
Her approach and her defiance were
most dramatic, for she wished to i'm
press her awe-stricken subjects with
the powerlessness of Pele and the ON
impotence of the true God. Slowly and
in state she made her way up the
mountainside. while the people, trem-

terials are lost. In the cooking of
both the chestnut and the potato by
baking the effect is much the same as
by boiling; the natural water of the
nut. and of the tuber is partly expelled
as steam which swells or cooks the
starchy particles.
Chestnuts lose but little of their nu-
tritlve constituents when boiled, but
they are best baked or roasted, as di-
etetically also is the potato. 1t is a
pity that the chestnut is not appreci-
ated in this country as it is in France,
where the peasantry- find it a very
sustaining and agreeable food. There
are enormous quantities of food in
the shape of chestnuts wasted in this
country and yet it is a particularly
economical form of food, for given
area of ground, it is stated, produces
the maximum amount of food possible
when it is planted with chestnut trees.
And so the man with the chestnuts on
his red-hot tea tray conveys a lesson
which might be taken more seriously
than it is
