teen stone OF solid Done ana muscle,
who Spanned the doorway with his
broad shoulders and looked from one
of us to the other with a comey face
which was haggard with anxiety.
"AIr. Sherlock Holmes?"
My companion bowed.
1--WE been down to Scotland Yard.
Mr.. Holmes: | saw Inspector Stanley
Hopkins. He advised me to come to
you. He said the case, so far as he
could see, was more in your line than
In that Of the regular police"
"Pray sit down and tell me what is
the matter"
Its awful Mr. Holmes. Simply
awful! wonder my hair isn't gray.
Godfrey Staunton-you've heard Of
him. OF course? He's simply the hinge
that the whole team turns on. I'd
rather spare two from the pack and
have Godfrey for my three-quarter
line. Whether it's passing or tackling
or dribbling there's no one to touch
him, and, then, he's got the head and
can hold us all together. What am l
to do? That's what l ask you, Mr..
Holmes. There's Moorhouse, first re-
serve, but he is trained as half, and
he always edges right In on to the
serum instead of keeping out on the
touch line. He's fine place kick, it's
true, but then he has no Judgment, and
he can't sprint for nuts. Why, Nor
ton or Johnson, the Oxford fiiers,
could romp round him Stevenson is
fast enough. but he couldn't drop from
the twenty-five line, and u three
quarter who can't either punt or drop
isn't worth a place for pace alone.
No, Mr.. Holmes, we are done unless
you can help me to find Godfrey
Stanton"
My friend had listened with amused
surprise to this long speech, which
was poured forth with extraordinary
vigor and earnestness, every point be-
Ing driven hone by the slapping Of a
brawny hand upon the speakers knee.
When our visitor was silent Holmes
stretched out his hand and took down
letter "S'' Of his commonplace book.
For once he dug in vain into that mine
of varied information.
'"There is Arthur II. Stanton, the
rising young forger," said he, "and
there was Henry Staunton, whom I
helped to hang, but Godfrey staunton
is Il new name to me-"
1t was our visitors turn to look sur
prised.
"Why, Mr.. Holmes, thought you
knew things said he. Il suppose,
then, if you have never heard Of God
frey Staunton, va don't know Cyril
Overton eitiler?'
Holmes shook his head good humor
edly.
"Great scott!' cried the athlete.

MOTHERS MUST CARE
FOR THEIR APPEARANCE.

Mothers Of families are too apt to-
consider that their appearance Is OF
small importance. The girls, Of course.
they wish to have as pretty clothes -
they can afford to give them, but, say
they, "Who will notice what wear?"
SO they are careless about the neatness
of their shoes, the fit OF their gloves,
the fneness of their handkerchief. ETC.,
and present anything but dainty and
smart appearance.
Now, all this is mistake, and 1t IL .
worse mistake for the matron than 1t
is for the spinster, for it is likely to
lessen the happiness of those whom she
loves best When we look at a fresh
young girl we often notice her likeness
to her mother, and when we see the
mother dowdy and draggle tailed Wis
sion comes before us Of what the
daughter will be at the same age, ana
and the vision is unpleasing enough to
scare off any man who was just awak-
ening to sense of her charms.
1t is really wrong Of the mother not
to be as well dressed as she can right
" afford to be for her children's sake,
That she will thus also give pleasure to
her husband is a consideration which
should make the trouble entailed seem
very well worth while.

Sherlock Holmes was a past master
in the art Of putting humble witness
at his ease, ard very soon, In the pri-
vacy Of Godfrey Staunton's abandoned
room, he had extracted all that the por-
ter had to tell. The visitor Of the night
before was not gentleman, neither
was he workingman. He was simply
what the porter described as a "medi-
UNI looking chap" man of fifty,
beard grZzled, pale face. quietly dress
ed. He seemed himself to be agitated.
The porter had observed his hand
trembling when he hads held out the
note. Godfrey staunton had crammed
the note into his packet. Staunton had
not shaken hands with the man in the
hall They had exchanged a few sen
fences, OF which the porter had only
distinguished the one word time"
Then they had hurried off in the man
ner described. 1t was just half-past 10
by the hall clock.

BUTTER WEIGHT.
What One Observer Learned From n
Visit to q Grocery.

Live and learn. l heard q respect
purchases for the family. say to the
grocer, BE sure to give me butter
weight, now, for I've been u long time
customer Of yours" Certainly, Mrs.
MacLaren," he replied cheerily, you
are entitled to it II any one is" Yet
she bought no butter.
What is butter weightT inquired
when she had gone "Why, that's just
little sop we hand out to some Of
our old customers" said the salesman.
"Instead of making an exact pound of
anything they buy we make it a frac-
ton over, which tickles them nearly
to death OF course we are particular
to let them see they are getting more
than their moneys worth; hence we
keep their trade"
l next asked how the store made up
for this extra allowance. That's dead
easy" was the reply, "but as 1t is a
trick of the trade don't think we
ought to tell everybody" Perhaps
other customers receive short weight?''
"If they do. we don't let 'em know it. !"
Maybe your prices are just frac-
ton over tie market?" Never! We
sell cheaper than anybody Maybe
your goods are inferior?' At that he
quailed.
Referring to dictionary, ! learned
that butter weight is an allusion to q
custom of eXacting seventeen or eight
cen ounces or even more to the pound
of butter, possibly on the ground that
the water in 1t would soon evaporate
and bring the pound down to sixteen
ounces. In Scotland iron weight (twen-
ty-one to twenty-eight ounces to the
pound was used in buying butter

boiler a pint of milk cup and half

Cook for ten minutes, stirring almost
constantly. Then take off the fire, re-
move the vanilla bean and with dull
knife scrape the seeds and the soft pulp
from the inside into the milk, being
careful not to waste bit of the pre-
cious extract. Add one quart of cream
and bring the mixture to the boiling
point. Cool and freeze. Some cooks
think that two tablespoonful of gela-
tin dissolved in milk gives a velvety
appearance to the cream There is still
another method of bringing about a
smoothness-by using the whites of
three eggs beaten to state OF foaml-
ness, but not actually stiff.
When the vanilla bean is not used as
