MAKING GOOD PASTRY.
II People Will Eat Pastry. Delicacy
Must Be Very Carefully Prepared
Some Directions.

Good pastry is not difficult to make
II few simple rules be followed.
or course, we all know tina; pies are
not, strictly speaking, as healthful for
dessert as fruits or simple puddings.
Still when made properly with the
best of materials, any well-resulated
stomach ought TO be able TO digest
them, il not eaten more than once a
Gay.
Men. particularly, are very fond OF
pie. and heartily indorse the senti-
ment of the :ste Eugene Field which
hc expressed in the following lines:
Your favored creams and ices.
And your dainty angel-food.
Are mighty fine devices
To legale the dainty dude;
Your terrapin and oysters,
With wine 10 wash EN- down.
Are Just the thing for roysterers
When painting of the town,
No flippant sugared notion
Shall my appetite appease.
Or bate my souls devotion
To apple-pie and cheese!
Pastry is either plain paste. or puff
paste, according to the amount of but,
ter worked into it, says Belle Estes,
in the Prairie Farmer. The plain
paste is used for pies and also for
the under crust of pies. and the puff
paste for the upper crusts of pies. for
patties, tarts and cheese straws.
Puff Paste.-Wash one cup OF but,
ter; work one tablespoonful into two
cups of -four. NIoisten to stiff uough
with cold water Knead on Toured
board. Cover and let stand five min
the butter. Roll and fold again.
Continue until the paste has been
rolled and folded five times. Let II
stand five minutes until you gst your
pans ready. Then make your pie in
the ordinary manner with upper and
lower crust. However, | prefer to
use the plain paste for the lower crust
and the puff paste for the upper. II
there is any of the paste left it may
be kept sweet and good four or five
days, by rolling in a piece of cheese
cloth or an old napkin and putting 1t
in cool place. If you do not care
to keep it over, make of the puff
paste some cheese straws or some
tarts.
To make the cheese straws. which
are delicious, roll the puff paste one
fourth of an inch thick: sprinkle one
half of it with grated cheese; fold
over and roll out; repeat twice. add
ing cheese each time. Then cut in
strips six inches long and one-third
of an inch wide. They will almost
double in thickness in baking.
Make tarts by cutting three-inch
squares out of the paste; brush over
with water end then bend the four
corners toward. but not quite to the
center; bake and when cold put jam,
jelly or apple filling in the center.
The apple filling is inexpensive. deli
cious ard easy to make. One cup of
fine apple sauce, two tablespoons Of
butter, melted, onc-fourth cup Of
sugar, one-half teaspoonful of lemon
Juice.
Plain Paste-Mix thoroughly one
half cup of lard with one heaping cup
of -four and a 1itt}e salt, then add
only enough cox? Water to just hold
the dough together. Roll out half
the dough at time on a lightly
Toured board. All should be done as
quickly as possible. as the crust will
be more tender and flaky.

CHAPTER xxI,.-cont;nued.

S'SVb ZEN A\b.-NoutonUGo.
Much had been said regarding the
motives of his client, but Mr.. Stevens
cOntended they were manifestly as
great on the part of the defendant.
There was no doubt he had become
enamOred with his brothers wife and
he had decided to possess her for
his own. He had repeatedly urged
marriage. but not until after the
Geath OF Lenora, who had been muir
cered to remove SO dangerous wit
ness to his past. When he became
convinced that the workman called
Primus Edes was no other than the
true Vane Hamilton. there was but
one course open. He must renounce
his claims or remove the true owner.
He chose the latter. The shot was
either fired by his own hand or by his
emissary. Solomon Marks. who was a
mt tool for any such emergency.
The Judge was very impressive In
his summary of the case. which he
said was different from any other on
record. He not only reviewed the
evidence on both sides as usual. set
ting forth the claims OF each and ex-
planning corrOborating and collateral
evidence, but he spoke of the gross
charges which would be made after
wards of forgery perjury. and per-
haps murder, against the person who
sustained defeat. He solemnly charg-
cd them, therefore, to deliberate long
and wisely before deciding, that the
gravest conviction of duty and JUS
tice called upon the best and wisest
faculties Of the human mind to aid
them in decision like this, upon
which rested such great and unusual
issues. 1t was not alone question of
property, but of family and of life
and death. Therefore, let them delb-
crate well before deciding.
Two nights and a day passed be-
ore a decision was reached. and then
1t was in favor of the present incum-
bent of the Hamilton estates. who was
declared to be the true and legal own
'r, Vane Hamilton; and an order for
the arrest Of Henry Ashley, alias Pri-
mus Edes, was filed by the order Of
the Judge. upon the charge Of forgery.
perjury and embezzlement.
When the decision was made known
It would have been hard to tell which
face was more pallid of the two men
the one who had just been declared
guilty or the one who had gained the
suit.
For moment they turned to gaze
into each others faces, while a shade
Of acute regret passed over that of
tie one declared to be Vane Hamil-
ton, but on the other look of ter
rible anger rested.
