CONCERNING BREAKFAST.

Good Bill Of Fare.

Breakfast either makes on mars the
day A nutritious, appetizing break
fast, perfectly cooked and daintily
served, is an inspiration; and the man
who has brealSfasted well goes to his
work with a zeal that the man who
has partaken Of a poorly cooked,
greasy, indigestible breakfast cannot
know, who gees to his labor with a
load in his stomach and on his spir-
its, TOO.
AS we live in the country, aim to
make the most of what we raise on
the farm, and produce appetizing
meals therefrom, and also utilize the
leftovers so that nothing be wasted.
In the first place, we always have
plenty of milk and cream. think
/ hear some sister say: How can
you manage to have cream when you
take the milk to the factory2" Well.
we save out a good mess Of milk at
night, and separate all the cream
from the milk, as a little cream puts
the finishing touch to so many dishes,
while the skim milk can be used to
good advantage in many other ways.
We think It more economical than
buying the extra meat and. other
foods we would have to, to make UP
a diet Of the same nutritive value.
l believe that workingmen require
hearty breakfast, but / would draw
the line at warm biscuit and too much
meat and fried salt pork, and as
rule prefer freshly cooked potatoes.
Potatoes will boil in half an hour, and
we like them creamed in the follow.

CHAPTER w.

A MEETING AND A CIsASHiNq
AS they stepped from the cage at the
surface PercIvRl became aware Of a
group-of strangers between him and
the open door of the shaft house
people displaying in dress and manner
the unmistakable stamp of New York.
For part of a minute, while the pupils
Of his eyes were contracting to the
light, he saw them but vaguely. Then,
as his sight cleared, he beheld fore
most in the group, beaming upon him
with an expression Of pleased and sur
prised recognition, the girl whose face
and voice had for nearly half a year
peopled his lovers solitude with fair
visions and made its silence to be all
melody.
Had the encounter been anticipated
his composure would perhaps have
failed him. Not few Of his waking
dreams had sketched this, their second
meeting, and any one of the ways It
had pleased him to plan 1t would as
suredly have found him nervously en-
barrassed. But so wildly improbable
was this reality that rot the daringest
Of his imagined happenings had ap-
preached it. His thoughts for the mo-
ment had been not Of her; then, all
at once, she stood before him In the
flesh, and he was cool, almost I'M
moved. He suspected at once that her
father was the trim, fastidIousIy
dressed man who looked as If he had
been abducted from a morning stroll
down the avenue to his club; that the
plump, rudy, high-bred woman, sur
Veying the west disapproVingly through
a lorgnon would be her mother. Shep-
Ter he knew by sight, with his big
head, massive shoulders and curious
ly short, tapering body. Some other
men and woman were scanning the
hosting machinery with superior looks.
The girl, before starting toward
him, had waited hardly longer than it
took him to eye the group. And then
came an awkward two seconds upon
her whose tact in avoiding the awk-
ward was reputed to be more than
common.
With her hand extended she had ut
tered; why, Mr." before 1t dashed
upon her that she did not know the
name Of the young man she was greet
ing.
The Mister" was threatening 10
prolong itself into-an RI Of excruciat-

SAND TABLE A BOON.
How to Prepare Simple contrivance
That VIII Prove Instructive
to the Children,


A sand table is a great educator for
children and furnishes them with un-
limited amusement. Simply make q
small low table from packing boxes,
with crossed legs, sawhorse fashion,
at each end, and two braces, one either
side of the legs at the place where they
cross, to hold them firmly in place.
There should be a little, narrow rim
nailed around the top Of the table to
keep in the sand. Now provide a kes
of clean, dry sand and little sand
shovel, and the children will do the
rest.
With the aid of a sand table chill
dren can get much clearer idea Of
geography than by oral description.
What wonderful mountains, lakes,
river eoures, valleys, etc, can be made!
or, the sand may be laid out to repre-
sent a park, using bits Of evergreen
twiga for trees and shrubs. A real
good farm can be laid out, with bits
OF sticks or toothpicks for fences, and
toy cattle may be turned out to Craze
In the pastures.
Children will amuse themselves for
hours with such material, gaining at
the same time certain dexterity for
fashioning things that Is certain to be
OF value to them later In life.-Farn
and Home.

They awoke one morning to And the
car on siding at the One Girl mine.
Coupled to IL was another car from
an eastern road that their train had
taken on some time in the night. Per-
ciVal noted the car with interest as he
paced beside the track in the cool,
clear air before breakfast. The cur
tains we're drawn, and the only signs
of life to be observed were at the
kitchen end, where the Whitehead
cook could be seen astir. Grant, por-
ter on the Bines car, told him the other
car had been taken on at Kaslo juno
ton, and that 1t belonged to Rulon
Shepler, the New York financIer, who
was aboard with party of friends.
AS Percival and Uncle Peter left
their car for the shaft house after
breakfast, the occupants of the other
car were bestirripg themselves.
From one of the open windows a
low but impassioned voice was eX-
hausting the current idioms of damna-
ton in sweeping dlspraise of all land
areas north and west of Fifty-ninth
street, New York.
Uncle Peter smiled grimly. Percival
flushed, for the hidden protestant had
uttered what were his own sentiments
/ month before.
