pontoons, form the site Of a fortress

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Lovers Fears.

Presently VINEYARD left the colonel.
The old traveller was porting over a
map, the greater part Of which was
occupied by notes of Interrogation,
implying doubts on the part Of the
g~eographer. Of course, it was by the
merest chance that VINEYARD should
pass out by the window instead of the
door, and that he should cross the
smooth lawn and go straight to the
far corner of the old wall. 1t was
that particular corner whence the sea
was at all times visible far away to
the east.
Adonis followed at his masters
heels. Occasionally he raised his
rough nuzzle and shifted at the air.
There had been rain in the night, and
from the valley there assembled a
subtle odor of refreshed .verdure. All
around was fresh and cool and whole
some. VINEYARD Mistley crushed up
the telegram within his jacket pocket,
so that the crinkle Of the paper min
gled with the whisper of the leaves
above him. Then he looked around
over the green hills and softly whis-
tied a popular air in the most mat
ter-of-fact manner.
Doubtless it was owing to the mer-
est coincidence that he found Lena at
the corner Of the wall when he ap-
preached. She was locking the other
way; indeed, she was leaning side
ways over the wall to gather some
sprays of woodbine which had
| climbed up within reach. The air was
scented with a thousand autumnal
odors, but the breath of the wood
bine penetrated, somehow, through
all, just as love is popularity supposed
to penetrate through stone walls and
the dead thickness Of accumulated
years.
Then these two foolish young peo-
pie deliberately did the worst thing
possible under the circumstances,
They did nothing and said nothing,
He stood beside her and looked away
down the valley to the spot called
Mistley's Gap, where the line of the
meeting hills cuts the sky. She sat
there, and waited for him to break
the silence, expecting some laughing
suggestion. But for the first time
within the last few days VINEYARD
was serious in her presence.
1t is strange. how cruel men can be,
VINEYARD looked down at Adonis as lie
| stood on the wall with Lena's white
arm around him, and, as if speaking
to the dog, said:

NI;lanese Macaron1.

Boil three ounces of macaroni and
keep it hot in its own pan after
draining. Take three-quarters of a
pint of fowl giblets or mutton broth,
favoring with an onion, sweet herbs,
etc. With this make a plain cheese

in a saucepan, stir into it a-dessert-
spoonful Of -four, mix them into a
paste and by degrees pour in about
half of the broth; as this is warming
add to it two ounces Of grated cheese,
with the remainder of the broth, a
teaspoonful of powdered mustard,
salt and spiced pepper as desired.
Continue to- stir the sauce until It
reaches a creamy thickness, when 1t
may be removed from the fire and a
coffee cupful of milk, in which the
raw yoll1. of an egg has been beaten,
stirred in Immediately. Now deli
cately mix this sauce through the
hot macaroni and serve.

Dried Beef.

The most common way Of serving
dried or smoked beef is 70 shave it
into thin slices or chips, raw, but a
more savory' relish may be made Of
it with a little more trouble. Put the
slices of uncooked beef into a fry
ing pan with just enough boiling
water to cover them; set them over
the fire for ten minutes, drain off all
the water, and with a knife and fork
cut the meat into small bits. Return
to the pan, which should be hot,
with a tablespoonful of butter and a
little pepper. Have ready some well
beaten eggs, allowing four to a half
pound of beef; stir them into the
par with the minced meat, and toss
and stir the mixture for about ten
minutes. Send to table in covered
dish.

How Mr.. Box Became an Absfainer.

HOW MI. BOX beCdntc XII aoSlalhSis
Edward Box, Editor Of the Ladies'
Home Journal, took a characteristic
way of arguing himself into total abb
stinence. He says:
"As I looked around and came to
know more Of people and things, l
found the always unanswesable argu-
ment in favor Of a young mans abb
stinence; that is, that the most sue
cessful men in America to-day are
those who lever lift a Wine-glass to
their lips. Becoming interested in
this fact, I had tine curiosity to In
ouire personally into it; I found that
of twenty-eight of the leading bust
ness mel in the country, whose names
I selected at random, twenty-five
never touch a drop OF wine. I made
I'D my mind that there was some
reason for this. If liquor brought
safe pleasures, why did these men
abstain from it? If, as some say, 1t
Is a stimulant to a busy man, why
do not these men, directing the larg-
est business interests in this country,
resort to it? And when I saw that
these were men whose opinions IN
great business matters were accepted
by the leading concerns of the world,
I concluded that their judgment in
the use of liquor would satisfy me.
If their judgment in business mat
ters would command the respect and
attention of the leaders of trade on
both sides of the sea, their decision
as to the use of liquor, was not apt
to be wrong"

Casualties or the Railroads.

The total number of persons killed
in train accidents during the three
months ended June 80, 1906, was
1914, and of injured 3031, according
to reports received by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Accidents OF
other kinds, including those sus-
tanned by employees while at work
and by passengers in getting on and
off cars, etc., bring the total number
of casualties up to 16,9S7, consisting
OF 923 killed and 16.Q04 injured.

Welcome, best day of seven,

Thy morn exalts my thoughts to Heaven
At eve they linger there.

Where God in very deed doth dwell,
Mid heirs of heavenly grace.

! YES" replied Mrs. Mistley,
promptly. She was one of those rare
women who a at a juncture give a
decided opinion as to the time Of day.
We'll, then, if the colonel will be
so good as to lend me his horse, we
can manage it beautifully. We have
not an animal in the stable that I
can thoroughly trust. Mine is too
young"
do O mean to say" observed
Lena, that you would ride into New
castle after the theatricals and the
dance, at some unearthly hour in the
morning-twenty3 something miles?"
Certainly. 1t would be rather a
joke" j
"Winyard's idea of a joke" said
the colonel, with some deliberation,
while he kept his eyes fixed upon his
plate, has always been peculiar"
Breakfast over, Charlie accompa-
MED the ladies out on to the terrace,
while the colonel followed VINEYARD
to the little study. When the door
was closed, the old soldier looked
suddenly round at his companion
with a characteristic brusqueness of
manner. ?
"Why have you undertaken this
wild expedition to Bokhara?" he
asked.
Because" replied VINEYARD, with
a certain playful pride, II am about
the only man who has a chance of
| getting there unknown"
And do you believe that any good
will come Of it," e..
"No."
It was in such incidents as this
that the young fellow occasionally be-
trayed his military training, and the
| old soldier loved to e it. Blind
obedience to orders, yielded by intel
ligent, thinking men, has been the
making of England.
How will you go about it,"
Through Russia, I think. I want
to have another look at Moscow, and
would perhaps have a chance of pick
ing up some maps there"
But" said the colonel, "you will
never get into the country now. They
know you too we'll" ..
For half an hour the two men
talked over the matter calmly and in
detail, seeking to be honorable and
straightforward, as behooves English
men even when in intercourse with
men who know not the: meaning of
such words, and determined to carry
out the mission intrusted to n of
them at all risks, and in face Of every
difficulty, as behooves brave men and
patriots.
Both men fully knew the dangers
likely to be incurred, though neither
spoke Of them. Both had stepped
over the threshold of that mysterious
land of the Far East, and for them
the half-forgotten names of its cities
had no halo Of Arabian Night-like
glory. They took small account Of
these, except to denude them of the
untold splendor and lavish wealth be-
slowed upon them by travellers ia
bles, and to reduce them ruthlessly
to squalid townships. The hopeless,
trackless wastes of desert sand and
rounded stones were of much greater
import to the solitary traveller. To
him thees spoke of months spent in
weary travelling by burning u and
chilly night; they spoke of a madden
ing monQtony hunger, parching
thirst, a grewsome solitude and an
unrecorded death.

When Christ Comes In.

The Spirit-flled life is empty OF
self. When Christ comes in, self goes
out. The two r incompatible.
When Jesus begins to reign He de-
thrones %selfshness and pride. If
there is to be a new life, there must
be an utter surrender Of the old will,
with all it's ways. The presence Of
God IN a persons heart Is proved by
a. character of unselfshness and SER
vice. 1t is impossible for Christ to
dwell in a selfish heart, for to do so
would be to share an idols throne.
