TO MAKE FUDGE.

First be sure that 1t isn't going to
bother any one to have you in the kitchen.
Unless mother or cook is more willing to
have you try this receipt the fudge may
not turn out well. Friday evening or a
stormy Saturday afternoon is conducive
to good fudge making. Butter two tin or
agate pie plates. Take a Eaucepan which
will hold about three quarts. Put in the
saucepan, before you put it on the stove,
three even cups of granulated sugar. one
cup of sweet milk. a piece of butter the
size of an egg and a quarter pound of
unsweetened chocolate. 1t is not neces-
sary to CRATE the chocolate. Stir this mix
ture all together and put 1t on over a
moderate fire. Stir it occasionally, espe-
cially after it begins to boil. Boil it ten
minutes from the time when 1t first boils
up hard. 1t will then have begun to sugar
around the edge of the saucepan; take l.
off the stove, add scant half teaspoon o.
vanilla and stir briskly for alb ut two
minutes, then pour it out on the butter &
| plates. Be very careful not to stir it 81
long that it stiffens before it is pourv &
out, nor so short a time that it will moi
l>Se creamy. The fudge proper Is neve
hard nor brittle, out will melt in the
mouth.

When Susie came down to breakfast she
found a very unhappy family.
>'What is the matter?" she asked.
''Those robbers again." her father an

They certainly were. They lived in the
mountains and every once in whila de-

Greentille and caused SO much trouble
that every one firmly and finally decided
that something ought to be done. But
nothing ever was done. Every man in the
town used to take his turn being night

aged to stay awake all night. and so the
robbers came in quite silently and TOOK
whatever they wanted.
But this time Susie Sutton decided firmly
and finally that something ought to be
done and Susie Sutton was child of de-
termination. Immediately after breakfast
she put on her sunbonnet and set out In a
venturesome mood for the mountain. She
climbed and climbed till she was half way
up. Then she came to a very interesting
ookng cave.
Perhaps the robbers live here" she
said, and she peeped in. Sure enough.
there they were, and their captain was
setting up row of tin soldiers on the
floor.

mamma. Butter making is so much
trouble"
"Trouble!' said grandpa. mo trouble
at all!''
II don't mind getting little tired" said
Cousin Cecil, land it's such fun
! ASK Celia said grandmamma. 'You
| had the fun of making butter but Celia
had the hard work. She had to carry the
milk away down to the dairy and carry the
! churns and the pals and the pans to and
from the house to be washed and scalded,
| and scrub the dairy and do all the other
things that you and grandpa could not do
or forgot! You'll have to get a special
| working maid, as well as another COW If
| all she can do well in the laundry
| And SO they talked it over and decided
| to leave the dairy locked up and buy or
| binary salted butter. and after while
| Cecil and grandpa found other things to
occupy and amuse them and forgot all
about their disappointment.
That all happened six years ago. Now
Cousin Cecil is almost grown up, and
big girl. seven years old. with three front
teeth out and another one loose.
When we all came to the Holiday House
this summer Katharine and her little
brother Roger each took one of dear
grandpa's hands and walked all over the
place. They went down past the spring
house, and noticed how much water was
in the spring and how the honeysuckles
mad grown.
whats that other little house. with
the woodbine climbing all around the
Window" asked Katharine.
THAT used to be the dairy" said
grandpa.
whats dairy?'' asked Katharine.
So grandpa told them all about it.
why don't you make butter there
now?" asked Roger. when he had fin
ished.
1T is so far from the house that it is
too much trouble to fetch and carry
everything" grandpa answered, land
we've only one COW, you know"
Lets see the little house," exclaimed
Katharine. II wish We might have it for
a playhouse"
'Why. SO you may" said grandpa.
"Goody"' said both together, and they
ran off. clapping their hands for Joy. to
tell Catrina, their nurse.
Well, they swept down all the cobwebs
and opened the window, and swept and
washed the floor. Next they hung turkey
red curtains at the window, and put a red
cloth on the table and strip of mating
on the floor. This last they found in the
attic. Then they tackled some bright pic
lures on the wall, and brought down their
little chairs and table from the nursery.
But the trough looked badly-(of course,
there had been no water in it since they
stopped using the dairy. and it was all
dry cement, like the floor.
II know what We'll do.' said Kath-
arine. I'm ask COUSIN Cecil If we can
keep the boat cushions there"
OF she ran, and came back with her
arms full of scarlet cushions with which
she filled the tank.
''It makes a lovely sofa" said Roger,
| falling down on the cushions.
| So this is how Katharine and Roger
happened to have house Of their own.
| Some time I will tell you of the good
| times they have had there.

A coral necklace, fair 10 see.
And l did then to him present :.
A walking stick, in compliment.
Next day we had falling out

Each thought the other very rude,
And limited at ingratitude.
So then our mother said that he
Must wear the beads he'd given me,
And I must take the walking cane,
Walk to the church and back again!
Thus, much depressed, we did appear
To all beholders very queer
Till he was glad to take his cane
And I to get my beads again
We underwent change of mind,
And found each other very kind!

A GREAT SURPRISE.

Young BENJAMIN was coming down
The stairs as youngsters do,
Pausing at every step to stamp
Upon each tiny shoe.
And peeping through the banisters
He laughed aloud In glee,
And held his wooden elephant
That all below might see.
Alas, when nearly down the toy
Fell from his needless hand,
And down upon the marble door
With heavy thud did land.
A startled step did baby make,
With terror in his eyes,
And he. too. landed with thump.
And that was the surprise.
