NATION.

st. Paul, MINI, June 49, Gov.

eyes fixed on the hanging prisms OF

Dare sat Though that summer even

at the blank wall like prisoner bur
rowing for freedom
He took out his roll of notes and
counted them over and over, examin-
ing each one carefully. as though IL
would give him clue. Against the
chaos of his mind the sombre figure
and mocking face OF Abdul Won Tar
senheim looked out with the awful
distinctness of a fiend invoked on a
dark room AS the actual Won larsen
helm acceded, Fabian began to think
of him as the devil, to whom he had
sold himself--the notes as the price
of his soul. Then he took out his
diary. At the first it only seemed like
notebook picked up in the street,
the emotions recorded in 1t the emo
tions of stranger But in the end,
with the help of the diary, his brain
began to piece together the scattered
mosaics into pattern OF his past. He
remembered his life at Oxford, his de-
/
dreams which were fermenting in him
through the demium Of the pulpit.
Then the crashing around him of the
world which had seemed so secure
from his sheltered corner of it. Then
the hard realities Of the real world,
the awful discovery that he could not
OF himself get foothold on its slip
perry rocks. His diary guided him up
to the moment when he had entered
the room with the glass case, and seen
the man in the motor Iuask-the man
who seemed to embody the oppressive
forces which had dragged him to his
doom. He remembered that he had
peen given chance to escape, then
a girl coming in whose eyes had
pleaded with his that he should escape
but only had the contrary effect OF
claiming him to the money he had TAX
en- She had represented something
wonderful, something which would
make ten thousand pounds and life
worth owning.
He remembered entering the glass
case and a great darkness settling
down on him, the darkness which was
still there, like a fathomIess chasm,
across which he must look at his past.
Then life beginning on this side or
the chasm. with feeling that he had
wronged someone terribly. Why
and why had he thrown himself on
his kness at the feet of the girl for
whom he had sold himself, only to
find that she no longer had any mean
ing for him-that he had been, some
how. cheated of the real price Of his
soul? What had been done to him
during those hours Of darkness that
made him feel such stranger to him
self? His brain seemed to belong to
him. but his personality felt like a
garment he had put on by mistake, a
garment which nearly fitted him. but
not quite. Puzzling, puzzling, puz-
cling, his weary brain went to sleep.
The unconscious cerebration which
takes place in sleep had cleared hrs

USEFULNESS OF CORN STARCH.
Aids the Housewife in New and VaIu-
able Ways-ExceIIent Reputation
Established by Well Known



There are times-of frequent oc-
currence in the experience of every
housewife-when her dishes seem to
lack the essential element Of va
riety; when she feels that her fam
lily has become weary of her cooking,
and when the daily routine becomes to
her monotonous drag.
Certain dishes, However, must be
prepared frequently, and the problem
resolves Itself into making these in
new and better way. 1t is right mere
that the housewife may receive valu-
able aid from the use Of corn starch
to add new and pleasing flavor to
many dishes, making them more nour-
ishing and digestible.
Two Of Americas most eminent
cooking authorities, Alice Cary Water
man and Janet M. Hill, have made a
careful study of this subject and its
possibilities, using the old reliable
Kngsford's Oswego Corn Starch, a
kind that both recommend.
The result reveals methods of pre-
pairing some of the more common
articles of everyday cooking that tend
to decidedly remove them from the
commonplace. For example, blanc
mango or other pudding made of this
famous product is most excellent when
served wath sauce of fresh or
stewed fruits poured over it, forming
dessert which may be served in
winter as we'll as in summer Mayor
naise and other dressings are found to
be smoother and of better flavor when
prepared with this corn starch; soups,
gravies and sauces of all sorts are
also greatly improved by it.
Kingsford's is famed for its absolute
purity and uniformly high quality
"Sixty-six years Of Superiority 1t is
particularly desirable on account OF
its remarkable delicacy, taking per-
fectly the daintiest favors.
In Original Recipes and Cooking
Helps" book prepared by the above
mentioned authorities, are given more
than a hundred novel ways in which
corn starch will aid the busy cook. T.

Mrs. Green and her daughter de-

When Mrs. Green sent down to the
Office for her account she announced
that she would give up her suite at
once. Frederick Sterry, chief of all
the things at the Plaza, was amazed
and somewhat perturbed He did not
want anybody to go away from a
sense of dissatisfaction, so he sought
Mrs. Green to ask the reason for her
going.
There was no dissatisfaction. Ev-
erything had been most satisfactory.
but the departing guest said she could
not tell why she was leaving could
not give a good reason" No more
could Mr.. Sterry learn.

CHAPTER XIII.

FaDlan Dare had left Won larsen
helms lodgings in a daZed condition.
like man who has not fully recover
ed from narcotic. Before the opera.
ton he had planned what he would do
If he survived it; these plans he now
instinctively carried out; otherwise he
was incapable Of initiating action.
He called a hanson, and mumbled
the name of hotel which he had al
ways frequented in his prosperous
days. The cabman, with that un-
erring instinct, amounting to telepathy
which he shares with telegraph
clerk-for picking your true meaning
from chaos of sounds and scratches,
drove Dare to the very hotel he want
ed, where the bedroom and sitting
room he had been in the habit of oc-
cupying when in town were at his
service. 1t was one of those small,
dingy, comfortable hotels, where the
proprietor is not a limited company,
but human being like his guests,
and the walters are not labelled
MADE in Germany" The proprietor
had missed Mr.. Dare lately, regretted
to see he was not looking well-been
overworking at college, no doubt. Fa-
bian Dare made some incoherent re-
ply. The man seemed to know him
Intimately, whereas he had no recollec-
ton of the man at all. He tried to
think backwards. and ran up against
a blank wall. Mumbling some words
which he hoped were in keeping with
the hotel proprietor was saying, he
was conducted to his room.
He wanted to be left alone, to bat
ter at that blank wall. 1t is a terrible
feeling to suddenly realise that. we
have been deprived of our past, for of
that is our personality, of that are we
consciously created. The instinct to
preserve it is the instinct of self-pre-
servation at its strongest. In the

WANT MARTIN ACT
COMMISSION TO
FINISH ITS WORK
Kearny Council Believes That
Its LabOrs Should Be Done
by January |.
EXPENSIVE LUXURY,
DAVID REID ASSERTS
Final Report Should Have Been
in Two Months Ago, 1t
Is Said.

Councilman David B. Reid, of Kearng,
at a meeting of the Kearny Common
Council held last night brought to the
attention of the other members of
the Council the fact that the
Martin Act Commission had not yet
gone out of existence, although about
four months ago ii was understood the
services of the commission would epd
In about two months. Tow Clerk
Theodore c. Wildman, who is clerk Of
the commission, vas asked when the
board would be discontinued. Mr.. Wild
man explained that the report was now
being made up and that about 800 cases
have to be attended to, and a search
made in each one. He said the board
was a little lax, because of the hard
times" but would soon complete it's
final report and submit it to the court.
Mayor Brock asked the clerk if the
commission would draw salary until the
court approved the report, and the
clerk answered that he did not know.
To this Councilman Reid said: IF the
board drags on for another year we
have been deceived, our taxes are high
and the salary of this commission cuts
quite a figure. The commission is IN
expensive luxury" concluded Reid. who
then made q motion to instruct the
clerk to notify the commission to COM
plete it's work, If possible, by January
/ next, and then resign. The motion
was carried.

FOR a long time the Kearny Council
has been fighting the trolley people for
better rolling stock, and it is surprising
TO a great many that when a chance
for the better had come che Council
let it go by. Councilman Reid, chair
mar of the street committee of the
Council, reported that a number Of
protests had been made against the
Council granting tie request, and he
felt 1t incumbent on the part Of the
Council thai the request be refused.
His motion 10 turn down the trolley
people was unanimously passed.
Reid said that he would get after
the Public Service and ask them to
build a loop around Depot square.
