breath came shorter. the sweat stood
thick upon his brow. Darlington grew
cooler after the first flush of passion
consequent upon his slight wound. His
strength grew greater. He pressed
Strathgate harder. But the earl was
not yet DONE Nerving himself. sum-
moning all his resolution to his aid,
in series of brilliant onslaughts he
sought to bring to a sudden end an at
fair for which, If 1t should be much
more prolonged, he knew his strength
would be unequal.
But Darlington met him with a
wrist of steel and blade quicker than
the light itself. How it was done.
no one could see, but after series OF
rapid thrusts and disengagements, the
spectators saw Strathgate suddenly
throw up his arms. His blade fell
wavering to the ground. Those who
stared saw two feet of bloody steel
thrusting out from his back. CARING
ton had seized an opportunity and had
lunged with such force and power and
directness that the quillons of the hilt
of his rapier had actually struck the
breast of Strathgate as he ran him

lung. Darlington strove to withdraw
his weapon, succeeded partially, when
Strathgate collapsed utterly and
crashed to the ground. swapping off
the projecting end of the blade behind
his back as he fell upon it.
He strove horribly for a moment to
rise and then settled back biting his
lips to stine a groan of agony. Car
rington stood over him with hand up
raised. Which had the whittier face

"Strathgate!" cried my lord. bend
ing over him.
Darlington" murmured Strathgate
in his agony, fairly wrenching the
words from his lips, you're damned
fool. The woman loves you-not-
mel"
He stopped.

Good cooking is rapidly becoming
lost art. They who prepare the
food for the world decide the health OF
the world. You have only to go on
some errand amid the hotels of the
United States and Great Britain to ap-
preciate the fact that vast multitude
of the human race are slaughtered by
incompetent cookery. Though a young
woman may have taken lessons in
music, and may have taken lessons in
painting, and lessons in astronomy,
she is not well educated unless she
has taken lessons in dough

FOR THE BREAKFAST TABLE.
Suggestions for Those Who Would Be-
gin the Day Well.

The average American family is fast
following in the footsteps of foreign
cousins and eating light breakfasts
and one hot dish is considered suf-
ficient. The motherly mother and de-
voted wife may find one or two of the
following dishes tempting. Generally
speaking, something with a little salty
flavor appeals to a mans appetite.
Finnan Haddie and Eggs --Select a
thick fish and cut into pieces large
enough for single portions. Pars oil
the fish for few minutes. Remove
from the pan, dry with a cloth. Put
the fish on the fine broiler, rub butter
over it and broil until nicely Drowned.
Lay on hot platter. brush once more
with butter. squeeze a little lemon
juice over 1t and serve with poached
egg on each square of fish.
Baked Breakfast Dish.-ln the bot
tom of baking dish put layer OF
cold mashed potatoes left from dinner.
Sprinkle with bits of butter. Over this
place layer of finely chopped ham
and then break several eggs over the
top. Place in moderately quick
oven and bake until done. Grated
cheese may be added on top of the
eggs If cheese is liked. Many prefer 1t
without the cheese for breakfast and
with the cheese for luncheon.
Bacon in Potatoes.-Select large
potatoes of even size and cut a small
piece off one end SO they will stand.
When baked remove the second end
scoop out part of the inside. Fill this
cavity with chopped broiled bacon,
making little pyramid in each po-
tato. Serve on hot platter and stick
a sprig of parsley in each potato.
