mouth of each filled with dry firm

all conditions, be kept dry. Trouble

dow screen for them to stand upon,
insures almost any glass jar against
destruction by unequal heating
The exact period of time to heat
cannot be given, for much depends
upon the steam pressure or upon the
vigor with which the water Is boiled.
Tests may be made with thermom
eter to determine this point. If kept
at 210o F. for 30 or 40 minutes at each
period for four consecutive days, ster-
ilization will be effected in case of
small quantities of milk. This. how
ever, depends upon the amount of
milk in each bottle.
A test for jars of milk supposed to
be sterile may be made by placing
them in warm room, for few days.
II no visible change takes place we
are practically assured in saying that
the milk is sterile.

even suggested sailing parties and

thought saw a shadow cross his
sisters face, but she answered him
gently that where he was happy she
was also. so he turned to Gabrielle
and told her he had hired a boat by
the week and was ready to take us out
at any time.
I'VE have boathouse but no boat. "
remarked Gabrielle, "and we can't
get inside 1t because Mary Anne's
brother inconsiderately lost the key"
Perhaps one of mine will fit," sug-
gested Lord Wilfrid, producing his
key-ring. Let US try and see."

while he tried the various keys with
no success.

said Elizabeth, "and yet one can hard
ly see it. don't believe like 1t down
here-it is so dark and creepy. Sup
pose we go back"
The water washed against the slip
with sullen sound. and it was un-
doubtedly very darlS-so dark we
could hardly distinguish one from an
other. Suddenly. however. a beam Of
light Illuminated the little dock. so

great originality, and added by way
of encouragement: 1T viii be gone
in an instant"
But It wasn't. don't know how
long we stood motioniess In the white
light. but 1t seemed an eternity to me.
and Gabrielle said afterward that she
felt perfectly transparent and as
though her every thought was bla-
zoned abroad for the world to read.
Lord Wilfrid leaned against the door
OF the boathouse, shading his eyes
with his hand. Elizabeth, who stood
beside him, said he swore softly under

ward. was certainly rude on my part.
for Lord wilfrId was doing his best
to be entertaining.
When at last they rose to 20. ana
had even started down the. steps Of
the veranda, Lady Edith turned ana
came back alone. laying her slender
white hand on mine and slipping her
other arm around Elizabeth's waist.
Il hope you will pardon me-" she
said, gently; Il do not mean to be Of
ficious, and of course at home we
looked at such things differently"
She paused as though she found ex.
preston difficult, and then continued
with some hesitation:
But you are just three girls living
here alone. and I've been thinking
about what you told us tonight. and
1t has made me a little uncomfortable.

She looked anxiously into our eyes
as she spoke. and as we involuntarily
smiled In response she kissed us and
re1oined her brother without another
word. 1t was her first advance be-
yond the ordinary courtesies of mere
ac1uaintanceship. and we were graft
fed as well as surprised, for with all
her grace OF manner she had an afr Of
reserve difficult to penetrate, even
had we been bold enough to at
tempt 1t.
Her words carried weight, too, for
when Mr. Gordon Bennett repeated his
call within the week he was informed
that the ladies' begged to be excused.
and Elizabeth wrote home that she
did not like things she had heard
about him, and did not think she cared
to know him at all.
We sat for long time that night
by the open window In my room,
watching the brightly lighted boats
threading their way among the isl.
ands. for Elizabeth said the ocean
seemed SO wide and lonely out OF their
own window she did not care to look
at it.
And" she continued. pushing the
sleeve of her blue kimono away from
her arm, "as for that boathouse, will
never go there again after dark. had

his breath. For my part, l did not
blame him, for certainly 1t was most
unpleasant; but so also was the in
tense darkness into which we were
plunged by the unexpected removal
Of the light. and with one accord we
made for the steps leading back to the
cottage.
1t was then thet Elizabeth lost her
nerve and gave a stifled scream. This
