| newest of store candies may be made
at little cost. These are the peanut
creams and chocolates that are now in
| such high favor. To attain this mas
terpiece take some peanut butter, and,
after sailing it slightly, shape it into
the forms desired. Some of these may
be rolled in fondant and served plain;
others may be covered with chopped
nut meats; some may be dipped into
melted chocolate, or they may be
treated in any manner that the in
genuity of the amateur candymaker
may suggest. In any form, however,
they are quite as delicious as the can.
dies that are sold in stores.
A fruit and nut delicacy that cannot
fail to appeal to the housewife at
Christmas time is made by chopping
cup of nut meats with two cupfuls of
dates, half a cupful of figs, and half
cupful of Maraschino cherries that
have been drained free from liquor.
When chopped, and they should not
be chopped too fine, mold into the
shapes desired, and dip each piece into
of sugar with half pint of water until
it will harden like candy. Slices of
orange or pineapple, and dates, figs or
any kind of nuts may be coated in the
same manner.
Now that maple sugar may be OBJ
tanned without great difficulty, an ex-
cellent candy may be made by boiling
three cupfuls with a cupful and a half
of sweet milk and half tablespoon
full of butter for about ten minutes. At
the expiration of this time beat with
a spoon until the mixture is both
creamy and thick. 1t may then be
spread in buttered tins to cool, or, for
the sake of variety, the candy may be
divided into three equal portions, one
part to be served plain, another mixed
with nuts, and the third with chopped
candied cherries.
Sailed nuts are now so great a
favorite that no elaborate dinner
would seem complete without them.
AS ordinarily prepared, however, the
sailing of nuts is quite a serious task,
but if the cook desires to save time in
cooking them she may attain the same
result more easily by dropping them
into kettle of deep fat-lard by
preference-and letting them remain
from 10 to Is minutes. When done,
they must be drained thoroughly be-
fore being sailed to taste, and they
will be found to be just as palatable
as the nuts that have been prepared
by the far more laborious process.
If you are in search of a novelty, in
stead of sailing all the nuts for the
Christmas dinner, try the experiment
of "brandying" some of them. To do
this, soak the nuts for about SO hours
in brandy-French brandy, peach
brandy or applejack will do-then
cover them with thin fondant, or
merely roll them in powdered sugar.
The result will be hailed with delight.

The policeman was surprised to see

Krams fired again, and with the first

New York.-In battle to end the

animal. The cat was killed after 20
shots had been fired at it and a half.
dozen bullets had lodged in it's body.
During the firing necessary to kill
the animal the greatest excitement
prevailed in the neighborhood of First
avenue and Seventh street. From
vantage points residents watched the
shooting and the attacks of the ami
NAL upon the policeman.
The cat, pet in the family of
Adolph Finkelstein of 12O Seventh
street, was left in the fiat on the
fourth floor with Mary Finkelstein, six
years old, and Hannah Taubinkinmel
four years old, who lives on the first
floor. The pet gave birth to litter
OF kittens four weeks ago, and the
children, it is said, had been playing
with the little ones.
Without warning the cat made a
leap at Mary and landed on her chest.
Its claws failed to go through her gar
ments, and as it fell to the ground it
ripped her stocking, tore her leg with
it's claws and sunk it's teeth into the
limb. 1t then turned upon the other
child and bit her in the hand.
With the blood streaming from their
wounds and frightened nearly into
spasns, the two children ran from the
fiat. Samuel Finkelstein, Is years old,

corner, met Loyal, who nearly knocked
her down by his joyful recognition.
He soon grew calm-except for his
tail-and marched proudly by her side,
with frequent long upward looks into
her face, which was turned toward
him as often as might be.
At the end of a mile, they turned.
seemingly of one accord, and retraced
their steps.
The girl and the dog, so alike in
color, attracted considerable attention,
of which both were wholly uncon-

At the steps of her home Katherine
discovered that she had problem to
solve, for her four-footed escort ap-
peared astonished at her inhospitable
hesitation, and strongly indicated his
desire to enter, showing by many
signs his natural stubbornness, even
lifting up his voice to emphasize it.

"you are lost dog" and for the first
time she thought of his collar. Bend

near by that after some debate with
her inclination, she decided to leave
him outside and watch whether he
went in the right direction. This he
did, but not until an hours patient
waiting had satisfied his mind that his
new friend was capable of disappoint-
ing him, that she was not coming
forth again, nor was he expected to
follow her inside.
Scarcely morning passed that, free.

When he was not made welcome he
seemed to realize that there was some

Late one afternoon, on cold and
windy day, Katherine was returning
home. Down the avenue came fright

One October day the air breathed
into Loyars soul a challenge for a

summer spent in Europe, he unhesi.
tatlngly accepted the challenge and
walked out of the open door.

looked down at him with pleased sur

his nose
GOOD morning, you handsome dog!
You seem to know your admirers at
sight I wonder who your master is?"
The briskness of their pace soon
brought them to Madison avenue and
Forty-second street, where the girl in
brown, after patting her companion
on the head and addressing numerous
fiattering remarks to him, boarded
West-bound car. Looking back she
saw the dog gazing reproachfully after
her.
All that day, Katherine Raymond
found her mind wandering to the fine
st. Bernard who had joined her early
morning walk. She would have been
astonished had she realized how often
in the following days she thought of
him, pondering his act, his name and
his home. Four days passed and
Wednesdays outdoor beauty prevailed
upon Katherine, who, dressed in brown
as usual, went forth to enjoy walk.
The avenue was noisy, although ap-
parently deserted, so she turned
