CHAPTER XIII.
A SLIP.

1890
Flavia McMurrough enjoyed one ad-
vantage over her partners in con-
spiracy. She could rise on the morning
after the night of the bonfires with a
clear head.
Colonel John had scarcely passed
away under guard before she was
afoot, gay as a lark and trilling like
one, for on this day would they begin
a work the end of which no man could
see, but which, to the close of time,
should shed a lustre on the name of
McMurrough. No more should their
native land be swept along, a chained
slave in the train of a more brutal, a
more violent, and a more stupid peopleI
From this day Ireland's valor should
be recognized for what it was, her wit
be turned to good uses, her old ira
ditions be revived in the light of new
glories. The tears rose to the girls
eyes, her bosom heaved, as h pictured
the fruition of the work to be begun
this day and with clasped hands and
prayerful eyes sang her morning
hymn.
The tears gushed from her eyes and
with an overlooking heart she thanked
heaven for the grace and favor that
assigned her a part of the work. 1t
was much-may she be forgiven!-if,
in the first enthusiasm of the morn
ing, she gave a single thought TO the
misguided kinsman whose opposition
had exposed him to dangers at which
she vaguely guessed. .
She lived in a dream, but a golden
dream, and when she descended to the
living room her lips quivered as she
kissed the bishops hand and received
on her bent knees his episcopal bless
ing. "And on this house, my daughter"
he added, and on this day!"
"Amen!' she murmured in her heart.
True, breakfast, n the hour after
breakfast, gave some more pause to
her happiness. The mems nerves were
on edge with potheen and they had
not been at the table five minutes be-
fore quarreling broke out. The Span
ish officers who were In attendance on
Cammock came to words with one Of
the O'Bernes who resented the notion
that the admiral's safety was not suffi-
GENTLY secured by the Irish about him.
The peace was kept with difficulty, and
so much ill-feeling survived the out
lem to remit two-thirds Of the sailors
70 the ship.
This was not q promising beginning,
where the numbers were already so
scanty that the bishop wondered In his
heart whether his dupes would dare to
pass from words 10 action. But II was
not all. Some n spoke of Asgil, and
of another justice in the neighborhood,
asserting that their hearts were with
the rising, and at a later point their
aid might be expected.

Consul General John Edward Jones, Of
Winnipeg, reports that active measures
are being taken by the Manitoba governs
ment to rid the province Of rats. which
<nade their appearance In the grain fields
and granaries last spring.
Through the cooperation of the chem
lists at the agricultural college In Winni-
peg. q virus has been produced, which, 1t Is
claimed, is fatal to rats and easily eoni-
to others. As the rodents Ehen
discovered had already made their way
n the fields, this method OF Kidding the
country was deemed most eIicaclous. The
virus produces a fatal fever in the rodents.
which much resembles typhoid. IL was
found impracticable to distribute this
virus broadcast to farmers, so a supply
has been sent TO the secretaries OF the
various municipalities together with In,
for use.

Commission Governments Rapid
Growth,
From the Outlook.

The commission form of government has
made great Roadway because 1t Is admir-
ably suited to the administration of city
business. 1t combines the principle Of cleo.
ton at large with the principle of con-
centration of responsibility in administra-
ton. 1t, however, seems to be weak on
the side Of determining municipal policies.
This weakness has not been conspicuous
simply because the determination of mu-
nicipal policy has never been adequately
In trusted to any American city govern
ment. Under present conditions Of city.
government in the United States, the CON-
mission form of government has been con-
spicuously successful. Under better con-
ditions 1t might still be successful II modi-
fed.

Reducing Ones Weight.

1t is unsafe. often highly dangerous,
TO reduce weight BY any means what
Soever more than two pounds a week
for any number OF weeks, Most Eu-
ropean water cures are fakes. Not
the water cures. but discipline. which
often IL excellent for greedy, stupid
people.
King Edward goes TO Marienbad once
4 year and drops 30-odd pounds, and
picks them up again before he is back
In London. Such cure for obesity Is
the lazy mans cure. and. as Sir Boyle
Roche would say. II is no cure at all.
When big Jim Jeffries had a notion
of hopping up the ring with the black
conqueror of Tommy Burns he an
nounced he would take the cure at
Carlsbad. That word was enough for
the sophisticated, and they grabbed all
bets that the n c mighty JEFF never
would climb through the ropes. The
real reducers are exercise n tenn
perance.
We don't exercise enough Our
young men In college beat the world
as athletes. They are graduated, enter
business and settle down to be fat men
at SO. Theodore Roosevelt knew what
ne was talking about when he charged
New York men with having soft bodies,
and ne might have included the women,
too. We have 10 plump women against
every one In European cities. We eat
too much and we loaf too much. We
don't walk enough. When we go away
for the summer we leave all the exer-
cising to the young folk. We sit on
painted benches or in wicker rockers
and applaud the agility on the tennis
court. and we never think of takine a
hand ourselves. Go out and take a

bath would keep down the fat. even IL
we never did a tap OF work.

They are made after the directoire
style, cut away from the waist line in
front to long point in the back.
They have richly embroidered waist
coats and revers and are fastened with
jeweled and enameled buttons. The
sleeves are scanty and are finished
with a roll-back cuff. Some of the
coats are trimmed with long lines of

One-half package Of gelatin, one
half cup of cold water, Juice of two
lemons, one-fourth cup of vinegar, one.
half cup of sugar, one teaspoon of salt
one cup of celery cut in small pieces,
one cup OF shredded cabbage, one cup
OF blanched almonds cut twice, three

Fruit and Nut Cheese.

Quarter pound brazil nuts, quarter
pound pecans, half pound almonds,
half pound walnuts, half pound each
Of figs, dates and raisins. Prepare
nuts as usual, mix well with the fruit
and run through food chopper, using
smallest knife. Pack in cocoa or bak-
ing powder cans. Cover we'll and it
will keep for months. When wanted
dip in hot water and it will slip out
easily. A slice of this between thin
pieces of bread makes a dainty sand
witch for luncheon or picnic and is
more nutritious than meat 1t also
makes delicious CONNECTION when cut
in cubes and dipped in melted and
sweetened chocolate. The above are
some of the many ways in which this
cheese may be used.

Appetizina odorless Onions.

Take six large onions over which
has been poured boiling water to re-
move skins. In the center of each
make hole about the size of a quar-
ter. Boil six eggs ten minutes; take
out yolks and mash fine, then cream
into them one heaping teaspoon of
butter, add celery salt, pepper and a
little table salt to taste, roll out one or
two crackers and mix lightly with the
egg. Stuff the onions with this till
you have used all the egg mixture,
then place in shallow pan with six
tablespoonfuls water and bake till
done; do not burn or scorch. Cut and
spread thinly with butter six slices of
white or brown bread and lay on a
platter. Make a nice thick milk gravy,
using about one tablespoonful of flour
to a pint of milk; when onions are
done remove carefully from pan on
which they were baked and Mace
them, one on each slice of butt@red
bread, and put over them the hot
milk gravy. Serve while hot. Cold
mashed potatoes. either white or
sweet, can be used for filling.

FOR THE SEPARATE WAIST.
Style Must Either Be Extremely Lin
serie or Severely Tailored.

To show the unsettled state of the
fashions just now, one authority an
nounces that this is to be a season of
the lingerie waist par excellence
while another equal in authority says
with the crepes and thin cottons, ex
quisite mulls and dainty foulards that
are shown in charming combination OF
plain colors lingerie gowns are to be
rather out of the running"
However, one thing seems to be as
sured. There is to be no halfway
business. The waist must be very
lingerie" or it must be severely
tailored.
For the former, French valenciennes
handmade Irish and Cluny laces, and
fine hand embroidery are used in a
great profusion as ones time and
purse will allow.
Morning waists of the tailored va
riety are mostly of white shifting liner
or striped madras, fastened down the
front with pearl buttons.
Often the white ones have Cluny
lace set in down the front on each side
of the middle plat, and in the turn
over collar and cuffs.
The colored ones are usually
untrimmed, except for lengthwisl
tucks of various widths.

the tiny garments on a pretty little
rack which hung from the back of the
chair on which stood the dressing bias,

let had been made, it was the work OF
an instant to lift the little rack from
the chair to a place beside an open
window where the crib belongings
were also airing. The handy little rack
was made of half a window-shade roll.

with ribbon hanger, to which was
sewed big hook for attaching to the

TO COOK MACARONI
SIX WAYS IN WHICH 1T MAY BE
SERVED.
To Those Not Properly Familiar with
This HeaIthful Dish the Following
Instructions Will be of Ma
terial Interest.

Plain-Break into half-inch pieces1
enough macaroni to fill a cup; put into
a kettle of boiling sailed water and
cook for 20 minutes, or until tender:
turn into a strainer and let cold water
run through to rinse it; put into a
shallow baking dish and cover with
white sauce; cook one tablespoonful
of flour in one tablespoonful of hot
butter in small saucepan, and stir in
gradually one cup of hot milk; season
with salt and pepper, pour over the
macaroni and cover with fine cracker
crumbs, moistened in melted butter.
Bake until brown.
With Cheese-Prepare as for plain
macaroni, then mix half a cup of
crumbled cheese with the macaroni be-
fore adding the white sauce.
With Eggs-Add two hard-boiled
eggs, chopped fine.
With Ham-Add one cup of fine
minced ham, seasoned with mustard,
and beat one raw egg in the sauce.
With Oysters-Add one cup of oys-
tiers highly seasoned with salt and pep
per; moisten with one cup of cream in
place of the sauce if you like.
With Tomatoes-Fry one teaspoon
full of chopped onion in one tablespoon
full of butter until slightly colored; add
one tablespoonful of flour, and when
well mixed, " cups of strained toma-
toes, and season with salt; this may be
mixed with the macaroni alone, or
with the addition of the cheese or the
oysters. In these variations, always
cover the mixture with the buttered
crumbs as it prevents the macaroni
from becoming dry; but if the maca-
roni is not baked, it may be served
with any seasoned sauce without
crumbs

Cushion Covers.

Burlap and craftsman's canvas are
much used for cushion covers, and
really beautiful effects may be brought
out with very little effort. A design,
conventional or otherwise, cut from
cretone and applied with an embroid-
cry stitch, will make brave showing
at the expense Of little time or trouble.

gested for boys, who do not wear whits
after seven or eight years.
