house,

service. Good night"
The girl held out her hand stiffly.
Good night" she said.
Once out in the street, Maddox
stopped at the foot of the doorsteps
and stood there for some time turn
ing things over In his mind. He had
either said too little or too much.
Possibly his self assurance had
prejudiced Ainslee's last chance.
But in any. case, he had offended
Harmony without warning her suf-
flciently against Myrick. Was 1t
possible that Myrick was attempt
ing any tricks In the Placento liti-
cation by his visits? No, that was
ridiculous! Maddox laughed as he
banished the idea. He had been
making an ass of himself all the
evcI ing. He had presumed on the
friendship of dear little comrade
and been angry with her because
she would not take him seriously.
He ha | behaved absurdly and been
laughed at as he deserved. 1t was
preposterous to have asked her to
trust him without explanation. He
had treated her like child. He
would go back and ask her to for
give him, tell her the whole story
and let that excuse him as far as
It would.
Maddox mounted the steps again,
but stepped halfway up.
No, he had blundered enough for
one night. This was not the mo-
ment to correct his errors. 1t
would be better to take time to
evolve remedy for his folly.
With this resolve Dave descend
ed the steps again and turned
slowly homeward.

side herself. He had seen that she
was not accountable for her ac-
lions. And yet he had left her at
her hotel. 1t was inconceivable
that he had not considered the
possibility of relapse and guard
ed her accordingly.
1t took David Maddox less than
15 minutes to contradict his set
tied opinions, to question his pro-
fessional ideals of duty, to destroy
his most cherished theories of the
law, and to offer them on the al.
tar of his conscience as sacrifice
to friendship. He knew his deci-
sion was direct contradiction OF
his oft-repeated professional ut
terances, but having once made 1t
he sought neither excuse nor
palliation. but only for the means
to make 1t most effective.
Ainslee was in her rooms when
Maddox reached the hotel, and he
was at once shown to her private
parlor.
An open newspaper lay upon the
table, but there was nothing in her
face or manner to indicate that
she had received any shock from
the story it contained, She seem
ed perfectly calm and self
posed, but her calmness was
no longer forced physical
condition. 1t was rather nat
ural mental serenity. She stepped
forward, took Maddox's hands in
both Of hers, and held them for a
moment without speaking, looking
straight into his eyes.

Dave looked guiltily at the card
in his hand which he had taken
from the tray beside him and which
he was unconsciously tearing to
pieces.

mechanically fitting together the
torn pieces. Then he suddenly

ECCLESS RECIPES

An urgent problem of the house
wife today is: How can 1 cook with
the feweset number of eggs?
Here are six recipes, furnished
to The Press by a lady who is re-
garded as one of the best cooks in
this city, and which call for foods
with egg qualities, but which con-
tain none of the precious produce,
or will act as substitutes for eggs:
EGGLEss COOKIES.
Two cups of sugar, one cup of
butter and lard, equal quantities.
One cup of sour milk, one level tea
spoonful of soda. Flour enough to
make very soft dough. In mixing
better results are obtained if the
shortening is rubbed into the flour.
Rice Pudding.
Bake in slow oven for two
hours two tablespoons of rice, one
quart of milk, sugar to taste, few
raisins and a little vanilla. Stir
occasionally during the first hour.
Serve sold
Apple Sause Fruit Cake.
Gre matogether one cup of sugar.
and one-half cup of butter. Add a
cup of chopped raisins. lightly
dredged with flour; also one-half
teaspoon of cloves. one teaspoon of
cinnamon and one-half teaspoon of
grated nutmeg, mixed together.
Dissolve teaspoon of soda in
warm water and beat into a cup of
sour apple sauce. Beat thoroughly
and add two cups of flour. Bake in
a bread tin lined with creased pa
per in a moderate oven As minutes.

and the hour of going to press the
reporters had collected the main
facts Of Lorimer's life. Before an
other morning they would ferret
out every detail of Ainslee's affairs.
1t would not be possible to keep
the story of "Lorimer VS.. Lori
mer' a secret. Certainly Rutledge,
Bailey & Nugent were no longer
interested In concealing it. Such
story would leak out sooner or
later. 1t pointed too directly to
the possible murderer; it supplied
too clear a motive, to be left UNI
told. Anyone who knew it would
be compelled in the interest of
justice to make 1t public. That
story alone would make everyone
who heard 1t suspect Ainslee; it
would convince no small proper
ton of those who suspected her
But when the history of the previ-
Gus evening was known there
would be few who would be charit-
able or judicial enough to doubt
her guilt, Would it have to be
known?
Maddox's thoughts stopped for a
moment at the question. Then
slowly, almost stealthily, he began
to follow up its suggestion.
II Ainslee had not been stem en-
tering the building. noone but he
could tell the story. Unless the
hall man could identify him, there
would be no necessity for explain
ing his own visit to Lorimer's
rooms.
Had he the right to keep these
facts to himself? II there was a
public duty requiring Rutledge,
Bailey & Nugent to divulge the
facts concerning Lorimer's suit for
divorce, did 1t not demand that he

forward again, brushing through
the pitiless tearing thorns Of
doubt, his eyes searching the
tangle for sanctuary.
He could not convince himself of

DON'T Blame THE INNOCENT 0[O HEN

That you paid 60 cents for a
dozen strictly fresh eggs at the
corner grocery this morning is an
injustice upon you which is not
chargeable to the little brown hen
which actually produced those
savory and nourishing articles of
food.
The little brown, though the
weather is not entirely favorable,
is doing her duty this winter like
a patient little lady, amply supply
ing the market. It has been a rea-
sonable open winter in the egg belt
and receitps at Chicago are incon-
sistent with present high prices
everywhere.
Egg prices are fixed by the arbi-
trary ruling of a few men who live
in Chicago and have constituted
themselves an association called
the butter and egg board. These
men meet at o'clock each morn
ing in shabby office in the Ma
rine building, gather around long
table, and in a few moments de-
clare what prices shall be. These
quotations are telegraphed all over
the country and they form the
basis of local prices almost every
where
The butter and egg, board men,
bers have 1t in their power to make
you pay any price they may choose
to name. Competitive values,
weather or market conditions, the
laws of supply and demand have
little to do In influencing prices.
Edward Rueb, president of the
board, once frankly confessed that
the system of making egg prices
was based upon the idea of charg-
ing the consumer just as much as
he would pay.
So, no matter how enterprising
the little brown hen may be in
summer or in winter. price for her
commodity will depend upon the
ability or willingness of the lady
with the market basket to pay.
Most of the eggs consumed in
the country are traded through the
great Chicago food trust, which, of
course, also controls such staple
commodities as butter. lard, meats,
some fish and some fruit.
That you paid 60 cents for
dozen of eggs is no sign that the
farmer is doing well. Unless the
farmer brought his eggs to town
and sold them directly to the gro
ceryman, he had to pay jobber's
commission.
The price of eggs at the farm
today was really about 40 cents. In
between that price and the price
you paid were the profit of middle
men and the trusts tribute.
The law of supply and demand
is nicely defeated by the Swift
Armour food pirates, through the
modern system Of refrigeration.
When the little brown hen is doing
her best in the spring and summer
the trust gathers the supply and
stores it away for better prices.
Millions Of eggs are kept in cold
storage in Chicago during the sum-
mer and fall for high winter prices. |

We are indebted to Rev. N. C. Alger,
of Middle Hope, N. Y, for this item of
information:
A Topic of the Times" says: "The
red Indian in his war bonnet, the sole
survivor of aboriginal North America,
was of value as a cultural memorial, if
for nothing else. He should be replaced
upon the cent, and the foolish commem-
Grafton pennies should be permitted
quickly to efface themselves, or to find
oblivion in the tills of the coin collect
ors." Now for the history:
''In Philadelphia lived a child, 5 or 6
years of age, by the name of Sarah
Longacre, whose father was
fine engraver and held official rela-
tons in the government and was en-
ployed at the mint. A delegation of In
dams came from the far Northwest to
pay visit to Washington and call upon
the President. Thence they proceeded
to Philadelphia and were invited to the
home of Mr.. Iongacre. One of the
chiefs was attracted to little Sarah, and
in sport took off his headdress and
placed it on her head, and she stood be-
fore the company in this peculiar garb.
Some one of the company sketched her
on the spot, and handed the product of
his artistic skill to the father. The en-
graved sketch went into competition for
the honor Of a place on the cent, Just
being coined, and Uncle Sam accepted
the face of the little girl with the Indian
bonnet. How few know the history of
the cent! 1t is strictly American not
Indian"

Vert Virginia Republicans, especially
those living in territory contiguous to
the Old Dominion and familiar with the
politics Of the mother State. believe
that Republican governor can be elect
ed in Virginia this fall, and West Vir-
ginia orators are going to take an ac-
tive part in the campaign in November.
One of the West Virginians who will
lead assistance to the Virginia Republi-
cans is Representative Joseph Holt
Gaines, of the Third West Virginia dis
trict, and member of the WAYS and
Means Committee of the Lower House
of Congress.
AS an orator Mr.. Gaines has no peer
IN the State of West Virginia, and
through some sections Of the old State
he has wide acquaintance. The Vir-
ginia Republicans who are preparing for
the biggest fight ever waged in the poll
tics of the Old Dominion, will arrange
an itinerary for the West Virginia Rep
resentative.
Mr.. Gaines is going into the Virginia
hight at the earnest solicitation Of the
leading Republicans of the country, in
GLIDING President Taft, who has written
him from Beverly, Mass, thanking him
for his acceptance of the invitation to
make number of speeches in Virginia
during the month of October.
Throughout the country the eyes of
many politicians will be centered on
Virginia this fall. for it is believed that
the national administration, fortified by
the attitude of President Taft toward
the South, will lend its assistance in
prying Virginia loose from her Demo-
cratic mornings.
