NOVELTY IN PRESERVES
Woman of Business Turn Of Mind
Makes Money for Both Grocer
and Herself.

Making jellies. preserves and canned
goods is one of the standard occupa-
tons for women of the present day.
but one woman has made so business
like and profitable an arrangement
with regard to her source of supply of
fruits that she deserves mention
among those who have developed an
original idea. She arranged with her
grocer to take all his fruit which was
not sold during the day, to make it up
into canned goods. preserves or cor
dials. and to place it with him for sale.
She proved to him that her goods
were first class in every particular.
and he was glad to add them to his
stock. He also found that he had an
added advantage in the perfect fresh
ness of all his fruits which were
onered to customers Every grocer
reckons upon a certain amount of loss
from perishable goods of this nature.
since it is impossible for him to esti-
mate exactly how many boxes of ber-
rles or how many dozen pineapples
he can sell. Under such an arrange
ment this loss was eliminated.
There are many women who could
put up fruit successfully. who have
not seen how they could secure the
supply they needed while living in the
city. Perhaps this woman's method
may help to solve their problem.

The method of gliding picture

fine whiting mixed with fine glue are
put on, each in its turn being
smoothed with fine sandpaper. This
done, coat of goldsize is given to
those parts which are not to be

ceive only coating of clear animal

and FURNISHED where desired. In
stead of real gold leaf. Dutch metal,
which is simply copper beaten like

II shall undoubtedly lose such wits
as l have if We don't get somewhere
in this business pretty soon. But,
Donovan, there's something l want to
ask you. l don't like to speak of it,
but when we were coming away from
that Internal island, after our scrap
with the dago. there were two people
walking on the bluff-a man and a
woman. and the woman was nearest
us. She seemed to be purposely put
ting herself in the mans way so we
couldn't see him. 1t didn't seem pos
Sible that Helen could be there-but? ?"
He clearly wished to be assured,
and l answered at once:
Il saw them; it couldn't have been
Helen. 1t was merely similarity of
figure. 1 couldn't distinguish her face
at all. Very likely they were Port An
Mandate cottagers."
Il thought so myself" he replied,
evidently relieved. 1t did not seem
necessary to tell him of Rosalind at
Red Gate; that was my secret, and
was not yet ready to share it.
1--we got to talk to somebody, and
l want to tell you something, Donovan.
| can't deny that there are times when
Helen doesn't Seem-well, all that
have thought her at other times.
Sometimes she seems selfish and hard,
and all that. And l know she hasn't
treated Miss Pat right; it isn't square
for her to take Miss Pats bounty and
then work against her. But l make
allowances, Donovan"
"Of course" l acquiesced, wishing
to cheer him. $50 do l. She has been
hard put in this business. And a mans
love can't always be at par-or a wom-
ans either! The only thing a man
ought to exact of the woman he mar
ries is that she put up a cheerful
breakfast-table. Nothing else counts
very much. Start the day right, hand
him his gloves and kind word at the
front door as he sallies forth to the
days battle, and constancy and devo-
ton will be her reward l have spoken
words of wisdom. Harken, o Chief
Button-Maker of the World"
Good humor mastered him again,
and he grinned his delightful boyish
grin.
III tell you what I'll do for you, my
lad" l said. I'll arrange for you to
see Helen tonight! You shall meet

He was at once sane and serious,
and replied, soberly:
81 never doubted that it was Arthur
1t he wasn't guilty, why did he run
away? 1t was a queer business, and
father never mentioned it. Henry gave
out the impression that my father had
taken advantage of Holbrook Brothers
and forced their failure; but father
shut up and never told me anything"
But you have the notes"
Yes, but I'm not to open them, yet
] can't tell you about that now" He
grew red and played with his cravat.
Where are they?" 1 asked.
'I've just had them sent to me;
they're in the bank at Annandale
There's another thing you may not
know. Old man Holbrook, who lived
10 be older than the hills, left a pro-
vision in his will that adds to the COM
plications. Miss Pat may have men
toned that stuff in her fathers will
about the honor of the brothers."
"She just mentioned it. Please tell
me what you know of it,"
He took out his pocket-book and
read me this paragraph from a news
paper cutting:
And the said one million dollars herein
before specifically provided for shall aft
er the lapse of ten years. be divided be-
tween my said sons Henry and Arthur
Holbrook, share and share alike; but if
either of my said sons shall have been
touched by dishonor through his own
act. as honor is accounted, reckoned and
valued among men, my said daughter Pa
tricia to be the sole judge thereof, then
ne shall forfeit his share of said amount
thus withheld, and the whole of said sum
OF one million dollars shall be adjudged
TO belong to the other son.
Gillespie lighted a cigarette and
smoked quietly for several minutes,
and when he spoke it was with deep
feeling.
Il love that girl, Donovan. l be-
lieve she cares for me, or would If she
could get out of all these entangle-
ments. I'm almost ready to burn that
packet and tell Miss Pat she's got to
settle with Henry and be done with it.
Let him spend his money and die in
disgrace and go to the devil; anything
is better than all this secrecy and mys-
terry that enmeshes Helen. I'm going
to end it; I'm going to end it,"
We had gone to the library, and he
threw himself down in the chair from
which she had spoken of him so short
time before that l seemed still to
feel her presence in the room.
Cheer up. lad! If we can't unite
the knot we'll lose no time cutting the
string. There may be some fun in
this business before we get through
with it,"
l began telling him of some of nv
own experiences, and won him to a
.cheerier mood. When we came round
to the Holbrooks again his depression
had passed. and we were on the best
of terms.
But there's one thing we can't get
away from, Donovan. I've got to pro-
tect Helen; don't you see? I've got to
take care of her. whatever comes"
But you can't take care of her IA
Their. He's hopeless"
Il could give him this money my.
self, couldn't 1? l can do it, and I've
about concluded that ought to do it,"
But that would be a waste. It
would be like giving whisky to a
drunkard. Money has been at the bot
tom of all this trouble"
