What is the matter?" questioned
Vasili. why are you so sober; why
are you so still? Oh, you English,
cold as q stone!"
But Allard did not hear, he was
watching the next act in the splen-
did rama, when, as former regent
and first kinsman of the emperor.
Stanief moved forward to offer his
homage.
mot here" Allard implored
mutely, his eyes on the golden cen
trail figure. his hands clenched with
nervous dread for the one he loved.
Surely. surely not even Adrian will
hurt him here, before these!"
Perhaps the thought of just how
humtliating this could be made was
also present in Stanief's mind, per-
haps some deeper emotion, for there
was no trace of color in his firm,
dark face. Intent. GREATNESS, the
church looked on at the meeting, an
audience of courtiers and diplomats
whom no slightest detail escaped.
In her place Iria laid one hand
above her heart where. under vel

cross still rested

Stanief would have sunk to his
knee, Adrian make a quick step for
ward and prevented the movement.

quietly. mot now. at least" And
he embraced the other with touch
that lifted the formality to a caress.
The great mass of people re-
manned absolutely still. One would
have said there was not a breath
drawn or garment rustled. Stanief
himself faltered, shaken out of his
stoicism and flushing heavily; 1t
was a perceptible moment before he
recovered and carried on his role.

Allard saw. He saw Stanief's oath
of allegiance given and received, he
saw the second embrace which well
coined It; he heard the emperor's
graceful speech of thanks for the
long service completed now. But
no one except Stanief himself
caught the murmured answer to the
quaint, earnest phrases of feudal
loyalty:
For the second time. Feodor,"
And to the listener the cathedral
faded momentarily at the reminder:
the rose hued salon or the Nadejl
closed around.
The rest Of the affair posed more
rapidly. Adrian took Iria's hands
as she came to him and kissed her
on both cheeks. After that the 9th
ers came and went. the superb
whirl and current rushed on. Once
only the eyes of Allard and Staniei
met across the broad space, and II
they exchanged wordless relief
they held no other feeling In com
mon, for Stanief had never trusted
nor understood his cousin less
while Allard had rebound the Ad
rian he knew--the Adrian Of even
ing drives and bittersweet kindness
In the departure from the cath
edral there came brief confusion
and Encouragement.
"You will ride with me-" Adrian
said to his late regent, on the steps
"Sire-"
Take care: I am too new an
autocrat for contradiction.
So Iria went surrounded by hei
butterfly ladies', and Stanief rode
by the emperors side during that
bewildering return.

When Making Cookies.

In making cookies it Is well to re-
member that the less they are han
died the better they will be, and for
this reason 1t is good plan to roll the
cookies directly on creased sheets of
tin on which they can be baked. Have
the tinsmith cut out the pieces of tin
as large as your oven will hold. After
rolling out the dough mark the cookies
off with parallel lines. The minute
the cookies are taken out of the oven
they should be cut into oblong pieces
and taken off the tin.

this tendency with a washtub cover
that rolls up, like the curtain of bug
gy top. The cover is made of some
strong but flexible material and has
ribs running lengthwise in it. These
ribs are long enough to rest on the

sufficiently solid to hold articles of or,

then get to work without fear of the

The New Albany Mirror now
drops on our exchange table with
an extra hard thud due to an in
crease in size from five column to
a six column folio. Editor Taylor,
former editor of the News Item,
belives in keeping well toward the
head of the march of progress in
New Albany, and with an excuse
that increased advertising necessi-
tated the enlargement of his paper
which is no doubt true, has also
increased the amount of good sound,
spicy reading matter, making the
Mirror of plate-glass, bevel-edge
quality, reflector in the true

We are again told that a way has
been found to economically convert
corn stalks into print paper. AS
the same thing has been said more
than once in the past it is possible
that the last statement is also pre-
mature. still there is every reason
to believe that sooner or later corn
stalks and other substances now
wasted will be made into paper to
the no small joy of the farmer and
printer. Ultimately, no doubt,
corn-stalks will be as valuable a by
product for the farmer as cotton
seed is to the cotton growers of the
south.
