As he was about to turn in that
night Ross heard horse cross the
bridge and, with intent to warn the
rider Of his danger, went to the door
and called out: "Halti Who's thereY'

"ff Lie weren't so far away she'd
come and nurse me. Pm pretty sick"
Swenson came back to say that
probably Redfeld and the doctor
would reach the station by noon, and
thereafter. for the reason that Cava-
nagh expected their coming, the hours
dragged woefuly. It was after
o'clock before Swenson announced
that two teams were coming with
three men and two women In them.
They'll be here in half an hour"
The rangers heart leaped. Two
women Could one OF them be Lee
I Virginia? What folly--whnt sweet,
desperate folly! And the other--shc
could not be Lie, for Lie was too
: feeble to ride so far. "Stop them on
the other side Of the bridge" he com
manded. Don't let them cross the
creek on any pretext."
As he stood in the door the Gutter
Of handkerchief, the waving OF a
hand, made his pulse glow and his
eyes grow dim. 1t was Virginia!

Cavanagb saw her advancing and as
she came near enough for his voice to
reach her he called out: Don't come
any closer! Stop. tell you" His
voice was stern. "You must not come

as he recognized tho young student
who passed for physician In the
Fork. He was benrdless youth or
small experience and no great cour-
age, and as he approached with hest
.ant feet he asked
'Are you sure It's smallpox
Cavanagh smiled "The indications
are all that way. That last importa-
ton Of Basques brought 1t probably
from the stcerage Of the ship. I'm
told they've had several cases over IN
the basin"
I Have you been vaccinatedT'
'Yes, when was In the army"
"Then you're all right"
II hope So"
There was certain comic relief 10
this long distance diagnosing Of
Cease" by boy, and yet the tragic
fact beneath 1t all was that Wether-
ford was dying, a broken and dishou
ored husband and father, and that lIis
identity must be concealed from MS
wife and daughter, who were mucn
more deeply concerned over the ran
ger than over the desperate condition
Of his patient, "And this must CON
tinue to be go" Cavanagh decided.
And as he stood there looking toward
the girls fair figure on the bridge he
came to the final, fixed determination
never TO speak ono word OF make n

that the rangers face, though tired,
showed no sign OF Illness and was re-
lieved. "Who Is this old herder" lio
asked Hasn't he any reLiiivcs In

Cavanagh, convinced that the old
mans mind was too deeply affected to
enable him to find his way back over
the rough trail that night, spoke to
him gently. "Ill get you something to
eat" he said. "Sit down here and
rest and compose yourself"
Wetherford turned wild eye on the
ranger as he re-entered. "Who's out

homes, tables and persons express .
pleasing individuality.
We all like immaculate homes, free
from dust, disorder and confusion, but
when one pair of hands has to do all
the choice must be made between the
necessities and the things that can be
sighted. We can do away with few
les frills and furbelows on our cook
ing and clothes, unnecessary securing
of things already clean, but We needs
must look after the health of the
family, to see that the food that they
have served is both nourishing and
good to look at; that our sinks and
wash bowls are kept clean. that our
dishes are washed with care and
cleanliness. Other things can wait
or take less time, but the things that
affect the health and happiness are
essentials and of course vary in diff
ferent homes.
Tomatoes and Macarori.-Scald a
pint of cream over hot water. add half
a pound of diced cheese and when 1t
is melted add a fourth of a cup of
butter and dash of salt and paprika.
Arrange around five baked tomatoes
a half pound of cooked macaroni laid
in a wreath. Pour over the cheese
mixture, and serve.
Meat RaIIs-Put through the meat
grinder sufficient cold meat to make
a cupful; add cup of cold cooked
rice and season with salt and pepper.
Beat one egg and add to 1t two table
spoonfuls of milk. Pour about two
tablespoonfuls Of this over the meat
and rice to bind them together; If too
dry, add little more milk. Dip out
a spoonful of the mixture, roll in
crumbs, dip in egg and fry in just
enough butter to keep them from
burning.

THE UBIQUITOUS POTATO.

This common vegetable of Mother
Earth has many possibilities for food
depending upon the skill and training
Of the hand that prepares it. In the
use Of the potato there is a varying
degree of proficiency.
The bachelor maid or man may pre-
pare delicious and wholesome soup
with little gas burner and a potato
or two.
A variety of e3ups may be served to
vary the monrtony, by adding fresh
celery to the potatoes while cooking,
or celery salt for seasoning. Onion
may be s',ald@d In the milk, thus CIV
ing each soup an individuality of its
own
The variations and seasonings of
potato soup, though many OF them
slight. will count up into the hun
dreds.

tatoes ami one carrot, cut in small
pieces ami cook until tender. Chop a
small orion and brown in a table
spoonful Of fat. Add tablespoonful
of -four; add to the mashed potato

cooked. Season to taste.
Potato Soup.-Cut up and boil two
potatoes in a quart of water; mash
and strain. Add a pint of milk and a
tablespoonful Of -four and butter that
have bsen cooked together; season
with salt. pepper and onion or garlic

Another Potato Soup.-Chop slice
of salt pork and put into sauce pan
with small piece of onion, chopped;
fry light brown. Add four potatoes
cut fine, cover with quart of boiling
water cad cook until the potatoes are
tender. Rub through sieve, season

soup makes a great improvement in
its ppsarance.

Tree Destroyers.

Porcupines are good climbers, and
when unable to get enough apples
wind-blown to the ground, swarm
tree and cut down the finest bearing
limbs as quickly and neatly as beav-
er can sever the trunk of young
hemiocl1. Besides that, when other
food is scarce they nibble the bark
off young apple trees. and can destroy
a newly planted orchard in a short
time. They also are a great enemy to
the young spruce, but why they cut
them is a mystery, as it is not found
that they even eat the tenderest
shoots.
