HOW TO BLANCH SWEETBREAD
Soak In Cold Water for TWO Hours,
Then Let Them Come to
Boil,

AS soon as the sweetbreads come
from the market place them in bowl
of cold water and let them soak for
at least two hours, and longer il they
seem to need it. Change the water
three times, or until it remains quite
clear Allow a little salt in each wa
ter Drain them, place them in a
porcelain lined saucepan, cover with
cold water and place over the fire and
let come to boil, adding pinch OF
salt. This blanches them. Then drain
them and cover with cold water to
freshen. When cold, drain them thor
oughly, press in shape with the hands
and fold in a clean cloth and set In
clean place until ready to use them. If
you wish to slice them place weight
on them to f1atten them.

Dish That VIII Tickle
the Palate.

Take a pound of sweetbreads, re'
move all the rough parts and soak In
cold water over night in a cool place.
In the morning wash them, cover with
cold water and place over the fire.
AS soon as the water boils pour it of,
put on more and let simmer half an
hour. Add a teaspoonfuI of salt be-
fore taking from the fire.. Drain from
the hot water, plunge into cold water
and then drain. If the sections have
a pink tinge when pulled apart and
the thin membrane removed they are
not cooked enough, so boil a few min
utes longer. Never allow them to
boil hard and fast-just barely sim
mer. Slice them and fry brown in two
tablespoonfuls of butter or drippings.
Pare fine, medium-sized tomatoes and
cut into small pieces. When the
sweetbreads are brown remove them
and cook the tomatoes in the butter
in which the sweetbreads were fried.
Stir often and let them cook to pieces.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and
cloves. When the tomatoes have
cooked smooth stir in teaspoonful
of butter rolled in flour; drop the
sweetbreads into the tomato, boil up
once and serve.

Now Betty caught sight OF Caring

nibal and the Judge, she had been I'M
aware of his presence. Darlington
stepped forward.
Have you met Mr.. Norton, and my
brother, Mr.. Carrington?" she asked.
The two young men shook hands,
and Ware improved the opportunity
to inspect the newcomer. But as
his glance wandered over him, it took
cluded the fine figure and swarthy
face of Captain Murrell, who, with
his eyes fixed on Betty, was thrusting
his eager way through the crowd.
MurreI had presented himself at
Belle Plain the day before. For up
ward OF a year, Ware had enjoyed
great peace of mind as a direct re-
suit of his absence from west Ten
nessee, and when he thought of him
at all he had invariably put period

More than this, Betty had spoken

He was not to repeat that visit.

Hannibal, he had gone white to the
lips, and his small hand clutched hers
desperately.
Murrell, with all his hardihood,
realized that a too great confidence
had placed him in an awkward posi-
ton, for Betty turned her back on
him and began an animated conver-
sation with Darlington and Charley
Norton.
Hicks, the Belle Plain overseer,
pushed his way to Murrell's side.
Here, John Murrell, amt you 60

Murrell turned quickly with a sense

OUTFIT FOR READING IN BED
Russian Blouse Gown and Cap Go
With This Somewhat Repre-
hensibIe Habit.

To read while in bed is most repre-
hensible, but If you persist in the
practice be sure to have the proper
outfit-a Russian blouse reading
gown and a curl paper covering cap.
The gown, which reaches almost to
the knees, is a front closing blouse
with elbow length cutin-one sleeves
and roundabout neck which is fin
ished with a broad collarette Of side
plated white maline. You may make
the blouse of pale-toned wool, satin or
messaline, and embroider or applique
1t with birds and butterflies or of a
f1owered thin silk lined with light
weight flannel. Just above the nor
NAL waist line draw in the fulness
with a rope of silk cordage. The cap
of silk matching the grounding of the
gown is meraly circular piece fulled
on to a narrow ribbon, over which
is placed wide frill of plated maline,
and at one side, usually above the left
ear tip, may be placed a big bow Of
black velvet ribbon.

Boots for Trampine.

Such boots as are to be dedicated
to tramping should be scrubbed we'll
with English harness soap and then
treated to two coats of a good water
proofing oil. This will keep them soft,
no matter how often they are soaked.
These little attentions bestowed on
well-built shoes will do much toward
keeping their wearers we'll shod and
will save many dollars.
When it comes to buying It must be
remembered that summer means loose
shoes or else discomfort. A ready
made shoe should be bought either a
trif1e wider than the size usually worn
or else half size longer. This will
be found a great saving on the stock
ings, too.

CHAPTER XII.
The Portal of Hopel


This" the speaker was Judge
Price; this is the place for me. They
are a warm-hearted people. sir; a
prosperous people, and patriotic
people with an unstinted love OF coun

and Raleigh. Betty had carried Han.

Plain.

Endorsement of my own class. | feel
that 1 shall have it here" resumed
the judge pensively. "Will you stroll
into town with me, Solomon" he
asked. Mahaffy shook his head.
Then let your prayers follow me,
for I'm Off" said the judge.
Ten minutes walk brought him to
the door of the city tavern, where he
found Mr.. Pegloe directing the activi-
ties of small colored boy who was
mopping out his bar. To him the
judge made known his needs.
Coin to locate, are you?" said Mr
Pegloe
MY friends urge 1t, sir, and l have
taken the matter under considera-
tion," answered the judge
We'll, the only empty house In
town is right over yonder; it belongs
to young Charley Norton out at
Thicket Point Plantation"
The house Mr. Pegloe pointed out
was small frame building; it stood
directly on the street, with a narrow
porch across the front, and a shed
addition at the back. The Judge scut-
tied over to 1t. The judges pulse
quickened. What location, and
what fortunate chance that Mr.. Nor
ton was the owner Of this most desir-
able tenement! He must see him at
once. AS he turned away to recross
the street and learn from Mr. Pegloe
by what road Thicket Point might be
reached, Norton himself galloped into
the village. Catching sight of the
judge, he reined in his horse and
swung himself from the saddle.
Il was hoping. sir, might find
you" he said.
"A wish l should have echoed had
l been aware of it," responded the
Judge. Il was about to do myself
the honor to wait upon you at your
plantation"
Then L have saved you a long
walk" said Norton. He surveyed the
Judge rather dubiously. but listened
with kindness as he explained the
business that would have taken him
to Thicket Point
THE house Is quite at your serv-
ice, sir" he said, at length.
The rent" began the judge.
But Mr. Norton, with a delicacy
equal to his own. entreated him not
to mention the rent. The house had
come to him as boot in a trade 1t
had been occupied by doctor and a
lawyer; these gentlemen had each de-
camped between two days, heavily in
debt at the stores and taverns, espe-
cially the taverns. And thus hand
somely did Charley Norton acquit
himself of the mission he had under
taken at Betty Malroy's request.
That same morning Tom Ware and
Captain Murrell were seated in the
small detached building at Belle Plain,
known as the Office, where the former
spent most OF his time when not In
the saddle.
