Charles Frohman was talking to q
Philadelphia reporter about the impor-
lance Of detail 'eThose who work for
me-" he said, follow my directions
down to the very smallest item. To
go wrong in detail. you know, is often
to go altogether wrong like the dis
sipated husband. A dissipated hus-
band. as he stood before his house In
the small hours searching for his
latchkey, muttered over and over to
himself: Now, which did my wife
-hic-have two Whistles an gel
home by twelve, r-hic-have twelve
whiskies an get home by two?"

BASE BALL

The River Falls team went to
Prescott last Sunday and carried off
second honors in a six-inning game
with the team of that city. Both
teams scored In the first round, but
River Falls stopped at that, while
Prescott added three more to their
count, one in the fourth and two in
the fifth. The poor batting af both
teams was the feature of the game.
The game was called off in the sixth
inning on account of rain.

1t will be noticed that the amount
on hand this year is a little less
than the amount year ago, about
$458 less. During the year our fan
and motor went back on us, and we
spent more than $3.50 replacing
them. Also, we spent nearly $500
more for fuel than usual, due in
part to the hard winter and the loss
of the fan, and in part to the fact
that we bought some fuel ahead for
next year, having had good chance
to buy about SO tons of coal. These
two items more than make up the
difference in cash on hand.

Clarified Syrup.

French recipes sometimes call for
clarified syrup. Here is Francatellis 5
method of preparing 1t: To every
pound of the finest loaf sugar add
rather more than a pint OF water
When the sugar is dissolved add half
the white of an egg whipped up in
a little water. Whisk the whole to-
gether, set the stew pan on the fire
and as soon as the syrup begins to
boil set 1t down where It will cook
more slowly. Let 1t simmer gently un-
til all the scum rises to the top. Re
move all as 1t rises, and on removing
from the fire strain through napkin.
Keep 1t in a cool place for use In max.

"He might be her great uncle, "
Hugh argued weakly.
"Girls don't dress up in pink tea
gowns because great uncIes love
them in Them" the imps chided.
and Hugh again felt the cloud of
doubt.
"And no note should come be-
fore yours" finished the voice in
derision.
'When Liverpool was reached
Hugh landed and spent every mo

vertisement. He wanted not to
think, but only to pass the time in
some way until Lucy could speak to
him.
He made numerous trips to the
steamship office and spent hours
wondering when the boat would
dock.
Instead of the boat docking on
Tuesday it was a full day late,
having been held up on account of
fogs. When the great ship moved
pondero usly in, Hugh had a momen-
tary shock. Lucy might possibly
have left the boat at Fishguard.
1t was Is long minutes before Cam
eron recognized the long. cloud like
blue of the chiffon on 'Lucy's hat.
She was waving frantically but
when they drew nearer, Hugh saw
that her eyes were wistful. He
knew then that he had wronged her.
1t seemed another endless time
before she was coming down the
gang plank.
She crept into the arms Hugh had
unconsciously held out to her.
"Forgive me, the Scotchman
said.
Forgive you? Why, Hugh, you
are an angel to ask that Lucy
rested a moment in her returned
happiness, then said with her ador-
able smile, "Hugh-Teddy is my
girl chum. Her name is Theodore. -
"You have never spoken Of her. -
Cameron said, but he was scarcely
conscious of speaking. Doubt and
suspicion had passed from his mind
and nothing remained to think of
save the one fact that Lucy was in
his arms.
