Today's Short Story.
After Many
Years
ANTHONY OLCOTT was romantic.
~ He fell in love with Marguerite

ANTHONY OLCOTT was romantic.
He fell in love with Marguerite
Searle, and when her mother
would not consent to the marriage he
felt that the bottom had fallen out of
the universe Marguerite would not
marry him without that consent, and
as there was no hope and he felt he
could not live near her and not possess
her he went to a point as far distant
from his eastern home as he could well
get within the limits Of the United
States. He settled in Seattle.
Marguerite married to suit her moth
er about year after Olcotts de-
parture, but Olcott did not hear of it
till long after and then only that she
was married
Then Olcott's uncle died and left him
q fortune on condition that he should
take the uncle's name, Howe Olcott
accepted the terms and the fortune
and went east to manage his estate.
He was now forty instead Of twenty
and began to feel the necessity of a
companion.
Among those to whom he was intro
duced after his return to the east was
a Mrs. Harding, a widow. There was
something about her that reminded
him of his old love At any rate he
made up his mind the first time he
saw her that she was the woman he
wanted. He was hurried into a some
what precipitate proposal from the
Tact that she was preparing for two
years absence in Europe. Howe de-
termined to stop this if possible, and
the only way he knew to go about it
was to offer her the position he had in
mind.
81 know" he said to her, "that we
have both passed that romantic period

WAYS OF USING HAM.

Sliced ham is more tender if it
is baked than if fried. Cut
slice three-quarters of an inch
thick, put it into a small enamel
pan, turn three-quarters of a
cupful of milk over it, cover and
bake for an hour and a quarter
For luncheon grind the ends of
boiled ham and mix 1t with a
button onion that has been chop
ped fine and little minced pars-
ley. Put the mixture into a pan
with a little butter and moisten
with hot water or cream. Sim
mer four or five minutes and
then heap on slices of toast.
For curly bacon cut it very
thin and half cook it in boiling
water; then curl it, fasten in
shape with a toothpick and broil
it over the fire.
A little grated American cheese
mixed with minced ham used in
sandwiches is delicious if the
sandwich is fried brown and
served very hot.
Cold ham is tasty if it is shred
ded and cooked In currant jelly
sauce. Put cupful of the shred
ded ham into saucepan with a
level tablespoonful of butter and
half a cupful of currant jelly.
AS soon as the jelly and butter
begin to bubble add four table
spoonfuls of sherry and a sea-
soning of paprika, Simmer the
mixture about five or six min
utes and serve with toast

HOLD YOUR SHOULDER UP.

Hints come from Paris that the
ingenue slouch, by whatever
name it goes-the dropping figure
is doomed to pass the way of
all the fashionable figures of the
past. So the girl who has let
her fine, straight back get
curved and her broad, full chest
get fiat must set about hold
ing herself up again. You might
as we'll be in the vanguard of
the upright figure, even if you
have just learned to carry off the
fashionable slouch gracefully,
without suffocating yourself by
contracting your chest.
At the time that the dropping
figure first became fashionable
some theatrical man dubbed it
the 'ingenue slouch," it is said.
1t was adopted by all the chorus
girls of Broadway.
Doubtless some equally obser-
want theatrical manager will find
some good name for the upright
figure, if it really does become
fashionable.

Not Much of a Rabbit.

A little boy was carrying a pet rab-
bit in his arms when suddenly it
sprang from him and ran away. With
all haste he ran after it, calling fran
tically, Come, bunny, come; come
back, bunny" But bunny did not
come back and did not even pause in
his fight to the fields. The little fel-
low ceased his futile efforts to recap
lure the fugitive and, while the tears
forced themselves out of his eyes,
shook his fist and shouted, "Well, run,
then; you're not much of rabbit any
how"
