FLOWERS In THE HOUSEHOLD
Snapshot Of Quiet Domestic Scene
When Rivals Fought for the
Control Of Mexico.

To make flowers last a week or
more, four things are necessary. First.
do not try to arrange them the mo-
ment you get them, but put them in
pail Of water for few hours, so that
every stem will be under water up to
the flower. Second, cleanse the vase
thoroughly before putting in the flow
ers and change the water every day.
Third. the cooler you keep the flowers
the longer they will last If you are
too busy in the morning to enjoy them
or have to go out for the afternoon, do
not leave them in the living room, for
they are not used to such tempera-
ture. Every night put the vase In
cool place, or better still, plunge the
stems up to the flowers in a pail OF
water Fourth, cut about a quarter or
an inch off each stem in the morning
1t Is more trouble to do this under
water. but it pays. If you cut the
stems In the ordinary way air bubbles
get into the stems and impede the TAX
ing in of water.-Delineator-

When the Doors Parted.

What Immediately followed must
have occupied second or two at
most. Yet it seemed to me that for
many minutes sat mute and motion
less, staring at the leveled weapon
and at the rude black mask behind IT.;
for my brain was superactive and my
thoughts were racing.
Instantly I comprehended all that
had happened, and the situation. eli
making in our peril, was as clear to
me as though I had witnessed the
whole chain Of events from inception
to final execution. The assassination
of Ling Fo was to be succeeded by the
abduction, perhaps the murder, Of Eve
lyn and myself. Already while we
were conversing with Miss Clement
our driver had been spirited from the
box and one OF the enemy mounted in
his place. In the rush Of my review
] recalled that in hurrying Evelyn into
the brougham. anxious to be started
and away, had not cast even SO much
as a glance towards the man in front.
At first, in our absorption, and later
behind lowered silken shades, We had
made no effort to trace our course.
Hence our present location was mad
deningiy unguessable. We might be
far on the East side or far on the
West, or we might merely have circled
back to within block or less OF the
Mission from which we started.
All this. say. flashed through my
brain with inconceivable swiftness as
e sat rigid, with eyes on the revolver
barrel and the masked face Of the
shadowy, sinister creature that held IT..
All this, and more. For in that brief
space considered one possible course
Of action after another, cropping des-
perately for a plan Of rescue and es-
cape.
In that passing second or two there
had been no sound-no word from him
at the door; no whisper even from her
at my side, who, like myself. sat dumb
and inert, stricken to stone by the sud-
denness Of the attack. But for a Sec
ond or two only this silence and in
ertia lasted.
That which ensued was coincident.
