Lizzie, dear, she's the agent for
the cotton company-just a bust
ness woman, who is negotiating
for the years output. You didn't
think"
Suddenly he caught her in his
arms. Lizzie" he whispered,
with his face very close to hers,
did you think I had forgotten?
Don't you know my father sent
me away to college because 1
cared? I want you, Lizzie, just
as I always did; I want a girl of
my own country and my own peo-
pie, not-MiSs Keith!'
And the clatter of the re-
awakening mill suddenly turned
into music.

PEPPERMINT DROPS

Measure two cups of grant,
lated sugar and put in a saucepan.
Add a cup of cold water and set
the pan on-a hot part of the stove.
Boil for 20 minutes, stirring occa-
sionally. When it seems done try,
by dropping little into a glass
of cold water. It should get
stringy and hard. Next take the
pan from stove and pour the
syrup into a glass or bowl in
which there is a teaspoonful of
peppermint extract. Stir the mix
ture in the bowl rapidly with
teaspoon until the syrup gets
thick and creamy white.
Have ready a large, fiat sheet
of wrapping. paper on the kitchen
table and onto this drop little
round dabS of the mixture as
rapidly as possible. Don't let the
mixture get too cool and stiff by
stirring it longer than necessary.
This recipe makes about half a
pound of peppermint.

The forest extended almost to the
mill fence; it was part of the old
Adams estate and sacred against
the axe. In the distance, through
the trees, Lizzie could see the red
brick house. A thought came to
her. Why should she not run
away! Why not just walk and
walk and walk into those green
vistas of trees, anywhere, so long
as she never turned back?
No! So long as her mother
lived she must go back, from day
to day, to endure the. jeers and
SCOTS and coarse speech of those
others who recognized that she
was not one of them, and envied
and hated her.
Suddenly shadow fell across
her path and she found herself
looking up into the face of a
bronzed young man whose eyes
were bent upon her with unmlS-
taxable interest.
LizzieP exclaimed the mill
owner, Il saw you leaving the
grounds, and followed you. How
do you do? I've often thought of
you since we parted-let me see,
years ago. 1t must be-"

AMERICAN SUFFRAGETTES
LIKE ENGLISH METHODS

Washington, d. c., Feb. S.-Shiyers
OF apprehension ran up and down the
spines of government officials ami
members of congress today when 1
was learned that the American suf-
fragists. whose national headquarters
are here, do not look with entire dis
favor upon the militant methods of
their sister suffragettes in England
against the officials OF the crown ana
the members of parliament.
Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, one OF
the prominent suffragist leaders, told
a crowded meeting of the Federal
Womans Equality Association last
night that the window smashing, po-
lice fighting English suffragists had
made possible the advancement of the
cause in the United States.
The English women have been

driven to the militant methods, ami
We should not blame them, said Mrs.
Colby. They always stop at the
actual taking Of life, and while l be-
lieye in peace, and would not advocate
the militant methods for the United
States, we must realize that the WORK
done in England has had effect in
America"
The Rev Olympia Brown of Wis
consin, president of the association,
does not hold the same view as Mrs.
Colby.
She blames the exereme suffragis :
for the recent defeat of woman sui
