SOUP STOCK
Stock is the broth resulting from
long gentle cooking in water of meat,
poultry or fish. Pieces of tough mus
Gle or bone, such as skin, neck, OK
tails or calves heads would be of lit
tie value prepared any other way and
are used for soups. If the meat is cut
from the bones cracked, a greater pro-
portion of nutriment is obtained and
raw meat of courseOwill yield more
han that already cooked. One and
one-half pints of cold water are used
fer each pound Of meat and bone and
one-half cup of mixed vegetables for
each pound; bay .eaf and cloves in
small quantities may be used. Here
is where the fine art comes in, in
making soups. No rule or recipe can
be given fer each f1avoring or amount
of vegetables used, but the keen sense
ofitas-e in the one who is preparing
1t must determine the delicacy OF
/ flavor.

prefer. will you have the goodness
to come this way?"
At the door half a dozen soldiers
sprang from the ground, where they
had been squatting in the Moorish
fashion. Without violence, but i'm
peratively, they compelled Paul to &C
company them through numerous cor
ridors and rooms, each of which was
concealed by a heavy curtain, until
they arrived at small cell, plainly
furnished in the European fashion.
Paul spent the rest of the day there
and the night that came after, not
tasting the food which was brought to
him for fear of poison.
When the first shafts Of the rising
sun struck through his window his
captors unlocked the door and ushered
him into a closed carriage, drawn by
two Arab stations, which waited out
eide in the courtyard. One of the
men entered with him; the blinds
were drawn across the carriage win
dowS, and they drove for an inter-
minable period. When at last the
carriage halted and Paul descended
he was almost blinded by the blaze of
fierce. tropical sunlight which beat
upon him, so that for some time he
could hardly grasp his relationship to
the outside world.
He was in the palace no longer but
in the great market-place of the city
of Fee. He stood before sort OF

hunter that he went to the Sultans
palace Immediately after his arrival,
leaving his equipment in the French
camp outside the walls. French troops
were In possession of the citadel, the
city was French-but Morocco was
not yet French, and technically
France was merely his majesty's ally
against the rebellious tribes. Paul
found everything in confusion at the
palace. The Sultan, morose and de-
spondent, had shut himself up in his
palace with his favorite wife. the
Shereefa. He had executed two of
his ministers as traitors and had dis
missed the remainder, had cut OFF all
relations with the French garrison,
and alternately planned war upon
them and sent presents to Comman-
der Caillard, in token of fealty. I'm
der plea of indisposition the Sultan
refused to see them. France was
growing impatient; the treaty must
be signed acknowledging the French
nrotectorate. If Paul could present
his credentials and obtain his majes-
tvs signature the French would be
checkmated and the struggle would
be transferred to the chancellories
of Madrid and Paris, while England
and Germany would instantaneously
mobilize their war-heets.

he had engaged at lavish wage and
pledged to silence, tell him that /

added, "Mahmud is very angry about

the French camp again.
&. After waiting for half an hour in
dire perplexity he began to examine
his surroundings.
There was a large hall adjoining
the room in which he sat, and Paul
strolled into it. It was a small, mar
row chamber without outlet, and evil
IDENTIFY formed the inmost portion of
the palace. for it was heaped with an
astonishing display of treasures.
A sound at the outside door dis
tracted him from his speculations and
he passed back hastily into the ante
room, just In time to give the impress
sion of having been waiting there
to a short, fat, black-bearded man of
middle age, attired in an immaculate
white robe and turban, who strobe
fiercely in, accompanied by the cring-
ing interpreter whom Paul had left
at the palace gates. Behind them ap-
peared the Frenchwoman. She smiled
at Paul no longer but ranged herself
at the side of the Sultan and began
speaking in passionate tones. He
listened and nodded, then spoke curt
~ to the interpreter
What do you want?" asked the lat

savagely at Paul.

4 AS Paul stared at this apparition
the monster trumpeted shrilly and
rushed toward him, swinging It's
trunk like an enormous fail. There
existed no doubt whatever as to its
intentions. Paul lodged agilely and
ran past the beast, which, too bulky
to turn swiftly, butted its massive
forehead against the masonry i'm
mediately behind the place which
Paul had occupied.

But why the elephant9" asked
Paul.
Because. Monsieur, Mahmud would
pull load equivalent to that OF &

man.
And this Mahmud of yours?"
Alas, he too is In Fee. He would
not leave Mademoiselle Guepin, for
she had acquired a wonderful power
over him. It was a strange contrast,
that frail, delicate, woman, and the
great beast. A rogue elephant he
was, monsieur. a furious monster of
whom all stood in dread. Even /

Mademoiselle Guepin could make him
heed her lightest word, and by rea-

LIGHTNING
PLAYS HAVOC
Puts the Local Street Car Line
Out Of commission-came
Near killing Man.

Lightning played havoc in
Wahpeton and Breckenridge July
fourth. Old timers state that it
was the worst electrical storm
in their experience. For period
of half-hour or more, the sky
was emblazoned with zig-zag
streaks of fire, followed by deaf
ening retorts which kept the more
timid in a fervor of constant ex-
citement.
There were numerous instances
where lightning struck and did
damage. The street railway com
pany was the heaviest loser on
account of the storm. Lightning
hit their wires and burned out
an armature at the power house,
putting it out of commission.
1t was necessary to suspend
operation until Tuesday morning
when new armature was receiv-
ed from st. Paul. Henry Har-
tung, superintendent, went to st.
Paul on the first train following
the storm and bought the new
equipment. The accident made q
big difference in the company's s
revenue, in addition to the dam
age to their machinery.
The Schultz residence on Sew
enth st., was one of the buildings
which suffered. A bolt hit the
cupalo and tore off some shingles
in addition to starting a fire. The
fire department responded pluck
lily, although forced TO wade thru
seas of water, and extinguished
the blaze before much damage
was done.
The grandstand at the fai,
grounds was also hit, the shocl
putting the electric wires out Of
commission. Several other build.
ings were hit.
A queer freak Of the lightning
was when it struck an umbrella
being carried by ]. ]. Richter. Il
damaged the umbrella but Mr.
Richter escaped unhurt. He says
he felt the shock in his arm fol
several minutes after it struck.
