CHAPTER VI.

The Message From Hel0oIand.
The election was over Astra Pru-
dent daughter of Hannibal Prudent,
had been elected President OF the
United I.epublics of America. The
dignified Ambrosio Hale won the vice
presidency. The elections OF the south
ern republics took place at different
dates, but throughout the continent
the continentals were in power.
The girl, upon whom future respon-
sibilities rested heavily, was strength
ening herself for coming events. She
was occupied consulting politicians,
generals, admirals, making flying trips
to the Notifications that we're rapidly
going up, or being remodeled accord
ing to the new requirements OF the
times.
Constantly she expected news from
the man she had seen only once, the
man whom she looked upon as the de-
liverer of the American continent, and
also the man she loved.
Days, weeks, months went by. The
day of Inauguration came. She had
expected confidently that she would
hear from him, or see him on the day
she took the oath at the capitol, but
she was disappointed.
The whole American continent cele-
brated the day, but it was empty OF
Joy for her, the President.
She appeared in white, simple,
beautiful, unadorned except for the
ring which he had given and she al
ways wore. She looked like bride
on her way to the altar with the man
she had chosen.
The ceremonies occupied almost the
entire day, and the evening was spent
at the ball given by the continental
lists. Throughout the congratulations
that were received a shadow was how
ering over all.
1t was late when Astra arrived at
her home. She looked over the cor
respondence that awaited her. There
was no line from the man whose hand
writing she had never seen, no news
whatever from Napoleon Edison.
Yet he had said: you will hear
from me as soon as I can tell you
something definite. When you need
me 1 will be at your side ready to
help you"
With these thoughts to console her
she bent her head to sleep.
The President was at her Office
early the next morning. Her first Of
fetal action was to consult with the
military commanders, then to send
out proclamation to all the republics
Of the greatest union Of the world,
giving them detailed instructions re-
garding the defense of the continent.
In accordance with the decision of
the most competent military men,
General Eugene Grant Gunner was ap-
pointed commander in chief of the con-
tinental armies of America. Exten-
sive arrangements were made to en-
list those who we're willing to take up
arms for the defense of their country,
and the old form of national guard
tactics we're revived.
Astra labored day and night though
she prayed that God would prevent
the bloodshed for which she was pre-
pairing her people. Such were her
thoughts and still no news came from
the man who had promised SO much.
Her cheeks began to lose their
color, and her large eyes often looked
longingly into the distance. 'sWhy
does he not come? Why does he not
send message?"
The Vice-president, Mr.. Hale, was
announced to her one evening. He

FIavors That May Be Added
as Desired.

The full value of butter, both as an
q nnetizer, as a nourishing article OF
.diot as a seasoning and as q garnish-
ing. Is realized by very few COOKS.
Rutter is really one Of the most valu-
HE foods in the larder. It is not
merely to spread chunkily on bread
although it is good enough there; u
should be made an interesting part
Of the meals at which 1t Is served.
In middle class French families the
real value Of butter is better under
stood than it is here. Every morning
the butter Is left at the door, just as
the milk Is; and 1t is fresh. creamery
butter. too, for the most part always
fresh instead OF salt The butter IS
then chilled and shaved into wafer
like strips for breakfast, to be eaten
with the rolls that form the body OF
this meal. At luncheon butter Is ire
ouently served-always daintily- with
bread and radishes, or some other
side dish, as an appetizer. Then, eat
en- slowly, its goodness can be appre-
ciated.
If the making of butter pats or
molds Is a burden, try making them
only once in three days. Keep them
in a bowl of ice water in the refriger-
ator, and they will retain their shape
even in the warmest weather. 1t does
sometimes seem troublesome for maid
or mistress to have to spend five or
ten minutes before each meal making
butter pats; but fifteen minutes once
in two or three days will be enough
for the making of many molds, since
the utensils and materials need only
be got out once, and since certain
deftness comes with repeated making.
and the second score of butter balls
can be made in half the time 1t took
to make the first score.
The small wooden molds are easier
to manage than paddles, and surely
prints of butter from the molds look
and taste as well as balls Of butter
formed with the paddles. To manage
the molds, wash them In Ice water,
and then stamp the butter out care
fully, taking care to push the bottom
Of the mold as far out as possible be-
fore removing the print. The butter
should be cold when it is printed.
Horseradish butter is good with
cold meats and 1t is also delicious to
use when making meat sandwiches.
To make 1t, cream two tablespoonfuls
Of butter, add two of freshly grated
horseradish, tablespoonful of thick
cream and half q teaspoonful Of lemon
Juice. Keep 1t on the ice.
Maitre d'hotel butter Is used to
spread over broiled steak or fish. To
make 1t. cream two tablespoonful of
butter, add slowly half teaspoonful
of salt, an eighth of teaspoonful of
white pepper, tablespoonful of lem
on Juice and the same amount of
minced parsley.
Parsley butter can be used with
vegetables. To make 1t cream three
tablespoonful of butter and add a
tablespoonful of lemon Juice. the same
amount Of minced parsley and half
teaspoonful of salt.
