Colo. Value In Plants.

Color value in foliage is a very I'M
portant point too often overlooked by
garden wners. Homes surrounded by
heavy masses of dark, somber foliage
do not enjoy that cheerful, inviting
and hospitable appearance every home
should bear. Dark and heavy foliage
should be kept in the rear of a solid
background against which the brighter

then Jimmy Hambleton had been free
,of his passion for the Face. His

by a joyous swim, a lusty call to the
yacht for Help" and a growing
4amazement when he realized that 1t
was the yachts intention to pass him
by. He had swum valiantly. deter
mined to get picked up by that par

strength failed. He remembered
thinking that It was all up with him,
and then he lost consciousness.
When he awoke he was on q hard
bunk in a dim place, and a sailor was
Jerking him about. His throat burned
with q fiery liquid. Then he felt the

II was indeed the Jeanne dare,
as Jim proved for himself the
next day, and he was lying in the
seamen's quarters in the fo'casle. BY
morning he felt much better. hungry.

a bargain with one of the sailors for

clothing was in sight. and no cajolery
or promise of reward could persuade
the ships men into supplying his

When Jim descended the hatchway
after reoonnoitering on deck. Chate-
lard was gone. The ships cook was
rummaging In q sailors kit that he
had drawn from . locker. Jim e
tally considered the situation. The
seamen had NO doubt exaggerated the
calamity, but without question there
was serious trouble. Were the pumps
working? How far were they from
shore? II h~opelessly distant from
shore. were they In the course OF
passing steamers? Would any one
look after Miss Redmond's safety?
Monsieur Chatelard had said that she
was not on board, but James did not
believe 1t.
While these thoughts few through
his mind, James had been absently
watching while the cook turned his
treasures out upon his bunk. and
paved them over with trembling
hands. There we're innumerable little
things besides q stiff white shirt, q
cheap shiny Bible, a stuffed parrot
and several wads Of clothes. And
among the mess Jim caught sight OF
a piece Of stitched canvas that looked
familiar.
Hi, you there! That's my money
belt!" he cried. and jumped forward
to claim his own. But In his move
ment he failed to calculate with the
waves. The yacht gave another o.
her deep-sea plunges, and Jimmy

grab his kit and make for the ladder
He regained his feet only in time to
follow at arms length UP the hatch

instead Of a foot. he found himself
clutching one Of the weeds oil

1t. but the ships cook and the rest OF
his booty disappeared like q rabbit In

Jim sat down at the top Of the lad

two men, and his teeth chartered.
Fear had possession Of him.
Jim lifted his revolver well out of
reach. and backed of from Chatelard.
For the first time during the inter
view between the American and the
Frenchman, the two now faced each
other as man to man, with the mask
of their suspicious, their vanities and
their hate cast aside.
What is the matter? What is this
fool saying?" Jim asked In loathing.
At last Monsieur Chatelard looked
at Jim with eyes of fear. His face be-
came so pale and drawn that 1t re-
sembled q sponge from which the last
drop Of water had been pressed.

Many Valuable Suggestions Are Of.
fersd on How to Regulate
Your Oven.

That water should not be put into an
open 'meat-pan it's place being supplied
by bits Of fat from the roast. or by
dripping.
That a rack made of wire should
support meat In the roasting.pan to
prevent It from sticking to the bot
tom and being unevenly roasted.
That all cut meat should first be
laid on the rack skin-side downward.
provided the hottest air is above. In
order that the lean part. from which
juices might escape. may be at once
crusted over to retain them.
That a six-pound roast In a little
oven requires one hours roasting to
be rare. and one hour and quarters
to be well done.
That to lessen such heat at once
for roasting properly. after the scar.
ing is completed. a pan of cold water
may be set into the oven and the draft
somewhat reduced.
That the double roasting. pans, with
close-ftting covers, are most convent

oalycIiIo Acid, SAN and Vinegar Have
Been successfully Used on the
string Variety.

Three ways Of canning string beans,
an Of which are successful, are. by
using salycilic acid, salt and vinegar.
To those who like vinegar on their
beans anyway the vinegar method 10
the best and safest.
The beans are cooked perfectly
done and q few may be canned at a
time when they are being cooked for
dinner, as It rarely happens that the
housewife can get enough beans for
more than a can or two at time.
Put the cooked beans in glass Jars.
add three tablespoonfuls of good vim.
egar to each quart and seal the bottle
while boiling hot.
There will be no spoiled Jars, for
they will be both canned and picked.
When ready to use them simply
heat but do not boil. Since so many
use vinegar when eating string beans
this will be no objection.
In using salt the same method ,s fol.
lowed except that teaspoonful Of salt
is placed on top of the beans after
each quart can is filed and then sealed
hot.
This method Is not as successful
az the vinegar. Tho use OF preserva.

are inclined to recommend less highly.
