CHAPTER IL.
In Love Successful.

stop to Think" exclaimed a certain
young man to certain young woman.

tant moment of their lives. you GER

Ito tell me! Why"
He ceased, q gasp In his throat at
the unbelievable effrontery of the
woman who faced him in this situa-
ton. All he had asked Of her was to
marry him. And she had hesitated,
1t was thing incredible!
1t was Mr. Rawn, our hero. 1t could
have been almost no one else who
could have sustained precisely this at
titude at precisely such time.
AS to the young woman herself. who
now turned a somewhat pale face to
one side as she left her hand in his,
she might have been any one of many
thousand others in that city. Her hair

She wanted to be wife, loved,

dignity come. He seated himself calm
ly upon the chair and began to eat
that which had been given him of
tate. that which had been brought to
Caesar as thing due to Caesar. He
ate until at last, wearied with his la
boTs, he fell asleep.
Note now our humble moral in this
short and simple detail of our hero's
early years. He was at this moment
more nearly full of bananas than any
other human being in all the village at
that time. Yet he had attained that
success at no price save that OF the
exercise of the resources of his mind.
That is genius. Let us not smile at
young Mr.. Rawn.
His mother, stealing home by the
back way with yet other bananas con-
cealed in her apron, presently came
upon him and discovered that. after
all, her solicitude had not been need
full. Her son slept, his lower lip pro-
truding, his features grave, his legs
somewhat sprawled apart. his mid
body somewhat distended, his head
sunken forward, his hands dropping
at his side. In one hand, clutched so
tightly as to have become somewhat
worthless pulp, his mother discovered
the bulk of several bananas; in short,
the full quota which had been assigned
to two of his fellow-beings. 1t was
genius!
His mother looked upon, him as he
slept sprawled in his repletion and
made no attempt to remove the un-
eaten fruit from his hands; indeed.
made no query as to where he had OBJ
tanned it. She did not disturb his
slumbers. How like his father he
is" she whispered to herself, mindful
of certain lemons, certain beefsteaks,
certain wedding fees. certain gone and
wasted years. She did not say: How
dear he is. how sweet, how manly, how
brave, how decent, how chivalrous!'
No. with slight tightening of the lips
as she turned back to find her belated
sewing, she spoke, as though to her
self, and with no peculiar glorying In
her voice, How like he Is to his IA
ther!" And SO took up her burden.

COOKIES IN DEMAND

At Least There May Be Ideas In

Brother Frank.

The Young Person was about to
bake cookies. Brother Frank watched
her tip up the molasses jug.
Let me-" he said. that's pretty
heavy" Then, as he watched the
thick brown syrup drip slowly into
the cup-"I like lasses."
The young person laughed appreci-
atively.

she replied, rolling the cold dough
Now, go read Chapter II. in your
book there, and by that time | may

read too fast" So Frank left her to
her devices, and she went quickly
about her task. While the cup OF
molasses was reaching the boiling
point in it's granite pan on the stove.
she mixed in the big bowl two cups
of whole wheat -four, one OF rolled
oats, and one of white -four. a tea

for Frank did not like ginger. To
the hot molasses she added four level
tablespoonfuls of shortening, quarter

cup OF milk. She mixed this with
the dry ingredients, and put it on the
ice to chill while she mixed her cake,
to take advantage of the oven at its
hottest. BY the time her cake was

she replied, rolling the cold dough
very thin, cutting it deity with the
round top of cocoa tin and laying
the trim circles on a wire cake tray.
Into the oven it went, and Frank soon
shifted while she still rolled and cut.
They must be done. Sir; that's

A HERO in A SkIFF

There are now more than 200
species of birds which may be looked
for regularly along the lake during
the time of migration, Mr.. Guelph re-
ports. There are also about twenty
species that can be seen occasionally.
and twelve which have been seen but
few times and are rare.
Hudson curlew, a willet, and a
knot, birds rarely found in western
New York, were seen there this year
Mr.. Guelph says. The knot is bird
that goes far into the Arctic regions
to breed. and it migrates in winter
70 the extreme southern part of
South America.
A blue goose, one OF the rarest of
the larger water fowl, also was seen
this year There are only six records
OF its having been seen before in this
state
Gallinules. or mud hens" are more
plentiful this season than for several
years. Black ducks have been COM
mon throughout the season. Mr..
Guelph says, and early ducks are
more plentiful now than they have
been for a long time. Mr.. Guelph,
says that probably there will be good
duck shooting when the season opens.

| but short-haired furs, not SO bulky,
are invariably this season cut either
narrow or wide.
In passing. 1t may be mentioned
that furs must not be cut with scis-
sors. The home milliner or dress
maker may cut them satisfactorily by
marking line with tailor's chalk on
the skin side of the pelt and cutting
along this line with razor blade In
sewing seams two edges are held to-
! gether and overcast. Furriers use a
triangular needle, and it Is far easier
to sew skins with than the round
needle. All three edges are cutting
edges
1t will be seen from the picture that
the muffs and hats are made to
match. while the neckpieces are odd
of another kind of fur or plush. This
Is only a fancy not an established
fashion. The vogue of plain skirts
with plush jackets to match in color
does away with the need of a neck
piece other than a band Of fur around
the collar. With such suit a hat
and muff to match, trimmed with fur
like that on the collar, is delightfully."-
chic and also delightfully."- comfortable.
One can face any degree of cold with
them.
The materials used for the muffs
and turbans are many, veivets,
pushes, brocaded silks; brocaded
crepes, wide heavy brocaded ribbons,
satins and chiffon all contribute to
the making up of these smart access
series.
Muffs are fiat and soft. Lace Is
used for their trimming, and a touch
OF lace on the turban corresponds
with that on the muff AS is usual
when furs are much in fashion (they
are never QUIT metallic laces have
reappeared and are sparingly used as
decoration on fancy muffs and neck
wear, and in touches Of gold and sill,
yer on millinery.
Some of the muffs and turbans
