GIVES THEM THE WILD FLAVOR
Housekeeper Has Thought Out Par

the Domestic Duck.

declared clever little housekeeper
the other day.
AT any rate, you would think 1t
was mallard IL you knew the delicious
and peculiar flavor of that particular
bird we'll enough to recognize it.
People say that this characteristic
flavor is due to the fact that mallard
feeds on wild celery. Well, naturally,

Above the tide OF melody, the voice
OF the evangelist rose in a scream, ap-

an accent Of gentle commiseration.

Her eyes were 50 large, and 80 soft

A Knock at the Door.
CHAPTER I,

n KNOCK at the Door.
Fran knocked at the front door. II
was too dark for her to find the bell:
however. had she found it, she would
have knocked just the same.
At first. no one answered. That was
not surprising, since everybody was
supposed to be at the Union Camp
meeting that had been advertised for
the last two months, and that any one
IN Lttleburg should go visiting at
half-past eight. and especially that any
one should come knocking at the door
OF this particular house, was almost
Incredible.
No doubt that is why the young
woman who finally opened the door
after Fran had subjected it to a sec
ond and more prolonged visitation of
her small fist-looked at the stranger
with surprise which was, in itself, re-
proof. The lady in the doorway be-
leved herself confronted by a camp
er"-one Of those fitting birds of outer
darkness who have no religion Of
their own. but who are always putting
that Of others to the proof.
The voice from the doorway was
cool. impersonal, as il. by it's very
sloofness, 1t would push the wanderer
away: What do you want?"
Il want Hamilton Gregory" Fran
answered promptly, without the
slightest trace Of embarrassment.

Mr.. Gregory"-offering the name
with its title as a palpable rebuke-
lives here, but is not at home. What
do you want, little girl?"
Where is he? Fran asked, un-
daunted.
He is at the campmeeting," the
young woman answered reluctantly,
irritated at opposition. and displeased
with herself for being irritated. What
DO you want with him? will attend

Where's that camp-meeting? How

quick rejoinder. She could not ex-

slider the others youth an advantage,
