man who creditably followed the de-

his life had become practically vapid,
proftless. almost uncomfortable.
Robert Prince was world weary be,
cause he had no motive in life. He
had inherited money, but not a bust

practical use in the world, but did not

places, after all. are amazingly IKE

plain human beings doing common
place things in queer way and the
wonders We have anticipated with
excitement from childhood dwindle

scenery | have found which exactly

the highlands of Scotland and the only
city thus far which has surpassed my
fondest expectations is Venice.
In these days you usually enter a
town by that most depressing of back
doors, a railroad yard, hemmed about
with dingy traffic and sQualid build
ings. Venice is approached not
through the CRIME OF manufacturing
suburbs, but by a viaduct, across more
than two miles Of breezy sea, on
whose horizon seems TO lie some fair
mirage in the form OF a city-a jewel
city set clean cut in water and light.
Suddenly the sea is blotted from about
you by a wall. You are in a railroad
station.

Baked Apple PUDDING.

To 10 sour apples use one pint of
bread crumbs, four or six tablespoons
of sugar, two ounces Of butter and two
eggs. Pare, ore and cut the apples
and put them into a stewpan with the
sugar and four or six ta~blespoonfuls
Of water; cook until tender and stir
in the butter and well beaten eggs.
Coat the bottom and sides Of a well
buttered pie dish thickly with bread
crumbs, put a few pieces of butter on
top of the apple mixture, which should
fill the pie plate. Bake gently for
about three-quarters of an hour, keep

'He is well set up, with a shaven n
