CHAPTER XXI.
NEMESIS.

From that night Curran went about
his work as If a lamp lighted the way
for his feet. He amazed his supporters
in The concluding weeks of the cam
paign. A serene, yet boyish joy, a con-
ident step, a Frightening eye, and
brilliant daring in debates; a sense Of
power discovered and the rapture of
achievement.

After Duck Hunters.

From the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
AT Pekin one duck hunter was arrested
others. The man who was arrested has
been taken to Springfield for trial. One
had 16 ducks in his possession when he
was placed under arrest. Al each duck
constitutes a separate offense, that man
will ave to quit all his expensive habits,
and keep his nose very close to the grind
stone, after he effects a settlement with
Uncle Sam. And the ext time that he is
told that the birds are Uncle Sans
proteges, he will take heed and stick right
close to his job, instead Of dropping ev-
erything to go out and kill ducks. It is
going to be an expensive experience for
some of the fellows who imagined that
they were SO smart that they need pay no
attention to the law.

TASTY DISHES !
FOR INvALIDs }

Breakfast Coffee.


Breakfast Coffee.
french cafe au lait is less likely to
cause indigestion than coffee taken
WIN cream. Clear coffee Is, Of course,
me most digestible, but this seems bit
Ter and unpleasant to many. To pre-
pare the cafe at lait properly the cof-
Zee must be very clear. The milk, UNI
SKINNED, should be heated in a double
ooller lust to the boiling point, but not
enough for a film to form on the top.
inen the hot milk and the clear, hot
coree should be poured together in the
coree cup until the right strength Ia
attained.
Rice Coffee.
II coffee produces nervousness rice
coffee may be substituted for 1t. To
make this, brown a cup of rice In the
oven, carefully, without burning 1t and
then grind 1T fine in a coffee mill. Put
IL In an earthenware jug and pour q
quart of cold water over 1T. Let 1t
stand an hour. Strain 1t, beat it and
serve 1t with hot milk or with cream.
Essa
coddled eggs are tempting. To pre-
pare them thrust the eggs, washed
clean. into boiling water, cover the dish
and let it stand for from Ave to 10
minutes. Then remove the eggs and
serve with pepper, salt and butter in
an egg cup. Poached eggs are always
tempting and SO are scrambled eggs.
Scrambled eggs car be surrounded with
crisp slices Of broiled bacon. The eggs
should never be greasy, but should be
scrambled in as little butter as pos
sible. They can be daintly Karnished
with parsley.
Custard.

tablespoon Of sugar. beat again and

Toast.

more than a quarter Of an inch thick

and for a considerable time thereafter
the fight was continued on fairly even
terms. After more than an hour Of hot
contest one piece of the Confederate ar
tillery came up from Moorefield and was
brought into action. A general advance
on the part of Rosser's men broke the
Federal line and put 1t to flight.

In the excitement attending the con-
clusion of the engagement the Federal
wagoners. in their efforts to escape, cut
their mules free from the wagons and
rode of on them. This precluded any
chance of saving any of the wagons, and
Col. Snider withdrew his men to an
elevation some distance in the rear. There
they made a determined stand for a
short while and finally retreated in good
order.
In this engagement the Federals lost
five killed. thirty-four wounded, and
about forty captured. the latter includ-
ing Mai. Nathan Goff. jr., of the Fourth
West Virginia Cavalry. whose horse was
shot down and pinned its rider to the
ground. Gen. Rosser lost twenty-four
men killed and wounded!
The train captured by the Confederates
was heavily loaded with commissary
stores-bacon, rice coffes, sugar, and the
like-much needed by the Confederates.
Forty-two of the ninety-three wagons
being without teams, the drivers having
ridden off on them, were burned. The

COLLARETTES FOR
AFTERNOON BLOUSES
Will Do More Toward Dressing Up
Simple Waist Than Any Other
Accessory

CoIlarettes will do more toward dress
ing I'D the afternoon blouse than will
any other type of neckwear. One quickly
made accessory of this order consists OF
a yard long strip OF the moderately
broad malines or chiffon ruffiing that
comes already plated. Having French
seam Joined the ends of this strip, draw
it over the head so as to bring the join
ing against the center Of the neck's
nape, and then spread the remainder
about the shoulders and over the fronts
OF the blouse as far toward the waist
line as IL will come. Next fit the strip
about the throat to form a Medici frill,
allowing whatever portion is not needed
to lay upon the shoulders, which must
be trimmed with a long and short
strip in heavy lace insertion. after
which the Medici and open neck frilling
and the portion that lies fatty over the
blouse is divided by a slender line OF
dark fur.
If you have a hand-embroidered muslin
coat collar of the long rever sort (Which
now Is useless for its original purpose)
you may transform II into a coilarette
by simply joining the two pointed ends
with a V-shaped waistcoat of plated
net that extends as far toward the bust
line as you wish to have it. The detail
that turns this little sham waistcoat into
a collarette is furnished by wide strip
of box-plaited malines crossing the back
of the neck from shoulder seam to
shoulder seam, and held down through
the center with a narrow band in satin
matching the covering on the vests
