thing widely, his heart, his mind, his
hate or his affection.
Come in, come in! Just in time
for the matinee concert"
The padre was not alone. Court
landt followed him in.
1--WE have been standing in the cor
ridor for ten minutes" affirmed the
padre, sending a winning smile around
the room. Mr.. Courtlandt was for
going down to the bureau and sending
up our cards. But | would not hear
of such formality | am a privileged
person"
Sure yes! Molly, ring for tea, and
tell 'em to make it hot. How about a
little peg. as the colonel says?'
The two men declined.
How easily and nonchalantly the
man stood there BY the door as Harri-
gan took his hat! Celeste was aquiver
with excitement, She was thoroughly
a woman; she wanted something to
happen, dramatically, romantically.
But her want was a vain one. Nora
hated scenes, and Courtlandt had the
advantage of her in his knowledge of
this. Celeste remained at the piano,
but Nora turned as If to move away.
NO, you must sing. That is what
came UP for" insisted the padre. If
there was any malice in the church
man, it was of negative quality But
it was in his Latin blood that drama
should appeal to him strongly, and
here was an unusual phase in The
Great Play He had urged Courtlandt,
much against the latters will this day,
to come up with him, simply that he
might set a little scene such as this
promised to be and study it from the
vantage of the prompter. He knew
that the principal theme Of all great
books, of all great dramas, was antag-
onism. antagonism between man ard
woman, though by thousand other
names has it been called. He had
often said, in a spirit Of raillery, that
this antagonism was principally due
to the fact that Eve had been con-
structed (and very welD out of a rib
from Adam Naturally she resented
this, that she had not been fashioned
independently, and would hold it
against man until the true secret OF
the parable was made clear to her.
Nora saw that opposition would
be useless. After all, it would be
better to sing. She would not be
compelled to look at this man she
so despised. At the beginning she had
intended to sing badly; but as the
music proceeded, shA sang as she had
not sung in weeks. To fill this mans
soul with a hunger for the sound of
her voice to pour into his heart
fresh knowledge Of what he had lost
forever and forever!
Celeste turned from the keys after
the final chords of Morning Mood"
aThank you" said Nora
do not STOP" begged Courtlandt
Nora looked directly into his eyes
as she replied: ones voice can not
go on forever. and mine is not at all
strong"

AM known as Mesereau the CHM
Der. The guide upon whom l
always relied when climbing In
the region about Interlaken was
Carl Weber, a German Swiss. He was
brave and faithful, and I became very
much attached to him.
After an adventure we had on the
sMatterhorn his affection for me was
greatly enhanced. We were alone on
the side Of that razor backed peak
when, walking on a snow edge. a crust
gave way beneath me. and ! fell.
Weber. knowing that the only way to
prevent his being dragged after me
was to throw himself on the opposite
aide, did so. There we hung. each
dangling over a precipice divided by
Z sharp edge of rock. Unfortunately
Weber's right arm had become caught

snapped.

GREEN PEAS FOR
WINTER DINNERS.

GREEN PEAS FOR
WINTER DINNERS.
Who doesn't lament the fact
that early June peas have lost
their summary favor when they
come tumbling out Of tin cans
on cold winter days? Fresh
green peas are plentiful and
cheap in summer, and those who
enjoy them then wish they might
last all the year around.
An English cook who likes to
experiment in preserving has
tried her luck at green peas.
She has found a way which she
considers very satisfactory. and
the directions are as follows:
The peas must be quite fully
grown, but not old. and they
must be gathered on a dry day.
After they are shelled put them
into perfectly dry wide mouth
ed bottles. It is very necessary
that both the peas and bottles
should be quite dry, as If not
the peas turn moldy. Shake them
into the bottles well to make
them lie as close as possible,
cork the bottles and tie moisten-
ed bladders over them tightly
to exclude the air. Set the bot
ties side by side in a large fish
kettle with hay at the bottom
and round the sides as well as
round each bottle. Pour cold
water into the boiler up to the
necks of the bottles and put
on the fire. and after the water
boils let It continue boiling for
two hours. Then take the pan
off the fire. but leave the bot
ties standing in it until perfectly
cold. then take them out and
wipe them dry. Pour melted
resin over the tops and put them
away to keep in a cool dry place.

evenly divided, and a difference of one or two votes at
the last moment would decide the issue. Finally every
member Of the state legislature who could possibly be
pledged was tied up in that way. On the day the vote
was to be cast the rude state capitol was filled with
miners, lumbermen and cowboys. and each had at least
one large, ominous gun stuck in a holster on him some
where.
"They all filed into the chamber where the vote was
