Aluminium Ware.

The attractive appearance, light
weight and the durability of good
quality of aluminium have brought this
ware into public favor. 1t is claimed.
too, that food does not burn as easily
in an aluminium utensil as in those of
other ware. Aluminium, however,
stains easily, thus it's first good
appearance = somewhat hard to keep
up. Even Water containing an alkali
or iron will tarnish it. This comes
off with whiting or any cleansing
powder that is free from alkali. Strong
lye cleansers must not be used upon
it, and when it is necessary to scrape
1t the scra ping should be done with
a wooden spoon. A mild acid win also
remove stains from it, such as tart
apples or sour milk boiled in the dish.
Aluminum's one great fault Is that it
will not stand excessive heat, especial
ly the poorer grades.

CHAPTER III.
The KOhinur's charterer.


Is 1t to be wandered at that for the
rest OF the night Tom remained in a
state OF such feverish excitement that
he forgot to sleep? Here, in the most
amazing manner imaginable, he and
the Girl once more we're thrown to-
gether-and, too, under circumstances
that not only promised the most de-
lightful sort of intimacy, but were not
likely soon to be terminated. An I'm
wonted light shone In his eyes. and his
tanned jaw settled into lines OF deter
mination that were not without a de-
gree of grimness.
What's the use!" he morosely
growled. She'll have nothing TO do
with me. | made seventeen different
kinds OF fool OF myself Monday night
when she got me out OF that dark
room. Unless she realizes
that a scrape like that is enough to
turn any fellows head"
And this led him to Illuminating on
the strangeness of his adventure. and
to consideration of the rest Of the
party, which he INDUCED briefly only
because he remembered how inexplic-
ably their doings had become identi-
fed with Miss Carew's disappearance
for undoubtedly they were the same
people who had inhabited Number 1913
ard how greatly Rudy was inter
ested in their movements. This refec-
ton sobered him completely.
Should he not at once notify Mr..
Flint? Did the allegiance he had only
today assumed outweigh the obliga.
lions of lifelong friendship?
Here was problem that was a lit
tie too much for Tom TO decide Off
hand, and he began to be conscious of
vague, growing sense OF doubt and
misgiving. He began to perceive the
possibility of future complications that
would keep him fioundering helplessly
in all sorts of predicaments; either In.
reference or non-interference by him
might be the occasion for any amount
OF future regret and lasting remorse
and mental suffering. but he had ar
rived at the decision before turning
in. that, considering everything. he
should be filled with a sense OF graft.

were to be obeyed with prompt thor
oughness.
So, at four bells of the morning
watch-or six o'clock by land time
when he and the Girl came unexpect-
eddy face to face. outwardly Tom was
perfectly composed, though his heart
straightway commenced a mad pound

that a sudden unaccountable difficulty

life.
Some women are mothers and
mothers only from the time they hug
their first dolls, Margie," she said to

only to be wives.
my mother, Margie, was of the
latter class. You know had three
sisters and while our mother loved us
in a way, it was to our father the real
devotion Of her life was given. She
never for one moment thought that
any sacrifice of herself, or of US, was
of any account if it made him hap
