And, then Tom all at once remem-
bered where he had previously heard
this familiar voice. Last Monday
night, when he stood blindfolded In
the mysterious Long Island house, he
had met the man Calls insolent
catechism with a profane retort, and
the bearer of Brownlow's note had eau
toned him that there were ladies
present.
The contents of the sheet, which
Tom had open in jiffy. were brief and
were taken in by him at glance. His
immediate stupefaction at their pur-
port he voiced in tones OF awe.
"Well-Ill-be-" he began, but
quickly checked himself and looked up
to find the piercing eyes steadily re-
garding him.
"And So" he concluded, you are

that this aspect Of the matter was not
altogether acceptable, 'I-believe me

relief. THAT explains matters. l am

Toms reply, he affirmed with much
earnestness:
"The truth is, Captain Phinney, If

SCIENCE OF HOTEL KEEPING
Swiss Youth May Be Said to Have
Revolutlonlzed Methods Of the
European HosteIries.

Like many another mighty enter
prise the Ritz-Carlton hotels had a
modest beginning. and the whole idea
had it's origination in the brain of a
Swiss farmer boy, Cesar Ritz, whose
father titled small holding. The son,
however. had larger ideas. Taking up
hotel work at the beginning In very
minor capacity, he developed a most
wonderful sense of color, form and
taste In every respect. and he brought
the art of hotel keeping in Europe to
higher pitch than 1t had ever been be-
fore. Indeed he revolutionized hotel
keeping in England and France, and
that revolution has gradually shown
it's influence all over the world. Ritz's
first enterprise was the Ritz hotel in
Paris. which he started about 1897.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1914-04-10

The second venture was the Carlton
hotel Of London, and the next was
the Ritz of London. In each of the
many Ritz hotels already built, build
ing. or planned for there Is a separ-
ate local company which has furnish.
ed the bulk or the whole of the money,
while the central organization, the
Carlton Investing company, in all
cases holds the common stock and a
controlling interest. In this way all
the local companies are made to work
unitedly and in the interest Of all.

her cheeks dimpled, and she replied
with delightful low-voiced demure-
ness:
II get YOU"
Tom INDUCED In tremendous sigh
of relief. For the first time hope
mounted high in his bosom that, after
all, their relations we're going to start
upon friendly footing.
But before he had time to ask a
question that rose to his lips. an inter
ruption came. Turning at the sound of
q footstep, he was In measure pre-
pared to confront the supposititious
old servant OF Number 1913. The
mans face, shot and crisscrossed with
q network of fine wrinkles. was beard
less and as lifeless as death-mask.
But not go the PIERCING black eyes;
here at once the younger man recog-
nized an extraordinary personality
one that affected him powerfully, even
to forgetting his resentment at the
intrusion.
The man handed him an envelope
with an uttered word or two Of expla-'
nation: From Mr.. Brownlow. ! am
the eharterer."

THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING.

When cooking vegetables, nice
change from the regular methods is
to bake them. Baked turnips are
really quite an appetizing dish when
large and of good juicy variety. When
serving, peel back the outer skin from
the top and serve as baked potato.
Baked beets are a change from the
usual way Of boiling them. Wash
and prepare them as for boiling, then
put into a hot oven and bake until
tender. They are so much sweeter
and better favored and may be served
then chopped with butter and lemon
Juice for seasoning, or sliced for
pickles.
Celery boiled in milk makes a pleas
ing variety for the table. Season well
with butter, salt and bit of red pep
per or paprika, and add white sauce
or not, just as one desires.
Onions are delicious baked, either
stuffed with sausage or bread crumbs
and nuts. Basic, while baking, with
butter and water or any good favored
soup stock.
Nasturtium seeds make very nice
relish to serve with meats. When
the seed pods are young, pick them
and put to soak in a strong brine for
"a hours; drain well and cover with
a good vinegar Add little red pep
per or any condiments and spices to
taste. A little mace and ginger root
Is we'll liked. This makes an excel
lent relish for boiled mutton or lamb.
When eggs are high or scarce. frost
the cakes with fondant. 1t may be
kept for an indefinite period and used
at any time by warming over hot wa
ter. To make the fondant, boil to-
gether two cups of sugar, a half cup
of water and tablespoonful Of glu-

EARLY SPRING SALADS.

Before It Is warm enough to do any
work outside in the garden, a small
shallow box we'll protected by an old
window and we'll filled with good mel
low soil may be sown with pepper
grass, lettuce seed and radishes. and
long before the garden produce is
ready you will have tender green
things for the table.
This tender pepper grass will soon
reach four inches In height, and it
may be used as a salad or on bread
and butter for sandwich filling. The
slight pepper taste Is most appetizing,
and when combined with lettuce
makes delicious salad.
Utilize the flower urns and other
places which cannot be planted out
80 early on account OF frosts, but may
be protected by glass, and raise any
number of early things which are so
good on the table in the spring.
In the early spring, when the first
dandelion shows its green leaf, lay
a few boards over a bed of the thick
est of them, and see what delicious
provide for your table for weeks.
Dandelion is especially good for the
blood, and so should be served often
IN the spring. The larger leaves, be-
fore the blossom comes. may be cut
and cooked like spinach or with lit
tie salt pork, then serve with vine
gar for a sauce.
Mint Is another early arrival, and
is most delightful for a sauce with
spring lamb. Cut bunch and bruise
the leaves, pour on little boiling hot
vinegar and let it steep for a while,
then add a teaspoon or more of pow
dered sugar, and serve with the lamb
Mint is also much relished as mix
ture with other vegetables for salad
Take a bunch of mint and twice the
quantity of lettuce, a few sprays OF
pepper grass and few onions sliced.
Cut all the green's as fine as possible
without crushing, and pour over a
French dressing, using three table,
spoonfuls of oil and one Of vinegar,
a half teaspoon Of salt and few
dashes of red pepper and half tea
spoon Of powdered sugar. Mix well
and pour over the salad.
Water cress is another most whole
some spring salad, and when one is
fortunate enough to get this snappy
little salad green 1t may be served
in any number Of ways, with or with
out other greens in combination.

SUGGESTIONS AND HELPFUL
HINTS.

When using early potatoes, they
may be quickly prepared by using a
rough piece of sacking to rub off the
peel and with much less labor and
time than scraping.
A fine milk bottle opener Is large
horse shoe nail, placed in convenient
place. 1t is also a good nutpick, and
has the advantage Of being cheap and
easy to get.
When putting up lunch in which
sauce is used, crumb a few crackers
in the cupful Of sauce. They will soak
up the surplus juice and take the
place of pastry.
When baking cookies or drop cakes,
a whole recipe may be baked In the
oven at one time II pair Of baking
sheets are a part Of the kitchen uten-
sils. They are sheet iron made to
fit the oven, and an edge to handle
them by may be turned up and rein
forced by wire.
When there is kindling to carry,
fine help is a piece of strong carpet or
tent cloth, As by 81 inches, bound, and
with strong leather handles.
Water drained from cooked rice
makes a fine starch for laces or fine
fabrics.
A granite spoon or granite dish
may be a great source OF danger.
Never use a granite spoon for any
thing except stirring up chicken feed.
The hens thrive on broken bits or
glass hut our stomachs do not need
such aids to digestion.
When using a granite dish. care
should be taken never to strike the
edge with spoon to dislodge the con-
tents while stirring. A wooden spoon
Is the ideal one for all kinds Of cook
ing, as they are less apt to injure the
surface of any enameled dish. and
are easy in the hand when doing much
stirring.
The Clio messenger. (Clio, Mich.) 1907-current, 1914-04-10

sponded he in his impulsive fashion
"But-say-Mr. Willard-hang it all!
That poor chap who was killed: that
sort of thing, you know, sticks in a
fellows crop"
The jet eyes were as steady as
jewels upon the masks of craven
idol.
Again / shall have to ask you to
take me on faith for the time being"
responded Willard, unmoved. Tll
give you my word-should you ask me
one week from tonight, l shall tell
you exactly how that regrettable af
fair happened. You will hold me
blameless."
did you do it?"
Il did not"
That's enough as far as you and
are concerned. Now then, on my
part, l haven't the least desire to
NEEDLE in your affairs. I know my
place and my duties, and l have
enough to keep me pretty busy with
out bothering about anything else. But
il can't help seeing that things are
not strictly straight-wrong, you
know-it will be part OF my duties
to interfere. Satisfactory"
Perfectly so. It's good that we
had this talk. Good morning."
Tom had only begun stocking his
pipe when the Kohinur's charterer re-
appeared in the doorway. Said he:
"By the way, forgot to say that
do not want anybody to come aboard
without my express permission-nor
to go ashore. have to go down into the
city myself. VIII you give the neces-
sary orders for the launch to take me
to the landing?"
