Ginger Bread

Seeing your repeated requests for tried and true recipes from the kitchen of pri- vate houses. l am pleasing myself by con- tributing my quota. A favorite of our family is ginger bread To make it, take a pint of meal. one pint of sour milk, two eggs one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of ginger half teaspoon of spice, quarter teaspoon of cloves, two tablespoons of lard, one teaspoon of soda. two teaspoons of baking powder, half cup each of sugar and molasses. Bake slowly in a pone' for half an hour. Can you tell me how to preserve in oil the large sweet red pep pers which may be used as pimentos? I've been told by many that it can be done. and yet no one seems to know how to do it DE L..
 More than 50 years ago l ate ginger pone" in southern home and enjoyed it immensely. 1 have never heard of it since. I thank you for reviving the mem- ory. You the southern water ground white cornmeal, of course? am chagrined that I cannot comply with your first request I have never eaten sweet peppers put up in oil. Will one of your accomplished housemothers save the day for the Corner by sending in the recipe for preparing them?

The Ring.

The Ring.
Theirs was the last vehicle to swing
between the gates before these last
were closed.
AND this was quite as we'll; for Alan,
rising for n last backward glance
through the rear window, started in
voluntarily and choked upon an ex-
clamation when he deserted a power
full touring car tearing madly toward
the ferry-house, it's one passenger half
rising from the front seat, beside the
driver, and exhibiting a ~countenance
purple with congested chagrin as be
saw his car barred out of the carriage
entrance.
Quickly sensitive to his emotion, the
girl caught nervously at Alan's hand.
What Is 1t, dear?"
"Marrophat," he snapped.
She uttered a hushed cry of dismay.
Don't be alarmed, however" he
fastened to comfort her. Hes lost
the race: the gates are shut-even the
passenger gates-and there must be
a company spotter somewhere near by,
for the gateman Is virtuously refusing
to be bribed by a roll of money as
thick as my wrist"
At that instant the taxicab rolled
aboard the ferry-boat; the deck gates
were closed; a hoarse whistle rent the
roaring silence Of the city; winches
ratified and chains clanked; and the
boat wore ponderously out of it's slip.
$50 much for Mr.. Marrophat!" Alan
crowed. sitting down. Fooled again!
He can't stop us now!"
perhaps :"
why that perhaps? Why that
toner" he demanded sharply, struck
by the foreboding her accents con.
fessed.
"This isn't the only ferry. There's
the Pennsylvania and the Lackawanna
and by hard driving he might even
manage to catch the boat that con-
meets with this from the Christopher
street ferry Of the Erie!"
Impossible! don't believe it! 1
WON'T"
"Let's not" she agreed. "But, Alan

CHAPTER XVI.
Make-B Believe.

Make-Believe.
For upwards Of three-quarters of an
hour of that golden morning which fol-
York, Mr.. Law was permitted to es-
TEEN himself ne nappiest of mortals.
And inasmuch as this is not only a
longer uninterrupted term of happi-
ness than is humanity common but Is
more Of that emotion than ordinarily
leavens the whole Of a lifetime, Alan
was perhaps to be envied, even though
establishment when it came was sud-
den, sharp, and to him unspeakably
s~hocking-a swift, unpresaged plunge
from sunlit peaks of supreme content
to the black depths of a bleak Aver
nus of despair.
The beginning Of the period was
synchronous with the slam Of a taxi
cab door that shut away a superfuous
world from the company of two who
loved.
The sound spelled safety as well as
success in Alan's understanding.
The car slipped smoothly away from
the curb, pursued only by a little gust
OF semi-ironic cheers from the little
company of working men who had wit
messed as well as m~easurably partici-
pated in the putative elopement from
the house Of Urine.
Vigilant for any indication that their
evasion had had a witness in that
strange home Of deathless hatred,
Alan watched it through the little
window in the back of the cab until a
corner blotted out the vision of it;
then with a sigh Of relief sank down
by the side of the to whom his
every thought, impulse and emotion
were dedicated.
"Rose!" he whispered, and tenta-
lay clenched in her lap.
She responded with never a sign to
indicate consciousness either Of his
touch or his whisper.
And reminding himself of the strain
imposed upon her by the experience
through which they had just passed,
Alan excused her unresponsiveness on
grounds of reaction, and for the time
felt constrained to let his sweetheart
rest and regain her normal poise:
there was bliss enough for him in the
consciousness that he had won her
safely away, that nothing now more
than a short hours drive across town
and by ferry across the Hudson stood
between them and the marriage that
should prove the contamination Of all
their trials Barring accident!
Alan had too often suffered the pen
atty Of disappointment for o%verindul-
gence in this failing Of his for depreci-
ating the unforeseen, not to make the
mental reservation, Barring acct
dents!" with a little SILVER of dread.
Had any Of Trine's household been
cognizant Of his daughters escape.
Alan argued, interference. must have
been instant.
Despite the reassuring aspect, the
~preoccupation Of his companion so
wore upon him that he was presently
no longer able to refrain from disturb
ing her.
"Rose!" he begged again, closing a
hand tenderly over hers. Dearest
girl, don't worry another Instant! Do
calm yourself: remember we are safe
