CHAPTER <.
ANONYMOUS Letters.


Deborah re-entered the Judge mouse
a stricken woman. She reached her
room door and was about to enter,
when at sudden thought she paused
and let her eyes wander down the hall
till they settled on another door, the
one she had closed behind her the
night before, with the deep resolve
never to open it again except under
conpulsion A few minutes later she
was standing in one of the dim corners
or divers musty room, reopening a
book which she had taken down from
the shelves on her former visit. She
remembered it from its torn back and
the fact that it was an algebra. Turn
ing to the fly leaf, she looked again at
the names and schoolboy phrases she
had seen scrubbed all over its surface
for the one which she remembered as,
Il hate algebra"
1t had not been very clearly writ.
ten algebra" and she would never
have given this Interpretation to the
scrawl, had she been in a better mood.
Now another thought had come to her.
and she wanted to see the word again.
Was she glad or sorry to have yielded
to this impulse, when by a closer in
spection she perceived that the word
was not algebra" at all, but "Algernon,
hate A Etheridge.-I hate A. Ell
hate Algernon E." all over the page.
and here and there, on other pages!
sometimes in characters so rubbed and
faint as to be almost unreliable and
again so pressed into the paper by a
vicious pencil point as to have broken
their way through to the leaf under
meath.
The work of an ill-conditioned
schoolboy! but-this hate dated back
many years. Paler than ever, and
with hands trembling almost to the
point of incapacity, she put the book
back and flew to her own room, the
prey Of thoughts bitter almost to mad
ness.
1t was the second time in her life
that she had been called upon to go
through this precise torture. Then,
only her own happiness and honor
were involved; now it was Reuther's;
and the fortitude which sustained her
through the ignominy of her own trou-
BILE failed her at the prospect Of Reu-
| Tiers And again, the two cases were
not equal Her husband had had traits
which, in a manner, had prepared her
for the ready suspicion of people. But
Oliver was man of reputation and
kindly heart; and yet, in the course OF
| time this had come, and the question
once agitating her as to whether
Reuther was fit mate for him and
now evolved itself into this: Was he 9

vENls0N STEAKS AND HASH
Recipes That Will Be Appreciated
by Those Fond of Highly
Seasoned Meats.

To hash cold venison, cut the meat
in nice, small slices and put the trim
mings and bones into a saucepan with
barley water enough to cover them.
Let them stew for an hour, then strain
the liquid into stew pan, add to 1t
some bits of butter, rolled in -four.
and whatever gravy was left of the
venison the day before. Stir in some
currant jelly and let it boil up, then
put in the meat and keep 1t over the
fire just long enough to warm through,
but do not allow it to boil. as it has
been once cooked already.
Venison Steaks.-Cut them from
the neck or haunch Season them
with pepper and salt. When the grid
iron has been well heated over a bed
of bright Goals, grease the bars and
lay the steaks upon it. Broil them
well, turn them once and take care
to save as much Of the gravy as pos
sible. Serve them with some currant
jelly laid on each steak. Have your
plates warm.

Bread.

Much good bread is wasted on &C.
count of drying and hardening on the
outside. This needless waste could
be easily prevented by wrapping the
unusued portion of the loaf in a clean
piece of muslin or towel wrung out
Of cold water before putting 1t away
after each meal; or it might be re-
wrapped in the waxed paper that
comes with some kinds Of bread.
The so-called stale bread, so much
of which is wasted, is really better
for ones digestion and health than
the freshly baked, Notwithstanding
article, for it is more friable and alb
sorbent and it really absorbs the sa-
Iva and gastric juice which penetrate
it and act upon every particle of IT..
The fresh bread is so moist that like
a wet sponge it can take up no more
moisture, and it is acted upon by the
digestive juices on the surface only.

on top of each tomato circular slice
of cucumber. You can use potato
balls, small onions, peas and carrots
diced as garnish.

that morning, and you know Jonn
passes there each morning about eignt
o'clock, when the store opens, so
asked him if he wouldn't stop and get
me pan, and he said he would.
ct should think you would be afraid

them were quite badly damaged. you
know" said Mrs White.
"Oh, John is careful" Mrs. Brown
assured her. "He always gets the best
of everything. The one he got me is
absolutely perfect as far as can see.
''Well, isn't that wonderful! l dldn

didn't your husband object to carry

they never deliver anything sold al

Mrs. Brown, triumphantly. Il thought
