ITO NY Own sweetheart"
When James Brood and Frederic
left the dining-room nearly an hour
prior to the departure of Mrs. Des-
mond. there was IN the mind of each
the resolution to make short work Of
the coming interview. Each knew that
the time had arrived for the parting
of the ways. and neither had the least
desire to prolong the suspense.
The study door was closed. James
Brood put his hand on the knob. but,
before turning it. faced the young man
with an odd mixture Of anger and pity

had touched the open sore with that
unhappy question. Not until this in
slant had James Brood admitted to
himself that there was a sore and that
it had been fostering all these weeks.
Now it was laid bare and smarted with
pain. Nothing could save Frederic
after that reckless. deliberate thrust
at the very core of the malignant
growth that lay so near the surface.

to spare the boy.

tant to water-uses in the Black Hills.
It sustains the water right under old
customs, to locate and appropriate
water for the purpose of disposing Of
it for a consideration to others not in
terested in the location itself, overrid
ing the law of 1881, which provides
that water can be located only by a

history Of the state that a decision
has beer rendered sustaining the ole

HOT WEATHER MEALS
COMBINATIONS THAT GO WELL IN
THE SUMNER.
Hot Savory and a Cold Salad Are Al
ways to Be Reconnaissance
Suggestions That Are Worth
Remembering.

A hot savory and a cold salad make
a good combination for the summer
luncheon, and the savory is a useful
dish for the DISPOSITION Of leftover
scraps Of meat, fish, etc.
The foundation of a savory is usually
a triangle on a finger of buttered brown
bread toast, or fried bread, pastry or
biscuit. The filing may be varied in
definitely, and its arrangement de-
ponds upon available materials.
Here are a few suggestions for the
use Of materials common to all house
holds:
Tomato Toast.-Half an ounce OF
butter, two ounces OF grated cheese,
one tablespoonful of tomato, paprlka.
Melt the BUTTE and add the tomato
teither canned or fresh stewed). then
the grated cheese; sprinkle with papri-
ka and heat on the stove. Cut bread
into rounds or small squares, fry an
pour over each slice the hot tomato
mixture.
Ham Toast.-Mince a little leftover
boiled ham very finely. Warm it IN q
pan with a piece Of butter. Add a lit
the pepper and paprika. When very
hot pile on hot buttered toast. Any
leftover scraps of fish or meat may be
used up in a similar way, and make
an excellent sayory to serve with a
green salad.
Sardine Savories.-Sardines, one
hard-boiled egg, brown bread, pars-
ley. Cut the brown bread into strips
and butter them. Remove the skin
and the bones from the sardines and
lay one fish on each finger OF the
bread. Chop the white OF the egg
into fine pieces and rub the yolk
through a strainer. Chop the parsley
very fine and decorate each sardlne
with layers of the white, the yolk
and the chopped parsley. Season with
pepper and salt.
Oyster Savories.-These make Q
more substantial dish, and are deli
cious when served with a celery salad:
Six oysters, six slices of bacon, fried
bread, seasoning. Cut very thin strips
of bacon: the bacon that can be pur'
chased already shaved is best Tor the
purpose. Season the oysters with pep
Der and salt, and wrap each in a
slice Of the bacon, pinning it together
with a wooden splint ca toothplck)
Place each oyster on a round OF toast
or Of fried bread, and cook in The
oven for about five minutes. Serve
very hot, and sprinkle with pepper
Cheese savories.-Butter slices Q
bread and sprinkle over them a mix
ture Of grated cheese and paprlka. se'
them in a pan and place the pan II
the oven, leaving it there until the
bread is colored ana the cheese set
Serve very hot.
