Quest motioned them to sit little
nearer.

this morning, and from what he says

a little farther in before long It'll be
all the more difficult to escape them"
"You think we could get away"
Lenora whispered, eagerly.
Quest glanced cautiously around.

when the Mongars had withdrawn a
little to indulge in their customary

absolutely alone. Quest looked out of
the tent in which they had been sit

"Well?"
Laura lifted her skirt and showed
an unusual projection underneath.
"Lenora and / have pinned up our

KAISER WAS FORCED
 TO DECLARE WAR

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Henry Ford, the automobile manufacturer, just before he boarded the subula rlne KS at the Brooklyn Navy yard today said:
 When visited President Will son in Washington, Wednesday. he told me that he had hea d on good authority tha; after Kaiser Wilhelm signed the first declaration of war he suddenly flung the pen across the room and, looking up to the great military leaders assembled around hon, said:
 There. you've made me do it.. and you are going to regret it for the rest of your lives.'"
 Asked whether he thought Presi- dent Wilson believed the story. Mir. tcrd replied:
 ''I don't know. 1 do. 1: proves what have always thought. The kaiser is a humane man strictly de- voted to peace. but as ruler waa forced to do what he was told by the militarists."

cURRIED MEATS.

Curried meats and vegetables are delicious, but only a small propor- tion of American families make use of curry. A curry sauce can be served with left over chicken. cut into little strips. and heated in the curry, then put on platter with a ring or mold of hot rice. It can be served with left over mutton or lamb, cut in dice or thin slices. It can be served with several vege. tables.
 To make the sauce, slice a med,- unl sized onion thin and fry 1t in two ounces of butter When 1t Is brown add a dessertspoonfu of cu.- ry powder.

FRUIT FOR RHEUMATISM.

A professor of dietics says that the use of fruits Is the best medi cine for rheumatism; that the acids of fruits undergo changes i'll the body which aids the blood in elir,. mating the uric acid. With fruit diet and proper activity of the ex- cretory functions of the skin, bowels lungs and kidneys, it is safe to say that rheumatism could not exist.
 There is no doubt that fresh meats, eggs, milk. cream, butter and like secondhand" foods, are ire quent, if not the only cause of rheu- matism. These articles of common diet contain products of animal waste and poison and are in many cases known to produce diseases of varl- ous sorts
 In choosing a diet for rheumatic patient all foods of animal origin should be avoided. The best and safest foods are fruits, nuts, nut foods, grains and fresh vegetables. including vegetables which can b.. eaten raw, such as lettuce. chicory, tomatoes, radishes, cucumbers. onl- ons, etc. Such diet, with proper exercise, and cleanliness of body, is the best preventive, not only of rheumatism. but of many other equal ly painful and more often fatal dis orders.
 For children. especially, fruits i'll their season are an ideal diet, and should largely replace the meats. bread, pastry and candy now dealt out to them SO generously. If fresh fruit is not to be had, canned or dried will answer nearly as well.

STARS AT THE EDGE

The effect of the stars in the pure atmosphere at the edge of the desert of Sahara has been noted by more than one wondering traveller George E. Woodberry, describing drive Q Tougourt. says:
 The whole sky was powdered with stars; had never seen sucn a myriad glimmer and glow, thick ening. filling the heavenly spaces innumerable; and all at once they seemed to interlink, great and small with rays passing between them, and while they shone in their places light fell from them in long lines, like falling rain. down tho whole ooncave of night from the zenith to the horizon on every side. It was a Niagara of stars. The cc, lestial dome without a break was sheeted with the starry rain. pourins 5 down the hollow sphere of dark ness. from the apex to the desert rims. No words can describe that sight, as mere vision; still less can they tell it's mystical effect at the moment.
 And it was not momentary; for half an hour as we drove over the dark level. obscure. silent, lonely, was arched in and shadowed by that ceaseless. starry rain on all sides round; and as we passed the great twin lights of the gates, and entered Tougourt, and drew up in the dim and solitary square. it was still falling

YOUR SHOES AND GLOVES.

Good shoes. fresh gloves, b. coming hat, neat and fresh neck wear of good quality. these are eX' travagances which any woman who makes pretense Of being well dressed should indulge in.
 Good shoes does not simply mean expensive shoes once bought, II means shoes provided with an en- dowment fund, that they may be always kept up at the heel, always kept clean and black. The same is true about gloves. Nothing is poorer economy than to wear soiled white gloves, no matter how good their quality.
