In Donald McKenzie's log cabin
there was light long after the usual
hour 1t came partly from the wide
hearth and partly from the wick that
foated in a saucer of fish oil and
burned with frequent spHtterings,
The rough benches arranged around
the wall were empty. for the occu-
pants of the cottage were on their
knees, their eyes directed towards the
bed where lay the gaunt figure OF

sunken eyes and shallow irregular
breathing showed that the soul was

Donald-who was his right hand Al
these years, who opened up the little
chapel in the early summer mornings,

snow in the winter, who laid the worn
vestments in order for him and served
at Mass, when he could spend q few
days in the settlement--noW sat be-
side the bed and wiped away the
death damp that gathered like dew
on the broad deep-seamed forehead,
wetting the straggly grey hair, or
closed the stiffening fingers over the
blessed candle with his hard but
kindly hand.
All hope was gone, and even the
most inexperienced knew that the
priest was dying. But the passing
was long. They had said the whole
fifteen mysteries and the prayers for
the dying twice, and the prayer for
final perseverance and the Psalter Of
the Holy Name; and he still breathed
painfully,

ALL NEED CHANGE OF DIET
Winter Foods Should Not Be coatln.
ued During the Hot Days of
the Summer.

Change of diet is just as essential to
good health, once the warm weather
arrives, as change of clothes. No
one would think of dressing In heavy
woolens, furs and velvets with the
thermometer soaring. Why, then, feed
the system during the hot days with
the same sort of heavy food which
makes up the winter menu?
Too few housewives realize that the
body Graves change of diet once the
warm weather sets in. They go on
serving in May hot soups, steaming
meats, heavy desserts, just as though
1t were the middle of winter and then
wonder why their families do not seem
to relish their food.
Begin in May to serve summer
meals, for warm weather Is then here
and change of diet is necessary to
good health. Make the first change
in the appearance of the table. If
you have been in the habit of using
cloths use doilies during the sum-
mer season, as they give the appear
ance Of Coolness and summer comfort.
They are, too, great saving of labor
during the warm weather season. It
is no idle task to wash out q big table,
cloth once a berry stain mars its
pristine beauty, but If a dolly be-
comes soiled how easy 1t is to take
this single piece and dip 1t into the
tub. During the berry and fruit sea-
son, when so many spots are apt to
appear no matter how careful the din
ers, this labor-saving scheme should
be given consideration.
Some housewives go so far as to
substitute the paper doilies for the
linen ones, throwing them away as
they become soiled. These come in so
many pretty designs and are so mex
penslve that this form of table adorn-
ment is both pretty and economical.

the outside by double door with full
length panels.
The kitchen occupies the center of
the rear portion of the first floor, with
rear entrance from the porch. Con-
veniently near the swlnging-door en-
trance to the dining room is the cup
board, sink and range. This arrange
ment could hardly be improved to
produce greater facilities for serving,
a feature which should strongly COM
mend itself to housewives. A very
generous closet is also provided for
the storage Of kitchen utensils and
other articles needed In this part Of
the house.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture of the entire design is the sun
parlor leading from the kitchen and
front parlor. This room, with its
seven windows, will no doubt be the
most used room in the house in all
kinds Of weather. By replacing the
sash with screens during the summer
months room is provided which will
furnish all the advantages of being out
of doors, without the annoyance of in
sects. Since there is an entrance to
the kitchen, this room provides q very
pleasant breakfast porch, a feature
which viii be appreciated by all who
have had the opportunity to take their
morning meal In the open air.
The second floor contains three large
bedrooms, a sewing room and bath
room. The hall makes all of these
rooms independent of one another, and
the cased opening of of ii into the
sewing room speciaIizes this little room
as the most attractive on this floor. A
feature of special convenience is the
large closet space allowed to each of
the bedrooms.

self.
So Judge Cambo sat at his window,
in the soft Mediterranean night, and as
he looked into the street beneath him
he saw one man stab another. The
wounded man, who had been flying for
his life, reeled and fell. At this mo-
ment the murderer's cap fell OF, and
his face was fully exposed to the
Judge. The Judge and the assassin
stared at each other for moment,
and then the latter replaced his cap,
threw away the sheath of his knife
and ran. Tho learned jurist sat at his
window, gazing calmly at the dead
man. An ordinary man might have
raised an alarm, but the Judge did
nothing. It is possible that he was rak-
ing through his mind for law that

The night wore on and morning was
approaching. and the Judge remained
at his window. Then a baker came
into the street. carrying his loayes for
distribution. Presently the baker be-

sheath of the knife, picked II up and

but Just at that moment policemen

body, he happened to see the judge at

straight at him.
The grand master Of the knights

acted conscientiously, and few have
expressed their belief that he acted
properly. Such is the reverence for
law.
The baker came up for trial,
wretched and terrified man. The po-
lice had a strong case against him. He
was arrested just as he was leaving
the corpse, and he had the sheath Of
dagger or stiletto in his pocket. But
as the case wore on it became ap-
parent that the evidence wasn't con-
elusive enough, and there was prob
ability that the accused would be &C
quilted.
Then this marvellous Judge Cambo
used every endeavor to make the
baker confess the crime. He threat
ened and entreated, but the accused
persisted in declaring his innocence.
So Judge Cambo ordered him to the
torture and he was stretched upon the
rack. For time he stuck to his claim
Of innocence, but when the agony be-
came intolerable he confessed to the
crime which he had never committed.
and Judge Cambo looked on, calm and
inscrutable, and wrote down the
racked mans confession as it came
from his blood-fecked lips. Surely
there never was more Jealous public
official than Judge Cambo!
The Judge was now quite satisfied.
The prisoner had been proved guilty
according to the law, and there was
nothing further to do except to SEN
tence the man to death, which the
Judge did with much feeling, rebuking
him mildly for trying to obstruct the
course of justice by refusing to con-
fess. So the unfortunate baker was
taken forth from the jail upon low
ering day and done to death by the ex-
ecutioner.
He was buried down by the sea, near
where st. Paul was shipwrecked once
upon time, and the grass grew over
him, and his memory became dim In
the haunts of men. The years passed
on, and Judge Cambo often sat by his
window and gazed at the sleeping
town, and IL ghosts troubled him he
gave no sign. The whole island adj
mired and reverenced him as a saint
like man, who respected the law above
/ all things except religion. The Judge
was growing old among his honors
and dignities when an untoward thing
happened.
In another part of the island man
was tried and convicted of capital
crime, and when he saw that doom was
written against his name he made
full confession Of various evil things
he had done in his sinful career
Among other things, he confessed that
he was the murderer of the man for
whose death the baker was tortured
and executed. He narrated all the cir
cumstances of the murder, down to
the smallest detail, and cited the judge
as a witness. He knew that the judge
had seen the murder, for, as he was

THE IRON JUDGE OF MALTA.

One night, 200 years ago, Judge
Cambo OF Malta sat by his bedroom
window gazing out upon the sleeping
town, which was bathed in brilliant
moonlight. Had Judge Cambo not been
sitting by his window that night, his
name would never have been known
outside the island of Malta, which Is
about eight miles wide and seventeen
long; but he couldn't sleep well that
night, for one reason or another, so he
took his seat by the window, and
eventually became known all over the
world, or wherever lawyers congre-
gate. Thus we see upon what q small
peg destiny sometimes hangs.
There is no doubt that Judge Cambo
was man Of integrity and ability.
Some even hold that he had a con-
science. In his youth he was consid-
cred sentimental and went so far, upon
occasion, as to write poetry. But he
took up the study of the law quite
early, and the law became an infatua-
ton with him. AS the years went on
he became saturated with it, so that it
took full possession of his soul and
mind. He judged everything in the
earth and the waters under the earth
by his Maltese law, which was some
what different from that now prevail
ing, as the island then was under the
dominion of the Knights of St John.
In the mind of Judge Cambo, though he
perhaps wouldn't have confessed 1t,
justice was a small thing as compared
with the law. II justice and the law
could be made to walk comfortably
along the same road, well and good;

The typical construction for houses
In our smaller cities throughout the
country has been, for some time, a
two-storied structure with sleeping
rooms on the upper floor. This prac-
tice is not without its advantages,
since great many people object very
seriously to the inherent lack Of
privacy which is associated with homes
Of only one floor. There Is also feel.
ing Of safety from intrusion when a
means is provided whereby the valu-
ables Of the household may be placed
somewhere other than on the ground
floor. 1t is usually possible to obtain
a better arrangement of the bedrooms
and bath by including these rooms in a
group which will occupy an entire
floor, and this allows the use of the
entire floor for the living rooms, dining
room and kitchen. This feature is of
special Importance during the winter
