WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE
Schwab Should Have Spoken Into
Photograph, He Is Told, When
Discussing His Speech.

A banker who was told that Charles
NJ. Schwab, the president of the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one of the
most fOrceful speakers ever heard at
banquet table, said he believed it, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem steel, and had made
arrangements with Pliny Fisk of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
over to New York, and of course, was
entertained at q dinner. There he
made one of his most fOrceful utter
anceS. Mr.. Fisk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab:
"That will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write it out for me when you
return, so l shall have an accurate
statement"
Mr. Schwab wrote out his remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr.. Fisk.
Mr.. Fisk saw him soon afterward,
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what you said?"
81 did," responded the steel master,
81 wrote the exact words
WELL" answered Mr.. Fisk, much
disconnected, ''yOu should have spoken
them into a monograph"

with pepper and more salt if needed.
Corn and Tomatoes.-Cut the corn
from the cob and stew until nearly
dry, add third as much stewed to-
matoes as corn, and season, using a
teaspoOnful Of vinegar, teaspoOnful
each of butter and sugar, and salt and
pepper to taste, to one pint Of toma-
toes. Serve hot. This is favorite
combination with some cooks to put
up in cans for winter.
Economical Cake.-Sift together one
cupful of flour, two-thirds of q cupful
Of sugar, one teaspoonful of baking
powder and a little salt. In half
pint measuring cup put tablespoon
full Of melted butter, drop in one egg,
and fill the cup with milk. Stir into
the dry ingredients and beat rapidly
two or three minutes. Flavor as de-
sired. Bake in loaf.
When baking cake, fruit Juice may
be used in place of milk, which will
result in moist, finely favored cake.
Corn for the table, if cooked over
steam is much better favored than
that allowed to cook in water.
Add peanut butter when cooking
fried potatoes, using a tablespoonful
to the fat in the pan. 1t adds variety,
and where the flavor is liked makes an
appetizlng dish.
PURGE of Summer Squash.-Slice
three onions and cover with two
quarts of cold water; when boiling,
add a large summer squash cut in thin
Slices Let simmer slowly for two
hours, then rub through q sieve. Mix
one tablespoonful of ground rice or
corn starch with a cupful of milk or
tablespoonful of butter and season
lngs; cook until smooth and add to
the soup. Serve hot.

of sugar and the strained juice of two
lemons. Add half cupful of boiling
water to the oatmeal, mix the other in
gradients and pour into a gallon of
boiling water, stir well, put through a
sieve and chill before serving.
Apple Water.-Core, pare and cut
four apples in small pieces, then put
them into a pitcher, adding the lemon
rind from a small lemon, a quarter of
a cupful of sugar and four cupfuls of
water, boiling hot; cover the pitcher
and let it stand aside to cool.
A tablespoonful of ginger mixed with
three of sugar stirred into a pint of
iced water makes q fine drink.
Boston Cream.-Take three quarts
Of boiling water, one and a half pounds
of sugar, two teaspOOnfuls of lemon ex-
tract, two ounces of tartaric acid and
the whites of two eggs. Boil the wa
ter and allow it to get cold, then stir
in the other ingredients, beating the
whites until stiff. Mix we'll and pour
into bottles and keep in the ice chest.
When serving, put pinch of soda in
glass and half fill the tumbler with ice,
pour in enough of the cream to fill the
glass and drink Immediately.
Chocolate Strip. - Take three
squares of chocolate, one ounce of CO.
Goa, one and half pounds of sugar
and a pint of water, one and a half tea
spoonfuls of vanilla. Boil the cocoa in
a double boiler ten minutes with half
cupful of water; CRATE the chocolate
and mix it with one-third of its meas
ure in sugar; add this to the boiling
cocoa, stirring constantly, then add the
remainder of the sugar and boil for
ten minutes. Remove from the fire,
strain, cool and add the vanilla. This
will keep in the icechest until it is
used. A tablespoonful of the sirup
added to cold milk or iceWater topped
with marsbmallow or whipped cream
makes a most inviting drink.

the moment that I had killed him, and
knew, then, just how far had gone
on the road I've been travelling ever
since certain night in the middle of
last May. The proof was in the way
1 felt; 1 wasn't either sorry or horror
stricken; 1 was merely relieved to
think that he wouldn't trouble me, or
clutter up the world with his worth
less presence any longer"
"But that wasn't your real self"
she expostulated.
"What was 1t, then"
81 don't know-I only know that it
wasn't you. But tell me: did he die?"
"No."
"What have you done with him?"
"Do you know the old abandoned
WRESTLER mine at Little Butter"
81 knew it before it was abandoned,
yes"
ST was out there one Sunday after
noon with Starbuck. The mine is bulk
headed and locked, but one Of the keys
on my ring fitted the lock, and Star
buck and I went in and stumbled
around for a while in the dark tun-
nels. I took Jibbey there and locked
him up. He's there now"
"Alone in that horrible place-and
without food?"
"Alone, yes; but went out ysster-
day and put basket Of food where he
could get it."
"What are you going to do with
him"
II am going to leave him there until
after I have put Stanton and Kinzie
and the other buccaneers safely out Of
business. When that is done, he can
go; and I'll go, too"
She had risen, and at the summing
up she turned from him and went aside
TO the one window to stand for a long
minute gazing down into the electric
lighted street. When she came back
her lips were pressed together and she
was very pale.
"When I was in school, our old
psychology professor used to try to tell
us about the underman; the brute that
lies dormant inside of US and is kept
down only by reason and the super
man. I never believed it was anything
more than q fine-spun theory-until
now. But now l know it is true"
He spread his hands.
II can't help it, can II"
1.-THE man that you are now can't
help it; no. But the man that you
could be-if he would only come
back" she stopped with little un-
controllable shudder and sat down
again, covering her face with her
hands.
"Tm going to turn Jibbey loose
after I'm through" he vouchsafed.
She took her hands away and blazed
up at him suddenly, with her face
aflame.
Eyes! after you are safe; after there
is no longer any risk in it for you !!
That is worse than If you had killed
him-wopse for you, mean. Oh, can't
you see? It's the very depth Of coward
ly infamyw
He smiled sourly. "You think I'm
a coward? They've been calling me
everything else but that in the past
few days"
"You are a coward" she flashed
back. s"You have proved it. You
daren't go out to Little Butte tonight
and get that man and bring him to
Brewster while there is yet time for
him to do whatever it is that you are
afraid he will dol"
Was it the quintessence Of feminine
subtlety, or only honest rage and in
dignation, that told her how to aim
the armOr-piercing arrow? God, who
alone knows the secret workings of
the woman heart and brain, can tell.
But the arrow sped true and found its
mark. Smith got up stiffly out of the
big swing chair and stood glooming
down at her.
