KING ALBERT MERCIFUL

The Hague, Netherlands, Jan. 10
King Albert, as chief
of the Belgian army has recently ex-
ercised clemency towards $50 mill
tary prisoners incarcerated at Fresnes.
After. the experiences of his army at
Liege, Namur and Antwerp, the king
was obliged to introduce an iron dis
cipline in order to maintain a high
morale among the troops. The slight
est offence was punished with the
greatest severity. Men who in or
binary circumstances would have re-
ceived light penalty, during the days
of the battle of the User were con-
demned to five or six years penal SER
vitude. \ To-day with the army again
strongly organized and permeated with
high spirit, clemency can be exer-
cised without. danger, and groups Of
the condemned are set at liberty from
time to time. The latest batch of re-
leased men exchanged their prison
ear5 for a new uniform at LIE Mans.
They received their new equipment
with cry of Long Live the King!"
and subsequently were sent direct to
the front. -,

ness as the conductor deposited me and
my bags down in front of the post
beautiful lady in all America, 1 am
sure.
"Thank you for much graciousness,
madam" I said, keeping those gray
tweed knees straight out in front Of
me and very still to prevent trembling.
! mot at all, sir. l bought only the
lower half Of this section. 1 am not
at all nervous And I could see her
mouth, that was curled like the petals
of an opening rose, tremble from a
mischief as she regarded the stiff black
silk back in the front Of the car and
the two huge females on our right,
whose son and brother was to arrive in
Philadelphia for their protection.
An equally gay mischief rose in my
eyes and responded to that in hers as
responded also by word:
"For which also let us be in graft
tude."
Many times in the months that fol-
lowed have 1 thought Of the lure Of
the laughing mischief in those eyes
that were like beautiful blue flowers
set in crystal and how they were to
lead me ON into the strange land OF
men in search Of those forbidden fruits.
And from that moment on did very
much enjoy myself in conversation
with that Madam Mischief while we
together did watch the retirement OF
al of the persons in the train. She
had many funny remarks to make and
made me merry with them, SO that the
hour of II o'clock had arrived before
we had Summoned the very black male
chambermaid to turn our seats into,

sonable embarrassment.
"Is it that you think I will obtain
the affection Of my uncle, the Gen.

myself now" answered in the man
ner Of the old Marquis of Flanders,
tinged with the grande dame manner
of the beautiful young Marquise Of
Cree and Bye whom l had murdered
and left in that room of the great ho-
tel in New York.
1T will be delicious to watch his
race, as you and l al1ght from this
train together, boy. 1t will be worth
the trouble of this hurried trip to New
York to be introduced to person who
disappeared suddenly In a tugboat in
the open ocean when he should have
landed at the docks with the propriety
that would have been expected Of him"
And as she spoke 1 could see that
something had happened in New York
which had brought much irritation to
the beautiful Madam Whitworth.
1T would seem that it is one of the
customs Of these great ships to send
out passengers from them in those very
funny small tugboats," 1 remarked as

to him, and then 1 got upon the train
Just in time for its departure.
These sleeping cars of America in
which to travel great distances are
very remarkable for their many
strange adventures, and l was very
much interested, but also perturbed,
when the black garcon placed my bag
and oyercoat upon the floor at the feet
Of very prim lady and left me to
stand uncomfortably in the aisle be-
fore her.
"Your seat, sir. upper five," he said
and departed with my so confines,
which is called dime in America.
"Took the liberty Of transferring you
here above another gentleman, sir.
The lady is nervous" said the con-
ductor Of the car little later as he
handed me another ticket.
Il beg your pardon, conductor, but
upper nine is engaged for my son, who
is. to get on at Philadelphia. 1 must
have him just opposite my daughter
and me. We are nervous" said a
large stout old lady who was accom-
panied by an even stouter daughter.
1t was very funny sight to behold
that small conductor stand with nv
large bags and overcoat and look
around at that car full Of ladies for a
place in which to deposit me and them
which was not previously occupied by
some female Of great nervousness.

one of those tugboats. It was a pain
in my breast that he must leave me to

exclaimed that Madam Whitworth as
she leaned back on her seat as If re.

gagement to my father-which came
as thunderbolt from a clear sky to
me. She was twenty, my father for
ty-seven. I had no influence with
either to break it off. They married,

and being the last to bid them good
night. One young man in particular
seems attracted to me more than the
others and I am equally interested in
him. My step-mother seems quite as
much so. She will not leave us to-
gether a moment and even goes so far
as to declare if she was not tied to
an ola husband she is sure she could
marry this young man. She says she
must have young company. I have
appealed to my father, but he is help
less now, as everything we owned is
now irrevocably in her possession. She
has even gone so far as to say when
angry that if I did not like her treat

out, which father has taken bitterly
to heart. He says, Daughter, I

CITRIC ACID.

This acid is simply a fruit juice in
| crystal form, always ready to use for
any purpose for which lemon juice
is needed. It can be bought in bulk
by the ounce, or in sealed four-Ounce
bottles, and is inexpensive.
1t dissolves readily in hot water, a
quantity can be dissolved and kept
ready for use. Use more water than
is needed for dissolving or it will soon
go back into crystalline form, and it
must be kept tightly corked.
When canning any fruit which has
too little flavor, citric acid can be used
instead of sliced lemons. When US
ing apples that do not cook up smooth
ly a few crystals added to the hot fruit
are all that is needed. Various kinds
of jam and marmalade are improved
by little of the acid the crystals
being boiled with the fruit. It can be
used instead of vinegar in catsup, and
takes less time to boil it down. The
catsup is much brighter color when
not boiled too long. If at the same
ground ones, the catsup will be a
red instead of a brown color.
A pleasing drink can be made from
the acid by making a fairly strong
lemonade with it and adding grape
juice enough. to give color and fla
VOr.
For lemon pie make the custard in
the usual way then ADJ enough of the
dissolved crystals to make it tart
enough. One or two drops in a one
egg meringue will cause the white
of egg to beat up very light and
springy, and it will remain firm with
mo danger of falling when taken from
the oven.
The acid is fine for the hands. No
preparation will smooth rough finger
ends or remove stains more quickly
or effectually.
