What Happened During the Ride to Lillian UnderwoOd's-and at the door. Mrs Allis-for hers was the slen- der, yelled figure that had accosted me-slipped away and was lost in the crowd almost before l realized what it was she had said to me.
 Robert Savarin was assisting me into the taxi when the woman who once had been his wife darted to my other side and murmured her mocking message in my ear. 1 felt his hand tremble violently against my arm. and I put down my own agitation with a resolute hand, that I might the better calm his.
 Please don't mind her." I said in a low tone. You see, she isn't teal- ly dangerous; she's simply trying to annoy and frighten me-
 Whats the matter?" Mrs. Durkee shrilled anxiously from her seat in the taxi
 Nothing" her son rejoined short ly. Let's get out of this,' he added in low tone to MT. Savarin
 The artist nodded, and in another minute the taxi door had closed upon us and the curious, speculative lace of the starter had been left behind.
 Wasn't that awful" Mrs Durkee began, then stopped so suddenly that I knew her son had found some silent method of conveying to her the inadvisability of saying anything con- corning the strange woman.
 Isn't this the most awful old taxi ?" she said in the next breath, and smiled to myself in the darkness at the delicious naivete of the little woman. The note of pride in her voice revealed the fact that she be-. ieved herself to be a past mistress of diplomacy in having so quickly changed her words to ones so in- nocuous
 I was grateful to her, too, for the bit of unconscious humor steadied me, enabled me to toss the conversa- tional ball back to her.
 "She Is So Original
 Tt is rather uncomfortable" Il agreed, "but we'll be on the avenue soon, and then we shan't mind it.''
 "I wonder what Mrs. Underwood will have for dinner tonight? babbled Mrs. Durkee, who is always childish ly interested in food. She gives the most wonderful dinners!" she turned her face toward Robert Savarin. And they are so unlike the usual thing

FARNUM WELCOMED
 BACK BY FOX CROWD

It was a joyous welcome. that greeted Dustin Farnum last night when he returned from his long, dreary absence from New Britain movies And it's certain that he has been in the minds of his admirers all the time he was away, for the first appearance of his name upon the screen was the signal for an outburst of applause such as is seldom given to a motion-picture performer. In "Durand of the Bad Lands," Farnum takes us back few years to the time when the West was wild and wolly, and shows us the life and ad- ventures of regular" bad man. There are a number of unusually clever characters in the picture, in cluding a revival-preacher who acts as nurseto the three children that Durand, the bandit, has adopted Maude, a comedy mule, and Mucilage, an obliging cow, play rather promi- nent parts in the production. and do 1t well.

Fish Is Not Cheap.

 (Girard in the Philadelphia Ledger). MT. Hoover says we must all eat lots of fish.
 More of us would oblige MT. Hoover if some of the middlemen who handle the fish would have heart.
 Of course, the middlemen who bring their wares from Cape May or Anglesea can give the express charges and the cost of ice as their excuse for charging 16 to IS cents a pound for sea bass in Philadelphia.
 But how about the fellows who go out into the deep to get them? They, too, have the rising price of coal and the increasing wages of helpers to consider. Yet they put the fish, on the wharf beside the cars by the bar rel for cents a pound!

 There was genuine admiration in the nttIe woman's voice, and I knew that she meant no hint of disparage- ment of Lillian in her last words. But Robert Savarin evidently remembered Mrs. Durkee's cattishness toward Mrs. Underwood at the time the pistol shot crashed through our window and Lillian took charged of things. His voice was jelly incisive as he replied:
 Probably because no one else could do them so we'll"
 I heard Mrs. Durkee give little gasp of surprise.
 O-o-n! she said, prolonging the word, and there was more than sur prise in the utterance. I saw that in a flash the little woman had grasped the fact that Robert Savarin was in lave with Lillian, and I was sincerely sorry, for I knew that she wouldn't look upon the affair with the sympathy I had for Mir. Savarin and Lillian.
 The Second Taxi.
 Alfred Durkee came to the rescue of the situation.
 T hope that Dicky-bird can get there tonight" he said cordially-I had explained Dicky's absence by re- beating verbatim the tanatlizing message he had sent to me, but I had done it in such a manner that I flat tered myself neither of the Durkees suspected anything amiss I was con- vinced. however, that Robert Savarin understood the situation perfectly.
 I'm sure he'll be there If 1t be possible thing" I returned truthfully enough, for I knew that no matter how angry Dicky Nnight be at me, he would think twice before spelling Lillian's dinner by last-ninute ab- sence.
 well, we will find out pretty soon,, young Durkee returned, flor here We are"
 The taxi drew up in front of the old fashioned house, two floors of which Lillian had transformed into a most original and wonderfully com fortable home, and we all alighted. The next moment another taxi which had been following us drove slowly past. From its window. evidently marking the house we were entering leaned Mrs. Allis.

Misunderstood, Alas!

IL appears we nave been cruelty misun
derstoOd by the esteemed Las Vegas Optic
By an editorial designed and devised tc
make Santa Fe boosters sore because Las
Vegas is more progressive and holds week
ly commercial club luncheons when We
don't, we merely succeeded in getting the
Optic sore because we failed to naturally
assume that Santa Fe ought to tag behind
Las Vegas in this regard.
Bless your soul, old dear, we all think
over here that Las Vegas is a lovely place
Far, far be it from such that we should
cast any aspirin upon Las Vegas
The editor of the Optic doubtless clearly
remembers, ASA small boy, when his par.
ents used to rent him out to the neighbors
as a model of department for their chill
dren to emulate. Thus we merely. sought
to stimulate the ambition of Santa Fe BY
pointing out where Las Vegas was getting
ahead of us. In return for which we gel
a cruel smack upon the ankle. We think
the editor OF the Optic ought to be ashamed
of himself to say all the mean things
which we reproduce on this page, just wher
we were trying to say a good word for his
town. "
All this is written, of course, with the
mental reservation that Santa Fe has La
Vegas skinned fifteen townships. But We
can learn a lot from Las Vegas; and thai
boosters luncheon idea on which they bea'
us is something which would do Santa FL
a world of good. Meanwhile. the editor o.

nothing but friendly rivalry between these

b'F'
Sugar and Failure of JeIIies
Washington, d. C,-Much waste of sugar
and spoilage Of jellies can be avoided by u.s.
ing a simple alcohol test recommended by
the Bureau of Chemistry, United States De-
partment of Agriculture. To determine how
much sugar, should be used with each kind
of juice put a spoonful of juice in a glass
and add to it one teaspoonful of 95 per cent
grain alcohol, mixed by shaking the glass
gently. Pour slowly from the glass, noting
how the ~pectin-the substance in fruits
which makes them jell-is precipiated. If
the pectin is precipitated as one lump a cup
Of sugar may be used for each cup Of juice;
If in several Jumps the proportion OF sugar
must be reduced to approximately three
fourths the amount OF the juice. II the pee.
tin is not in Jumps but is merely precipitat-
ed, the sugar should be one-half or less OF
the amount Of the juice. II the juice shows
no precipitation under this .stest, 1t is UNI
suitable for jelly making and must be COM
bined with apples or other juices rich In
pectin.
The housewife will do we'll before making
the test, to taste the juice, as fruits not as
acid as good tart apples probably will not
make good jelly unless mixed with other
fruits which are acid.
