of Indigestion. His demise occurred
at 5 o'clock. Mr.. Miller was widely
known in this city. ~
He had been employed with the
concern since 1904, and was foreman
of the roll turning department. Mr..
Miller was held in high esteem by his
fellow employees. He, possessed a
ever ready at all times to help those
in need,
He was liberal contributor to the
various war funds instituted through
out the city and it was a pleasure for
him to solicit funds for that cause.
Only few weeks ago he collected
$50 for the parpose of buying Christ
mas dinners for the boys in France
One of the most striking character
istics of his generosity in that respect
was to invite a group of soldiers home
on a short leave of absence to have
dinner with him at various clubs in
the city. F'raternally he was aff1lfat-
ed with Newburg lodge Of Masons,

nfRROvING ROAD DRAIN
AGE WITH DYNAMITE

There was q section of road In
Chester county, Pa, which caused
trouble for long time by remaining
watsr-soaAed after heavy rains. The
side bitches were laid out properly
and had good outlets into neighboring
brooks, but the roadbed was not
drained satisfactorily by them. This
roadbed was well consolidated and it
was considered undesirable to dig it
upst0 permit the installation of cross
drains in it If another remedy could
be found. ut was finally decided to
bore holes in the bottom of one of
the bitches and loosen the material
IN the bottom or THESE holes by ex-
plodfng light charges of dynamite
there. This is a very old practice for
Increasing the flow of oil and water
from deep wells, and worked very
satisfactorily on the road in question.
The bottoms of the holes were in
s11ale, which was so loosened by the
blast that this deep-lyirg material
was provided with number of cfs-
terms or chambers into which the wa
ter In the roadbed drained freely after
each rain. This remedy was provid-
"a at far less cost than the installa-
kfon Of cross drains would involve and
tho road was kept intact.

CHAPTER X.

Into and through her garden Elinor
walked quietly until she was safe from
surveillance. Then she ran swiftly,
ruthlessly across the flower beds,
through the roses. The terrace was
lighted. She avoided it. making de-
tour that led by a side entrance into
old Hilary's library. For obvious rea-
sons, old Hilary's private telephone
was in a sound-proof closet.
Before Walter had taken a hundred
watchful PAGES down the road she
had Ward at the other end Of the
line. What with running and terror,
she could hardly speak. Once, long
ago, she had heard q discussion be-
tween Boroday and her father about
the use of the telephone. Its sub
stance was that when the transmitter
is held to the chest a clear message
may be sent, but with the effect Of dis
tance. She held the transmitter to her
breast then, and it seemed to her that
Ward must hear the throbbing of
her heart.
'Hello, hello!" came his quick re,
sponse.
No need to ask who 1t was. She
knew every infection Of his voice.
"This is-a friend" Elinor painted.
II want to tell you something"
"Yes?" Very incisive now.
"Tonight-very soon-an attempt"
She stopped. What was she doing?
She, her fathers daughter, the head
| Of the band! By warning Ward she
might be sending Walter to his death.
A vision Of old Hilary, gray-headed,
keen-eyed, at this very telephone,
flashed into her mind, old Hilary,
whose religion had been Of keeping the
faith, not with his God, but with his
men.
"Who are your" The impatient
voice was saying in her ears. "Are you
sure you want me? This is Ward, OF
Saint Jude's."
Elinor quietly hung up the telephone
transmitter, and stood in the darkness
her hands to her throat.
Old Henriette, ever watchful, came
into the library beyond. Elinor could
hear her wandering about, knew the
moment when she discovered her wrap
on a chair, heard her plaintive voice
speaking through q window to the
empty terrace.
Miss Elinor," she called. "Miss
Elinor!'

NOW MAKE ARTIFICIAL MILK
Manufacturers in England Have Pro-
duced Substitute So Perfect That
Cream Rises on 1t.

According to Popular Science Month
ly, they are making in England an ar
tificial milk which is so perfect that
cream rises on it and cheese can be
made from it. The ingredients are
ground peanuts, soy beans, sugar, wa
ter and mineral salts.
About 400 grains of potassium phos-
phate is dissolved in 200 pints of water
at 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough
sugar is added to give $40 per cent
to the finished product. Forty pounds
of meal prepared from the nuts and
boiled in a m-jacketed pan; then
1t is subjected to an operation Of va
cuum pan, and lastly it is treated with
a culture of Tactic bacteria until the
required acidity is obtained. After 1t
is pasteurized and cooled small per-
centage Of citric acid is added.
The milk thus produced may be con-
densed and sold in cans, or dried and
powdered, or sold as liquid in bottles.
The edo ion of nut fats will give q GER
tain roportion Of cream. BY using
sufficient Tactic bacteria the product
may be cultured to give table cream
or a soured mass for making cheese.

hood collar of ermine bordered with
skunk, and the two furs appeared side

wrap. Down the fronts there were
three beautiful aluminium ornaments
which served to fasten the cloak.
Garments for Motoring.
A more ordinary garment, intended
for motoring or for wearing over a
smart frock on a chilly day, was made
of pale beige monks cloth and lined
with printed Indian silk which show
ed wonderful shades of blue, red and
gray on white ground. There was a
deep shoulder cape which was almost
covered with embroideries worked in
a heavy make of beige silk and roll
over collar of beaver fur which ex-
actly matched the shade Of the cloth.
This was a very harmonious and de-
sirable garment and I was not sur
prised to hear that it has already
proved a great success; copies of 1t
in different colors and materials seem
to be pouring in. Another favorlte
winter material is velvet-pile blanket

favor with the Parisiennes.
saw q driving wrap made OF this
material at the Paquin display; the
color was clear beige and the wrap
was finished with q deep collar and i'm
mense cuffs of soft beaver. while the
lining consisted of black and white
striped taffetas.
This was a thoroughly useful wrap
and one which I can confidently recon-
mend to my readers. The rage for
beaver fur is fierce as ever, and the
correct thing is beaver-colored ta1l-
ored suit trimmed with bands, collar,
ETC., of the best quality beaver fur.
With such a costume a smart little hat
in bright emerald velvet would be
worn.
Pretty Hat for Autumn.

corded silk crown. 1t was to accom-
pany a smart tailored suit made of law

any place else In the world. Did any
one ever hear Of an assistant rector
going about with a fortune In his
hand?"
He followed her into the library and
placed the box on the great table
where old Hilary had been wont to
divide the annual earnings Of the band.
Ward pointed to it with his humorous
smile.
"Would anyone suspect" he said,
"that in that box there is stone par
ish house, q new church organ, and a
children's Playground"
Then, glancing at her with keen
eyes, he was struck by her pallor.
"You to ask me if I am tired" he
cried. "Why, you poor child, it is you
who are worn out. Wouldn't it be bet
ter to have me come tomorrow and go
over the things you-spoke about?
II think we had better talk about
them now," said Elinor, desperately
calm.
At a quarter before eleven that Sum
day night, old Henriette, bent on her
evening task of sending Elinor to bed,
wandered into the library. She found
Ward, his earnest face glowing, ex-
pounding the tenets Of his faith from
the edge Of his chair; and Elinor ly-
ins back with her face drawn, watch
ing the clock on the mantel.
Old Henriette, astounded, withdrew,
not to sleep, but with the wakeful
alertness of old age, to wander up and
down the garden paths until such time
as Elinor's visitor might leave.
Ward suddenly realized that he was
making small headway. When at last
he caught Elinor's eyes on the clock
he flushed and rose.
'Ive done it all very badly" he
said. Il seem to wander all about
and mot get anywhere. You see it's
all so real to me"
Elinor had leaned back with closed
eyes.
1T is all very terrible to me-" she
replied. "This God Of vengeance"
"This God Of tenderness and mercy.
Ward supplemented. Don't you see
what it all means? How terrible this
life would be If this were all Our
little lives, full Of jealousies and
hatreds and crimes: l bringing that
box, over there on the table, up here
with me tonight, because dare not
trust it to my fellow men; I who could
not sleep last night for thinking OF
you, who are all that is good and sweet
and tender, up here alone in this great
house, with God knows what danger
lurking about"
Elinor had reached her limit. The
band Of her self-control snapped. She
could not hold him much longer, anc
before he went he must know.
"When I sent for you," she said, u
had two reasons. l wanted to see you
Please!" AS he took a step TOWARD
her. "And wanted to save you from
something that know Of"
