TABLE DECORATIONS

The best plant for a daily table deco
ration is undoubtedly the asparagus
plumosus. 1t has foliage much dain-
tier than any other fern.
1t can be easily grown in bushy
compact form which a plant designed
for table use should have.
No matter what your selection the
arrangement of the cut flowers and
the beauty of the potted plant make
the effect.
Poppies, of gorgeous colors, artfsti-
caliy placed in a simple glass bowl,
makes one of the most beautiful and
restful center pieces.
For your plants get three or four
asparagus plumosus and give them Il
good soil Of garden loan made light
with sand. Water moderately Sun
shine is, not essential to it's successful
culture.
Shower several times a week and
keep red spider from injuring it. Be
sure to nip off the end of each shoot,
as advised to above to make the plant
spread out well.
Don't forget that bowl of flowers
on the table is a great distributor of
| sunshine and dispeller of gloom.

| ANYBODY CAN GROW PEoNIEs

The peony is essentially the peoples
flower. 1t fiourishes in any decent soil
and after struggling with insect pests,
worrying over soil conditions and
studying fertilizer propositions in the
garden of more delicate flowers the
peony comes into its own in the gar
den Of the average grower of flowers.
1t must needs be planted where it
will be assured an abundance of light,
and the choice of a soil is one that is
moderately well-drained: The roots
should be planted so that the crown
face. Plant a stake nearby to mark
the spot. Peonies may be planted in
the spring but the best time for this
work is September or October.
To propagate peonies divide the
| 1eshy roots with a sharp knife, but
take care to avoid cutting through the
buds. Every root with bud will pro-
duce a plant.
The planting of the peony is a per-
manent one so it is worth considera.
ton to obtain the finest possible va
rieties. Its beauty and ease Of cult
walton recommend it to the attention
of the amateur.
If the plants do not seem to thrive
satisfactorily, an application of bone
meal after the blooming season, {
small handful to a plant, may be ap
piled.

CHAPTER XIII.
"sweet Fortunes Minion."

It was late dinner-time when Smith
closed the big roll-top desk in the new
private suite in the Kinzie building Of
fees and went across the street to the
hotel. The great dining room of the
HOphra House was on the ground floor
The room was well filled, but the head
waiter found Smith a small table in
the shelter of one of the pillars and
brought him an evening paper.
Smith gave his dinner order and be-
gan to glance through the paper. The
subdued chatter and clamor of the big
room dinned pleasantly in his ears.
Half absently he realized that the head
waiter was seating someone at the
place opposite his own; then the faint
odor of violets. instantly reminiscent,
came to his nostrils. He knew in
stinctively, and before he could put
the newspaper aside, what had hap
pened. Hence the shock, when he found
himself face to face with Verda Rich
lander, was not so completely paralyz.
ing as it might have been. She was
looking across at him with a lazy smile
in the glorious brown eyes, and the
surprise was quite evidently no sur
prise for her.
'T told the waiter to bring me ovel
here" she explained; and then, quite
pleasantly: at is an exceedingly littl,
world, isn't it, Montague?"
He nodded gloomily.
"Much too little for a man to hidt
in" he agreed; adding: "But 1 thinl
l have known that, all along; Known

at least, that it would be only Ques-
ton of time"
After the waiter had taken Miss
Richlander's order she began again.
"Why did you run awayP" she asked.
Smith shrugged his shoulders help
lessly.
"What else was there for me to do?
Besides, believed, at the time, that
had killed Dunham. I could have
sworn he was dead when / left him."
She was toying idly with the salad
fork. Sometimes l am almost sorry
that he wasn't" she offered.
(which is merely another way of
saying that you were unforgiving
enough to wish to see me hanged?" he
suggested, with sour smile
"It wasn't altogether that; no."
There was pause and then she went
on: II suppose you know what has
been happening since you ran away
what has been done in Lawrenceville,
meanT
II know that have been indicted by
the grand jury and that there is a re-
ward out for me. It's two thousand

C0RNED WHALE AND GREENS
Suggested by New Method of
Treating Sea Mammals.

To Gustav Adolf Holzapfel of Leip-
zig, Germany, patent has been grant
ed that suggests the culinary possibili-
ties of the meat of whales, SEALS wal
ruses and other mammals of the sea-.
1t is entitled Method of Making the
Meat of Sea Mammals Fit for Food
and is described as follows in the Pat
ent Office Gazette:
'The art of producing a meat food
for human consumption which consists
in subjecting sea mammal meat to the
action Of cold water and warm water
in alienation, then subjecting the so
treated sea mammal meat to the action
of an aqueous picking solution con-
tanning common salt, sugar and a pun
gent alcoholic liquor, and a savory
vegetable, then subjecting the SO
picked sea mammal meat to pressure
operative to eliminate more or less OF
said picking liquor, together with ex'
tractive matters offensive to the taste.'

WastefuI Menus.

If Americans generally do not over
feed they do to large extent indulge
in diverse dishes and fancy foods,
which run up bills. The 40 Boston
hotel and restaurant prOprietors who
have combined to cut the frills out of
their menus have begun a movement
that should enlist not only public cater
ers, but hoisekeepers all over the cOun-
try. If we do not cut down the volume
of our food consumption but merely
dispense with so much variety a vast
amount of waste in both labor, and
foodstuffs will be avoided.-Provi.

CHAPTER XIV.
Broken Threads,


Mr.. Crawford Stanton a little later
went upstairs to rejoin the resplendent
lady, who was taking her after-dinner
ease in the most comfortable lounging-
chair the mezzanine pk1rlors afforded.
"No good" he reported. 1.-THE girls
name is HIGHLANDER, and sheer her
father-comes from one of half a dozen
'Lawrencevilles'-yo can take your
choice among en-
Money!" queried the comfortable
one.
Buying mines in the Topaz" said
the husband mechanically. He was
not thinking specially of Mr.. Josiah
Richlander's possible or probable rat
ing with the commercial agencies; he
was wondering how well Miss Rich
| lander knew John Smith, and in what
manner she could be persuaded to tell
what she might know. While he was
| turning it over in his mind the two in
question, Smith and the young woman,
passed through the lobby on their way
to the theater. Stanton, watching them
narrowly from the vantage-point af-
forded by the galleried mezzanine
drew his own conclusions. By all the
little signs they were not merely chance
acquaintances or even casual friends
Their relations were closer-and OF
! longer standing.
Stanton puzzled over his problem g
long time, long after Mrs. Stanton ha6
forsaken the easy chair and had disap
peared from the scene. His Eastern
employers were growing irascibly i'm
patient. Who was this fellow Smith
and what was his backing? they were
beginning to ask; and with the asking
there were intimations that if Mr.
Crawford Stanton were finding his tasl
too difficult, there was always an oil
tentative.

guess 1t was mistake. What DO you
want me to do?''
"Oh, anything you like; anything
that will keep me from being bored to
death"
Smith laid his napkin aside ana
glanced at his watch.

the opera house, l believe" he SAID

chair aside. eff you'd care to go, III

that 1 was mistaken. Take me up
stairs, and We'll go to the play"
They left the dining room together,
and there was more than one pair OF
eyes to follow them in frank admira-
ton. "What a strikingly handsome
couple" said a bejewelled lady VINO
sat at the table nearest the door; and
her companion, gentleman with rest
less eyes and thin lips and a rather
wicked jaw, said: "Yes; I don't know
the woman, but the man is Colonel
Baldwin's new fnancier; the fello"
who calls himself John Smith,"
The bediamonded lady smiled dryly

Most of us can look back to a day
when the kind word of some good
friend made US forget how dark and

though we know that good turn" will

Morse Code Failed.

A Chinese entered the office of the
Western Union Telegraph company at
Evansville few days ago and left a
telegram with Ivan Bennett, the signal
clerk. The yellow man said the tele-
gram was to be sent to Chicago. Ben
nett hung the telegram on the hook
for the operators and John Black, an
operator, got it. The telegram was
written in Chinese and Black and the
other operators were unable to deci-
pher it. They got an interpreter be-
fore the message could be sent.-In-

moved and once more plunged into the
business battle.
Notwithstanding new trouble
which Stillings had wished to talk over
with his president and the financial
manager the night before-the claim
set up by the dead-and-gone railroad
to right of way across the Tlmanyoni
at the dam-the battle was progress
ing favorably. Williams was accom-
plishing the incredible in the matter
of speed, and the dam was now nearly
ready to withstand the high-water
stresses when they should come. The
powerhouse was rising rapidly, and
the machinery was on the way from
the East. Altogether things were look
ing more hopeful than they had at any
period since the hasty reorganization.
Smith attacked the multifarious details
of his many-sided job with returning
energy. If he could make shift to hold
on for few days or weeks longer.
While Smith was debating the final
batch of letters to the second stenog-
rapher young man with sleepy eyes
and yellow creosote stains on his fin
gers came in - ask for a job. Smith
put him off until the correspondence
was finished and then gave him hear
ing.
"What kind of work are you looking
for?" was the brisk query.
Shorthand work, if 1 can get it,
said the man out of job.
Smith was needing another stenog
rapher and he looked the applicant
over appraisingly. The appraisal was
not entirely satisfactory. There was 6
certain shifty furtiveness in the half
opened eyes, and the rather weak CHR
hinted at a possible lack of the dis
creetness which is the prime requisite
in confidential clerk.
"Any business experienceT
"Yes; I've done some railroad work.
Here in Brewster?"
Shaw lied smoothly. "No; il
Omaha"
"Any recommendations"
The young man produced a handful
of ITO Whom 1t May Concern" letters
They were all on business letterheads
and were apparently genuine, thougl
none of them were local. Smith raj
them over hastily and he had no mean
of knowing that they had been care
fully prepared by Crawford Stanton a
no little cost in ingenuity and painstak
ing. How careful the preparation ha
been was revealed in the applicant
ready suggestion.
'You can write or wire to any o
these gentlemen" he said; "only,
there is job open, I'd be glad to go t
work on trial."
The business training of the presen
makes for quick decisions. Smit
snapped rubber band around the le
! ters and shot them into pigeonhole c
his desk.
"Well give you a chance to shO7
; what you can do" he told the man OF
of work. "If you measure up to tn
requirements, the job will be permi
> nent. You may come in tomorro'
| morning and report to Mr.. Miller, th
chief clerk"

1 that Shaw had been waiting in IL

ATHL)TICS.

The track team is now in practice In
full sway. They have not been daunt-
ed by the rain but have continued to
practice through the worst of it. II
these boys show as much ability as
they have determination, they Will
surely walk off with their share OF
the victories and honors at the school
meet. Any boy who tries to help his
school by athletics or in any other way
has some spirit, but the ones who give
M all their individual thoughts and
pleasures and come out rain or shine
to help their Alma Mater, have some
thing besides the spirit. These boys
have not been practicing in vain;
there has already been noticed de-
cided improvement but they are not
satisfied with doing better. they want
to do their best; they therefore con-
tinue 10 strive TO reach their goal.
This persistence and spirit is not
coused for any selfish motives or in
dividual gain; these boys are working
for their school and their town. Our
present team has been having trou-
Bile in finding many boys with good
athIetical bodies. We have as yet, not
found one who has the size TO put the
shot, but We have some long legged
ones who are proving themselves very
efficient in all the running events, and
unless some OF these other towns turn
out some more extremes than ours, we
are sure that they will lead the field
