famous "Wllly-Nioky" correspondence
Hintzes work as German minister to
Mexico, where he deliberately set him
self to bring about quarrel between
Huerta and Carranza in order to drag
the United States into intervention. is
revived in the newspapers here and the
full story is told of the manner in which
he managed to get from Mexico to
China on his appointment as German
minister to ,Pekin. The Paris papers
make much capital out Of the fact that
Hnt1e was forced TO disguise himself
as stoker while on the voyage from
San Francisco to Pekin and hide him
self in a coal chute to avoid the Japan
ese search.
1t is not believed here that man
with such a record as HintEe can pos
sibly be intended for the headship at
Wilhelmstrasse. but that he is much
more likely TO be sent to Moscow TO
bring to a climax the work begun by
Won Mirbach. His nomination" says

BY all means stick it out, PerpleX-

men on the staff where you are en-
ployed perfectly willing to be frank,
warm friends with you, rather than
lovers. 1t is quite possible for two
people of the opposite sex TO have
a warm friendship without allowing
the tender emotion to creep in. Be
frank with the men at your office;
don't object to little teasing, and
don't be a prude. On the other hand,
maintain a ladylille reserve, and
sbcw them that they cannot take
liberties with you. They will grow
to respect your feelings, and help

there are no people in the world so
fair and considerate once they grow
to like you, as newspaper men.

suspected that you cared for me-
In that way, l mean"-
She. too, stopped, amazed at the
sudden change that swept across
the countenance of the man before
her. He stepped quickly forward
and caught her by the hand.
1T is true" he said, harshly,
this thing that Mrs. Livingstone
has suggested"
She was too much dazed to hear
the note of inquiry in his voice, and
thought that he had made a state
nent to which she could not con-
cur.
Il did not know-did not suspect
how matters were"-
Then, her self-control deserting
her, she turned from him sharply,
snatching her hand from his.
oh" she exclaimed, everything
is wrong! don't know what to
do"
There was a long silence, during
which the cracking of the fire
sounded very loud. The girl crossed
the room to the hearth and stood
looking down at the blazing logs.
She thought she understood it all
now. This man loved her. He had
revealed this-perhaps unintention-
ally-to Mrs. Livingstone. He had
probably confessed it to Dora. or
she had suspected it and, seeing his
unhappiness, had sent the object of
his affections in here where he
could be alone with her. And now
ne had as good as told Cynthia that
he loved her.
Conditions which she had unwit-
tingly brought upon herself SEEM
ed to be hemming her in. She
could not eXtricate herself without
making this man wretched-since
as seemed certain, he loved her
If 1t were Milton
"She clenched her hands. She
must not think of Milton.
She heard Gerald crossing the
room toward her, but she did not
look up. He came and stood close
to her, taking one of her hands in
his.
Dear Cynthia" he said gently.
you say you do not know what to
do. Why not marry me?"
He Kisses Her
She did not move. She could not
reply.
IF you will trust me with such
precious thing as yourself" the
steady voice went on, IT will try to
keep you from being sorry YOU

of you. l shall have to be very
good man, dear, to be worthy of
your affection"
Then she looked up. She must
try to speak the truth, if she could
do so before it was too late.
Perhaps" she faltered, you may
not consider such affection as / can
give sufficient
He interrupted her. IF it is suf-
fcient to make you willing to marry
me, IT is far more than l Deserve"
he said.
When she did not reply, he put
his arm about her and kissed her
gently, almost reverently.
II will try to be worthy of YOU,
dear" he repeated.

sharply from the hall.
A second later she had swept
aside the portieres, but she stopped
short on the threshold of the Ii

CHAPTER XXXIV

What is the natter" Cynthia
asked, astonished at her cousins
agitation. why should take off
my hat down here? / wiz run up
and leave it and my coat in my
room"
mo, dear-please do as 1 say!"
Dora insisted in a nervous whis-
per. ] will explain later"
She had already seized Cynthia's
hatpins in her trembling fingers
and had begun to draw them out,
glancing apprehensively toward the
stairs as she did so. Although at
loss to account for this strange
behavior, Cynthia did as she was
asked and removed her hat and
coat hastily.
Now go into the library and see
Gerald" Dora ordered. II will
whisk your things away up to your
room. 1 will be back after a while"
Before the other could protest,
Dora had pushed Cynthia ,oward
the open door of the library and
had hurried swiftly and noiselessly
down the hall to the rear stairs.
Why was she going UP the back
stairs, and what was all the mys-
terry about? Cynthia marvelled.
Well, it was none OF her business
to question at this juncture. All
she could do was to comply with
Dora's appealing request.
Pushing aside the portieres, Gym
thia entered the library. AS usual,
an open fire blazed on the hearth,
and in frone of it stood Gerald
Stewart. AS he came forward to
greet her, she saw that his face was
very pale.
Good afternoon!" she spoke in
as matter of-fact a tone as she
could muster. Dora sent me in
here"
she has told you"-he began,
then checked himself as she shook
her head.
Dora told me nothing"
Have you seen Mrs. Living
stone?" he questioned.
Yes" she answered, 'I have seen
Aunt Amanda"
Her thoughts flew back to the
couple of hours ago.

And she told you"-Stewart be-
gan, awkwardly-"I know she sus-
pects-that she must have seen
how much l care"-- He stopped,
fioundering hopelessly in his en-
barrassment-his face, just now so
pale. flushing hotly.
Cynthia, watching him, felt a
sudden confirmation of her recent
ly-formed theories.
II am sorry. Gerald" she said,
humbly, that matters have gone so
far and that / did not know. Had L

More Corn Bread

One of the first war breads to be-
come popular was corn bread. With
every steaming piece of spoon bread
lifted from the casserole, the pa
triotic housewife feels the proud
glow o ia well-aimed bayonet charge
at the enemy. Every time a piece of
corn bread is served at the table
with a whitish color and suspi-
Ciously sweetish taste, she feels that
though she has made a personal
attack on the enemy, the weapon
was little blunted or that the
charge didn't quite go off.
Maybe using a large part white
flour was compromise with Nr.
Husband who cant stand to much
corn taste" And maybe the added
spoonful of sugar was to make it
more palatable to Johnny and Su-
sic who tease Cor that bread that
tastes like cake"
Every little bit helps, however
and it has been this partial substitu-
ton of other cereals that has grad
lally accustomed the conservative
family to a wartime bread. Now.
however. it is "fifty-fifty." That is,
the housewife must buy as much of
other cereals as she buys wheat, but
it is left to individual taste and dis
cretion how this shall be used. Some
may be served as n vegetable, such
as hominy and rice, and others as a
flour admiXture for breads and pas
try. But all this will stabilize the
effort to save food ard apportion the
saving fairly among al! classes of
consumers.
Accustom your family to more
and more of another cereal in their
bread and if corn breads are still Il
favorite with them and the meal is
easily available in your locality,
give them varied kinds of corn bread
as often as possible.
Another conservation measure in
making a liquid mixture like corn
