Cactus Candy.

Louisiana sugar cane planters have
evolved plan for manufacturing
candy from the spineless cactus. In
the process the peel of the plant is
removed, dipped into hot molasses
and coated with granulated or pow
dered sugar. The result Is cOnfec-
ton Of rich and delicious flavor.
So successful have been the expert
ments with the new sweet that cane
planters are now growing cactus,
which formerly was utilized, when
used at all, for cattle fodder. Planters
can in this way furnish plenty of raw
material for the new product.
Another important result in the
making of what some enterprising adj
vertiSer may call "kaktuSkandy,"
says an exchange, is that sugar mills
which have heretofore been idle for
nine months in the year can now use
part of their equipment in the candy
manufacturing industry.

whence northward ran the Appian way
of British Columbia, the Cariboo road,
over which she had journeyed by stage.
She noted the distance, and the limit
eds hour of arrival, and looked at her
watch. Then a feverish activity took
hold Of her. She dressed, got her
suitcase from under the berth, and
stuffed articles into it, regardless of
order.
That done, she set her suitcase in
the aisle, and curled herself in the
berth, with her face pressed close
against the window. A whimsical
smile played about her mouth, and her
fingers tap-tapped steadily on the
purse, wherein was folded Bill Wag-
staff's map.
And then out of the dark ahead a
cluster of lights winked briefly, the
shrek of the limited's whistle echoed
up and down the wide reaches of the
North Thompson, and the coaches
came to a stop. Hazel took one look
to make sure. Then she got softly into
the aisle, took up. her suitcase, and left
the car. At the steps she turned to
give the car porter message.
"Tell Mrs. Marsh-the lady in lower
fve," she said, with a dollar to quicken
his faculties, that Miss Weir had to
go back. Say will write soon and
explain"
She stood back in the shadow of
the station for few seconds. The linn
ited's stop was brief. When the red
lights went drumming down the track,
she took up her suitcase and walked
uptown to the hotel where she had tar
ried overnight once before.
The clerk showed her to a room.
She threw her suitcase on the bed and
turned the key in the lock. Then she
went over, and, throwing up the win
dow to it's greatest height, sat down
and looked steadily toward the north,
smiling to herself.

aloud. "Of course I can find him.!
And with that she blew a kiss from
her finger tips out toward the dark
and silent North, pulled down the
shade, and went quietly to bed.

without reason.
