The girl gazed up at the glowing
countenuance Of her prince and many
things ran through her mind in the
second that she hesitated. He had
felt need for food, with his arm
around her! He had killed innocent
living creatures, even as the klngfish-
err had, and the marsh hen-but not,
thank goodness, not like the crab!
And he had killed them for her-be-
cause he loved her!
After all, what did it matter? There
were many things she didn't under
stand, and nothing mattered but that
"He loved her." The girl sprang up
with happy smile.

In shere desperation at the scarcity
OF sugar l decided to can some fruit
without it, trusting to luck that could
secure sugar when / needed the fruit
to serve.
In a laboratory with all the equip
ment of thermometers and thermo-
stats, it makes little difference wheth-
er one has a syrup to aid in the pre-
servation of the fruit or not.
At home l felt that l didn't have
the necessary apparatus to assure the
success Of the sugarless cold-pacE
method. Sugar itself is preserva-
tive and means much to the perfect
keeping" Of canned fruit.
However, was sure of the old-fash-
Toned, cooked method.
AS a little girl had seen wonder
full Pennsylvania-dutch housewife can
all her "pie timber" year after year
without sugar, and in the course OF
events she taught me her secret
which was no secret at all.
So whenever fruit has to be taken
care Of and there's no sugar, which
might happen to anybody on a farm
twelve miles by horse from town, cook
your fruit first and then can 1t,
And the secret which is on secret Is
that the fruit must be boiling when

Daddy Lorimer greeted Katherine
in his neighborly style, but 1t wasn't
for her, her friendly style. Then with
an apology to us women he gave an
order to the butler: Brooks, get a
stateroom on No. 10 for Mr.. Robert,
Buy a ticket to the Mexican border
make 1t through to San Jose If posi-
BILE. Phone for the reservations-ano
make 1t for Friday"
After that he turned to me to ask foT
lemon with his tea, AS he took his
cup, one eyelid dropped, just for an
instant. Daddy doesn't pretend to be
the most refined Of men, but he never
leaves his meaning in doubt.
Seeing through Nr James D. Lori,
mers little ruse, had to grant that
he wasn't at all bothered by the ethi-
cal niceties which worried his son.
II Bob couldn't bring himself to pro-
pose an elopement, the departure Of
Miss Miller could be arranged just the
same. Yet now that daddy had man
aged it-and it was as good as done
l didn't quite dare to imagine what he
had let my husband in for.
Miss Miller herself had been dis
tlnctly bored before daddy's arrival,
but after she had caught his order to
the butler, she grew pink with the
flush of excitement, and hurried her
call to a finish.
When she had departed, daddy said
to me:
go after her, Jane"

meant that was to accompany Bob,
Daddy took my head in his hands and
made me nod it, gently, in assent.
Now see here, my girl You don't

perfectly nice son to that siren? No
stree! Maybe I know the blood too
well. Bob isn't going south just now.

put into cans, and the cans must be
full of overlooking with the fruit and
juice.
My Own Recipes.
Just this time of year grapes and
pears and apples are most plentiful so
I'll give recipe for each one.
To Can Grapes.
Pick from stems and wash grapes.
Pulp, putting skins in one earthen-
ware bowl and pulps in another. Cook
pulps in granite preserving kettle Is
minutes, stirring occasionally. Rub
through a granite colander to remove
seeds. Discard seeds. Put pulp and
skins into kettle and cook Is minutes
longer Wrap a damp, hot towel
around ster1lized can. Fill can to
OVERLOOKING with BOILING fruit
and seal at once.
When opened grapes canned with
out sugar should be used as+follows::
For pie sweeten to taste.
For sauce use as much sugar as fruit
and boil 10 minutes.
- To Can Pears.
Pare, cut in halves and core. Put
into granite preserving kettle with
enough cold water to cover / use
cold water because the fruit cooks all
through and does not cook to pieces as
quickly. also cook for just one can
full at time. Boil pears until tender,
but not soft as they will have to be
cooked in syrup before being used
on the table. Wrap damp, hot towel
around sterilized can and fill to
overlooking with boiling fruit and
juice, being sure the juice entirely
covers the fruit.
To use, drain juice from pears. Make
syrup of juice and about half as much
sugar as there is juice. Cook pears
in syrup for 10 minutes. This will
make the fruit as sweet as one likes
them for sauce, but for preserves dice
the pears and use sugar in the ptopor-
ton of pound of sugar to pound of
fruit.
To Can Apples.
Pare, core and quarter apples. Put
into preserving kettle with enough cold
water to cover and cook until tender.
Put into sterilized cans and seal, US
ing same method as outlined above.
For pie, drain juice from fruit. Put
fruit in pie and sweeten to taste.
For sauce, put apples and juice into
granite saucepan, add sugar to taste
and boil few minutes. After remov-
ing from the fire add a little lemon
juice.

baby. It's a matter for a real diplomat
to handle. And you're the one. I'll
hold Bob here, at the last minute,
waiting for papers from New York
papers about the mines. That ought
to work first rate. And now you keep
an eye on the lady. I'll bet she's
throwing her buds into her bags at the
present moment. There's going to be
an elopement so far as she Is concern

Daddy tousled my hair in great gtee
before he. proceeded:
"And your husbands fine sense OF
honor isn't going to be hurt, my dear.
Say, how am for a Mr.. Ftx-it?
"Perfectly grand, daddy! I'll do my
own part, though l don't feel as if |
wanted any more adventures, and ex-
cept for our precious darling, I'd never
undertake another"
And so, before the week was out,
my trunk was packed and away went
in the stateroom reserved for Bob.
Nothing had been seen OF Miss Miller
between that eventfrl tea and the de-
parture of the train, but the first stop
we made, received this wire:
Keep under cover. She is on your
train. Lorimer."
And it might just as easily have been
Bob's train, not mine!
And in that case should never have
known, never, what Bob had made of
his "mans chance" to be loyal hus-
band!
loyal, soon found. Notes-one-two

sent to my stateroom! Being unad-
dressed, l took them in. At last told
the porter to inform the lady that a
woman was occupying the stateroom,
Only this and nothing more My chief
fear was that we two might come face
to face when we changed cars at the
border!
