name as Smith.
The audiencs sat quietly, and
Smith stuck to his post until a half
hour after the curtain was supposed
to have been raised. Then the
people began to manifest signs Of
impatienee. and they showed rest
lessness as a church clock struck
the hour following the scheduled
beginning and not a sign Of the
performers was in evidence.
The climax came when a trustee
OF the church walked solemnIy
down the aisle and mounted the
stage He said:
The man who brought you here.
Smith, the mulatto, has skipped
with your money, and Furthermore
we have aseertsined that the Fisk
troupe is in Europe"
The audience sat as still as death

VVTHY had Desiree NLsighton
W been unwilling to meet him
when she was visiting his
aunt?
That was the question that tor
mented David DeLaine for several
hours after he had left the law
ysr's office.
A few days ago the problem
would have affected him much less
than It did now Today, with the
knowledge that he was q man Of
independent means, he longed TO re-
turn to New York and lay his heart
and fortune at the feet Of the girl
he loved.
Mature reflection told him that
she might refuse TO see him when
she learned that he had been an Inn
poster had gone under an assumed
name, had pretended to be what he
was not and had concealed from
her and her father who he really
was. She might not be able to un-
deFstand the instinct that had moved
him to adopt this course, to set out
upon the adventure that had come
near terminating disastrously. IL
the pendant had not been found
he might have been accused Of
theft.
Then he reminded himself how
she had confessed to him her faith
in him, and he yearned to 80 90
her Immediately.
But Henry Andrews statement aB
to her reluctance to meet the
nephew OF Miss Jeanne DeLaine
worried him intensely. II she wished
to avoid him when he was living q
conventional life in Baltimore,
would she not shrink from him
now?
Why had she been unwilling to
meet the nephew OF an old friend
at her mothers?
He wished some one could explain
this to him. II his aunt were here,
she might enlighten him. New that
she was gone, who could?
All at once he remembered his
aunt's intimate friend, Miss Bristol
He recalled his brief talk with her
in October in New York. and his
bungling efforts to escape her rec
ognition that evening.
He was now in the smoking room
OF his hotel. Seeking q telephone
directory, he looked for the ad-
dress Of Miss Myra Bristol"
In five minutes he had called her
up and asked permission to pay his
respects to her late that afternoon.
"Oh are you back from
France?" the spinster exclaimed.
"I seem to be-" he laughed. "And
I am eagerly anticipating q call
upon you"
but" she insisted. Il have a
better plan. Instead Of coming

with me this evening"
Thanks! I'd love to-" he accept

from New York with him. He

instructions, you win not get re-
suits.
The old way to make sponge
cake, for instance was to use six
eggs. The new way requires:
1 cup sugar. = cup water; 8 eggs;
/ cup flour; = teaspoon salt; 1
teaspoon flavOring; ? teaspoons
baking powder; Is cup cold water.
Boil sugar and = cup water
until syrup spins a thread, add to it
the stiffly beaten whites of eggs,
beating until the mixture IS cold.
Sift together, three times, the flour,
salt and baking powder: beat the
yolks Of eggs until thick. Add a
little at q time Of the flour mix
tuFe and egg yOlzs alternately to
white Of egg, beating after each
addition. Add q cup cold water
and flavoFing. Mix lightly and bake
in moderate oven about 1 hour.
Those making the cake who do
not boil together the sugar and
water because they "are not boiled
together by the average housewife
in making cakes Of this kind" and
instead beat together the whole
egg and sugar, flour and water, fla
voring and baking powder added
will get b small unleaven cake.
The heavy, hot syrup makes a
light mixture when the whites OF
eggs are added, much like a rich
frosting, and holds the flour, leav-
ening powder when added in a
spongy mass not unlike an old
fashioned sponge cake. The cake
will be fine grained and light and
the same size as with the six eggs.
Cakes Of this order do not come
in the class with those made OF
the so-called "egg substitutes"
as they are made with 3 eggs, while
those made with egg substitutes
call for the powder substitute
mixed with water, which is supposed
to have been evaporated from the
egg. These substitutes are usually
cheap baking powder mixtures
which simply Tighten" your dough.
They are expensive and have no
food value. Your results would be
the same, probably, IL you doubled
the amount OF baking powder you
used and omitted the egg substitute.

DEAR MISS FATRFAy.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
want TO tell and ask you a few
things. I am young married Wom-
an with a f0-month-ol5 child. Three
weeks ago my husband and I Bepa-
rated. which was because OF nom
support. I left him. Yesterday ne
came where am and told me be
would give me all the money ne has
IN the bank and be good 20 me, and
he said if didn't come back within
week or two he would kin him
self, as he cannot live without the
baby. Now, I have thought it over.
No one knows what love ig until
parting comes. which would &c be
start life anew, or 80 away TO friends
and try 20 forget &C all, the latter be-
ing what I had intended TO Go?
Would you care what your people
would says> and how would you put Il
20 your father2 V.D.
Your young husband seems "a
have had a very good lesson By
your leaving him and his present
attitude shows real repentance. Why
not give him another chance? we
all make mistakes and this would
be a terrible world II we never had
an opportunity to retrieve them.
Make him understand that you are
going back on a trial basis and that
you win leave him again perma.
Hently unleEg he doeb what Is right
Try 90 get your money affairs on
apEeL sound basis. Tell him what
the living expenses are per week
and make him give you the amount
to cover them. II he treats you
well from now on, think your

To facilitate the work of gather
ing agricultural statistics for the
next census, the Government has
planned to distribute 100000
schedules in advance of the enumer.
ator's visit, SO that the farmer may
become familiar with the questions
and be prepared to furnish the re-
Quisite data regarding acreage,
tenure, values, live stock and crops.
1t is believed that the coming census
will disclose an increase Of approxi-
mately 1000, 900 farms since 1910,
when the number of farms enumer-
ated was 1851, 500, valued at more
than $4,000, 200, 900.
The actual work of enumeration
will begin on January 2. 1t is ex-
pected. in view of the preparations
that are making, that the statistics
as to the population of all cities and
towns will be gathered in about a
week. 1t will require nearly a month
to obtain final figures for rural dis
tricts.
