High Cost of Beef.

ment of Agricultural
Mincemeat, that tOothsome filler for
pies. has been blacklisted the last
year or two by economical house
keepers because Of the high cost Of
beef, an important Ingredient in this
delicacy. Numerous ''meatless mince-
meat" recipes have been concocted
but TO the discriminating, mincemeat,
to have the real flavor, needs meat.
The members of Mother-Daughter
club in Washington county, Kansas,
are enjoying genuine mincemeat pies
this winter and at the same time they
are enjoying the feeling Of having
been economical. Rabbits are plenti-
full in certain parts of Kansas and
this club decided to use rabbit meat
in place Of beef in their old mince-
meat recipes. The pie filling which
resulted is said to be satisfactory
in every way, with a genuine mince-
meat flavor. And once more mince-
meat is reckoned household neces-
sity in Washington county instead of
a luxury.

BUILD TO SUIT HOUSEWIFE
House Construction From the
Standpoint Of the Women.

The average citizen, supported by
the women of his household, is de-
manding improved home building and
this will, of course, influence all future
building operations. From now on
consideration Of the housing question
must be primarily from the point Of
view of the housewife. Consequently,
labor-saving devices will be increasing
ly stressed. Landlords have learned
that 1t can be just as profitable to own
well-kept properties as 1t Is to own
dilapldated tenements, or vacant lots
filed with rubbish or billboards.
The United States Housing corpora
ton, however, has not adopted any
Utopian building scheme. 1t has SIM
ply recognized that the efficiency Of
the workman Is seriously deprecated
If he and his family must live In I'M
sanitary dwellings. 1t has been proved
pacity he must be not only well housed,
but housed adequately and comfortably
within reasonable distance from his
workshop and at a rental he will be
able to pay.
Industrial housing is a comparative
ly new proposition in America. 1t Is
an old one I'm England, and In many
ways II has been adequately solved.
The problem there is now largely dealt
with from the woman's angle.

Need for City PLANNING

The need Of city planning and the
pushing of public work is greater to-
day than ever before. said Walter ID.
Moody, managing director of the Chi
cago plan commission, In an interview
with a representative of the Christian
Science Monitor. Not only Is this true
because public work needs to be done
to aid in the solution Of the labor
problem, continued Mr.. Moody, but the
cities in the United States have grown
so rapidly in the last twenty years
and the problems of city life are so
complex that the new conditions can
not be COPIED with for the well-being
of the people In them without def
mite city plan to work to. The prob
lens of parks, better housing. SANTA
ton, ample means for recreation, and
facilitation of traffic and the relief of
traffic congestion, must be given spe
cial attention.

ForeWord.

Arson Carlyle, aged twenty
three, the ninth in descent from
Capt. Geoffry Carlyle of Glas-
gov, Scotland, was among the
heroic Canadian dead at Vimy
ridge. Unmarried, and the last
of his line, what few treasures
he possessed fell into alien
hands. Among these was a
manuscript, apparently written
in the year 1857, and which,
through nine generations, had
been carefully preserved, yet
never made public. The paper
was yeIIowed and discolored by
years; occasionally a page was
missing, and the writing itself
had become almost indecipher-
able. Much indeed had to be
traced by use of microscope.
The writer was evidently a man
of some education, and clear
thought, but exceeding diffuse,
in accordance with the style Of
his time, and possessing small
conception Of literary form. 1t
editing this manuscript for mod
ern readers have therefore
been compelled to practically re-
write 1t entirely, retaining mere
Iy the essential facts, with an
occasional descriptive passage,
although ! have conscientiously
followed the original develop
ment Of the tale. In this recon-
struction much quaintness of Ian
guage as we'll as appeal to prob
ability, may have been lost, and
for this my only excuse is the
necessity Of thus making the
story readable. have no doubt
as to its essential truth, nor do
question the purpose which
dominated this rover of the sea
In his effort to record the adven-
lures of his younger life. AS a
picture Of those days Of blood
and courage, as we'll as a story
of love and devotion, deem It
worthy preservation, regretting
only the impossibiIity of now
presenting it in print exactly as
written by Geoffry Carlyle.

stared aft at the poop deck. There
were number of persons gathered
along the low rail, probably all paSsen-
gers. Then my eyes encountered a
strange group foregathered beside the
lee rail.
There were four In the little party,
one of them a negress. Another was
clearly enough a colonial proprietor,
heavily built man Of middle age,
purple faced. 1 passed these by with
u glance, my attention concentrating
upon the other twO-a middle-aged
man and a young woman stand
ing side by side. The former was a
dashing looking blade, of not more
than forty, attired in blue slashed
coat, ornamented with gilt buttons,
and bedecked at collar and cuffs with
| a profusion of lace. A saffron cOlOred
waistcoat failed to conceal his richly
| beruffied shirt, and the hilt of rapier
was rather prominently displayed.
Such dandies were frequently enough
seen, but it was this mans face which
made marked contrast with his gay
attire. He was dark and hook-nosed,
apparently Of foreign birth, with black
mustache tightly clipped, so as to re-
veal the thin frmness of his lips, and
even at that distance l could perceive
the lines of scar across his chin. AL
| together there was an audacity to his
| face, a daring, convincing me he was
no mere lady's knight but one to whom
| fighting was trade. He was pointing
us out to his companion, apparently
| joking over DUR appearance, in an en-
deavOr to amuse. Seemingly she gave
small heed to his words, for although
her eyes followed where he pointed
they never once lighted with smile,
nor did / see her answer his sallies.
She was scarcely more than girl,
dressed very simply in some clinging
dark stuff, with loose gray cloak
draping her shoulders and small,
neat bonnet of straw perched upon a
mass of coiled hair. The face beneath
was sweetly piquant, with dark eyes
and rounded cheeks flushed with
health. She stood, both hands claspinG
the rail, watching us intently.
somehow felt as though her eyes were
upon me, and within their depths, even
at that distance, seemed to read a
message of sympathy apd kindness,
The one lasting impression her face
left on my memory was that OF limo
cent girlhood, dignified by womanly
tenderness.
What were those two to each other
I could not guess, for they seemed
from two utterly different worlds. Not

CHAPTER I.
Sent Into Servitude.

Knowing this to be narrative of
unusual adventure, and one which may
never even be read until long after
have departed from this world, when
1t will be difficult to convince readers
that such times as are herein depicted
could ever have been reality, l shall
endeavor to narrate each incident in
the simplest manner possible. My
only purpose Is truth. and my only
witness history. Yet, even now lately
as this all happened, 1t is more Ike
the recollections of dream, dimly re-
membered at awakening, and, per-
chance, might remain so, but for the
scars upon my body, and the constant
memory Of a woman's face. These
alone combine to bring back in vivid
ness those days that weekdays of
youth and daring, of desperate, law
less war, Of wide ocean peril, and the
Outstretched hands Of love. So that
here, where am writing 1t all down,

1t was still early morning when we
were brought out under heavy guard
and marched somberly forth through
the opened gates of the Jail. Ahead
we could perceive a forest of masts,
and what seemed like vast crowd Of
waiting people. That we had been
Z sentenced to exile, to prolonged servi-
6ude in some foreign land, was all that
any of us knew.
The guards prodded the crowd saw

Then the guards came to me, and,
with my limbs freed of letters, I was
passed down the steep ladder into the
semidarkness between decks, where
we were to be confined. 1t proved a
