Mrs. Courtney and her older
daughter had just seated them
selves at the luncheon table when
Ruth entered.
"I am sorry 1 am late she apollo

"oh, that is all right" her
mother rejoined graciously.
1t was evident that her disap-
proval of her younger daughter
had lost some of it's harshness.
Ruth suspected that Doris was re-
sponsible for this.
How is Hugh?" Doris asked
now, trying to speak as IL she were
entirely at her ease.
HE is about as well as he WAS
yesterday" Ruth said.
Then she began talking of a play
that had had it's premiere last
night. To her relief, her mother
and sister followed her lead and
chat-cheerfully and naturally.
But when luncheon was over, and
Doris had gone upstairs, Mrs.
Courtney detained Ruth.

WITH sugar high and hard to
w get syrup Of various kinds
have taken on new impor-
tance in the eyes of housekeepers.
A syrup we'll liked by those who
have used It is made from sweet
potatoes. 1t is palatable and use
full. both in cooking and on the
table, and 1t can be made easily at
home from potatoes that otherwise
might be wasted because Of the
difficulty in storing them.
Any of the common varieties OF
sweet potatoes can be used. Pota-
toes which have been harvested for
some time yield q sweeter syrup
than those recently harvested.
The method OF preparing the
syrup Is as follows
Wash the sweet potatoes and re-
move any decayed portions or other
blemishes. Peeling the potatoes
improves the quality OF the syrup,
but is not necessary. After weigh
ing the potatoes, place them in
kettle with from two to three times
their weight OF water. and boil for
one and one-half hours or until
thoroughly soft. without removal
from the kettle and the liquid in
which they cooked, mash the po-
tatoes until smooth and add water
II needed 20 form a thin mush.
The temperature of this mixture
should be brought to 140 degrees
Fahrenheit. and one-half ounce OF
ground brewers malt should be
added for each pound OF sweet po-
tatoes as weighed before cooking.
The malt contains an enzyme ca
pable, under the proper conditions
of temperature, OF changing some
of the starch of the potato Into
sugar. This action Is best accom-
plished between 140 degree Fahren-
heit and $50 degrees Fahrenheit. IL
heated to too high a temperature the
activity of the malt enzyme Is de-
stroyed, hence for satisfactory ro-
suits a good thermometer Is neces-
sary. The mixture should be thor
oughly stirred as IL is very impor-
tant that the temperature OF the
mass be uniform throughout dur
the action of the malt.
After allowing II to stand for
a few minutes at 40 degrees L.
the mixture should be stirred CON
stantly while heating until the
temperature OF $50 degrees is
reached, and then should be re.
moved from the heat. Let the mix
turc, now technically termed the
mash" stand for one hour, with
occasional stirring. At the end of
this time place the mash In cloth
bags, close hte opening OF tho
bag and knead the mass gently.
The juice flows out under gentle
pressure, leaving the pulp behind.
Place the juice so obtained in an
open kettle and boil down to
syrup OF about the consistency of
molasses.
Good For Caramel Flavor.
This syrup is especially deli
clous in any product where n cara

WILL the high price of first

country? Such is precisely the
tendency today.
Five years ago the ordinary
father could take his son to the

thus standardize his boy as a mem

ask her to come to me-
Then she whipped out OF bed,
flung on a wrapper and arranged
her hair. When the woman re.
turned she knew the answer before
IL was spoken.
Miss Poole is not in her cabin.
Her bed has not been slept in"
ASK the captain to come here"
The Captsia Arrives.
In u few moments IL was all over.
The captain had come and gone
again with the FIRST page Of Diana's
letter In his hand. The procedure
after that was much the same as II
had been two nights before. except
that the captain went alone on his
search, and the result. with the evil
dcnce he held in his hand, was a
foregone conclusion from the first.
All inquiry terminated in the
same answer. No one had set eyes
on Miss Poole" since the previous
evening. The last person TO speak
with her was the stewsrdcss who,
on finding she did not intend going
to dinner, had offered to bring her
some. but had been refused. The
rest was conjecture riddle that
only the sea lying as blue and fiat
and still as the sea In a gaudly ole
ograph could answer. The story
had flown round the ship like wild
flre, and hardly q soul but felt as X
he or she had taken part in a MUIR
der.
Women reproached each other and
themselves, and men went sombcr-
eyed to the smoking room and or
dered drinks that left them still
dry-mouthed. The blue-and- golden
day. with the perfumes of Africa
already spicing it's breath, took on
an arid look. 1t was as IL old
Mother Africa had reached out her
brazen hand and dealt a blow, just
to remind every one on the boat
that she was there waiting FOR
them, perhaps with a tragedy for
each in her Pandora box.
The captain had not let 1t be
known whore and with whom Di-
ana's last note had been found.
With the remembrance OF April's
ashen face as she handed II to him,
he wished to spare the girl as much
as possible.
AS for her. the one clear thought
in her mind was that she must obey
Dianas last behest and keep silence.
1t was not hard to do that. for she
had no words. Throughout the day,
in a kind of mental torpor. she
helped the stewardess sort and pack
all the costly clothes and possess
sions which were really Diana's,
putting them into the trunks al
ready labeled for q hotel in Cape
Town.
She Does Not See sarle.
Her own things were locked and
sealed up in the abandoned cabin
on the lower deck; she would prob
ably never see them again. She did
not attempt to speak to Bellew.
though she well knew that an in
terview with him awaited her; for
there could be no mistake about his
being that "other person" referred
to in Diana's letter.

German Arrogance Visible

Berlin, July 2s. - That Germany

conference between allied and soviet
representatives at London, was the
opinion expressed in the reichstag to-

foreign secretary.
II am curious now to see" the sec

tiations soon to begin, eastern ques.
tions between soviet Russia and the
allies, would make the same mistake
as at Versailles, when 1t understood
to solve the eastern European ques
ton, namely that of proceeding with
out Germany. If that should happen
then eastern peace will become q
house Of cards, much more unstable
than the peace of Versailles ever can
become"
