 Slaney shrugged his shoulders.
 I'll chance that" said he. First of all I want you gentlemen to un- derstand that I have known this lady since she was child. There were seven of us in a gang in Chi cago, and Elsie's father was the boss of the Joint He was clever man, was old Patrick. It was he who in vented that writing, which would pass as a child'S scraWl unless you just happened to have the key to it. Well, Elsie learned some of our ways, but she couldn't stand the business, and she had a bit of honest money Of her own, so she gave us all the slip and got away to London. She had been engaged to me. and she would have married me, I believe, if I had taken over another profes- sion, but she would have nothing to do with anything on the cross. It was only after her marriage to this Englishman that I was able to find out where she was. 1 wrote to her, but got no answer. After that l came over ands as letters were no use, I put my messages where she could read them.
 Well I have been here a month now. I lived in that farm where I had room down below and could one the wiser. I tried all I could to coax Elsie away. I knew that she read the messa ges, for once she wrote an answer under one of them. Then my temper got the better of me, and I began to threaten her. She sent me a letter then, inploring me to go away. and saying that it would break her heart if any scandal should come upon her husband She said that she would come down when her husband was asleep at three in the morning. and speak with me through the end window if I would go away after -T1kzf- IT., scame down and brought money with her. trying to bribe me to go.

The Market Basket

By JESSIE WEIZEL KNOTT. We must religiously save all left overs, if we are to get the most out of the money we spend for food.
 Bones that are left can be made into excellent soup. There are many ways to use up cold meat. even if all that is left is unattractive scraps. Save the water in which vegetables are boiled, except potato water and bean water Rice water makes an ex- cellent meat, tomato soup. and cab baSe water makes good soup Crecy. This month lamb and veal are cheaper and more plentiful. Celery is still good, and new cabbage is in the markets in sufficient quantity to be fairly cheap. There are new string beans, peas, eggplant, radishes, it is a joy to cook it, a condition that does not always obtain.
 Salad Greens.
 Mushrooms are fresh and good. Onions are coming in from the South, and there are hot-hot cucurnbers and tomatoes. The best salad greens for the month are endive, cress, dan delions and chiVeS.
 Oranges and lemons are splendid The grapefruit season is about over. Haven't they been excellent?
 In fish there are shad, salmon. trout, whitefsh, sme1ts and fresh mackerel, all in prime condition. Is there any better fish than fresh
 
 doubt it. In the few weeks in the spring when it is in season we should make the most of it. Lobsters, clans, green turtle and crabs are fine this month.
 By the way, if you are making orange marmalade, try this recipe for orange preserves, which I have fol- lowed with success. It makes a clear preserve:
 Orange MarmaIade.
 Take equal weights of sour oranges and sugar. Peel two oranges in every six and soak these rinds for 24 hours in salt water. Wash and simmer un- til tender, changing the water twice. Drain and cut with scissors into thin strips.
 Cut the oranges into haf-es at the tequator." Take out pulp free from seeds Drain, add sugar, stir until boiling. skim and simmer 15 minutes, add pulp and rind strips and simmer 20 minutes longer.

I was convinced that it was an invitation which he would not refuse since he could never ina zine that it could come from any one but the lady.

A TIP FOR TYPISTS.

Every one extends sym pathy 10 the ''poor working girl" who has to sit all day long in an office with a grum- py, dyspeptic "old boss" Many hard words are used to describe him and great deal of pity wasted on the girl.
 Suppose your boss tells you that the type on your machine" wants cleaning, as the letters you've been writing laely have been blurred and indistinct. Do you take fifteen min utes to clean the type and two hours to manicure your hands afterwards?
 Why not wait until you get home in the evening and then remove the ink stains by washing the dinner dishes for mother?

In making baby bonnets do not at tach the strings to the bonnet, but, in- stead, make buttonholeS at the ends to be attached, then sew a small, fiat button on each side of the cap under heath, where it won't be seen. Thus when the strings become soiled they can be easily removed and Iaun- dered, making it unnecessary to wash the entire cap.

had nothing to do with the cause OF

SUMMER FURS

Summer furs mean death to thous-
ands of animals In thirty years, says
naturalist, the fur-bearing animals
will be gone. Is the pleasure of wear
ing furs in summer worth this sacri-
flee?
In cold weather furs are a legiti-
mate accessory to human clothing.
Were this their only use the existence
of the wild animals whose pelts hui
man beings covet would not be ser
iously threatened But that cruelty
of vanity, which is no less cruel be-
cause unthinking, has caused a
demand for furs which, if unchecked,
will soon extinguish the natural fur
bearers. Summer furs, particularly
useless and the cause Of much humor,
are a less humorous matter to the
wild life struggling for existence.
1t is to be hoped that the fashion OF
wearing furs in summer will soon
pass.-Chicago Daily News.

BEST WAY TO GIVE THE BOY
A CHANCE

With the passing of Boys week
there was much said and writtenNo on
she boy problem. Many things may
be done for boys but above all the
best thing is to give him an education
if he will attend school On this
point Edwin S. Davis, member of the
board of education in Chicago, said.
"Only a pitiful handful of boys
start in business with any special
maining for any industrial career, y
Mr.. Davis said. We've got to give
t6e boy a chance, and the best way to
do it is to see that he gets at least
an adequate education. Our problem is
to get the boy to accept education,

the energy of boyhood cannot realize
the value of education. We must get

MORE PROTECTION
FOR MENDOZA URGED

Construction of piers or breakwat-
ers along the south shore of Lake
Mendoza to furnish adequate protec-
ton for all craft as we'll as harbor
refuge at dangerous periods, is includ-
ed in the safety devices Joseph G.
Steinauer, university swimming coach
will submit to Madison city council
at the next meeting.
The breakwaters are to be 500 to
700 feet from the shore, according to
Mr.. Steinauer's suggestions, which
have been arrived at after conference
with boat house owners and yacht
club members of Lake Mendoza.
This agitation of safety devices
has been the question of the hour af-
ter every drowning, and I want to
see something done this time," said
Mr. Steinauer.
Storm signal towers and ring bUoys
are other devices proposed by Mr..
Steinauer
The small craft of the lake consists
mostly of canoes and rowboats num-
bering IT'S, about 252 of which are
university owned and the remainder,
523 by other boat houses and private
citizens. The figures are approximate
and will become greater as weather
conditions improve.
