When Wilton was arrested Kitty had
been stunned by the news. She had
made frantic attempts to see him, but
without success
Kitty knew on what the charge was
built, and the consciousness that VII
tons freedom could only be purchased
by her confession caused her an
agony OF shame and fear. Yet she
would have purchased Wilton's free
dom even at the cost of that humflia-
ton, had she not known that she must
inevitably lose him. Instinctively she
realized that treachery was the one
sin that he would never condone.
AT last. when she could bear ii no
longer, she resolved to go to see Bow
yer. She left secretly. at an early hour
one morning. and reached Cold juno

Bowyer went white. Clark had
gagged his limit exactly. The two men

seconds. Then Bowyer capitulated.

of taste and skill manifested by a

may be regarded as to very con-
siderable extent proportioned to it's
culture and refinement In early
times men only were deemed capable
Of handling fire, whether at the
altar or the hearthstone. We read in
the Scriptures that Abraham pre-
pared cakes of fine meal, and calf
tender and good, which, with butter
and milk, he set before the three an
gels in the plains Of Mamre." Iwould
like to call attention to the dignity
of this profession, which some young
women affect to despise. The fact
that angels eat shows that we may
be called upon in the next sphere
to cook even for cherubim and

cultivate ones gift in that direction.

couple of minutes to set the egg, and
mix with the desired ingredients.
Brown Curry Sauce
When making curry from beef,
duck or any dark meat a brown
sauce may be used instead of the
rich, golden variety. This is made
in the usual way, and after the meat
is added, season with curry powder
to taste and set over hot water for
at least five or ten minutes for, the
sauce to "steam in" Half ,cupful
of shredded pineapple to pint of
cream is good addition, and
little cocoanut may be sprinkled
over the top. To vary the curry,
try adding a tablespoonful of chut-
ney or Worcestershire sauce, and
one of the best curries is made with
the addition Of champagne or bot
tied cider as the liquid ingredient.
If you do not have the fresh
cocoanut milk soak a little of the
desiccated cocoanut in plain, rich
milk. This forms very good sub
stitute. Either the fresh or canned
pineapple may be used, and if the
latter add few drops of either
lemon or grapefruit juice to coun-
teract the sweetness.
A bottle of curry powder from a
reliable firm will cost about .35 cents.
and for the ordinary family it will
last six or eight months. This con-
