gone very slowly, carrying this heavy
weight They had stopped frequently
to rest and had laid their burden
down. Then suddenly he came to a
place where plainly u longer halt had
been made.
The ground was tramrled around
this spot; when the tracks went on
they were changed in character. The
two men were still carrying the third
"a heavy man whose weight strained
them and made their feet sink in
deeply where the ground was soft.
But now they were not careful how
they carried him. but went forward
merely as though bearing n ucad
weight. Now, too. no more stains ap-
peared on the brown leaves where
they had passed; their burden no
longer bled. Eaton, realizing what
this meant. felt neither exultation
nor surprise. He had known that the
man they carried, though evidently
alive when taken from the car, was
dying But now he watched the tracks
more closely even than before, look
ing for them TO show him where the
men had got rid of their burden.
1t was quite plain what had oc-

her father answered quietly.
And so she took It with her. she
found n servant OF whom she inquired
for Avery; he had not returned so
she sent for him. She went down to
the deserted library and waited there
with the picture of Hugh in her hand.
The day had drawn TO dusk. she
could no longer see the picture In the
fading light; she could only recall II ;
and now. as she recalled II, the pic
ture itself-not her memory OF her
fathers manner in relation TO 1t
gave her vague discomfort. She got
up suddenly, switched on the light
and, holding the picture close to 1t,
studied II. What 1t was in the pic
ture that gave her this strange un-
easiness quite separate and distinct
from all that she had felt when she
first looked at It. she could not tell !;
but the more she studied 1t, the more

did not know what they meant or If
they had any real significance, but
somehow now she was more afraid
for Hugh than she had been. She
trembled as she held the picture again
to her cheek and then to her lips.
She turned; some one had come in
from the hall; 1t was Donald. She
saw at her first glance at him that his
search had not yet succeeded and she
threw her head back In relief. See
ing the light, he had looked into the
library idly; but when he saw her,
he approached her quickly.

Dedicates Monument
To Famous Cook


Munster. Oct. IA. p. by Mail)--
Every school girl and every woman
In Germany knows the name of Hen
riette Dovidis, but 1t was not until
recently that the government Official
ly acknowledged her as one Of the
country's henefactors. Numerous
monuments to the memory of Empress
Victoria, Queen Louise and Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria, the former Kaiser's
late wife, have been erected in Berlin,
Hamburg and other centers but in
the old days the government never
gave Henrietta Davidis even a pass.
ing thought-Henriette came from
very humble parentage, and it is said
she did not care snap about royalty
and pomp and ceremony, and "wast-
ing her time running up to Berlin to
see what the city folks were doing"
Instead, she devoted her efforts to-
ward the education Of young women,
and compilation of cook book which
was her chief aim in life.
Henriette Davidis began her cook
Ing experiments about q hundred
years ago at her parents home in
Wengern near Witten on the Ruhr.
As a girl she became famous locally
for her cookeries and the people often
came for miles for a taste of her
home made bread and cakes. And
in those days when there was an en-
tertainment in the neighborhood
word was always passed around that
Henriette Davidis' dishes were to be
a feature Of the event.
Henriette did all her cooking in an
old fashioned kitchen with it's great
brick stove with enormous stone
nj tot ~ -
minister and there were frequent
guests at the house. and when a par
ticularly tempting dish was prepared,
and liked, she made notes and in
years to come 1t was the publication
of these recipes in book form which
gave her fame throughout Germany.
Plain substantial cooking was Hen
riette's forte, but her cakes and pas
tries are known today by nearly
every housewife in the land.
Henrietta died in 1876. Some time
ago the weather beaten frame house
of the Davidis family-the house
with the old fashioned kitchen where
Henrietta had perfected her culinary
art-was torn down to make way for
railroad tracks which ran through
the front yard of the old Davidis
place
Before the work of demolishing the
house had been completed the local
population took steps to preserve the
ancient stone chimney of the Davidis
home in remembrance of Wengern's
most distinguished citizen. The Ber-
lin government was appealed to. and
as the chimney is upon state proper
ty official recognition of Henrictte's
services have been taken. Orders
have gone out that the stones must
remain intact and that the chimney
is to stand always as monument
to the memory of Henrietta Davidis
who was too busy with her cook
book to even think of marriage-with
a bronze plaque telling of her
achievements and "of her services to
mankind"

Sports For Women

Among the best of the outdoor
sports for women are swimming,
walking and canoeing. Swimming is
one of the very best of all body
builders and health preservers-in
fact, I should pick it above all
others if I were to make a choice of
Just one thing. 1t develops every
muscle of the body increases the
lung capacity. keeps the skin in good
condition and strengthens the heart
and other organs. But swimming
must be on your guard that you
leave the water in such good season
that you will not feel fatigued after
you have dressed. Cold water is
stimulating and sometimes You do
not realize until YOU get out how
much you are really fatigued. Con-
struction of indoor pools Is going on
so rapidly that swimming is now
available to many women as an all
year sport
Canoeing is a fine sport. Padding
develops the muscles of the trunk
and arms and in the nature of
things, canoeing has to be done
where the air is pure.
Walking l highly recommend and I
feel safe in saving that not one
of it. Any kind of a walk is. bene-
fetal, as it means exercise in the
open air. I believe. however. that a
hike into the country or. through a
park is much better than city walk
ing. for it adds to the benefits of the
exercise itself those of getting away
from the dust and foul air of the
crowded streets. Furthermore. you
will dress more comfortably, and
sensibly for a hike than for a prom
enade and consequently will get
more from 1T: exercise Of any kind
in tight clothes and improper shoes
doesn't begin to do the good that It
would do If the costume allowed
greater freedom. 1t is good plan
to have destination even when

An editor is known by his readers
to be absolutely. misinformed on
subjects in which they disagree WITH
him; and the average reader is
doubtless entitled to his doubts many
times. but it remains apparently for
the city salesman to really demon
stratc, in almost brutal fashion. the
completeness of the editorial mental
density.
Having had occasion the past three
months to purchase a great variety
or office building supplies, this hith-
crto unsuspected condition has been
cffectually demonstrated in my own
case.
The first disillusion came with the
salesman who represented letter
filing cases. Having stated our re-
quirements, in terms OF approximate
number of letters daily, the young
man looked wise, considered a min

Sen. WadsWorth
Sees No Occasion
For Statement Now

Il don't see any demand for me to
say anything" is the answer which
Senator Herbert E. Wadsworth of
winthrop, gave a Journal reporter,
Saturday morning when he was
queried relative to an article in the
Portland Evening Express of Thurs
day in regard to Mr.. Wadsworth be-
ing suggested as nominee for Gov
ernor.
II haven't made any talk about it.
although very few people have said
something about it, but I have not
considered that in a serious light"
Mr.. Wadsworth said he had no idea
who was the instigator of that half
column of publicity, in the Portland
paper which was as follows:
while the Republican party in
Maine is looking about for a candi-
date for Governor, it will make a
mistake if it does not consider the
availability of Senator Herbert r.
Wadsworth of Winthrop as possible
nominee" remarked a we'll known
leader of the party to the Express
today.
II don't know that Senator Wads-
worth has ever thought that he
would like to he Governor" said this
man, land 1 am not sure that he
would consider entering a contest for
the nominal ton. but I have mention
ed his name in connection with the
nomination to a number of pron,i-
nent members of our party within
the past few days and in every case
I found that the suggestion struck
them favorably.
HE is clean. he is square and he
has fhn ability n adm
He has never been mixed up with
any of the controversies and facti )nal
difficulties which might impair q
availability of some of those who
have been mentioned in connection
with the nomination. He is as clear
OF anything of that sort as if he had
never been heard of in public way:
This in no wise means that he is a
trimmer for in the two wears that he
has been a member of the Legislature
he has shown that he has the cour: &c
of his convictions and is aoady to
take a pronounced stand on any
question when he thinks that he, is
right. In my opinion he would make
an ideal Governor and as strong a
candidate as we could nominate"
Senator Wadsworth is manufac-
turer and is the head of an extensive
business in winthrop. His first en-
try into public life was three years
ago when he was chosen to represent
the Winthrop class in the House of
Representatives. The following year
he became a candidate for the State
Senate and won out readily in a
contest, leading all other candida les
for the nomination. except Sen ator
harrington who was slated for the
Senate presidency. He was chairman
of the committee on manufacture and
n member of the important commit
tee on financial affairs He took Il
leading part in legislative affairs
and was generally looked upon as one
of the big men of the Senate.

College and one of the trustees of
