The Greater Love A NEW ROMANCE By VIRGINIA TERHUNE VAN
 WATER
CHAPTER XII
A NEW ROMANCE

CHAPTER XII
 Kenneth Lang changed his wet clothing for dry as speedily as he could. His hands shook with ner- vousness. In spite of his protes-a- tions. he was not yet well and strong. and the ordeal of meeting his mother had been somewhat of strain. He also dreaded what might be ahead of him when he and she had time for a confidential talk.
 As he was fastening his tie in front of the mirror there was q knock at his door, and his mother entered.
 q asked where your room was and came to see if you are all right" she announced. closing the door be- hind her.
 T am all right, thank you, and all most ready to go down to supper" he replied.
 His mother sank down upon a chair and watched him as he brushed his hair.
 'Sha certainly is no beauty, is she?' she remarked.
 The man started slightly. "Who?" he asked with feigned ignorance.
 The doctors daughter, of course. was the brisk reply. You know per fectly well whom I mean. I was bit afraid when our host told me that you and his Ruth had gone off for a drive that she might be of the vamp variety. She certainly is not that type"
 "She certainly is not" he agreed .curtly.
 T mean sine could not be if she wanted to-" the clipping tones went on. She is so plain-so dowtly. All that damp hair twisted tightly on 1.1, .sN to her, her skirt hanging wretchedly. These country girls are most unat- tractive."
 Different Opinions
 Any girl would be unattractive who had been wet to the skin and splashed with mud from driving over rough roads for several hours" the man declared.
 He saw his mistake as his mother raised her shapely eyebrows.
 50 you are the champion of this hucolic damsel, are your she oues- toned.
 q am not aware that she needs q champion" he rejoined. T only vol unteered the obvious statement that any one looks rather unkempt under the circumstances in which MISS Grant and l have been this afternoon. Even you" he aded with sudden flash of tact, "who are always per fectiy groomed, would not be as handsome as usual if you had been caught in 8 violent storm"
 "Of course not" His speech had modified her. Every woman needs care and taste to appear at her best. But-some look worse than others do.'
 He would not dispute this state ment. Instead, he changed the sub ject.
 How are you feeling, Mother?" he queried. Are you very tired after your long trip?"
 'Yes, very tired. But I was 50 anxious that I simply had to come to see you. Everything Is so primitive here that I am already missing lux uries to which l am accustomed-my own bathroom, for instance. From the extraordinary woman who show ed me my room I gatheredd that there Is only one bath to the entire es- tablishment.
 No Appreciation
 That Is all" he affirmed coldly.
 Isn't that unthinkable in this en- frightened day" the mother marveled And in the home of physician, too, But he is evidently very ordi- nary person. Estmable in character, I dare say--but uncouth and awk- ward, and shockingly fleshy."
 '.He is most kind.'' the son re- marked He must control his inclina- ton to argue angrily with his mother

FaUorite Recipes
 of Famous Men
By MEDILL MCCORMICK
CU. s. Senator) CORNED BEEF AND CABBAGE

A favorite dish is apt to be very commonplace thing with me. I have thought over all of the things that l have a more than passing regard for and I find that unbiased judg- ment place corned beef and cabbage at the top of my list-or what would be the top if there were list. Boiled venison comes next! As to the origin of these dishes 1 should say, antediluvian.
 There is no point in giving a recipe for these dishes. Recipe con notes mixtures, flayorings. nice measuring, weighing, straining and all the rest of it.
 Corned beef and cabbage unite without aid-flavor is the unfailing concomitant of the union IL is all so ssimple, there Is really nothing to do but wait until the gently per meating odors have driven you quite mad with hunger-then serve the dish.
 As for the boiled yenison I should say much the same thing. Most any one knows how to broil and with broiled venison as with corned beef and cabbage, there comes a time when "our nose knows"

 But for his goodness I would have been sent tc wretched. third-rate hospital where I would have been miserable. It mnst have been a nui- sance to have me here, but if so, Dr. Grant has not let me suspect 1t. Had he been an old friend he could not have done more for me"
 T understand that. Kenneth" the woman of the world rejoined. But do not let your sense of gratitude make you forget that he has made good money by his professional serv- ices to you. also that your board and lodging have brought in pretty penny to the family exchequer."
 T am paying nothing for board and lodging" he interpolated
 That is mistake" his mother af- firmed. But we won't dispute that now. All is well that ends well. By the way, how soon can you get away"
 T want to get away soon" the man said eagerly, T wish I could go tomorrow, but if not 1 must go the next day. That is my desire, and I mean to carry 1t out"
 Ills mother nodded approvingly. T anf glad you feel like that, dear. You are wiser than feared. Hark ] suppose that is the atrocity known as dinner-bell, If you are ready we will go down to supper"
 As they started to leave the room she patted him on the shoulder. Good boy" she smiled

 Kenneth was not deceived by hi, mothers sudden change of mooc from criticism to affability.
 He knew her 20 well that he un. derstood her mental processes. Sh. had been annoyed at his late arrival and to this annoyance had beer added fear lest he was in the com pany of pretty girl to who's, charms he might fall victim.
 The sight of rain-soaked ant sened this fear. Kenneth's evideni desire to get away soon from pr Grants home also did much to allay the mothers anxiety as to the state of affairs between her son and the daughter of the house.

TELLING A DRAWN GARD.

Here is an exceedingly simple little card trick, and yet. if performed with little care, perhaps one of the most mystifying illusions than can be pro duced without great preparation.
 Show an absolutely unprepared pack of cards, and split 1t into two halves. Now take one package in the right hand and the other in the left.
 Secretly note the top card In tho pack that you hold in your left hand. Or, better yet. look at the bottom card of the right hand pack Now, let anyone pick a card from the pack that you hold in your right hand. After this is done, have the card re- placed on top of the pack in your left hand Place the right hand pack on top of the left, and, taking the whole deck in your two hands, look for the card that you noted at the beginning of the trick. The card chosen will be directly next to the known card.

SOLUTION OF CHAPTER |.

Once upon time there lived in q cottage near a great wood man and his wife, whose greatest treas- ure was a little daughter, called by all little Red Riding Hood.
 And not only did father and mother love her so much. but she had dear Granny, who thought no one on earth was so sweet or pretty.
 One summer day Red Riding Hoods mother sent her to Granny with a basket of butter, cakes and eggs. She tied on her pretty red hood and the little maiden started off, while her mother stood at the open window shading her eyes with her hand, watching her little daughter disap- pear into the wood.
