CHAPTER w

Nicely knew just enough about the
profession of teaching to know that
she knew shockingly little about it;
and her dread, therefore, of the coun-
ty superintendent impending visit
to her school was sword over her
head.
"If l only knew what he expects
Cor hopes) to find me doing when
he comes, I'd be doing 1T or making
bluff at doing It'll"
She knew that to professional
teacher her methods must seem gro
tesquely unprofessional, being based
on the same principle as that by
which she lived most of her life-or
tried to-; that principle being the I'M
perative need to extract all the enter
tainment possible from any situation
in which you found yourself. So she
worked really very hard to make her
days in her schoolroom yield enter
tainment, first to herself, and second
ly to forty rather bucolic children OF
all ages and sects (Amish, New and
Old Mennonites, Dunkards) who filled
her school. A few vigorous and tire.
some hours were devoted to drilling
in geography, multiplication tables
grammar, spelling (she suspected that
the way she did that drilling would
have made any real pedagogue shud
der) and the rest of the time was de-
lightfully spent in teaching what she
not the school trustees, thought chill
dren ought to know-fairy stories
poems, plays.

management Of the mines and the
way the miners families have been
housed and paid. And at times of
strikes he'd howl round at sight Of
the women and children looking
starved. And just recently, when a
miner who'd worked for us fer twenty
years was killed and his widow and
children had TO vacate their cottage,
Marvin raised hi! Wanted her pen
stoned; wanted Father to give her
the house she'd lived in for twenty
years; wanted him to educate her
children-all softs of things that would
have established the worst sort OF
precedent" st. Croix paused, realiz-
ing he was using words beyond her
range.
But she answered, do you call the
Golden Rule in business the worst sort
Of"
She, in her turn, stopped short-and
hastily changed the subject. "But
guess your brother'll soon have to find
another boarding place, for Absalom's
soon moving to town. So, then, when
Absalom moves, mebby the new farm
hand Pop HAIRS won't take your brother
to board. And mebby," said Nicely
suddenly, my Pop might take him!
Say, wouldn't that be scream, Mr..
Creighton"
st. Crolx privately decided that In
the face Of such contingency his
only prudent course would be to put
an end to these sweet secret meet
ings with Nicely; for the Creighton
family had learned to their cost that
Marvin's eccentric conscience was
thing to be reckoned with.
But even as he came to this deci.
sion he realized that it could not be
done. He could not give up this girl.
At whatever cost short of marrying
her Chat, of course, an impossibility)
he would have her; and the cost, in
view of his present delicate position
in relation to his English cousin,
might prove high indeed! But he
would pay it rather than give her up!
He was not used to giving up things.
His self-control was flabby from lack
Of exercise.
| 1t never occurred to him that when
he was quite ready to take the girl
| she would not readily come to him.
Had he all along supposed her to be
a "virtuous" maiden, he would not,
| at this moment, be here in this spot
with her. But although he was not
| a despoiler of virtue, man without
heart or conscience, he certainly was
not above accepting such gifts Of life
as the gods vouchsafed to him.
St. Croix' conscience, though not
troubled as to his relation with Nicely,
was by no means at peace when he
thought Of the cousin whom he hoped
to marry. He sentimentally felt that
to go to his bride straight from love
affair with common" girl like Nicely
would be to wrong her (not Nicely
but the bride) and the struggle that
went on in his soul between his ideal
of what the bridegroom Of a high-born
and immaculate lady should be and his
compelling infatuation for the farm
girl was at times bitter and devas-
tating.
But there was never any real doubt
| in his mind as to which side in that
struggle would win.

Cradles, in their earliest form, were
merely logs, scooped out to form more
or less comfortable resting places for
babies. They were without rockers
since the natural shape of the logs
made their use unnecessary. Cradles
have varied with different modes OF
living and reflect in their diversity OF
form and adornment the progress OF
the cabinetmaker's art The Romans
are said to have used cradles OF con-
siderable refinement, but after the de-
cline of the empire, accompanied as
II was with the decay Of living, the
cradle. with other furniture forms, as
sumed a crude and humble aspect.
One of the early forms Of the cradle
was the oaken chest without LID.
Baskets of osiers were sometimes
used, in which the child, wrapped In
swaddling clothes, was placed. The
American cradle of oak in the Metro
politan museum in New York dates
from the early Seventeenth century

ARTICHOKES ARE
BAKED OR BOILED
In Food Value Tubers Are
Quite Similar to Potato.

PREPARED by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In many localities Jerusalem arti-
chokes grow abundantly when once
started in the garden. Their culture
Is like that of corn, and they are dug
by hand. In food value the United
States Department Of Agriculture says
they are similar to the potato. They,
however, contain inulin, which is con-
verified in the body into levulose or
fruit sugar, and they are oftentimes
recommended for diabetes. They
have a delicious flavor of their own
when properly cooked.
As these tubers are irregular In
shape they are tedious to prepare for
the table, as they must be scraped or
pared. A better way is to scrub them
well with stiff brush and then bake
or boil them in their skins.
When they have been baked, they
may be served in their skins and eat
en- with butter, salt and pepper, or
they may be scraped out, mashed, sea-
soned, and then served. Boiled Jeru-
salem artichokes are easily peeled aft
er cooking. They may be served
whole or sliced, with butter and sea-
soning. A little lemon juice or nut
meg is suggested by way of flavoring,
If liked. The boiled vegetable may
also be served in cream or other we'll
seasoned sauce. 1t may be baked in
cream sauce with a sprinkling of graf
ed cheese; or fried with chopped leeks,
celery tops, or parsley in little but
ter, adding white sauce later, if de-
sired.
If the tubers are pared before boil
Ing, they should be thinly sliced, very
little water should be used, and il
should be boiled down almost dry at
the close. Small tubers may cook in
Is to 20 minutes. The flavor is much
enhanced by cooking in milk or in a
good meat broth.
Another way Of cooking them after
pairing is to place them in a baking
dish or casserole, either whole or
sliced, cover closely and bake in q
slow oven until done, or about one.
half to one hour. The cover of the
baking dish may need to be removed
toward the close to dry out excess
moisture. Season with butter, salt
and peppeA Add grated cheese OF
buttered crumbs or both, when liked

Times Passage Not
Reckoned in Hours

An English astronomer has adj
vanced the thought that "time does
not, in fact, exist" 1t is rather diff
cult for the human mind to compre-
bend such a theory, says Thrift Maya
zine.
Longfellow, in 1.-THE Hyperion"
asked the question: "What Is timer"
and answered 1t in this manner: "The
shadow on the dial, the running of the
sand-day and night, summer and win
ter, months, years, centuries; these
are but arbitrary and outward signs,
the measure Of time, not time itself.
Time is the life of the SOUL
The theory that time "does not
pass" or, as men say, ely" is not a
new one. There Is in an ancient
graveyard in New York tombstone
containing these lines:
Time flies, tits said,
Nay gossip, say not soc,
Time stays, we goe.
Nathaniel Hawthorne, In the MAR
BILE Faun," wrote: "Time flies over US
but leaves its shadow behind"

Leftover Meat Served
in Guise of Beef Roll

Leftover meat need not always

vegetable or a salad the main part of
the meal is provided for. The sug-

A young bird of any kind, after a
little parboiling as above, will, If

a few stalks Of celery is placed inside,

found especially appetizing.
One housewife who was fortunate

with sliced oranges as salad. Serve
them In overlapping slices, covered

Finely shredded cabbage, covered

ton awaits his sweetheart at
their trysting place. She Is late,
this ordinary little Pennsylvania
Dutch girl, Nicely Schwenckton.
Despite her seeming innocence
and ignorance, she succeeds In
keeping him at distance, to
his chagrin. Nicely, in the
Schwenckton home, where she is
boarding, is altogether unlike
the girl who meets st. Croix
clandestinely. She Is the teacher
In the neighborhood school, OF
which Marvin Creighton, st.
Croix' brother, is superintendent.
Nicely learns that Marvin was to
have married his cousin, a titled
English lady, but, believing she
was attracted by the Creighton
wealth, had refused the alliance.
1t Is the rumor that st. Croix Is
to take Marvin's place and marry
the English girl. st. Croix' jeal-
ousy Is aroused by Meely's report
of an aged sutton for her hand.
