protest. But Pat didn't give her
time. She raved on:

with sobs.

Baked Liver.

Cut one-eighth pound of fat salt pork
into narrow strips. Insert these into
the top surface of one and one-half
pounds of beef, pork, or lamb livers,
preferably with a larding needle. Place
the liver in deep baking dish or cas-
serole, sprinkle with salt and pepper,
add one cupful of sour cream, and bake
in fairly slow oven until the meat is
tender. Beef liver would take the long
est time to cook. about an hour or
longer. When done. remove the liver
and make a gravy with the cream and
juice in the dish. Use stock or water
10 thin if necessary. Season with salt,
pepper, few drops of onion Juice, and
half a tablespoonful of table sauce.
Serve the liver on large platter with
border of mashed potatoes or steamed
rice. Cooking in sour cream gives the
liver rich. tender and juicy texture.

There has been considerable contro-

from Mr.. Millner that these were the
admirals words.

Today the old war craft rests from
its labors at Charleston, S. C. Mr.. Mill

GARDENS in ROMANCE
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS.

Perhaps Shakespeare had just

when he wrote Oberon's pretty speech
II know bank where the Wild thyme
blows.
Where oxlips and the nodding violet
grows:
Quite over-canopied with luscious wood
bine,
With sweet musk-roses and with
eglantine."
In "a Winters Tale" Perdita brings
from the garden to the guests at the
strengthening the flowers suited to
their time of life:
Reverend sirs.
For you there's rosemary and rue;
these keep
Seeming and SAVIOR. all the Winter long;
Grace and remembrance be to you both,
And welcome to our shearing."
To others she offers
Hot lavender, minis. savory, marjoram;
The marigold, that goes to bed with
the sun,
And with him rises weeping; these are
Of middle Summer, and I think they
are given
To men of middle age"
For the youths, particularly for the
enamored Florizel, she wishes that she
had
"Daffodils,
That come before the swallow dares,
and take
The winds of March with beauty; vio-
let's dim,
But sweeter than the lids of Juno's eyes,
Or Cytherea's breath"
After the terrible change in Hamlet
and the violent death of her father,
poor, mad Ophelia wanders aimlessly
through the garden and gathers some of
its flowers: There's rosemary, that's
for remembrance; pray, love. remem-
Der; and there is pansies that's for
thoughts. There's fennel for you, and
columbines; there's rue for you, and
here's some for me--we may call 1t
herb-grace o. Sundays. There's daisy.
l would give you some violets. but they
withered all, when my father died"
Mrs. Browning is perhaps expressing
her own thought in the person of Aurora
Leigh when she says:
Italy is one thing, England one. On
English ground
You understand the letter ere
the TALL
How Adam liven in a garden. All the
fields
Are tied up fast with hedges, nosegay-
like;
The hills are crumpled plains-the
plains parterres.
The trees round, woolly, ready to be
clipped.
And if you seek for any wilderness
You find, at best, park
In this garden-land of England, and
in the garden of their aunt's home,
Aurora and her cousin, Romney Leigh,
walked and talked in the companion
ship that was later to grow into lasting
love-
Tennyson'S young lovers are separated
by tyrannical brother. SO it's
Come into the garden, Maud,
I am here at the gate alone:
And the woodbine spices are waited
abroad,
And the musk of the rose is blown"
And the lovely garden witnesses the
tragic ending to the romance, in the
duel which takes the brothers life.
The artists friend takes him to see
''The Gardeners Daughter:

For tulips; then for roses, moss or

To grace my city rooms. The daughters

One after one, thro' all that garden

Each garlanded with her peculiar

Danced into light, and died into the

And each in passing touch'd with some

came back after a while with 300 dinars
quite large sum of money, indeed
Then the men addressed me, fearlessly
Know, oh our lord, the Wall, that il
is in your power to do even more than
disgrace and punish US. But this will
bring you nothing in return--nothing
except fatigue. So it is our opinion
that you would do much better to take
this monye and protect us-for Almighty
Allah is called the Protector and he
loves those of his servants who protect
their Moslem neighbors. So in this
way you will receive your reward in
this world. and also suitable recon-
pense in the world to come"
Whereupon I said to myself, 81 will
take the enemy and give them pro-
lection once. But, if ever again
have them in my power, swear shall
wreak proper vengeance on them for
their misdeeds." For, you see, I was
money.
So I accepted the bride and went
away, thinking that no one would ever
be the wiser. But I was not entirely
right in this, as will be seen.
The next day, suddenly, one of the
Kazi's messengers came to me and
said:
"Oh. Wall, be so good as to answer
the summons of the Kazi, who wants
to see you Immediately
So I arose and accompanied him
knowing not what to think of this
sudden summons. When came into
the presence of the Kazi, or Judge,
saw the two witnesses and the master
of the house-the three who had given
me the money-all sitting there by the
side of the magistrate.
The man rose and sued me in court
for 300 dinarS, nor was it in my power
to deny the debt. For he produced 9
written obligation and his two com.
panions, the regular legal witnesses oil
the court, testified against me that
truly owed the amount.
Their evidence satisfied the Kazi ane
he ordered me to pay over the sum o.
300 dinars to these three rogues MOI
did I leave the court until I had done
so--paying back to them the same
money with which they had bribed mi
the day before.
So went away, filled with shame
and choked with wrath. I vowed mis-
chief and vengeance against them, re-
penting that had not punished then
when had them in my grasp. This

event that ever happened to me during
