Margit opened her eyes. Whats
the matter?"
Look"
She looked. He was pointing down
the beach. In the gloom she saw q
figure. 1t was the figure Of an old
man. He was barefooted. He wore
his trouser cuffs turned up. Slung
over his shoulder was a creel. In his
hand was rod. He glanced at them
and then cast. They could hear his
reel whirr. They heard his bait splash.
She looked up at him and smiled.
He won't mind us. He's fishing. That
just about makes the scenery COM
plete, doesn't it? It's-picturesque.
"Keough's always picturesque"
Charlie replied bitterly.
"Keough"
The word broke the spell. One
would have thought that If Margit had
intended to lure on Mr.. Jones in order
to cure Irene, this miraculous appear
ance of Keough would have solved
everything. 1t would have saved her
from the ignominy of sitting on q
beach kissing a cad. And Keough
could have reported to Irene what he
had seen-thus clearly showing that
young lady precisely what sort Of per-
son Mr.. Jones was. One would have
assumed that Margit would have been
delighted at Keough's appearance.
But she wasn't. She realized that
you couldn't go on kissing a person
with your butler fishing all over the
place.
She was sore.
She very nearly wept.
Take me home" she said -.
When Charlie reached his trailer

ing him to call Mrs. BLY,. He went up

that he had not moved away.
Sure" He was smiling at her.

going to be allowed to say to me-
Never, so long as you live. I'll never
say it to you-either. Which is fair
enough"

"Oh."
I've got it bad. Terrible. For
ever and ever"
She stalled-partly against her will
"Suppose-some day. came into
your house and said was crazy about

'Don't-then?"
He shook his head. Nope"
You would!
"Anyway-that problem doesn't exist
at the moment. If you ever get crazy

probably take my six-shOoter out OF
my bureau. ring his door bell, and
make a sieve out of him."
oh"
He started to kiss her again. She
started to edge away along the sand.
But he caught up with her.
Ten minutes later she realized that
she was holding his face in both her
hands-and kissing him.
She was terrified.
1 don't matter, she told herself
fiercely. It's all for Irene's sake. I
can sacrifice myself. 1t won't mean
anything.
But that wasn't what frightened her

in it.

strongly. Look" he muttered. I'VE

She didn't say anything.
He kissed her again.
Finally. abruptly, he sat up

and many of them had had the
temerity to try to kiss her.
A gallant kiss on the hand.
Or fugitive effort in a taxicab.
Hitherto, Margit had instantly dis
couraged such attempts. Hitherto,
also, If any escort so much as sug-
gested that they have glass of wine

and thereafter crossed that person OF
her list. She allowed Mr.. Jones to

thought were two reasons: The situa-
ton which she had undertaken to re-
solve demanded considerable latitude.
and secondly, she could scarcely renege
on her brilliant scheme without spoil
ing it.
1t proved, however, that Mr.. Jones
was no mere hand-osculator or cheek
pecker. He kissed her full on the
mouth, emphatically, urgently, and
without any especial inhibition.

That, somehow, altered conditions.
She hadn't reckoned on the fact that
he would take her hand. Her whole

OF celery chiefly as crunchy ac-

stalks with cheese for company
occasions. However, she points
out that celery has a fine flavor

when cooked and cooking provides
a good way to salvage the less
attractive outer stalks. The tex
ture will be changed by the cook
ing.
To cook celery, after washing
and trimming it, cut into half
inch pieces. Use as little water
as possible in boiling and, when
the celery is done, save the liquid
for a sauce or to put into a soup
to give celery flavor. AS with
mot vegetables, some of the food
value is lost in the cooking water
unless it is used, also. The cook
ed celery pieces may be served
in a white sauce if this is prefer
red. or in thickened tomato juice.
Celery leaves can be chopped
fine and put into meat or salmon

Loss BY FOREST
FIRES ESTIMATED
Values in State Placed at
$49,431; 1904 Acres
Burned

There were 1880 forest fires in
Maryland reported in 1886, which
burned over 1904 acres of land
and caused a loss of $49,431 in
property values according to C.
F. Winslow, University of Mary
land forester. In addition, he
states, these fires cost $4,749 to
suppress.
Most of the fires were caused
by careless smoking, but careless
debris burners, railroad operations
and incendiarists were responsible
for almost as many. All but three
fires that were caused by light
ming were caused by man and
could have been prevented if prop
er care and precaution had been
observed.
For the preservation of forests
and the prevention of fires, the
following rules should be carried
out Do not throw lighted match
es or burning smoking materials
into dry grass or leaves; do not
build camp fires in wooded areas
during dry weather when the
wind is high; do not leave camp
fires burning throw water on the
fire and mix it through the ashes
with a silk, or cover the fire with
dirt; and do not burn grass fields
or debris during windy weather.
1t is a good precaution to start
sun fires after three P. NJ, and
burn against the wind; also to
have a sufficient number of men
