Smoked Baked Ham
Hams are uow smoked in imitation of
the Maryland anil Old Dominion states
style so that "Any little ham, that's a
nice ham is the right little ham for me"
might be sung by the most persnickety
cook.
We choose little hams for baking and
boiling because they are from young
porkers and usually quite tender. Iji
choosing one can tell from the size of
the projecting end bone about the size
of the animal it was taken from. The
larger this bone is the more waste there
will be in the ham.
Place the ham in enough water to
cover it nnd let it stand over night;
in the morning scrape and scrub the
outside nnd rinse well. Parboil for one
hour, when the skin can be easily re
moved. Now stick whole cloves over
the ham until it is well dotted with
them. Mix cinuanion and pepper to
gether and place in a shaker and dredge
over it. Place in the baking pan and
pour a cup of maple svrup over all and
bake slowly until done. Remove the
cloves before serving.
The "best" ways of cooking hams
are as numerous as the stars in thn
heavens: every woman artrts some spe
cial touch to please her family's tastes.
On the farm hams are soaked over night
in sweet cider anil then boiled in the
same liquid with spices added. Tne
grease is skimmed as fast as it rises
and when done the ham is dredged with
flour and well browned in a hot oven.
There is no finer way than this.
One of the nicest things nbout a
ham is the number of tasty combina

(tions one can make from the cold meat
remaining. The cold slices are fine for
luncheon and they can be heated with
eggs in just a moment's time. A few
tablespoons of ham minced gives rich
ness and flavor to a big dish of rice or
macaroni. Potato cakes lose their in
, sipidity nnd become a dish worth while
if a tablespoon or two of chopped ham
be added.
And last, but not least, there remains
the ham-bone itself. No one ever
! throws away a ham bone without first
making ham and —well ham and some
! thing. Germans add dried apples and
; small egg dumplings to the bone in its
, boiling liquid and produce a spicy dish
they like well. Other cooks boil maca
roni or noodles in the strained clear
liquid the ham was first boiled in,adding
she bone to give more flavor. But the
Irish declare that a liam bone belongs
jby right to the cabbage and after a
baked or boiled ham is trimmed down
to the bone the latter is crackled and
1 cabbage is hoilecj with it.

With blanched cheeks Rose Middle

she asked painfully.
The other turned Indignantly.
"Am I 'ls wife?" she echoed. "Oo's

ed away, sick and giddy. With an
oath Count l.uco tor;» himself from the
clinging arms «.»f the self declared
wife and sprang to the driving seat
of the automobile. As the car jumped
away a gentleman strolled from the
inn and Rose looked at him with pa
tbetlc appeal.
"Ix>rd Weston—please, oh. piease,
take me away from here!" she sobbed,
as, recognizing her. he stepped quickly
forward.
"Come in. my dear." he said gently,
and led her into the Red Lion.
A half hour later, white faced but
calm. Rose was waiting in a private
sitting room of the inu. Lord Weston
had promised to take her back to Lon
don, and she had already heard the
sound of his motor. Lord Weston him
self was at this moment engaged in
expressing his thanks to Miss Mazie
Conquest of the Gayety chorus and
slipping into her band a twenty pound
note.
"La, Lord Weston. I'd 'a' been glad
to do it for you." Miss Mazie declared
heartily. "Not but what the pony
won't be handy," she added frankly as
she fucked the note Into her breast.
Shortly after Lord Weston rapped
at the door of Rose's sitting room and
entered smiling. The girl regarded
him gravely.
"There is something about this I do
not understand. Lord Weston." she
said quietly. "There was motive be
hind the chauffeur's action in bringing
me here. Why did he do it ?"
"By so doing he saved you from
much sadness, little girl," Ixtrd Weston
replied, and Mm girl nodded.
"I know, and I am gratefnl—but
why? Tell me If you know," she In
sisted. and he told her.
"And he did this because he was my
fathers friend," the girl said softly
when she had been told the truth, with
* slight deviation to account for the
»pportuue appearance of the woman
ihe still supposed to be the count's
wife. "He must be like my father.
You say he lives near—will you not
Uke me to him that 1 may thank him
nnd tell him that if I may I will love
bim as I did my father?"
And when, presently, she did so,
with syeet gravity. Lord Cecil's heart
threw wide its gatea as to a weary
child.
CHAPTER 11.
An Untarnished Shield.
HENRY LORD CECIL, eight
eenth Earl of Swart b more,
frowned with annoyance as
he reread the note from Lord
W eston.
My dear chap." the missive ran,
"haven't you had enough of Croftlatgh
for awhile? Do run up to town for a
day or so at least Just so that I may
get a little relief from the lovely ladles
who torment me with inquiries about
you when I want them to at least pre
tend in interest in me. Several shows
thut are not at all bad. By the way.
for a younsrster Rodney seeins to be
doing wonderful execution. It is the
talk of the club the manner in which
Mile. Daala of the Gayety has taken
him up. But this la probably bo mwi
to yon. Ytetter run up and bring back
the smiles to the fair fat es of Lndy F.
and the Duchess of B."
"It isn't like Weston to gossip, y'
know," Cecil commented aloud and
took a restless turn about the old li
brary. "The boy must be getting In no
end of a mess, by Jove.", he added de
cisively. "Mile. Dnzla Is nsln" him.
and I'd give something to know for
what. Just what use to her could he
ber
A half hour's pondering brought no
solution, and. with a gesture of Impa
tience. Lord Cecil pulled the boll cord.
"You may pack—for town. James."
Lord Cecil Informed him. "We will
catch the morning mail at Ferncliff."
The possibilities suggested by Lord
Weston's communication were in truth
disturbing. Mile. Dnzla was a person
of international reputation, concerning
whom much was known, hut much
more unknown. Of only ordinary bean
ty, with an inconsequential voice and
indifferent ability as a dancer, she nev
ertheless had In the brief years since
she emerged from obscurity
to blase a rocket like course across the
skies of Europe, set n half dozen capt.
tals by the ears and was just now the
particular sensation of London. It was
entirely out of character for Mile. Da
zla to single out from the numbers of
rank and wealth who clamored for
recognition a youthful soldier with an
allowance not equaling in a year what
any one of a score of lier slaves would
spend on "souvenirs" for a dinner
graced by her presence.
Besides Lord Cecil, his younger
brother. Rodney, less than a year out
of Sandhurst and now on duty while
awaiting assignment to a line reiriment
as ald-de-camp at the war office, was
the only surviving niemher of his an
cient line. An orphan since childhood,
Rodney had been in Cecil's eyes more
a son than a younger brother, and
there had been lavished upon him an
aflfection quite equal to that ever given
by a father.
With the superb esotlsm of youth
Rodney accepted his favoritism at the
actress' court and ever demanded
more. It was his first affair, and un
der the spell of her perfect arts he had
already become fairly mad.
"Corlnna. you will drive me insane,"
he cried wildly on one occasion. He
covered his white face with shaking
hands.
"It Is enough." she thought "The
young fool will be killing himself on
my rug in a few minutes, and that
would be inconvenient."
"Almost I believe that you do love
me." she whispered to him. "and yet
words Rre easy to say. and 1 have seen
upon the stage as convincing agonies.
I—l would you could prove it to me."
she added softly.
"I will prove it. What proof do you
demand?" the boy asked, with the
light of hope returning to his face.
"I will make it not hard for you.
Oh. a little thing!"_ she said. "Listen.
Among the jewels which my good
friends have given me there Is no black
l>enrl, and I do so desire a black pearl.
This. then, is a task for you, such as
ladles of old set for their knights.
Bring me tomorrow the black pearl
called Night Rose, which old Yon Ha
gen Is known to have, and you shall
know happiness." „
"I will get the pearl," the boy mut
tered nnd stumbled from the room.
Corlnna yawped, crossed the apart
ment and aside a heavv cortaln.
"I think my part is done. Baron
Stronverg." she said.
"And very well done, my child."
Stronverg said admiringly. "He will
go directly to Von Hagen's shop, you
think?"
'Tndoubtedly."
"Then I had best follow." the baron
said.
Although It was well past midnight
when Rodney rushed Impulsively from
the actress' Insurious apnrtment, he
proceeded directly to the quaint little
shop of the Jewel collector. Von Ha
gen.
A light burned in the Jeweler's shop,
and the old man did not appear to re
gard It as strange that a customer
should choose such an hour for a call.
He merely looked up Inquiringly from
the tray of unset stones which he was
examining.
"You have a black pearl called Night
Rose?" Rodney demanded.
The Jeweler nodded.
"I have that pearl, and it la for sals.
Ifs price Is £20,000." he said indiffer
ently.
For a moment the boy was stricken
dmnb. So she had made a Jest of him.
As well might she have told him to
bring the very crown. To purchase
this penrl would strain the resources of
the diminished family estate, let alone
his scanty nllownnce.
With subconscious caution Rodney
glanced through the window at the de
serted street. The man was old, a
swift leap-
As though reading his thoughts be
fore they were even shaped Into con
crete form Von Hagen slightly shifted
his position, and Rodney saw that In
hfs hand was a heavy automatic re
volver.
