a
LOVE IN
A COTTAGE
By
ELLEN ADAIR
ill nV&jfra 1
Marriage and the LittleTh
The joys of love In a cottage have for
ages been held up us absurd and oven
Jnsihlcal- "When poverty comes In nt
the door" begins tha cynic solemnly,
''then you know what happens to Cupid."'
But just why1 Cupid rhould fly out of
the window on the entrance of hard times
surprises me exceedingly. If ho was a
genuine Cupid, would ho not stay nnd
sot to work hard to make matters right
again? The right sort of Cupid docs do
this, t am sure of It
Love In a cottago or to bo mora ac
curate In a cute little apartment house,
can Surely bo made very attractive. For
after nil, happiness In life cannot be
bought with money, Conversely, If there
Is little money, there may still bo a great
deal of happiness.
I am convinced that many a wealthy
woman today would bo Infinitely happier
If sho were living In some quiet little
home away from tho rush nnd vexation
and the eternal striving of social life.
''If wo lived In a tiny little houso on a
liny little Income, then1! would have my
husband and my homo all to myself," de
clared such a one pathetically. "But as
It Is, my thousand-and-one social engage
ments take mo ono road, white his. thousand-and-one
business engagements tako
him another. "Wo scarcely over see each
other nowadays."
Many husbands and wives who ,oro to
Say the owpora of magnificent homes look
back with a keen regret to the old happy
days when they stalled housekeeping In
a. home no bigger or grander than tho
proverbial cottage.
For after all, It Is the llttlo things of
Hfo that really bring content and 'happi
ness. I think that so many people now
adays have no time for happiness. They
are "rushed" from morning to night. In
spite ot their wealth and luxurious homes,
they aro really carrying tho burden and
heat of the day.
"I wish wo were back to tho old times
when I was the very light of my hus
band's eyes, and wo were poor, and hap
py, and together," said the wife of a
millionaire, recently. "I Just can't keep
up with these new, grand ways, and theso
haughty visitors who swarm everywhere
In tho house, and tho army of haughty
servants I am supposed to manage. Man
age, Indeed 1 Why, I'm positively afraid
of them! And my 'husband doesn't be
long to mo any more. His time Is taken
up with a million affairs. I am really
very lonely!"
It is too often tho caso that wealth only
causes tho husband to "grow away" from
his wife. For whllo ho Is working his
way up In the world, meeting clever peo
ple, learning new things dally, and edu
cating himself ti held a high ppsltion,
his wife Is working In tho homo, and Is
getting few opportunities for culture. S

I GUESS I've got that fairy business
settled for once!" exclaimed Jack
Frost, as ho looked out over tho Ice
covered lake, "I'm sick of fairies, any
way, and I've frozen them all up!" He
laughed an ley laugh and blow around
over the Ice to bo sure there were no
stray fairies around.
"What you dolng7" asked Mr. North
Wind, who happened to como by Just
then.
"I'm being; sure that I've frozen all
tho fairies!" answered Jack Frost. "Do
you see any around?"
Mr. North Wind looked ovor the ice
covered Jake, "No fairy could live on
lco like thlal" he exclaimed, "you very
well know that. Jack Frost, but why
do you hate tho fairies so? They never

"That's all you know about ltl" an

"Soro-o!" exclaimed Mr. North Wind,
"and how do- they hurt you?"
"You'd know well enough If you'd atop

tarts the flowers to growing? Who

the south breezes back from. the south

Who urges you to tako a summer vaca

Mr. North Wind looked sheepish. "Of

ings That Bring Happiness
finally It often happens that after tho
goat has been reached, and great finan
cial means nnd n high ' position are at
tained, tho wife Is quite unable to copo
with the situation, mfd matrimonial un
happiness creeps In to mar enjoyment ot
what has been. achieved.
Although' love lit a cottage has been
sneered at and ,sconned, It, Is a very true
sort of lovo all tho'samc, nnd tho envy
of many a wealthy man'and woman. For
It Is real and genuine. Thcrp Is nothing
mercenary about It, And no ulterior mo
tives mar Its happiness. Tho poor man
can rest assured that 'his wife has mar
ried him for, himself, riot for the sake of
a fine position, or fine clothes, or social
prestige, or to tnako her flno friends Jeal
ous of her luak.
Tho higher qualities that go to mako
a marrlago happy are called Into play,
and consideration for each other Is the
first essential. It Is an open question
whether a woman Is not mado happier
by tho smalt dally attentions of her hus
band that cast so llttlo nnd yet aro so
often omitted tln wealthy homes than by
the possession . of unlimited means and
magnificent surroundings.
Tho brldo In tho new llttlo house wel
comes her husband's homecoming with
tho keenest eagerness,) and If he brings
her a. bunch of violets Is as delighted as
tho millionaire's wlfo would bo over a
diamond necklace probably moro so, for
the humble llttlo bride has not had a
surfeit of gifts to satlato or spoil her
pleasure.
Lovo In A cottago Is a testing of tho
very quality of love. If happiness dwells
there, then tho lovo Is pure gold.

Out from the tiny ice caves along tho

CABBAGES
AND COOKS
By miS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author of "Th4 New lloutekeeplnir."
Is cabbage a plebeian vegetable? Is It
outside tho pale of asparagus, artichokes
and green peas? Is It fit only for free
lunches and boarding houso dinners? The
caso against tho cabbage seems nlmost
ono by prejudiced housewives who say
that "cabbage Is hard to digest," Hint It
Is "strong" or who think of It ns a
coarso, triangular, brownish wedge which
accompanies "boiled dinner."
But I have a caso to mako against tho
cook and not the cabbage. In the first
place, cabbage Is a vegetable containing
n great many ot the most valuable min
eral salts, sulphur, etc., especially needed
by tho body. If It Is unwholesome or
brownish, coarse or plebeian, that Is the
fault of tho cook, and not the humble
cabbage. Well do I remember several
Now England boiled dinners In which
largo chunks of cabbago wcro dished up,
oily, strong and atmoBt bitter. But go
back of tho scene and we And that tho
method of cooking was to cut tho cab
bago In quarters, plump It In boiling
water and boll, boll, boll for several
hours. Small wonder the cabbago was
coarso I
Tho first thing to learn about cooking
cabbago is that tho leaves must bo pulled
apart or shredded, nnd as much as possl
blo separated from tho fibrous, tough,
mld-rlb. Next, It must soak until crisp
In chilled salted water. Third, It must bo
dropped quickly Into rapidly boiling wa
ter and last and most Important, It must
not boll very long. Prepared In this
way, cabbago takes from 0 to SO minutes,
when it Bhould be at once removed from
tho water and dressed with whatever
sauco or seasoning desired.
Another point, it Is preferable' to cook
It In an uncovered vessel. Thls permits
tho sulphur and other gases 'Which render
It coarso to escape, and not to ,bo con
donsed back and boiled into the vegetable.
Tho old Iron pot with Its close-fitting
cover and two-hour boiling Is to blame
for tho coarseness of cabbage. Quick
uncovered cooking, pulling apart of the
leaves, this Is all that Is needed to mako
cabbago delicious and retain its white
appearance,
Tho great quantities of cabbago or
"kraut" consumed In foreign countries
aro Justified on a health basis. But these
countries do not serve It tastelessly
boiled. They offer us numbers of plqunnt
cabbage dishes. There Is the Hungarian
dish, fairly familiar hero of a forcemeat
skewered Into separate cabbage leaves,
and all theso small portions gently sim
mered In nn appetizing tomato sauce.
Then there Is tho Turkish dish of cabbage
stuffed with rice and raUlns, or a stuffed
cabbago filled with meat, bread crumbs
and accompanied by a good sauce, is, in
itself, an entire economical meal. Creamed
cabbage, scalloped cabbage, all aro sat
isfying ways of cooking this winter veg
etable. Almost any recipe suitable for
cauliflower Is suttnblo for cabbago, and
cheeso sauces nu gratln, or tomato sauces
aro ways In which cabbago can bo gar
nished, but so seldom Is.
Housewives wall over tho high cost of
ovcythlng, but In tho samo moment pur
chase cans of exotic summer vegetables
at 10 cents for a small amount. A large,
sound head of cabbago costs 10 cents.
Half of this at 5 cents would go as far
as a 20-ccnt can, besides offering tho
freshness, medicinal valuo that cabbago
can give. Despise r.ot tho plebeian veg
etable, but educate the cook.

her about it. My peoplo spent that sum
mer at Bexhill, and Rochford went down
there, and wo saw a good deal of him.
It was not until tho middle of the Octo
ber term that I know what had happened
during the vacation. I came across Roch
ford in some woods outside Oxford and
I struck him In the face. I was strong
In those days, and I caught him on the
point of tho Jaw. Ho dropped llko n log.
and died In a few mtnutes. I aid not
mean to kill him. I think any brother
would have dono as I did."
Ho paused for a few moments and
looked down at his wife's face. Her
hands were clasped on her knees and she
was sturlng at the fire.
"I was kneeling on the ground by
Rochford's sldo," ho continued, "when I
looked up and Baw Vertlgan looking at
me through the branches of a rhododen
dron that was near tho path, Vertlgan
was a man who had como up to Oxford
late In life, and was then nearly SO. Ho
was not much liked and was looked upon
aB a rather queer card. I asked Vertlgan
to go for help, but he persuaded me to
leavo tho body where it was and make
my way back to college as soon as pos
sible. I was weak enough to give In,
and it was not until the next day that
I knew that Talbot had been found stand
ing close to the body of Bob Rochford
by Vertlgan and another man of the
name of Little. Talbot was arrested and
was unable to prove an alibi, as he had
been nway from college for three hours.
It transpired at the Inquest that Talbot
and Rochford hated each other, and that
Talbot 'hat very momlng had threatened.
In the presence of soveral other men,

would remember all his life. I I behaved
like the coward I was. But I think that
I should havo told the truth If It 'had
not been for my sister's sake and then
there was my mother."

with his tongue. So far his wlfo had not
even looked up at him, but now sho did
bo. Thero was a hard look In her eyes.
"I was only a boy," ho said hoarsely.
"And a wild young chap, with no very
fixed ideas of right or wrong. I got into
my head that, at any cost, my sister's
name must bo kept out of tho affair. It
was not until Talbot had been tried and
sentenced that I realized tho horrible
thing I had done. Somehow I thought
that 'ho would get oft very lightly. But
Rochford's peoplo had Influence and they
used It for all It was worth."
Again thero was silence. Then Lady
Wlmberley said slowly:
"And when Mr. Vertlgan came here to
ask for the post of sclcnco master ?"
and then she stopped.
"I recognled him, ot course, though his
name was Barrett when he was at Oxford.
I did not wish to engage him, but he
pointed out to me that he was as fit a
person to take chargo of boys as I was.
That was true."
"And you were afraid of him," sho con
tinued, "and although you knew that you
had to be more than ordinarily careful
about the masters you engaged, as It was
possible an attempt might be made to
carry off my son you let Urn Into the
school." She paused and rose to her feet.
"Is It that," sho continued slowly,
"which I can never forgive that which
must stand between us always."
John Srlelgh bowed his head and stood
there motionless. He was afraid to look
his wlfo in the face.
"When you engaged this man," Bho
continued, "you had Just come from mo
ws had Just told each other of our love
you knew that my boy was very, very
dear to me you must have been thinking
of me so soon after you left me. Yet you
admitted this scoundrel Into the school,
knowing nothing of him except that he
was a scoundrel. Any man might have
struck the man who had dishonored his
Bister and struck him so hard that he
died. I could havo forgiven you that I
might even have forgiven you what fol
lowedyour cowardice In allowing an In
nocent man to be punished in your place.
You had gone so far that you could not
turn back, and even then you were think
ing of your sister's good name, But I
cannot forgive you the loss of my son."
"Anne," he cried bitterly, "you must
be reasonable. It Is not even known that
Vertlgan had anything to do with that"
"He was here for that purpose. You
did not know that, but you knew that
Vertlgan was a scoundrel, and 'that an
attempt had already been made to to
take away my boy. Guy was placed In
your charge and you should not have run
the slightest risk."
"I did not dream for a moment that
thero was any risk." He spoke more
firmly now, and looked his wife In the
face. He felt more condence now that the
Issue had been narrowed down to this one
point He had been afraid that his wife
would feel most deeply about his allowing
an Innocent man to suffer for his crime.
But, womanlike, she had seized, quite Ir
rationally, on something for which he
could not reasonably be held responsible.
Of course t was natural thai the death
of her son should cast a shadow over all
her thoughts. But In time she could be
made to understand that he had not In
any way contributed to tho tragedy by
engaging Vertlgan as a science master,
"If Vertlgan had never come here," she
went on In a trembling voice, "my dear
son"'
"Anne!" ha broke In fiercely. "You
know that Doctor Anderson took the boy
from here''
"I do not believe it They do not know.
All that we do know is that Vertlgan
came here to harm my son. But why
should we argue, JackT You knew later
on for certain that Vertlgan was hero as
an accomplice of Dick Merlefs. And you
kept hint here not bs you told me, be
cause there was no legal evidence against
blm, but because you were afraid to dls

eyes ablaze. But she did not speak a
word.
"Anne!" ho faltered. "Once again I
throw myself on your meroy. I will not
argue, will not plead with you for Justice.
Think tho worst of me. If you will but
try to forgive me."
"No," she snld, after a pause, and her
voice seemed strange and hard. It was
not like her voice at all.
"You you lovo me," ho stammered,
"and once you said that that If a woman
really loved a man, sho would go on lov
ing him, whatever happened."
"Yes I said that I remember it well
we had been talking of your sister and
Bob Rochford you had that In your
mind. I remember well what I answered.
I sold that love lived after death even
after dishonor, but that it breaks the
woman's heart."
Sho turned and walked slowly toward
tho door. He stole after her and caught
her by tho arm.
"Anne," he said, "what will this mean
to ub? What aro you going to do? How
how can things o on as they were
when you you hate me?"
"I do not know what I shall do, Jack,"
she replied, wearily, "Pieaso do not keep
me here any longer my strength has
nearly gone. I I shall break down alto
gether." Ho let go of her arm, and sho left the
room. He returned, to the fire and stood
thero looking down at a single flickering
flame.
And ns he looked at it It went out, and
the room was in darkness.

Mr, Murray read the paragraph through
twice, and then cut It out of the news
paper with a pair of scissors and placed
It in his pocketbook.
An hour later he was in the train on
his way down to Harptree, nnd he arrived
at Russell's little house about 10 o'clock
In tha evening. The Inspector himself
opened the door to htm.
"Hello, Murray, you here again?"
"Yes, I'm hero all right, and Jolly cold,
