[iiPj Re&diivf <Mvd all ike l&rhij\| THE HONEYMOON HOUSE By Hazel Dale By Hazel Dale. They were all down at Dick Arm strong's studio. Jarvis and Janet And Neva Hart, and a cynical young man named Leonard, who was writing a book, and Keats Barnard, a young artist of whom Janet had grown fond. Keats was a successful worker in pastels and made quite a fortune for one so young. Dick had a model on the stand, and all the lights excepting Jus light for the picture had been ex tinguished. They were all watching him and occasionally making com ments. The lire was burning gayiy and Janet was curjed up on a couch near Jarvis, dreaming. She was thinking of many things, and her mind jumped from one to another. She watched Dick as he worked quickly. Dick was very dangerously good looking, Janet thought in a funny, detached way; he looked handsome in his loose corduroys, but somehow Janet felt that Dick hadn't much of a heart. Once she had spoken of him as a pagan to Jarvis. and Jarvis had laughingly agreed with her. The little model on the stand had been a forlorn enough little creature before Dick had fixed her up for the picture. She posed often for him and the other boys. Her name was Mar gery Leslie and she was poor. Now she was transformed. Dick had made her up artistically, and a gorgeous red velvet drapery had been flung over one shoulder and part of her head. The other shoulder was bare. It was an effective combination and would make a beautiful cover. Mar gery Leslio was a splendid model: that was one reason why she was in constant demand. And, then, as the boys said, she was easy to fix up. Janet and quickly discovered that the most beautiful girls never made the best models. The unusual girls who. with a few touches, can be made to look bizarre were the types that ar tists were constantly looking for. It was during the refet period when Dick had lighted a cigarette and joined the others and Margery had cuddled down in a chair quietly that the conversation started. Dick lazily asked Jarvis if he had seen Walt Hunt lately. "Why. no." said Jarvis in a sur prised tone of voice. "Have you'.' 1 thought he had deserted New York." "He has, but I heard something about him the other day," returned Dick lazily. "I heard he was mar ried."

Margery posed for him and fell des ! perately in love with him. Of course, no one ever takes Margery seriously, I and so the fellows have had fun I about it ever since." "I think it was a horrid thing for 'Dick to do." said Janet indignantly: I "but then I always said he didn't I have a heart."

Tfce Godj'o/ Copyright by Frank A. Munwy Co. (Continued.) Zat Arras' flagship was close to my own. I could see the thin features of the man from where I stood. His Zodangan crew was pouring broadside after broadside into us, and we were returning their fire with equal ferocity. Closer and closer came the two vessels until but a few yards In tervened. Grapplers and boarders lined the contiguous rails of each. We were preparing for the death struggle with our hated enemy. There was but a yard between the two mighty ships as the first grappling irons were hurled. I rushed to the deck to be with my men as they board ed. Just as the vessels came together with a slight shock I forced my way through the lines and was the first to spring to the deck of Zat Arras' ship. After me poured a yelling, cheering, cursing throng of Helium's best fight ing men. Nothing could withstand them In the fever of battle lust which enthralled them. Down went the Zodangans before that surging tide of war, and as my men cleared the lower decks I sprang to the forward deck where stood Zat Arras. "You are my prisoner. Zat Arras!" I cried. "Yield and you shall have quarter." For a moment I could not tell wheth er he contemplated acceding to my de mand or facing me with drawn sword. For an Instant he stood hesitating, and then, throwing down his arms, he turn ed and rushed to the opposite side of the deck. Before t could overtake him he had sprung to the rail and hurled "You are my ?ritanr, Zat Arras!" I cried. himself headforemost Into the awful depths below. Thus went Zat Arras, jed of Zodan ga. to his end. On and oa that strange battle. The therns and blacks had not combin ed against us.

The Trade Supplied by Henry Gilbert & Son HAimiSBURG TELEGRAPH Bible toward a ship of bis hereditary foemqn and by careful maneuvering to force the two to engage, thus leaving himself free to withdraw. This stratagem worked to perfection, and just before the sun went down I had the satisfaction of seeing all that was left of my once mighty fleet gath ered nearly twenty miles southwest of the still terrific battle between the blacks and whites. Our plan now was to attempt to make a combined upon Issus ! at dawn of the following day. Tars Tarkas, with his green war riors, and Hor Vastus, with the red men, guided by Xodar. were to land within the gardens of Issus or the surrounding plains, while Carthoris, Kantos Kan and I were to lead our smaller force from the sea of Omean through the pits beneath the temple, which Carthoris knew so well. I now learned for the first time the cause of my ten ships' retivat from the mouth of the shaft. It seemed that when they had come upon th* shaft the navy of the Black Pirates were already issuing from its mouth. Fully twenty vessels had emerged, and, though they gave battle immedi ately in an effort to stem the tide that rolled from the black pit, the odds against them were too great, and they were forced to flee. With great caution we approached the shaft under cover of darkness. At a distance of several miles I caused the fleet to be halted, and from there Carthoris went ahead alone upon a one man flier to reconnolter. In perhaps half an hour he returned to report that there was no sign of a patrol boat or of the enemy In any form, and so .we moved swiftly and noiselessly forward once more toward Omean. At the mouth of the shaft leading to Omean we stopped again for a mo ment for all the vessels to reach their previously appointed stations; then with the flagship I dropped quickly Into the black depths, while one by one the other vessels followed me In quick succession. We had decided to stake all on the chance that we would be able to reach the temple of Issus by the subterra nean way, and so we left no guard of | vessels at the shaft's mouth. Nor ! would it have profited us any to have done so. for we did not have sufficient force all told to have withstood the vast navy of the Black Pirates had they returned fo engage us. CHAPTER XV. Between Flood and Flame*. , EOR the safety of our entrance upon Omean we depended largely upon the very boldness of it. believing that It would be some little time before the Black Pirates on guard there would realize that It was An euemy and not their own returning fleet that was entering the vault of the burled sea. And such proved to be the case. In fact, 400 of my fleet of 300 rested safe ly upon the bosom of Omean before a shot was fired. The battle was short and hot, but there could have been but one out come, for the Black Pirates in the carelessness of fancied security had left but a handful of ancient and ob solete hulks to guard their mighty har bor. It was at Carthoris' suggestion that we landed our prisoners under guard upon a couple of the larger Islands and then towed the ships of the Black Pi rates to the shaft, where we managed to weds® a number of them securely In the Interior of the great well. Then we turned on the buoyancy rays In the balance of them and let them rise by themselves further to block the passage to Omean as thev came In contact with the vessels al ready lodged there. We now felt that It would be some time at least before the returning Black rirates could reach the surface of Omean and that we would have ample opportunity to make for the subterranean passages which led to Issus. As Carthoris alone knew the hidden ways of the tunnels we Could not di vide the party and attack the tempi* at several points at once, as woulr. have been most desirable, and so It was decided that he lead us all a* quickly as he could to a point as near the temple's center as possible.

Why, as men do o' land; the great ones eat up the little ones."—Pericles. If, as has been said, the constant eating of fish leaves a physical effect, then from all accounts Germany to day should be one large scale. Meat thpre is scarce and high even the do mestic animals having been ordered killed some time ago. We have not quite reached such desperate straits. We still have enough scraps to feed our dogs and cats but It would be well for us to emulate the Teutonic nation and serve 'more tlsli and sea food upon our tables not only because this is the Lenten season of self-de nial, but because of the poor, long suffering family pocketbook. Fish, with the exception of salmon, mackerel and eels, Is very easily di gested. We often force It upon chil dren as "brain food" needed to help them with their studies. It contains phosphorus, an element abounding largely in nerve tissue but, even more important, it is not a form of food to lump into an undigested mass in little stomachs causing Irritability, lassiture and a lack of concentrating power. The meat of fish is, in most cases, cheaper than the meat of mammals. Unlike flesh food, however, it should be eaten fresh and in season. Turbot is the only fish which is improved by keeping. Care Should Be Taken In Purchase When purshasing fish in the open market care should be taken to see that the flesh is firm and the eyes and gills bright. The duller the eyes and softer the body, the longer the fish has been dead. These signs are more important to the housewife than the odor, because the strong "fishy smell" is characteristic of all water food at all times. For this reason fish should never be kept in the ice box with other eatibles unless closely covered. But ter and milk, especially, absorb odors. A lard pail with a tightly fitting lid is the best kind of a reeepticle to use for the fish if it is necessary to put it into the general refrigerator. Sometimes, as with smelts for in stance, we purchase fish frozen to gether. This is not as desirable as if they could be obtained soon after the haul, but wlren bought frozen they should be kept so until just before cooking, when they should Lie thawed out In cold water. To make this easily digested food even more safe in the process of di gestion, it should be boiled, broiled or baked. The dry meat of white fish may be sometimes fried but not the oily kind. By white fish I mean cod, had dock, trout, flounder, perch, smelt, etc. Their fat is mostly secreted In the liver. The oily kind of fish whose fat is distributed throughout the whole body is, for example, salmon, eel, blue fish, shad, mackerel, etc. Naturally, when cooked in shotenlng, these oils unite with it, causing fish to fairly swim in grease and unless fried very brown and dry it becomes hard to digest. Oysters Not Expensive Oysters in season are not expensive and can be prepared in many appetiz ing ways. They contain an animal starch called glycogen which makes them of food value. These mollusks are five years old before they are suit able for eating and their natural beds are found in shallow salt water hav ing stony bottom along the entire At lantic coast. To really taste an oyster one should wade knee deep into the clear green water, find the gray mot tled shell and lifting it pry it open with a thin stone, sucking oyster and ocean in one long glorious gulp. The little gems of the oyster family are the Blue Points named for Blue Point, Long Island, from which place they originally came. They are small, plump and sweet and they soon be came so popular that the demand ex ceeded the supply and now any oyster of the same general style 'passes for a Blue Point. Most of our oysters nre large and sold by the quart minus their shells but they are sold by the count farther south. Clams, scallops, crabs and shrimps are other shell fish of appetizing flavor and value as food, while not too ex pensive, in season, for the general pocketbook. Lobsters are delicious to the palate but, being coarse feeders themselves, frequently play havoc with the human gastric organs. Ex cept in certain localities In New Eng land, they usually sell at a pretty stiff price. Cleaning a fish is a job detested by the average housewife. Personally I dread the wounds of the sharp fins or tall more than any part of the oper ation, except the removal of the scales. These have a most objection able way of evading one's utmost vigilance, even when you slant the knife according to directions, and hide in the butter or the bread tray to be discovered later to the chagrin of the housewife. 1 recommend all fish not cleaned by the dealer being turn ed over to the masterful hand of the lord of the manor to be made ready for the stove. The cook books blythely give directions of how to "loosen the skin and readily draw it off" but It seems to be a knack amounting to an art.

"I'm going to stay In this camp," Johnny advised crisply, "and I'm not going to be bothered by big bluffs like you. I warn you, and all like you, to let me alone and keep away from me.! Tou stay In camp, or you can leave camp, just as you please, but I wnrnl you that I shoot you next time I lay, eyes on you. Now, about face! March!" | Johnny's voice had an edge of steel. The big man obeyed orders Implicitly. He turned slowly and sneake<l out the door. His followers shambled toward the bar. Johnny passed them rather contemptuously under the review of his snapping eyes, and they shambled a trifle faster. Then with elaborate nonchalance we sauntered out "My Lord. Johnny," I cried when w© had reached the street, "that was flnel I didn't know you had It In you!" "What a stupid, useless mess!" ha cried. "The minute that fellow came into the room I saw we were let in for "Whtn'i the blamed cur that ie go ing to make aome money out of ar reating me?" he roared. a row: so I went at It quick before he had got organized. He didu't expect that. He thought he'd have to work us Into It." "It certainly got him," said I. "But it just starts us all wrong here," complained Johnny. "We are marked men." We went out to see Yank, with the full intention of spending the evening and cheering him up. He was dozing, restless, waking and sleeping by tits and starts. We sat around in the awk ward fashion peculiar to very young boys in the sickroom, and then, to our vast relief, were shoved out by Senora Morena. With her we held a whisper ed conversation outside, and completed satisfactory arrangements for Yank's keep. She was a chuckling, easy go ing, inotborly sort of creature, and we were very lucky to have her. Then we returned In the gathering dusk to our camp under the trees across the way. A man rose from a seat against a tree trunk. "Good fe'enin', stranger," said he. "Good evening," responded Johnny guardedly. "You are the man who stuck up Scar face Charley in Morton's place, ain't you?" "What's that to you?" replied John ny. "Are you a friend of his?" His habitual air of young careless ness had fallen from him. His eye was steady and frosty, his face set in stern lines. Before my wondering eyes he had grown ten years older In the last six hours. The other was loung ing toward us—a short, slight man, with flaxen moustache and eyebrows, a colorless face, pale blue eyes aud a bald forehead from which the hat had been pushed back. He was chewing a straw. "Welt, I was just inquirin' In n friendly sort of way." replied the new comer peaceably. "I don't know you," stated Johnny shortly, "nor who you're frlenda to, nor your camp. I deny your right to ask questions. Good night." "Well, good night." agreed the other, still peaceable. "I reckon I gather con siderable about you. anyhow." He turned away. "I had a notion from what I heard that you was sort of picked on, and I dropped round sort of friendly like, but Lord love yon! I don't care how many of you despera does kill each other. Go to it, and good riddance!" He cast his pale blue eyes on Johnny's rigid figure. "Also go to the dickens!" he remarked dis passionately. Johnny stared at him, puzzled. "Hold on!" he called after a mo ment. "Then you're not a frisnd of this Hound?" The stranger turned in alow surprise. "Me? * What are you talking about?" He looked from one to the other of us, then returned the few steps he had :aken. "I believe you don't know me. I'm Randall, Danny Randall." "Yes?" puzzled Johnny. "Of Sonoma," added Itandall. "I suppose I should know you, but I'm afraid I don't," confessed Johnny. Itandall turned back to the tree be >eath which lay our effects. "T believe I'll jOst have a cup of cof fee with you boys," said he. We blew up the fire, scoured the fry ing pan, made ourselves food. Randall brought a pall of water. We all ate together, without much conversation, then lit our pipes aud piled on dry wood to make a brighter friendship Ore. "Now, boys," said Randall, "I'm go ing to ask you some questions, and you can answer me or not, just as you please. Only I'll say Its isn't just curi osity." Johnny, who was studying him cov ertly from beneath the shadow of his hat, nodded briefly, but said nothing. "How long have you been in the mines?" "Since March." "Since March!" echoed Randall, as though a little bewildered at this re ply. "Yet 'you never heard— What camp?" Johnny studied awhile. "Hangman's Gulch for six weeks," said he, "then just prospecting." "Where?" "I don't believe I'll answer that ques tion,"' replied Johnny slowly. "But somewhere back in the hills?" persisted Randall. "Somewhere back In the hills," agreed Johnny. "Seems to me"— I broke in, but Johnny silenced mo with a gesture. He was watching Randall Intently and thinking hard. "Then you have been out of It for three months or so.
