THE HONEYMOON HOUSE
By Hazel Dale.
Jarvls felt pretty blue as he made
his way down to the offices of "The
Haven," to buy back his drawing. He
Janet had thought It best to lose
no time about It, but the though was
iHimilialng to Jarvls. It almost made
liim feel as though his work had been
Inferior. He stopped at a counter and
asked for the last copy of Mirth. He
was anxious to see the picture that
was so much like his own. Yes, there
it was. Well the idea was not so dif
ferent after all.
Jarvis could not help feeling com
forted after he had seen the picture.
He was too generous not to see the
point of the thing in a minute, and
too fair not to understand that "The
Haven" could not afford to take a
chance with its circulation.
Jarvis arrived at the offices and
nsked to see the art editor. He was
not kept waiting long, for almost
immediately after the office boy came
out smiling genially and asked him
to step inside. The next minute he
was shaking hands with a pleasant
faced man, who looked up from his
desk and scrutinized Jarvis keeftly.
"Good morning," he said briskly.
"Did you come for your drawing?
Rather a disappointment for you I
suppose."
"Well, it was pretty bad until 11
bought Mirth, and then 1 saw that
you couldn't do anything else."
"The picture on Mirth isn't as
good as yours," the art editor said
quickly. . ,
Jarvis grinned. "I didn't think
no myself," he said frankly, "but
that doesn't make any difference, the
idea's there and that's what counts."
"Been in this work long, Mr.
More?" questioned the other man.
"Quite awhile, yes. I have been
doing black and white work until re
cently. Now I am trying colors."
"I like your technique, you seem to
work easily. That's a great asset, you
know."
Jarvis flushed a little. Praise from i
the editor of the Raven meant a ]
great deal to him, even if he did
have to part with a precious hundred
dollars and relinquish the hope of
having a cover appear for some time
to come.
Jarvis caught sight of his picture
standing against the side of the desk,
and he stooped to pick it up and
scrutinize it again. It gave him a sense
of security to feel his work in his
hands again. Then he brought out

The editor took It with a little
smile.
"As I said, I like your work. Mr.

"Why., thank you, Mr. Rhoades,"
he said boyishly, "I'm glad you like
my work, I'll be in very shortly. I
have some more work that 4 might
bring down."
Mr. Rhoades shook hands with him
very cordially and Jarvls almost broke
into a whistle before he reached the'
outer office. He wondered what Janet
would say. This morning she had been
so disappointed about loAing the
money for the picture, just as she had
been so happy and confident. But now
that the art editor liked his work, why
there was no limit to what might hap
pen and Jarvis whistled gayly as he
strode along.
He ran up the steps of the apart
ment three steps at a time and burst
into the studio, anxious to impart the
news. Liza was getting lunch ready,
but Janet was not at home.
"Miss Janet was done called down
town," Liza informed hipi, "but she
I left this here note for you." And she
handed Jarvls a twisted note.
It was short and to the pojflt, and
simply said that Janet had been called
down to the office, and would be back
as soon as she could get there. Jarvls
wondered if anything could have gone
wrong with Janet; he hoped not, not
when he had just fallen into an un
believable piece of good luck.
Jarvis settled himself at his work,
but nothing went right. He was too
anxious to see Janet to work with any
feeling of inspiration, and finally flung
his materials down and walked to the
window. At 1 o'clock, just as he was
about famished, the telephone rang
and Janet's voie at the other end
hailed him gaily.
| "I have the most wonderful news
for you," she said ecstatically. "I
am just leaving the office, but I called
tip so that you would wait lunch and
not get too impatient."
"What is the news?" queried Jarvis
gaily. "I might have some myself."
"Really?" from Janet. "But wait
till you hear mine. I'll be right up,
boy. with my pride in full force. Good
bye!"

MAN'S FIRST DIET
WAS GREEN THINGS
Modern Housewife Lpys Too
Much Stress on Meat, Fowl
and Fish
"And out of the ground made the
Lord God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight and good for
food."—Genesis 2: 9.
Thus history teaches us that from
the earliest age man's diet was sup
plied primarily with fruits and grow
ing green things. It required weapons
to kill living creatures arid these the
father of the race did not possess.
Meat, fowl and fish undoubtedly have
their chemical values and should be
used to a certain degree, but the mod
ern housewife lays too much stress
upon them with the result that the
doctors reap the harvest. By saying in
midwinter that vegetables should be
used more plentifully, I do not mean
that they must necessarily be canned
goods entirely. I have made a plea
heretofore for the "roots and tubers"
with which our markets abound at
such low figures. ,
While speaking of the markets I
want to say that I have made per
sonal visits of investigation to see if
what I have heard so often said was
true, namely that this or that market
undersold another. I made a list of
the prices given ni.e by the dealers and,
after comparison, found them virtual-'
ly the same everywhere. Personally
I was a bit surprised when moving to
Harrisburg sonve years ago from a big
city to find the market people so sim
ple hearted and Honest a class. Now
and them a drawn chicken contains
two hearts or two necks but then such
accidents (?) may happen anywhere.
It has been proven by actual test
that the butcher's bill of the average
family far exceeds that of the grocer
if the staples such as flour, sugar, etc.,
be omit#ed. In nearly all meats there
are minute disease-breeding parasites,
ill some cases in such quantity that we
fear the formal inspector must be in
need of stronger glasses. Vegetables
and fruits also contain dangerous in
sects and parasites but when in suffi
cient quantity to do serious harm to
the human organism the tree or plant
is first eaten away and rotted to such a
degree that it attracts attention. All
vegetables eaten raw such as lettuce,
celery, water cress, etc., should, as a
safeguard, be laid in a bowl of,cold
water to which a little vinegar is add
ed. The latter instantly kills all in
sects and the tiny bodies can be seen
afterwards floating in the water. Then,
when thoroughly washed and drained,
one can feel safe to enjoy the salad.
Cancer of the stomach or the intes
tines, a disease so woefully on the in
crease in our country, is said in many
cases to be directly traceable to the
minute insects on raw food.
For the small, capricious appetite
the salad can contain all the food
properties of a heavy meal in propor
tionate quantity. For instance:
Lettuce- —mineral salts. ,
. Celery—mineral salts.
Nuts —-proteins. i
. Fresh fruit—mineral salts.
Sliced tomatoes—Mineral acid.
Mayonaise (eggs, milk, oil, vinegar,
sugar)—fats and carbohydrates.
There has been much written of late
with regard to a diet for reducing flesh
wherein the green vegetables are used
almost entirely at the expense of the
starchy ones and all sweets ruled out.
For a certain length of time such a
system is successful, the weight de
creases and all seems well, but in the
| course of a few months the patient
usually develops a lassitude, a lack of
animation. Why? Because nature's
law has provided starch and sugar as
the heat and energy producers of the
Viuman organism just as surely as coal
is needed to feed an engine. As proof
of this, notice the abundant energy and
quick movement ,of the average stout
man or woman with the exception of
the really obese whose excess pounds
are a form of disease usually traceable
to the weakness of some especial or
gan.
With the present high cost of living,
many housewives have dropped the
use of cakes, puddings and similar
luxuries. With eggs at the price they
are, custards are almost prohibitive.
Therefore, to provide equal food value
for her family, the wise woman will
substitute fruit and more of the vege
tables. containing sugar and starch
such as potatoes, peas, beets, rice,
corn, etc.
Likewise, to combat the high cost of
meat, unless willing to use the cheap
er cuts the housekeeper must resort
to substitutes but there, is such a var-,
iety to fall back upon that this should
be no trouble. The fault usually is
that through ignorance she serves a
dish equally full of protein,but lacking
the bulk or filling property of the
meat and the family object. What
(married) man would eat 2 ounces of
salted peanuts in place of a cutlet even
when told the nutritive value was
equal? But if the nuts were baked
into a lot of hut bread, hash-browned
with potatoes or crumbled and baked
over a dish of macaroni he would
probably Bwallow them down smiling
ly. When prepared correctly, the
dried veegtables, lintels, beans, dried
peas t etc., are excellent meat substi
tutes containing both the necessary
bulk and protein. Then there is
cheese which can be prepared in many
appetizing ways besides the old-fash
ioned rarebit.
Try laying slices of bread, slightly
buttered, peppered and salted, over
one another in a deep baking dish.
Dice from one to two cupsful of cheese
and sprinkle over and between the
bread. Beat together one egg and two
cups of milk. Pour over the bread
and bake slowly until set.
Another palatable dish is made by
dotting slices of bread with cheese,
butter, salt and pepper. Lay each slice
flat in a pan and bake until the bread
is a golden brown and the cheese
melted.

"Much obliged, boys." said he. "but
I've still got my liealtb. I don't need
charity. Guess I've been doiug the
baby act But I was clean mad at
that rotten old rail. Anyway," he
laughed, "there need nobody say in
the future that there's no gold iu the
lower Sacramento. There is. I put it
there myself."
We drew up to San Francisco early
in the afternoon, and we were, to put
it mildly, thoroughly astonished at the
change In the place. To begin with,
we now landed nt a long wharf pro
jecting from the foot of Sacramento
street instead of by lighter. This
wharf was crowded by a miscellaneous
mob. collected apparently with no oth
er purpose than to view our arrfval.
Among them we saw many specialized
types that had been lacking to the old
city of a few months ago—sharp, keen,
businesslike clerks whom one could
not imagine at the rough work of the
mines: loafers whom one could not im
agine at any work at all: dissolute,
hard faced characters without the bold
freedom of the road agents: young
green looking chaps who evidently had
much to learn and who were exceed
ingly likely to pay their little fortunes,
if not their lives, in the learning. On
a hogshead at one side a street preach
er was declaiming.
Johnny had by now quite recovered
his spirits. I think he was helped
greatly by the discovery that he still
possessed his celebrated diamond.
"Not broke yet!" said he triumphant
ly. "You see I was a wise boy after
all! Wish I had two of them!"
We disembarked, fought our way to
one side and discussed our plans.
"Hock the diamond first," said John
ny, who resolutely refused to borrow
from me: "then hair cut, shave, bath,
buy some more clothes, grub, drink
and hunt up Talbot and see what he's
done with the dust we sent down from
Hangman's."
That program seemed good. We
strolled toward shore, with full inten
tion of putting it into immediate ex
ecution. "Immediate" proved to be a
relative term.' There was too much to
see.
At the land end of the wharf we ran
Into the most extraordinary collection
of vehicles apparently in an inextrica
ble tangle, that was further compli
cated by the fact that most of the
horses were only half broken. They
kicked and reared; their drivers lashed
and swore: the wagons clashed togeth
er. There seemed no possible way out
of the mess, and yet somehow the
wagons seemed to get loaded and to
draw out into the clear. Occasionally
the drivers were inclined to abandon
their craft and do battle with the load
ed ends of their whips, but always a
peacemaker descended upon them in
the person of a large voluble individ
ual, In whom I recognized mj former
friend and employer, John McGiynn.
Evidently John had no longer a mo
nopoly of the teaming business, but as
evidently what he said went with this
wild bunch.
Most of the wagons were loading
goods brought from the interiors of
storehouses alongside.the approach to
the wharf. In these storehouses we
recognized the hulls of ships, but BO
Rhored up, dismantled and cut into by
doors and stories that of their original
appearance only their general shapes
remained. There was a great number
of these storehouses along the shore,
some of them being quite built about
by piles and platforms, while two were
actually inland several hundred feet.
I read the name Nlantic on the stern
of one of them and found it to have
acquired in the landward side a square
false front. It was at that time used
at a hotel.
"Looks as if they'd taken hold of
Talbot's idea hard," observed Tank.

medlately off it had gained consider
able .dignity and importance. There
were many clothing stores and a num
ber of new saloons and gambling
houses. As we were picking our way
along we ran Into an old acquaintance
in the person of the captain of the
Panama. He recognized us at once,
and we drew up for a chat. After we
had exchanged first news Johnny ask
ed him If he knew of a place where a
fair price could be raised on the dia
mond.
"Why, the jewelry store is your tick
et, of course," replied the captain.
"So there's a jewelry store, too!"
cried Johnny.
"And a good one," supplemented the
captain. "Come along. I'll take you
to It."
It was a good one and carried a
large stock of rings, chains, pins,
clocks, watches and speaking trump
ets. The latter two items were the
most prominent, for there were hun
dreds of watches and apparently thou
sands of speaking trumpets. They
stood in rows on the shelves and de
pended in ranks from hooks and nails.
Most of them were of silver or of sil
ver gilt, and they were plain, chased,
engraved, hammered or repoussed,
with, always an ample space for in
scription. After Johnny had conclud
ed a satisfactory arrangement for his
diamond I remarked on the preponder
ance of speaking trumpets. The man
grinned rather maliciously at our cap
tain.
"They arc a very favorite article for
presentation by grateful passengers
after a successful sea trip," he said
smoothly.
At this our captain exploded.
"Are they?" he boomed. "I should
think they were! I've got a dozen of
the confounded things, and as I've just
got in from a trip I'm expecting an
other any minute. Good Lord," he
cried as a group of men turned in at
the door, "here come some of my pas
sengers now! Come along! Let's get
out of this!"
He dragged us out a back door Into
a very muddy back alley, 'whence we
floundered to dry land with some dif
ficulty.
"That was a narrow escape!" he
cried, wiping his brow. "Let's go get
a drink. I know the best place."
He led us to a very ornate saloon

TIMELY HINTS FOR THE HOME GARBENER
Peas, Beans and Beets
Washington, D. C., March 21.—Gar
den peas are a favorite crop In the
home garden, and as they are not
easily injured by light frosts, they
may be planted as soon as the soil
can be put in order in the spring, ac
cording to the specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. By
selectftig a number of varieties it is
possible to have a continuous supply
of peas throughout a large portion of
the growing season. In order to ac
complish this, plantings should be
made every 10 days or two weeks un
til warm weather comes. The first
plantings should be of small-growing,
quick-maturing varieties, such as
Alaska, First and Best, Gradus. These
kinds do not require supports. They
should be followed by the large, wrin
kled type of peas, such as Champion
of England, Telephone, and Prize
Taker. These may be supported on
brush, on strings attached to stakes
driven in the ground, or on wire net
ting.
Peas should be planted about two
to three inches deep in rows three to
four feet apart. Some gardeners,
however, follow the practice of plant
ing in double rows six inches apart,
with the ordinary space of three to
four feet between'these pairs of rows.
With varieties requiring support this
is a good practice, as the supports
can be placed in the narrow space
between the rows.
Beans are more suspeptible to cold
than peas and should not be planted
until danger of frost is past and the
ground begins to warm up. They are,
I however, among the most desirable
| vegetables that the home gardener can
raise. There are many different kinds
and varieties of beans, but for gar-

den purposes they may be divided
Into two classes —string and Lima.
Both classes are grown commercially
over the greater payt of the East and
adapt themselves to a wide diversity
of soils and climate. They grow rapid
ly and, therefore, leave the area in
which they have been planted free
for another crop. To secure a con
tinuous supply, it is desirable to make
plantings af'intervals of 10 days or
two weeks from the time that the
ground Is reasonably warm until hot
weather sets in.
Both string and lima beans arc
subdivided into pole and bush types.
The ipole Lima bean should be planted
with from eight to ten seeds in the
hill and after the plants become es- ™
tablished should be thinned to three
or four. The hills should be four or
five feet apart. Bush Lima beans are
planted live or six inches apart in
rows thirty to thirty-six inches apart.
Bush beans of the string type may
be planted somewhat closer the
plants standing three or four inches
apart in rows from twenty to twenty
four inches apart if hand cultivation
only is to be employed.
Beans of any kind should not be
planted any deeper than is necessary
to secure good germination. This
should never be over two inches and
on heavy sonl it should not be more
than 1 V 4 to 1 V& inches.
Beets can be planted comparatively
early in the season. It is not neces
sary to wait until the ground has
become warm, if the danger of frost
is past. The seed should be sown in
drills fourteen to eighteen inches apart
and covered to a depth of about one
inch. As soon as the plants are well
up they should be thinned to stand
three to four inches apart. From two
to three plantings should be made in
order to have a continuous supply of
young, tender beets.
