20 yjjit Readii\<i and all tive EmvJJxj ]|p|lj THE HONEYMOON HOUSE By Hazel Dale. Janet and Jarvis met each other like two children. Jarvis stood at the head of the stairs and caught Janet as she rushed up the last flight. "I have the most wonderful news," she gasped, breathless with the long upstairs run. "So have I!" Jarvis announced. "What is it, something about the picture? Didn't they make you buy it back? How wonderful?" Jarvis had drawn her into the studio and now interrupted. "Oh, 1 bought it back all right, but Rhoades asked ine for more. Isn't that great? You don't know what that means from the editor of 'The Raven,' it means just everything, lie was awfully decent, and asked mo if I had anything more of the kind. He said that if I had and would bring it in, he would almost as sure me that he would take it." "Why, Jarvis," said Janet, almost solemnly, "it never rains but it pours. Here I was bewailing the fact that we had to lose that hundred dollars, and everything is coming out just beau tifully." "Well, what about you?" Jarvis said, impatiently; "what have you got to tell me? Begin from the begin ning." • "Well, just after you left Mr. Deer lng called me up and asked mo to come right down. He said that he had something to talk over with me. I •was terrified because I -was later with the last instalment of the series, and I thought he was going to tell me that the Chronicle could get along without my services, but I rushed right down, and what do you think?" Janet stopped impressively. Jarvis sljook her lightly. "Go on," he said, teasingly. "Well, they like my little stories. Mr. Deering said that I hail quite a human viewpoint, and that I kept my work simple, and that was what made It go so well. They want to know if I would like the Children's Department of 'The Children's Hour.' You know it's under the same management as the Chronicle. I would never have been suggested if it had not been for Mr. Deering, but it seems that he told Mr. Reese that ho thought I might try, anyway. The editor is ill, and they have had a dreadful time. Oh, Jarvis, do you think I could do it?" "Of course, you could do it." "But tt would mean working in an office all day or part of the day." Jarvis looked at her gravely. "And it's not at all what we had planned," Janet said almost mourn fully as she saw his face.

A -woman ought to be at home some of the time. 1 realized all this when Mr. .Deerlng talked to me, Jarvis, but it did seem such a beautiful opportunity. Any way, 1 wanted you to see that I was a personage, and coming on the heels of this morning's disappointment it was like a dream." Jarvis held Janet's nervous little hands tightly in his own. "I'll tell you, dear, you decide this for yourself, and whatever you do will be just right. liiza can manage the house all right if you decide to take the Job and for a, beginner like you the opportunity is. one in a hundred." "I know it, I know It, dear. I realize that we have come to a very definite fork in the roads, and I don't know what to do. I don't like to feel lhat I am missing an opportunity, but I'm afraid that it will make me un happy later if I do this thing." All through lunch Janet was very quiet. 6he was trying to adjust her mind to the circumstances. Naturally, she was young and extremely flattered. The offer almost lifted her oft her feet. To be associated with a newspaper for only a little time, and then to be of fered a magazine job. It just seemed impossible to overlook it. But there was Jar Vis. if she took this position, Jarvis who worked at home, would be alone all day. Her place was there with him. Had she married him to be with him, or to be at an office all day? When she came home at night all out and cross, Jarvis would be just ready to go out. Unless she wanted to put her career first, she would have to give up her splendid chance. After all, Jarvis was the one thing that mat tered. And Jarvis was thinking too. He was determined to be broad, and to do the decent, fair thing. He was proud of Janet, proud that she had such a creat chance, but he hoped with all his heart that she would not take it. It was hard to keep from telling her how much ho wanted her home with liini, but he was determined not to be self ish and to consider Janet's side alone. Janet looked up finally with a smile curving her lips. "I told Mr. Deering that T would have to speak to you first, boy," she said softly. "So I'm going back this afternoon and tell him that I can't tako it. It's not a sacrifice, this giving it up, T just know that it would have made me miserable." And Janet laughed her own soft laugh as Jarvis came around the table to her. (To Be Continued.) Copyright, 1913, by Doabtafay, Pag* A C*. (Continued.) Ho stopped, for 1 was laughing. "Wby not drain tbe bay?" I sug gested. "There's a-plenty of land down there." "Well,"* said Talbot in a calmer man ner, "we won't quite do that, but we'll put some of those sand hills into the edge of the bay. You wait and see. If you want to make money you Just buy some of those water front lots. You'll wake up some morning to find you're n mile Inland." I laughed again, but just the other day, iu this year 181)0, I rode in a street car where fifty years ago great sliips had lain at anchor. We discovered Johnny and Yank and pounded each other's backs and had drinks and generally worked off our high spirits. Then we adjourned to a corner, lit cigars, a tremendous luxury for us miners, and plunged into recital. Talbot listened to us attentively, his eyes bright with interest, occasionally breaking in on the narrator to ask one of the others to supplement some too modestly worded statement. "Well," he sighed when we had fin ished, ".vou boys have certainly lind a time! What ! experience! You'll never forget it!" He brooded awhile. "I suppose the world will never see its like again. It was the chance of a lifetime. I'd like—no, I wouldn't! I've lived tor Well, now for the partner ship. As I inderstaud it, for the Hang man's Guk'i eiid of It we hnve, all told, about s.">.ooo—at any rate, that was the amount MrClellan sent down to me.'' "That's it," said I. "And the Porcupine Flat venture was a bad loss?" "The robbers cleaned us out there except for what we sent you," I agreed regretfully. "Since which time Yank has been out of it completely?" "Haven't made a cent since," ac knowledged Yank cheerfully, "and I owe somethlnk to Frank here for my keep. Thought I had about $1,500, but I guess I ain't." "At Italian Bar," went on Talbot, "how much did you make?" "Doesn't matter what I made," In terposed Johnny, "for, as Frank told you, it's all at the bottom of the Sacra mento river." "I diil pretty well." said I, "and pulled out 21C ounces." "About $.0,000," computed Talbot. "You're the plutocrat, all right. * Well, I've done pretty well with this end of the partnership too. I think—but I guess we'd better take a fresh day to it. It must be ungodly late. Good Lord, yes! Three o'clock!" Nobody would have thought so. The place seemed nearly as full aa ever. We accompanied Talbot to his hotel. where he managed, after some diffi culty, to procure ua a cot apiece. Our sleep was short, and in spite of our youth and the vitality we had stored in the healthy life of the hills we felt dragged out and tlrea. Five hours' sleep in two days Is not enough. I was up a few minutes before the rest, and I sat In front of,the hotel basking in the sun like a lixard. Talbot appeared last, fresh and smil ing. Breakfast finished, he took us all with him to the new brick building. After some business we adjourned once more to the Arcade. There Tal bot made his report. I wish I could remember It and re poat It to you verbatim. It was worth It. But I cannot, and the most I can do Is to try to convey to you the sense of that scene—we three tanned, weath er beaten outlanders listening open mouthed to the keen, compcteut, self assured magician who before our eyes spun his glittering fabric. Talbot Ward had seized upon the varied pos sibilities of the new city. Tba earn ings ou his first wheme—the ship store houses ftnd the rental of the brk:k building on Montgomery street, you will remember— amounted net the first month, I believe, to some SO,OOO. With his share of this money he had laid narrow margins on a dozen options. Day by day, week by week, his op erations extended. He was In wharves, sand* lots, shore lots, lightering, plank roads, a new hotel. Day after day, week after week, he had turned these things over, and at each turn money had dropped out. Sometimes the play thing proved empty, and then Talbot had promptly thrown it away, appar ently -without afterthought or regret. As fast as he acquired a dollar he In vested It In a new chance, until his In terests extended from the Presidio to the water front of the Inner bay. These Interests were strange odds and ends. He and a man with his own given name, Talbot H. Green, had title In much of what Is now Harbor View that Is to say, they would have clear title as soon as they had paid heavy mortgages. His shares In the commer cial wharf lay In the safes of a bank ing house, and the dollnrs he had raised on them were valiantly doing duty In holding at bay a pressing debt on precariously held water front equi ties. Talbot mentioned glibly sums that reduced even the most successful mining to a child's game. The richest strlße we had heard rumored never yielded the half of what our friend had tossed Into a single deal. Our own pitiful thousands were beggarly by comparison, Insignificant, not worth considering. Of all the varied and far extending affairs tlie Ward block was the flower. Talbot o-fcned options, equities, proper ties, shares In nil the varied and nu merous activities of the new city, but each and every one of them he held subject to payments which at the pres ent time he could by no possibility make. Mortgages and loans had suck ed every Immediately productive dol lar, and those dollars that remained were locked tight away from their owner until such time as he might gain possession of a golden key. This did not worry him. "They are properties that are bound to rise In value," he told us. "In fact, they are going up every minute we sit here talking. They are futures." Among other pieces, Talbot had been able to buy the lot on the Plaza where now the Ward block was going up. lie paid a percentage down and gave a mortgage for the rest. Now all the money he could sqeeze from all his other interests ho was putting Into the structure. That Is why I rather fan cifully alluded to the Ward block as thejlower of all Talbot's activities.

Gagg was on his way to work at the West MorrisviUe yards, and failing to notice the express train in the distance, started across the bridge. Too late he heard the warning whis tle as the flier thundered toward him. He started to run. but realized that there was only one way of escape open and took it. Hastily he swung himself out over the bridge and clung to a beam. He had just cleared the track when the fier dashed by. Gagg clung to his perilous pqsttion until the train passed, and then crawl ed back on the bridge. His overcoat had been ripped from his body, but he was uninjured, and proceeded to the yards, where he is employed as a clerk. The incident was seen by scores of per sons.

( •j TIMELY HINTS THE HOME GARDENER Planting Vegetables For Winter Use <. _ / Washington, D. C., March 23. There are a number of vegetables which, though grown in the summer are usually planted for use in the fol lowing winter. An adequate supply of these produced In the home garden will do much to make the family's winter fare more attractive and more economical. Among garden products of this type may be named cabbage, carrots, parsnips, turnips, and ruta bagas. Both early and late varieties of cabbage are grown extensively. In the North early cabbage may be plant ed in the hotbed during February and transplanted to the open ground as soon as the soil is ready to be worked. For a late crop it U customary to plant the seeds in a bed In the open ground in May or June and transplant them to the garden in July. For "Cab bage of this character the soi'l should be heavier and more retentive of moisture than for early cabbage, which requires a rich, warm soil in order to reach maturity quickly. For the late variety it is not desirable to havj too rich a soil, as the heads are liable to burst. Cabbages should be set in rows 30 to 36 inches apart, the plants standing 14 to 18 inches apart in the row. To store cabbage the heads should be buried in pits or placed in cellars. 1 One method is to dig a trench about )t lB inches deep and three feet wide and set the cabbage upright with the heads close together, and the roots embedded in the soil. When cold weather comes the heads are covered lightly with staw and three or four inches of earth put in. Slight freezing does not injure cabbage, but it should not be subjected to repeated freezing and thawing. Early cabbage cannot be kept, as it does not stand hot weather well. It should be used soon after it has formed a solid head. Cauliflower is cultivated in much the same was as cabbage, but when the heads begin to develop the leaves may be tied over them in order to-ex clude the light and keep the heads white. Cauliflower requires a rich, moist soil and thrives best under Irri gation. The tender heads of this vege table are boiled with butter or cream, and also used for pickling. The roots of the parsnip are dug) late in the fall and stored in cellars or | pits, much ns cabbage is, or else are I allowed to remain where they are. grown and are dug as required for use. All roots not dug during the winter, however, should be removed from the garden, as they will produce seed the second season and become of a weedy I nature. When the parsnip has been al -1 lowed to run wild in this way the root C is considered to be poisonous. The seeds of parsnips should be sown early as convenient in the spring in rows 18 inches to 3 feet apart. The plants should later be thinned to stand three inches apart in the row. A rich soil with frequent cultivation is necessary for success with this crop. The roots are boiled until tender and then cut in slices and browned in but ter or roasted with meat in the same way that potatoes are. Carrots iire cultivated in practically the same way as the parsnips, but are not thinned so much and are allowed to grow almost as thickly as planted. Those not used during the summer are dug in the autumn and stored in the same manner as parsnips or tur nips. If there is a surplus it may be fed sparingly to horses and mules or cattle. Turnips are used largely in combi nation with potatoes, cabbage, and meat in boiled dishes. They are also mashed like potatoes and are a desir able addition to the ordinary winter fare. They require a rich soil and may be grown either as an early or late crop. For a ljite crop it is custom ary to sow the seeds broadcast on land from which some early crop has been removed. In the North this is generally done during July or August, but tho usual time is later in the South. The plants are quite hardy and the roots need not be gathered until after sev eral frosts. They may then be stored in a cellar or buried in a pit outside. Before storing, the tops should be re moved. If an early crop is desired the seed should be sown In drills 12 to 18 inches apart as early in the spring as the condition of the soil will permit. After the plants appear they are thin ned to about three inches. Two pounds Of seed are required to plant an acre. The rutabaga is quite similar to the turnip and is grown in much the same way. It requires more space, however, and a longer period for its growth. It is used to a considerable extent for stock feed and has the advantage of being quite hardy.
