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. "I know
that I have always intended to do

something, but I don't believe in going
to an ofHce to do it. 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.

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.

Hangs From Bridge
to Escape Pennsy Flier
Bristol, Pa., March 23.—Caught on
the railroad bridge spanning: Pennsyl*
vania avenue, at MorrisviUe, with the
Southern Express roaring down the
tracks, William Gagg, of Morrisville,
to-day owes his life to his presence of
mind. 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.

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.
