CHAPTER VIII And So They Were Married Spring had waved her transform ing wand over the lake region be fore the Fyfes came home again. All the low grounds, the creeks and hollows and banks were bright green with new leaved birch and alder and maple. Stella stood oh the Hot Springs wharf looking out across the eftierald deep fcf the lake, think ing soberly of the contrast. Something, she reflected, some part of that desolate winter, must have seeped TT* the very roots of her being to produce the state of mind In which she embarked upon that matrimonial voyage. A little of it clung to her still. She could look back at those months of loneliness, of immeasurable toil and number less indignities, without any qualms. There would be no repetition of that. The world at large would say she had done well. She herself in her most cynical moments could not deny that she had done well. Materially life promised to be generous. She was married to a man who quietly but inexorably got what he wanted, and it was her good fortune that he wanted her to have the best 'of everything. She was not sorry she had mar ried him. If they had not set out blind in a fog of sentiment, as he had once put it, nevertheless they got on. She did not love him, not as she defined the magic word, but she liked him, was mildly proud of him. When he kissed her, if there wer eno mad thrill In It, there was at least a passive contentment in having inspired that affection, for he left her in no doubt as to where he stood, not by what he said, but wholly by his actions. He joined her now. The Panther, glossy black as a crow's wing with fresh paint. Jay at the pier end with their trunks aboard. Stella surveyed those marked with her initials, looking them over with a critical eye. when they reached the deck. "llow in the world did I ever man age to accumulate so much stuff. Jack?" she asked quizxlcally. "I didn't realize it. We, might have been doing Europe with souvenir col 'ection our principal aim by the amount of our baggage." Fyfe smiled without commenting.

How ] about it, Stella? You haven't got j so much of a grievance with the | world in general as you had when we left, eh?" "No, thank goodness," she re sponded fervently. "You don't look as If you had," he observed, his eyes admiringly upon j her. Presently they were drawing in to Cougar point, with the weather bleached building of Fyfe's camp showing now among the upspringing second growth scrub, Fyfe went for. ward and spoke to thg man at the wheel. The Panther swung offshore. "Why are we going out again?" Stella asked. "Oh, just for fun," Fyfe smiled. He sat down beside her and slipped one arhi around her waist. In a few minutes they cleared the point. Stella was looking away across the lake at the deep cleft where Sliver creek split a mountain range in twain. "Look around," said he "and tell me what you think of the House of Fyfe." There it stood, snow white, broad porched, a new house reared upon the old stone foundation she remem bered. The noon sun struck flashing on the windows. About it spread the living green of the grassy square. Behind that towered the massive, dark hued background of the forest. "Oh!" she exclaimed. "What wiz ard of construction did the work. That was why you fussed so long over those plans in Los Angeles. I thought it was to be this summer or maybe next winter. I never dreamed you were having it built right away." "Well, isn't it rather nice to come home to?" he observed. "It's dear, a homey looking place," she answered. A beautiful site, and the house fits, that white and the red tiles. Is the big stone fireplace in the living room, Jack?" "Yes, and one in pretty nearly every other room besides," he nodded. Wood fires are cheerful." The Panther turned her nose shoreward at Fyfe's word and soon slid in to the float. Jack and Stella went ashore. Lefty Howe came down to meet them. Thirty-five or forty men were stringing away from the camp, back to their work in the woods. Some waved back in the hall fellow fashion of the camps. "ilow's the frau, Lefty?" he in luired after they had shaken hands. To lie Continued Food Saving Lesson Every pound of vegetables prop erlv put by for future use, every jar of fruit preserved, adds that much to our insurance of victory.—Presi den Wilson. Canned tomato sauce ts a tasty relish to use for seasoning meats, says to-day's bulletin of the National Emergency Food Garden Commis sion, which is offering $5,000 in prizes for the best canned vegetables. In making tomato sauce cut the tomatoes Into fairly small pieces and add one large-sized onion chopped and ono cup chopped sweet red pep per to one gallon of tomatoes. Cook until tender. Put through a sieve and add a mixture of one-third salt and two-third sugar in proportion to one teaspoonful to each quart of the mixture. Cook ntll the consistency' of the ketchup, stirring constantly. Pack hot into sterilized jars or bot tles. Adjust rubber and cap; place the container on false bottom in a vessel of water sufficiently deep to reach almost to their tops and allow to remain at a boiling temperature for 2 5 minutes. Remove jars from the water bath and tighten the lids Immediately. "Water used for home canning should be pure, soft and as free from sediment and excessive mineral con tent as possible. Clear drinking water is generally usable. Boftening, hardening or discoloration of vege tables because of the character of the water is an exception to the rule In home canning. Most vegetables as well as meats are injured in flavor and quality by an excessive use of salt for season ing in the canning process. A little salt is very palatable, and its use should be encouraged, but It is better to add no salt in canning than to use too much. It can be added to suit the taste when canned goods are served.

All's Well That Ends Well m iiy JAM: MCLEAN "I can't do a thins for the girl," he I remarked loftily. It was a boyish remark and it i sounded very young. In fact, It was made thoughtlessly, but that did not make it any the less crude. "That doesn't sound like you, Bert," the woman said slowly. The boy flushed. "i know, mother, but you don't un derstand. A fellow hates to have a girl tlung at his head. It always spoils things." "I'm not flinging her at your head." "It amounts to that. Oh, I don't want to hurt you, mother, but she's not the kind of a girl I like. I might as well tell you that and have it over." He turned half away as he spoke, and the mother stole a tender look at the averted face. Any girl might b£ glad to be Chosen by this tall young giant, she reflected. Was it because he was her boy, or was he actually the best looking man in his regiment? For certainly he seemed that to her. After all, what did it matter whether he liked Doris Carhart or not? He must choose his own partner, and it was left to the mother to adapt her self to the result. That was life's strange way of doing things. "You're not angry, are you, mother? Come, be a sport. I'll tell you Just how I feel about it. A fellow likes to have a good time with a girl like that, but when he takes a girl for good she's got to be different. "How different?" "Not so self reliant, more womanly. I don't know how to express it. but that's the way I feel. Those things can't be cut and dried, mother, you ought to know that." "All right, dear, we won't say any thing more about it. I don't know what remark of mine called for all this discussion. I simply said that it would be nice if you took her to the dance to-night. She has been so nice to me." "And I'll do it," the boy returned, making a sudden resolution. "But you won't do anything more like this will you? A fellow likes to do the se lecting, you know." Mrs. Lester watched him as he strolled away ft*om the hotel veranda. Tall and straight, his slim figure look ed splendid in the well fitting uni form. The girls at the hotel had been | crazy about him from the minute he arrived, and Mrs. Lester had so hoped that he would like Doris. But her re [ mark about the dance had brought the preceding argument down about her head, and she resolved not to say anything more about the girl to Bert. .She knew that he would keep his promise and take Doris to the dance that evening, and if he chose to ignore her afterward, that was his own af fair. As for Bert himself, he was think ing indignantly of his mother's re quest. He wondered in his masculine way what she saw in the girl. She was a regular tomboy, brown as a berry, fearless, her slim body almost boyish, her brown hair dressed simply. "She has nice eyes," the boy half muttered to himself, "but she looks like a skinned cat In a bathing suit." The big hotel dinlngroom was onlv half filled when Bert lister and his mother went in for dinner that even- Daily Dot Puzzle if ii 3 • ® • *l2. ia ** . *l4 4 S 15 V ', 9 2o \ J * y v t \ 48 At. y ( V- 22. * ' 44 15 * * 24 45 4 . 6 4U 57 * aa 4o .38 . 29 *49 • Kicks like a mule, runs like a deer, Now trace and see what we have here.

Bert had asked Doris Carhart to the dance as he had dutifully promised, and because he had been forced into doing it, he did not look forward to the evening with any great pleasure. Perhaps if be had been left to his own devices he and Doris might have grown to like each other, but having been forced into showing her attention he felt indig nant that he had not been allowed to choose for himself. Slowly the diningroom began to All up and suddenly, as Bert chanced to raise his eyes from his plate, they fell upon an entrancing vision that was just entering the door. Mrs. Lester saw his eyes widen, but having made one mistake she resolved not to make another, so she said nothing. Could this be Doris Carhart? The boy was thinking. It was a girl all in white with some sort of silvery stuff floating about her. Her little head with the close waves of hair was banded with silver threads. She looked taller than usual, and her dress was cut low ln the neck over softly rounded shoulders. Bert had thought her boyish, but she looked anything but that ln the soft vellow of the electric light. She raised her eye as she passed their table. Soft eyes they were, of an indescribable beauty. Bert had thought her eyes rather nice when he met her. but to-night they were y Instances.

For several years I have been bothered with indiges tion and nervousness, ln fact was all broken up, for my kidneys gave me considerable trouble. 1 was stiff and sore and filled up with rheumatic pains. After eating had pains in stomach and would fill up with gas, felt tired and worn out all the time and would get very nervous, felt cold and creepy and was always catching a cold. It seemed I always had one. This was due to run down condi tion which made my resistance poor, I tried them all but It was the same story until I took a chance on San pan which did the work. It fixed my stomach, restored my nerves to normal, drove away my rheumatic condition, and I do hot catch cold as before.
