were steeped in that same dour color.
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.
They sat on a trunk and watched

Ronring Springs fall astern, dwindle
to a line of white dots against the,
great green base of the mountain !
that rose behind it.
"It's good to get back here," he j
said at last, "to me anyway. 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

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.

Food Saving Lesson
Every pound of vegetables prop

of fruit preserved, adds that much

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.

"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-

ing. 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 <von
derful, and they met his own with
out the boyish assurance with which
she had nonchalantly greeted him
earlier ip the day. They held instead,
a shyness that was very flattering.
That look lasted just a moment,
fhen Doris floated on down the room,
and Bert returned to a contemplation
of his food. But his appetite was
gone. All that he could think of now.

I have been bothered with indiges

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

I tried them all but It was the same
story until I took a chance on San

It fixed my stomach, restored my
