"1 spoke more sharply, perhaps, than I should have done," she said. "It Is Mrs. Chapin to whom you should apologize—not to me." "I have apologized to Mrs. Chapin," Butler told her. "She forgave me, like the good creature she is. Why. Miss Moore, what is the matter? You are ail out of breath." She tried to laugh. "I hurried up from the meadow—that is all." "Did anything startle you?" he asked. "Well—Talak's dog was there," she admitted, "and I am afraid of him." "He is an ugly brute," the man de clared. "Gome and sit down on the veranda." She walked up the path to the house with him, then sank down in a great rocker. "This day has been awfully hot!" she sighed. "And to-night is not much better. Where are Mr.—where are Cousin Amos and Cousin Mar tha?" "Mr. Chapin went down the road to see a neighbor—and Mrs. Chapin said she had some sour milk to fix for pot cheese, or something of that sort." "X see," the girl said. "Perhaps I would better go in and help her." "No—don't!" Butler urged. "Stay here and talk to me instead." Elizabeth smiled teasingly. "I am afraid I might remind you of some fussy woman," she suggested. "Ah, Miss Moore!" John Butler pro tested. "That is not kind! I told you I was sorry for my shocking speech. If you knew what I have been through, you would not wonder that I get cross sometimes." Klizabeth waited in silence. She hoped, yet feared, that this mdn would tell her of his long illness and of his meeting with her brother. She wondered if she could appear as cas ually interested and as ignorant as her role demanded. A Heconelllntlon At last Butler spoke. "I have been so much absorbed in affairs on the farm since I came that I have not let myself think of the past year. But when your cousin said what she did to-night, I remembered it all, and NO ADVANCE IN PRICE CHILDREN* Should not be "dosed" I for colds—apply "ex > (ft tern ally"— r V K,rp > Littl# Body-GuArd inTburHem#-\"/i [Vratevz^o^f <soc —50c—$1.UU | Our July Clearing Sale | Most Unusual Price Reductions | On Hats and Millinery Trimmings jj 1 For Thursday Morning 9to 12 WE CLOSE AT NOON ON THURSDAY B Black Milan Hemp and Lisere f*i\ | Hats 69C □ I HaY s hite H .T 69 c I Colored Lisere Hats, worth up f*f\ R 1 to $3.00, 69c | | Panama Hats, mannish shapes, 1 QO pencil edges $ 1 | jj Leghorn Hats, medium and // [il small shapes X OU | Black Pineapple Straw Sailors, f* t\ | Knox block b9C | | Black Lisere Hats s|.oo|!

That j was why I spoke so hastily. Then I i when I saw the look that' came to | your face I appreciated how rude I had been." "Never mind that now," the girl j said. "I acknowledge that some j I women are fussy creatures." He regarded her gravely. "Miss i Moore." he said, "do you know you ! .are the, first woman I ever met who | I was. to ail appearances, absolutely lacking in curiosity?" "Indeed!" she rejoined. "Why do you think that of me?" "Because I have said things about myself that might mean almost any thing, and you have not asked me . a single question." "Why should 1?" she argued. "It j is none of my business, is it? If you ! I want to tell me a thing, you will tell ! it. If you don't, I don't want to hear ! it." j "Well." he said slowly, "one thing ( | I will tell you is that you are a most j ' unusual person. It is rather strange, j i isn't it. that since the first evening | I came you and I have hardly ex- j changed three words? Yet here we j ! are talking like old acquaintances." j | "Yes," she admitted. "It is | j strange." j "I wonder how well you know the j owner of this farm—Dr. Wade?" But- ] I ler asked suddenly. "Have you ever j I met him?" j "Yes." Elizabeth replied. "I have I seen him here quite often." | "Well, he is. as you know, a friend j |of mine." Butler went on. "That Is i —l—well—l met him when I was j ! staying out in a place at the West where he is a practicing physician, j j He mentioned to me that he had a j ! farm that was not paying. I wanted : j to try out what I know of scientific | j farming—so I suggested that he let j ! me come on and see what can be j j done." I This man could act a part as well i jas she could, Elizabeth reflected. He f I was not saying a word about his ill health —the ont thing that made It j, advisable for him to come here. Worth Savlnjc "Well,'' she remarked easily, "I j hope you find the place worth saving ( from the ruin that Dr. Wade seemed i 0 fear." "Indeed I do," her companion de clared. "If I only could get Chapin to see what might be done. But ie has a notion"— He stopped abruptly. "Well?" Elizabeth leaned forward in unfeigned interest. "I—beg your pardon again!" Butlej exclaimed. "For the moment 1 for- 1 got that Mr. Chapin is your cousin." • "Oh-—he—l mean the relationship is not on that side of the family," J the girl assured him. "I will not be vexed at anything you say of Cousin \ Amos. Now, if you criticised Cousin I Martha, that would be a different | matter." But the man was not to be be- i trayed into any indiscretion, and she ' knew that it would be unwise to urge ! him 'to explain. "Oh, well," he said, "I only meant J that Mr. Chapin has some old-fash- i ioned notions about working the j place. From what he let slip the I other day, I fancy he thinks of buy- i ing off Wade's interest. In that case, of course, he would not care to have the farm made any more valuable just yet. It would be poor business." "Yes," Elizabeth agreed, "it would be poor business." \ A dark figure stole around the cor ner of the veranda, and stood in the shadows watching the pair intently. Close to the figure crouched a black dog. • | The girl did not look around, but she was vaguely conscious of some sinister presence. She stood up. "I must go in and help Cousin Mar tha," she announced abruptly. "Good night, Mr. Butler." • (To He Continued) Expect 15,000 Men at Meade in Few Weeks Camp Meade, Md., July 10. ln the neighborhood of 15,000 young men have been ordered to report for train ing at this cantonement within the coming few weeks.

Sugar is expensive, but even if we can buy it without incon venience, it is one of the things needed for shipment to our allies, j The alternative offered instead of j jelly making is'to can fruit juices.. Juices from grapes, currants, cher- j ries, blackberries, raspberries, straw- j I berries, plumbs and applies makes ! delicious beverages. These may be j put up with a small quantity of su-j : gar or with none. Write to the Na- I ! tional War Garden Commission, i I Washington, for a free canning man-*! ' ual, which will be sent you upon re- j i quest. A 2-cent stamp to cover post- ; j age should be enclosed. S Sound, clean fruit should be heat-1 j ed until soft (over hot water, a dou- j ble boiler device is safest). Strain; through a bag, squeezing the bag, i or use a fruit press. Inexpensive ones I for household use may be obtained ■ and they are a great convenience. Pour the hot juice at once into j sterilized bottles—one level cupful of | sugar into each gallon of juice may! be first added if desired. Fill the i bottles to within one inch of the top ( ] and seal loosely with new corks, I 'soaked one-half hour in warm soda, water (one teaspoonful soda to a quart of water), and dipped into' clear boiling water just before using. Place in simmering hot water bath | and pasteurize in this for 30 minutes, j i The water should come to within an inch of tops of bottles. Remove and press corks in tight. With a sharp knife cut off each cork even with the top, placing the neck of bottle on edge of table. When cool dip each top of bottle into melted paraffin or sealing wax. Equal parts resin and beeswax melt ed together make good wax. Melt over hot water. Store in a cool, dark place. The commission will gladly answer any questions written on one side of the paper and sent in a self addressed stamped envelope. KAISER LETS KUEHLMANN GO 1 Copenhagen, July 10.—Emperor!
