CHAPTER X
Elizabeth Wade's fright had ban
ished her anger, and she forced a
smile.
"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

I felt sick as I thought of it. 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."

| How to Conserve |
Canning and Packing For Win- j
tor's Use Explained in Detail by
| National War Garden Experts ,
CANNING FRUIT JUICES
The preparation of quantities of |
fruit jellies In these days is neither j
helpful toward food conservation or
economical. 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.
