"LL go if mamma will let me." £n Leona Jarvls stood ou the lit' JL tie dock In front of their sum mer cottage and looked down teaslngly at the young man who was holding his little catboat against the p|—k| with one hand while he sat on the gunwale and let the sail hang loosely. lie frowned and certainly blushed, though it was hard to see this under the coat of tan he had acquired while cmlsinK at>out the bay. During i the past couple of months be had had a i deal of thinking to do, and uoth- I ing Is so conducive to concentrated and i exhaustive thought us sailing about In a trim and docile boat without regard to time. And as most of his cruising was done alone people seemed to think that there was a misanthropic appro- "WKLI., SES THAT TOU CATCU SOM*rUJ>£) 1" prlateness about the name of his boat, the Alone. He never could convince tbem that "Alone' r should be pro nounced as a word of three syllables, nud If he did convince any of tliein they Immediately began to hum u fool ish parody of "Yankee I>oodle" which rau: Yankee JDoodle came to town All alone, aloncy. After Leona had delivered her Ulti matum there was nothing to do but wait until her mother came out of the house. As a matter of course she was Invited, but was wise enough to de cline. "I'll chaperon you from the veranda," she snld, "and the only stipulation I Utuk4> 1* LUu.L jruu Uw uui *c t off flu* top of the ocean. " Then as tho little Iniat was swinging away from the dock she called after them, "I wish you would bring me home a nice, fresh blueflsli." "Anything to oblige," Leona called back. "Well, see that you catch something," replied the mother, und laughed. Marvin Itolllns was too busy with ropes and pulleys and the many little attentions a lioat requires Is-fore she will la; entirely oliedlent to notice this little byplay of dialogue, and while he was moving about the boat he was banding cushions to Leona so that sho could make herself entirely comforta ble for the little cruise thnt he pro posed. At last be had everything trim, and they scudded out toward the open sea where a fleet of Ixaita was trolling for Itlueflsh. L<*»na amused herself for awhile In watching how rapidly they huddled together and then scattered. Hl»* inquired the cuuso of these maneu vers. "When one of the U>ats strikes a school of flsh all the other fellows rush In to get their share, and when they lots* tho school they scatter till some one else strikes one, and then they come together again." At this [>olut Leona's attention was attracted by something else. "Oh, Marvin!" she exclaimed enthu slastlcally. "i/ook at that wide streak of oil we arc crossing. Does that mean that oil Is coming out of the liottom of the sen; that there Is a Texas gusher under the Oreat South bay?" He looked at her curiously to make Sure Jlnit she was not (Miking fun at him, but Ix-ona was n good actress aud looked entirely Innocent. "Ouslier nothing! That's simply a chumming streak." "And what may a chumming streak be?" "Why, when amntenrs go after blue flab they do not use a s<|Uld like profes sloiuils. They chum for them." "Well?" "They ehop up mummies and throw them overliosrd so thnt they will Boat down with the tide and make an oily streiik that the bluellsli will follow up until they strike the baited hooks." "How horrible! Hut I always thought that mummies were preserved In splcea and sin-h things, and not In oil." "Oh, pshaw!" said Itolllns testily. "I am not speaking of that kind of mum mies The mummies they have down here are little fat tlsh thnt they catch wltli nets to use for chumming." - t>m inn ft— —v 1-mi |< "■» •"-»r/llUt* don't llsh thnt way." "Of course not, unless they can't kill flsh In uny other way." "But If It Isn't the l»est way to tlsh why does any one llsh that wayV" "Because gentlemen llsh for sport and not for spoil. It Is more s(M»rt to chum for llsh and catch them with a rod and reel." "Then It Is really not good form to flsh for blueflsli unless you chum for them?" "Oil, It IH nil rlKlit to catch one or *o for n meitl, but It In not thu thin# to do If one In ont for uport." "Well, we iiro out for aport, ureii't we?

The more I>*otin thought of It the more she felt tl *t she * was thor oughly abused. In tAe first place, it was humiliating that lSe shon'd let his proposal be Interrupted by a in<te fis!. It looked as If he cared mote for the fish than for her. And tlxm the author itative way In which he had ordered her about! She neTerthought hint capa ble of It, and. angry as she was. she was Inclined to ad nitre tills sudden new development of his character. "It's the finest blneflsh in the bny." he muttered between his teeth as he still pulled heroically at the line. Time aiul again the tlsh broke water anl tried to rush -th» line so as to tear or shake the hook out of Its Jaw, but It had been too securely hooked, Indeed, If It had not been hooked beyond all hope of breaking away It would have escaped while Leona wa» pulling at It and letti'iK the line slip away from her. At last with a shout of triumph he lift ed the tlsh over the gunwale and drop ped It on the bottom of the boat. "Fifteen pounds If It weighs an ounce!" Ufa oxplplfjtet}- f«' rl y sputtering with Joy aud entirely oblivious or what the advent of the fish bad Interrupted. As Leona made no comment, he glanced from fcls prize to her face. Its |iue» jvere net and rigid, "H'liy," h» asued with a pusaled air, "aren't you glad I got the flsh?" "Of course I am," she answered Icily, "since you seemed to want It so bad." "What do you mean?" he asked, still more bewildered. "Welj, ypu seethed to want that flsh more than you wanted me!" she snap ped. In a moment he was back where he was before the flsh had bitten, but such were his excitement and exhilaration over the capture that Instead of start |PK to stammer apologies, as be would uaturally liavo done, he started off on a roar of laughter that seemed uncon trollable. He was certainly develop ing wonderfully today. But his laugh ter was so Infectious that the absurd ity of the situation dawned on Leona, find she Joined In, though oot Vof7 heartily. "Well, I don't care!" she grumbled. "I think you are real mean." "But I have shown myself a good provider." "Who said that I wanted you to be a provider for ine?" "Oh, no one, pf pourae," he said, still laughing; "but the way you obeyed me was wonderful." "Well. If you Intended to lw>«s me Ilk* that I am very glad that the flsli inter rupted your proposal." "Then you Intended to accept me?" "I never said so." "And you ol>eyed me like a wife of ten years' standing.'' "Well, I'll never do tt again." "I'll never ask you to again." ner face suddenly sobered, for she thought he meunt be would never ask her to be hi* wife again, and now that her nnger had turned to laughter she wan only teasing again. He saw the change and with another burst of laughter brought the boat about so that the sail was between them and the Ashing fleet that was rapidly assem bling because he had been seen strug gling with the big flsh. Just what hap pened behind the sail Is better ifuessed than told, but when they reached the little dock again I>>ona's mother called to tbem: "Catch anythingT' And they both answered: "Yes." A ED<SEf" "1 Mlnat* Teeth, Like Thme of m Uw, Make Its Ktnaicia, The edge of a rasor consists of In numerable points or "teeth," which If the razor Is of good material follow each other throughout Its whole length with great order and clearness. The unbroken regularity of theae minute "teeth" goes to make up the blade's excessive keenneaa. The edge acts upon the beard not so much by the direct ap plication of weight or force as It does by a slight "seesaw" movement, which causes the successive "teeth" to act rapidly on one certain part of the hairy gnmth. The best razors, according to the mlcroscoplsts, have the teeth of their edges set as regularly as those of a perfectly set saw. This explains the magic effect of hot water on the razor's blada—the act of flipping It thoroughly cleansing the teeth of any greasy or dirty substance with which they may have been clogged. Barbers often claim that ra zors "get tired" of shaving und that they will be all right after awblle If permitted to take a rest. When In this "tired" condition a microscopic exam ination of the edge shows that con stant stropping by the same person bas caused the teeth or fibers of the edge to all arrange themselves In one direc tion. A mouth of disuse causes theae fine pnrtlcles to rearrange themselves so that they again present the hetero geneous saw toothed edge. After this little recreation each particle of the fine edge Is up and ready to support his fellow, aud It agalu takes some time to spoil the grain of the blade. Verdi Was When Verdi was putting the last touches to "II Trovatore," he was vis ited lu his study by a privileged friend, who was one of the ablest living mu sicians aud crltloa He was permitted to examine the score and run orer the "Anvil Chorus" on the pianoforte, "What do you think of that?" naked Verdi. "Trash!" responded the con noisseur. Verdi rubbed his hands and chuckled. "Now look at this," he said. "Hubblsb!" said the other, rolling a cigarette. The composer rose nod eta braced him with a burst of Joy. "What do you mean?" asked the critic. "My dear friend," cried Verdi, "I have been making a popular opera. In It I re solved to please everybody except the purists, the great Judges, the elus slclsts like you. Had I pleased you I should have pleased no one ••ls«v What you say assures me of success In three months 'II Trovatore' will b« sung and roared and whistled and bar rel organed all over Italy."

Fill not mots than half full with the cider atook, which should have fermented at least a month. To this add one-fourth of tte volume of old vinegar. This Is a very necessary part of the process, sines the vinegar restrains tbe growth of chance ferments which abound In the air, and at the same time it favors the true acetic acid ferment. Next add to tbe liquid a little "moth er of vinegar." if this latter Is not st band a fairly pure culture may b# made by exposing in a shallow, uncov .red crock or wooden poll a iflixtu; oue-balf old vinegar and one-half hard cider. The room where this is exposed should have a temperature of about 80 degree* K. In three or four days the surface should become covered with a gelatinous pellicle, or cap. This Is the "mother of vinegar." A little of this carefully removed with a wooden spoon or a stick should l>e laid gently upon the surface of the cider prepared as above described. Do not stir it In. The vinegar ferment grows only at the sur face. In three days the cap should nave spread entirely over the ferment ing cider. Do not break thla cap there after so long as tbe fermentation con tinues. If the temperature Is right the fermentation should be completed in from four to six weeks. The vinegar should then be drawn off, strained through white flsnnel and corked or bunged tightly and kept In a cool place until wanted for consumption. If tbe vinegar remains turbid after ten days stir Into a barrel one pint of a solution of one-half pound of isinglass in one quart of water. As soon ns set tled rack off and store in tight veeeels. Usually no fining of vinegar Is needed. No pure elder vinegar will keep long In vessels exposed to the air nt a tem perature above 00 degrees F.
