Japan makes sweet potato flour and •akes haked from H are very good: not nnlike the American pumpkin bread of two or three generations ago. But when a food is delicious in its own simple goodness, as sweet potatoes are, why should we want to change their character or make them into anv-i thing they are not? "Yams," these vegetables are called in the south and though the name is incorrectly applied, it has come to mean a very large and very sweet va riety that seldom come far into the' northern market, more's the pity. To imitate its incomparable flavor we ' add sugar, honey or maple syrup to our i more starchy sweet potatoes when we cook them: though this inproves their flavor, they are still inferior to the southern article.

Marion's men lived on sweet potatoes for weeks during (lie Revolutionary war and when the Eng lish general hunted out the "Swamp- Vox," as they had named turn, for a ! parley he was asked to dine on the same fare. Evidently he was not a lover of the vegetable for he reported that "men who could live and fight on ; such diet could never be whipped."

Or put the potato slices in a | shallow dish that is well buttered and i sprinkle with melted butter mixed with sugar and cook in the oven until ! browned or carameled. I Potato pudding—Mash the boiled ; sweet potato and add butter and cream, i Whip the mixture light and bake until brown over the top in a dish it can be j served in. Most recipes for this call for eggs, but they are not needed as the 1 potato is sufficiently rich. Hither of the above dishes are much i relished with pork roasts and with all game.

But Nell and I have to make a train. That's all." interrupted Doogan. "Caroline, my dear, look out of the front door and see if there are any in dications that the police are coming back," directed Mrs. i.'arr. "Very well, mother." replied Caroline. "But the only Indications would be the police coming in. However, I'll go and look, as you tell uie to." Caroline went out. gave a perfunc tory look up the street and auother one dowu and came back with the report that all was outside. There was not a policeman to be seen. Eveu the officer on the beat was keeping away from , that part .of street. "Then I'll proceed." announced Mr. Spelain. taking out bis ever useful prayer book aud turning the leaves to the marriage service. "Show me you* license." Jack Doogan hastily produced the li cense and handed it to Mr. Spelain. He glanced over it. saw that the stamp and signatures were correct and in due form and handed il back. "That nil?" asked Doogan. "Want to look at my tongue or see my vaccina tion marks?" he added in a low tone that the minister did not catch, bul which Nell did aud I'#: - which she gave her lover an admonitory si;ip on the arm. "Now. John Doogan and—and"— "Nellie Jones," supplied Nell. "And Nellie Jones," went on the min ister. "do you both promise to lead honorable lives?" "I'd do anything for her." answered Jack Doogan quickly. "Honest to God 1 would!" "Then join hands." "Wait a moment." interrupted James C[uney. .lack Doogan turned swiftly, and the black look on his face might have made Cluney fall back if he had seen it. But be was not looking at Doogan lust then. He was beckoning to •Madge. "What 1s it?" asked the minister, rather scandalized over being stopped at such n moment. "I)o you know of any reason or just impediment"— "No. no! Not at all! But tbis is our wedding day. and I feel that we've tvaited long enough." "That's all right!" said Doogan. "You won't have to wait more than a few minutes. Then we'll give you the par son if you want him." "There is no use waiting at all that 1 can see." rejoined James Cluney. "He can marry us at the same time make n double ceremony of it. you know.

"Mr. Doogan is our guest now." But there was another interruption. As the minister turned to his prayer book to include James Cluney audi Madge Carr in the ritual that was to! bind Jack Doogan and Nellie Jones to-1 getber, I)r. Willoughby besged him not' to bfcgin just yet. The doctor had be< n whispering ear-j nestly to Joan Carr behind the others,: and it appeared now that he had al- j most persuaded her to something which | had shocked her at first, but which did not seem so dreadful as he kept on ! talking. "And will you marry me, Joan?" he 1 was saying. "We might as well. I have ! the license in my pocket"— "Impertinence'." she interjected, but I not in an angry tone. "The names are there, and every- i thin? is complete and regular," Wil loughby went. on. "Det me ask Mr. Spelain to include us in the ceremony. Won't yon. dear?" "I couldn't think of such a thing." re turned Joau. "What would mother say?"

"Do you mean to say, Willoughby, | that"- "Willitun!" boomed Mrs. Carr in au j awful voice—for she wanted to make her husband understand that she still was head of the house so far as mar riage and similar proceedings were concerned. "I have given my consent." ! "Mr. Spelain." continued Mrs. Carr j solemnly. "Mr. Spelain, will you please marry my daughter Joan to Dr. Wil- j loughby?" "Geet What next?'' breathed Jack Doogan. "There'll only be one of the j Carr girls left." "That's so—Miss Caroline," whisper ed Nell. The little minister was rather taken aback by the unexpected rush of busi ness. But he was game—as Jack Doo gan remarked afterward to Nell—and as soon as he had recovered from the shock ol' finding three couplfs on his hands he directed Dr. Willoughby and Joan to stand up on the right side of Doogan and Nell, while James Cluney and Madge Carr were on their left. "Al! kneel," said the minister sol emnly. Jack Doogan hesitated, as if he hard 1 ly knew how to do it, and Mrs. Carr, intensely interested, repeated the in struction. for his benefit: "He sßid kneel." "This seems too gr.od to be true." muttered Jack Doogan n ,ie knelt rev erently by Ihe f ide of the gri who had •lone so much for liitn, and for whom, on his side, he had dared something and would dure more by giving up bis old lawless life for ever.
