Nor had time dimmed the an i.gulslj. though it had obliterated tl>< "blind rage. of tlmt day when thi i'duchess bad turned from her door th. daughter whose love for the sou of a •simple country gentleman had bade her defy ttip will of her stern and am 'bitlous mother. Elizabeth had clung, to her sweet heart and vowed she'd love only him. Since that stormy scene the duchess had spoken the name of her daughter Elizabeth to bnt one person and not a word as to the girl's fate since she went away clinging to the arm of her ehoeen husband had rea'cßed the moth er's ears. As time passed, however, the moth er's heart softened, and as her hair grew white an irresistible longing for her child tilled her heart. At length a trusted lawyer was called •nd given instructions. He was to trace the duchess' daughter and report all facts concerning her without, how ever. disclosing his identity or that of his employer. On receiving his report the duchess would decide whether or not she would send word to that daughter to return to her arms. The lawyer's search was neither sim ple nor brief. It had been twenty years since Robert Lee and his bride started out to face life together, and the world, not knowing that the girlish »vife was the daughter of the Duchess of Drex. had concerned itself not at all as to their ruoveuieuts. and they had left bat a-faint trail In the end. however, patience and money resulted in success. The law yer followed their track across the sen and from the Atlantic seaboard of the Tnlted States Into the west. At Chicago he found recorded the birth of a daughter to Robert Castle ton Lee and his wife. Elizabeth, both of Westmoreland county. England, and In a Colorado mining town an aged minister led him to a neglected little churchyard and pointed out a stone on iwhlch he could read the words: "Elizabeth, wife of Robert C. Lee. Aired twenty-four years." Thus had ended the romance of the daughter of the Duchess of Drex. who might have been, had her heart not ruled otherwise, the Princess of Schloss-Holenburg. The lawyer hesitated, but his orders had been to report "all concerning" the daughter of the duchess, and. thinking of the birth record in Chicago, he again took up the search, which now led him from city to mining camp and back ag-ain as he followed apparently aim less wanderings. Old miners and prospectors some times nodded when he questioned them, spat reflectively and said: "Bob Lee> Oh. yes: he was 'round here fifteen or twenty years ago. Had a little gal with him. He was pros pectin'. but never seemed to have no luck.'' Finally he came to the Palace hotel In the town of Salt Springs, Nev., a id there gleaned facts which sent him straight back to England. ••••••* The lazy warmth of harvest time lay npon the land, and nt Croftlaigh the tea table had been spread in the fa mous old rose garden, and Betty her self was like a faintly pink rose among the other blossoms. A motor horn sounded from the drive, and the pink rose pouted. "Now who do yon suppose that can be?" Betty demanded. "I don't ears* who it is. I'm not going in." she added, and spoke to the hovering footman. "Tituroons. you will brinar any callers here." she said, and with a bow Titu mens departed. "Couldn't say. really. Shouldn't think you would. Clever Idea, by .love—<iuite rippln', v' know!" Lord Cecil drawled. Betty stated. "Couldn't say what, and shouldn't think 1 would what, and what is a clever idea?" she queried. "Er—all those things you observed, my dear." he drawled lazily. At this moment Timuions reappear ed and. achieving the impossible, an nounced with even more than his usual solemnity: "Her grace the Puehess of Prex!" The next instant the duchess was ad vancing briskly, and Cecil and Betty rose to greet her. "How'do. Cecil." her grace remarked with a casual nod toward that uoble man. and then turned with a smile to ward Betty. 'So this little girl is Lady Cecil." she said, and retained the hand which Betty gave her. "I had an hour to spare." she coutinued. "and so ran over from P rex ford castle to get acquaint ed. my dear. 1 can't stop a minute— tome tiresome Prince of—l forset what "How'do, Cecil," her grace remarked. —ls due this afternoon and I have to be on band, of course." The duchess hesitated and ioo!r»d deep into Betty's rather puzzled eyes. "I am going to kiss you. my child." she said suddenly, and her own eyes seemed misty. "I hare more or less of a right to." she added whimsically, "because I am your grandmother, y' know." Betty could only gasp at this star tling announcement, but Cecil found words. "Oh. I say. your grace—really, y* know—by Jove!" he protested. "You couldn't be Betty's grandmother, v" know, because then she'd be your granddaughter, by Jove!" "Well, that Is Just what she is," the duchess retorted sharply. "She is the child of my daughter Elizabeth." Suddenly her voice grew tender as she again turned to the girl. "I am glad you have yonr mother's name, my dear." she said. "I would prefer that my heiress should be so called. I can see you are perfectly happy and so won't care, but there will be a couple of million pounds when I am gone, and there is no one to have it all but you. And I want you to try to love me a bit. my child. I am an old woman and very lonely." "I will indeed!" Betty cried, with a sudden rush of pity and affection, and put her arms about the old lady's neck. "There, tfcere. now!" the duchess ex claimed, abruptly withdrawing from the embrace. "I'll have to get back to my bothersome Prince of what-y'- may-call-it. but you must run over and see me soon. Betty. And you. Cecil." she added sharply, "you are to bring her up to London when the season opens. I want to have the pleasure of creating a real seusation by presenting at court a young woman with some claim to good looks." Whereupon the Duchess of Drex TTAPPISPFPC; STAR-INDEPENDENT.

Still scarcely comprehending. Betty •itsreti after the departing duchess, and Cecil dnredlv lighted a cigarette. "Quite extraordinary, y" know—by •love, yes!" he said with conviction.

As the clock iu the distant village spire boomed the hour of noon, the portals were thrown open, and Lord Cecil stood before them. "Men of Croftlaigh." he said. "as of o'd time custom and that you may know this house shall endure through the years to come. 1 present to you him who <hall in tile Pleasure of tiod be nineteenth earl of Swarthmore."

Any sort of nuts may be used: children are partial to peanuts. Whatever kind you choose, be sure they are -finely chopped. Cream half a cup of butter with two cups of sugar; add three beaten eggs one cup of (lour containing three teaspoOM of baking powder. Mix all this together and add a teaspoon of lemon extract, a cup of nut meats, half a cup of sweet milk and enough more sifted flour to give the dough suf ficient consistency to roll out very thin. Cut in- round-} or fancy shapes and bake in moderate oven. The same precautions and rules hold in baking small cakes as Large ones. The flour must be sifted twice, once before the salt and baking powder are put in ami once nfter. Bread flour will not make fine cakes; pastry flour must be used, and the best baking powder is the only kind good enough for any sort of baking. Simple frostings and pure fillings are better for all cakes than fancy failures. Everything that is put on a cake should be edible and especially does this apply to children's cakes. Make plain, uncooked icings with confectioner's sugar and .the white of egg. Color it any tint desired with cake coloring and dip the small cakes in it. When it has set, but before it hard ens, put on the decoration?. These may bp candied rose leaves, violets, fancy candies or blanched nuts. Ten cents' worth of any one of them will be suf ficient for a number of small cakes or a large one. * / Even an ordinary cake is capable of many transformations and may grow into an elaborate affair by decoration.
