Some Tasty Recipes
The following easily prepared
luncheon dishes are especially compiled
for those readers who enjoy making
delicious new combinations with small
amounts ef left overs.
Beef Cecils— Grind or chop cold
beef very tine and add to each cupful
the yolk of one egg. two tablespoons
of crumbs and one tablespoon of but
ter. Season to suit your taste. Mold
;r.to balls or <-roquette shapes and bread
or flour. Fry in deep fat or spread with
butter and brown in uot oven. Serve
with horseradish san e.
Make al v ve sauce thus: One table
•poon of melted butter mixed with one
of flour and ad.led to one cup of beef
broth or one quarter cup of rich gravv.
St ; r until •.! is cooking briskly and is
smooth. If gravy is used add one-half
cup of milk. When done add one-quar
ter cup of grated horseradish and salt
to taste.
Cold Meat With Peppers— Seed and
chop one green pepper and brown it in
butter, add two cups of minced cold
meat and three tablespoons of rich
cream.
Cold Boiled Potatoes— lt s said
tiiere are thirty-three ways of cooking
potatoes but that the average cook
knows but one. and that is to boil them.
If they are well boiled that one way is
the surest stepping stone to all other
methods, for the finest results are made
from plain boiled potatoes. For in
stall e. hashed brown potatoes, potatoes
I.yonnaise. potato salad, and so on. all
0 require the preliminary boiling. When
only a few potatoes remain after a meal
there is no better way to prepare them
than to make
Creamed Potatoes— P:v them and
season with salt, brown in frying pan
with butter, add one-half pint of milk

Macaroni and Corn —Fill a baking

"My father know 1 would respect his
wishes."
"He was equally responsible for me,
yet he leaves lue to your care—a Kings
north: The men musters and the wom
en slaves: That Is the Kingsnorth
doctrine."
A servant came iu to tell Angela tlie
doctor hitti come. Without a word An
gela went out to see to the wounded
man. Tii© servant followed her.
I.et alone. Nathaniel sat down, shock
ed and stunned, to teview the Inter
view he had just had with his young
er sister.
When Angela entered the sickroom
she found l>r. MotJiunis, a cheery,
bright eyed, rotund little man of fifty,
talking freely to the patient and punc
tuating each speech with a hearty
laugh. His good humor was infec
tious.
The wounded agitator felt the effect
of it and was trying to laugh feebly
himself.
"Sure it's the flue target ye must
have made with yer six feet and one
Inch. How could the poor soldiers
help hittiu' ye? Answer me that!"
And the jovial doctor laughed again
as he dexterously wound a bandage
around O'ComieH's arm.
"Alsy now while 1 tie the bandage,
me fine fellow. Ye'll live to see the
Inside of an English jail yet."
He turned as he heard the door open
and greeted Angela.
"Oood afternoon to ye. Miss Kings- •
north. Faith, it's a blessin' ye brought
the boy here. There's no tell in" what
the prison surgeon would have done
to him. It is saltpeter, they tell me.
the English doctors rub into the Irish
wounds to kape them smartin'. And.
by the like token, they do the same,
too. in the English house of pommons.
Saltpeter in Ireland's wounds is what
they give us.''
"Is he much hnrt?" asked Angela.
"Well, they've broken nothin". Just
blackened his face and made a few
holes in his skin. It's buckshot they
used. Buckshot! Thank the merciful
Mr. Foster for that same. 'Buckshot
Foster,' as the Irish reverently call
him."
"What a dastardly thii«r to do!" she
tried.
"Ye may well say that. Miss Kings
north." said the merry little doctor.
"But it's betther than a Imllet from a
Martini-Henry rifle, that's what it is.
And there's many a [>oor Engli>j land
lord's got one of "eni in the back for
ridin' about nt night on his own land.
It's a fatherly government we have.

they."
"They'll never take it out of me.
They may kill me perhaps, but until
they do they'll never silence me." mur
mured O'Conuell in a voice so low. yet,
so bitter, that it st.trtleil Angela.
"Ye'll do (hat all in good time, me'
fine boy." said the busy little do-tor. 1
"Here, take a pull at this." r.nd he
handed the | uti- ut a glass in which he 1
had dropped a few crystals Into some
water.
Dr. McGinnis said in a whisper to
Angela:
"Let him have that every three j
hours; oftencr if he wants to talk.,
We've got to get liis mind at rest."
"There's no danger?" asked Angela!
in the same tone.
"Xoue in the wurrlil. He's got a
fine constitution, and uiebbe the buck,
shot was pretty clean. I've washed
them out well."
"To think of men shot down like
dogs for speaking of their country:!
It's horrible.' It's wicked! It's mon
strous:"
"Faith, the English don't know what
else to do with them. miss. It's uo use
arguin' with the like of him. That,
man lyin" on that bed 'ud talk the)
hind foot off a heifer. The only wuy
to kape the likes of him quiet is to
shoot him. aud begob they have."
"I heard you. doctor, - ' cam-; from the
bed. "If they'd killed me today there
would be a thousand voices rise ull
over Ireland to take the place of mine." j
"Faith. I'd rather kape me own life
than to have a hundred thousand
spakin" for me and me dead. Is it)
long yer stayin' here?" and the little:
man picked up his hat.
"I don't know." said Angela.
"Well, it's you they'll miss when
ye're 'gone. Miss Kingsnortb. Faith.
If all the English were, like you this 1
sort of thing couldn't happen."
"We don't try to understand the
people, doctor. We Jnst govern them
blindly and ignorantly."
"Faith, it's small blame to the Eng- i
lish. We're a mighty hard race to!
make head or tail of. and that's a 1
fact—cryin' salt tears at the bedside of j
a sick child and lavin' to shoot a poor'
man In the ribs for darin' to ask for:
his rint."
"They're not Irishmen." came from
the sickbed. |
"Faith, and they are, now. And It's j
small wondher the jmen who sit in,

savages."
"I've seen things since I've been
here that would Justify almost any
thing:" cried Angela. "I've seen suf
fering no one In England dresmed of;
misery that I.ondon. with all Its pov
erty and wretchednetts. could not com
pare with. Were I born in Ireland I
should IK I proud to stake my liberty
iind my life to protect my own people
from >n<h horrible brutality."
The wounded man opened his eyes
and looked full at Angela. It was a
look Rt «noe of gratitude and rever
ence and admiration.
Her heart leaped within her.
CHAPTER 111.
The Irish Patriot.

momentary enthusiasm. They
were all >o fatuously contented with
their environment. Sheltered from
birth, their anxiety was chiefly how
to niske life pass the pleasantest.
They occasionally showed a spasmodic
excitement over the progress of a
cricket or polo match. Their achieve
ments were largely those of the stay
at home warriors who fought with
the quill what others faced death with
the >«ord for. Their inertia dl>gusted
her. Their self satisfaction spurred
hur to resentment.

life. He was engaged in a struggle
that makes existence worth while—the
effort to liriug a lues-sage to his people.
Then anise a picture of her sister.
Monica, with her puny social preten
sions—recognition of tb»se in a high
er grade, bread and meat and drink to
her: adulation and gross flattery, the
very breath of her nostrils; her broth

rights of rant; ami wealth.
The memory of her mother was the
only li:;k that bound her to her child
hood— ttio gentle, uncomplaining spir
ir of her. the unselfish abnegation of
her, the soul's tragedy ot Uer. giving
up her life at the altar of duty at the
bidding of a hardened despot
She was roused from her self search

the touch of his hand
"Goodby for the present. Miss Kings
north Sure it's in good hands I'm
lavin' him. But for yon he'd be lyin"

Angela sat down at a little distance

wounded man. His face was drawn

he was not sleeping. His- fingers lock

opened his eyes and looked at her

Take a Glass of Salts If Your Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat
Forms Uric Acid
If you must have your meat every
day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says a noted author
ity who tells us that meat forms uric
a<id which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to expel it from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken, then you suffer with a dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp pains
iu the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomarh sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
body's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take B tablespoonful in n glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has Deen used for gen
erations to flush and stimulate sluggish
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in
urine, so it uo longer irritates, thus
ending bladder weakness,
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot'ln

"I know, I know!" Angela replied.
"And many a time when I was a child
njy mother and I cried over it."
lie looked at her curiously. "You and
jer mother cried over us?"
"We did. Indeed we did."
"They say the heart of England is In
its womankind. But they have noth
ing to do with her laws."
"They will have some day."
"It'll be a long time comin', I'm
thlukln'. If they take so long to free
a whole country how long do ye sup
pose it'll take them to free a whole sex
—and the female one at that?"
"It will come!" she said resolutely.
"And you cried over Ireland's sor
rows?"
"As a child and as a woman." said
Angela.
"And ye've gone about here tryin' to
help them. too. haven't >'«»?"
"I could do very little."
"Well; the spirit Is there—and the
heart is there. If tliey hadn't liked you
it's the sorry time maybe yotir brother
would hare."
He paused again, lookiug at her In
tentiy. T.-Sile his tingers clutched the
coverlet convulsively as if to stifle a
cry of pain
"May I ask ye yer name?" he gasped.
"Angela." she said, almost in a whis
l>«?r.
"Angela." he repeated "Angela!
It's well named ye are. It's the min
isterln' angel ye've been down here
to the people—and—to me."
"Don't talk any more now. Rest."
"Rest, is it. with all the throuble In
the wurrld heatin' in me brain and
throbbin' in me beart':"
"Try to sleep until the doctor couie*
tonight."
He lay back and closed his eyes.
An.S'.'la sit perfectly stOI.
In a few minutes tie opened them
again. There was a new light In his
eyes and a snitie "n his tip*
"Ye heard me speak, dlt) ye?"
"Yes."
"Whore were ye?"
"Above yon. behind a hank of trees."
A playful smile played around his
Hps as he said. "It was a good speech,
wasn't It?"
"I thought it wonderful." Angela an
swered.
"And what were yer feelin's listen-
In' to a man urgin' the people against
yer own country?"
"1 felt 1 wanted to stand beside yen
and echo everything you said
"Did you?" And his eyes blared and
his Toice rose.
"You snoke as some prophet speak-
ing in a wildeffiess of sorrow trying to
bring them comfort."
He smiled whimsically as he said in
a weary voice:
"I tried to bring them comfort, and 1
got them brokeu heads and buckshot."
"It's only through suffering every
great cause triumphs." said Angela.
"Then the Irish should triumph somo
day. They've suffered enough, God
knows "
"They will." said Angela eagerly
"Oh. how 1 wish I'd been born a mat)
to throw in my lot with the weak, t<-
bring comfort to sorrow, freedom to
the oppressed, joy to wretchedness:
That is your mission. How 1 envy
you: I glory in what the future has in

It:"
"I will!" cried O'Connell. "Some day

it done. That day'll be worth livin'

ly on the pillow, his voice falling to a
whisper.
Angela brought him some water and
helped hl*> up while he dnrnk it. She
smoothed I'aek the shining hair—red.
shot through gold—from his forehead.
He thanked her with a look. Suddenly
be burst into tears The strain of the
day had snapped his self control at
last. The floodgates were opened. He
sobbed and sobbed like some tired,
hurt child. Angela tried to comfort
him In a moment she was crying too.
He took ber hand and kissed it repeat

Roebling Plant and Twenty-Seven
Homes Destroyed in New Jersey
Capital Last Night
Trenton, Jan. 19.—An entire section
of Trenton was nearly wiped out last:
night by a tire that st-arted from an
unknown cause in the insulated wire
department of the John A. Roebling's
Sons Company plant alon|£ the Dela-,
ware and Karitan canal. The dam
ago will amount to upward of $.,000.-
OuO, and some estimates place it at
$6,000,000, although the officials of
the plant say this is high. There is an
insurance of $750,000.
The tiro spread with amazing rapid
ity in the o;d building that is known
as tho Buckthorn plant, and it soon
had the largo new insulated wire plaut ;
in tiames. This building was 300 feet
long and employed upward of t>oo men !
night and day.
The entire Trenton fire department'
was called out, but 110 headway could
be made against the tiames, which
spread as though they were feeding
upon oil. In less than an hour twenty
