For Emergencies
We housekeepers use a great deali t
of forethought and care in the canning! '
season, in selecting the fruita ami veg '
etables that will give us best results
later in the year. But we do not always (
use the same good judgment when
time comes to open our emergency
supplies. | '
Often canned goods are just dumped
into'a sauce pan and reheated, seasoned
anv way, and sent to the table. This is
wrong, tanned stuffs need lots of coax
iug and fixing to make them really
palatable, but if this carf' is given they
respond and we get the credit of being'
good cooks.
tanned foods need air. jo after de
ciding what you will have for the next
meal open the cans and empty them into
bowls, or into the utensils they will be
cooked in later. Let them stand open
and they will absorb the air they have 1
been denied and taste much fresher'
than if they are opened the last mo
ment before cooking.
But be sure you empty them or pto
maine poisoning will result. Any food
left standing in tins will germinate
this poison. Carelessness in this re
gard is terribly dangerous. Bniptv ev i
erv can the moment you o|>en it, is
the only safe rule.
On the shelf of canned goods we
should include some specialties that
are factory made for. say what you
will, the fact remains wc still depend
on commercial canners for many canned
dainties. And when company comes un
expectedly. instead of being fearfully
embarrassed, we turn with splendid as-'
surance to the emergency line.
There should be tomato bouillon.'
spaghetti in tomato, a box of assorted

should be kept filled and these, with a
little ingenuity, will enable you to meet
any surprise party as coolly as though
you had been forew-arned.
To have these articles on the em
ergency shelf is not as expensive as
it sounds. If company does not come
you still have them and if you know
how to save what is left, entertaining
need not be extravagant. Take the
matter of condiments for instance, one
uses very little of these |nd they can
be reseated. The same applies to
pickles, nuts, figs and dates.
Mushrooms, truffles and pimentos
too can be emptied as soon as their
containers are o|>cued and what remains
at'ter garnishing the salad or making
an entree can be placed in glass con
tainers and covered with salad oil or
olive oil and refastened. After this
thev must be kept cool.
Some fo us have the idea that
canned meats, fowl and fish are extrav
agant but they are not for there is no
waste. Everything in tl»e can is solid
food. If you know how to combine
foods you will find tins hold manv an
economical, tastv meal.

(CONTINUED.)
The days flowed quietly on, O'Con
nell apparently satisfied with his lot.
But to Peg's sharp eye all was not
well with him. There was a settled
melancholy :ibout him whenever she
surprised hiiu thinking alone. She
thought he was fretting for Ireland
and their happy days together and so
said nothing.
He was really worrying over Peg's
future. He had such a small amount
of money put by. and working on a
salary it would be long before he
could save enough to leave Peg suffi
cient to carry her on for awhile if
"anything happened." There was al
ways that "if anything happened"' run
ning in his mind.
CHAPTER IX.
P»B't Futur®.
ONE day the chance of solving the
whole difficulty uf I'eg's future
was placed in O'Conneli's
hands. But the weans were so
distasteful to him that he hesitated
about even telling her.
He came in unexpectedly in the early
afternoon of that day and found a let
ter waiting for hiiu with un Kugllsh
postmark. Peg had eyed it curiously
off and on for hours. She hud turued
it over and over In her fingers and
looked at the curious, angular writing
and felt a little cold shiver run up and
down her as she found herself wonder
ing who could be writing to her father
from EngUmd.
When O'connell walked in and pick
ed the letter up she watched him ex
citedly. She felt, for some strange rea
son. that they were going to reach a
crisis in their lives wheu the seal was
broken and the contents disclosed.
Superstition was strong in I'eg. and all
that day she had been nervous without
reason and excited without cause.
O'Couuell read the letter through
twice. Slowly the first time, quickly the
second. A look of bewilderment came
across his face as he sat down and
stared at the letter in his hand.
"Who is It from at all?" asked Peg
very quietly, thougb she was trembling
all through ber body.
Her father said nothing.
Presently he read it through again.
"It's from England, father, isn't it?'
queried Peg. pale as a ghost.
"Yes. Peg.'' answered her father, and
his voice sounded hollow and spirit
lees.
"I didn't know ye had friend* ia Eng
land." said Peg. eying the letter.
"I haven't.'' replied her father.
"Then who is it from?" insisted Peg.
now all imjsitlenee and with a strange
fear tugging at her heart.
O'Connell looked up at her as sbe
stood there staring down at him. her
big eyes wide open and her lips part
ed. He took bott* of her hinds in one
of his and held them all (rushed to
gether for what seemed to Peg to be a
long, long while. Sbe hardly breath
ed. She knew something ffas going
to happen to them botb.
At last O'Connell spoke, and his voice
trembled and broke:
"Peg. do ye remember one mornin',
j ears an' years ago. when I was go
in' to speak in Cornty Mayo, an' we
started in the cart at dawn, an' we
thraveled for miles nn" miles, an' we
came to a great big orossin* where
the roads divided an' there was no
signpost, an' we asked each other
which one we should take, an' we
couldn't make up our minds, an' I left
it to you. an' ye picked H road, an' it
brought us out safe and ilirue at the
spot we were makin' for? Do you re
member it. Peg?"
"Faith I do, father. I remember it
well. Te called me yer little guide
and said ye'd follow my road the rest
of yer life. Au' it's many's the laugh
we had when I'd take ve wrong some
times afterward.'' She paused. "Whrtt
makes ye think of that Just now. fa
ther?"
He did not. answer.
"Is it on account o' that letther?" she
persisted.
"It is. Peg." He spoke with difficul
ty. as if the words hurt him to speak
"We've got to a great big erossin'
piace again where the roads branch
off, an' 1 don't know which one to
take."
"Are ye goin' to lave it to me again,
father?" said Peg.
"That's what 1 can't make up me'
mind about, dear, for it may be that
ye'll go down oue. road and me down
the other.'*
"No, father." Peg cried passionately,
"that we won't Whatever the road
we'll thravel it together."
"I'll think it out by raeself, Peg.
I.ave me for awhile—alone. I want to
think it out by meself— alone."
"It it's separation ye're tbinkin' of
ncake up yer mind to one thing—that
I'll you. Never!"*
'Take Michael out for a spell and
cone back in half an hour, and in the
meanwhile I'll bate it all out in me
mind."
She bent down and straightened the
furrows In his forehead with the tips
of her fingers and kissed him and then
whistled to the wistful Michael, and
together they went runuing down the
street toward the little patch of green
where 4 tbe children played and among
whom Michael was a prime favorite.
Sitting, his head in his hands, his
eyes staring into the past, O'Connell
was facing the second great tragedy
of his life.
While O'Connell sat there in that lit-
tie room lu New York trying to decide
Peg's fate a man who bad played
some considerable part hi O'Conneli's
life lay In a splendidly furnished room
In a mansion In the west end of Lon
don-dying.
Nathaniel Kingsnorth's twenty years
of loneliness and desolation wens eom
iug to an end. What an empty, arid
stretch of time those years seemed to
bltu as be feebly looked back on them!
After the tragedy of bis sister's reck
less marriage he deserted public life
entirely and shut himself awaj In his
country house, except for n few weeks
In London occasionally when his pres
ence was required on one or another of
the boards of which he was a director.
The Irish estate, which brought about
all his misfortunes, be disposed of at
a ridiculously low figure. He said
he would accept any bid. however
small, so that be could sever all con
nection with the bated village.
From the day of Angela's elopement
he neither saw nor wrote to any mem
ber of his family.
His other sister, Mrs. Chichester,
wrote to him from time to time telling
him one time of the birth of a boy,
two years later of the advent of a
girl.
Kingsnorth did not answer any of
her letters.
In no way dismayed Mrs. Chiches
ter continued to write periodically.
She wrote him when her son Alaric
went to school and also when he went
to college. Alaric seemed to absorb
most of her interest. He was evident
ly her favorite child. She wrote more
seldom of her daughter, Ethei. and
wheu she did hap|>eu to refer to her
she dwelt principally on her beauty
and her accomplishments. Five years
before an envelope in deep mourning
came to Kingsuortl). and on opening
it he found a letter from bis sister ac
quainting him with the melancholy
news that Mr. Chichester had ended a
life of usefulness at the English bar
and had died, leaving the family quite
comfortably off.
Kingsnorth telegraphed his condo 1
lences aud left instructions for a
suitable wreath to bo sent to the fu
neral. ISut he did not attend it. nor
did he at any time express the slight
est wish to see his sister, nor did he
encourage any suggestion on her part
to visit him.
When he was stricken with an ill
ness from which no hope of recovery
was held out to liiui he at once began
to put his affairs in order, and bis
lawyer spent days with him drawing
up statements of his last wishes for
the disposition of his fortune.
With death stretching out its hand |
to snatch him from a life he bad en-1
loyed so little his thoughts, colored j
with the fancies of a tired, sick brain,!
*ept turning constantly to his dead 1
lister Angela.
I'rom time to time down through the !
rears he had a softened, gentle re
membrance of her. When the news of
her death came, furious and unrelent

He took no interest iu the news.
Is'pw, however, the remembrance of
his treatment of Angela burnt Into
him. He especially repented of that
merciless cable, "You have made your

the long hours of his Blow and painful
Illness. Had be helped her she might
have been alive today, and those bitter
reflections that ate into him night and

wondered if she were like his poor
dead sister. The wish to see the child
became an obsession with him.
One morning, nfter u restless, fever
ish night. he sent for his lawyer aud
told hiuj to at ouee institute inquiries—
fiud out if the child was still liviug
and if so where.
This his lawyer did. He located
O'Conuell iu New York through a
friend of his in the Irish party and
found that the child was living with
him in rather poor circumstances, tie
communicated the result of his inqui
ries to Kingsnorth. That day a letter
was sent to O'Connell asking him to
aliow his child to visit her dying un
cle. O'Conuell was to cable at Kings
north's expense, and if he would con
sent the money for the expenses of
the journey would be cabled Immedi
ately. The girl was to start at once,
as .Mr. Kiugsnorth had very little
longer to live.
When the letter had gone Kingsnorth
drew a breath of relief. He longed to
see the child. He would have to wait
impatiently for the reply. Perhaps the
man whom he had hated all his life
would refuse his request. If he did—
well, he would make some provision in
his will for her in memory of his dead
sister.
The next day he altered his entire
will aud made Margaret O'Connell a
special legacy. Ten days later a cable
came:
I consent to my daughter's visiting you.

The lawyer cabled at once, making
all arrangements through their bankers

ney.
That night Kingsnorth slept without
being disturbed. He awoke refreshed

How much had he robbed himself of

O'Connell had a hard struggle with
Peg before she would consent lo leave
him. She met all his arguments with
counter arguments. Nothing would
move her for hours.
"Why should I go to a man I have
never seen and hate the name of?"
"He's your uncle. Peg."
