Shopping on Market
Wo *ll go shopping just to look at | 1
new styles in dresses and hats, slippers '
ami gloves. Why not visit the markets J
for a change "just to look. Styles (
change in things to eat as well as to
wear. i
Here is a queer, spiny looking ,
globule that the market man calls bur
or globe artichoke. It is really a
flower bud and is cooked by boiling,
and is served with melted butter or
cream dressing. It is not a bit like
Jerusalem artichoke, and is better to ,
eat than the French ones.
Kahl is another name for cabbage,
but the kale plants seen on market are
said to be the original type of the veg
etable. They do not form in heads and
the thick stems and heavy blanched
loaves are used for salads. Cauliflower,
kale and cabbage are all of the same i
family.
Here is chiekorv. Many persons
have never seen this plant that is so
common an adulterant. It has a ten
dency to become a weed in some locali
ties. though it bears a lovely blue
flower. The leaves are sold at this
season and are used like spinach, but
need to be boiled in two or three waters j
to remove the bitter taste, t hickory !
roots are dug in the fall and placed !
in a basement where it is light and j
warm, and there they produce a con- |
tinuous growth of tender white leaves
that are used for salads before they
have time to grow strong flavored. En
dive is a cultivated form of chiekorv.
Kohl rabi is half way between a cab
bage and a turnip and is cooked just as
the latter is. Ruta-baga is also very
like a turnip, but large and strongly
flavored.
falsify, or vegetable oyster, is pre
pared as parsnips are. and is a pleas
ant change from our better known veg
etables.

BLINDED BY MOVIE FILM
Boy Who Haunted Picture Shows Day
and Night Victim of Flicker
Oil City, Pa., Feb. 25. —Ralph Heek
, athorn, the 14-year-old son of Jesse
Heckathorn, recently developed an
alarming affection of the eyes, and his
physician in consultation with a special
ist yesterday decided the boy had been
j blinded by moving pictures.
It developed the lad hail been in the
habit of going to the picture theatre
in the afternoon, remaining until sup
per time and returning in the evening
to stay until the places closed for the
night. The constant strain of the flick
ering pictures wearing ou the optic
nerve is said to have brought about
atrophy of the nerves, and it is prob
able that he will be totally blind as a
result.
Goal That's Clean
The condition of the coal when
it is deposited in the bin has much
to do with its burning qualities.
The methods employed in the
Kelley yards insure the delivery of
1 clean coal. Every pound is screen
ed before weighing—this means
clean coal and honest weight. And
then, when the weather permits,
the load is sprinkled.
Nothing but coal gets into your
cellar.

CHAPTER 111.
The Weak Link.
The day began white and chill, for
February nights and mornings are not |
particularly comfortable on the Ir
rawaddy. The boat sped down the (
river, smoothly and noiselessly. For
all that the sun shone, the shore-lines
were still black. There were a hun- ,
dred or more natives squatting in
groups on the deck. They were
wrapped in ragged shawls, cotton rugs
of many colors, and woolen blankets,
and their turbans were as bright and
colorful as a Holland tulip-bed. Some
of them were smoking long pipes and
using their fists as mouthpieces; oth
ers were scrubbing tlieir teeth with
short sticks of fibrous wood; and still
others were eating rice and curry out
of little brown copper pots. There were
very few Burmese among them.
They were Hindus from central and
southern India, with a scattering ol
Cingalese. Whenever a Hindu gets
together a few rupeoc, he travels. The
past is the past, tomorrow is tomor
row, but today is today: he lives and
works and travels, prisoner to this
creed.
Elsa never strolled among them. She
was dainty. She stood framed in the
doorway, a picture rare indeed to tli« i
dark eyes that sped their frank glances
in her direction.
Upon a bench, backed against th<
partition, almost within touch of hei
hand, sat the man Warrington and his !
servant, arguing over their accounts
The former's battered helmet was
tilted at a comfortable angle and ar
ancient cutty hung pendent from hi» i
teeth, an idle wisp of smoke hovering
over the blackened bowl.
Elsa quietly returned to her chair in
the bow and tried to become interested
iu a novel. By and by the book slipped
from her fingers to her lap, and hei
eyes closed. But not for long. She
heard the rasp of a camp-stool being
drawn toward her.
"Shouldn't have disturbed you," sale
the purser, apologetically, "but your
orders were that whenever I had an
interesting story about the life ovei
here, I was to tell it to you instantly
And this one is just rippin'!"
"Begin," said Elsa She sat up and
threw back her cloak, for it was now
growing warm. "It's about Parrot &
Co., I'm sure."
"It's better than any story you'll
read in a month of Sundays Our man
has just turned the trick, as you Amer
leans say, for twenty thousand
pounds."
"Why, that is a fortune!" •
"For some of us, yes. You ses,
whatever he was in tie past, it was
something worth while, I fancy. En
glnee-ing. possibly. Knew his geology
and all that Been wondering for
months what kept him hanging around
this bally old river Seems he found
oil, borrowed the savings of his serv
ant and bought UD some land on the
line of the new discoveries. Then he ;
waited for the syndicate to buy. The>
ignored him They didn't send any
one even to investigate his claim i
Stupid, rather After a ahile. he went
to them, at Prome, at Rangoon They
thought they knew his kind Ten
thousand rupees was all he asked.
They laughed The next time he
wanted a hundred thousand They i
laughed again. Then he left for the i
teak forests. He had to live He
came back in four months In the '
meantime they had secretly investi- !
gated , They offered him fifty thou- !
sand He laughed He wanted two ! !
hundred thousand They advised him
to raise cocoanuts. What do you sup
pose he did them?"
"Got some other persons interested."
"Right-o! Some Americans in
Rangoon said they'd take it over for
two hundred thousand. Something
about the deal got into the newspapers.
The American oil men sent over a
representative That settled the syn
dicate What they could have origi
nally purchased for ten thousand they
paid three hundred thousand."
"Splendid!" cried Elsa, clapping her
hands. She could see it all, the quiet
determination of the man, the penury
of the lean years, his belief in himself
and in what he had found, and the dis
interested loyalty of the servant.
"Sometimes I wish I -were a man and
could do things like that."
"Recollect that landing last night?"
Elsa's gesture signified that she was
glad to be miles to the south of it.
"Well, he wasn't above having his
revenge- He made the syndicate
. come up there. They wired asking
why he couldn't come on to Rangoon.
And very frankly he gave his reasons.
Thsy came up on one boat and left on j
another. They weren't very pleasant,
but they bought his oil lands. He '
came aboard last night with a check
for twenty thousand pounds and two
rupees in his pocket. The two rupees
were all he had in this world at the
time they wrote him the check.
Arabian night; what?"
"I am glad. I like pluck; I like en- 1
durance; I like to see the lone man
win against odds Tell me, is he go
ing back to America?"
"Ah, there's the weak part in the
chain." The purser looked diffidently j
at the deck floor. It would have been ]
easy enough to discuss the Warring- 1
ton of yesterday, but the Warrington j
of this morning was backed by twenty
thousand good. English sovereigns;
he was a different individual. "He
says he doesn't know what his plans
will be. Who knows? Perhaps some
one ran away with his best girl. I've
known lots of them to wind up out
here on that account."
"When do we reach PromeT"
"About Bis," understanding that the 1
Warrington Incident was closed. "It j
Isn't worth while going ashore, though.
Nothing to see at night"
"I have no inclination to leave the
boat until we reach Rangoon."
She met Warrington at luncheon,
and she greeted him amiably. To her |
mind there was something pitiful In
the way he had tried to improve his
condition. So long as she lived, no
matter whom she might marry, she
was convinced that "never would the'
thought of this man fade completely
from her memory. Neither the amaz
ing likeness nor the romantic back
ground had anything to do with this
conviction. It was the man's utter
loneliness.
"1 have been waiting for Parrot &
Co. all the morning," she said.
"I'll chow him to you right after
luncheon. It wasn't that I had forgot
ten."
Rajah took the center of the stage;
and even the colonel forgot his liver
long enough to chuckle when the bird
turned somersaults through the steel
hoop. Elsa was delighted She knelt
and offered him her slim white linger.
Rajah eyed it with liis head cocked at
one side He turned insolen'.ly and en
tered his cage Since he never saw
a finger without.flying at it in a rage,
it was the politest thing he had ever
done.
"Isn't he a sassy little beggar?" j
laughed the owner. "That's the way;
his hand, or claw, rather, against all
the world. I've hr.d him half a dozeD
years, and ho hates me just as thor
oughly now as he did when I picked
him up while I was at Jaipur."
"llave you carried him about all this
time?" demanded the colonel.
"Ho was one of the two friends 1
had, one of the two I trusted," quietly
with a look which rather disconcerted
the Anglo-Indian.
"By the actions of him I should say
that he was your bitterest enemy."
"He is; yet i call him friend There's
a peculiar thing about friendship,"
said the kneeling man. "We make a
man .our friend; we take him on trust,
frankly and loyally; we give him the
best we have iu us; but we nevet
really know. Rajah Is frankly my
enemy, and that's why I love him and
trust him. I should have preferred a
dog; but one takes what one can. Be
sides . . Warrington pr.used
thrust the perch between the bars, and
got up.
"Jah, jah. jah! Jah—jr.h—-ja-a-ah!"
the bird shrilled.
"Oh, what a funny little bird!" cried
Elsa. laufehirs. "What does ho ;;-?"
"I've often wondered. It sound like
the beil-goug you hear in the Shv.e
Dagon pagoda in Rangoon He picked
it up himself."
The colonel returned to his elderly
charges and became absorbed in hi?
aged Times If the girl wanted to pick
up the riff-raff to talk tp. that was he:
affair. Americans were impossible, any
how.
"How long have you been in the
Orient?" Elsa asked
"Ten years,' he answered gravely.
"That Is a long time.''
"oometimes it was like eternity.'
'1 have heard troni the purser of
your good luck "
Oh!" He stooped again and locked
the door of Rajah's cage "1 dare say
a good many people wll' hear of it "
"It was splendid i love to read
stories like that, but I'd rather hear
them told tirst-hand
Elsa was not romantic in the sense
that she saw heroes where there were
only ordinary men; it was the ob
scure and unknown hero who appealed
to her: such a one as this man might
be
"Oh. there waa nothing splendid
about the thing. I simply hung on."
Then a thought struck him. "Ycu are
traveling alone?"
"With a companion." A peculiar
question, she thought
"It is not wise," he commented.
. "My father was a soldier," she re
plied
"It isn't a question of bravery," he
explained, a bit of color charging un
der his skin. "This world is not like
your world. Women over here
Oh, I've lost the art of saying things
clearly." He pulled at his beard em
barrassedly.
"Are you warning me against your
self?"
"Why not? Twenty thousand pounds
do not change a man; they merely
change the public's opinion of him.
For all you know, I may be the great
est rascal unhanged."
"But you are not."
He recognized that It was not a
query; and a pleasurable thrill ran
over him. Had there been the least
touch of condescension in her manner
he would have gone deep into his
shell.
"No; there are worse men In this
world than I. But we are getting away
from the point, of women traveling
alone In the East Oh, I know you
can protect yourself to a certain ex
tent But everywhere, on boats, in
the hotels, on the streets, are men
who have discarded all the laws of
convention, of the social contract. And
they have the keen eye of the kite and
the vulture."
To Elsa interest In her welfare
was very diverting. "In other words,
they can quickly discover the young
woman goes about unprotected?
Don't you think that the trend of the
conversation has taken rather a re
markable turn, not as Impersonal aa it
should be?"
"I be* vour pardon! Shall I ro?"
