Porterhouse Steak and Its Condiments
Porterhouse steak pets its nnme from
a hotel man of London named Porter 1
who made a specialty of cooking this '
delectable steak with care and serving
it with just the right things that en- j]
hanee its fine flavor. ! !
The cut itself is the middle or best !
part of the loin beginning an inch ori,
two from where the filet begins near ;
the last ril) and running back to where n
the hip bone is struck. Porterhouse j i
steaks are cut clear through and con* h
tain bone, upper loin, and tenderloin !
so they weight at least a pound and if ,
they arc as thick as they should be they 1
are much heavier than that. About ten ,
inch and a half thick steaks may be 1
cut from one loin of beef and butchers
know their value so well that they are | <
usually cut to the best possible ad
vantage.
The steak is trimmed for broiling but i
the bone is not removed. Score the
outside edge so it will not draw up in
cooking. Brush both sides of the steak
with oil or melted butter and sprinkle
weell with salt and pepper. Place in the I
broiler and have a high heat at the be
ginning. Turn every four seconds for
the first three minutes; reduce heat and j
continue cooking from ten to fifteen j
minutes, according to thickness of steak ;
and whether you wish it very rare or ]
cooked through. Add butter to the j
juices that have dripped from the steak j
and after it is dished pour this over
meat. Put parsley on for a garnish j
and serve chipped or Frenched potatoes
■with it.

DANGERS OF SPRING
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By iamuel G. Dixon, M. D., LL. I
D., Commissioner of Health
*■
When nature arouses from her winter
lethargy and the first faint promises of
spring softens the wind, man in com
mon with all animal life harkens to the
foretokening.
The desire for change and relief
from the winter routine is strong in us
all and while this is the time when
caution should be exercised our impulses
seem to lead us to east it aside. The
hitgh death rate from pneumonia and
tuberculosis which is the inevitable ac
companiment of the early spring
months is an irrefutable evidence that
this change from winter habits requires
the exercise of caution to prevent evil
results.
The city dweller in particular is apt
to overeat and under exercise during
the winter season. As a result when
spring approaches his physical strength

Ah, the rich aroma of prime Havana! Ah, the

CONTINUED
Warrington, becoming suddenly
aware that his pose. If prolonged,
would become ridiculous, put on his
helmet and proceeded to the Bank of
Burma. Today was Wednesday;
Thursday week he would sail for Sin
gapore and close the chapter. Before
banking hours were over his financial
affairs were put in order, and he
walked forth with two letters of credit
and enough banknotes and gold to
carry him around the world If he so
planned. Next he visited a pawnshop
and laid down a dozen mutilated
ticketß, receiving in return a hand
some watch, emerald cuff buttons,
some stickpins, some pearls and a
beautiful old ruby ring, a gift of the
young maharajah of Udainnr. The an
cient Chinaman smiled. This was a
rare occasion. Men generally went
out of his dark and dingy shop and
nevermore returned.
"Much money. Can do now?" affably.
"Can do." replied Warrington, slip
ping the treasures into a pocket. What
a struggle It had been to hold them!
Bomehow or other he had always been
able to meet the interest, though, often
to accomplish this feat he had been
forced to go without tobacco for weeks.
There is a vein of superstition in all
of us, deny It how we will. Warring
ton was as certain of the fact as he
was of the rising and the setting of
the sun, that if he lost these heir
looms he never could go back to the
old, familiar world, the world in which
he had moved and lived and known
happiness. Never again would he part
with them. A hundred thousand dol
lars, almost; with his simple wants,
he was now a rich man.
"Buy ling?" asked the Chinaman.
He rolled a mandarin's ring carelessly
across the showcase. "Gold; all
heavy; velly old, velly good ling."
"What does it say?" asked Warring
ton, pointing to the characters.
"Good luck and plospelity; velly good
signs."
It was an unusually beautiful ring,
unusual in that it had no setting of
jade. Warrington offered three sov
ereigns for it. The Chinaman smiled
and put the ring away. Warrington
laughed and laid down five pieces of
gold. The Chinaman swept them up
in his lean, dry hands. And Warring
ton departed, wondering if she would
accept such a token.
By four o'clock he arrived at the
Chinese tailors in the Suley Pagoda
road. Ho ordered a suit of pongee, to
be done at noon the following day. He
added to this orders for four other
suits, to be finished within a week.
Then he went to the shoemaker, to the
hatter, to the haberdasher. All this
business because, he wanted her to
realize what he had been and yet could
be. Thus vanity sometimes works out
a man's salvation. And it marked the
end of Warrington's recidivation.
When he reached his lodging house
he sought the Burmese landlady. She
greeted him with a smile and a stiff
little shake of the hand. He owed
her money, but that was nothing. Had
he not sent her drunken European
sailorman husband about his busi
ness? Had he not freed her from a
tyranny of fists and curses?" It had
not affected her in the least to learn
that her sailorman had been negli
gently married all the way from Yoko
hama to Colombo. She was free of
him.
Warrington spread out a five-pound
note and laid ten sovereigns upon it.
"There we are," he said genially; "all
paid up to date."
"You go 'way?" the smile leaving
her pretty moon-face. "You like?"
with a gesture which indicated the
parlor and its contents. "Be boss?
Half an' half?"
He shook his head soberly. She
picked up the money and jingled it
in her hand.
"Goo'-by!" softly.
"Oh, I'm not going until next Thurs
day."
The smile returned to her face, and
her body bent in a kind of kotow. He
was so big, and his beard glistened
like the gold leaf on the Shwe l)agon
pagoda. She understood. The white
to the white and the brown to the
brown; it was the law.
Warrington went up to his room. He
was welcomed by a screech from the
parrot and a dignified salaam from
James, who was trimming the wick of
tho oil lamp. For the last year and
a half this room had served as head
quarters. Many a financial puzzle had
been pieced together within these dull,
drab walla;'many a dream had gone
up to the celling, only to sink and dis
sipate like smoke. There were no pic
tures on the walls, no photographs.
In one corner, on the floor, was a stack
of dilapidated books. These were
mostly old novels and tomes dealing
with geological and mathematical mat
ters; laughter and tears and adven
ture, sandwiched In between the dry
posltiveness of straight lines and
squares and circles and numerals with
out end; D'Artagnan hobnobbing with
Euclid! Warrington was an educated
man, but he was in no sense a scholar.
James applied a match to the wick,
and the general poverty of the room
was instantly made manifest.
"Well, old sober-top, suppose we
square up and part like good friends?"
"I am always the sahib's good
friend."
"Right as rain!" Warrington emp
tied his pockets upon the table; silver
and gold and paper. "Eh? That's the
stuff. Without it the world's not worth
a tinker's dam. Count out seventy
pounds, James."
Calmly James took sovereign after
sovereign until be had withdrawn the
required sum. "Uoia is neavy, sahib,"
I he commented. "You go back home?"
"Yes. Something like home. I am
going to Paris, where good people go
when they die. I am going to drink
vintage wines, eat truffles and muah-
I rooms and caviar and kiss the pretty
girls in Maxim's. I've been in prison
for ten yearß. I am free, free!" War
! rirgton flung out his arms. "Good-by,
jungles, deserts, hell heat and thirsty
, winds! Good-by. crusts and rags and
p hunger! lam going to live."
, I ."The sahib has fever," observed the
I unimaginative Eurasian.
, | "That's the word; fever. lam burn
! ing up. Here; go to the Strand and
[ get a bottle of champagne, and bring
, j some ice. Buy a box of the best ci
gars, and hurry back. Then put this
j Junk in the trunk. And d n the
. : smell of kerosene!"
I James raised his hand warningly.
From the adjoining room came the
sound of a quarrel,
j "Rupees one hundred and forty, and
I want it now, you sneak!"
"Rut I told you I couldn't square up
j until the first of the month."
"You had no business to play poker,
then, tr you Knew you couldn't settle."
1 "Who asked me to play?" shrilled
J the other "You did. Well, 1 haven't
got the money."
"You miserable little welcher! Tho
[ ring is worth a uundred and forty."
"You'll never get your dirty Angers
inside ot that."
1 "Oh, I shan't, eh?"
\ Warrington heard a scuffling, which
' was presently followed by a low, chok
ing sob. He rushed fearlessly into the
other room Pinned to the wall was
a young man with a weak, pale face.
The other man presented nothing
more than the back of his broad, mus
cular shoulders. The disparity in
weight and height was sufficient to
rouse Warrington's sense of fair play.
Besides, he was in a rough mood him
: self.
"Here, that'll do," he cried, seizing
I the heavier man by the collar. "It
! isn't worth while to kill a man for a

handful of rupees. Let go, you fool!"
He used his strength. The man and
his victim swung in a half-circle ind
I crashed to the floor.
With a snarl and an oath the gam-
I bier sprang to his feet and started
toward Warrington. He stopped short.
"Good God!" he murmured; and >.e-
II treated until he touched ihe footboard
, of the bed.
CHAPTER VI.

t In the Next Room.
"Craig?" Warrington whispered the
j word, as if he feared the world might
hear the deadly menace in JIB voice.
For murder leaped up in his heart »s
I flame leaps up n pine Kindling.
( The weak young man got to his
I knees, then to his feet. He steadied
i himself by clutching the back of a
» chair. With one hand he felt of his
s throat tenderly.
"He tried to kill me, the black
* guard," he croaked.
9 "Craig, it is you! For ten years
i ! I've never thought of you without mur
f j der in my heart. Newell Craig, and

1 small." Warrington laughed. It was
• | a high, thtn sound.
' 1 The young man looked from his en
" ! emy to his deliverer, and back again.
" ! What new row was this? Never be
• j fore had he seen the blackguard with
1 | that look in his dark, handsome, preda

6 { was this big, blond chap whose lingers
were working so convulsively?
"Craig," said ihe young man, 'you
I get out of here, and if you ever come
bothering me, I'll shoot you. Hear
me?"
1 1 This direful threat did not seem to
stir the sense of hearing in either of
' the two men. Suddenly the blond man
1 caught the door and swung It wide.
1 "Craig, a week ago I'd have throttled
you without the least compunction.
\ Today I can't touch you. But get out
of here as fast as you can. You might
have gone feet foremost. Go! Out of
Rangoon, too. I may change my mind."
The man called Craig walked out,
squaring his shoulders with a touch of
bravado that did not Impress even the
1 plucked pigeon. Warrington stood
' listening until he heard the hall door

M. S. QUAY WILL IN COURT
Daughter Asks That Executors Be Made
Give Accounting
Beaver, Pa., March I.—Litigation
has been started in the county court
here by Mrs. M. S. Quay Davidson, of
Buffalo, in connection with the estate
left by her father, the late United ;
States Senator Matthew Stanley Quay. |
A petition filed by Mrs. Davidson's j
attorney asked that a citation be
awarded directing that executors, Rich- j
ard R. Quay, of Sewickley, ami the!
Union Trust Company, of Pittsburgh,
for an accounting of funds left under]
the provisions of the Senator's will,'
one section of which provides that the i
income of one-fifth of the estate shall
be paid a son, A. G. C. Quay, of Beaver,
with the stipulation that this amount |
shall not exceed $4,000 a year. All ■
over this amount is to be put in the j
principal trust fund and divided ac
cording to the provisions of the will.
Mrs. Davidson alleges that there are
certain funds remaining from the one- j
fifth of the estate that should now be 1
divided. One-fifth of the cetate was left}
to Mrs. Davidson with the provisions j
that her husband, in no event, shall |
ha ve interest Ln any part, either of the J
principal of the profits and income of j
the estate. The will does not require j
the executors to make an inventory of !
the executorship or trusteeship, but
they are to submit their accounts to the {
legatees upon reasonable demand.
