8 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Tapioca and Its Uses We have used tapioca for years and know very well that it is made from cassava, a tuber something like the potato, only enormous in size. But the tapioca we buy now is snowy white and its grains are small and it cooks quickly. "Is it the same?" we ask. It ia just the same, with modern improve ments. There are many grades of tapioca but the price does not vary much, unless we buy the costliest sort, which is really a great temptation for its cooks so quickly. The pearl tapioca must be soaked over night, or at least some hours. Then it is steamed or boiled and served witk dates, or preserves, or with cream and sugar, just as rice is cooked and served. Tapioca is a tine cereal for breakfast and what retrains may be mixed with fruit and molded for desert. Boiled tapioca is cooked in the double boiler and not in a pudding bag as an in experienced cook once tried to do when preparing it for my table? All fruits blend nicely with tapioca but the apple seems to be especially well liked with it. Apple tapioca pud ding is made as follows: —But the grains to soak in warn-, water and when they seem to be softened, pare and quarter tar: apples and place them in a baking dish. Sprinkle them with sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon and also, a little lemon iuice. Drain all the water from the tapioca and spread it over the apples, add one tabespoonful of melted butter and a cup and a half of milk or enough to cover. Bake in oven until tapioca is elear and like jelly. CIVIL WAS VETERAN KTT.I.F.D Shamokio Man Bun Down by Passeng er Train in Storm Sbamos-.n.

"Yes. tp»« Turn It away!" sober enough by now. Warrington switched off the key his face humorless, though there was a sparkle of grim humor In his sleep hungry eyes. Craig leaned against th« deckhouse, shaking and panting. "I would I could get at your aoul a* easily." Warr'ngtou threw aalde the hose, and the l.tscsrs sprang upon it not knowing what the big blond sahlt might do next. Craig turned, vesom on his tongue. He spoke a phrase. In an Instant, cold with fury, Warrington had him by the throat. "'You low base cur!" he said, shak ing the man until he resembled a man ikin on wires. "Had you been sober last night. I'd have thrown you Into the aea. Honorless dog! You wrote to Miss Cbetwood. You Insulted her, too. If you wish to die, speak to her again." Craig struggled fiercely to free him self. He wasn't sure, by the look of the other man'a eyes, that he wasn't going to be killed then and there. There was something caTe-mannlsh and cruel in the way Warrington wor ried the man. shaking him from side to side and forcing him along the deck. Suddenly he released his hold, adding a buffet on the side of the head that sent Craig reeling and sobbing into the companionway. "Here, 1 say, what'a the row?" Warrington looked over his shoul der. The call had come from the first officer. "A case of drunkenness." coolly. "But I say, we can't have brawling on deck, sir. You ought to know that. "You Low, Base Curl** If the man'a conduct was out of order, you should have brought your com plaint before the captain or me. We really can't have any rowing, sir." Warrlr-gton replied gravely: "Ex pediency was quite necessary." "What's this." The officer espied the soaked bedding. 'Who turned the hose here?" "I did," answered Warrington. "I shall have to report that to the captain, sir. It's against the rules aboard this steamship for passengers to touch anything of that sort." The officer turned and began Violently to abuse the bewildered Lascars. Warrington entered the companion way; and a moment later he heard the water hiss along the deck. He was not in the least sorry for what he had done; still, he regretted the act. Craig was a beast, and there was no know ing what he might do or say. Still dressed, he flung himself in his bunk, and immediately fell into a heavy dreamless sleep that endured until luncheon. Shortly after luncheon he was sum moned to the captain's cabin. War rington presented himself, mildly cu rious. The captain nodded to a stool. "Sit down. Mr. Warrington. Will you have a cheroot?" "Yes. thanks." A crackle of matches followed. "This fellow Craig has complained about his treatment by you this morn ing. I fancy you were rather rough with him." "Perhaps. He was very drunk and abusive, and he needed cold water more than anything else. I once knew the man." "Ah! But it never pays to manhan dle that particular brand of tippler. They always retaliate in some way." "I suppose he has given you an ex cerpt from my history?" "He says you cannot return to the States." "I am returning on the very first boats I can find." "Then be was lying?" "Not entirely. Ido not know what he haa told you, and I really do not care. The fact Is, Craig la a profes sional gambler, and I warned him not to try any of hla tricks on board. It soured him." "And knowing myself that he waa a professional, I gave no weight to hit accusations. Besides, it la none of my business. The worst scoundrel un hang haa certain rights on my ship If he behaves himself, that la sufficient for me. Now, what Crate told mi doesn't matter; but it matters that ) warned him. A word to anyone else, and 111 drop him at Penang tomorrow, to get out the beat way he caa. Ships |U*IH then this time of r«r an generally full-up. Will you have a peg?" "No, thanks. But I wish to say that It Is very decent of you." Warring ton rose. "I have traveled too long not to recognize a man when I see him. Drop In any night after ten. if you care to." "I shall be glad to accept your hos pitality." Outside. Warrington sought Elsa. and as they promenaded, lightly re counted the episode of the morning. Elsa expressed her delight in laugh ter that was less hearty than mall clous. How clearly she could see the picture! And then, the comparisons: Arthur would have gone by, Arthur would not have bothered himself, for he detested scenes and fisticuffs. How few real men she haa met. men who walked through Ufa naturally, unfettered by those self-ap plied manacles called "What will peo ple say?" "Let us go up to the bow." she In vited. "1 myself have a little story to tell." A school of porpoise were frolick ing under the cutwater. Plop! plop! they weut. Finally all save one sank gracefully out of sight. The laggard crisscrossed the cutwater a dozen times, just to show the watchers how extremely clever he was: aud then, with a plop! that was louder than any previous one. he vanished into the deeps. "I love these oriental seas." said Elsa, with he.- arms on the rail and her chin resting upon them. She wore no hat, and her hair shimmered In the sun and shivered In the wind. "And yet they are the most treacher ous of all seas. There's not a cloud in sight; In two hours from now we may be In the heart of a winter storm." "1 am grateful for that Mercy! Think of being shipwrecked on a des ert island with the colonel and his three spinsters! Proprieties, from morning until night. And the chatter ing tourists! Heaven forbid!" "You had a story to tell me," he sug gested. His heart was hot within him. He wanted to sweep her up in his arms and hold her there forever. But the barrier of wasted opportunities stood between. "Oh, yes; I had almost forgotten." She stood up and felt for wandering strands of hair. "I find the world more amusing day by day. I ought to feel hurt, but I am only amused. I •poke to the colonel this morning, merely to say howdy-do. He stared me In the eye and de-llb-erateiy turned his back to me." "The doddering old —" "There, there! It isn't worth getting angry about." "But, don't you understand? It's all because of me. Simply because you have been kind to a poor devil, they start in to snub you, you! I'll go back to my old seat at the table. You mustn't walk with me any more." "Don't be silly. If you return to your chair, if you no longer walk with me. they'll find a thousand things to talk about Since Ido not care, why should you?" "Can't I make It clear to you?" des perately. "I see with reasonable eyes, if that Is what you mean. The people-1 know, mine own people, understand Elsa Chetwood." So her name was Elsa? He re peated it over and over in his mind. She continued her exposition. •'There are but few, gently born. They are generous and broadmlnded. They could not be mine own people otherwise. They are all I care about I shun mediocrity as I would the plague. I refuse to permit It to touch me, either with words or with deeds. The good opinion of those I love Is dear to me; as for the rest of the world!" She snapped her fingers to Illustrate how little Bhe cared. "I am a man under a cloud, to be avoided." "Perhaps that cloud has a silver lining," with a gentle smile. "I do not believe you did anything wrong, pre medttatedly. All of ua, one time or another, surrender to wild Impulse, Perhaps in the future there awaits for me such a moment. I cannot recollect the name of Warrington In a causa celebre," thoughtfully. He could only gaze at her dumbly. "My name is not Warrington? finding his voice. God in heaven, what would happen when she found out what his name was? "But my first name la Paul." "Paul. I have had my suspicions that your name was not Warrington. But tell me nothing more. What good would It do? I did not read that man's letter. I merely noted your name and his.
