Eggs and How to Cook Thefri
Without Boiling
There is no other one article of food
that enters quite so frequently into our
daily meals as eggs, unless it ba milk,
•while milk, eggs and butter form a
combination whose food value is well
known. But the nutriment in eggs and
their ease of digestion entitles them to
be considered our most useful food.
In most households they are the
principal breakfast dish and the va
riety of ways in which they may be
prepared enhances their value.
A sure test of the freshness of eggs
is to immerse them in a bowl of water.
Fresh eggs sink to the bottom and lie
on their sides, stale ones sink and
stand on end and the older the eggs are
the nearer the top of the water they
will stay. This is because there is a
quantity of ajr in the shells of all eggs
and the older they are the more air
they contain. Candled eggs are those
that are tested against a bright light;
if they arc clear and spotless and the
yolk, can be seen they are fresh, but if
the yolk is mixed with the white and
the eggs show a dark interior against
the light they should be discarded.
It was Emerson who wrote that there
was a best way of boiling an egg, but
now cooks think that eggs are best
when they are cooked without boiling.
The way to do this is to heat enough
water to cover the eggs and when it
is boiling briskly to remove it from
the stove and put the eggs in it until
it is cold. This will be in about twelve
minutes and the eggs will be "soft
boiled" to perfection.
There used to be a feeling that it
was safe to order and eat poached
eggs in any eating house for it was
well known that only absolutely fresh
eggs would poach. But someone akin
to the wooden nutmeg manufacturer
has invented an egg-poacher of ring

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question. —"Please describe method
j of making water cress salad f"
Reply.—Wash, pick over and drain
the cress. For the last use a wire
' basket and let it hang in a cool place
i some time as the oil in the dressing
; will not adhere to cress unless the lat
j ter is well dried. Rub a salad dish with
| a cut onion and place the cress in it
j and dress with salad oil and vinegar,
[ salt and pepper. Some persons serve
■ the cress on individual salad dishes and
then pass the condiments anil the diners
! dress it to please their taste.
* * «
Question. —"Kindly give directions
for chicken and oyster pie?"
Reply.—Make the chicken pie in the
usual way and when it is finished lift
■ the crust and pour in a small quantity
(if stewed oysters chopped, seasoned
[and covered with thickened milk. Re
turn to the oven for five minutes and
1 serve in the baking dish.
* * *
Question. —"Many recipes call for
'prepared flour;' is this some'special
j brand?"
Reply.—Some flours are prepared by
having the lightening agent and salt
added to them but many housekeepers
like to measure the flour, sift it and
to every cupful add one teaspoon of
baking powder and a salt spoon of salt
and sift it again and keep it in a cov
ered crock. It is always ready for any
cake or biscuit baking and saves time.
This method is taught in schools of
cookerv.

"I . . . am," imitating net tons
and hesitance. It was the wisest
thing he could have done, for it re
laxed the nerves of both of them.
Rlsa smiled, smiled and forgot the
substance of all her rehearsals, forgot
the letter of credit, warm with the
j heat of her heart. "I am a pagan,"
she confessed.
"And lam a barbaAan 1 ought tn
be horribly ashamed of myself."
"But vou are not?"
For a moment tneir eyes drew. Her*
were like dark whirlpools, and he felt
| himself drifting helplessly, lrresist
! ibly. He dropped his hands upon the
| ra'ling and gripped; the Illusion of
I tii.iting a current was almost real tr.
! him. Every fiber In his body cried out
i against the struggle,
j "No, not In the least," he said, look
i lng toward the sunset. "Fighting is
riff raff business, and I'm only a riff-
I raffer at best."
j "Katber, aren't you Paul Ellison,
brother, twin brother, of the man I
said I was going home to marry?"
1 How far away her voice seemed!
, The throb in his forehead and the dull
: ache over his heart, where some of
| the sledge-hammer blows had gone
| home, he no longer felt.
"Don't deny It. It would be useless.
Knowing your brother as I do, who
j could doubt it?"
He remained dumb.
"I couldn't understand, just simply
| couldn't. They never told me; in all
1 the years I have known them, in all
| the years I have partly made their
i home my own, there was nothing. Not
a trinket. Once I saw a camera pic
| ture. I know now why Arthur snatched
j It from my hand. It was you. You
j were bending over an engineer's tri
■ pod. Even now I should have doubted
' had I not recalled what you said one
i day on board, that you had built
! bridges. Arthur couldn't build any
thing stronger than an artist's easel.
1 You are Paul Ellison."
"I am sorry you found out."
i "Why?"
"Because I wanted to be no more
than an incident in your life, just
Parrot & Co."
"Parrot & Co.!"
It was like a caress; but he was too
dull to sense it, and she was uncon
scious of the inflection. The burning
sunshine gave to his hair and beard
the glistening of ruddy gold. Her
imagination, full of unsuspected poetry
at this moment, clothed him in the
of a viking. There were other
whirlpools besides those in her eyes,
but Elsa did not sense the drifting as
he had done. It was insidious.
"An incident," she repeated
"Could I be more?" with sudden
fierceness. "Could I be any more In
any woman's life? I take myself for
what I am, bnt the v. orld will always
take me for what I have done. Yes,
I am Paul Ellison, forgotten, 1 hope,
by all those who knew me. Why did
you seek me that night? Why did
you come into my life to make bitter
ness become despair? The blackest
kind of despair. Elsa Chetwood,
plsa! • . . Well, the consul is
right. I am a strong man, 1 can go
out of your life, at least physically.
I can say that I love you, and I can
add to that good-by!"
He wheeled abruptly and went
quickly down the gallery, bareheaded,
without any destination in his mind,
with only one thought, to leave her
before he lost the last shreds of his
self-control.
It was then that Elsa knew her
heart. She had spoken truly. She
was a pagan—for, had he turned and J
held out his hands, she would have
gone to him. gone with him, anywhere
in the world, lawfully or unlawfully.
Elsa sang. When Martha camo to
help her dress for dinner she still
sang. It was a wordless song, a mel- i
ody that every human heart contains
and which finds expression but once.
Elsa loved.
Doubt, that arch-enemy of love and
faith and hope, doubt had spread its
dark pinions and flown away into yes
terdays. She felt the zest and exhila
ration of a bird just given its free- [
dom. Once she slipped from Martha's
cunning hands and ran out upon the
gallery.
"Elsa, your waist!"
Elsa laughed and held put her bare
arms to the faded sky where, but a
little while since, the sun had burneu
a pathway down the world. All In an j
hour, one small trifling space of time,
this wonderful, magical thing had
happened. He loved her. There had
been hunger for her In his voice, in
his blue eyes. Presently she was go
ing to make him feel very sorry that
he had not taken her in his arms, '<
then and there.
"Elsa, what in mercy's name pos
sesses you?"
"I am mad, Martha, mad as a March
hare, whatever that is!" She loved, i
"People will think so, if they hap
pen to come along and see that waist.
Please come instantly and let me fin- I
Ish hooking It You act like you did
when you were ten. You never would |
stand still."
"Yes, and I remember how you used i
to yank my pigtaila. I haven't really
forgiven you yet."
"I believe It's going home that's the
matter with you. Well, I for one shall
be glad to leave this horrid country.
Chinamen everywhere, in your room,
at your table, under your feet. And in
the streets, Chinamen and Malays and
Hindus, and I don't know what other
outlandish races and tribes. Why,
what's all this?" cried Martha, bend
ing to the floor.
Elsa ran back to the .room. She
I gave a little gasp wnen sne saw wnat
It was that Martha was holding ou*
i for her inspection. It was Warring
ton's letter of credit. She had totally
| forgotten its existence. Martha could
not help seeing It. Elsa explained
frankly what It was and how it bad
come into her possession. Martha
j was horrified.
"Elsa, they might have entered
i your room; and your jewels lying ■
about everywhere! How could you be
: so careless?"
"But they didn't. I'll return this to
j Mr. Warrlngti.n in the morning; per
haps tonight, if I see him at dinner.'
"He was In the next room, and we
never knew it!" The final hook
snapped In "Well, Wednesday
our boat leaves;" as If this put a
period to all further discussion anent
Mr. Parrot & Co. Nothing very serl
ous could happen between that time
and now.
"Wednesday night." Elsa began to
sing again, but not so joyously. The
petty things of every-day life were
lifting their heuds once more, and of
necessity she must recognize them.
She sat at the consul general's table,
Informally. There was gay inconse
quential chatter, an exchange of rec
ollections and comparisons of cities
and countries they had visited at sep- !
arate tiroes; but neither she nor he
mentioned the chief subject of thelf j
thoughts. She refrained because of a
strange yet natural shyness of a
woman who has found herself; and j
he, because from his angle of vision
it was best that Warrington should
pass out of her life as suddenly and j
mysteriously as he had entered It. I
Had he spoken frankly he would have !
saved Elsa many a bitter heartache, j
many a weary day.
Warrington was absent, and so were |
his enemies. If there was any truth '
in reincarnation Elsa was confident I
that in the splendid days of Rome she ;
had beaten her pink palms in ap- j
plause of the gladiators. "Pagan; she j
I was all of that; for she knew that she
could have looked upon Mallow's face j
with more than ordinary interest. !
Nevermore would her cheeks burn at !
the recollection of the man's look. |
In her room, later, she wrote two j
letters. The one to Arthur covered !
several pages; the other consisted ot ;
a single line. She went down to the |
office, mailed Arthur's letter and left \
the note in Warrington's key box. It !
was not an intentionally cruel letter ■
she had written to the man in Amer- j
ica; but if she had striven toward !
that effect she could not have achieved
it more successfully. She cried out '
against the way he had treated his 1
brother, the false pride that had hid- |
den all knowledge of him from her. I
Where were the charity and mercy \
of which he had so often preached ? :
Pages of burning reproaches which
seared the soul of the man who read
them. She did not confide the state of
her heart. It was not necessary. The !
arraignment of the one and the de- ;
fense of the .jiher were sufficiently J
illuminating.
Soundly the happy sleep. She did '
not hear the removal of Warring- j
ton s luggage at midnight, for it was
stealthily done. Neither did she hear j
the fretful mutter of the bird as his I
master disturbed his slumbers. Noth-1
ing warned her that he intended to j
spend the night on board; that, hav- j
ing paid his bill early in the evening, |
her note might have lain in the key j
box until the crack of doom, so far as j
he was likely to know of its existence, i 1
No angel of pity whispered to her, j !
Awrke! No dream magic people tell I '
about drew for her the picture of the ' '
man she loved, pacing up and down :
the cramped deck of the packet boat, ;
fighting a battle compared to which '
that of the afternoon was play. Flsa I
slept on, dreamless.
When she awoke in the morning she
ran to the mirror—all this fresh
beauty she was going to give to him,
without condition, without reserva
tion, absolutely. She dressed quickly,
singing lowly. Fate makes us the hap
plest when she is about to crush us. ,
Usually she had her breakfast 1
served in the room, but this morning i
she was determined to go downstairs. \ '•
She wast excited; she brimmed with 1
exuberance; she wanted Romance to |
begin at once.
"Good morning," she greeted the 1
consul general, who was breakfasting
alone.
"Well, you're an early bird!" he re
plied. By the way, our romantic Par
rot & Co. have gone."
"Gone?" Elsa stared at him.
"Yes. Sailed for Saigon at dawn,
and I am rather glad to see him go. !
I was afraid he might interest you too
much. Good heavens. Elsa, what la
the matter?"
"No, no! Don't touch me. I'm not [
the fainting kind. Did you know last
night that he was going?"
"Yes."
"I shall never forgive you. Never,
never! You knew and did not tell
me. Do you know who Paul Ellison j
is? He is the brother of the man
at home. You knew he was stealing j
away and did not tell me."
She could not have made the truth
any plainer to him. He sat back in i
his chair, stunned, voiceless.
"I am going to my room," she said.
"Do not follow. Please act as if noth- j
ing had happened."
He saw her walk bravely the length
of the dining-room, out into the office
What a misfortune! Argument was
out of the question. Elsa was not a
child, to be reasoned with. She was a
woman, and she bad come to a worn
an'a understanding of her heart. Tc i

He pushed back his chair, leaving his
coffee untasted.
He possessed the deep understand
ing of the kindly heart, and his one
thought was Elsa's future happiness
Could he save her from the day when
she would learn Romance had come
from within? No. All he could dc
was to help find the man.
He sent five cablegrams to Saigon
to the consulate, to the principal ho
tels—the most difficnlt composition he
had ever attacked. But because he
had forgotten to send the sixth tc
meet the packet boat, against the pos'
sibility of Warrington changing his
mind and not landing, his labor was
thrown to the winds.
Meantime Elsa stopped at the office
desk. "I left a note for Mr. Warring
ton who has gone to Saigon. I see
it in his key box. Will you please re
turn it to me?"
The clerk did not hesitate an in
stant. He cravelv returned the note
•to her, marveling at her paleness.
Elsa crushed the note in her hand and
moved toward the stairs, wondering
If she could reach her room before she
broke down utterly. He had gone. He
had gone without knowing that all
he wanted in life was his for the tak
ing. In her room she opened the note
and through blurred vision read what
she had so happily inscribed the
night before "Paul —I love you. Come
to me. Elsa." She had written It,
unashamed.
She flung herself upon the bed, and
there Martha found her.
