Burying the High Cost of Living
It is not possible to estimate tliei
value of food raised in kitchen gar-|
dens but it is safe to say that a well;
kept garden will materially lower thei
<-ost of provisions. It has been esti
mated by government experts that one
hp If acre of ground planted with garden
< rops will easily yield a family one
hundred dollars worth of vegetables at
the end of the year. There is more to
lie considered in the making and having!
of a garden than is at first apparent; j
the fact that the vegetables can be se
cured at a moment's notice is important
but that they are always fresh, that
they give a variety of food and that a
kitchen garden interests the entire fam
ily is the greatest consideration.
Few city dwellers can have as much ;
us half an acre to cultivate but it is!
wonderful how intense cultivation and
careful use of fertilizer will enable one
to grow a quantity of food stuff in a
very small space.
Success depends much upon knowing;
what, when and where to plant. It is
true economy to buy the very best seeds
from reliable sources; radishes, lettuce, I
Jieets, spinach, tomatoes, peas, cucum-!
Iters, sweet corn and onions may be all,
you have room for. They will all grow
thriftily if rightly planted and given a|
fair chance.
For a planting table write to Agricul
tural Department. Washington, I). 0.,|

help contains suggestions that the ama
teur will appreciate and the experienced!

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question. —"How is perfumed starch
made, please? I cannot afford to buy
perfumes but like a delicate odor in
linen articles."
Reply.—Put a bag of powdered orris
root in the lust rinsing water or the
flowers of lavender or other sachet flow
ers in a bag and boil with the starch.
Perfumed paratline is not expensive and
it is added to the starch while it is
being made. The best way, however,
to perfume garments is to put bags j
of sachet in drawers and closets.
* •» *
Question. —"Some time ago vou told |
how to mend articles with tire tape and
adhesive plaster. Can this be had in
black and would it mend a raincoat
and where is it purchasedt"
Keplv.—Yes to both queries, but why
not buy the mending tissue at the no
tion counter of any dry goods store? j
Adhesive plaster is bought at the drug
store, tire tape from the bicycle shop.
•* # *
Question. —"Please tell me what i
celariac is and how it is cooked?"
Reply.—This vegetable is like celery j
but is always cooked. Boil it in salted j
water first, then dress with a butter
sauce. It is also used in soups and is
fried and escalloped.

Question. —"Kindly tell me the most

CONTINUED I Knowing it. Madame a ttscugnac, wm
rut Sfebroh was nair-way flown tne
stairs. The door was open, and on the
porch he heard distinctly a thlrfl ten
derly pathetic wall.
• •••»•»
That evening the Marquise d'Escll
i gnac read aloud to her niece the news
that the Count de Sabron was not com
ing to dinner, lie was "absolutely des
i olated" and had no words to express
i his regret and disappointment. The
pleasure of dining with them both, a
; pleasure to which he had looked for
: ward for a fortnight, must be re
nounced because he was obliged to
sit up with a very sick friend, as there
was no-one else to take his place. In
expressing his undying devotion and
his renewed excuses he put his homage
at their feet and kissed their hands.
The Marquise d'Esclignac, wearing
another very beautiful dress, looked up
at her niece, who was playing at the
piano.
"A very poor excuse, my dear Julia,
and a very late one."
"It sounds true, however. I believe
him, don't you, ma tante?"
"I do not," said the marquise em
phatically. "A Frenchman of good
education is not supposed to refuse a
dinner Invitation an hour before he 1b
expected. Nothing but a case of life
and death would excuse it."
"He says a 'very sick friend.'"
"Nonsense," exclaimed the marquise.
Miss Uedmond played a few bars of
the tune Sabron had hummed and
which more than once had soothed
Pitchoune, and which, did she know,
Sabron was actually humming at that
moment.
"I am rather disappointed," said the
young girl, "but if we find it is a mat
ter of life and death, ma tante, we
will forgive him?"
The Marquise d'Esclignac had in
vited the Count de Sabron because she
j had been asked to do so by his colo-
I nel, who was an old and valued friend
I She had other plans for her niec.
"I feel, my dear,' she answered her !
now, "quite safe in promising that if It
Is a question of life and death we shall
forgive him. I shall see his colonel
tomorrow and ask him pointblank." |
Miss Redmond rose from the piano
and came over to her aunt, for dinner
had been announced.
"Well, what do you think," she
; slipped her hand in her aunt's arm,
"really, what do you think could be
| the reason?'
j "Please don't ask me," exclaimed j
| the Marquise d'Esclignac impatient- :
i ly. "The reasons for young men's ca
| prices are sometimes just as well
not inquired into."
If Sabron, smoking In his bachelor
! quarters, lonely and disappointed,
j watching with an extraordinary fideli
| ty by his "sick friend," could have
I seen the two Indies at their grand soli- j
[ ttry dinner, his unfilled place between
j them, he might have felt the picture
charming enough to have added to his
collection.
CHAPTER IV.
The Dog Pays.
Pitchoune repaid what was given
him.
He did not think that by getting l
well, reserving the right for the rest j
of his life to a distinguished limp in
his right leg, that he had done all that
was expected of him. He developed
an ecstatic devotion to the captain,
impossible for any human heart ade
quately to return. He followed Sab
ron like a shadow and when he could {
not follow him, took his place on a i
chair in the window, there to sit, his i
sharp profile against the light, his
pointed ears forward, watching for the j
uniform he knew and admired extrav
agantly.
Pitchoune was a thoroughbred, and
every muscle and fiber showed it, |
every hair and point asserted it, and
he loved as only thoroughbreds can.
>ou may say what you like about mon
grel attachments, the thoroughbred in
all case? reserves his brilliancy for i
crises
Sabron, who had only seen Miss
Redmond twice and thought about her
countless times, never quite forgave i
his friend for the illness that kept him !
from the chateau. There was in Sab
ron's mind, much as he loved Pit
choune, the feeling that if he had gone i
that night . . .
There was never another invitation! !
"Voyons, mon cher," his colonel i
had said to him kindly the next time 1
he met him, "v.-hat stupidity have you
been guilty of at the Chateau d'Escll- i
gnac?"
Poor Sabron blushed and shrugged !
his shoulders.

is a very clever woman, asked me with
interest and sympathy, who your 'very
sick friend' could be. As no one was
very sick according to my knowledge
I told her so. She seemed triumphant
and I saw at once that I had put you
in the wrong."
It would have been simple to have
explained to the colonel, but Sabron,
reticent and reserved, did not choose
to do so. He made a very Insufficient
excuse, and the colonel, aB well as the
marquise, thought ill of him. He
learned later, with chagrin, that his
friends were gone from the Midi.
Rooted to the spot himself by his du
ties. he could not follow them. Mean
while Pitchoune thrived, grew, cheered
his loneliness, jumped over a stick,
learned a trick or two from Brunet and
a great many fascinating wiles and
ways, no doubt Inherited from his
moth He had a sense of humor
truly -,h, a power of devotion that
we designate as "canine," no doubt be
cause no member of the human race
has ever deserved it.
CHAPTER V.
The Golden Autumn.
Sabron longed for a change with au
tumn, when the falling leaves made
the roads golden roundabout the Cha
teau d'Esclignac. He thought he
would like to go away. He rode his
horse one day up to the property of
the hard-hearted unforgiving lady and,
finding the gate open, rode through
the grounds up to the terrace. Seeipg;
no one, he sat in his saddle looking
over the golden country to the Rhone
and the castle of the good King Rene,
where the autumn mists were like ban
ners floating from towers.
There was a solitary beauty around
the lovely place that spoke to the
young officer with_a sweet melancholy.
He fancied that Miss Redmond must
often have looked out from one of the
windows, and he wondered which one.
The terrace was deserted and leaves
from the vines strewed it with red and
golden specters. Pitchoune raced after
them, for the wind started them flying,
and he rolled his tawny little body
over and over in the rustliug leaves.
Then a rabbit, which before the ar
rival of Sabron had been sitting com
fortably on the terrace stones, scut
tled away like mad, and Pitchoune,
somewhat hindered by his limp, tore
after it.
The deserted chateau, the fact that,
there was nothing in his military life
oeyona the routine to interest him
now In Tarascon. made Sabron eagerly
look forward to a change, and he
waited for letters from the minister of
war *hich would send him to a new
post.
The following day after his visit to
the chateau ne took a walk. Pitchoune
at his heels, and stood aside in the
highroad to let a yellow motor pass
him, but £he yellow motor at that mo
ment drew up to the side ot the road
while the chauffeur got out to adjust
some portion of the mechanism Some
one leaned trom the yellow motor win
dow and Snhrnn came torward to
speaK to tne iuarau*>se a mscngnac
and another lady by her side.
"How do you do, Monsieur? Do you
remember us?"
(Had he ever forgotten them?) He
regretted so very much not having
been able to dine with them in the
spring.
"And your sick friend?" asked
Madame d'Esclignac keenly, "did he
recover?"
"Yes," said Sabron, and Miss Red
mond, who leaned forward, smiled at
1 him and extended her pretty hand.
Sabron opened the motor door.
"What a darling dog!" Miss Red
mond cried. "What a bewitching face
ho has! He's an Irish terrier, isn't
he?"
Sabron called Pitchoune, who di
verted his attention from the chauf
feur to come and be hauled up by the
collar and presented. Sabron shook
off his reticence.
"Let me make a confession," he
said with a courteous bow. "This is
my 'very sick friend.' Pitchoune was
at the point of death the night of your
Stood Aside to Let a Motor Pass Him.
dinner and I was just leaving the
house when I realized that the help
less little chap could not weather the
breeze without me. He had been run
over by a bicycle and he needed some
very special care."
Miss Redmond's hand was on Pit
chniino'a hand between hi* no In ted
ears, sue looked sympathetic. sne
looked amused. She smiled.
"It was a question of 'life and death,'
wasn't it?" she said eagerly to Sabron.
"Really, it was just that," answered
the young officer, not knowing how
significant the words were to the two
ladies.
Then Madame d'Escllgnac knew that
she was beaten and that she owed
something and was ready to pay. The
chauffeur got upon his seat and she
asked suavely:
"Won't you let us take you home,
Monsieur Sabron?"
He thanked them. He was walking
and had not finished his exercise.
"At all events," she pursued, "now
that your excuse is no longer a good
one, you will come' this week to din
ner, wilL you not?"
He would, of course, and watched
the yellow motor drive away in the
autumn sunlight, wishing rather less
for the order from the minister of war
to change his quarters than he had
before.
CHAPTER VI. t
Ordered Away,
He had received his letter from the
minister of war. Like many things
we wish for, set our hopes upon, when
they come we find that we do not want
them at any price. The order was un
welcome. Sabron was to go to Al
giers.
Winter is never very ugly around
Tarascon. Like a lovely bunch of fruit
in the brightest corner of a happy
vineyard, the Midi is sheltered from
the rude experiences that the seasons
know farther north. Nevertheless,
rains and winds, sea-born and vig
orous, had swept in and upon the lit
tle town. The mistral came whis
tling and Sabron, from his window,
looked down on his little garden from
which summer had entirely flown. Pit
choune, by his side, looked down as
well, but his expression, different from
his master's, was ecstatic, for he saw
sliding along the brick wall, a cat with
which he was on the most excited
terms. His body tense, his ears for
ward, he gave a sharp series of barks
and little soft growls, while his
master tapped the window-pane to the
tune of Miss Redmond's song.
