She was not very strong and there were many duties to take up her time, so. though a good dinner in the shape of a plump young cockerel was run ning around tin? yard, she turned to the tinned foods in the pantry. Why? Because she had never learned to draw a fowl and dreaded the process. Th is condition of affairs is not un common; many women would prefer any other work to that ot' dressing poultry, yet the task is not so unpleas ant if correctly done. 111 The bird should be plucked and singed. (21 Out tlie logs off below the knees so the tlesh will not be pnlled back from the «*ids, then cut the neck off near the body and draw out the gullet and the windpipe and pull the neck free from them. (3) Make a shallow incision in the abdomen near the vent and slip the fingers, then the hand, in and work the viscera free by running the fingers around the body wall. As the entrails come out the lungs will tear and the shreds of these and the kidneys will adhere to the back. These must be removed separately. Then the crop and the remainder of the viscera will come out in a mass. The intestines will still be attached to the vent and both these may be cut awav wixh a sharp, pointed knife. The giblets are the heart, gizzard, liver and neck. The gall is fastened to the liver. It is a small green sack and if the liquid in it escapes it will embitter all it touches. To be sure that this gall sack does not break cut away some of the liver with it. The gizzard must be opened, emptied of the gravel sack and thoroughly Reason For Cheaper and Better Coal The wholesale coal firms on April Ist re duced the price 50c per ton on all domestic sizes of coal, except Pea and Buckwheat. They did this so that the consumer would buy this year's supply of coal before next winter. This enables them to operate their mines during the summer months. Should every person wait until they need the coal it would be impossible to mine it fast enough and some localities would suffer. Coal bought now is better because there is no need to rush the orders, therefore more care is taken. It will pay you big in money and in qual ity to buy now. You save more than 10 per cent.

All the giblets should be washed in running water, and the j chicken should have water run through 'it after it is dressed. Never allow the I fowl to soak in water as this draws out the flavor and much of the natural I juices. A small stiff brush is the best thing ;to use to clean the outside of the chicken -after it is plucked and singed. One cannot be too particular about this as chickens are not cleanly feeders and their skin is always dirty. Storage birds sold on markets with ithe entrails in them are unfit for food and discriminating housekeepers will not use them. To have chicken at its best feed a healthy lively bird for a week, then have it killed quickly and humanely, dress it at once. After it is dresed. chill it for an hour or two and then cook it. The custom of bleeding chickens, practiced by market men and Chinese, may. perhaps, make the tlesh somewhat whiter but it does not seem necessary to ordinary housekeepers. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question. —"I purchased a pair of rubber gloves for kitchen use and after using them a few times they became very soft and sticky: what can I do about this? Troubled." Reply.—lf you did not put the gloves in too hot water or let them soak in oil I cannot think of any reason why they should be as you describe them. Return them to the firm you bought them of and if you are sim» you are not to blame for the defect demand another pair.

It had the evanescent quality of the wind that brought the breath of the sand-flowera. The voices of the Arabs, not unmuaical, though hoarse and appealing, cried out their lore-song, and then the muaic turned to Invocation and to prayer. The two women listened silently as the night fell, their figures sharply outlined in the beautiful clarity of the eastern night. Julia stood upright. In her severe riding dress, she wss as Vender as a boy. She remained looking toward the horiion. Immovable, patient, a ailent watcher over the uncommunicative waste. "Perhape." she thought, "there is nothing really beyond that line, so fast blotting itself into night—and yet I seem to see them come!" Madame de la Maine, in the door of her tent, immovable, her hands clasped around her kneea. look affec tionately at the young girl before her. Julia was a delight to her. She waa carried away by her, by her frank sim plicity. and drawn to her warm and generous heart Madame de la Maine had her own story. She wondered whether ever, for any period of her conventional life, she could have thrown everything aside and stood out with the man she loved. Julia, standing before her. a dark ellm figure in the night—isolated and alone—recalled the figurehead of a ship, its face toward heaven, pioneer ing the open seas. • •••••• Julia watched, indeed. On the desert there is the brilliant day, a passionate glow, and the nightfall. They passed the nights sometimes listening for a cry that should hail an approaching caravan, sometimes hearing the wild cry of the hyenas, or of a passing vul ture on his horrid flight. Otherwise, until the camp stirred with the dawn and the early prayer-call sounded "Al lah! Allah! Akbar!" into the still ness, they were wrapped in complete silence. CHAPTER XXIII. Two Love Stories, If It had not been for her absorbing thought of Sabron. Julia would have reveled in the desert and the new ex periences. As it was, its charm and magic and the fact that he traveled over it helped her to endure the inter val. In the deep impenetrable silence she seemed to hear her future speak to her. She believed that it would either be a wonderfully happy one, or a hope lessly withered life. "Julia. I cannot ride any farther!" exclaimed the comtesse. She was an excellent horsewoman and had ridden all her life, but her riding of late had consisted of a can ter in the Bols de Boulogne at noon, and it was sometimes hard to follow Julia s tireless gallops toward an erer disappearing goal. ■Forgive me." said Miss Redmond, and brought her horse up to her friend's side. It was the cool of the day, of the fourteenth day since Tremont had left Algiers and the seventh day of Julia's excursion. A fresh wind blew from the west, lifting their veils from their helmets and bringing the fragrance of the mimosa into whose scanty forest they had ridden. The sky paled to ward sunset, and the evening star, second in glory only to the moon, hung over the west. Although both women knew per fectlv well the reason for this excur sion and its importance, not one word had been spoken between them of Sabron and Tremont other than a natural interest and anxiety. They might have been two hospital nurses awaiting their patients. They halted their horses, looking over toward the western horiion and its mystery. "The star shines over their caravan," mused Madame de la Maine (Julia had not thought Therese poetical), "as though to lead them home." Madame de la Maine turned her face and Julia saw tears in her eyes. The Frenchwoman's control was usually perfect, she treated most things with mocking gavety. The bright softness of her eyee touched Julia. "Therese!" exclaimed the Ameri can girl. "It is only fourteen days!" Madame de la Maine laughed. There was a break In her voice. "Only four teen days," she repeated, "and any one of those days may mean death!" She threw back her head, touched her stallion, and flew away like light, and it was Julia who first drew rein. "Therese! Therese! We cannot go any farther!" "Lady!" said Azrael. He drew his big black horse up beside them. "We must go back to the tents."

Julia, of Monsieur de Sabron," asked Madame de la Maine abruptly. "There Is nothing to tell. Therese." "You don't trust me?" "Do you think that really?" In the tent where Axrael served them their meal, under the celling of Turkish red with Its Arabic charac ters in clear white. Julia and Madame de la Maine sat while their coffee was served them by a Syrian servant. "A girl does not come into the Sa hara and watch like a sentinel, does not suffer ss you have suffered, ma chere. without there being something to tell." \ "It is true," said Miss Redmond, "and would you be with me, Therese. If I did not trust yoh? And what do you want me to tell?" she sdded naively. The comtesse laughed. "Vous etes charmante. Julia!" '1 met Monsieur de Sabron," said Julia slowly, "not many months ago In Tarascon. 1 saw htm several times, and then he went away." "And then?" urged Madame de la Maine eagerly. "He left his little dog. Pitehoune, with" me, and Pitehoune ran after his master tn Mnrsel'loß. flinging himself into the water, and was rescued oy the sailors. I wrote about It to Mon sieur de Sabron. and he answered ma from the desert, the night before ha went Into battle." "And that's all?" urged Madame do la Maine. "That's all," said Miss Redmond, She drank her coffee. "You tell a lovo story very badly, ma chore." "la It a love story?" "Have you come to Africa for char ity? Voyons!" Julia was silent. A great reservo seemed to seize her heart, to stifle her as the poverty of her love story struck her. She eat turning her cof fee-spoon between her fingers, her eyes downcast. She had very little to tell. She might never have any more to tell. Yet this was her love story. But the presence of Sabron At Night They Sat Out In the Moon light. was so real, and she saw his eyes clearly looking upon her as she had seen them often; heard the sound of his voice that meant but one thing— and the words of his letter came back to her. She remembered her letter to him, rescued from the field where h« had fallen. She raised her eyes to the Comtesse de la Maine, and there was an appeal in them. The Frenchwoman leaned over and kissed Julia. She asked nothing more. She had not learned her lessons in discretion to no purpose. At night they sat out in the moon light, white as day, and the radiance over the sands was like the snow flowers. Wrapped in their warm cov erings. Julia and Therese de la Maine lay on the rugs before the door of their tent, and above their heads shone the stars so low that it seemed as though their hands could snatch them from the sky. At a little dis tance their servants sat around the dying Are, and there came to them the plaintive song of Azrael, as £e led their singing: And who can give again the love of yes terday? Can a whirlwind replace the sand after It Is scattered? What can heal the heart that Allah has smitten? Can the mirage form again when there are no eyes to jee? "I im married," said Madame de la Maine, "when I was sixteen." Julia drew a little nearer and smiled to herself In the .shadow. This would be a real lore story. "I bad just come out of the con vent We lived in an old chateau, older than the history' of your coun try, ma chere. and I had no dot Rob ert de Tremont and I used to play to gether in the allees of the park, on the terrace. When his mother brought him over when she called on my grandmother, he teased me horribly because the weeds grew between the stones of our terrace, fte was very rude.
