TALKS
Henrietta D. Grauel
"Who Said Chicken?"
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.

| cleaned. 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. I'nless gloves are sold with a
guarantee it is not likely any restitu
tion will be made.

OOHTXKUBD I Madame ae la Mtim point pa witn
The weird muaic filled the alienee ot
the silent place. 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."

"Tell me. 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

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.
"rnrougnout our cmiahooa, until i
was sixteen, we teased each other
and fought and quarreled."
"This is not a # love-affair, Therese,"
