May Cherries
"May cherries are on the market,"
says the market news but it does not
go into details. If it did and if it
was truthful, it would read like this,
"May cherries are on the market but
they are not evenly ripened and are
somewhat too sour for pleasurable
eating."
Yet this first fresh fruit is eagerly
purchased by cherry lovers and there
are many ways it may be ustd in and
be enjoyed.
Of course we think first of cherry
pie. Who does not when it is so full
of flavor and juicy and good to the
eye and taste?
Make the paste -writh plenty of
shortening and line a heavy pie tin
or baking dish with it; fill with the
cherries; sweeten generously and cover
with the top paste. Pinch the edges
close together and decorate the tops
with fancy slits. Bake until it is well
colored. The best cherries for pie are
a mixture of sour and sweet ones; as
they become plentiful remember this.
When serving cherry pie have it
warm but not not and sift powdered
sugar over the top.
If you have but a few cherries,
perhaps only a supful, you can make a
cherry pudding that will serve four and
not seem to stint them over this recipe.
Cut a loaf of stale bread into slices,
remove the crust and butter the bread.
You should have one slice for each
person to be served. Place bread in
buttered baking dish and cover with a
raw custard mixture made with one
quart of milk, one cup of sugar, three
beaten eggs and the stoned cherries.
Tfutter enough more sliced bread to
cover over top. Set the baking dish
in a pan of water and place in oven,
cover and bake forty-five minutes and
then uncover and brown. Eat with a
hot sweet sauce.
Cherry cobbler is like strawberry
shortcake—the last word in good eat

Sensibly I restored tbe lanthorn to
Its place Inside the window nnd waited
for the mysterious voice to resume.
"Are .voti so homely hs all that?" I
demanded when the shadowy face
looked out once more. Very clever of
me. 1 thought. .
"I am considered rather good look
ing." she replied serenely. "Please
don't 1 do that again, it was very rude
of you, Mr. Smart."
"Oh, I've seen something of you be
fore this." 1 said. "You have long,
beautiful brown hair—and a (log."
She was silent.
"I am sure you will pardon me tf I
Tery politely ask who you are?" i
went on.
"That question takes me back to the
favor. Will you be so very, very kind
as to cease bothering we. Air. Smart?
It Is dreadfully upsetting, don't you
know, feeling that at any moment you
may rush In and"— "
"I like that. In my own castle too!"
"There Is ample room for both of us.«'
she said sharply. "1 shau't be here
for more than a month or six weeks,
and I am sure we can get along very
amiably under the same roof for that
length of time if you'll only forget that
I am here."
"1 can't very well do that, madam.
You see, we are making extensive re
pairs about the place, nnd you are
proving to be a serious obstacle. 1 can
not grant your request. It will grieve
me enormously if I am compelled to
smoke you out. but I fear"—
"Smoke me out!"
"Perhaps with sulphur," I went on
resolutely. "It is said to be very ef
fective."
"Surely you will not do anything so
horrid."
"Only as a last resort. First we shall
storm the east wing. Failing in that,
we shall rely on smoke. Yon will ad
mit that you have no right to poach on
my preserves."
"None whatever," she said rather
plaintively.
1 can't remember having heard a
sweeter voice than hers. Of course by
this time I was thoroughly convinced
that she was a lady, a cultured, high
bred lady, and an American.
That plaintive note In her voice serv
ed Its purpose. My firmness seemed
to dissolve, even as I sought to re-en
force it by an injection of harshness
Into my own manner of speech
"Then yon should be willing to va
rate my premises -er—or"-here is
where I began to show irresoluteness—
"or explain yourself."
"Won't you be generous?"
I cleared my throat nervously. How

irmor!
"1 am willing to be—amenable to rea-

iwn. That's all you ought to expect."
A fresh Idea took root. "Can't we ef
fect a compromise—a truce, or some
thing of the sort? All i ask Is that
you explain your presence here. I will
promise to be as generous as possible
under the circumstances."
"Will you give me three days In
which to think It over?" she asked,
after a long pause.
"No."
"Well, two days?"
"I'll give you until tomorrow after
noon at 5, when 1 shall expect you to
receive me In persoft."
"That Is quite Impossible."
"Rut I demand the right to go wher
ever 1 please in my own castle. You"—
"If you knew Just how circumspect
1 am obliged to be at present you
wouldn't Impose such terms, Mr.
Smart."
"Oh. circumspect! That puta a new
light on the case. What have jou been
up to. madaine?" 1 spoke very severely.
She very properly Ignored tbe banali
ty. "If 1 should write you a nice,
agreeable letter, explaining ns much
as 1 can. wou t .von be satlstiedY"
"I prefer to have it oy word ot
mouth."
Sbe seemed to be considering. "1
will come to this window tomorrow
night at this time and -aud let you
know," she said reluctantly.
"Very well,' said 1. "We'll let It resj
till then."
"And, by the way. I have something
more,to ask of you. Is it quite neces
sary to have all this pounding and
hammering uolng on in tbe castle'/ The
noise Is dreadful. 1 don't ask It on my
own account, but for the baby. You
see. she's quite 111 with a fever, Mr.
Smart. Perhaps you've heurd ber cry
ing.'
"The baby?" I muttered.
"It Is nothing serious, of coarse. The
doctor was here today and he reas
sured me"
"A—a doctor here today?" I gasped.
She laughed once more. Verily, It
was u gentle, high bred laugh.
"Will you please put a stop to tlie
noise for a day or two?" she naked
very prettily.
"Certainly," said t, too surprised to
say anything else. "Is—ls there any
thing else?"
"Nothing, thank you," she replied.
Then: "Good night Mr. Smart You
are very good."
"Don't forget tomorrow"—
Rut the oblong aperture disappear

self staring at tbe blank, apbinxlike
wall.
CHAPTER V.
I Become an Ancestor.
TRUK to the promise sbe bad ex
tracted from me. I laid off my
workmen the next morning.
They trooped In bright and
early, considerably augmented by fresh
recruits, who came to share tbe bene
fits of my innocuous prodigality, and
if 1 live to be a thousand I shall never
ugalu experience such a noisome half
hour as the one I spent In listening to
their indignant protests against ray
tyrannical oppression of the poor and
needy. In the end 1 agreed to pay
tbem. one and all. for a full day's
work, and they went away mollified,
calling me h true gentleman to my face
and heaven knows what to my back.
Punctually at 0 o'clock that evening
1 was In the balcony, thanking m.v
lucky stars that It was a bright moon
lit nigbt. There was every reason to
rejoice in the prospect of seeing ber
face clearly when she appeared at ber
secret little window. But she wore a
white, filmy veil. I naturally conclud
ed that she was homely.
"Good evening." she said on opening
the window.
"Good evening." said I. contriving to
coßfenl my disappointment "How is
tbe baby?"
"Very much better, thank you. It
was so good of you to stop tbe work
men."'
"Won't yon take off your veil and
stay awhile?" I asked, politely face
tious. "It Is not quite fair to me, yon
know."
Her next remark brought a blush of
confusion to my cheek. A silly notion
had Induced me to don my full even
ing regalia, splketail coat and all.
Nothing could h-ive been more Indl
trously incongruous thnn my appear
ance, I am sure, and 1 never felt more
uncomfortable In my life.
"How very nice you look In your new
suit," she said, and 1 was aware of a
muffled quality In ber ordinarily clear,
musical voice. She was laughing at
me. "Are you giving a dinner party?"
"I usually dress for dinner," 1 lied
with some haughtiness. "And so does
Poopendyke." 1 added rs an after
thought. My blush deepened hs I re
called tbe attenuated blazer In which
my secretary breakfasted, lunched and
dined without discrimination.
"For Gretel's benefit I presume."
"Aha! You do know Gretel. then?"
"Oh. I've known her for years. Isn't
■be a quaint old dear?"
"I shall discharge her in tbe morn
ing," said 1 severely. "Sbe is a liar,
and her husband Is a poltroon. They
positively deny your existence in any
shape or form."
"They won't pay any attention to
you," said she. with a laugh. "They
are fixtures, quite as mucb so as the
walls themselves. You'll not be able
to discharge them. My grandfather
tried it fifty yenrs ago and failed.
After that he made It a point to dls
miss Conrad every day In the year and
Gretel every other day. As well try to
remove the mountain, Mr. Smart
They know you can't get on without
them."
"I have discharged ber as a cook,"
I said triumphantly. "A new one will
be here by the end of the week."
"Oh." she algbed plaintively, "bow
glad I am! She Is an atrocioua cook.
I don't like to complain, Mr. Smart, but
really it Is getting so that I can't eat
anything she sends up. It Is jolly of
you to get In a new one. Now we
shall be very happy."
"By Jove!" said I. completely stag
gered by these revelationa.
"1 have thought It over, Mr. Smart"
she went on in a businesslike manner,
"and 1 believe we will get along mucb
better together If we stay apsrt"
Ambiguous remarks ordinarily reach
my Intelligence, but 1 was so stunned
by preceding admissions that I could
only gasp: 1
"Do von mean to say you've been
subsisting all tills time on my food?"
"Oh. dear me. no! How can you
tblnk that of me? Gretel merely cooks
tbe food I buy. She keeps a distinct
and separate account of every thing,
poor thing. I am sure you will not
And anything wrong with your bills,
Mr. Smart. Hut did you bear what I
said a moment ago?"
"I'm quite sure that I did."
"1 prefer to let mutters stand Just
•s they are. Why should we discom
mode each other? We ure perfectly
satisfied as we"—
"I will not have my new cook giving
notice, madam You surely can't ex
pect her—or him—to prepare meals for
two separate"—
"I hadn't thought of that" sbe inter
rupted ruefully. "Perhaps If 1 were
to pay ber—or him—extra wages It
would be all right." she added quickly.
"We do not require mucb. you know."
I laughed rather shortly—meanly, I
fear
"This Is most extraordinary, ma
dame!"
"I—l quite agree with you. I'm aw
fully sorry It had to turn out as it has. .
Who would have dreamed of your buy
ing the place and coming here to up
set everything?"
I resolved to be firm with her. Sbo
seemed to be taking too mucb for
grunted. "Mucb as I regret it. madame, '
1 nra compelled to ask you to evac
uate—to get out. In fact This sort of
thing can't go on."
Shu was silent for so long that I
experienced a slow growth of compunc
tion. Just as 1 was on the point ot
slightly receding from my position,
she gave mo another shock.
"Don't you think It would be awfully
convenient If you had a telephone put
In, Mr. Smart?" she said. "It is such
a nuisance to seod Max or Rudolph
over to town every whipstitch on er
rands when a telephone—ln your name,
of course—would be so mucb more sat
isfactory."
"A telephone!" I gasped.
"Circumstances make it quite nnwlse
for me to have a telephone in my
own name, but you could have one In
yours without creating the least sus
picion. You aw"—
"Madame!" 1 cried and got no fur
ther.
"perfectly free to have a telephone
If you wutit «>:ie." she continued. "The
