Grauel Making the Frozen Dessert Desserts are perfect when they har monize with the foods they follow. They should always be delicate and served in highest degree of attractive ness and must not be too rich to be enjoyed nor too dainty to satisfy the appetite if it is still keen. For the next few months those who possess a reliable freezer will have no difficulty in choosing appropriate des serts, for when frozen and nicely served the simplest combination of fruits and flavors becomes an excellent ending to any dinner. The newest freezers are easily op erated and freeze desserts so quickly one scarcely misses the time it takes. It certainly is pleasanter to make a frozen dainty than to prepare a boiled or baked one in warm weather. There are a few things to remember, for instance the gearing of the freezer should be well oiled; the ice should be crushed until fine and to every three measures of ice you must have one measure of coarse salt. If you are mak ing sorbets, bombes and parfaits there must be equal amount of salt and ice. After you have made the cream and frozen it the dasher in the can should be removed and all the cream that ad heres to the sides of the can be scraped down and pressed into a firm mass. Cork the hole in the can lid and cover with ice and a blanket and let it stand to season. Perhaps you wish to mold the cream, for this you can use one pound baking powder tins if you have no regular mold. The tin must be chilled; press PEEVISH.

The Coroner said the wound was self-inflicted by Cowl at the home of Arthur DelForrest Wheeler, in Stratford, where Cowl had gone to visit his fiancee, Miss Emily Wheeler, and that 'Miss Wheeler had nothing to do with the death. Several tests made by him with the ribbon which Cowl had attached to an automatic pistol hidden under his coat, and the other end of which he had asked Miss Wheeler to pull, prom ising her a surprise, t ! hc Coroner said, convinced him that Miss Wheeler, even though she pulled the riibbon, could not have discharged the weapon, and that the shot was fired by Cowl him self. In none of the tests, said the ' Coroner, was he able to discharge tlhe pistol by means of the riibbon. Medical Examiner Garlick also filed his finding in the case with the Cor oner yesterday, saying that death was deliberately self-inflicted, and that Cowl probably was mentally deranged at the time.

CONTINUED "The public taste la changing," I In terrupted quickly: "Unhappy mar riages are so common nowadays that the women who go Into 'em are always heroines. People like to read about suffering and anguish among the rich, too. Besides, you are a countess. That puts you near the first rank among heroines. Don't you think It would be proper at this point to tell me who you are?" She regarded me steadfastly for a moment, and then shook her head. "I'd rather not tell you my name, Mr. Smart. It really can't matter, you know. I've thought It all out very carefully, and I've decided that It Is not best for you to know. You see If you don't know who It is you are shel tering the courts can't hold you to ac count. You will be quite Innocent of deliberately contriving to defeat the law. "No, I shall not tell you my name, nor my husband's, nor my father's. If you'd like to know, however. I wITI tell you my baby's name. She's two years old and I think she'll like you to call her Rosemary." By this time I was quite hypnotized by this charming, confident trespasser upon my physical—and I was about to say my moral estate. Never have I known a more complacent violator of all the proprieties of law and order as she appeared to be. She was a revela tion—more than that, she was an In spiration. What an exceedingly courageous, In dependent, fascinating little buccaneer she was! "Rosemary," I repeated. "And what am I to call you?" "Even my enemies call me countess," she said coldly. "Oh," said {. more respectfully. "I see. When am I to have the pleasure j of meeting the less particular Rose mary ?" "I didn't mean to be horrid," she said i plaintively. "Please overlook It. Mr. i Smart. If you are very, very quiet 1 think you may see her now. She Is j asleep." "I may frighten her if she awakes," I said in baste, remembering my an- [ tlpathy to babies. Nevertheless I was led through a couple of bare, unfurnished rooms Into j a sunny, perfectly; adorable nursery. A nursemaid—English, at a glance—arose from her 6eat in the window and held I a cautious finger to her lips. In the j middle of a bed that would have ac commodated an entire family, was the 1 sleeping Rosemary—a tiny, rosy cheek- | ed, yellow haired atom bounded on i four sides by yards of mattress. I stood over her timorously and stared. The countess put one knee 1 upon the mattress and, leaning far over, kissed a little paw. I blinked, like a confounded booby. Then we stole out of the room. "Isn't she adorable?" asked the countess when we were at a safe dis tance. "They all are." 1 said grudgingly, "when they're asleep." "You are horrid!" "By the way." I said sternly, "how does that bedstead happen to be a yard or so lower than any other bed in this entire castle? All the rest of them ar» so high one has to get into them from a chair." "Oh," she said complacently, "It was too high for Blake to manage con veniently, so I had Rudolph saw the legs off short." One of my very finest antique bed steads! But I didn't even groan a sin gle groan. "You will let me stay on, won't you, Mr. Smart?" she said wfyen we were at the fireplace again. "I am really so helpless, you know." I offered her everything that the cas tle afforded In the way of loyalty and luxury. "And we'll have a telephone In the main hall before the end of a week," I concluded beamingly. Her face clouded. "Oh, I'd much rather have It in my hallway. If you don't mind. You see, I can't very well go downstairs every time I went to use the phone, and It will be a nuis ance sending for me when I'm want ed." This was raiaer high handed. I thought. "But if no one knows you're here it seems to me you're not likely to be called." "You never can tell," she said mys terioup'y. 1 promised to put the Instrument In her hall and not to have nn extension to my rooms for fear of creating sus picion. Also the electric bell system was to be put. In Just as she wanted It to be and a lot of other things that do not seem to mme to mind at this mo ment. I left In a daze at half past 3 to send Britton up with all the late nov«U and ftiagaclnes. CHAPTER IX. I piaeusa Matrimony. AT 12 the next day I climbed the tortuous stairs leading to the 1 countess' apartments. She opened the door heraelf. "1 neglected to mention yesterday that 1 am expecting a houaeful. of guests in a day or two," I" said after she bad given me • very cordial greet ing. , "Goeats?" she cried In dismay. "Oh, dear; can't you put them off?" "I have hopes that they won't be able to stand the workmen banflng around all day," I confessed, some what guiltily. "Womeu In the party t "Two I believe. Both married and qualified to express opinions." "They will be sure to nose me oat," she sold ruefully. "Women are dread ful nosers." "Don't worry," I said. "We'll get a lot of new padlocks 'for the doors downstair*, and you'll be as safe as can be if you'll only keep quiet" "But I don't see why I should be made to mope here all day and all night like it sick cat holding my hand over Rosemary's mouth when she wants to cry and muzzling poor Jinko so that he"— "M.v dear countess," I Interrupted sternly, "you should not forget that these other guests of mine are Invited here." "But I was here first," she argued. "It is most annoying." "1 believe you said yesterday that you nre in the habit of having your own way." She nodded her head. "Well, I am afraid you'll have to come down from your high horse—at least temporarily." "Oh, I see! You—you mean to be very Arm and domineering with me." "You must try to see things from my point of"— "Please don't say that!" she flared. "I'm so tired of hearing those words. For the last three years I've been comma uded to see things from some one else's point of view, and I'm sick of the expression." "For heaven's sake don't put me la the same boat with your husband!" She regarded me somewhat frigidly for a moment longer, and then a slow, witching smile crept into her eyes. "I shan't," she promised and laugh ed outright. "Do forgive me, Mr. Smart. I'll try to be nice and sensi ble. and I will be as still as a mouse all the time they're here. But you must promise to come np every day and give me the gossip." We fell into a discussion of present and future needs: of ways and means for keeping my friends utterly in the dark concerning her presence in the abandoned east wing. "I've been trying to recall all of the notnble marriages we had In New York three years ago,'" said I, after she had most engagingly reduced me to a state of subjection in the matter of three or four moot questions that came up for settlement. "You don't seem to fit In with any of the international af fairs 1 can bring to mind." "You promised you wouldn't bother about that. Mr. Smart" she said se verely. "Of course you were married In New York?" "In a very nice church Just off Fifth aveuue, if that will help you any," she said. "The usual crowd inside the church and the usual mob outside all fighting for a glimpse of me in my wedding shroud and for a chance to nee a real Hungarian noble aan. It really was u very magnificent wedding, Mr. Smart." She seemed to be unduly proud of the spectacular sacrifice. A knitted brow reveale'd the obfus cated condition of my brain. 1 was thinking very intently, not to say re motely. "Don't you read the newspapers?" she cried impatiently. She actually re sented by lguorance. "Religiously." 1 said, stung to revolt "But I make it a point never to read the criminal news." "Criminal news?" she gasped. "What do you mean?*' "It Is merely my way of saying that I put marriages of that character in the category of crime.'" "Oh!" she cried, staring at me with unbelieving eyes. "Every time a sweet, lovely Ameri can girl is delivered Into the hands of a foreign bounder who happens to possess a title that needs fixing I call the transaction a crime. You did not love this pusillanimous count, nor did he care a hang for you. You were too young In the ways of the world to have any feeling for him. and he was too old to have any for you. The whole hateful business therefore resolved It self Into a case of give and take—and he took everything. He took you and your father's millions and now you are both back where you began. Some one deliberately committed a crime, and as it wasn't you or the count—who levied his legitimate toll—it must have been the person who planned the conspir acy. I take it of course, that the whole affair was arranged behind your back, so to speak." Her face was quite pale. Her eyes did not leave mine during the long and craiy diatribe, of which I was already beginning to feel heartily ashamed, and there was a dark, ominous Are In them that should have warned me. She arose from her chair. It seemed to me she was taller than before. "If nothing else came to me out of this transaction.'* she said levelly, "at least a certain amount of dignity was acquired. Tray remember that I am no longer the_ unsophisticated.jirl you ao graciously describe. lam a woman. Mr. Smart" "True," said I. senselessly dogged, "a woman with the power to think for yourself. That is my_ point If the same situation arose it your present age I fancy you'd be able to select a husband without assistance, ana 1 ven ture to say you wouldn't pick up thi first dissolute nobleman that came your way. No, my dear countess, you wer« not to blame. You thought as your parents did, that marriage with a counl would make a real countess of you What rot! You are a simple, lovable American girl, and that's all there eve! cau be to It. To the end of your dayi Fou will be an American." We were both standing now. Sht was still measuring me vith somewhat incredulous eyes, rather more tolerunl than resentful. "Do you expect me to agree with you, Mr. Smart?" she asked. "I do," said I promptly. "You of all people should be able to testify thai my views are absolutely right." "They are right," she said simply. "Still you are pretty much of a brut! to insult me with them." "I most sincerely crave your par .don if It Isn't too late!" 1 cried, abjeel once more. (I don't know what get! into me once in awhile.) "Please, please don't say anything more about it. I daresay you've don« me a lot of good. Perhaps I shall set things a little more clearly. To be per fectly honest with you, I went into this marriage with my eyes wide open but I was only one fool among many. Dozens of other girls In my set were crazy to marry him. I—l haven't told you that he is extremely good looking. And he was—was adorable in those days." "Stranger things have happened than that you should patch up your difficul ties and (jo back to live with your hus band." She uttered a little cry of revulsion. "How dare you suggest such n thing How dare von speak to me in that wny! You— i ought to order you out of this room and never—never"— My luminous smile checked the out burst.
