"Indeed!"
"It Is very interesting. Mr. Smart

about the dinner last night. If I an
to believe wlmt she puts into her diarj
it must have been a delightful occa
slon. as the newspapers would say."
1 was somewhat mollitiod. "What die
she have to say about it, Fred?" I
asked. It always pleased him to b«
called Fred.
"That would be betraying a confi
dence," said he. "I will any this much
however—l think 1 wrote your minx
fifty times or more in conneetlor
with it."
"Rubbish!" snid I.
"Not at all," said he, with agreeabh
spirit.
A sudden chill came over me. "Sb<
Isn't figuring on having it published
Is she':"
"1 can't say as to that," was his dls
quieting reply. "It wasn't auy of mj
business, so 1 didn't ask."
"Oil." said 1, "1 see!"
"1 thiuk it Is safe to assume, how
ever, that It is not meant for publica
Hon," said he. "It strikes me as beinji
a bit too personal. There are parts ol
It that I don't believe she'd dare to pu;
Into print, although she reeled them oil
to me without so much as a blush
Ton my soul, Mr. Smart, 1 never was
so embarrassed in my life. She"—
"Never mind." I interrupted hastily
"Don't tell tales out of school."
He was silent for a moment, finger
Ing his big eyeglasses nervously. "II
may please yon to know that she think?
you are an exceedingly nice man."
"No. it doesn't!" 1 roared irascibly
"I'm blamed if I like being called an
exceedingly nice man."
"They were my words, sir, not hers,'
he explained desperately. "I was mere
ly putting two and two together-form
lng an opinion from her manner, not
from her words. She is very particu
lar to mention everything you do foi
her and thanks me if I call her atten
tion to anything she may have forgot
ten. She certainly appreciates youi
kindness to the baby."
"That is extremely gratifying." snid
I acidly.
He hesitated onee more. "Of course
you understand that the divorce itself
is absolute. It's only the matter of
the child that remains unset led. The"—
1 fairly barked a him. "What the
mischief do you mean by that, sir?
What has the divorce got to do
with it?"
"A great deal. I should say," said he,
with the rare, almost superhutnau pa
tience that has .made him so valuable
to me
"Upon ray soul!" was all that I
could say.
Hawkes rapped on the door luckily
at fhat Instant.
"The men from the telephone com
pany are here, sir, and the electricians.
Where are they to begin, sir?"
"Tell them to wait." said 1. Then 1
hurried to the top of the east wing to
ask if she had the least objection to
an extension phone being placed in my
study. She thought it would be very
nice, so I returned with instructions
for the men to put in three Instruments
—one In her room, one In mine and one
in the butler's pantry. It seemed a
very jolly arrangement all round. As
for the electric bell system, it would
speak for itself.
Toward the middle of the afternoon
when Mr. Poopendyke and I were hard
at work on my synopsis we were star
tled by a duil. mysterious pounding on
the wall hard by. We paused to listen.
It was quite impossible to locate the
sound, which ceased almost Immedi
ately. Our first thought was that the
telephone men were drilling a hole
through ihe wall into my study. Then
rame the sharp rat-a-ta-tat once more.
Even as we looked about us In bewil
derment the portly facade of Ludwig
the Bed moved out of alignment with
a heart rendlug squeak and a long thin
streak of black appeared at the inner
edge of the frame, growing wider—and
blacker if anything—before our startled
eyes.
"Are you at home?" Inquired a voice
that couldn't by any means have ema
nated from the chest of Ludwig, even
in bis mellowest hours.
I leapt'd to my feet and started across
the room with great strides. My sec
retary's eyes were glued to the magic
portrait.
"By Mie Lord Harry!" I cried. "Yes!"
The secret door swung quietly open,
laying I.udwig's face to the wall, and
in the aperture stood my amazing
neighbor, as lovely a portrait as you'd
see In a year's trip through all tin
galleries In the world. She was smll
lug down upon us from the slightly
elevated position, a charming figure ID
the very latest Parisian hat and gown
"I am out making afternoon calls,'
said she. Her face ws flushed with ex
cltement and self consciousness. "Will'
you please put a chair here so that l|
may bop down?"
For answer I reached up a pair of
valiant arms. She laughed, leaned for
ward and placed ber hands on my
shoulders. My bands found ber waist I
and I lifted ber gently, gracefully toj
the floor.
"How strong you are."" she said ad j
mirlngly. "How do you do. Mr. Poop

"What does this mean?" 1 cried

renely. "Max and Rudolph moved ev

"I'm sorry that 1 had the phone put

"Please don't call it a phone!" sin
objected. "I hate the word phone."

lessly.

j "isn't it jolly, Mr. Smart? If Mr j

I bowed very low "You may be

Au Gratin Dishes
One of the most nutritious combina
tions that we have is that of cheese
combined with vegetables ami known as
an gratin this, that anil the other.
All these dishes are of simple form
handsome appearance, ami have the ad
vantage of being made from the begin
ning or from left over cooked foods.
The • mode of preparing au gratin
dishes is this: All foods so dressed
must first be steamed, stewed or boiled
until tender. Then a baking dish is
rubbed with butter and the cereal or
the vegetable is arranged in it with
white sauce or with thickened milk or
rich gravy, plentiful sprinklings of
buttered crumbs and a jjenerons quan
tity of cheese nicely grated.
The great thing to avoid is having
the au gratin dishes too dry, yet there
may not be too much butter or the
flavor will be greasy, for the cheese
lias fat in it.
After the baking dish is filled, plnee
it in the oven and bake just long
enough to heat its contents thoroughly
and to brown it nicely over the toji.
The surface should present an even,
golden color and if the mixture is
browned until it begins to burn you
have not only spoiled the appearance of
the dish but have ruined the texture
and consistency of the cheese that is in
it. Too much heat or heat applied too
long makes cheese ropy, dry and tough.
Asparagus, celery, potatoes; in fact,
nearly all vegetables are liked au
gratin. Macaroni is wonderfully good
prepared so, and is popular, as are all
cereals.
The following recij>e for macaroni
nu gratin is within the means of any
inexperienced cook, and is inexpensive

Pless' visit to your castle, and a
lengthy Interview in which you an

"An abominable lie!" I cried indig
nantl.v.
"Another paper says that yonr for
tune has been placed at his disposal In
the tight he Is making against tliu crim
inally ricb Americans. In this partic
ular article yon are quoted as saying
that I aiu a dreadful person and not
fit to linve the custody of a child."
"Good T.ord!" I gasped helplessly.
"You also expect to do everything In
your power to interest the adminlstra
tion at Washington in his behalf."
"Well, of all the— Oh. I say. countess,
yon don't believe a word of all this,

She regarded me pensively. "You
have said some very mean, uncivil
things to roe."
"If 1 thought you believed"— I be

relieved me of the necessity of jump

I stopped very abruptly in great con
fusion.
"And—you don't?" she queried, with
real serionsuess lu ber voice. "You
don't despise me?"

Macaroni au gratin: 'Enough well
cooked and drained macaroni to fill the
baking dish half full. One-quarter of a
pound of dry, grated, strongly flavored
cheese. Salt, butter and pepper. One
cup of dry sifted crumbs, enough thick
ened milk to cover all. Put a layer of
macaroni, a layer of crumbs and lastly
a layer of cheese on the buttered dish,

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
"Please give directions for making
'Float.' "
Reply.—Floating Island is the full
name of the pleasing corn starch dessert
you probably have reference to. Heat
one quart of milk until it boils. Then
stir in the following well beaten mix
ture: yolks of four eggs, one level cup
of sugar, two tablespoons of wet corn
starch dissolved in a cup of cold milk.
Cook gently until a smooth, thick cus
tard results. A double boiler should bo
used. Flavor with vanilla and add the
whipped whites of the four eggs when
the custard is cold. Dot with bits of
bright colored jelly cut in fancy shapes
or laid on in strips.
• * •
"Can you tell me of any way to keep
effervescent beverages like ginger ale
and pop fresh and sparkling after they
have been opened?"
Reply.—These carbonated liquids be
come flat as the gas they contain
escapes. There are several' fasteners
used by drink dispensers that keep the
gas in a short while. Inquire for these
at your soda counter.
