UARRISBrPO STAR-INDEPENDENT, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1915 |S HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel The Food Values of Gelatines Almost every course, from soup toj dessert, may be varied by the use of the I commercial gelatine. It is used to give' I body or clarity to the bisques and con sommes; vegetables are molded in it, whipped cream is made more consistent! and finer grained when it is added, and| our handsomest desserts depend upon; this useful article for being. What if it is flavorless; suppose Leibig and other by-gone food special-, ist« were wrong in advocating gelatine! jellies for invalid diet? It becomes a food when we add the nutritious qual ities it lacks, anil its very insipidity: makes it wonderfully easy to color, flavor or enrich. We do not live by strength-giving' elements altogether; some foods we en joy because they are beautiful, and they' are their own excuse for being, but gel-1 atine desserts, salads, soups, meats in aspics and similar dishes are valuable from every standpoint. One result to strive for in using' gelatine is to have it brilliant and transparent. This necessitates using the best product ami carefully following; directions. Some makes require that they be made soft in cold water; others are dissolved in boiling'liquids, so the only safe plan is to read the instruc-] tions and follow them. Cooking does not thicken gelatine.! so if you fail in your first attempt to: use it, add more gelatine, but do not boil it in the hope it will gain body. Most of the packages contain two ounces of gelatine, and this will make three pints of quivering jelly; if you want it somewhat firmer than this, use a little less liquid. The commercial article does not need to be clarified as that made from isin- Father Clears Way to Marriage .Vorristown, Fa., May 6. Because ! Charles 8.

Issuance of a marriage j glass, calves' feet, head and bones used to do. It needs only to be molded. The mixture should be cold when it is poured into the mold, and should be placed in ice so the process will not seem tedious. One layer at a time is poured in and decorations are arranged so that when the gelatine is unmolded it will be right side up. When one layer is firm another is put on. This is rather intricate molding for a novice and some of the plain jellies should l>e made first. Tomato macedoine is a handsome salad and easy to perfect: Remove cen ter and seeds from small, firm tomatoes, hut do not skin thein. Fill the center with minced celery, cold boiled string beans, asparagus tips and peas mixed in mayonnaise dressing to which has been added an equal amount of aspic .jelly. Heap some of this dressing on the top of each filled tomato also and set on ice until it is firm. Have lettuce leaves on cool salad plates, and when ready for this course dip a sharp, thin knife in boiling water and cut each to mato in half, place on the lettuce and serve with sandwiches.

"How can you pub-: licly espouse the cause of one whose name you refuse to have mentioned In your presence?" I dismissed her question with a wave of the hand. "Poopendyke can supply) the name after 1 have signed the state ment I give him carte blanche. The uauie lias nothing to do with tile case so far as I am concerned. Write it. 1 Fred, and make it strong." She came up to me and held out her hand. "1 kuew you would do It," she said softly. "Thanks." She not only caiue for dinner with j us on Sunday, but made the dressing j for my alligator pear salad.

"I wonder If he suspects that I aro here," said the countess, paling per ceptibly when I mentioned the pres ence of the two men. i did not sleep well that night. The presence of the two detectives outside my gates was not to be taken too light iy. CHAPTER XIV. I Am Invited to Spend Money. SHORTLY after !♦ o'cl.Kk the next morning a sly faced man in overalls accosted me in the hall "I beg your pardon. Mr. Smart." he said in fairly good English. "May 1! have a word with you? I have a mes sage from Mr I'less. I am an agent ot the secret service. Yesterday 1 fail ed to gain admission as a visitor, to day I come as a laborer." "Is it necessary for Mr. Pless to re- j sort to a subterfuge of this character in order to get a message to me?" I j demanded Indignantly. "It was not necessary yesterday, but l It is today." said he. He leaned closer , and lowered his voice. "Our every movement is being watched by the; i-ountess' detectives We are obliged ! to resort to trickery to throw them off the scent. .Mr. I'less J>as read what ,von had to say In tbe newspapers, and j lie is too grateful, sir, to subject yon j < to unnecessary annoyance at the hands j of her agents. He would have yon to ! i oieet him secretly tonight at the Rempf hotel across the river. It Is moat Im portant tbat you should do so and that you should exert,**- great caution. 1 i am to take your repfy Mick to bim." s ' For an instant I was fairly stupe- ' tied Then 1 experienced a feeling of ' relief so vnst that he must huve seen the gleam of triumph in my eyes. The ' trick was mine, after all. "You may tell Mr. Pless that I shall' ' be there at 9." said 1. The agent de- 1 parted. When lie was safely out of the room 1 explained tbe situation to 1 Poopendyke and then made my way ' through tbe secret panels to the count-1 ess' rooms. i She was ready for the subterranean Journey lu quest or treasure attired , in a neat walking skirt, with her bon- , ny hair encased in a swimming cap as n guard against cobwebs. "Then you don't intend to send out , the statements?" she cried in disap pointment. "You are going to let ev ery one think you are bis friend and not mine?" I stood over ber. trying my best to | scowl. "You know better than that You know l—l am as loyal as—as can , be. Hang it all!" ] burst out Impulsive- j ( ly. "Do you suppose f.>r a minute that , I want to band you over to that In- ] fernai rascal now that I've come to— ( tbat Is to say, now that we're such rip- < ping good friends?" She looked up at me very patbetical- | ly at first Then her expression chang- { ed swiftly to one of wonder and the ( most penetrating inquiry. Slowly a flush crept Into ber cheeks, and ber eyes wavered. "I—l think I can trust you to—to do the right thing by me," she said, de-; ' scending to a banality In ber confu- j sion. ! 4 I held out my band. She laid hers tn it ratber timidly, almost as if she was! afraid of me. "I shall not fall you." i said 1 without the faintest intention to' ! be heroic, but immediately conscious: of baring used an expression so trite' j tbat my cheek flamed with bumllla- j I ttou. For some unaccountable reason she arose hastily from tile cbulr anil walk ed to tile window. A similar reason no doubt held tm> rooted rntlier snfei.v to the spot on which I stood. I have a vague recollection of feeling dizr.y and rather short of breath. My heart was acting queerly. ••Why do you suppose he wants to see yon?" she asked after a moment, turning toward me again. She was as calm ns a summer breeze All trace of nervousness had left her. "I can't even supply a guess." "You must be very, very tactful," she said uneasily. "I know him so well. He Is very cunning." "You may trust me Implicitly to do the right thins." said I beamingly. "And now what do yon say to our trip to the bottom of the castle?" Shf shook her head. "Not with tbe house full of spies, my dear friend. We'll save that for another day. A rainy day perhaps I fed like having nil the sunshine I cnn get today. To night I shall be gloomy and very lone ly. I shall take llosemary and .liuko out upon the top of the tower and play nil day In the sun." I had an Idea "I am sure 1 should enjoy n little sunshine myself. May I come too?" She looked me straight In the eye. There wns a touch of dignity in her voice when she spoke. "Not today. Mr. Smart." A most unfathomable person! I found Mr. Pless at the Rernpf at 0 o'clock. He welcomed me with great warmth. He called me "dear old fellow" and shook hands with me with more heartiness than 1 had thought him ca pable of expressing. A smallish old gentleman was with him. I was In formed that he wns one of the greatest lawyers and advocates in Vienna, and Mr. Pless' personal adviser in the "un fortunate controversy." "So you knew who 1 wns all the time I was at Schloss Rothhoefen." said Mr. Pless, smiling amiably. "! was trying to maintain my Incognito so that you might not be distressed. Mr. Smart, by having in yotir home such H notorious character as I am supposed to be. I confess it was rather shabby In Die. but I excellent frleuds responsible for the trick." "It Is rather difficult to keep a secret with women about." said 1 evasively. "Hut never difficult to construct one." said Mr. Scb.vmansky. winking. I think Schymansky was the name. "By the way," said I. "1 have had no word from our mutual friends. Have you seen them?" Mr. Pless stiffened. His face grew perceptibly older. "1 regret to Inform you. Mr. Smart, that our relations nre not quite as friendly as they once were. I have reason to suspect that Mr. Smith has been working against me for tbe past two or three days, to such an extent, I may say, that the ambassador now declines to advise your government to grunt us cert.'iin privileges we had hoped to secure without trouble. In short, we have just heard that he will not ask the United States to consider anything in the shape of an extradition If tbe countess is n(>prehended in her own country "1 fancy you are wondering why I sent for you, Mr. Smart," said Mr. Pless "1 am." "Am I to assume that the newspa pers were correct In stating that yon menn to support my cause witti—l may say. to the full extent of your pow ers?" "!t depends on circumstances, Mr. I'le»s." "Circumstances?" He eyed me rath »r coldly, as if to say. "What right have you to suggest circumstances?" "Perhaps 1 should have said that It depends somewhat on what my pow ers represent." He crossed his slender legs comfort- Ibly and looked at me with a queer little tilt of his left eyebrow, but with an unsmiling visage. He was too cock sure of himself to grant me even so much as an ingratiating smile. Was not 1 a glory seeking and be one of the glorious? It would ne doing me a fnvor to let me belp blm. "I trust you will understand, Mr. Smart, that 1 do not ask a favor of you. but rather put myself under a certain obligation for the time being. It Is quite Impossible for me to prose cute the search for my child with out financial assistance from outside sources. My funds are practically ex hausted, and the banks refuse to ex tend my credit You have publicly de clared yourself to be my friend and well wisher. I have asked you to come here tonight. Mr. Smart, to pat you to tbe real test, so to speak. 1 want SIOO,- 000 for six months." While I was prepared In a sense for tbe request, tbe brazenness wltb which be put it up to me took my breatb away. "Really. Mr. Pless." 1 mumbled la direct contrast to his sangfroid, "yon' —you surprise me." He laughed quietly, almost reassur- ■ lngly, as be leaned forward In his chair the better to study my face. "I hope you do not think that I expect you to produce so much ready money tonight, Mr. Smart Oh. no! Any time within the next few days will b« satisfactory. Take your time, sir. I appreciate that tt require* time to ar range for the"— 1 held up my hand with a rather lofty air. "Was it one hundred and fifty thousand That you mentioned or"— "Tlint was the amount," said he. a sudile.i glitter In his eyes. 1 studied the celling with a calculat lng squint, as If trying to approximate my balance In bank. He watched mo closely, almost breathlessly. At Inst, unable to coutrol his eagerness, he said: "At the usual rate of Interest, you understand." "What security can you give. Mr. Pless?" 1 demanded In II very business like way. "'Oh, you Americans!" he cried, hla face beaming with premature relief. "You will pin us down. 1 see. 1 do not wonder chat you nre so rich. I shall give you my personal note, Mr. Stuart, for the amount secured by a mortgage—a supplementary mortgage— on the Chateau Tarnowsy." Tarnowsy! Now 1 remembered ev ; erythlug. Tarnowsy!
