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. Miller, of Georgetown, Del.,,
came here yesterday and gave his eon

net, and James IJ. Underbill, of San
Francisco, a marine lieutenant, was!
made possible. 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

serve with sandwiches.

The whole world shall know, countess,
that I am for you first, last and all J
the time. It shall know"—
"But you don't know who 1 am. Mr.
Smart,'* she broke lu. her cheeks very
warm and rosy. "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. We were j
besieged by the usual crowd of Sun
day sightseers, who came clamoring i
at our stanch, re-enforced gates and '
anathematized me soundly for refus- j
tug admission One bourgeoise party j
of fifteen refused to leave tile plaza
until their return fares on the ferry
barge were paid, stoutly maintaining j
that they had come over in good faith j
and wouldn't leave until 1 hnd relm-1

with tbe money He returned with the;
rather disquieting news that be bad
recognized two of Mr. F'less' secret
agents in the mol>.
"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! The nauiestruck
i my memory like a blow. What a stu
| pld dolt I had been! The whole world
had rung wedding bells for the mar
: rlage of the Count Marls Tarnowsy,
! scion of one of the greatest Hungarian
houses, and Aline, the nineteen-year
| old daughter of Gwendolen and Jasper
| Titus of New York. Newport. Tuxedo,
| Hot Springs, Palm Bench, and so forth
—Jasper Titus, the bunker and railway
| magnate, whose name ns well as his
| hand was to be seen In every great
| financial movement of the Inst two
; decades!
j My pleasant little mystery had coma
to a sharp and rather depressing end.
j A joyous enthusiasm had attended me
while I worked In the dark; now a
dreary reality stared me In the face.
The sparkle was gone.
