TTB next day I was very busy, preparing for the Jonrney by motor to the small station down the line where 1 was to meet Mrs Titus and ber sons. It aeemed to me that every one who knew anything whatever about the arrange tnents went out of his way to 011 my already rattled brained bead with ad vice. Just before leaving the castle fot the ferry trip across the river that evening I was considerably surprised to have nt least a dozen brand new trunks delivered at my landing stage It Is needless to say tbat tbey turned out to be tbe property of Mrs. Titus, expressed by grande vitesse from sorov vague city in the north of Germany They all bore tbe name "Smart. O. S. A.," painted in large white letters on each end. and I was given to nnder atand that tbey belonged to my own dear mother, who at that moment, 1 am convinced, was sitting down to luncheon in the Adirondacks, provided ber babits were as regular as I re membered them to be. I set forth with Brltton at 9 o'clock In a drizzling ruin. At half past 11 o'clock we were skidding over the cob blestones of the darkest streets 1 have ever known, careening like a drunken sailor, but not half as surely, beaded for the Staatsbahmbof, to which wo had been dtrected by an object in a raincoat who must have been a po liceman. but who looked more like a hydrant. It was pouring pitchforks. "Britton." said 1 wearily, "have yon ever seen anything like it?" "Once before, sir," said he. "Ni agara falls, sir " At half past 12 the train from Munich drew up at tbe statiou, panted awhile In evident disdain and then moved on. A single passenger alighted—a man with a bass viol. There was no sign of the Tituses! We made a careful and extensive search of the station, the platform and even the surrounding neighborhood, but it was quite evident that they had not left the train. Here was a pretty pass! Britton. however, had the rather preposterous Idea that there might be another train a little later on. It did not seeui at all likely, but we made Inquiries of the station agent. To my surprise—and to Britton's infernal Brit ish delight—thOTe was a fast train, with connections from the north, ar riving in half an hour. It was. bow ever, late, ow ing to tbe storm. •Inst ten minutes before 3 the obllg Ing guard came In aiid roused us from 8 mild sleep "Tbe train Is coming, metn herr." "Thank goodness!" "But 1 neglected to mention tbat It Is an express and never stops here." My rlebt hand was still in a bandage, but It was so nearly healed tbat 1 could have used It without discomfort —note my ability to drive a motorcar— and it wag with.the greatest ditlicuitj V' • - .

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 13, 1915. that I restrained a mad Impulse to strike ttini guard full upon the nose, from which the raindrops courwd ID an interrupted descent from the visor of bis cap. The shrill, childish whistle of the locomotive reached lis nt that Instant. A look of wonder sprung Into the eyes of the guard. "It- it is going to stop, meln berr!" he cried "It has never stopped be fore!" He rushed out upon the plat form lu a grent state of agitation, and we trailed along behind him, even more excited than he A conductor stepped down from the Inst coach hut one and prepared to as sist a passenger to alight. I hastened up to him "Permit me." I said, elbowing him aside. A fiortly lady squeezed through the vestibule nnd felt her way carefully down the steps Behind her was a smallish, bewhiskered innn. trying to raise an umbrella inside the narrow corridor, a perfectly ini|>ossible feat. She came down Into my arms with the limpness of one who Is accustomed to such uttentlons. nnd then wheedled Instantly upon the futile Individual on the steps above. "Quick! My hat! Heaven preserve ns, how it ruins!" she cried la a deep, wbeezv voice and—ln German. "Moth"— 1 the sacred word died uutjnlshed on my Hps. The next Instant 1 was scurry ing down the platform to where I suw Brltton standing. "Have you seen them?" I shouted wildly. "No, sir. Not a sign, sir. Ah. see!" He pointed excitedly down the plat form. "No!" I rasped out. "By no possi ble stretch of the Imagination enn that be Mrs. Titus. Come, we must ask the conductor. That woman? Good Lord, Brittou, she waddles!" The large lady and tbe smallish man passed us on the way to shelter, the latter holding an umbrella over her hat with one hand and lugging a heavy hamper In the other. They were both exclaiming in German. Tbe station guard and the conductor were bowing and scraping In their wake, both car rying boxes and bundles. No one else had descended from tbe train. I grabbed the conductor by the arm. "Any one else getting off here?" I demanded in English and at once re pented It In German. He shook himself loose, dropped tbe bags In the shelter of the station house, doffed his cap to the Imperious backs of his late passengers, and scuttled back to the car. A moment later the train was under way. "Can yon not see for yourself?" he shouted from tbe steps as be passed me by. Once more I swooped down upon the guard. He was stuffing tbe larga German lady into a small, lopsided car riage, the driver of which was taking off his enp and putting It on again aft er the manner of a mecbunical toy. "Go away." hissed the guard angrily. "This is the mayor and the mayoress. Stand aside! Can't you see?" "When does the next train get In?" I asked for the third time. He was still bowing after the departing back. "Ach, Gott!" he gasped. Collecting his thoughts, he said: 'There is no train until 9 o'clock In the morning. Nine, mein berr." "Ach, Gott!" groaned L "Are yon sure?" "Jab! You can go home now and go to bed, sir. There will be no train un til 9. and 1 will not be on duty then. Good night." "I dare say we'd better be starting 'ome. sir," snid Brittou timidly. "Some thing 'as gone wrong with tbe plans. I fear. They did not come, sir." "Do you think 1 am blind?" I roared. "Not nt all. sir." be said in baste, taking a step or two backward. By the time we succeeded In starting the engine after cranking for nearly half an hour I was so consumed by wrath over the scurvy trick Mrs. Titus had played upon us that 1 swore she should uot enter my castle If i conld prevent it Moreover. I would take fiendish delight In dumping her con founded luggage into the Dannbe. We then had trouble with the lamps. At Inst we were off. Brltton at the wheel. I shall not describe that diabolical trip home. It is only necessary to say that we first lost our way and went ten or twelve kilometers In the wrong direc tion; then we had a blowout nnd no quick detachable rim. Subsequently something went wrong with tbe mud caked machinery, and my unfortunate valet bad to He on his back In a pud die for bnlf an hour. Eventually we sneaked into the garage with our trem bllng car and quarreled manfully with the mei< who bad to wash her. "Good heavens. Brltton!" 1 exclaimed suddenly. He looked at me In astonishment. 1 admit that tbe ejaculation must have sounded weak and effeminate to htm after what had gone liefore. "What Is It. air?" be asked, at once resuming bis stntus as a servant after a splendid hiatus of tive hours or more in which he had enjoyed all of the by products of equality. "Poopendyke!" I exclaimed, aghast "1 inHt thoncht of »'"■ The uoor devil has Ihm'H walling lor us tluec uilli* up the rtw sluee midnight' What d<> you think of tMatF" "No such luck.

Grauel A Sauce lor This and One for That Hunger is called the best sauce, but i there are many besides it that give 1 variety to plain tare and improve even costly foods. jj Sauces inay be divided for our con- i venience into sweet sauces, as those i made for puddings, fruits and desserts, 1 and white and brown sauces thai are i used on meats and vegetables. We will i consider the latter. L The roux is the base of all the varia- i tions of these dressings; it is made by | melting one tablespoon of butter and jl blending one tablespoon of flour into it l| and adding a cup of cream if you are i making cream sauce, or milk if for j i white sauce. If glaze or half stock and half milk is used it is -called Bechamel : 1 sauce, and if additional richness is se- j cured with egg yolks it becomes poulette sauce. White sauces are used on sweet- i breads, veal, white meat of fowl and ; on delicate vegetables like celery, cauli flower and the like. Great care is used j to prevent the butter browning while j it is melting, for this would discolor the ; dressing. Dark, rich looking sauces are con- ; sidered correct for chops, cutlets, cro- i quettes and dark colored entrees. The seasoning used gives the name to the dressing; for instance, Espngnolc sauce is peppery, hot and seasoned with on- ! ion and spices. Sauce Piquante has capers and bits of gherkins in it, and is both .sharp and sweet. Sonbisc sauce is onion flavored and Bernaise is much like Mav.onnaise dressing.

Jail Has First Baby in 70 Years Pottsville, Pa., May 13.—'Mrs. Mary Rosko, of Port Carbon, who wus sent to jail by Court Monday, after being convicted of selling liquor without a license, yesterday gave birth to a baby t cessful il' lie can but have a free hand in ; making the correct sauce. In making tlie roux for dark colored sauces both the butter and the flour arc j browned and frequently some coloring ] matter is used to attain the exact result. It is almost impossible to add thick- ! oiling of cornstarch or flour and water to sauce and gravies after they are i | cooked and secure a rich smooth dress ling; invariably there will be a raw, thin taste. This is accounted for by the fact i that intense beat is needed to burst the starch cells of the flour and liquids' cannot be made sufficiently hot withoutj injuring the flavor of the foods cooking in them, while butter reaches a very high temperature before it .scorches. A number of seasonings and flavors that aid in sauce making are to be j found in high-class groceries; some of] I them are onion salt, herb extracts, eel- | j cry salt, kitchen bouquets, pepper sauce, j soup extracts and bouillon cubes.
