A full minute passed before I grasp
ed the lueauiuj; of tlr«t soft answer,
iiud then it was too late. He had gone!
about bis business without waiting to
Kee whether my wrath had been turned j
j away. 1 had been joy riding!
The excitement in Britton's usually j
! imperturbable countenance us he came!
| running up to me from the telephone!
j closet prepared me in a way for the!
i startling news that was to come.
"Has anything serious happened?"' I;
cried, my heart sinkiug a little lower, j
"I had Mr. Poopendyke himself on;
I the wire. sir. What do you think, sir?" ;
A premonitiou: "She —she lias ar-1
rived?" I demanded dully.
He nodded "She 'as, sir. Mrs.—'
your mother, sir. is in your midst."
: The proximity of the inquisitive man-i
ager explains this extraordinary re-!
j mark on the part of my valet. Wei
both glared at the manager, and he
bad the delicacy to move away. "She
arrived by a special train at 12 lawst
night, sir."
1 was speechless. The brilliant sun
shine seemed to be turjiiug into som
ber night before my eyes Everything
was going black.
"She's asleep, he says, and doesn't;
want to lie disturbed till noon, so he
says he can't say anything more just
now over the telephone because he's
afraid of waking 'er." (Britton drops
them when excited.)
' "He doesn't have to shout so loud
that lie can lie heard on the top floor,"
said 1, still a trifle dazed
"She "appens to be sleeping in your]
bed, sir. he says."
"In my bed? Good heavens. Britton.
what's to become of me?"
"Don't take It so 'ard. sir," he made
haste to say. "Blntchford 'as fixed a
place lor you on the couch in your
study, sir. It's all very snug, sir."
"But. Britton." I said in horror, "sup
pose that I should have come home
last night. Don't you see?"
"1 daresay she 'nd the door locked. I
sir." he said.
"By special train." I mumbled. A 1
light broke in upon my reviving Intel
lect "Why. it was the train that went j
through at a mile a minute while we
were in the coffee house. No wonder;
we didn't meet her!"
"1 shudder to think of wot would j
'ave "appeued if we had. sir." said he, j
meaning no doubt to placate me. "Mr.
Poopendyke says the countess as been
up all nislir worrying about you, sir.
She has been distracted. She wanted
"1 ui lo go out and search for you at 4
o'clock this morning, but lie says lie
assured 'er you'd turn up all right. He
says Mrs—the elderly lady, begging
your pardon, sir—thought she was do
ing for the best when she took a spc \
eial. She wanted to save us all the
trouble she could. He says she was 1
very much distressed by our failure
to 'ave some one meet her with a
launch when she got here last night,!
sir. As it was. she didn't reach the;
castle until nearly 1. and she looked j
"She 'sppens to be sleeping in your
bed, sir, he says."
like a drowned rat when she got there,
being hex—exposed to u beastly rain
storm. See wot 1 mean ? She went to
bed In a dreadful state, he says, but
he thinks she'll be more pleasant be
fore the day is over.' -
I burst into a lit of laughter. "Hur- ;
ray!" 1 shouted exultantly. "Well, by i
Jove. 1 don't feel half as bad as 1 j
did Ave minutes ago. Come, let us be
off."
We started briskly down the street
My spirits were beginning to rebound.
Poopendyke had said that she worried
all night about me. She bad been dis
tracted! Poor little woman! Still I
was glad to know that she had the
grace to sit uu aud worry jnsteud of
| golnp: to sleep as she misrht hare done.
I was just meau enough to be happy
over it.
Poopendyke met 11s on the town side
•if the river. He seemed » trifle bag
sard. I thought. He wan not slow, on
the other hand, to announce In hor
ror struck tones that I looked like a
ghost.
"VOII must get those wet clothes off
at once. .Mr. Smart, and go to bed with
a hot water bottle and ten grfilus of
quinine You'll be very 111 If yon don't.
Put a lot more elbow grense Into those

yon want Mr. Smart to die of piivn
nionia?"
CHAPTER XIX.
I Meet Mri. Titus.
WHILE we were crossing the
muddy stream my secre
tary, his teeth chattering
with cold and excitement
combined, related the story of tbt
night.
"We were just starting off for the
bontbouse tip the river, according to
plans. Max and Rudolph and 1 with
the two boats, when the countess came
dowo lu a mackintosh and a pair of
gtitn boots and insisted upon going
along with us. She said it wasn't fair
to make you do all the work and all
that sort of thing. While we were ar
guing with ber—and it was getting so
late that I feared we wouldn't he in
time to meet you—we heard some one
shouting on the opposite side of the
river. The voice sounded something
like Britton's, and the countess insist
ed that there had been an accident and
that you were hurt, Mr. Smart, and
nothing would do but we must send
Max and Itudolph over to see what the
trouble was. It was raining cats and
dogs, aud 1 realized that it would be
impossible for you to get a boatman
on that side at that hour of the night
—it was nearly 1— so I sent the two
Schmicks across. I've never seen a
night as dark as it was. The two lit
tle lanterns bobbing in the boat could
hardly be seen through the torrents ol
rain, and it was next to impossible t<i
see the lights on the opposite landing
stage—Just a dull, misty glow.
"To make the story short, Mrs. Titus
and her sons were over there, with
absolutely no means of crossiug the
river. It took two trips over to fetch
the whole party across. liaining pitch
forks all the time, you understand.
Mrs. Titus was foaming at the mouth
because yon don't own a yacht or at
least a launch with a canopy top or
a limousine body or something of the
sort.
"I didn't have much of a chance to
converse with her. The countess tried
to get her upstairs in the east wing,
but she wouldn't climb another step.
I forgot to mention that the windlass
was out of order and she had to cliuib
tiie biii in mud six Inches deep. The
Schmicks carried her the last half of
the distance. She insisted on sleeping
in the hall or the study—anywhere but
upstairs. I assumed the responsibility
of putting her in your bed, sir. It wast
either that or"—
1 b >ke in sarcastically, "You couldn't
have put iter into your bed. I suppose."
"Not very handily, Mr. Smart." he
said in an injured voice. "One of her
sons occupied my bed. Of course it
was all right, because I didn't Intend
to go to bed. as it happened. The old
er son went upstairs with the countess.
She gave up her bed to him. and then
she and 1 sat up all night in the
study waiting for a telephone message
from you. The younger son explained
a good many things to us that his
mother absolutely refused to discuss. j
she was so mad when she got here. It
seems she took It Into ber head at the ,
last minute to charter a special train. '
but forgot to notify us of the switch
In the plans. She traveled by the reg
ular train from Paris to some place
along the line, where she got ont and
waited for the special which was fol
lowing along behind, straight from
Paris too. A woeful waste of money,
It seemed to me. Her Idea was to
throw a couple of plain clothes men off
the track, and, by George, sir, she sue- j
ceeded. They thought she was chang
ing from a train to some place In '
Switzerland and went off to watch the ;
other station. Then she sneaked
aboard the special, which was charter- !
ed clear through to Vienna. See bow j
clever she is? If they followed on the
next train or telegraphed it would nat- j
urally be to Vienna. She got off at this [
place, and—well, we have her with us, j
sir. as snug as a bug In a rug.''
"What Is she like Fred?" I Inquired.
I confess that I hung on his reply.
"1 have never seen a wet hen. but I
should say on a guess that she's n good
bit like one. Perhaps when she's thor
oughly dried out she may not be so
bad, but"—he drew a long, deep
breath—"but upon my word of honor
she was tin/limit Inst night. Of course
one couldn't expect her to be exactly
gracious, with her hair plastered over
her face and her hat spoiled and her
clothes soaked, but there was really no
excuse for some of the things she said
to me. I shall overlook them for your
sake and for the countess'." He was
painfully red in the face.
"The conditions. Fred." I said, ''were
scarcely conducive to polite persiflage."
"Hut. hang it all. I was as wet as she
was," bo exuloded so violently that J
knew his soul must hare been triad to
the utmost.
"We must try to ronke the hwt of It.''
1 snld. "It will not l>»* for long." The
of It somehow sent oiy taenri
bHi:k to Its lowest level.
He wns kluih mid sileut for a few
mloutes Then he snld. HS If the
thoiiKht bud been on his mind forsonu
hours: "She Isn't 11 du.v over forty-Uve.
It doesn'i xi;eui possible, with a six
foot son twenty-six years old."
Grimly I explained. "They marry
quite young when It's for money,
Fred."
"I h«|ijm)so that's It." he sighed. "I
fanc.v Hhe'tt luiiidsome. too. when she
hasn't been ruined upon."
We were luilfwny up the slope when

My loud laughter cut him short.

Episcopal Lay Delegates Defeated
Pittsburgh, Pa., May 14. —Equal
rights in the councils of the Episcopal
church were denied to women yester
day, when the annual diocesan conven-!

48 to 18 to lay on the table indefinite
ly a resolution recommending that wom
en be permitted to sit as lay delegates
in the councils of the church, on equal
terms with men.
The resolution was offered bv the
Rev. R. H. Ward, rector of St. Peter's
church, who spoke of the great work
the women were doing and said their
advice and influence sho'uld be of great
service in the gatherings of the church.
Many of the other delegates to the
convention also spoke of the advisabil
ity of admitting women to full religious

no opposition to the proposition, but
when the debate had reached its climax,
Arthur M.'Scully moved that the reso
lution be laid on the table.

The Oven Thermometer
There is no question but that the
oven thermometer is a very great help
in cake, bread anil pastry baking and
it does not require vast experience to
use one of these assistants.
There are many who have asked how
these are attached to ovens, length of
time required for process and if they
are practical for all stoves. The reply
is that the oven thermometer need not
be fastened securely to the oven door;
it may set or stand on the oven rack
and can be used to advantage in any
oven. The writer knows of four of
these thermometers, each a little dif
ferent from another, that work splen
didly. Their cost is nominal when you
consider that fuel is saved and that ma
terial will not be wasted through im
proper baking once they are purchased.
Usually we have the oven too hot,
and so, before our cake mixtures have
opportunity to rise, a heavy crust forms
and our baking is not light.
All ovens aet differently, according
to fuel, draft and dampers, so a gen
erat scale cannot be fixed, but by ob
servation you can soon see what heat
gives you best results.
Cookery thermometers or pyrometers
are marked from 200 to 700 degrees.
A temperature of 400 to 500 is called
"quick" or "sharp" heat, and this is
thought right for rolls; 350 is for rve
bread, whole wheat and graham mix
tures.

Isn't $5.00
Worth Saving?
You can save this much money by buying

And the remarkable thing about buying
coal now for next winter is that you get bet
ter quality coal.
Usually when you buy a thing cheaper you look
for inferior quality.
Not so with coal—the prices arc reducer! in sum

Meringues 200 200
The richer cakes are, the less heat
they should have in baking, but 200
is too low for anything else than fruit
and similar cakes, souffles and
meringues.
The idea seems to prevail that be
ginners in the work of cookery will
accustom themselves more quickly to
the use of oven indicators than ex
perienced cooks, who have long used the
test and try methods, will. This is not
true, for I have asked a number of
women who have kept house for a gen
eration and only recently used therniom
eters if they were of value and in even
case the reply was the same, "I could
not bake without that thing, now, if I
had to."
You will find these instruments on
