Her long black stock ings stretched out before her, and dad dy's experienced eyi s fell on them at once. He was so well acquainted with stockings! lie noticed instantly that they were rusty and loose tibered. Then he saw the little "gobbled" darns In them. Peggy was not renowned for needlework. "Poor dye, slazv weave," he thought; "couldn't have come from Bruce's. Mine are fast black, an' you can't see daylight through 'ein either." "l ire away, daddy! Don't you see the lady's waiting?" Peggy's clear, laughing voice inter rupted his thoughts and brought him back from the stocking counter at to the great, hot beach, with the sea at Ids feet. "Er why. yes, Peggy, yes. What was I savin'?" "That's the trouble. You weren't saying a solitary word. Daddy Knox, just mooning or selling stockings!" "Nenirr stocKin s yoivve nir me nail. Peggy!

Peggy eyed the crumpled shirt bosom with palpable disfavor. Her eyes trav eled over the shabby little figure, tak ing in the shiny seams and the frayed edges disapprovingly. How little and and seedy daddy was! "Yes, ma'd have a fit—two fits," she said promptly. "You'll have to re-' main incog., daddy. Now, I don t mind. I'm not in full dress myself, so I'm willing to fellowship with you.

Larks!' Iler e ; were still on daddy. She was sc< i*ig many new things -the hol lows iu his temples, the patient droop to his lips, the whitening lialr around his bald spot. She was seeing how stoop shouldered daddy was getting to bo and how tired, tired, tired he looked. It teemed to Peggy, lying there in the warm sand beside daddy, as if she wre Just being Introduced to him. She reached out a little sea browned hand md slowly threaded the scant gray jalr between hi r lingers. The sofi.u s ■ Hid silkiness of it surprised h : ae had never known l» fore that daddy's hair was soft and sill.y. "But it's thin, daddy. I believe In my soul you're growing old. Aren't you a 'lamed of youi ii. sir? The idea!" i older than si .«■ other folks this si'! of the si a pi retorted daddy, with a boyish lan. Ilu did not feel old just then He i It young. It was so phas; at to havt Peggy all to him self and to lie r -a : g with the gentle boom of tin bp aki: in lus ear. "You're grow in' i.:d. too. inn'am. Blest my soul ua -n't it day before yester day you had the r, e an' I toted you up an' down the nursery floor, up an' down, up an' down? Did you ever Buy enough? Not you!" lie prodded her whimsically with his linger, but she was not listening to his banter. "You're tired, daddy; that's what," she cried abruptly. "You need a lark, a long one, not just a mean little twen ty-four hour one like this. See; there are crow's feet round your eyes, and you're not old enough for crow's fet t. One, two, three, four whoever heard of a crow with four feet? Daddy, do you hearV You must have a good, long holiday. You shall stay right down here with lis. I guess we can find clean shirts enough. You shall not go home n step till we go." Gregory Km \ - hook his head slowly "An' lose my job, little one? Then who'd get the bread an' butter? No. no; I'm liavin' my lark today with you I'm satisfied. We old fellows t th« store have to stand by the ship whih the young bloods are bavin' their out In's. It's the law. Besides, a place like this, my dear, wouldn't do for me. Think of your ma. No, no; I'd rati* i goto the trout brook at home an' lie on the banks an' fish." "\es, daddy, yes goon." Her eyes were on his kindled old face, and his were on a fleck of white sail In the oiling. He hi .an to speak again dream Uy, as If to h inn' If: "I'd like to see Simeon again too. We always went troutln' together, he an' me. but I could haul In the most fish every time Sim warn't much of an angler. He'd lay with his eves shut nil' s;iy poems to me. Poor Sim! i"luit 's aliout all the poetry he ever had, or me either. It would lie like revlowin' a jiocin, though, jest togo hack an' lay under (lie willows at home. Shady? Well, 1 guess. An' cool? There ain't a cooler place anywhere in the heat of summer than on the hank of that old troutln' stream was—no, sir. An' you could hear the stiddy song of the water —it never stopped—an' smell the pine needles, het up with the sun in the middle of the day. Smell good, did it V 1 get to hnnkerln' after that smell hot days behind my counter among the stockln's. Yes. sir, when the good Lord gives me a whole week off I'm goin' home togo troutln' with my brother Sim." He woke out of his day dream a min ute later in time to see Peggy skim ming over the beach toward one of the looming hotels In the background of the sea. She had forgotten all about her dip in tue surf. She came back again by and by with the paper bag of lunch, and they ate it together In the lee of the big bowlder. Daddy was very gay and scarcely noticed Peggy's preoccupation. She said goodby to him in midafternoon, and he waited alone for traintime. "Ma," Peggy said, coming upon her suddenly, with her novel, on the broad hotel veranda —"ma, it's played out. I'm going uii home. I'm going tonight, this very tonight that ever is. I guess daddy 'II be glad to see me, and I've got enough of this place. I'm too young to flirt around with the girls, and I'm too old to dig in the sand with the babies. That's what I'd l!ke —to have a little red pall and a shovel and dig. That's living. But as long as I can't I guess I'll go home. I'm going up stairs now and pack up." Ma folded down the corner of a leaf to keep her place. She was used to Peggy's whims and was unastonished. "But, Peggy, It's only half through the month. There's two whole weeks left," she said slowly. In her heart ma was relieved. Peggy's ways were apt to tie disconcerting, and she would be safe and well with pa. She'd be company for him, too—poor pa! Without any objection Peggy was al lowed to put her things together and go. When the train was well under way, she went ahead to daddy's car to surprise him. He was sitting by him self In thi> front of the car. The paper bag of lunch remnants was in his hand, and he was absently twisting and un twisting it. Peggy saw the tragedy coming. She got there just in time to see daddy regarding the torn bag in dismay, while fragments of ham sand wiches oozed out and dropped to the floor. "I'll pick 'em up. Don't stoop, dud rly," she said quietly. "Peggy Knox!" cried daddy. "Don't mention It—sh! I'm traveling Incog.," whispered Peggj*. Then they both laughed and settled comfortably for the trip home. Peggy explained rather ambiguously that she thought she'd run up home for a day." "Take my day off. you know, daddy," the said gayl.v. "You won't mind hav ing me keep house for you a day, will you? I can boil tea to perfection, ami I'll make you fritters for breakfast. Then I can do some shopping between times. If you're a very good old dad dy indeed, I'll buy my stockings of you!" On the n*xt morning but one daddy went down to Bruce's with a long fuce. It was the morning Peggy was going back to ma and th • girls. lb- had tak en it for granted, and it tilled him with homesick misery, li had been so pleas ant to have the child at home. Sh' hud taken his lonely old heart by storm. He hung up his hat and began me chanlcally to straighten some of the boxes in one of the tiii- behind the tiounter. He had not thought to say good morning to Old Adam, as usual. It was Peggy -gay, little, harum scat um Peggy—daddy was thinking of. "Oh. I say, Mr. Knox, good day to you, sir!" some one out in the aisle was saying. It was the boss, lie leaned over the counter and pulled his sleeve. "I say, Km ft. you don't look pulled together yet. You need another day < V. Why not take, say. a fortnight and g>. somewhere trout fishing Adi rondack way, you know? Can as well as not. Don't say n word! Fact Is, I've made arrangements with some body to take your place, and you've got togo; can't help yourself. Stay two weeks, and or—you needn't trouble about your pay. That'll go right on, you know. Might as well go today. Why not?" He was gone before the astonished little man behind the stocking counter had recovered himself. Old Adam was regarding him with a grin. "Got your walkin' ticket, eh?" he drawled. "Well, you d< 2 rve it.

He ain't half bad. Now, put on your hat an" start shoo!" It was half past s. There was time t<i get the In o'clock train that went straight toward th> little dark brook under the willow--' l'hcpe was time, time, time! If PcgtN had only stayed long enough to know! It would ph aso Peggy. • »n the 10 o'clock train Gregory Knox sat back in his st t and wished again that l'eggy could know He had half a mind to teh-i ph her, but on second thought decided to wait and write from Sim's. He could" tell Peggy so many thin . - that would be interesting then how her I'licle Simeon looked, and how the old [•lace had stood the wear and tear of thirty years, and Whether the tall tree apples tasted as pood as they used to and if the trout were bltinir well. He would write 1 Peggy a long letter, the first letter ho Inn! ever written to one of flit; girls. He was glad the first one would be to 1 'eggy. Two weeks Inter Gregory Knox, brown nnd happy, got off the train in the crowded city station. lie walked away with a springy stride that fitted his little stooped figure oddly. People turned to look again at his liannv face. Tlie wnim seized liini to walk by Bruce's and see how It looked from an outsider's standpoint, to stand and look Idly In the big windows, as outsiders did; then another whim togo in at the great, swinging doors and loiter through the aisles, nil but the stocking counter aisle. Not that; that would break the spell. "I'll buy a little mite of a present for Peggy; that's what." Peggy always said "that's what," find he smiled at the thought. His heart was hungry to see Peggy, and lie had reckoned thnt she and ma and the girls would be home now in a day or two. Their month was over. "Now, what 'II I get'i l " he mused. Idling along lazily nnd refusing to look at the familiar faces of the clerks. "What do Peggies like? Fancy notions of some sort. I may have togo to Old Adam's counter now. Not if I can help it. It's too near my old stand, an' I'm not a stoekin' tender yet—not till to morrow." lie could not decide on what to get. He distrusted his own wisdom in any thing but stockings. Ah. yes, stockings! Why not? Peggies all wear stockings, nnd suddenly he remembered the rusty black, gobble darned stockings his Peg gy had worn that day at the bench. He would have togo down the stocking counter aisle, after all. "Stockin's it Is, then." he said, tramp ing away in thnt direction. But just at the turn he looked down the aisle and uttered n low murmur of astonishment. He could scarcely credit his eyes. He was getting old, and they might be failing him. But neurer yet the vision was the same. He knew it was Peggy behind the stocking count er. Peggy! IT'' stood and watched her. She w:is waiting on a customer and did ti >t see him. Her face was a little pale and weary, but she smiled ingratiating ly and twirled the stockings about with an air of long acquaintance with their kind. Peggy! In an instant it was all clear to him. He knew it was to Peggy he owed his beautiful two weeks of rest. It was Peggy's doings! He felt an irresistible Impulse to vault over the counter like a boy nnd take Peggy in his arms. The sly, little, harum senium girl, to cheat her old daddy! He wanted to squeeze her pale little face between his palms anil kiss it a hundred times. He wanted to scold her and thank her and get her away from that place. The stocking counter at Bruce's was no place for blithe little Peggy. The customer was turning away and Peggy was putting back the boxes. Even from that distance dadtly could see that she put one in the wrong place. In the moment of starting down the aisle lie changed his mind. An instinc tive delicacy restrained him, and he hurried round the corner out of sight. No; be would ru>t sjioil Peggy's little scheme. She would like it better to have it goon uninterrupted. Peggy was "traveling Incog." now. lie would wait. Rut he told himself that by and by he would have It out with Peggy. There was a reckoning day ahead Somewhere. lie went home and waited. Closeup nt Bruce's was at «> sharp, but it was late twilight when Peggy came home. She knew daddy would be there, and she had lingered on the way. lie heard her coming In and called out brusquely: "Who's there? Hold up your hands!" "Can't do it, dadtly. They're plumb full. Why don't you have a light?" She spoke with nervous hilarity, mumbling something indistinct about trains that lost time and herdic men thnt went round Robin Hood's barn to unload their passengers. "I'm the advance guard, you know, dadtly," she cried. "Ma and the girls are coming tomorrow. I had a let—er —that is, tlie month's up. No more putting on airs for the Knoxes. "Where are you, daddy—on the couch? It's dark as a pocket." "A man gets all powerful fagged out 'tendln' stockin's. The couch oughter be the place for him," he groaned dis mally. She felt her way to him across the room. At the couch sho knelt be side him and felt for his face. "If I find the crow's feet, I'll know It's you and not a counterfeit daddy. Here we are! Daddy Knox, where are the other two?" "Under the willows, beside a trout stream, Peggy. How many feet would you have a crow have? Aren't two enough?" Taken off her guard, Peggy put her lips to his ear and whispered: "Did did the fish bite, daddy?" The day of reckoning was at hand. 801 l Meat Over a Slow Fire. I well know from my own experi ence how difficult it is to persuado cooks of this truth (of the utility of boiling hot water), but it Is so impor tant that no pains should be spared in endeavoring to remove their prejudices and enlighten their understandings. This may be done most effectually in the case before us by a method I have several times putin practice with com plete success. It is as follows: Tako two equal boilers containing equal <!11:11• *..» i el boiling hot water and put into them two equal pieces of meat taken from the same carcass— two legs of c:u'ton, for instance—nnd boll Ibem during 'he same time. Under one of t bullet make a small tire, just baro- K illicit :, to keep the water boiling bui, or rather just beginning to bolll under the other make as vehement a fire as possible anil keep the water boiling the whole time with tho utmost violence. The meat in tho boiler In which the water has been k»pt only just boiling hot will be found to bo quit" as well done as that In tho other. It will even be found to be much better cooked that is to say, tenderer, uioro juicy and much higher flavored.—Chem istry of Cooking. A V' uiig lady vehemently defends the use of high heels. She maintains that they are much more in accordance with the laws of nature than heavy, stodgy, so called "common sense" shoe heels.
