FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Raspberry Vinegar. Mash ripe red raspberries to a pulp and pour over them enough white vinegar to cover them. Do this early In the morning and set the earthen vessel containing the mixture In a cool place for the night. Strain out the pulp, add more fresh mashed berries to the liquid and set in the sun as before. The following morning strain again and add to each quart of the liquid a pint of pure cold water. Now measure all the liquid, juice and water together, and for every quart and a pint of this allow five pounds of granulated BUgar. Put all together over the fire in a porcelain lined kettle and bring slowly to a boll. As the scum rises to the top of the kettle' skim It off. Boil up .Just once, remove immediately from the fire, strain, bottle and seal. When you are ready to use It pour three generous teaspoonfuls of the “vinegar” into a tumblerful of crushed ice, fill the tumbler with iced water, stir and drink. Some Uaes For Vinegar. If a tablespoonful of vinegar is put Into the lard in which doughnuts are fried it will prevent them from absorbing too much of the fat. One or two teaspoonfuls of vinegar put into a kettle containing boiling beef or chicken will hasten it in becoming tender. A little vinegar put Into stove blacking will make it stick better and prevent dust from flying while polishing. A little vinegar put into the water when rinsing the hands does much toward curing and preventing chapped hands. Vinegar put Into a bottle of old or dried glue will moisten and make it Uke new again. Virtues of Turpentine. The medicinal qualities of turpentine are numerous. When applied to burns It gives Immediate relief. For blisters on the hands It is of great value, searing down the skin and preventing soreness. If one who has an attack of lockjaw will take a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour It on the wound which produces the lockjaw, relief will follow almost Instantly. It Is a sure preventive against moths also. By sprinkling a few drops In the bottom of chests, drawers and cupboards It will render the garments secure from injury during the summer. Preserving Convenience. The one time universal screw top Jar Is to have a rival in the shape of a patent cover, flat top jar, with automatic fastener. One style is illustrated herewith. In connection therewith a fruit jar itolder is shown which is intended for

FRUIT JAB HOLDER.

ose with the old style jar, both for screwing and unscrewing the top. This is a simple wooden collar that clamps the Jar securely while the lid Is being removed or fastened. Tension is obtained by the use of set screws. As the pressure Is applied at the base of the Jar, where It is best able to resist the same, the danger of breakage is reduced to a minimum. Moaae Rradteator. There are many objections to the use df poisonous articles to keep mice out of a house, and a fresh hint may be useful to those who are troubled with these little pests. Mice have a great antipathy to the smell of peppermint, and a little oil of peppermint placed around their haunts and holes will successfully keep them away. For Perspiring Hands. For a pocket powder for perspiring palms rice flour mixed with alum will serve qnite as well as anything of more costly character. It is sometimes useful to work the powder well Into the meshes of a thick piece of cotton wool and to shake away all loose powder. The piece of cotton wool can be readily grasped in the palm. To Cool the Oven. If when you are baking anything the oven gets too hot, put In a basin of cold water Instead of leaving the door open. This cools the oven, and tte steam rising from the water prevents the contents from burning. When cooking In a gas oven, a basin or tin of water should always be kept In the oven. When the Stew Is Bmrned. If one finds a nice stew or the vegetables caught on the bottom of the cooking pan do not bewail their loss. Just drop In a small piece of charcoal and let It boll for ten minutes. Unless It is burned “black” this will prove a perfect remedy. T*» Drive Awmr Files. Take 5 cents’ worth of essence of lavender and mix It with the same quantity of water. Pnt this mixture in a glass atomizer and spray It around the rooms. The odor Is especially disagreeable to files.

The Wings of the Morning

SYNOPSIS. Chapter I-The Sirdar, having among her passengers Iris Deane, daughter of the owner of the ship, and Robert Jenks, who is working as a waiter, Is wrecked. ll—All are lost save Miss Deane and Jenks, who are cast ashore on an islet in the Paolfic. Jenkins recovers stores and weapons from the wrecked vessel. He finds the skeleton of a European on the island. IV—A cave on the island is fitted up as a habitation. A chart of the isiaud, mysteriously marked, is found on the skeleton. V—Jenks finds a hollow filled with human skeletons, the remains of a mining party. He is rescued from an octopus by Iris while recovering riles from the wreck of the Sirdar. Vl—Jenks tells Iris that his real name is Anstruther and that, through the machinations of Lord Ventnor, he has been unjustly dismissed in disgrace from the English army. Lord Ventnor has beeu mentioned on the Sirdar as affianced to Iris. Vll—lris Is attacked by a party of fierce Dyaks (Polynesian natives). They are beaten off by Jenks, three, however escaping in their boat. The castaways dread their return. Vlll—Anstruther prepares to defend Iris and himself, fortifying a ledge of reck abovetheir care. IX—A rich gold mine, indicated on the mysterious chart of the island, is discovered in the cave. X and Xl—The Dyaks attack the Island. Among them is an escaped convict, an ludian Musselmati. They discover the hiding place, but are defeated by the Englishman. XII. An uulucky shot costs Jenks and Iris their water supply A truce with the savages, the Mussulman speaking Hindoo to Anstruther, acting as interpreter. Mir Jan, the Indian, agrees to aid Anstruther and supply him with water. Xlll—lris and Robert, in the midst of peril, avow their love for each other. The fight continues. XlV—Mir Jan is true to his word and aids the beleaguered couple. At the critical moment the three are rescued by the British warship Orient, which has been attracted to the island by the firing XV —On board the Orient is Sir Arthur Dean, father of Iris, who has been searching for his shipwrecked child. Lord Ventnor is also on board. XVI —Sir Arthur is in Lord Ventnor’s financial power and has promised that Iris shall wed him if rescued. XVll—Anstruther’s name is cleared up, and Lord Veutnor's chances for Iris' hand are ruined by the confession of the woman who aided Ventnor in Anstruther's disgrace. Sir Arthur is rescued from Ventnor’s power by Anstruther’s uncle, and Anstruther and Iris are wed. “Well, Costobell shook Ventnor off at last, with the final observation that Anstruther’s court martial has been quashed. The next batch of general orders will reinstate him In the regiment, and It rests with him to decide whether or not a criminal warrant shall be issued against his lordship for conspiracy." “What did Miss Deane do?” “Clung to Anstruther like a weeping angel and kissed everybody all round when Ventnor got away. Well—hands off. I mean her father, Anstruther and the stout uncle. Unfortunately I was not ou in that scene. But for some reason they all nearly wrung my arm off, and the men were so excited that they gave the party a rousing cheer as their rickshaws weut off in a bunch.” The next commotion arose in the hoj tel when Sir Arthur Deane seized the first opportunity to explain the predicament in which his company was placed and the blow which Lord Ventnor yet had it in his power to deal. Mr. William Anstruther was an interested auditor. Robert would have spoken, but his uncle restrained him. “Leave this to me, lad,” he exclaimed. “When I was coming here in the Sirdar there was a lot of talk about Sir Arthur's scheme, and there should not be much difficulty In raising all the brass required if half what I heard be true. Sit you down. Sir thur, and tell us all about it” The shipowner required no second bidding. Wfth the skill for which he was noted he described his operations In detail, telling how every farthing of the first Installments of the two great loans was paid up, how the earnings of his fleet would quickly overtake the deficit in capital value caused by the loss of the three ships and how iu six months’ time the leading financial houses of Loudon, Paris and Berlin would be offering him more money than he would need. To a shrewd mail of business the project could not fail to commend itself, and the Yorkshire squire, though a trifle obstinate in temper, was slngu-' larly clear headed In other respects. He brought his great fist down on the table with a whack. “Send a cable to your company, Sir Arthur,” ho cried, “and tell them that your prospective son-in-law will provide the £IO.OOO you require. I will see that his draft is honored. You can add. If you like, that another ten will be ready If wanted when this lot Is spent. I did my lad one deuced bad turn In my life. This time. I think, 1 am doing him a good one." “You are. Indeed.” said Iris’ father, enthusiastically. "The unallotted capital he is taking up will be worth four times Its face value in two yenrs.” “All the more reason to make his holding twenty instead of ten,” roared the Yorkshlreman. "But, look here. You talk about dropping proceedings against that precious earl whom I saw today. Why not tell him not to try any funny tricks until Robert’s money la safely lodged to your account? We have him in our power. Dash it all, let us use him a bit.” Even Iris laughed at this naive suggestion. It was delightful to think that their arch enemy was actually helping the baronet’s affairs at that very moment and would continue to do ao until he waa flung aside as being of no further yalue. Although Ventnor himself had carefuly avoided any formal commitment, the cablegrams awaiting the shipowner at Singapore showed that confidence bad already been restored by the uncontradicted use of his lordship's name. Robert at last obtained a hearing. “You two are quietly assuming the attitude of the financial magnates of this gathering," he said. “I must ad-

mlt that you have managed things very well between you, and I do not propose for one moment to Interfere with your arrangements. Nevertheless, Iris and I are really the chief moneyed persons present You spoke of financial houses in England and on the continent backing up your loans six months hence, Sir Arthur. You need not go to them. We will be your bankers.” The baronet laughed with a whole hearted gayety that revealed whence Iris got some part at least of her bright disposition. “Will you sell your island, Robert?” he cried. “I am afraid that not even Iris could wheedle any one into buying it" ■- - -- - “ But; “But; father, dear," Interrupted the girl earnestly, “what Robert says is true. We have a gold mine there. It is worth so much that you will hardly believe it until there can no longer be any doubt In your mind. I suppose thut is why Robert asked me not to mention his discovery to you earlier.” “No, Iris, that was not the reason,” said her lover, and the elder men felt that more than idle fancy inspired the astounding intelligence that they had just heard. “Your love was more to me than all the gold in the world. I had won you. I meant to keep you, but I refused to buy you." He turned to her father. His pentup emotion mastered him, and he spoke as one who could no longer restrain his feelings. “I have bad no chance to thank you for the words you uttered at the moment we quitted the ship. Yet I will treasure them while life lasts. You gave Iris to me when I was poor, disgraced, an outcast from my family and my profession. And I know why you did this thing. It was because you valued her happiness more than riches or reputation. I am sorry now I did not explain matters earlier. It would have saved you much needless suffering. But the sorrow has sped like an evil dream, and you will perhaps not regret it, for your action today binds me to you with hoops of steel. And you, too, uncle. You traveled thousands of miles to help and comfort me in my anguish. Were I as bad as I was painted your kind old heart still pitied me. You were prepared to pluck me from the depths of iespair and degradation. Why should t hate Lord Ventnor? What man could have served me as he did? He has given me Iris. He gained for me at her father’s hands a concession such as mortal has seldom wrested from black browed fate. He brought my uncle to my side in the hour of my adversity. Hate him! I would have his statue carved in marble and set on high to tell all who passed how good may spring out of evil—how God's wisdom can manifest itself by putting even the creeping and crawling things of the earth to some useful purpose.” “Dash It all, lad,” vociferated the elder Anstruther, “what ails thee? I never heard you talk like this before?” The old gentleman’s amazement was bo comical that further tension was out of the question. Robert, in calmer mood, Informed them of the manner in which he hit upon the mine. The story sounded like wildest romance—this finding of u volcanic dyke guarded by the bones of “J. S.” and the poison filled quarry—but the production of the ore samples changed wonder into certainty. Next day a government metallurgist estimated the value of the contents of the two oil tins at about £SOO. yet the specimens brought from the island were not by any means the richest available. And now there is not much more to tell of Rainbow island and its castaways. On the day that Captain Robert Anstruther’s name appeared In the Gazette, reinstating him to his

"Sweetheart," said her husband.

rank and regiment, Iris and he were married in the English church at Hongkong, for It was his wife’s wish that

the place which witnessed Id. ignominy should also witness his triumph. Soon afterward Robert resigned his commission. He regretted the necessity, but the demands of his new sphere in life rendered this step imperative. Mining engineers, laborers, stores, portable bouses, engines and equipment were obtained with an haste, and the whole party sailed on one of Sir Arthur Deane’s ships to convoy a small steamer specially hired to attend to the wants of the miners. At last, one evening early in July, the two vessels anchored outside Palm Tree rock, and Mir Jan could be seen running frantically about the shore, for no valid reason save that he could not stand still. The sahib brought him good news. The governor of Hongkong felt that any reasonable request made by Anstruther should be granted If possible. He had written such a strong representation of the Mohammedan’s case to the government of India that there was little doubt the returning mail would convey an, official notification that Mir Jan had been granted a free pardon. The mining experts verified Robert’s most sanguine views after a very brief examination of the deposit. Hardly any preliminary work was needed. In twenty-four hours a small concentrating plant was erected and a ditch made to drain off the carbonic anhydride in the valley. After dusk a party of coolies cleared the quarry of its former occupants. Toward the dose of the following day, when the great steamer once more slowly turned her head to the northwest, Iris could hear the steady thud of an engine at work on the first consignment of ore. Robert had been busy up to the last moment. There was so much to be done In a short space of time. The vessel carried a large numlier of passengers, and he did not wish to detain them too long, though they one and all expressed their willingness to suit his convenience in this respect. Now his share of the necessary preparations was concluded. His wife, Sir Arthur and his uncle were gathered in a corner of the promenade deck when he apprqpched and told them that his last instruction ashore was for a light to be fixed on Summit rock as soon as the dynamo was in working order. “When we all come back in the cold weather,” he explained gleefully, “we will not Imitate the Sirdar by running on to the reef should we arrive by night.” Iris answered not. Her blue eyes were fixed on the fast receding cliffs. “Sweetheart.” said her husband, “why are you so silent?" She turned to him. The light of the setting sun Illumined her face with its golden radiance. “Because I am so happy,” she sald. “Oh, Robert, dear, so happy and thankful!” THE END.
