CHAPTER XV. Last night there had been rain as the darkness grew to dawn, anil now a soft moisture is rising from the leaves lying on the sodden ground. Amber, picking her steps delicately, not on the wet path, but on the spongy moss that skirts it, goes on her way through the almost leaflet wood, her head a little bent and a smile upon her lips tbnt is half sweet, half sad. and full of a new wor.'lemient. The night gone by had been a strange one for her. For the first time in all her curious girlhood, she had. for one thiTig-. lain wide awake as hour by hour went by, thinking, thinking, and her thoughts carried her far, and far, but always back to one center. Th.it kiss upon her hand! It had gone from her hand to her heart and stayed there. What did it mean? That is the burden of all her thinking. Does he love her? Can he love her? Her ! her! It is a reniiM1ou3 question, ani takes great answering. A whole sleepless night long lying with sleepless eyes working it out is surely but a very short time t& give to so momentous, so wonderful, so She hardly knows what sort of question it is. At breakfast, held in bondage still by this worrying thought, she hardly dares to look at Hilary: and breakfast over, had slipped away to the eternal comfort, and rest, of the silent v.'jods. Here she will work it out. Here she will be able to think indeed. Softly, but with a little chill in it, blows the wind. Xow there are but few leaves left to play with it, to make a pretty fight, to shake their green and tender pennons in its face with saucy defiance. Will she ever "forget? All at once, walking quietly through the woods, she knows that she never will. She knows that she loves him. Such knowledge is an education in itself. The girl stands quite still staring straight before her. She loves him. and he loves her. She is quite as sure of one as of the other. Her soul seems to -oar to heaven as this blest thought enters into it; and then all at once, in the twinkling of an eye as it were, it sicks to hell. ' To love him. to permit him to love her, will mean ruin to him! Sir Lucien would not hear of a mirriage between them and Sir Lucion has it in his power to disinherit him. Mr. Everard had told her that.. And and of course there is something to be said for Sir Lucien. She will be fair! Quite fair. A girl whose father i3 accused of doing away with very valuable jewels that in no way belonged to him, is hardly a girl one would wish one's heir t marry. Unless the jewels are restored, and her father's same cleared of dishonor all joy and hope in her life are at an end. It is at this point of hcY sad reflections that she lifts her eyes and sees Brian Deane standing a few yards away from her. She is conscious that she starts a tittle at his sudden appearance, but going quickly forward she gives him her nand. which he tahes and holds, staring eafvrly at her face. ''AJone !" says he. All fhe love for her tlat his wild untutored "aetrt undoubtedly knows, docs not prevent the touch of sarcasm that enters into his voice. "Not even the handsome cousin to keep you company. Or, perhaps, with sadden darkening of his frov uiny brows, you are on your way to nit? J. Lim? I have come out to meet nobody. says Amber coldly, and with a glance of scorn. l'm glad to hear it. I have been waiting about the place for days in the hope of seeing you." "Why should you do that? Why not come straight to the house and ask to see me? You, with a little rush, a though the thought is distasteful to her "you are my cousin. "With all that lot round you? No! I wanted to see you alone. You remember that last conversation I had with your "No distinctly. "I thought it wiser to forget it. "Your wisdom doesn't seem to have helped you, says he with an ugly sneer. "It's hard to forget isn't it? Does anyone forget, I wonder? I would to heaven it weren't so hard, for then I might perhaps be able to forget you! But I crn't, you see. That's what it comes to. I can't put you out of my mind. Why do you talk to me like this, Brian," says the girl very gently, "when you know that it is so useless?" "What I know," says he, his pale, dogged face now a dull crimson, "is that it shall not be useless. No! Mine you shall be." Suddenly catching her by both her arms, he compels her with brute force so to turn that a fuller light from the dull sky fail upon her face. You think you love that fellow ! You think that he loves you. I tell . you, jou are a fool. Doubly a fool." "Take your hands away, Brian," says sae at last, not angrily, not nervously but with a cold courage, a haughty command, that seems to go to his very soul. He releases her instantly. "Of course I quite understand that you hardly know what you are saying or doing," she goes on; "therefore I forgive you, and shall bear you no ill-wilL" She lightly brushes down the sleeves of her coat where has hands had held her. All the most violent words of contempt or anger she could have showered upon him could not have conveyed to him hilf so clearly as this slow and simple gesture the state of her mind towards hin. It is casting him from her into outer darkness indeed ! "Ill-will frcm you to me ! Why, I am the one who loves- you ! You are the only thing I love on earth th only thing I ever have loved. You think that Captain Adare will marry you! I tell you he neither will nor can. His utele would disinherit him if he did so. But I love you !" I am sorry, says she very kindly, ve:7 sweetly, but as he feels, finally. Vhat do you mean?" cries he fiercely. 'Be sorry for yourself! When he shows you plainly at the last, that his uncle's thousands are more tp him than a penniless girl a girl.too, with the story of her father's dishonor hung round her neck, as her on!y wedding ornament" here he laughs, wildly, "how will it be with you tienr - "Listen to me." says ;-d, her voice vibrating with some hidden feeling. "Let me speak. I tell you I shall not marry Captain Adare,' or any other ma j, until my father's memory has been nsde clear. You alone can clear it, if. imbed" hero she pales perceptibly "you speak the truth. She goes nearer to him her eyes are burning into his. "Is it the truth, Brian? ' Is it? Why don't you answer? Why don't you speak? You say you love me and love mans saciiöce. And if you do know where those tireadful jewels are, give them to Sir Lucien. Give them," she throws out her hands to him in a little passion of entreaty, "and so far at least prove that my poor father was not a thief!" "And so leave you free to , marry Adare." "Oh, no! oh, no! I was not thinking of that." "If I did what you say" he has come very close to her- -"would you marry me?" He waits, and waits and still waits.

if n

Then she lifts her face! It would have been so simple a thing to promise, and then, when the jewels were restored, to refuse to fulful her pledge. But when she lifts her face it is so white and lined with grief that he hardly knows it. Still, she has decided. "No !" says she in a faint, sad tone. His nostrils dilate. "You say that with a face like death itself! Has his supposed love brought you to look like that? I tell you the time will come when you will be glad to cast all thoughts of him behind you. and marry me! "I shall never marry you," says s,he firmly. They are both standing on the pathway, staring at eich other, when a shadow falls between them. Amber's eyes are still Sashing as she raises them to see Sir Lucien. CHAPTER XIV "Oh, yes, I think you will," says Sir Lucien, coming forward and addressing Amber. "I quite sure you will." He had only heard the last sentence of the conversation between Deane and Amber. "I don't think so." coldly. "When I tell jou all the facts of the caffe," says Sir Lucien, still very agreeably, "I am sure you will see your way to another snswer. The fact is that your cousin here knows something about those lost stones of our house. that jour poor mother was entrusted with in a weak moment, by my father and " "Pray spare yourself the trouble of going into it," says Amber, with a wonderful calm. "I know all about it! Mr. Deane," with a glance at him from under haughty, half-closed lids that should have withered him, "Mr. Deane knows where those jewels are, on which you have set your heart, and the price he sets on their delivery to you is me. Well," turning faintly upon them, with grief and tears and terror and reproach in her beautiful eyes, I am not tor sale: "You forget one point," says Sir Lucien, his voice perfectly cairn. "It is to clear jour father's memory that we desire this thing. If Mr. Dean can produce these gems, then the suspicion of your father's having made away vith them is at an end. If you marry th's most estimable cousin of yours, he has promised to let me know where the stones are concealed. You see how the case lies." He looks at her for the first time fully. "You will consent V "No," says Amber, for the second time. Her tone is fuller now, however, and mach stronger. "You refuse!" Sir Lucien's face of affected suavity now clouds into a sort of fury. "You refuse ! who have been reported as so anxious for the clearing of your father's memory in this matter." "My father," says the girl clearly, "would not have had mo clear his memory at the expense of my own happiness. He loved me too much for that. You !" she lifts her eyes to Sir Lucien's "you, who have never loved anyone, cannot, of course, understand this." "Hypocrite I" cries Sir Lucien furiously. "You, who have paraded your longing to see your father's memory made sweet, now, when the chance comes to you, refuse to use it." "I am no hypocrite," says the girl, standing straight and firm before him. "I am no sycophant either. I feel" she turns and takes a step away from them "I shall be better at home. Brian," looking back imperiously at Deane, "go and bring the dog-cart for me as soon as you can." Sir Lucien is about to give a hasty consent to this order, when his glance happens to fall on Deane. The str.inge, forbidding, but handsome face is dark with anger; a stronger, more dangeroue anger, than even the girl's refusal to marry him had called forth. As he looks the older man gasps the truth. Any insult to Amber will be deeply, violently resented by this strange, uniputh man. "No, no," exclaims Sir Lucien, vith a gesture of his hands. "I shall not allow you. my guest, my niece to leave my house before your visit has come to an end. There is no need for such violent temper on your part." She is silent. War is raging within her war between love and pride. To go is to satisfy the latter. To stay is to satisfy her love! Oh! to be with him for even a few hours longer! To see him, to be near him ; though never, never, can he be more to her than he is now. That he loves her, she knows. Her clear, sweet instinct has brought that home to her, though not a word has been said by him to her that she can dream upon. Nothing, except that kiss upon her hand last night. What magic lay in it ! what wondrous charm! she she alone can tell. And because of that sweet knowledge, and with its power full upon her, she wrestles with, and overcomes her pride, and, as all true lovers will, lets love stand triumphant ! "As you wish," returns she coldly, to Sir Lucien. "My visit, however, will ba over in a few days." "In the meantime," says Sir Lucien, who is afraid of Deane's frowning watchfulness, "you will, I hope, understand that you are a very welcome guest within my doors." She lifts her eyes to his for a moment ; it is a little time, but his sink before hers. Then, turning away from both men, she is soon lost amongst the trees and bushes. "A troublesome subject," says Sir Lucien, shrugging his shoulders as she disappears, and turning to Deane, whose gaze is still fixed on the corner where the last inch or so of her gown had been seen. "You have courage, my good Deane ! You might make a better bargain with me, perhaps. "Her or nothing!" The answer comes clear and stern. Sir Lucien suppresses very cleverly an expression of deep disgust. What fools some men are, he tells himself, and all for the sake of a woman. "You have given me your word that I can have the girl in exchange for the gems. That's good enough for me. But it will take time and help." "It shall be as you will," slowly icily. "As I will! What about her? Can you compel her to my will?" "I think so. But I tell you thai she's in love with that nephew of yours, and that it wUl take you all your time to' get her to marry me." "In love with Hilary?" "I don't know what his name is, says Deane sulkily, "but I'm talking of your nephew, anyway.' "I am sure you are mistaken." "Are you?" with a snarl. "I'm not. You think you know a lot, don't you? I tell you she is in love with him, and I tell you once more, be is in love with her !" "No, no! Impossible. I have watched them. Impossible, I tell you. And even if it were true" reading and answering the look in the other man's face "it shall come to nothing. His life, his future, lies in my hand. Lies" (holding out his exquisitely shaped old hand and pointing to the hollow of the palm) "here! His voice has fallen very low, but his eyes tell a good deal. They at all events convey to Deane the certainty that if Adare should persist in his mad infatuation for Amber, Sir Lucien would cut him off with the proverbial shilling. "I can see what you mean," says

Deane. still In a very surly toae. And then, "You will be at Madam's dance?" "I don't think so," says Sir Lucien, who abhors Madam and all her works. "You had better be there," 6ays the other with a threatening air. "I shall want your support, your countenance. You'll have to keep an eye on the girl that night, whilst 1" he takes a step nearer to Sir Lucien. and lays his hand upon his shoulder. "A word, Adare." Sir Lucien winces at this familiarity "I shall keep an eye on him. Then we shall compare notes, and know. One has only one pair of eyes, my good fellow. You'll help me?" "You forget yourself, sir, when you speak to me like that," Sir Lucien, his brows darkening. "Go, sir. (Jo!' haughtiiy. VOh I None of your rot," returns Deane, with a coarse laugh. "Do you think you can dismiss me now, with an uppish word or two? Have 3011 forgotten those letters of yours? Ycu'll come to that dance, do you henr? You spoke a moment ago of having your precious nephew in your hand. Well, as you hold him, so I hold you." lie spreads out his palm towards him. "Here! Just here!" says he with a laugh of diabolical delight. (To be continued.)

WHEN BRITAIN BECOMES LONDON Ulli to Kxtend the City's Rights Will Ue Opposed. "Enjglaml shortly will be London and London England," said King James I. in alarm 3GO years a 1:0. and lie forbade any one to build on new foundations within two miles of the city. Charing Cross, which is now the geographical center of London, then was a hamlet in the fields. To-day the same situation is being repeated, saj-s the Kansas City Star. The nation is afraid cf being overshadowed by the city, which is claiming its rights to expand. .One of the bills which will be Introduced at the present session of parliament will provide for the creation of a greater London. It will be backed by the power and Inlluence of the London county council and will have as Its aim the placing of the whole metro'wlis area, with Its jtopulation of more than. 7,(M),000 persons, mider the control of one central authority. At present the county council governs the administrative county of London, with a population of about 4,500,000, and eveu now parliament is jealous of its power. The opjiosltlon to the new bill will come from those members of parliament who believe with King James I. that "England will shortly be London and London England." The jurisdiction of the London county council covers an area which is roughly contained within a circle having Charing Cro.ss as its center and a radios of about Dve miles. The metropolitan police area which it is proIosed to bring under the control of the London county council,, or some body which may be constituted to suetvoJ It, is contained in a fifteen-mile circle. It comprises the county of London, the whole of the county of Middlesex rnd parts of tie comities of Surrey, Kent, Essex and Hertford. More than 500,000 people have been added to the population of outer London In seven yours and the process is still going on. All these people are truly Londoners in their habits, in their sympathies and iu their interests, yet they are being governed by authorities designed for the administration of the area In which tb?y lived when it was occupied by farms and villages. If the new bill goes through it will govern a tenth of the whole population - t England and Its revenue will be nearly half that collected now for national purposes. At present it has control of the education of nearly 700,000 children, and if it takes over tho schools controlled by the authorities in the surrounding boroughs it will be responsible for a million youngsters. It spends nearly $50,000,000 a year and, it has a gross debt of about $400,000. 000. It has 40,000 people on its pay rolls, but If it takes in the additional area demanded by the bill now before parliament It will have an army of at least 300,000 men In Its pay, for the bill contemplates not only extending its area, but giving it greater control over the subordinate authorities within its own are;. It owns 117 miles of street -car line-.; and last year it carried 350,000,000 passengers. She Made Matters "Worse. "They say country folks are too blunt," remarked Miss Lainson, "but you give me a blunt one every time, instea 1 of one" of these folks that thinks she has so much tact she'd better go roi ud smoothing off other people's edes." "That Mis' Prouty boarding over to The Willows been here?" inquired her brother, solicitously. "Yes, she has!" snapped Miss Lamson. "She came yesterday, bringing that young woman from Boston to see our old china and so on. "She was a kind of a blundering girl, and when she asked me if father made that hundred-and-twenty-flve-year-oid high-boy, and if the china that I'd told 'eni was over eighty-five years old to my knowledge was one of mother's wedding presents, It kind of tickled me. "But in come that Prouty woman alone to-day, saying she felt she must apologize for her friend. That she was very young and 'hadn't any appreciation of relative ages, and 'of course it was perfectly absurd for any one to talk that way, with my hair still thick on my head,' and a lot more talk like that "I endured it as well as I could, and thanked her for her good Intentions, but I can tell you that whereas I had a good laugh yesterday and felt quite young and skittish, to-day I feel old enough for father to have made that high-boy, and had a few years to spare beside!" The Wily Owl. A party of horsemen were traveling along Bridge creek, a tributary of Bad Water river, Wyoming, when 'heir horses suddenly shied off the track at the sound of a "rattle." Search was made for the snake, but It was Anally found that the sound proceeded from the burrowing owl, which lives In the burrows of the prairie dog, often, It Is said. In company with the rattlesnake. Seated on a post the party heard the owl give a third rattle. And whenever they passed the spot It gave warning by its rattle, and the horses always shied off the track In alarm. American Naturalist A f'rrtaln Way.

The llnppy "Woman. The really happy woman does exist, though we are apt to overlook her quiet presence in the noisy circle of the discontented and unsatisfied. Somehow her voice is seldom heard. It seems unnecessary for her to sound her own joy bells, though her less-favored sisters do not hesitate to send forth the town crier with the news of their domestic discords, or to publish in hourly editions the history of undeserved sorrows and misfortunes. The really happy woman is not always "smart." Her frocks are not always described as "creations" in the society columns. She does not confuse the terms "happiness" and "pleasure," for she realizes the wide difference between them. She knows that happiness is "gunshy" and Is elusive game, which seldom falls to the bag of the hunter, but rather conies shyly and quietly and unsought as one sits in a garden with book or work. In the nursery with the babies, or in any spot remote from the crowd. To Dust a Room. To properly dust a room It must be thoroughly done, and that means carefully done. A feather brush or a turkey wing is excellent for brushing the backs of pictures and one of the best wall dusters is a clean cotton mop. The furu ture is dusted before the chalrboard ani floor. One of the best dusters is a cotton cloth wrung out of turpentine and dried. It accumulates all dust, doe-J not scatter it and , brightens the furniture. Woolen cloths are best for the chalrboard and floor. When using polish, old stocking legs are good for applying the polish or polishing the wood. The cheap cotton ones contain little lint, are soft and serve for this purpose. Windows may be dusted with a clean feather brush, though cheesecloth Is good for polishing them; also soft tissue paper or crumpled newspapers. If heavy furniture cannot be removed from a room! protect the pieces with sheets. A soft whisk broom answers splendidly for cleaning upholstered pieces. -nrn of Olive OH. Not every one realizes the medicinal properties of olive oil. It is quite true that the machinery of the body needs oiling occasionally, like any mechanical machine which is constantly in use, and olive oil, taken Internally, will be exceedingly beneficial. A tablesioonfuI will aid the digestion and ease liver trouble. This oil should be served frequently as a dressing and is not only pleasant on vegetables, but serves as an appetizer as well. Taken internally, either with salads or alone, it is beneficial for catarrh, either of the stomach or throat, It is known to be a great help in cases of run-dawn nervous system and loss of weight: It should be rubbed well Into the skin, the entire body being massaged with the oil, particularly the spine. After massaging with olive oil use a Turkish tow?!, rubbing well over the body. As a preventive of colds mix It with quinine and rub on the chest and back. v It can also be applied mixed with camphor to cure soreness of the throat. Pf eck wear Easy to Slake. Here is one of the new striped turnover collars with scalloped edges. Inside of each scallop is the embroidered dot, which may be transformed Into a flower or conventional pattern. These collars in imiorted makes cost as high as $1-30. They can be bought In the pattern, stamped on striped lawa or linen, for 10 cents each, and any deftfingered girl can embroider one for herself. In the same cut are shown two styles f lingerie ties, "the elaborate jabot and the butterfly bow. Both are made from lawn, edged with lace, but the Clever girl will embroider and scallop ''liers with floss to match her shirt. ' The fourth illustration shows the new filet collar which fits snugly behind the ear. These collars are most effective when made from filet or princess net, with strips of embroidery in white, ecru or delicate ornamental colorings to hide where the celluloid or bone supports are used. This sort of collar Is worn with net, silk and even lingerie blouses. Smart Little Froek.The drawing shows a very smart little frock, which will serve as an excellent model for various materials. The original gown svas of pale violet linen, with buttons of the same, embroidered in white and bra it! loops simulating buttonholes, on each side of the yoke. The undor-bodke or guiruj? was of washable ring-dot tulle, tucked and inserted with narrow Cluny beading. The skirt was short and on the plain gored model. fiooT-nje Frown. A woman who had frowning lines quite wiped them away by tying on a coin at night. She covered a 50-eent piece with chamois, first padding the silver with cotton. Then at eacn side of the disk she sewed a piece of ribbon an Inch wide. After massaging her forehead at night she tied on the bandage so that the coin came directly over the frown, pressing out the lines. a year of this method cured her. Kmbrolilery in Color. Of the fine mull and linen waists to be worn with the more dressy rajah and mohair tailored conts and skirts, embroidery in colors matching the gown costume may be used or a color carrying out the color used In some detill of the gown's trimniitg. Delicate-

ly tinted linens In pale blue, green and rose color may be embroidered In black, brown or whatever color goes well with the linen and matches some color in the costume. Mauve and yellow are charming in linen embroidered in darker self tones of the same color, if mauve; If yellow, then in brown or black. To Improve the Complexion. Water will do wonders for one If people but realized it. As a complexion maker, for Instance, "t Is a great iMautifier, used both Internally and ex.ernally. . ; An excellent tonic effect may be had by taking a face bath at least ouce a day in cold water. Fill a basin with the water, placing it on a stand or chair where it can be conveniently reached without too much stooping. Drawing a long breath, dip the face in and out of the cold water for about two or three mluutes. Wheu it is necessary to breathe the nouth can be lifted from the water, but Immediately take another deep breath. To Wnh Lace Tie. Now that so many women wear lingerie cravats, it Is good to know how to wash them. Make a lather of soap ami water, then squeeze the lace through and through the lather several times, taking care not to wring it. Rinse In milk, when the lace on them will become quite crisp, without being too stiff. If a cream tint Is desired, add cold tea to the milk till the proper shade is obtained. Iron on the wrong side on some thick material. IVew It ace Peril. A new race peril Is brought to notice ly Prof. Karl Pearson from ids investigations in Imgland on the inheritance of tuberculosis. He finds that the first one or two children born are more likely than others to be tuberculosis and to Inherit defects of the parents, and the modern tendency to limit families to one or two children, therefore, not only makes no allowance for the Inevitable waste of child life, 'mt also must Increase the proportion of weak and diseased individuals In the community. Muht Air. At nljht In bedrooms the fresh air is a necessity of life. It Is folly to rail at "night air" as If It were a mysterious poison. As a matter of fact, there is no air at night but night air, and it happens to be always far purer than dry air, at any rate, In towns. It should be freely admitted without draught. There can be no doubt that, though Impure air may be a slow poison, It is a sure one. It lowers the whole tone of the system, and lays the unsuspected foundation for numerous and fatal disease. Idea for Rirthdny Party. This interesting scheme was carried out by a daughter in preparing for her mother's sixtieth birthday. Previously to the ocasion she wrote to a number of friends and relatives asking them to write a reminiscent letter to reach her on or before the day. These were put in a basket decorated with roses, presented to her mother who read them aloud to the guests, who were all old friends asked in to "drink tea." These missives from afar were most entertaining and furnished all the amusement necessary. I 'or Mrndlnx China. For mending china the white of au egg and pulverized unslaked lime is a strong cement. Dip a small brush into the egg white, slightly beaten, and brush the edges to be joined. Then quickly dust one edge with a little of the lime and place the edges together accurately; hold In place firmly for a couple of minutes, then set aside to dry. This must be done quickly. 4 lind Tempered "Wife. A gertleman was once driving with his wife, who did not iksscss the best of tempers, vhen their carriage had some difliculty In passing a wagon It, a narrow part of the road. The lady, who was rowing impatient, began tt sieak rather sh;vrly to the carter, v3 suddenly went up to the side of the carriage a 'id asked if he might speak to the gentleman. The lady, whose temper had rapidly become worse, answered for

The carter touched his hat and looked hard at the gentleman, saying very quietly: "Sir, I do pity 'ee from the bottom of my heart, I've got just such another brute at home myself." To clean a white Milan or a split straw, scrub with a tooth brush or nail brush dipped in ayeak solution of oxalic acid and t water, then with clear water, not wetting more than necessary. Then scatter precipitate of sulphur and lay In the sun. Brush off with a clean brush when dry and your hat will be clean and white. A black Milan, or hemp braid, or horse hair, clean with nap side of velvet dipped In alcohol and rubbed thoroughly with the tips of the fingers. Black chip, give a coat of bottle shoe blacking. Colored hats, clean with gasoline and a piece of velvet Faded hats can be tinted with dye made of oil paints and gasoline. The only remedy for chip hats that are sunburned or faded is to give them a coat of polish or take them to a professional. White, colored and black lace, or net hats can be cleaned by dipping the entire hat devoid of trimming,. In clean gasoline and drying outside. Instand of Curtain Roda. At a bargain store, get a copper-covered wire about as thick as your little finger, and have them cut it the width of your windows. Also buy two screw eyes. Put a screw eye on each side of the sash owning, one of them so that the wire will slip In. Bun the wire through the curtain casings and put the ends In the eyes. Your curtains will hang as nicely as though the fixtures had cost three times 15 cents, the actual cost of your "rods." The-June Delineator. Lamp Dornen. The burners of lamps which have been for some time In use are apt to appear tarnished and blackened despite efforts to clean them with ordinary brass polish. The experiment should be tried of first removing the wicks and then rinsing the burners In hot water, placing them In an old saucepan ou the fire, anU pouring in last of all sufficient buttermilk to cover them. After boiling for some time in the milk, a considerable Improvement wlil be apparent. Relation In the Xavy. Mrs. Evans, the wife of the great naval commander, has many naval relatives. Three of her brothers were in the navy, her son Frank is also In the navy, and her two daughters studied for he Bed Cross service. Her great-grandfather was one of the heroes of the revolution, but her father was a scholarly man, who kept a book store In Washington and . bought the first bond issued by the government In connection with the civil war. lVipnlar Wrap.

Orders Issued to All Branches for Tribute to Dead Ex-Chief." In Washington appropriate honors were paid to the memory of ex-Presi dent Cleveland by all branches of thi national government. Immediately upon receipt of the President's proclamation, formally announcing Mr. CleveaTs death, steps were taken to carry out the provisions of the executive proclamation.
