the highest character that morrow looked hard at her and his ruddy cheeks went a trifle white julietta he said quietly i know youre straight ill bank on you till till hades freezes over but for heav

ten dollars here and now that i can morrow reached into his pocket and pulled out a gold piece as he threw it on her desk his hand was trembl ing prove it he said his voice hoarse youre getting into a hole all right but your uncle paul has turned up in time thank the lord prove it julietta reached for the gold piece and dropped it into a drawer ill keep that for a memory piece uncle paul read this the drillers struck a gusher at nine this morning he took the telegram from her hand read it and looked up for a long moment silent then with a sudden bound he gained his feet and his hands caught hers oh my girl my girl he cried huskily im so glad for your sake im glad he turned away from her and look ed out through the window he was conscious that age failure defeat had come upon him almost unseen and for a moment he sid not feel the hand that clutched at his uncle paul juliettas voice brought him around facing her again have you a thousand dollars free he nodded vaguely well ive reserved ten thousand shares for you at ten cents he started again pallor crept into his face no what juliettas eyes- widened no in his gaze was finality and she read his clear mind like a i tied back in the luxurious seat mem ories flooding in upon her like an overwhelming tide she was com pletely and terribly homesick not for the first time but now for the first time the feeling gripped her that she could go back the cool white grapes had awakened in her an intense al most frantic craving for the san joaquin crushing one of the grapes between her teeth she felt the tang of it thrill yes she must go back to la vina back to the valley under the purple hills the call was this time irresistible she stepped from the car and enter ed into the cool of the house it wasj a roomy and comfortable house with many french windows opening on to broad galleries and throughout the past year its building and turnishing had kept julietta busy and happy in her new life idle she could never be it had been morrows suggestion that mrs drake share juliettas home act ing as companion chaperon and friend the arrangement was a hap py one and mrs drake had long since secured julietta in an enviable social position julietta the basket of grapes still in her hand passed through into mrs drakes sittingroom which overlook ed the barranco aunt helen she said abruptly i think ill phone uncle paul to come out for dinner tonight i have a great big piece of news news mrs drake glanced up a sudden pallor about her lips news about you and paul you mean julietta affected not to catch the ob vious meaning of those words some thing in the older womans face struck through her in a cold sense of realiza tion she turned and sought her own room breathless with the surprise of that which she had seen in the eyes of mrs drake she was startled awed frightened and a little angry why had paul morrow never seen that that helen brilliant attack on zeebrugge and ostend carry on best traditions of the british navy few exploits during the war have gratified the british public so much as viceadmiral keyes raid on zee brugge and ostend on the 23rd of april last and though popular in stinct often goes wrong on military and naval matters on this occasion we think that it was right says a london newspaper the plan was to block the entrance to the harbors of zeebrugge and os tend a project which involved hazards of the most extraordinary kind even in daylight and without the fear of shorefire to navigate such waters to day without striking a mine or run ning aground can be no easy feat at nighttime the difficulties may be dimly appreciated by anyone who has entered a british port at night imagine all lights out and no signals of any sort add to this the com parative novelty of these ports after three years of german labor on them and we may form some idea of the navys exploit- a task well done the official report runs thus lieut stuart bonhamcartcr commanding the intrepid placed the nose of his ship nearly on the mud of the western bank ordered his crew away and blew up his ship by the switches in the chart room four dull bumps was all that could bo heard and immediately afterwards there arrived on deck the engineer who had been in the engineroom dur ing tho explosion and reported that all was as it should be profits of different people storage and oughly worth while but if we can add all that sort of thing have to be taken several to our list of good ideas from into consideration naturally the cus- uime to time we are not only benefit- p p sometimes she i ms satisfied to do so because he feels ed ourselves but our general re- that in the case of some of her gro- soureefulness is developed and we are strength is retained and sani- able to pass something helpful on to tation insured but if you have to pay others the first saving i am going to giveu you today is in egg whites with the coming of summer we relish light er and more dainty food than in the winter and so desserts with mer ingues have been accustomed to grace our tables eggs continue to be ex- ten twelve or fifteen cents more a pound for coffee cocoa etc than for a very satisfactory bulk

she jaced it calmly unafraid sit down please now uncle do you remember that night at alexandria my birthday when jhi gave me that lovely pearl neck- fm xip drake loved him julietta sat down knowing that the whv could he not love her instead of racial moment was upon her she loving julietta poor lizzie dare i during the rest of that day this thought dwelt unshaken in juliettas mind that evening however as she had quite expected morrow heard juli ettas announcement of her intentions with his kindly nonprotesting smile the past year had developed in him a trait of concealment almost oriental why yes he answered ive been expecting it the longing to go back is certain to come to all of us julietta it was those muscats she said and laughed the sight of them brought everything to me again oh you understand what i mean uncle paul this society business is too easy a trifle at her nodded and his eyes stily sought the pearl oat i told you that night the kind of ure i had planned for myself

so as to pay for few because grain is high and we are urg- d to conserve it when you have occasion to make a delicious meringue and your recipe calls for two egg whites take one egg of fair size break it as nearly in two as possible separate yolk and white fill onehalf of the egg shell with ice water and add to tha white also a pinch of salt and a pinch of cream of tartar now beat exactly as you would if you had two egg whites at the proper time sweeten and season you will find that you have a surpris ing quantity of meringue which will stand up and brown nicely in the oven without any tendency to separate try this the next economy has to do with package and bulk goods you will find that many of the goods which come in cans and boxes are somewhat higher in price than bulk supplies this is to be expected a wellmade tin can of good quality costs a number of cents the material labor the er containers with a small family this may not be desirable most such foods are thoroughly cooked anyway and so if bought of reliable sources can be depended upon to be safe for use it is a good idea to get small quantities or samples of the brands you propose substituting and to test them alongside of the original kinds to determine excellence economy in use and so on one woman who had a family of six or seven kept track for three months of the saving she was able to effect by thoughtful buy ing and this amounted to a good many dollars the third saving also seems like a little one but it counts purchase soap supplies for months in advance as much as you feel you can afford

cereals do not agree with them they must have wheat you may be sure you are right if you brand such people as food cranks or slackers oats corn and rice are as whole some in every way as wheat and the complaint they dont agree with me i must have wheat is usually a camouflage of our own selfishness what we really mean to say is i like wheat better it makes lighter bread than the other cereals and it keeps moist and sweet longer now no one will deny that all these are attributes of wheat bread it is because of them in fact that we want to send our wheat abroad so that our soldiers and the allies may have the bread they need surely we who are left behind the battlefield should be glad to do anything weean to relieve the burdens of those suffering hard ships we cannot imagine if we grant that saving food is b i military measure we should consider ourselves under military orders and there should be no halfway means it should be our first duty to carry out as orders the suggestions of the food administration thero should be no slacking and as good soldiers we should strive not only to do our duty but more than our duty be your own commanding officer and keep yourself up to the mark

for barbed wire new projectile is designed to tear down wire entanglements barbed wire entanglements form ono of the most effective measures in temporarily checking the assaults of infantry both the german and al lied armies use them extensively in front of their trench systems as a rule special units are sent out to cut through these barriers but when a largo scale offensive is to be launched tho artillery preparation usually demolishes posts and wires for the attacking infantry to facilitate this work american ordnance experts have tested several new shells designed to tear down hos tile barbed wire with better results than the orthodox artillery projectile these new missiles are described in a recent issue of jo sais tous paris the shell casing has four longi tudinal sections enclosing arms or hooks working on a pivot these are covered with a comparatively light metallic casing which breaks when the shell is fired as tho shell flies through tho air the hooks are forced outward at right angles to tho pro jectile so that when it encounters an obstacle it has greater tearing power the other model is somewhat simi lar in design except at tho ends of the flying arms or hooks chains aro attached which add a greater area to the destruction which it may accom plish the best work is done at short range as the friction of the chains in the air tends to decrease tho speed of the shell these shells can be used only in a gun of special design in addition to using them- for destroying barbed wire it is planned to employ them finds brother among dead u s soldier acting as pallbearer makes sad discovery one of the most pathetic instances of the war so far as the united states is concerned occurred in a little ceme tery to the rear of the picavdy front recently when an american soldier acting as a pallbearer at the funeral of several americans discovered his own brother joseph ash among tho deadx the brothers members of dif ferent companies had met only the day before at the front joseph re mained there and was mortally wounded dying soon afterward his brother was ordered to the rear lines with a party of woodchoppers the woodchoppers were working near the cemetery at the time ofthe funeral and the chaplain asked them to be pallbearers in the midst of the service the chaplain read the name of joseph ash tho brother who stood with bared head in the small group of soldier mourners reel ed forward his eyes filled with tears and exclaimed my brother oh my brother the chaplain not understanding stepped up and placed his arm around tno young mans shoulder saying we are all brothers my boy the soldier looked at the coffin and shook his head the germans will pay for your blood joe he said and then it was that the chaplain and tho others around him
