The leader flung some stuff into the brazier and a great fan of blue lieht flared up. He was weaving circles, and he was singing something shrill and high, whilst his companions made a chorus with their deep monotone. can't tell you what the dance was. I had seen the Russian ballet just be- fore the war, and one of the men in it reminded me of this man. But the dancing was the least part of it It was neither sound nor movement nor scent that wrought the spell, but some- thing far more potent. In an instant I found myself reft away from the present with its dull dangers, and looking at a world all young and fresh and beautiful. The gaudy drop-scene hail vanished. It was a window I was looking from, and I was gazing at the finest landscape on earth, lit by the pure clean light of morning. f T It seemed to he part of the veld, but like no veld I had ever seen. It was wider and wilder and more gracious. Indeed, I was looking at my first youth. I was feeling the kind of im- mortal light-heartedncss which only a boy knows in the dawning of his days. I had no longer any fear of these magic-makers. They were kindly wiz- ards, who had brought me into fairy- land. we stopped. Some one opened the door and we got out, to find ourselves in a courtyard with a huge dark build- ing around. The prison, I guessed, and I wondered if they would give us blankets, for it was perishing cold. We entered a door, and found our- selves in a big stone hall. It was quite warm, which made me more hopeful about our cells. A man in some kind of uniform pointed to the staircase, up which we plodded wear- ily. My mind was too blank to take clear impressions, or in any way to forecast the future. Another warder met us and took us down a passage till we halted at a door. He stood aside and motioned us to enter. | I guessed that this was the gov- ernor's room, and we should be put through our first examination. My head was too stupid to think, and I made up my mind to keep perfectly mum. Yes. even if they tried thumb- screws. I had no kind of a story, but I resolved not to give anything away. As I turned the handle I wondered Idly what kind of sallow Turk or bulg-i i ing-necked German we should find . inside. It was a pleasant room, with a pel-. j ished wood floor and a big fire burn- [ ing on the hearth. Beside the fire a I man lay on a couch, with a little table I drawn up beside him. On thut table jwas a small glass of milk and a num- j ber of Patience cards spread in rows. I stared blankly at the spectacle, till I saw a second figure. It was the man i in the skin-cap, the leader of the ' dancing maniacs. Roth Peter and I backed sharply at the sight and then i stood stock still. j For the dancer crossed the room in two strides and gripped both of my hands. "Dick, old man," he cried, "I'm most awfully glad to see you again!" Woman's Sphere Then slowly from the silence there distilled drops of music.

This one is dif- ferent: Tomatoes stuffed with corn Grate the corn from six ears and add to it half a green pepper chopped fine, also half a small onion, likewise chopped; melt a tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan and turn these vegetables into it and toss them about until the corn begins to brown slightly. Mean- time scald, peel and scoop the centres from six medium sized tomatoes; fill with the corn mixture-, scatter bread crumbs and bits of butter over the top and bake in a hot oven until the to- matoes are done. Corn Oysters This is a good sup- per dish for cool evenings or when something tasty and substantial is de- sired. It may be made from corn that is a little too old for boiling, and will be very nice. Grate the corn, a~"l to a pint of pulp add two well-beaten eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, half a teaspoonful of salt, and enough flour to make a rather stiff batter, sifting one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder with the flour. A little milk may be added If desired. Drop from the end of a spoon into boiling fat and fry to a rich, nut brown. Drain well and serve hot. These frit- ters are truly delicious served with maple syrup, or plain sugar syrup, though usually regarded as a meat substitute. Corn and Cheexe Souffle Here is another corn dish which may very acceptably take the place of meat A large cupful of grated green corn is required for its making, also half a green pepper chopped fine and a cup- ful of grated cheese. Cook the pepper for five minutes In a generous table- spoonful of butter, then remove it and add two tablespoonfuls of flour to the butter and cook these to the bubbling point Now pour in a cupful of rich milk and cook till smooth, stir in the corn, cheese and fried pepper and add a mere grating of onion. Cook for a few moments, then whip in two well- beaten egg yolks and season to suit the taste. Finally fold In the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff dry froth, pour into a buttered baking dish and cook in a moderate oven for half an hour, or until the souffle is firm in the centre. Serve immediately, for a dish of this sort will not bear waiting. A SIMPLE FROCK FOR A YOUNG MISS. 4117.

Some thing that will please the children without much expenditure of either time or money is what many mothers are considering for that ap- proaching birthday or any other party, an occasion of thrilling importance to the youngsters. Buy a quantity of lollypops and some gayly colored crepe paper, or use the odds and ends of suc-h paper you may already have in the house. Cut circles of white or pink tinted paper the size of the candy and fasten it over the waxed paper in which each lollypop is wrapped with two or three touches of glue. Next mark on these circles all sorts of funny faces. From the gay paper fashion bonnets and dresses held in place by bits of nar- row ribbon and touches of glue. Thrust the end of the stick through an empty spool and you have a charm- ing doll that can stand alone. En- dearing colored babies may be made by using black paper for the faces. These lollypop dollies may be used as place cards or to decorate indi- vidual servings of ice cream. They may be marching in file round the table or as cake decorations. And in the end they posses the useful quality of being edible. a pack of adventurers. But, by Jove, ' : Then suddenly the spell was broken, j pick, we hadn't any time to spare.
