AmeB is going to foreclose,the mort (age on that fire acre field." Mary Halloran, comely In spite of her four and forty years, looked up from her darning. When three sturdy children are putting on weight and muscle every day of. their lives. mother is apt to be fairly busy. "It isn't that I care so much about the old field said Tom. "We're do t-tag we|^ enough, and the fact is, that mortgage was a nuisance. Now with out It we .can have more money to put Into the dairy. But It wasn't exactly neighborly of Mr. Ames, see /tag how long he's known you—" The acquaintance dated back, twenty-five years and more, to the '. time when Mary Neweil was the adopted daughter of old Simon Newell, John Ames' half-brother, but nearly forty years his Benlor. Simon Newell was the squire of the tpwn, and it ':/was understood that all his posses slons were to go to Mary. He wanted to see her-married to John Ames, who, at the age of twenty, was al ready, gifted with that shrewd, cal culating nature miscalled hardheaded ness in country places. it... John's wooing had been conducted nith consummate skill. Mary was completejy deceived by his protesta tions, so much so that when John •.. asked her to marry him she thought •'ft herself the happiest girl alive. One .-. month before the date set for the .^ wedding the old squire had a stroke.

Reluctantly, Mary's •friends came to the conclusion that, if like many men, Newell had postponed '.•making his will until it waa too late. And so the' property passed by in heritance Into the hands of John A Ames was very considerate. He gave Mary the old-fashioned furniture, Stared at It In Terror. fee let her take her time about moving aft6r breaking off the engagement.' For that was what he did/within a month after Newell's death. Why should he marry a penniless girl when jthe rich Miss Sarah Smith looked with favor upon him, and would comfort ably swell the Ames fortunes? Five years later Mary married Tom Halloran, a man. a little below her sta tion in life. They were very happy. After some years the first of their three children was tiorn. Ames and Mary never spoke, ex cept when it was unavoidable. Con scious that he' had acted wretchedly, Ames schemed to drive Halloran out of the village. Honest Tom Halloran knew that he and'Mary had been engaged, but not the cold-blooded way in which Ames had jilted the woman who was now his wife. Mary: had, sent back the furniture, "all except the old cabinet which Mr. Newell had had made for her. "Take care of that my dear," he had said. "It's made of tropical wood, and some day it will be worth its weight in gold to you." When Tom had gone into the klich en,to smoke his pipe Mary sat darn ing busily, and her thoughts wandered back over all these years that had passed. How happy.she and Tom had been! And how, thankful she was that she had discovered Ames' nature before she married him! She did not care about the field, but Ames' persecution of Tom had aroused her fighting spirit If she could repay Ames to'kind! Suddenly she perceived a tiny edge of white against the flat top of the cabinet It looked like a paper paring. She rose to brush it asidq, and to her amazement discovered that it was part of a sheet, apparently wedged into the wood In some strange fashlbn. A' moment's examination showed her that there was a secret drawer in "the cabinet. And the paper—as she pulled: it through the orifice In the wood she could see that there was writing on it She himbled about un til she found the spring of the drawer, •which she pulled open. Inside lay a document—the last will of Simon Newell. Mary Halloran stared at it In terror. This message from the dead—she did not' w&nt to read, those letters that danced before her eyes. She was still standing with the will in her hand when Tom came in. ""What is it, dear?" he asked, see ing her distress. Mary Halloran put the paper be hind her. "Tom," she said, "you know Mr. Newell meant to leave all his. prop erty to me, and how John .Ames got It The will was never found. But Contentment and Health. After all, the question of livable ness In any environment is, as a rule, one of the temperament and adaptabil ity of the individual. This is the opin ion of the Journal of the American Medical association. Americans have braved the dreaded tropics wit# comparative' comfort and Temained in perfect health. Manila and Panama have lOBt the terrors of climate, while the tax North has become the field of pleasure seekers. The healthfulness •f an environment urban or suburban. I have found it It was in the secret drawer in that cabinet" Tom stared at her, and slowly un derstanding came into his mind. "Tken it's all ours!" he exclaimed. "The five acre field and—all of it!" "No, Tom!" said Mary. "Eh, my dear?" said Tom, slowly. "I don't want to claim It.I don't want Mr. Ames to know. Tom, he paid a price for. the property, the price of honor- and self-respect Many a night he must have lain awake, meditating over his bargain. The property is the only recompense he had. And I want him to keep it, Tom." "You don't—want the property, Mary?" "No, Tom. That Is why I am going to throw the will into the fire un read." ., "But, Mary! It's yours—our*. Think of the boys. We must be Jua* to them. The scoundrel has had it all these years. My dear, you must—" "I won't, Tom, I won't," she cried. "You don't understand." She flung the .paper into the open afire: Any fruit that grows exclusively In a sunny climate Is preferable to a northern grown fruit, as the SQiith Is closer to the sun, and the blossoms, then the fruit, are kissed with more strength and-warmth by this sun.. Olives are in tremendous favor, as there is nothing more ardently kissed. Olive oil is used for all cooking in stead of butter and lard, thereby im parting to meat as}well as other foods the necessary sun qualities.' It is easy to be a sun food faddist, but it is said., to be well worth while. On Tuning a Piano. •Many people think it is an easy matter to tune a piano, but this is not the case. As celebrated a musi cian as Hans von Bulow got into trouble in New York owing to this fallacious idea. He would not permit the instrument to! be tuned in tho wareroom, one of his whims being that even a. ehort removal of a piano knocks it out of tune. There is, of course, a modicum of truth In the theory. So it was tuned upon the platform where he was to perform. He stood over the tuner all the time, at intervals emitting groans and strong German language. When the task was almost completed he gave a shout atfd, seizing the wrench, began doing it all over again. In three min utes he had the piano so hopelessly out of gear that it took three hours to get it right again. Herr von Bu low had to pay dearly for this exhibi tion of Ignorance. Only One Viewpoint It scorched against the coals and flut tered, unburned, beneath the grate. But Mary had run out of the room, her eyes blinded with tears of shame. She was thinking that .she had been more than recompensed in Tom. But 'for the will's loss she would never have known the treachery in John Ames' heart. Tom' Halloran stooped down and picked the will out of the grate and began to read. The verbiage was difficult, but there was one sentence that -stood, out unmistakably: "To my half-brother John Ames, all that I possess, both real and pep Eonal estate, in the conviction that he will make a good husband for my adopted daughter, Mary." Slowly Tom watched the paper burn in the flre. And, though the full meaning of Mary's wish did not come home to him, something told him that he must never let her know Ames was still the rightful owner of the Newell1 estate.

Some people say that to be happy one should eat only sun kissed foods. By sun kissed, they mean all fruits and vegtables that grow above ground The more these things are dependent upon the rays df the sun for perfection the better effect they will have upon the individual who consumes them, the Detroit Free Press states. Every man and woman in daily life is ^ire to need the brightness of the sun in the stomach as well as the heart and home, declare the advocates of the sun riissed fare, and there is no better way of getting it than through nourishing food. In the sun-kissed diet there is very little meat, though poultry Is used frequently and eggs are favored poultry because it is at its. best when the fowls have been reared in the sun shine and open air. Beef and lamb are considered more or less depress ing. Potatoes are carefully shunned, de spite their great food value. The^ are grown in the dark earth and never see the sun. They are apt to make one dull. Instead of potatoes, rice is used freely, boiled in croquettes or in pud dings. Rice 1b full of nourishment-— witness the Japanese nation. Its great merit is attributed to the fact that it is grown in a sunny climate and de pends entirely'upon the kisse^ of the sun. The farther from the ground a veg» table grows the greater the good ob tained from eating 'It. Fruits are used at all meals, as much as one can get, particularly oranges, for all through they are of the brilliance of a noonday sun. r' The late Jacob Riis said in one of his luminous lectures in Pittsburgh: "Away with the men who preach the 'All's well with the world' idea!

"Why, I've even heard them.stand ing up for poverty—poverty, with its overwork, its bad health and its ugli ness." Mr. Riis struck the table grimly..

Fair Chance of Recovering Valuable Cargo on Sunken Ship—Services of Expert Diver* Are Easy to Obtain, Says Director. London.—Salvage experts here agree that there Is a fair chance of recovering the million dollars' worth of silver said to be aboard the sunken. Empress of Ireland. R. H., Davis, managing director of the salvage company, called attention to the fol lowlng successful operations of this sort: Four thousand one hundred and twenty-six hars ct silver of the value of 12,681,900, 46 boxdb of gold of the value of $1,000,000 and nine boxes of silver of the value of $5,850, a total value of $3,687,750—recovered from the Oceana, which was wrecked in about thirteen fathoms of water off Eastbourne. Four hundred and fifty thousand gold coin—25 peseta pieces-—recov ered from the wreck of the Alphonso XII, which was sunk in 27 fathoms of water—a greater depth than that at which the Empress of Ireland is lying—off. Point Oando, Grand Canary. Fifty thousand dollars' worth ot silver bars—all but six that were on board—recovered from the Skyro, wrecked in 32 fathoms of water off Cape Flnlsterre. "In tho case of the Alphonso XII the difficulties were very great" Mr. Davis said, "and our diver. Alexan der Lambert, had to use dynamite to remove innumerable obstructions be1 fore he could get to the magazine In which the treasure was stored. "Dynamite had also to be used In the operations for salving the sliver bars of the Skyro and whqn the work was finished the vessel was Just a heap ot scrap Iron.

"At this depth," Mr. Davis said, "a man cannot remain safely for a longer time than thirty or forty minutes. He would have to allow himsel: moreover, about half an hour to gei on the surface. The ascent from the depth Is a painfully slow business. "When a man works at these sub marine depths he is subject to an ab normal pressure which is Increased 4% pounds for every ten feet he goes down. At work beneath fathoms of water his blood and tissues become saturated with nitrogen. "For this reason he has to be most careful in ascending to the surface, for otherwise a sort of effervescence would be set up in the blood vessels and cause paralysis. "There is no difficulty In getting divers fpr salvage operations. Most of our men are ex-British navy, divers, who are without doubt the most scientifically trained in the world. "For his work in salving the pesetas from the wreck of the Alphonso XII, Alexander Lambert received five per cent of the treasure recovered—$17, 500—in addition to his pay of $250 a month."

Capital Authorities Seek to Re move Automobile Danger. New Lens Offers Solution—From Los Angeles Comes Word That Objec tion May Be Removed by Frosted Belt on Glass. Washington.—War has been de clared by the district authorities' on the blinding headlights of automobiles within the city limits. The commis sioners have instructed Major Sylves ter, superintendent of police, to con fer with the corporation counsel, and formulate some {regulation of the pres ent evil/ The present traffic regula tions-do not contain any provision for the restriction of the use of such head light which would hold in a court of law. Much of the present danger arises out of the carelessness of. motorists and pedestrians themselves. Motorists spinning over the roads in the adja cent parks and thoroughfares leading into the city limits needlessly leave their headlights burn in the adequate ly lighted sections. Pedestrians thoughtlessly walk in the middle- of the road instead of keeping to the rig:ht and to the side of the road. Much of the present danger can be eliminated by a little care and thought, but the problem of the nonglare head light is twofold. First, the. dazzling rays must be eliminated or the uee of such lights restricted in some way, and second, the original illuminating qualities of the headlight miist be ^on served. Adequate light on the public high ways is needed today more than ever before. The heavy black oiled roads make it much more difficult to distin guish pedestrians on the highways than it was in the early day6 of the automobile, before the roads were oiled. Still another factor in the problem is the quietness of the present-day motor. It is now possible to creep up within a few feet of anothef car or pedestrian on the road without them being aware of the approach of a car.

Try as he would Elza could not tempt the fish to' take a chance on-a •worm. Finally he knelt and attempted to seize the fish. The, fish liked the looks of Elza's arm and swallowed It up to the elbow. Elza closed his fist so that he had the fish hooked. Then he tumbled Into the water and the fish started down stream, dragging Elza along. For a quarter of a mile the fish and Elza churned the water. A drift log helped Elza to stop the progress of the fish. His cries for help brought Joe Duffy to his assistance. Joe threw a plow line to Elza and he was towed to shore, bringing the flsh with him. The catfish was three feet nine, inches in length, and weighed 65 pounds. WOMEN GET $1.75 PER WEEK Mrs. Julia Scurr Tells Prime Minister Asqulth of Weekly Wage of Women. London.—The recent meeting be tween Prime Minister Asqulth and the women representing'... Sylvia Pank hurst's East End Suffrage club was unique In English history, for never before had women workers of -the lowest social class told their wage grievances to so high a personage. The average wage of women through out the country, Mrs. Julia Scurr told the prime minister, is only seven shillings ($l.t5) a week. Many wo men, she said, support children and parents on this, although the Immi gration board has held that a woman cannot live In London on less than Prims Minister Herbert Asqulth. 17 shillings and six pence ($4.37) a week. To small wages and the se verity of the struggle was attributed the large- number of suicides among married working women of the city. Mrs. Scurr said the poor law attaches harsh and humiliating terms to the relief given and is thoroughly hated by the indigent throughout the country, and the local officials are keeping in close touch with every development. Until some device is Invented relief will have to come through regulation. From Los Angeles, Cal., comes the word of a simple solution of the prob lem.

The beam of light coming through the clear oval is centralized on the road directly and far-ahead Instead of as with the old style fiat glass over a widening arc. The road is made brighter by the contrast and the dif fused light coming through the frosted surface enables the driver, to clearly see the front of his own car, even in the. face of an approaching blinding searchlight MAN'S HEART ASTRAY, HE DIES James McLaughlin Lives Fifty-eight Years With Vital Organ on Wrong Side. poughbeepsie, N.

But the ways of cooking the arti choke are legion. Some of these are genuine "creations" of celebrated chefs and are too elaborate for the practical housewife. Others are sim ple enough to be within the reach of any home cook, and the dishes that can be made from artichokes are so varied and delicious that we are glad to give some of the simpler of these recipes. Try them and see if you have not gained a delightful addition to your bill of fare. Artichokes Holiandalse.—Boil arti chokes in salted water. Drain serve on plotter garnished with parsley .and lemon.
