I Hnd ho known thnt, despite hU ef forts nt concealment, tlio girl had read In his c) his lovo for her, he might linvo found In tlio fnct a trifle of con (lolntlon.

Hlio worried also concerning her fattier. John llruoo was losing furs for the company. For several seasons the Miluo of tlio pelts had been decreasing. Yet the Independent traders wcro do ing better than eer. Someone had been wnj luylng the Indians on their return from their winter's trupplng und bribing them to turn over the most valuabla skins. For Ids thievery and It was llttlo else her father would be held responsible. Camo u mild day when Jeannle Inced up her walking boot und took her troubles Into tho open ulr. After n lengthy trump she decided, llko o truo daughter of tho wilderness, on n short cut home, and thereby made her dis covery. While forcing her way through on almost Impenetrable growth of under brush bordering a muskeg swamp sho stumbled over a plunk. Surprised, she stopped to Investigate, and found that ' the plank was part of a flooring which I concealed a dugout of some sort. , ijurlously sho pried nt n board until It ioo.cusd, and kneeling sho gazed Into tho irloomy depths within. A cacho of furs I Kvldently cured and hastily hidden nwny. Watt I Some thing glinted In tho corner. Sho thrust In her hand nnd brought out n partly tarnished watch fob, evidently dropped as the wearer stooped over his burled loot. Now who had she seen wearing that foh? It was late when Jeannlo returned home. Tired and perplexed, she did not notlco tho subtlo air of excitement which hovered about tho "post" but went straight to the office of tho chief to make known her discovery. Unawnrcs, sho opened the door, then gnvo a llttlo cry. There stood Mae Firth and, quite unlike his former Jnunty self, Jim ilrandon. Jenn leaned weakly ngnlnst the door ns all eyes focused upon her. Then, straightened suddenlj, she held out her hand with Hie full "See what I have kept of jours!" she cried ambiguously, ber eye dart ing from one man to tho other. MscFlrth's eyes held only n desper ate yearning. Hut. "Mine!" said Ilran don, with an attempt to recapture his; former debonair manner. Then he cringed suddenly, for Jenn turned upon him. her eye hlsxlng."

Maellrlh," he said briefly. In the darktices Alan overtook Jean nle. With the air of one who will no longer he denied he drew her master fully to hltn. "If you don't love Ilrnndon," he said tenderly, "perhaps" "I dn1iio ou!" cried Jeannlo. WIT AND HUMOR IN BIBLE "flood Oook." Replete With Lively Sallies That May Ds Classed as of First Quality. A writer on this somewhat unusual topic s)s: "There Is wit nnd humor of tho first quality In the lllbte," nnd to prove It ho continues: "Job In his thirtieth chapter Is tell ing how he scorned the low-lhcd fel lows who pretended to look down on him In Ids adversity.

In this day when the tendency of nrchltccts Is to design homes with few rooms nnd to plan those rooms so thnt they do the maximum of duty, the man with a large family does not hac wi large n range of home build ing plans to select from. Until some ten yenr ngo few homes containing less than seven rooms were designed or built; now the opposite Is the case. However, sociologists to tho con trary notwithstanding, there nro many largo families, and these large fam ilies want homes planned so thnt thero arc enough bedrooms to go around. At tho same Hmo they want homes that nrc iip-to-dato In appear nnco and In Interior arrangement.

H Home conning of utmost Impor tance during the war will be Just as Important this )enr, according to pres ent Indications ns they are viewed by the United States dMirliiHnt of agri culture. The shortage of labor on the farms makes It necessary for the can neries to Miy high prices fur the com modities thnt will be canned later In the season. I.nbor In the canning fac tories Is cxpcnslva nnd dirttciilt In ob tain. Itver) thing, .from cans to cart age costs, has Increased In price, nnd transportation U slow nnd more ex pensive tlatn It wns In war times. AH Oils Increase mnst be paid by the ul timata consumer; and there Is not even assurance Hint there will bo enough canned products In go nrmind. The solution ts home canning. Can Without Sugar. , That sugar Is higher In price than It has been hitherto Is advanced by some as n reason for canning either less fruit or nothing but vegetables; but unless one Intends to give up sweets altogether there seems no good reason for not using canned fruit on SIRUPS SAVE SUGAR I I IN MAKING JELLIES Directions Given by Department of Agriculture Experts. When Fruit Is Cheap and Sugar Ex pensive Jellies May Os Made to Advantage With One.Half Usual Amount of Sweetening, To obtain the largest jiosslblo amount of Jelly from fruit with the use of the smallest Kslhlc amount of sugar, follow the directions given below- by United States detriment of agriculture specialists: If u good Jolly-making fruit, such ns quince, green graH, tart and ptirtl) ripe apples, Siberian crnhs, or cran berries, Is being used, make n second extraction from the fruit. 'Unit Is, take the pulp from the Jelly Img, add ihio cupful of w titer to each ikhuicI of pulp, cook '-ft minute), ami drip u second time, using somo premium at Iho lnt. rsecouu extraction jeniwi are iikoiy to ne homewliut different In flavor from the Hot. and It Is an excellent plan to com bine the two Jellies Iwfore sweetening. When fruit Is cheap und sugar ex pensive, Jellies nut) be made to advan tage with one-half as much swieleiilug ns ii-flisl, that Is, with one-hslf cupful of sugar to one cupful of Juice The )leld of Jcflly will be less, for one cup ful of a good Juice plus one cupful of sugar should make between one and one and one-half ciipfuls of Jolly, whereas one-half cupful of sugar plus one cupful of Juice makes between one half cupful nud three-fourths cupful of Jelly. One half of the sweetening may be glucose sirup, light-colored corn sirup, honey or sorghum sirup. If tho other half Is granulated sugar, there will bo little noticeable difference In sweetness In most enses Grape with glucose or torn sirup will make n good Jcdl) even when no sugar Is used. BIG ESSENTIALS IN CANNING Among Other Things Neceesary Are Fresh Products, Pure Water and Cleanliness. Ihe eesentluls In canning fruit and vegetables uro these: Fresh products, pure water, care, cleaullnets, good Jars, "live," stand ard rubber rings nnd sufllclcnt heat to process tho products thoroughly lu the closed container.
