--?yw5? "Mary," he said, in a firm voice, "it was abominable. But now that the mistake has been made, won't you won't you ?" And a moment later he was clasp ing the strong, capable Miss Mary Burton in his arms. And.he found that he did not feel anything like his age. It was not until the end of Miss Smith's lunch hour was at hand that he remembered to tear the letter which he had left on her desk to pieces. "A business letter?" inquiring Miss Burton, wondering why he was de stroying it so carefully. "No, my dear," answered Mr. Rog ers. "I'm just covering up my tracks, that's all.

Slaton little more water. When the dough is thoroughly mixed either beat it in the old-fashioned way or run it through a rolling machine, which is still better. The secret of success lies in fold ing and rolling the dough thoroughly. It should be rolled until it pops when folded. Then, when the biscuits are cut out, each one should be pricked with a fork on top to keep it from blistering. o o BY AND ABOUT WOMEN The Colorado woman's eight-hour law is sweeping in its application, and includes bookkeepers, stenographers and cashiers who are employed in mercantile, merchandise and manu facturing establishments, according to a ruling of Judge C.
