"How Is everything at the bank, Linn?" she asked him, knitting away at another gay sweater for her pretty niece, Jean. "Fine I am in Him for promotion wionMr. Day is leaving the first of the month."

Jammed on his hat and rushed out of the gate As he tramped down the road his doggedly planted feet seemed to pound out unanswerable questions, "If Jean Is really happy, why does she write so wistfully of the garden nnd the home folks In Elmdale? If she Is a genius, why Is she, not ah aorhed In her painting? If Razzantl, the painting master, really told her she would succeed, why had she cried? If she didn't enre for the work why nof come home nnd marry hlm'f" Cer tainly those were tear blisters on the thick, creamy pages of her letter! "The next holiday I'll go down and llud out," he muttered at last. What feally happened was this: The temperamental Razzantl had slven Jean her sUth lesson. Ills Kreedy eye had noted the lean leather wallet as it went back Into her hand bag after she had pal ! him. She tried to arrange terms with him- perhaps he would wait for payment of the next lesson until she had sold a small still-life study of flowers and a basket of vet.'etahles. "Sell? You-a sell that!

As she went down the stairs to the hot street, Itaw.tmtl put his head out of his door nnd hissed one word after her. "Saprlsti!"

Miss Itood hon estly, I wish 1 knew how to help you. 1'ou wouldn't want to wait on the tables, now?" "Yes, I would, and thank you," cried delighted Jean. In a few days the girl discovered hat Jean could make fluffy muffins and cttp. calces' that would melt In a hungry customer's mouth, and so Jean was promoted and the putronage of the tea shop Increased wonderful!". Soon she had charge of the cookliin and gradually her pile of savings In creased. One day, behind the dainty blue screeD, where Jean was concocting a delicious salad, she heard the sound of vaguely familiar voices. Through a peephole she saw two of Elmdale's prominent matrons, seated at the table next to bpr screen. Those voices made her homesick. "Yes, Jennie," Mrs. Grey was say ing as she buttered one of .Teun's niutllns, "Mr. Day has left the bank and all the clerks have been pro motedIt's a fine thing for Linn Mow bray he's, been rather Interested in my Dorothy, and holding thai posi tion In the bank makes It quite all right now." "1 1 thought Linn was encaged, to Constance Hood's niece .lean Loud. I haven't seen her for months.'' "Somewhere In the city here studying art; they say she has consid erable talent. I suppose she wants to devote her life to art these modern girls " Mrs. Grey sighed and took another mufllii. "A culinary artist made these muffins," she added. "Yes," agreed her friend. "And be sure and let me know if Dorothy Awi liecome engaged I shall want to send her something very special for her trousseau." Jean, very white and grave, finished her work for the day. Then she ob tained a few days' leave of absence and went to Elmdale. She arrived at twilight and walked down the street, drinking In the beauty of the familiar scenes, hearing the evening song of the thrush and the orchard oriole. She passed the Grey home and heard young voices In the screened veranda, and wondered tf Linn had transferred his allegiance to Doro thy, the girl who stayed at home. Miss Constance was sitting In her little porch when Jean opened the gnte. She arose with a' glad cry and went down the path to meet the home sick girl. Some one else arose from the shadows and took her out of the older woman's arms. "Linn !" cried Jean. "I have come to stny." i "Great our little house la almost finished. Can yon cook, dear?" . rHave you forgotten so soon?" she quavered. "Tell him, Aunt Connie, that I can co-ok everything except -spaghetti I" MANY VISIT SULPHUR SPRINGS N..

In southern Oklahoma, not far from the Texas boundary, a group of 30 healing springs, these of cold, sparkling water, were set apurt by congress In 1904 under the title of the I'lutt Na tional park. Most of them are sul phur springs; others are Impregnated with bromides and other mineral salts, the Detroit News states. Many thousands yearly visit the bor dering city of Sulphur to drink these waters; many camp In or near the res ervation; the bottled waters bIng re lief to thousands at heme. All these Piatt springs, like those at Hot Springs, Ark., were known to the Indians for their curative properties for many generations before the com ing of the white settler. J According to a Chickasaw legend, two warriors competeJ for the hand of Peerfoot, a chieftain's daughter. Hoth were killed by Jumping off a cliff. Then Deerfoot also Jumped nnd killed her self. The chief on the hilltop cried no many briny tears that, according to Indian tradition, they filtered down through the cliff and mingled with the spring water, to which they Im parted remedial qualities.' None of Apple Watted. The thoroughness with which the ap ple Is now worked over and utilized by tome manufacturers makes It com parable with the pncklng-house pig that leaves only a futile equenl. The apple Is not transformed Into such a variety of products as the pig. but all are useful, and when the last of the series has been roado hardly a smell U left. In many of the apple-using factories the apples are first pressed to pro duce cider, which may be sold an such or may be manufactured Into vinegar. After thorough prenslng the pomace Is treated with hot water to remove the pectin, which, after purification, Is sold In either llipild form to manufacturers of Jellies and similar products and tp housewives. The much-wasted -and squeezed residue Is dried, ground, and sold a cattle feed. (u a m sa a a Li W" E air- For Infant Children. SI ' ' A " " V .
