CONTINUED A full minute passed before I grasp ed the lueauiuj; of tlr«t soft answer, iiud then it was too late. He had gone! about bis business without waiting to Kee whether my wrath had been turned j j away. 1 had been joy riding! The excitement in Britton's usually j ! imperturbable countenance us he came! | running up to me from the telephone! j closet prepared me in a way for the! i startling news that was to come. "Has anything serious happened?"' I; cried, my heart sinkiug a little lower, j "I had Mr. Poopendyke himself on; I the wire. sir. What do you think, sir?" ; A premonitiou: "She —she lias ar-1 rived?" I demanded dully. He nodded "She 'as, sir. Mrs.—' your mother, sir. is in your midst." : The proximity of the inquisitive man-i ager explains this extraordinary re-! j mark on the part of my valet. Wei both glared at the manager, and he bad the delicacy to move away. "She arrived by a special train at 12 lawst night, sir." 1 was speechless. The brilliant sun shine seemed to be turjiiug into som ber night before my eyes Everything was going black. "She's asleep, he says, and doesn't; want to lie disturbed till noon, so he says he can't say anything more just now over the telephone because he's afraid of waking 'er." (Britton drops them when excited.) ' "He doesn't have to shout so loud that lie can lie heard on the top floor," said 1, still a trifle dazed "She "appens to be sleeping in your] bed, sir. he says." "In my bed? Good heavens. Britton. what's to become of me?" "Don't take It so 'ard. sir," he made haste to say. "Blntchford 'as fixed a place lor you on the couch in your study, sir. It's all very snug, sir." "But. Britton." I said in horror, "sup pose that I should have come home last night. Don't you see?" "1 daresay she 'nd the door locked. I sir." he said. "By special train." I mumbled. A 1 light broke in upon my reviving Intel lect "Why. it was the train that went j through at a mile a minute while we were in the coffee house. No wonder; we didn't meet her!" "1 shudder to think of wot would j 'ave "appeued if we had. sir." said he, j meaning no doubt to placate me. "Mr. Poopendyke says the countess as been up all nislir worrying about you, sir. She has been distracted. She wanted "1 ui lo go out and search for you at 4 o'clock this morning, but lie says lie assured 'er you'd turn up all right. He says Mrs—the elderly lady, begging your pardon, sir—thought she was do ing for the best when she took a spc \ eial. She wanted to save us all the trouble she could. He says she was 1 very much distressed by our failure to 'ave some one meet her with a launch when she got here last night,! sir. As it was. she didn't reach the; castle until nearly 1. and she looked j "She 'sppens to be sleeping in your bed, sir, he says." like a drowned rat when she got there, being hex—exposed to u beastly rain storm. See wot 1 mean ? She went to bed In a dreadful state, he says, but he thinks she'll be more pleasant be fore the day is over.' - I burst into a lit of laughter. "Hur- ; ray!" 1 shouted exultantly. "Well, by i Jove. 1 don't feel half as bad as 1 j did Ave minutes ago. Come, let us be off." We started briskly down the street My spirits were beginning to rebound. Poopendyke had said that she worried all night about me. She bad been dis tracted! Poor little woman! Still I was glad to know that she had the grace to sit uu aud worry jnsteud of | golnp: to sleep as she misrht hare done. I was just meau enough to be happy over it. Poopendyke met 11s on the town side •if the river. He seemed » trifle bag sard. I thought. He wan not slow, on the other hand, to announce In hor ror struck tones that I looked like a ghost. "VOII must get those wet clothes off at once. .Mr. Smart, and go to bed with a hot water bottle and ten grfilus of quinine You'll be very 111 If yon don't. Put a lot more elbow grense Into those oars. Max. (Jet a move on yon. Do, yon want Mr. Smart to die of piivn nionia?" CHAPTER XIX. I Meet Mri. Titus. WHILE we were crossing the muddy stream my secre tary, his teeth chattering with cold and excitement combined, related the story of tbt night. "We were just starting off for the bontbouse tip the river, according to plans. Max and Rudolph and 1 with the two boats, when the countess came dowo lu a mackintosh and a pair of gtitn boots and insisted upon going along with us. She said it wasn't fair to make you do all the work and all that sort of thing. While we were ar guing with ber—and it was getting so late that I feared we wouldn't he in time to meet you—we heard some one shouting on the opposite side of the river. The voice sounded something like Britton's, and the countess insist ed that there had been an accident and that you were hurt, Mr. Smart, and nothing would do but we must send Max and Itudolph over to see what the trouble was. It was raining cats and dogs, aud 1 realized that it would be impossible for you to get a boatman on that side at that hour of the night —it was nearly 1— so I sent the two Schmicks across. I've never seen a night as dark as it was. The two lit tle lanterns bobbing in the boat could hardly be seen through the torrents ol rain, and it was next to impossible t<i see the lights on the opposite landing stage—Just a dull, misty glow. "To make the story short, Mrs. Titus and her sons were over there, with absolutely no means of crossiug the river. It took two trips over to fetch the whole party across. liaining pitch forks all the time, you understand. Mrs. Titus was foaming at the mouth because yon don't own a yacht or at least a launch with a canopy top or a limousine body or something of the sort. "I didn't have much of a chance to converse with her. The countess tried to get her upstairs in the east wing, but she wouldn't climb another step. I forgot to mention that the windlass was out of order and she had to cliuib tiie biii in mud six Inches deep. The Schmicks carried her the last half of the distance. She insisted on sleeping in the hall or the study—anywhere but upstairs. I assumed the responsibility of putting her in your bed, sir. It wast either that or"— 1 b >ke in sarcastically, "You couldn't have put iter into your bed. I suppose." "Not very handily, Mr. Smart." he said in an injured voice. "One of her sons occupied my bed. Of course it was all right, because I didn't Intend to go to bed. as it happened. The old er son went upstairs with the countess. She gave up her bed to him. and then she and 1 sat up all night in the study waiting for a telephone message from you. The younger son explained a good many things to us that his mother absolutely refused to discuss. j she was so mad when she got here. It seems she took It Into ber head at the , last minute to charter a special train. ' but forgot to notify us of the switch In the plans. She traveled by the reg ular train from Paris to some place along the line, where she got ont and waited for the special which was fol lowing along behind, straight from Paris too. A woeful waste of money, It seemed to me. Her Idea was to throw a couple of plain clothes men off the track, and, by George, sir, she sue- j ceeded. They thought she was chang ing from a train to some place In ' Switzerland and went off to watch the ; other station. Then she sneaked aboard the special, which was charter- ! ed clear through to Vienna. See bow j clever she is? If they followed on the next train or telegraphed it would nat- j urally be to Vienna. She got off at this [ place, and—well, we have her with us, j sir. as snug as a bug In a rug.'' "What Is she like Fred?" I Inquired. I confess that I hung on his reply. "1 have never seen a wet hen. but I should say on a guess that she's n good bit like one. Perhaps when she's thor oughly dried out she may not be so bad, but"—he drew a long, deep breath—"but upon my word of honor she was tin/limit Inst night. Of course one couldn't expect her to be exactly gracious, with her hair plastered over her face and her hat spoiled and her clothes soaked, but there was really no excuse for some of the things she said to me. I shall overlook them for your sake and for the countess'." He was painfully red in the face. "The conditions. Fred." I said, ''were scarcely conducive to polite persiflage." "Hut. hang it all. I was as wet as she was," bo exuloded so violently that J knew his soul must hare been triad to the utmost. "We must try to ronke the hwt of It.'' 1 snld. "It will not l>»* for long." The of It somehow sent oiy taenri bHi:k to Its lowest level. He wns kluih mid sileut for a few mloutes Then he snld. HS If the thoiiKht bud been on his mind forsonu hours: "She Isn't 11 du.v over forty-Uve. It doesn'i xi;eui possible, with a six foot son twenty-six years old." Grimly I explained. "They marry quite young when It's for money, Fred." "I h«|ijm)so that's It." he sighed. "I fanc.v Hhe'tt luiiidsome. too. when she hasn't been ruined upon." We were luilfwny up the slope when be announced nervously tbnt all of iny dry clothing whs in the closet off my bedroom nnd eould not be *ot at under auy circumstnnce. "But." b« said. "T have laid out my best frock rout and trousers for you and a complete change of llneti Von are quite welcome to anything I pos sess. Mr. Smart. 1 think If yon take a couple of rolls at the bottom of the trousers they'll be presentable. The coat may be a little long for yon. hut"— My loud laughter cut him short.

BARS WOMEN FROM COUNCILS Resolution Permitting Them to Sit as Episcopal Lay Delegates Defeated Pittsburgh, Pa., May 14. —Equal rights in the councils of the Episcopal church were denied to women yester day, when the annual diocesan conven-! lion of the Pittsburgh Diocese voted I 48 to 18 to lay on the table indefinite ly a resolution recommending that wom en be permitted to sit as lay delegates in the councils of the church, on equal terms with men. The resolution was offered bv the Rev. R. H. Ward, rector of St. Peter's church, who spoke of the great work the women were doing and said their advice and influence sho'uld be of great service in the gatherings of the church. Many of the other delegates to the convention also spoke of the advisabil ity of admitting women to full religious rights with men.

Grauel The Oven Thermometer There is no question but that the oven thermometer is a very great help in cake, bread anil pastry baking and it does not require vast experience to use one of these assistants. There are many who have asked how these are attached to ovens, length of time required for process and if they are practical for all stoves. The reply is that the oven thermometer need not be fastened securely to the oven door; it may set or stand on the oven rack and can be used to advantage in any oven. The writer knows of four of these thermometers, each a little dif ferent from another, that work splen didly. Their cost is nominal when you consider that fuel is saved and that ma terial will not be wasted through im proper baking once they are purchased. Usually we have the oven too hot, and so, before our cake mixtures have opportunity to rise, a heavy crust forms and our baking is not light. All ovens aet differently, according to fuel, draft and dampers, so a gen erat scale cannot be fixed, but by ob servation you can soon see what heat gives you best results. Cookery thermometers or pyrometers are marked from 200 to 700 degrees. A temperature of 400 to 500 is called "quick" or "sharp" heat, and this is thought right for rolls; 350 is for rve bread, whole wheat and graham mix tures. I he following table will be as nearly correct as can be made off-hand: Put in at Keep at Puff pastry 340 340 Meat pies 280 240 Bread 280 220 Pork and veal.... 250 230 Beef and mutton.. 240 220 Light plain cakes. . 300 to 340 300 MOJA— — An all Havana smoke for a dime whose quality absolutely convinces that it's worth the price.

The idea seems to prevail that be ginners in the work of cookery will accustom themselves more quickly to the use of oven indicators than ex perienced cooks, who have long used the test and try methods, will. This is not true, for I have asked a number of women who have kept house for a gen eration and only recently used therniom eters if they were of value and in even case the reply was the same, "I could not bake without that thing, now, if I had to." You will find these instruments on sale wherever household thermometers and similar indicators are to be had. The price ranges from one to three dollars.
