Is love with Nan Primrose. His friend. Dr. Woodman, who has a young daugh ter, is threatened with the loss of his drug business by Bivens, whom he be friended years before. Stuart visits the Primroses. Nan wants Stuart to accept a place With Bivens' chemical trust. dislikes Biv ens' methods and refuses. Bivens calls on him. Bivens is in love with Nan. Stuart re fuses the offer, and Nan breaks her, en gagement with the lawyer. Bivens asks Woodman to enter the trust. Woodman will not yield and sues Bivens* company. The promoter tells the doctor he and Nan are engaged. Harriet Wood man is studying music. Stuart takes Nan for a day in the country. Stuart pleads with Nan to give up Biv ens. but the spell of millions is on her and she yields to it. Nan becomes Mrs. Bivens. Harriet loves Stuart, but he does not know it. Nine years pass. Stuart becomes* district attorney. He investigates criminal trusts. Nan asks him to call. Stuart wants Woodman to end his suit against Bivens. but the doctor stands firm. Bivens aids Stuart in his investi gation of crooked financiers. Stuart's revelations aid in bringing on a crisis. Bivens promises to aid the Van Dam Trust company, which is in trouble. Woodman needs money badly. In the stock market slump engineered by Bivens, Woodman and many others lose all. The trust company fails because Bivens, at command of the money king, breaks his word. Stuart faces his Celtics in front of Bivens' bank. The mob attacks Stuart and injures him slightly. Na sees it and reveals her love. Bivens piles 190,000,000 on a table and calls Stuart to see the money to re fute rumors of his financial weakness. Stuart is tempted, to join Bivens as his confidential man. He accepts an invita tion to visit the Bivens house and is re ceived by Nan. At a meeting of the discontented, at which Bivens is denounced, a bomb thrower is killed by his own missile. Woodman decides to continue his fight against Bivens. Harriet confesses to her father her love of Stuart. She needs money to continue her music studies abroad, and Woodman tries to see Bivens to give in to him. Har riet is to sing at a ball at the Bivenses. Harriet sings at the Biven ball, which has for its special feature a costume dance of "death and the worm." Nan and Stuart revive old memories. Bivens refuses to compromise with Woodman. The doctor," in desperation, •teals some jeweled favors intended for the financier's guests. Stuart's plea with Bivens for Woodman is in vain, and the lawyer refuses to join in the millionaire's plans. Woodman pleads guilty and Stuart, who has re signed as district attorney, defends him. Sentence is suspended.- 'Bivens is illT At his Insistence, Stuart accompanies him and Nan on a duck hunting trip to Virginia, although Stuart fears Nan's presence may tempt him beyond bis strength. CHAPTER XIX. The Devil Smiles. S TUART returned with renewed energy and enthusiasm to the practice of law. The wide fame he had achieved as district at torney brought him the best clients and from them he was able to choose only the cases' which involved principles worth fighting for. His spare time he gave in a loving effort to restore the doctor to his old cheerful frame of mind. He had returned Bivens' money in spite of his protest and made his old friend a loan sufficient for his needs, taking his personal note for security. He had no difficulty in learning the progress of,Bivens in his search of Europe for health. The daily cabled reports to New York always gave his condition as better. But Stuart knew the truth. He received two or three letters a week from Nan. She had told him in full detail the little man's suf fering, and at last of his homesick ness, fast developing into a mania. He was not surprised at the end of three months to hear her familiar voice over his telephone. •-..__'••••• "Yes, we've returned, Jim—sailed in cognito to escape the reporters. He is very feeble. We haven't been in the house three hours, but he has asked for you a dozen times. Can you come up at once?" Stuart hesitated, then, "I'll come," he answered slowly. He lost all sense of danger in the warmth and tenderness of Nan's greet ing. He not only forgot his fears but reproached himself for his low esti mate of her character in supposing that she would allow herself or permit him to cross the line of danger. Her solici tude for Bivens seemed deep and genu ine. Bivens' joy at meeting Stuart was pathetic, and moved him deeply. He was surprised to find him so strong, apparently, in body and yet so broken in spirit. The little shrunken hand clung to his friend's. I "You know, I felt the thing creeping oh the for the past two years, but I couldn't let up. That's why I tried so hard to put some of the load on your shoulders. At least you can help me to get well. To the devil with the doc tors! I'm tired, too, of all the syco phants, liars and fools who hang around. I didn't mind''em when I was well. But they get on my nerves bow. The doctors kept dinning into my ears that I've got to Test and play, "and finally one old duffer over in France put an idea into my head that brought me back home to see you. He told me to get on a small boat with a single nurse and a congenial friend, get away from land, cut every telephone and telegraph line, get no mail, and shoot ducks all winter, and he'd guarantee I'd a new man next spring. I've "^"'SXJ- *S» you gave~me.to shoof ducks wltlTyou down In Virginia." "What invitation?" Stuart asked In surprise. "Why, the one you used to reproach me for not accepting. Will you go With me now?" Stuart shook his head. "I can't go," he said slowly. Bivens hadn't said Nan must go on that trip, but In a flash of warning in tuition he knew It The danger of such a situation on a yacht would be real and only a fool would rush into it. "Can't go? Why?" the financier asked in tones of genuine distress. "I've Important legal business. There's no use in my going. I can tell you exactly where to go, the guides to get and the kind of boats you'll need. You'll get along better without me." "I won't go without you," the finan cier said peevishly. "You know the place* you know all about the birds, you can teach me the ins and outs of the business and I can trust you. 1 know that you won't try to worm out of me any information my enemies would like to know. I appeal to the boy I used to know at college, the fel low who fought for me one day,",_ Stuart hesitated and looked at Nan. who had stood motionless while Biv ens spoke. "Well, If .that's the way you put it, I'll take a vacation and go with you for a month." Bivens seized his hand and pressed it gratefully. "Best medicme I've had in weeks" Nan walked slowly across the room, looked into his eyes and said, with emotion:. "Thank you. .Tun." In five days the party' had completed all preparations and Bivens' big steamer, the Buccaneer, slipped quiet ly through the Narrows and headed for the Virginia coast, towing a trim little schooner built for cruising in the shoal waters of the south. They had scarcely put to sea when Stuart began to curse himself for being led into such a situation. Bivens bad insisted with amateurish enthusiasm that they begin the cruise on the little schooner—with her limit ed crew and close quarters—at once, and use the Buccaneer as her tender. The moment they struck the swell outside Sandy Hook the financier went to bed and the doctor never left his side until the trip ended. Nan was in magnificent 'spirits, her flheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled frith the joy of a child. Stuart watched her with growing wonder at her eternal youth. The night was one of extraordinary springlike air though it was the 15th of December. A gentle breeze was blowing from the south and the full moon flooded the smooth sea with soft silvery radiance. Nan insisted that Stuart sit on deck with her. There was no help for it Bivens would allow no one except the doctor in his room, and so Stuart resigned himself to the beauty of the glorious scene. "Jim!" she said, softly. "I don't like your attitude, and I think we'd •entbe for *ontoAccept..ttift testation |bJtci nose^jsf Jhe^.Buccaneer, flowly "Best medicine I've had in weeks." better fight it out here and now in the beginning of this trip. It's useless to deny it. You hesitated to come on deck with me in the moonlight this evening. Your assumption of such chilling virtue is insulting. I wish an apology and a promise never to do so again." "Have I really made you feel this?" he asked contritely. "You have and feel it keenly. Let's come to an understanding. You and 1 both live in glass houses set on a very high hill. No matter what may be the secrets of my heart, I'm not a fool, and you can trust my good sense." Stuart pressed her hand and said gently: "I'm awfully sorry if I've made such an ass of myself that you have receiv ed this impression." "Then I forgive you!" she cried, with a laugh, releasing her hand and rising, "but on one condition." "Name it." "That from this hour you be your old self without restraint and let me be mine." "I promise faithfully." *Then you can help me down that steep companionway and I'll go to bed. Good night." But he didn't spend a good night. The longer he thought of lt*the more sinister and dangerous he felt his po sition. At last he squarely faced the fact that his desire for Nan had in creased a hundredfold by the fact that he had lost her. As he sat in the darkness in his stateroom he could. hear every sound In the adjoining one which she occu pied as plainly as if the thin panel ling of wood were not between them. He was a fool to be caught in such a trap. His love had been too big and serious a tragedy to end in a vulgar in trigue. He made up his mind to cut his trip short on some pretext, and in the meantime he would devote himself faithfully to an attempt to start Bivens on the road to recovery. At 8 o'clock the next morning the Mi heF way Into Hog" fslandTInlet, oh the shores of *ld Virginia, and drop ped her anchor in the deep waters of the channel back of the sand spit. As Stuart stepped on deck'a cloud of black ducks circled gracefully over head and slowly spread out on their feeding grounds. His heart gave a throb of primitive joy. He was a boy again and the world was young. "Confound them!" he cried. "I'll show these ducks a trick or two be fore this trip is over." He was glad he came. Bivens had put him In command of the little schooner, and he gave orders at ouce to lower a tender and tow her to' an old anchorage he knew in a little cove behind Gull marsh. And then his trouble began with Bivens. "Let *em fly if they want to I'm not going to budge. Go yourself, Jim." "Go myself! What do you suppose I gave up my work and came down here a month for? I came to try to teach you how to liva, you fool, and I'm not going without you. Get into your togs! The guides are here and ready. The tide waits for no man. not even a millionaire it's ebbing now."* "Well, let it ebb. I don't want to stop it!" the sick mart snarled. Nan carue in. pressed Stuart's band ns she passed, nodded good morning tnd joined her voice to Stuart's. "Come you must go. Cal. It's a glorious day." The doctor slipped in a word too. "By all means. Mr. Bivens. get your hand in the 6rst day." Bivens lifted himself to a half sit ting posture, glared at his physician and yelled with fury: "Get out—all of you—and let me alone!" The doctor and Nan left on tip toe. fcut Stuart folded his arms arid looked at Bivens. "Oh, come now, this is too ridicu lous, a quarrel the first day of our shooting. But you'll have to get one thing fixed in "your head once for all: you don't run the entire world. The telephone, telegraph and mail service have been suspended. The Buccaneer has put to sea for New York. You're on a little eighty-foot schooner, anchored in a bay ten miles wide and a hundred miles long and I'm in com mand. I won't stand any nonsense from you. Come down off your perch, quick!" Bivens started to swear, caught the expression of Stuart's face and sucU denly extended his hand. "I'm sorry, Jim you must not mind my foolishness. It was awfully nice of you to come. I'll stay in today, but you go and get some ducks for din ner, like a good boy, and say—take Nan along and teach her to shoot. It's getting to be the rage' among the high flyers for the women to shoot." "Please do, Jim!" Nan cried from the door. She had listened outside to the duel in the stateroom. "All right," he answered. For five days Bivens stuck to his bed with dogged determination, and each day Stuart went out with Nan. Never had she been more resistlessly charming. Each day their associa tion grew in tender intimacy and every fear that had stirred his heart at first was lulled at last to sleep. On the sixth day Bivens rose early and declared that he would try- the ducks. The barometer was falling, and dark, snowy looking clouds were piling up on the western horizon. A breeze came stealing out of the cloud banks with the chill of snow in its breath. Bivens insisted on going out at once, against the advice and the protest of the guide. He not only insisted on go ing after the ducks, but, what was worse, swore that he was going to get his mail and telegrams from the shore. Stuart protested vigorously. "I've told you that the guide is the only man who can run that tender over the crooked course to the mainland, and if he goes away we'll have no one to take us out." "What do you need a guide for? It's not a half mile to those blinds. I've seen you every day go'back and forth in plain view of the yacht. Nan could row out there and back by herself. Send him ashore. Don't you know how to put out your own decoys?" "If a strong blow comes we'll need two strong men to handle the boat." "Rot!" Bivens cried. "We've got two tenders. Send your guide ashore with one of the sailors to run his engine. The other man can tow us out and back-'V (To be continued) Oysters as Food. Oysters come nearer in composition to cow's milk than do most other meats, as all the four kinds of nu trients needed are present in good de gree. Oysters have a larger excess of the flesh building substance relative to the other constituents than milk, so we "balance the ration" by addition of starchy food and fats when eating oysters, thus securing a good meal at a cost that compares favorably with that when other meats are chosen.— Professor Julius Nelson of Rutgers College in Leslie's.

Some Helpful Suggestions Muffins would be served on many more breakfast tables if this meal were not prepared so hurriedly that there is not time double _raise a in batter may be stirred up the night before and if set in a cool place, it will remain in a partially leavened condition all night, and the raising will be completed when put ia the oven in the morning. No difference will be noticed between muffins mixed tho night before and those mixed immediately before baking. This should not bo attempted however, with any of the old fashioned single-acting baking, powders. The old fashioned way was to bake muffins in a hot oven, but this makes a thick heavy crust and a soggy center, which is unpalatable and hard to digest. The proper and healthful way to bake muffins is to start the oven at a low temperature, just as for baking cakes. When the muffins come up to the top of the pan, the heat should be raised, and they should be baked until a crisp crust ia formed. This crust will be thin, and the centers will be found light andfluffy,but thoroughly baked. Always sift the flour and baking powder together at least three times, no matter what kind of pastry is to be made. This will insure its rising evenly and the flour is lightened by having air sifted into it. Either water or milk may be used for muffins. Milk will make therichermuffin and brown better, but water will answer the purpose very nicely when milk is not to be had. A most excellent "spread" for muffins, hot biscuits and hot cakes is made by creaming together about equal parts Of butter and honey either strained or in the comb. If the butter is solid it will work up to about the consistency of hard sauce and it is simply delicious. (First publication, Jan. 15-3w). 2TOTXCE.
