"I felt sorry for you. being brought like that bv those ruftiianH of Kondoliorg! 1 was ciuite powerless, henauno live here all alone, vou know, with my old Mercutio.

Thev said they were taking you to a convent at Chioggia. and that you were well, not quite right in your head. JJut mr ld servant heard you muttering Va foil eleep.

and he told me you were rlngltsh. so 1 guessed at om that some-tiling very queer was happening, and I sent you a note in English with some breakfast, saying that I would come and release you when all clanger has ovr, and Mercutio lifts Prone to the nhore to trv to reanon with these wicked men who have grravelv misled us.

I'll talk to them! no!" exclaimed the little old man.

They would kill us all! Me seemed genuinely alarmed, and yet his voice still held that quiver of amusement. At that moment at. other very oh! man, obviously Mercutio, the. servant, came ptumbllngr round the corner. At the sight of Millie he cried out excitedly in Italian: Signor, they have pone! The two villains have gone.

The gondola has gone; They must have pushed off from the shore and made away. It was all non-e nse coming hack for the young lady. The poverina! They have no donut robhed her and got rid of her in this way! They were inert of Mestre a dangerous crowd! The little old man heaved a sign of relief and turned to Millie. Have you been robbed by any Chance? She shook her head. had nothin not a penny piece when I got into the train at Como.

Thats the last thing I remember before waking up here." "It Is a ttfystery, said the little old man. Hut he seemed to aceept it, ami to be perfectly satislled because the two gondoliers had departed and let him with his unexpected guest. "Hut, my dear young lady, as you are here vou must aeeept my poor hospitality for a little, while, until can get a boat over and speed you on your way. I pray you to come with me into the house. Millie had lost the rapacity of being surprised.

She took the little old man as a matter of course and followed him cross the farmyard. Turning the corner of the tall building of gray' stone, they came to a narrow cinder path, edged wilh box borders that had grown to ail unusual bight and were straggling all over tin place, with leaves I vellow and shriveled hy the great heat, At the end of tliis was an old stone gateway, through whieli they entered; i he most complete wilderness of a gar den that could possibly lie recognized. Thera were tall trees, eucalyptus and pine, wilh roses clambering up their For Bedtime in Vain W. BURGESS But was clear to Peter that Jimmy had on his mind something more interesting than fat beetles even. As he went along he looked under every bush and behind trees and logs.

At the place where Peter had told him that he had first seen Slow Poke the Box Turtle Jimmy spent considerable time looking about in every direction and examining every bit of the ground. In several places he dug a little, then gave up. Peter knew well enough that Jimmy was looking under the bushes and behind the logs and trees In hope of finding Mrs Slow Poke, but what he kept digging for wa1, more than Peter could guess. Ot course, that made him more curious tnan ever. When Jimmy moved and Peter following reached one the places where Jimmy had scooped out- a little earth with his black hands always stopped and examined the little hole and the ground around it with the liveliest interest.

But all he discovered was that he was just a little more curious than before. For a long way up the Lone Little Path through the Green Forest they went. Finally Jimmy disappeared around a little tarn in the Lone Little Path. When Peter reached that turn and carefully peeped around it, Jimmy was nowhere to be seen. Peter hesitated.

Then he went on slowly and carefully, stopping every hop or two to sit up and listen. "Looking for inquired a voice so near him that Peter jumped foot in the air. He turned to find the face of Jimmy Skunk grinning at him from the end of a hollow log close by the Lone Little Path. "No-o, replied Peter. "Nobody in particular.

So you dont consider me anybody in particular, eh? said Jimmy rather sharply. Peter knew then that Jimmy knew that he had been followed, and Peter couldn't find a word to say. He knew that Jimmy had hidden in that hollow log just to scare him. "Perhaps you arc right. Peter, continued Jimmy Skunk.

"Perhaps I un nobodv in particular. If that is so I shouldnt think it would be worth your time to spv on me. I have more than half a mind to teach you what a disgraceful thing it is to spy on your neighbors. Jimmy lifted his great plumy tail ever so little. Dont! Please dont'.

cried Peter. Ill never, never do it again, Jimmy. Truly I wont. He was hopping about in fear of that scent which Jimmy carries with him to protect himself from enemies and to punish those who offend him. Jimmy turned his head aside to hide a grin.

To make it is simple. Collect together as many rose petals as possible those of old-fashioned roses for preference and be sure they are free from blight or disease.

With a little energy one can collect a lot of rose leaves especially by getting all one's friends to assist in the task. Dry the petals In the sun and weigh them. Say there is a quarter of a pound of rose leaves. Then mix with them these spices: Two ounces each of common salt and bay salt, one ounce powdered orris root, quarter ounce each of cloves, powdered cinnamon, powdered mace and allspice. Mix together in a jar and keep closely covered, stirring every -day for a month.

The following potpourri one of the most delightful possible is easier still to make, since all kinds of scented flowers can be used in it violets, roses, thyme, lemon, verbena, cowslips, lilacs, lilies, lavender, etc. Pull the petals from large flowers and break the heads off the tiny ones, and put the flowers into a jar as they are obtained. Between each layer of flowers sprinkle a little common salt, powdered mace and powdered cinnamon a fairly thick sprinkling, varied according to the quantity of flowers. Keep in jar covered, and when it is full and the flowers all brown and dry stir all together. Ervania.

Near a huge window a table was spread for a meal. The china was priceless; the silver-gilt spoons and forks were exquisite; the linen was fine and richly trimmed with old lace, but absolutely in rags. "How funny! said Millie, as if to her-sIf. "This place reminds me of the place under the ground by Campbells Abbey, where Mr Wells was living. There were things Just like this lying about there." "Did you say Campbells Abbey? asked the little old man with a quiver in Ids voice that was not laughter.

Is it possible that you said Campbells Abbey?" "There isnt such a place, the girl answered. -There's only a few old stones left standing. Its near Burrow-shaw, where I come from. And there are tiig places under the ground, with long passages, and holes that let in the daylight, and a friend of mine was staying down there in one of them once, and I used to go and see him. And there were things like these lying about.

"And once my friend had an accident and I had to bandage his arm and I had to tear up sheets with lace like this on them, and Mme de Fontenelle that is the lady who looks after me she was shocked when I showed her some lace like it in a museum. and said it was worth heaps and heaps of money and couldn't he bought anywhere now! (CONTINUED MONDAY) THE DREAM GIRL By LOUISE OLIVER When the car gave a lurch which sent Jack with great force against someone behind him, and he turned to apologize, he almost lost his breath with surprise. For there, smiling with amusement, was the girl he had been dreaming about. Jack was no sentimentalist.

He was not given to dreaming at all much. Only this girl had got into his head tome way, how, he couldnt have told, and he took to dreaming about her. One night at training camp he had awakened suddenly in the barracks to find dozen fellows bending over him "listening in. "Sweetheart! One grinning soul had mocked. "Dee ar little sweetheart! mama!" "Don't worry, darling.

How can I get killed when youre waiting for me." sang another, waving his arms and dancing around on one leg. You devils! cried Jack, springing up. He found it necessary to stick ones head in the water bucket, and sit on another until he cried "enough, before they would stop. But for weeks he would hear faint echoes of "kiss me, dear. "Yv'ho does honey love?" etc.

He took it good-naturedly, but the part of ft he really worried about was the part little suspected by his tormentors. Of the dozen men in his barracks, he was probably the only one who didn't have a real sweetheart. For the girl he had been addressing so fond-in his sleep was after all a dream ly maid. So now was it any winder that he was too paralyzed with amazement to make the apology he had begun, and colored like girl under his tan? His eyes held hers for quite several seconds before he remembered. "I beg your pardon.

he said, his hand to his cap. "1 hope I didn't hurt you. "No, she said kindly, you didnt. "Its too bad a woman has to stand, declared Jack. "If you say so Ill pick up anybody you choose, and you may have his seat." "No, thank you.

I like to stand. "Good, said Jack. I'm with you. Only soldiers, you see, get the habit. "And Im trying to get the habit, too." She still smiled.

Something was going rapidly to Jacks head amj, so fascinated was he watching the curve of her lips when she talked, and her white, even teeth when she smiled, and the mischievous light in her deep gray eyes, that he scarcely heard what she said. The car stopped. I get off here, she said. Why. so do I.

He followed, for when one finds that a dream girl is real, there is no use letting her turn Into a dream again, He alighted first and turned to help her off. He could do no less could he? And having helped her, he had to stay beside her, didn't he, to see that she reached the sidewalk safely? And. didnt want her to think him a bounder. "Im going shopping! she explained. His face fell.

had hoped that you were going somewhere that I might that 1 could perhaps be of help." Well, you can. If you really want to be useful, stay by me and Ill find plenty for you to do before the afternoons over. "Im yours forever, he cried happily. "1 dont want you forever," she said. But I can make good use of you this afternoon.

I need someone to help me with my family. "Your family! Dont look so horrified. Im not the mother of 10, nor the wife of anybody at all. You see. Ive been trying to hunt up families of drafted soldiers who need help.

Perhaps there will be plenty of seed next year and then again perhaps there wont At any rate. If you grow enough seed for your own use next season you will not have to worry, happens. Some kinds of vegetables are biennials, producing seed the second year, but if you took the advice given in these articles early in the Spring, and set out old roots from the cellar, you now have carrots, parsnips, turnips and beets coming into flower. Even if you are not raising a crop of root seeds you can save seed from all the annual plants, beginning with spinach, which is already in blossom in many gardens. You will need to reserve only a few plants for this purpose.

Leave them until the flowers have passed and seed pods have formed. Removing seed must be done carefully. The best plan is to life the plants by their roots and spread them in the sun. preferably on newspapers, but under cover, so that no dew will fall upon them. When the leaves have become dry you can remove the kernels from the seed pods by rubbing the latter between your palms.

Store the seed in a paper bag In a cool, dry place. Probably you are growing different varieties of lettuce. Let two or three heads of each kind remain until they have flowered and the seeds formed. Be sure, though, that you cut the flower stalks before the seed gets too ripe, or it places frequented by the ants. They are soon a sick lot of pests.

Whether they impart results to the home firm or whether they' gre all killed I know not. Certain it is that they do not pay a second visit. The tartar emetic is a deadly poison and great care should be taken to remove it thoroughly afterward. J. m.

e. If ants frequent house or garden they may be destroyed by taking flour of brimstone, half a pound, and potash, four ounces. Set them in an oven or earthen pan over the fire until dissolved and united, afterward beat them to a powder in water, and wherever you sprinkle it the ants will leave the place. Another good way is to dissolve two pounds of alum in three or four quarts of water. Remain over night till alum is dissolved.

With a brush apply boiling hot to every point or crevice in closet or shelves where ants or cockroaches intrude. This is a sure cure if you wish it for any insects such as buffalo bugs. Keep it boiling hot while using. Hope this will help you. Happiness Only.

I had my trees and shrubbery spraved with arsenate of lead (poison) and after a few days it rained and of course the ground and grass was covered witn poison. Since that time I have seen more black ants, although I had had an army of them in my house every Summer for years and used everything could hear of to drive them out. but with no effect. Suo Lila.

In fact he felt quite uncomfortable. He had felt that way before, and each time he had resolved that he never, never would feel that way again because he nvr, n6V6r aRin would do anything to make him feel that way. Ct HE STOPPED TO PULI, OVER EVERY PIECE OF BARK OR STICK BIG ENOUGH FOR FAT BEETLES TO HIDE UNDER. What was Peter doing? You know. Of course you know.

He was spying! That is what he was doing. He was spying on one of his friends and neighbors Jimmy Skunk. He was following Jimmy, all the time trying to keep himself out of sight, just to find out what Jimmy was after. He was poking that wabbly little nose of his into affairs which didnt concern him in the least, and all on account of that dreadful curiosity which leads him into so much mischief and trouble. Jimmv Skunk didnt once look back.

Peter was thankful for this because sometimes he couldnt find anything, be-hind which to hide. Jimmy went right along in that slow ambling wav of his as if he had all the time in the wortd and then some. He stopped to pull over every piece of bark or stick big enough for fat beetles to hide under. Sometimes he found one and sometimes he didnt. More often he dldn than did.

Now vou tell Mr Casey a few funnv stories to cheer him up, said the girl, "while I make a hot poultice, and put things in the kitchen to rights.

"Funny stories are bad for people with rheumatism, he protested. "Mark Twain said the worst thing in the world was to have rheumatism and bt Anus dance at one and the same time. Can I help in the kitchen? "You can't she said firmly. Talk to him about Terry, then, and put this new blanket over his knees. So Lieut Jack and the dream Rirl stayed all afternoon at the Caseys.

By 5 oclock the little house was in order, dinner ready, and a neighbor installed to serve it. Cant. I call a taxicab? asked Jack, when they were ready to depart. The cars are so crowded now. "No, she refused.

"I either walk or use street cars everywhere I go now. War times! she reminded. "But you spent a fortune on those people this afternoon." "That's it, dont you see. I save where I can. It's a little game of my own.

"It's a wonderful game," he said slowly. When he put her on the car she held out her hand. "Thank you, so much, for all youve done today. Perhaps another day I may ask your assistance. But you see I dont know yet who you are.

He gave her a card. Im only home another week. he said. Make it soon, wont you? But wont you tell me your name, now? And isn't it funny, she said, teas-ingly, after a seconds hesitation. I havent any.

Just call me the Dream Girl. That night Jack was going over some sport things he was packing away and unfolded an old newspaper full or fish hooks, reels and flies he had brought -home in the Spring from a fishing trip. And there was a full-page picture of the Dream Girl! Miss Dorothy Armor, daughter of Frank Hamilton Armor, capitalist and philanthropist, ran the note under-neath.

RETAIL MARKET PRICE Practically Everything Dear, Even Vegetables and Eggs Have Gone Up a Cent What to have for Sunday ditintt I just as big a problem this week as last, as there is practically nothing cheaper in the markets this week than tltete was then.

Meat is as high as ever. Neither fowl, broilers nor duck are any cheaper though slightly more plentiful. Whale meat is to be had at 25 cents a pound, but, dealers say. few who have tried it have come back for it a second time. The flavor does not seem to he popular.

Other kinds of fish are hkh because of the demand which result? from the skyward tendency of meal Trices. Kggs might offer a solution ot the problem, but appUrentlv that is Lst what a good many people have loreseea. for there has been an extrqntely heavy demand for eggs and the prices are cent higher than last week. Ymtetuules are unusually high for June, the them products being scarce liccaiisj the ships dont care to tlirt with the U-boats. There is a rumor about the ms rivet district that the housewife looking tor a substitute for flour can soon starJ laying in a stock of beans instead 01 buying all corn, rye and other meats- Boston wholesale dealers are '''TfV stocked with beans and the demand Ft them is slow.

DICKY DIPPYS DIARY li 1.1 MORMlMCj WHEN WENT THEM POUND ONE AND ONE TAN SHOE nSatlmday: at a hotel where LAST Ml HT 1 POT OUT MY vTHOE TO BE POLISHED. thev were, tan vThohvS: what doels? thus HE tS'TARED AT THEM A AMD xSAiD: SECOMD TIME TiS MORNING DAT MISTAKEN BEEN tangles of tall white lilies, overpowering in their fragrance, and among a mass of weeds, heliotrope and rose-rod geraniums grew wild. There were gravel paths brandling off here and there, and there was one very high and Imposing pergola bisected tiie entire garden. It was one mass of the most glorious color; splen-did-hned flowering creepers, roses, oranges and lemons, passion-flower and clematis all rioted in untouched luxuriance.

This garden delighted the artist in Millie, just as the pearl strung cadences of the great poets had delighted her when John Shaw recited them. Quite suddenly her old facility came back to her, and she began to murmur her impressions in verse as she went along. The little old man caught one or two i You are not quoting some modern poet on an old garden? he asked, ith liis particularly fine smile. "No; Im making it up as go along. "Then you are a poet! What a welcome guest! Will you not allow me to enjoy your muse? Slillie roared with laughter her old, racy laugh.

It seemed that in this neglected garden much of her old unsophisticated simplicity came back to her. The complexities of her existence as Trenchs daughter dropped from her. She was Millie Ford of Burrowshaw I once again. The little old man was in nowise offended at her laughter, and she went on extemporizing half aloud, while he looked around his old garden with new eves and wondered at the manner iti which it appealed to her. Before an antique leaden statue of a dancing faun she stood end delivered herself of some most felicitous phrases, to the old man's huge delight.

1 They came In sight of the house a I strange building, half villa and half fortress, a square of the most delicate Venetian architecture, with graceful 1 open loggie painted in fresco and pierced none balconies, fine as lace. Inclosed by rrim battlemented walls of frowning dark gray rtone, with a round watch tower at each of the four comers and i guardhouse in the center. "A madman built this house, the llt-' lie old man explained. "Giovanni della Tufa, called II Nero, In the 15th century, He built It and fortified it against imag-j lnary enemies. He used to sav the is-I land was peopled with devils who were I seeking his soul.

There used to be a I moat round the house in those days, and he drowned himself in it. After his death the island is said to have been under water for years, but then the waters fell again suddenly and the house had remained intact. They sav in Venice." he added, liis voice quivering with laughter, "that nobody but a madman has ever lived in the house since, and that ft madman lives In it now. "You dont look mad," said Millie. I am glad of that, mv dear young lady.

Millie was not sure whv she had said tha. As a matter of fact, he did 1 look rather mad. That is to sav, his get-up was most eccentric. He wore a kind of Highland costume of grav, a velvet coat and woolen kilt, and on his left shoulder a gay hunch of ribbons, orange and pale blue and dark purple lay flattened out beneath a golden barge. Over his right shoulder he wore ft fleecy woolen shawl, which was held together under his left arm by a large golden pin.

Gray silk stockings showed under his hare knees, and disappeared into beautifully cut boots of soft grav leather, with wide tops, like the Cavaliers wore. His head was bare to the ecorchlng rays of the sun. He had sparse white hair and was cleanshaven. His face seemed to be all nose, a great hooked beak The pale little eyes were full of gentle laughter. The skin was transparent, like alabaster with a light burning behind.

It was the face of a soak living apart, of one whom none of the rrossness of this world had evr tepefied. led her through the narrow gate 0Tt'rle1 of the house, through tha guardroom, into the that aarrounded the beautiful villa. They entered a great cool hall and from there a long room, also delight-Yully cool. Tapestries hung on the walls; the furniture was of gilt and brocade; the ceiling was painted with allegorical subjects. It was all rich and splendid, but drop- 1 UP WITH THE Was Right JONESES Mose 3AY MOSE, DOnY FSPPR.OVE of you hamgin around here UNTIL THIS NOW if you were engaged it Would BE ALL 12JGKT, BUT-J ALOYSIU3 rtGbsMS, ITS FTE MIDNIGHT Go Into TH KITCHEN TELL Bella donna her.
