Timothy Jones is ill at his home on $1 85 69c Corner Oil DRY SUHDAY Just after Tarnley had established fcli latest picture of Miss Edmont on his mantel his sister came to Chi cago for, a brief visit, mainly to see how her fresh man brother was getting on. "What a pretty Tarnley's sister exclaimed effervescently as he Investigated the photograph.

Then she glanced at tbe one next to It and i the next and then What a Pretty another Rapidly Girl!" she swept the walls of the room she flashed an accusing glance at Tarnley. "You've 11 pictures of" this same girl!" she cried. "You you must be fold of her, Tommy!" "Nothing of the sort!" contradicted Tommy, gruffly, meanwhile turning a brick red. "She she's In some of the classes. Just happened to pick them up." "Uh huh," said Tarnley's slBter.

'Tve observed that one is apt to pick up 120 a dozen photographs from the dust of the street!" "Think you're smart, don't you?" growled Tarnley with his back to her, trying to recover his equanimity. There was no denying that Tarnley was frightfully smitten. It wasso serious an infatuation that it had passed the power 6f mere words, so he had ceased to rave about Miss Edmont to the other fellows." Other men might remark fervently that their best girls were "peaches" and "out of eight," but Tarnley only gripped his pipe tighter and gazed at the ceiling while he thought pityingly of the other fellows. His adoration had been so volcanic and sweeping that he had edged all other admirers from the field. Tarnley was exceedingly good looking and agreeable, bo Miss Edmont apparently did not object.

He lived In a dream of anticipation before every party and in a heavenly trance during the occasion while he was the proud cavalier of Helene Edmont attired in some confection of white or pale pink. Afterward he walked around with his head In the air, thinking how she had outshone every other girl. "Cheer up!" Bobbett said to him rudely one day. Bobbett was a sophomore and worldly wise. "You'll outgrow it and outlive it.

The first attack is precisely the same as being vaccinated and when you get the real thing it won't go hard with you in consequence," Tarnley gazed upon Bobbett with corn and passed on. Let Bobbett talk about the real thing In the future little he knew that for Tarnley a great and glowing sun already had risen which was to illume his life for ever and ever! When the year was ended and Tarnley had to bid her good by for three months the occasion was epic. He stood pale and very straight and tall and held her hand. "Every day?" he asked. "You'll write every day?" "Oh, yes," she promised.

"I don't know how I'm going to endure not seeing you," Tarnley went on thrillingly. "It seems as if the world has come to an end, Helene my Helene!" Getting his Buitcase, he boarded the train for the flourishing city from whence he balled. Three months is a long time. Of course Tarn'ey went about and attended picnics and parties with other girls, but his heart was still true to Helene. Various things seemed to Interrupt Helene's promised routine of a letter a day.

She was east at the seashore and there were trains and boats interfering and then, she wrote, she was having such a splendid time. In the fall" when Tarnley came tearing back to Chicago he rushed to see Helene the first thing. She was out. When he called again a six foot junior was blandly occupying the reception room ahead of him. It eeemed that the junior, too, had been at the seashore.

When the situation became generally knowii the fellows wondered how Tarnley would, take It. They were prepared to feel very sorry for him and when some man who was decidedly new and ignorant of things mentioned Helene Edmont every one in the room held his breath. Tarnley did not nicker an eyelash. "Miss Edmont?" "It Took, Didn't It?" he repeated, condescendingly. "Oh, yes she Is a nice little girl; awfully nice! I used to know her well myself.

Quite pretty, in fact but shallow awfully shallow!" He knocked his pipe against the table. "Gee!" reflected Bobbett "He Isn't putting it on! He really feels that way! Say," he murmured to Tarnley when he got near enough, "remember what I said to you last year about vaccination? Well, It took, didn't it?" "I don't know what you mean," said Tarnley haughtily after a stare. For Tarnley was no longer a freshman. He was a sophomore. Chicago Dally ADDITIONAL IMTTSTOX.

To broil a steak properly Is one of the most important undertakings In cookery. Many cooks send It to table turned on the outside while the interior Is raw, while others cook It into a dry tastelessness.

There are several rules to be ob served if the steak is to be a suc cess. The Are should he clear and free from Bmoke, the gridiron should be scrupulously clean, well heated and greased before the meat Is put on. If the fire is too hot the meat will be hardened and scorched; If not hot enough the juice will escape and the steak will be "flabby." The gridiron should be held slop lngly over the fire so that the fat may run off to the back of the grate. If it drops on the coal a blaze will result which will blacken the meat and cause it to have a smoky flavor. If, however, by chance, a blaze should happen during the time the steak Is broiling the gridiron must be caught and held away from the fire until the flame is gone.

A little salt thrown on the Are will prevent this. Should the fire be too brisk raise the gridiron on two bricks, one on each Bide of the opening. Steaks should' be turned often In order that they may be done In every part. The fork used for this purpose should never be stuck in the lean of the beef, as it causes the gravy to escape; It must be put in the outer skin or fat. Seesaw.

Nodfl Erery time I go on a vacation swear I'll never take another. Topp Why don't you stick to it? Nodd Because every time I stay at home I vow 1 11 never do it again. Brooklyn Life. Nobody likes an overture very well. (but band and orchestra leaders contin ue to play them because it is custom uj.

Atchison Teddy Bear Pudding. "Te6dy bear pudding with dee light ed" sauce Is one of the odd features of a tearoom bill of fare and has proved one of its best drawing cards. Tbe pudding has no especial relation to its name. It is a frozen custard, rich with glace fruits and French chest nuts, and is toppled with whipped cream flavored delicately with wine. A home made version of tbe pudding would call for an ordinary custard sweetened a little more than is necessary when the custard is not to be frozen a few French chestnuts boiled tender and mashed through a sieve while hot and glace fruits of any or all kinds cut fine.

Stuffing for Pillows. Dried grass clippings, thoroughly sun dried In order to remove all possible dampness, makes a soft pillow. Corn husks treated in a similar manner are splendid for porch pillows. Milkweed pods also are used for this purpose. Gather them when ready to burst, remove, the seeds and center and put down into your pillow for soft ness equal to those you purchase at the store.

For hard, ornamental pillows fill with cotton batting all the slip will possiUir hold. These you can stand anywhere. Excelsior and newspapers torn in tiny strips also are good and lighter in weight. Mend with Ravelings. Gashes or rents which have been torn in tailored suits or any woolen or colored cotton fabric can be darned so as not to be noticeable even though in a conspicuous place, by darn ing with the ravelings of the goods, clipping all frayed edges closely and carefully an'd pressing over a thin cloth wrung out of water, with a hot Iron.

Stewtd Bests. Cook six medium sized beets. When oft, peel and chop in Take water and vinegar, salt andv pepper to taste, one dessert spoon of sugar, butter tie sise of a walnut. Cook all together 16 minutes, then thicken with Sour to the of cream. Serve In side dish na vegetable.
