Lynn Says:
Supper Thoughts. When you
are having cold cuts and a sub
stantial salad as main interest for
supper, have something hot in the
way of a quick bread just out of
the oven. Good suggestions in
clude these that bake quickly:
com bread, whole wheat biscuits,
prune muffins and orange mar
malade rolls.
A freezer of homemade ice
cream is a welcome treat at out
doors suppers. Try some flavored
with fresh berries or apricots, and
be sure to have the cookie jar
handy.
Doll up your garden party sup
per salads with plenty of relishes
such as olives, pickles, radish
roses and carrot sticks. They
make for nice nibbling.
Bring out the checked cloths
and paper napkins, old-fashioned
jugs for flowers, and picnic uten
sils for under-the-trees eating.
They go with the atmosphere.

^CLARK MCMEEKIN w.n.u. service
THE STORY THUS EAR: While voy
aging from England to America, Lark
Shannon’s ship goes down. She Is saved
by Galt Withe, a bound servant, but
made prisoner at the Inn to which he
takes her. She escapes and Is found by
her sweetheart, David North, who Is dis
guised as a gypsy, to get a line on Dr.
Matson, a slave pirate. Lark and David
fall Into the hands of Dr. Matson, but
escape at night, and finally arrive In
Norfolk where she expects to meet David.
At the state fair I.ark rides Red Raskall
—the horse she had managed to hobble
after the shipwreck, and wins the race.
With the money she buys Galt's free
dom. . However, there is a dispute In
court over the ownership of the horse.
CHAPTER XXI
Lark snatched up a tray filled with
butter-molds and carried it to the
spring-house. When she came back
Cupsie said, "Ye look real worn
down, honey. Ah wants ye ter look
pert. Lemme stop now an' cook ye
up a bite. After dat I’ll press you’
blue bomberzine. Miss Lark, whilst
ye crimp yo’ haih.”
"Im not going to crimp it,” Lark
said exasperatedly, “You go get Mr.
Galt’s dinner. I’ll finish this.”
“Yas’m. . . . Don't churn so
hahd, Miss Lark, you suah Lawd
sloppin’ half de cream away.”
Chuckling, Cupsie went to the kitch
en. Lark worked until she was fin
ished but completely fagged out. The
flies, thick as berries on a fruit dry
ing tray, clung heavily to the cheese
cloth. Lark shook it and sent them
into a disturbed buzzing protest. She
molded the last of the butter and set
it in the spring-house and went into
the house, just ns Galt came home
from the fields.
"Why, Lark!” Galt followed her
from the warm pkasant kitchen into
the stuffy chill of the parlor. He
loaned down to touch a sulphur
spunk to the frilled paper fan under
the logs. Then he straightened up
and glanced around with a vaguely
puzzled air. "Something’s funny.”
he said, "something looks different,
lonesome, somehow. Where are
Minnie's worsted mottoes?”
Lark looked guilty. ”1 took them
down,” she said primly, “those and
the crayon portraits, Dan and the
others . . . Oh, Galt, they’re so
common, so outrageously vulgar,
Galt said, "Lark, this is Minnie’s
house, not yours or mine. Minnie
has her pride. Why, Lark, she took
us in. ... She won the Raskall for
us. . . . Lark, honey, it wasn’t
Madame Farrington or Mara Hast
I ings or any of their breed. ...”
But the first guest to arrive was
not the expected one. It was David
North. He apologized that the press
of business had kept him from call
ing sooner, but refused the tea that
she offered. He had, he said, only
a few minutes to stay.
"Oh, David,” she said, "I was so
happy that you, yourself, won.”
“I expected to win,” he said, stiff
ly. "I was • the right. That's what
courts of law are for. Lark, to carry
out Justice.”
"Yes, of course,” she said hasti
ly. "I quite understand that. I just
wanted to tell you how happy I was.
I tried to find you to tell you so that
day, but I couldn’t catch you.”
"Did you. Lark, did you really? I
didn’t know that." David crossed
the room and sat down beside her
on the little love seat. "I didn't
know you cared. Mara said you ran
away from me, that she wanted to
make you comfortable and happy
until I could come back from my
business trip and we could all be
together."
"But, David, I didn’t want to be
’together’ when you belonged to her.
1 was terribly hurt that you hadn’t
told me you were promised to Mara.
If I’d known that sooner. ...”
"But I wasn’t. I'm not promised
to her. Lark, she didn’t tell you
that? She couldn’t have!"
"But, David, it doesn’t matter
now. I’ve got over caring, the way
2 did. So many things have hap
pened. . . . Perhaps it was because
you were the only man I’d ever
known. You thought I was just a
silly little girl Well, I guess I was.”
“I want you to come back to Ma
ra’s, Lark. She, herself, suggested
it. She pointed out that she might
organize an equestrienne course for
some of her young ladies. You
would be equipped, she felt, to in
struct in that. She heard that Mad
ame Farrington had shown you spe
cial favor and thought perhaps you
would be able to influence her to
send some of her grandchildren to
the school. She said the commis
sions would be yours. Then you
wouldn't feel you were living on her
charity.”
Poor David, Lark thought, he
doesn't see, not even the least little
bit.
“I’m not going back to Mara,”
she said gently, “I’m happy here.”
"Leading a tenant’s life. Lark?
You don’t realize that in Virginia
society. ..."
"David. I don’t know anything
about Virginia society. I’ve no place
in it and I don’t want to have any.”
“But Lark, isn’t young Withe here,
too? Mara pointed out to me how un
suitable it was for you to be staying
here without a chaperone. I feel like
I’ve failed you. I promised I’d look
out for you and I haven't done it.
I’m not promised to Mara. I admire
and respect her greatly. But Lark,
why, honey% I love you!”
"And I’m proud I've got a good
deal to offer you. A thousand pounds
from this Matson business, a share
in the profits of the Company from
now on, and a good social position
in the respectable society of Norfolk.
I’m glad to offer all this to you. my
dear, very glad, indeed.”
The Seth Thomas clock spoke Its
four silver notes, and Madame Far
rington’s famous pair of trotters
pulled to a halt at the toll-house
gate.
Lark said. "David, I’m sorry, ter
ribly sorry, but we wouldn’t be hap
py together."
"You mean you’re not going to
marry me?” David’s astonishment
was perfectly genuine, “but, Lark,
why, Lark!”
The arriving guest stood in the
doorway. “Oh.” she said, "I’m sor
She was in his arms now.
ry, I didn’t know you had another
visitor."
“I was just going." David picked
up his beaver and bowed a stiff
farewell to the two ladies.
"Mr. North, wasn’t it?” Madame
Farrington as..ed with a twinkle
in her eye.
"I suppose he Wanted you to come
back and teach at that dreadfully
genteel school that those obnoxious
ly elegant Miss Hastings run,” Mad
ame Farrington said, curiously. “I
hear that the most objectionable one
of them (Mara, is that her name?)
is planning to marry him.”
Lark said, as she led Madame
Farrington into the parlor, “Mr.
North is a fine business man. . . .”
"Business man!” Madame Far
rington dismissed the breed with a
wave of her ringed hand. “This is
farming country,” she said, "all our
men round here are farmers.” She
glanced out of the window to where
Galt could be seen astride Red Ras
kall, busy with the direction of the
hands.
Immediately she fell on the em
broidered texts, gilded corn, and
highly colored chromos with delight
ed appreciation. She laughed with
Lark over them. And the ice was
completely broken when Lark con
fessed her temporary desecration of
hiding them. They were superb, she
said, typical of Minnie, whose expert
handling of the law case had estab
lished her as a neighborhood fa
vorite. "Minnie’s got a quick wit
and an engaging personality,” Mad
ame Farrington said approvingly.
“My granddaughter. Sherry, wants
to hire her to entertain the guest!
at our annual Christmas ball. You
and Galt must come to that, my
dear, you really must."
“We’d love to,” Lark answered
and added, "Minnie's a character,
but I’ve found out she’s a lot more
than that. She’s so good, so kind,
so. . . .”
Madame Farrington patted her
hand. "So fine, in spite of her ec
centricities. I share your admira
tion for Minnie. We were all de
lighted when it was her quick think
ing that saved the horse for you. If
Plascutt had won his case he would
have been ostracized, completely os
tracized, by the entire county.”
"Well, I must be going now, but
I've enjoyed my visit immensely.
You must come to see me soon,
Lark.” M|^lame Farrington rose and
gathered up her reticule and furred
mantle, moving toward the door.
“And, when you come, bring that
good-looking young beau of yours
with you. Tell him if he’s going to
get ahead as a farmer he’ll need
advice about his winter wheat and
about the Raskall’s training. I’ve
been in the game a long time and
I know a thing or two, in spite of
my own grandchildren’s opinion to
the contrary. You two young people
will pull well in harness together.”
With a twinkle of laughter in her
eye, she leaned over and kissed Lark
quickly as she started calling her
coachman to leave that pretty little
yellow wench and help her into her
carriage, threatening him with a
whipping if he didn’t come this in
stant; and then, when she saw him
already outside, giving him the sug
ar cake she had filched from tea for
his latest picaninny. Her black eyes
smiled merrily at Lark. “Don’t for
get to ask Minnie about the Christ
mas party,” she said. “But I’ll be
seeing you and Galt before then,
many times!”
As Lark went back in the house,
she heard Galt’s voice calling her
from the stable, asking if she didn’t
want to come help him pitch down
hay for the horses’ supper, as she
usually did.
She ran to him. He looked up,
surprised to see her in her good blue
dress. “Oh, I remember now,” he
said, "I’d clean forgot. Did the old
lady come? Was she hi-faluting? I
meant to come help you out, Lark,
honest I did, honey!”
Lark said, “She came, Galt, and
she was fine. But before then I
had another visitor . . . David.
Galt—he—he—”
“He wanted you to marry him?
Lark, you look so funny.” He looked
at her queerly and said slowly,
“That’s what you’ve been wanting
always, isn’t it?”
She nodded.
“Why, Lark, darling, you’re cry
ing!" He put his arms around her.
Red Raskall whinnied softly. Lark
said, “I’m crying because I was so
foolish, so blind. First I wanted Da
vid more than I could bear, almost.
Then I didn't want him. Then I
wasn’t sure. Did you ever know
such a silly girl, Galt, ever in all
your born days?”
“I never knew so sweet a girl.
Lark, so dear a one!”
Then, suddenly, she was laughing.
"Even Cupsie had more sense than
I had. She knew all along. She
tried to tell me. . . . Galt, you
don’t like girls who crimp their hair
do you? You wouldn’t want your
wife . . . ?”
He studied for a minute. “I like
your hair. Lark, I like everything
about you, just like it is. I wouldn’t
want a change.”
She was in his arms now. It was
comfortable there. Her heart was
at home. Red Raskall whinnied soft
ly again, and Lark’s hand stroked
the silky sheen of his neck. The
horse turned and nuzzled her shoul
der.
"His colt and Dosta’s, we’ll name
it Madoc, won’t we, Galt?”
“Lark,” Galt held her close to
him, “Lark, I never hope to see a
woman ... as dear ... as sweet.
Oh, Lark, honey, un be so beautiful!
Un prides my heart!”
