CHAPTER X.
When Zelda asked her father' ona
day where his office was , he answered
evasively that it was in the Dameron
Block. This was an old-fashioned of-
fice building , with a basement and a
short stairway leading to the main cor-
ridor. It was no longer fashionable , as :
the better class of lawyers and real es-
tate brokers had sought building of a
later type that offered electric lighta
and elevators. The Dameron Block
faced the court-house square , and was
the habitat of divers small attorneys
and real estate men. In the basement
below , . a justice of the peace sat in
judgment next door to a musty old
book-shop , where the proprietor , a
quaint figure with a great mop of
Iron'gray hair , sold pens and paper
and legal blanks to Dogberry Row , as
this quarter of the street was called.
Zelda strayed into this thoroughfare
by chance one winter afternoon short-
ly before Christmas and was arrested
by the sight of some old books in the
bookseller's window. The venerable
bookseller came out into the barement
area and spoke to her of the books ,
holding a volume meanwhile , with his
forefinger closel upon the page he had
been reading. Yes ; he kept French
books , and she went into the shop and
looked over his shelves of foreign
books.
"There is very little demand for
them , " he said. "Some of these are
rare. Here is a little volume of Hu-
go's poems ; very rare. I should be
glad if you would take it for a ollar-
any of these poets for a dollar. But of
course I can only offer. It is for you
to decide. "
"I shall take the Hugo , " said Zelda. I
He wrapped it for her carefully , even
regretfully , and-held the packet for a
moment , caressing it with his hands ,
while she produced a dollar from her
purse and took it from him.
"Call again. I have been here for
Et
twenty years ; Congdon , Dameron
Block. "
"Yes , Dameron Block , " repeated Zel-
da.
da.The
The constables and loungers on the
sidewalk in front of the justice's court
stared at her as she came out and
glanced for a moment at the upper
windows of the building. A galvanized
iron sign at the eaves bore the name
'Dameron Block , 1870 , " in letters that 1
had long since lost the false aspect of h
stone given to them originally by gray ir
paint. IT
Zelda went into the dim entrance
and read the miscellaneous signs that
were ; tacked there. One of them was
nscribed "E. Dameron , Room 8" ; and g
t
passing on she presently came to a
p
frosted-glass door , where the same
legend was repeated. It was late in the
afternoon : ; possibly her father would irP
go home with her , she thought , and P
urned the knob. ir
She entered a dark room on a court-
way , evidently used as a place of wait- s
Ing ; there was another room beyond ,
eached by a door that stood half-open. ir :
irhi
Her father was engaged ; his voice rose hi
hih
rom the inner room ; and she took a h
hair by the outer door of the waiting- PI
PIS
oom. She looked about the place cus
riously. On a long table lay in great H
Hhi
disorder many odds and ends-pack- hi
hiw
iges of garden-seed under dust that w
ifforded almost enough earth to sprout
hem ; half a dozen fence pickets tied e
ogether with a string ; and several w
trata of old newspapers. On the floor tl ;
n [ a corner lay a set of harness in a st
lisreputable state of disrepair ; and stm
pasted on the walls were yellowed m
sheets of newspapers containing tables al
hf
ol some sort. Zelda did not know what It [
these were , though any of the loafers tl ;
tlaj
in the curbstone could have enlightena
ed her as to their character-they were si :
lIe : official advertisements of the sales siPi
f tax titles. Ezra Dameron always Pi
talked poor , " and complained of the Lr ;
aurden of taxes and street improve- tl :
ments ; but he had been the chief buy- tlm
r of tax titles in the county. m
"I'm sure that I've been very lenient. il
ery ( lenient indeed , " Ezra Dameron ei :
vas saying. "I have , in fact , consider- eiHi ;
ed it a family matter , calling for conIi
siderate treatment , on the score of my ej :

ad been otherwise , I would have been ec
jbliged to take steps-steps toward 63 :

"I regret more than I can tell you te

The purring voice stole through the 0.1 :
intercom , where Zelda sat forward in w
ier chair , listening with parted lips and wm
ironder and pain in her eyes. The book m
i her lap fell to the bare floor mak- c. ;

She gave a little gasp and reached for
it , scarcely stooping , so intent were
her eyes on the door of the inner room ;
and when she had regained it , she ran
into the hall and down the steps to the
street.
She felt a great yearning for sympa-
thy , for some one to whom she could
confess her misery and heartache. It
was growing dark , and when she
reached her uncle's house , the lights
shone brightly in his library. She knew
he was there , and that she could , at a
word , make his house her home and
shake herself free forever fromx her
father. The was always rebuffing and
thwarting her Uncle Rodney in his ef-
forts to help her. But at the gate she
paused with her hand on the catch , .
and hurried on. She came to Mrs. .
Forrest's house. There , too , a welcome
awaited her ; but the thought of the
overheated rooms , of the cheerless lux-
ury in which her aunt lived , stifled
her. She felt no temptation to maks
any appeal there. She turned into a
side street that led to her father's I
house and walked slowly homeward. I
Without putting aside her wraps she
dropped a match into the kindling in
the fireplace of the living-room , and
waited until the flames leaped into the
throat of the chimney. Polly was in
the dining-room , showing a new assist-
ant how to lay the table for the even-
ing meal , and she came to the folding
doors and viewed Zelda with the in-
terest that the girl always had for her.
Polly was Zelda's slave , and she went
about half the day muttering and
chuckling over what seemed to her
Zelda's unaccountable whims.
"Polly , " said Zelda , "this is Julius
Caesar's birthday - or Napoleon Bona-
parte's or the Duke of Argyle's-do you
understand ? "
The black" woman showed all her
teeth in appreciation.
"And we'll have out the candlesticks
those very high ones ; and you may
use that gold-banded china and the
real cut glass. "
Polly departed chuckling and Zelda
went to her room. Her father was
reading : < his newspaper by the fireplace
when , she came in upon his startled
gaze an . hour later. She had arrayed
herself m a white silk evening gown.
He : had never before seen her dressed
si ; 0' at their family dinner-table. : The
ong skirt added to her height. Her
1Ch
hair was caught up from her forehead
in an exaggeration of the prevailing
mode.
"Good evening , father ! I thought I'd
ilress up to-night just for fun , and to
get the crinkles out of my things Isn't
.
his gown a perfect love ? EFs- real
Parisian. "
She swept past , the rich silkbrush -
ng him , and then - Polly . .having , ap-
peared , < at the door with her eyesstar -
ng from her head :
"Now let us feast while we- may ; " she
aid.
She passed before him into the din-
ing-room with an inclination of her
lead and to her place. The old' man
lad ; not spoken and he sat down. with I
painstaking care , finding , apparently
some difficulty in drawing in his chair.
Ee bowed his head for the silent grace
le always said , and raised his eyes
svith a look of sweet resignation to the
jirl. Nothing in the old house ever 1
scaped his sharp eyes. The old china
with its gold band , and the cut glass
hat had not known service for years
truck him at once.
Ezra Dameron did not understand '
nuch about human nature , though like
ill cunning people he thought he did.
t was beginning to dawn upon him
hat Zelda was deeper than he had im- h
gined. Perhaps , he said to himself ,
he was as shrewd and keen as him-
elf ; or , he asked again , was sno not v
laying some deep role-even laying a ,
rap for him ? He did not know that
he moods of a girl are as many as the
noods of the wind and sea. He re-
nembered that his wife had been eas-
ly : deceived. He had crushed the moth-
r ; but this girl would not so easily : be
mbdued. The candles made a soft ]
ight upon the table. He lifted his y
jyes furnively to see whether the gas 1
1 the chandelier overhead was light- 1c 1s
ed ; and was relieved to note that the c
travagance of the candles was not ,
tugmented there. He drew his. bony .
ngers across the table-cioth , feeling l'n
ts : texture critically. He knew that it l'i
lad been taken from a forbidden shelf l'n
l'a
f the linen closet. Clearly his rule n
ver the ancient Polly was at an end. g
When they returned to the living- a
'oom he tended the fire ; and when he
ook up his paper nervously , from hab-
, he put it down again , and began to *

all : . Almost for the first time since
elda's return , he showed an interest 1
L her foreign experiences , and led her
) speak of them. And she exerted _
erself < to be entertaining. He had
supposed that Mrs. Forrest would
prejudice Zelda against him during the
ears in which she had kept the girl v
way ; but his daily scrutiny had dis- vv
vered no trace of disrespect or con- v
mpt ! in her attitude toward him. t
It had been on her tongue several t
mes to ask him boldly about the debt ti
f E Olive's mother , even if it should be t
ecessary to confess that she had over- _
eard his conversation with Mrs. Mar-
am ; but this might cause an un- a
leasant scene. No great haste was
ecessary , she judged ; and so she w
waited. She could probably persuade a
icr aunt or uncle to help her in the
ematter
natter when the time came , if no other
vay should occur to her.
When she went at last to her room ,
he old cedars outside her windows II
were moaning softly. She found a
satisfaction in bolting her door , and
hen she drew from her writing-table
he little book , tied with its faded rib-
Don [ , and opened it to the charge her
nother had written-those last pitiful
words - and read them over and over

She lay awake staring Into the dark
for half the night , with tearless eyes ,
one hand clasping the little book under
her pillow.
CHAPTER XT.
Zelda saw much of Morris during the
winter. He went often to the old
house Merriam : : street In spite of the
fact that he assured himself constant
ly that she did not interest him more
than other girls. She continued to de-
light in plaguing him , particularly be-
fore her uncle , who learned , however ,
not to praise Morris to Zelda. Mrs.
Forrest pretended to be a diligent
chaperon , bwt Mariona social affairs did
not amuse her , and she went out very
little. Frequently Merriam took Zelda
to the theater ; now and then he con-
nived with Morris : to the end that Olive
should be asked , and the four would go
afterward for a supper at Merriam's
house. Zelda brought Olive more and
more into touch with her own life. She
knew no happier day than Christmas , I
when Mrs. Forrest-not , however ,
without urging-gave a family dinner
to which Ezra Dameron , Olive and her
mother sat down at the same board ,
with Rodney presiding. There were
times when Zelda's courage failed-
when the shadow of her mother's un-
nappiness fell darkly upon her ; but
she made no sign to the world. So tho I
winter passed , and in the first bright
I
wistful days she went forth with Zan
to find the spring.
"I have not heard you speak of your
aunt and uncle of late , " said Ezra
Dameron to Zelda one day , after she
had been for an outing with Olive.
"I saw Aunt Julia this afternoon. She
isn't well ; she suffers a great deal. She
has asked me to go away with her
again-she likes going about , and she
has planned to visit a number of sum-
mer places. "
"If you don't go , what will she do ? "
and the old man looked at Zelda with
a gleam of humor in his small gray
eyes.
eyes.Well , I have asked her to come to
the farm. " .
"I am very glad you did. It would
be a capital arrangement.
"But she won't come. She does not
like that sort of thing. She likes to bu
where there's something doing. "
"Yes , yes ; a worldly woman ; a very
worldly woman"-and Dameron wag-
ged his head as he buttered his roll.
He was silent for several minutes , and
when he spoke it was in a tone of
kindness.
"And so you are coming with me.
Zelda ? I had hoped you would. I have '
wished it so much that I have not
pressed you to commit yourself. 1
knew that your aunt would be likely
to offer something more attractive than
a summer at The Beeches. "
"Yes , father ; of course I shall go
with you. I have never had any other
.
intention. "
"You are very good to ' me , Zee. I am
grateful to you : for many things. An
old man is very poor company for a
young girl. I had feared ; that you
might not besatisfied here. Your un
cle and aunt have never treated me
fairly. We have nothing In common.
I am glad , to find that they have not
estranged you and me ; the paternal
relation is a very beautiful one ; very ,
1
beautiful. "
j
Her father had spoken often during
the winter of the farm. Zelda's wil j
lingness to go' there was a great relief
to him ; and when she suggested that
she should like to- ask Olive to spend
the whole of her vacation with them
he made no objection. He knew that
she saw Olive frequently ; Zee had ask-
ed her cousin to the house for meals
several times since the Dramatic Club t'i
episode , and. her father had treated Ol - i
ive [ with his usual' formal courtesy. The (
main thing with Ezra Dameron was to 0n
keep : Zelda away from her aunt and 0fl
uncle : ; and it flattered ' his vanity that b
she remained with him so steadfastly
fl
and took apparently so filial an inter- fle
est in his happiness comfort. Zel- flo
da went to Olive- at once with her in- flt
vitation. b
"I'd be delighted ; of course , Zee ; but t
you mustn't make it hard for me to n
refuse. This is my busy summer ; we 1
have to move ! "
"Oh ! " said Zelda.
"We're mortgaged ; ; that's the trouble
with . us ; we're not only mortgaged , but
we . can't . pay ! So we hope to find an- P
other house somewhere and get out of
a
the : way. "

Keep' YourFeet Straight. a
How many men know how to walk ? n
Most \ men turn their toes in or out , a P
writer in the New York Press says. c
The toes should point straight ahead fic
so ; that the foot at the end of each fiP
step can give the body that upward , P
forward ' impetus that results in what t
is called a springy walk. This does not Ra
mean that a man should walk exclus a
ively on his toes. The whole foot o
b
must be used in proper walking. The
tJ
oose step of the German army is as
li
absurd as the boy's prank of walking lis
s
on his heels. The Almighty has not
freighted ' the foot with a single super-
fluous part. Every inch of every foot
is meant for use.
When a man walks in the right way 01
01o
-speaking literally-the back of the of
heel strikes the ground first. Then the tJ :
rest of the heel comes down , after o
which the outer edge of the foot takes tai :
he bulk of the burden pntil the fora
aig
ward , movement shifts the weight to g
he : ball of the foot and finally to the of
oes. The ideal step is a slightly rockP
ng : motion. At no time should the entl (
ire foot be pressed against the ground. g
Heel to toe is the movement. Try it irfi i
and see how much further and more fi ]
easily : you can walk. It's the Indian's h
way , and what Poor Lo doesn't know li
bout , footwork can go into the dis
acard.

MAKING THE BREAD'
SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE
REMEMBERED.
Good Grade of Flour Is the First Re-
quisite - Quality and Quantity
of Yeast , Etc. , Largely a
Matter of Choice.
The flour is the first consideration
In making a loaf of bread. Good flour
should be of a yellowish white tinge ,
rather granulated and free from bran.
i After selecting the flour the yeast
must be chosen. It should be strong ,
sweet and pure. What kind it shall
be must depend upon circumstances.
Compressed yeast cakes are conve-
nient , and will do the work much
more quickly than ten times the
amount of homemade or bakers' yeast.
Indeed , the compressed yeast is al ,
most indispensable for the quick-rais
ing process , which Is now considered
the Ideal method of bread making.
In making the dough the flour mayl !
be moistened with water or milk , or .
milk and water. . If milk Is used , It
should be scalded ( not boiled ) , then
cooled. This ' Is necessary prevent
souring.
If water is preferred it should be
boiled and cooled to lukewarm. If
milk and water , pour the boiling wa-
ter into the milk. Those who prefer
water declare that it is not only more
economical , but that it preserves the
sweet , nutty taste of the flour , while
those who believe in milk claim that
milk bread is more tender , . nutritous
and agreeable to eye and palate.
A good rule for mixing bread is as
follows :
Put one tablespoonful of butter , one
tablespoonful of lard , one tablespoon- ,
ful of sugar and one and one-half tea-
spoonfuls of salt into a large bowl ,
pour on one cupful of scalded milk
mixed with one cupful of boiling wa
ter ; when lukewarm add one yeast
cake dissolved in lukewarm water ;
to this add five cupfuls of sifted flour ,
then stir until thoroughly mixed , us-
ing a knife ; add one more cupful of
flour , mix , and turn on a floured board ,
leaving a clean bowl ; knead until mix-
ture is smooth , elastic to touch , and
bubbles may be seen under the sur-
? ace. Knead quickly for about fifteen
to twenty minutes. Return to the
bowl , cover with a clean cloth , then
with a board or tin cover. Let rise
over night in a temperature of about
65 degrees Fahrenheit.
In the morning cut the dough with a
knife , turning over and cutting several
times. The dough may be again
raised , and recut , if not convenient to
shape into loaves and biscuit at the
first cutting. Toss on board lightly
floured , knead , shape into loaves and
biscuit . , fill pans , slightly greased , half I
full. Cover , let rise again to double ( I
its [ bulk , and bake in a hot oven.
If the oven be too hot the crust will
brown before the heat has reached the
center and prevent further rising ; the
I
loaf should continue rising for the first
fiftean minutes when it should begin
I
to : brown and continue browning for
the : next twenty minutes. When bread
is : ! done it will not cling to the sides
of the pan , and may be easily re-
moved.
P
Biscuits require more heat than loaf ,
1
bread ; should continue rising the first
flve minutes and begin to brown in S
eight mintu s. Bread may be brushed
over with melted butter three minutes
before removing from the oven if a
ender < crust is desired. This recipe 1
makes two small loaves , or one double a
oaf < and a pan of biscuit.
b
c
Apple Dumplings Boiled. tl
Boiled apple dumplings are made
hus : To two cupfuls of sour milk
add one teaspoonful of soda , the same
of salt , one-half cupful of butter , lard d
and flour enough to make the dough li
L little stiffer than for biscuit ; or lit
make a good baking powder crust. t

It Is a Mistake
Many : have the idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This Is a great mistake. True , a
tew sales might be made by advertis
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article is the enormous sale that had
grown ; up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
Jc. This wonderful record is the result
if great merit successfully made known '
through : persistent advertising and the
nouth-to-mouth recommendation given
ascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes , trade pi-
rates prey ; on the unsuspecting public ,
by marketing fake tablets similar ! n
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised In purchasing well
advertised goods , especially an article-
that has a national sale like Cascar-
ets. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed off on you.

"Economy , " said Daniel W. : Field \ . ,
the millionaire shoe manufacturer of
Boston , who at the age of forty-five ?
has entered Harvard , "economy is es -
sential to wealth , but by economy I
don't mean niggardliness.
"Too many' men fail to attain to
wealth because they practise a
cheeseparing and mean economy that
gets everybody down on them. '
"They practise , in fact , an economy ;
like . that of old William Brewster of
Sag Harbor. William , you know , would
never buy oysters because he couldn't
eat shells and all. "
