He was quite willing now to yield everything to Zelda's hands' : The very way In which she asked questions was a relief to him. "Mr. Balcomb gave you a thousand dollars to bind a bargain-Is that what : you call It ? - for the sale of the creek strip. I think I understand that But are there debts-are there other things that must be paid ? And if we stiil have two houses' we can get money for them. We must face the whole-mattor now-please keep nothing back. " "I have told you everything. I hae squandered your money in speculations -gambling Is the name for it ; but I have kept the farm and this house , un- touched. Everything else , has gone and I have given an option for the sale of "fhat strip of ground on the creek. And I sold a block of lots ' belonging to you In an Irregular way. I coula not sell property without an _ order of _ _ court- that was required li > y your mother's will ; but my necessities were great , and Balcomb arranged an abstract to suit himself-but I let him do it I am the guilty one ; it is my crime. " I "Let us not use unpleasant words. It's my birthday. I'm quite grown up and you must let me help-or find help ! " "Yes ; but not Rodney ; not 'your un- cle , " he said , hurriedly. "He is vio- lent very violent. He would have no mercy on me. And I * am an old man , and broken , very badly broken. " "I shalL have to tell Uncle Rodney ; but you need have no fear of him , I promise you that Mr. Carr Is your lawyer , Isn't he ? " she asked. "Yes ; but he has been away. I took advantage of his absence to do things he "would never have 'countenanced. " "There Is Mr. Leighton. " "No , no , not that man ! " She had tried to avoid any reference to the in- terview of the night before , but the mention of Leighton's name brought the whole wretched scene clearly be- fore her again. It was he , more than her uncle , that she relied on. " ' "I'm sorry you feel toward him as you do , father. I believe that we might trust him. I look upon him as a friend. " Ezra Dameron was weak and the talk was wearying him. He closed his eyes and rested him head on the back of the chair , moving it from side to side restlessly. He was beaten and he was not heroic in defeat He was stunned by the failure of his gambling . operations. He had lived so entirely in dreams for a year that it was dlffij cult for him to realize the broad day- light of a workaday world. Echoes of the harsh things that had passed be- tween him and the child of his own blood but a few hours before still haunted him. She had summoned the apparition of her dead mother and had called him a liar ; and he had insulted her in the harshest terms he knew ; but he was now leaning upon her help- lessly. He did not know and he could not understand , the motives that were prompting her. He had thrown away her money , and she did not arraign him for it ; she was even devising means of covering up his ill-doings : and the fact that one could overlook and pardon the loss of a fortune was utterly beyond his comprehension. "Try to cheer up " she said , resting tier hand on his shoulder for a mo- ment "Don't talk to anybody about business of any kind. Urn going down to uncle's ; and you needn't be afraid of him , or of anybody. " . . . * . Rodney Merriam greeted Zelda cheerily. . "Am I not the early bird ? " she de- manded , walking Into the library. "I had hoped that you would congratulate me In genial and cheering words. It's my birthday , L would have you know. . " "At my age - " "You've said that frequently since we got acquainted. " "As I was saying. , at my age , birth- days don't seem so dreadfully import- ant But I congratulate you with all my heart , " he added , sincerely , and with the touch of manner that was al- was charming In him. He drew out the : drawer of his desk. "Of course I haven't any gift for you ; but there's some rubbish here-hardly worth con- sidering-that I wish you'd carry away with you. " He took out a little jeweler's box and handed it to her. "I've rarely been so perturbed , " she aid. "May I open it now , or must I wait till I get- home-as they used to tell me when I was younger. " "If you're interested In an old man's taste , you may open it I'm prepared to see you disappointed , so you needn't pretend you like it. " She bent over the gift with the ea- gerness of a child , and pressed the catch. A string of pearls fell Ints her ap and she exclaimed over them joy- ously : - "Rubbish , did you say ? Verily , I , i that was poor , am rich ! " 1 She threw the chain about her neck ' and ran it through her fingers hurried- ' ly ; then she brushed the white hair from Rodney Merriam's forehead and kissed him. , "You dear : you delicious old dear ! I know you hate to be thanked- " I "But I stand kissed. I can being . Put those things away now ; and don't for- ) . get to take care of them. You can give them to your granddaughter on her wedding day. " . I ' 'I can't imagine doing anything so foolish. I can see myself cutting her J off without a pearl. " , ' . The suggestion of poverty carried anr ; Irony : to the mind of both. Her father 1 was a rascal , who had swindled her I out of practically all of her fortune. 1 He was a lying hypocrite , Merriam said . to himself ; and here was his daughter as calm and cheerful as though there were no such thing as unhappiness in 1 theworld. . His admiration and arfee4 4 tion rose to high tide. , "I'm sorry : if I seemed a llttie-rpre- pre-"A-yesterday " she said. "But It I . . was all new and strange. And I have known that you djd not 'like , father. You will overlook whatever I did and safd yesterday , won't you ? " "It's a good plan "to begin the. world over every morning.-- : I want to you you in any way I can , Zee. I began' ' at the wrong end yesterday. The fault was all mine ! " "Father and I have had a long talk about his business He approached It last night on his own account. I have told him that I was coming to you. Father haa met with misfortune. He has told me frankly about it : he spec- ulated with the money that belonged to me-and the money Is all gone. " "Yes ; I am not surprised. " "There Is the house we live In and the farm-they are still free. He says they belong to me. " ; "If he has Jioth. pledged them for debt In any way , they pass to your possession to-day. They are yours now. " "Yes ; I understand about that. This Is my fateful birthday ; " and she . smiled. 'But there are some things that aro not quite right. Father has told me about them. There Is something about an order of court , which affects a piece of property that he has sold through : yils Mr. Balcomb. Father takes all the I blame for that I suppose that Is what you wished to tell me last 'night. But I'm glad I heard It from father. I hope you will not be hard on him. He has talked vto me in an honorable spirit that , that-I respect very much. " "Zee ! " he exclaimed. "Zee , he isn't worth it ! " "Please don't ! " - and the sob clutch- ed her throat agaIn-"I didn't come to ask what it was worth ; but to get you to help me. " "Yes. Yes ; to be sure. It must be done your way , " he replied , quickly. "But it's the right way. Now I want you to tell me what to do. People have bought property of my father , and he failed to get the approval of the court. I'm not sure that it was his fault-it must have been Mr. Balcomb's way of doing it But it makes no difference , and father takes all the blame. Now a title given in this way is not right-is that what you say ? " "We say usually that titles are good or bad"-and he smiled at her. "But there must be a way of mak- ing ] this good. " "Yes ; ; perhaps several ways. That Is ] for a lawyer. You are the only per- son that could take advantage of. an omission of that sort , I suppose. " "That Is what I wish to know. And it j wouldn't be very much trouble to make ] it right. " "We must ask a lawyer. Morris un derstands about , it. He is considered a good man in the profession. The ad vantage of calling on him is that he is a friend and knows Balcomb. " "I told father I might ask Mr. Leigh- ton to help us. " Rodney looked at her quickly. Ezra Dameron , Zelda his daughter , and Mor- ' ris Leighton ! The combination sug- gested unhappy thoughts. "Morris is coming up this morning. He said 11 , and he's usually on time. That's one of the good things about Morris. He keeps hist appointments ! " "I imagine he would ? Uncle Rodney , I'm going to ask you something. It . may seem a little queer , but every- thing 1 in the world is a little queer. Did you ever know-was there anything"- It was the sob again and she frowned hard in an effort to keep back the tears-"I mean about mother-and Mr. Leighton's 'father ? " The blood mounted again to the old man's cheek , and he bent toward her angrily. "Did he throw that at you ? Did Ezra Dameron , after all your mother suffered from him , Insult . ' you with that ? " ' "Please don't ! , Please don't ! " and she thrust a hand toward : him. appeal- ingly. "I used to see the word past ! n books and it meant nothing to me. , But now It seems that life Isn't to-day at all ; it's just a lot of yesterdays ! " The old man walked to the window and back. "It was your mother's mistake ; but it must not follow you. When did your father tell you this ? " "Yesterday-last night I had pro- ' voked him. It Is all so hideous , please never ask me about it-what happened 1 at the house - but he told me about that" "He's a greater dog than I thought he was ; and now he has thrown him- self on your mercy ! I've a good mind to say that we won't help him. Mor- ris' father was a gentleman and a scholar ; and Morris is the finest fellow in the world. " "Yes ; but please don't scold ! It won't help me any. " . "No ; I can't ever scold anybody. My hands are always tied. I'm old and foolish. Talk about the past coming back to trouble us ! You have no Idea what it means at my age ; it's the past I the past , the past ! until to-day Is eter- nally smothered by it" And then the bell rang and he went to open the door ( for Morris. I ] "Morris : , " he began at onc , "we can omit the preliminaries this morning. Mr. Dameron's trusteeship has expired. , His daughter is entitled to the prOp- erty left her by her mother , or its . equivalent There has been a sate of property that is not quite regular , and , N - t "We wish to make it quite legal- quite perfect , " said Zelda. "And we wish to avoid publicity. We must keep crut of the newspapers. " "I understand , " said Morris. . . Zelda had ' purposely refrained from mentioning her father's own plan of continuing himself as trustee to hide the fact of his malfeasance ; but with Morris -present , she felt that her uncle was easier to manage. "We have agreed to conttnue the trusteeship , Just as It has been. Fath- er and I have had a perfect under- standing about It" . , - "No ! no ! we won't do It that way * shouted Merriam. - - - . , r 3AlN tiP89D15 Tfi tt'l .ll'Ad''ttC.iS ' > { f } : . + DF" iF . ' + { ' _ . . . , - - - - - - - - - - - But Zdfla did not look at him. Her : eyes appealed to Morris and he un- derstood that In anything that was done , Ezra Dameron mnst be shield- ed ; and the , Idea of hiding Dameron's irregularities struck him as reasonable and necessary. "You can give your father a power oi attorney to cover everything has left of yours If you wish It , " said Mor- ris. - ris."I "I won't hear to it ; it's a farce ; lt'3 playing with the law , " declared Rod- ney. . "Uncle Rodney , I'm glad the law can be pla .ed .with. There's more sense In it than I thought there was. You will do it for me that way , won't you- please ? And there are some people who have paid father for' 'an option on what he calls the creek property. I wish to protect them , too. " "You needn't do that " said Morris. "We can repudiate the option probably. It's not your affair , as the . law views It. " "But I wish to make It my affair. I wish to do it , right away. I've heard that important things can't be done right away , but these things must be" -and she smiled at Morris and then at her uncle. "You understand , Zee , that If you give this power of attorney you are brushing away any chance to get back this money. " "Yes ; perfectly. And now , Mr. Leighton , how long will it take ? " Morris looked at Merriam as though for his approval. "Uncle agrees , of course , Mr. : . Leigh- ton. You needn't ask him"-and the two men laughed. There was no mak- ing the situation tragic when the per- son chiefly concerned refused to have it so. She had accepted theloss of the bulk of her fortune and the fact of lien father's perfidy without a quaver. Sha seemed , indeed , to be in excellent spir its , and communicated her cheer to the others. . ' "If this is final - " began Morris. "Of course , it ' s final , " said Zee. "I'll come back here at 4 o'clock and you can sign the power of attorney If you wish. But there's one thing I'm going to do--on my own responsibility , if necessary. I'm going to get back that option on the creek strip that Mr. Dameron gave my friend Balcomb. Bal- comb's a bad lot , and I'm not disposed to show him any mercy. " . "I'd rather you didn't-if my father pledged himself to sell - " "Let Morris do it his way " begged Merriam. "You may be sure Balcomb won't lose anything. " "I'm afraid he won't " said Leighton and left them. ( To be continued. ) PACTS ABOUT COPPEE. . Java Plantations and the Mocha Found in Arabia and Abyssinia. The old coffee houses have long since disappeared , but the popularity of the beverage remains , the Westminster Ga zette says. Only two plants of the spe- cies are cultivated to any great'ex - tent , namely , Arabian coffee and Li- berian coffee. As a rule the coffee shrub first flowers in its third year and then only bears a small crop of fruit. The fifth year is usually the time of the first considerable yield. In Java three gatherings are .made an- nually , called the "early , " the "chief" and the "after crop , " but only the sec- ond is of great importance. The flow- er enjoys only a very ephemeral exist- ence , as the setting of the fruit gener- aTly takes place within twenty , four hours and the petals wither and fall off almost immediately. A coffee estate an full flower is a very beautiful sight , but Its glory is very soon past. The' name Mocha coffee is applied generally to the coffee produced in Ara- bia and Abyssinia. The best portion of the crop , it is said , goes to Turkey and Egypt , being purchased on the trees by traders , who themselves look after the picking and preparation. Abyssinia is the original home of cof- fee and it is stfll grown there in its native luxuriance and primitive abund- ance. The finest coffee of Arabia Is grown in the Yemen province , and the best beans are reserved for consump tion In the country or by the court of the sultan ofTuikey , the khedive . ot Egypt or the. shah : of .Persja in other words , by theprincipal ru ers. of ; , thsr MohametanT world. In. . the-British empire the chief coffee producing coun - tries t are India , Jamaica , British Cen- tral t Africa and Ceylon. Small quanti t ties of the product are grown also in Queensland , British Honduras and Na tal , while in almost every part of the * tt tropical regions of the empire one or other species of coffee 1st cultivated for , local use. use.For For Renovating Good . A process for the renovating of dress goads or other fabrics has been- . invented by a Missouri man. The ap- paratus consists s of a stand , like a I reading desk , with 1 a roller attached c to the lower end. * 3 The goods Is placed s on this stand and drawn up as the work progresses. " The actual work D jf renovating done by a sand blast , ( propelled through a tube with a fan- s shaped mouth. The sand Is propelled 0 through the tube by compressed air , c which may be supplied by a foot pump r ind : is directed first against the direc- c Ion : of the nap of the fabric and af- & ierward : with the direction of the nap. . rhis results In a cleaning out of all sxtraneous material , and after this is . lone the particles of sand and other s substances csn be easily _ removed bj bmshtng or by a blast of air. The ad- vantage of using the sand Is that it works . its way under - the nap as air would not do. After this treatment ' a the : goods are chemically cleaned. , _ x . a t ] The standard of height in the Brit- i Ish army is greater than In any othery army in the world. * - Vi Tobacco seeds are so minute that a , Vi thimbleful : will furnish enough plant &i for an acre of ground - - - - - _ _ ' - - _ .

Maryland Has a Recipe That Is Slightly Different From Method by , Which Dixie Housewives Prepare It. There are few more delicious dishes than Virginia ham cooked as the Dixie housewives cook It. If you have been fortunate enough to get a Virginia ham cured as they cure it you are to be congratulated. Soak in cold water over night , or , if very salty , for 24 hours , then scrub thoroughly and put to boll in cold wa- " ter. > Cook very slowly until tender. Remove the skin , which should come off easily ; then prepare a dressing made from one beaten egg , two spoonfuls , brown sugar and rolled cracker or bread crumbs , all beaten together , and rpread over the ham. Sprinkle liberally with pepper and put into a dripping pan to bake. Pour a pint of sherry over the ham and bake and baste until the wine is absorbed atod : : the ipp of the ham well browned. The Maryland way of cooking ham Is a little different. The ham is taken from the bag , washed carefully and . soaked over night. 1C is then put into cold water and allowed to simmer gently until about half done. When taken out the ham Is set aside to cool , and when cool Is skinned. A dressing is now made ready , consisting of a parcel of cabbage sprouts : , a handful of parsley and a slice or two of stale bread run through the meat grinder. These are all chopped fine together and seasoned with plenty of black pep- per Incisions are now made in the ham with a sharp knife about an inch apart and extending from the hock down the whole length of the ham. Then these gashes are stuffed to the very bone with the greens. A wooden skewer corns ; : into play In this stuffing process. Before baking the ham is sprinkled with a mixture of sugar and cornmeal and then set in the oven after adding a cupful of hot water to the dripping pan. Bake until brown , but without basting , as the steam will keep the ham moist. If the water bakes away add more from the tea/ kettle. Jellied Veal Loaf. For these warm days , when meat Is hard to prepare and have it ap petizing , I have found this recipe most excellent , ready for six o'clock dinner , or on Saturday for Sunday's dinner : Four pounds veal stew With joints ; after washing place in stew kettle , cover with boiling water , and cook slowly three hours or more , until meat is tender. When half done add one ( small onion cut fine , one table. spoonful ' salt , and enough pepper to suit individual taste. When veal is done remove from the fire , but leave meat in the liquid until cool enough to 1 . put through food chopper ; after it Is cut place meat In narrow bread pan and pour the liquid over it. Stir well , then smooth on top. It will jelly and makes a delicious cold meat. Frenched Tomatoes. Scald and peel a half dozen small , solid round tomatoes. Make a half pint of good cream sauce by cooking 1 together a rounded tablespoonful of butter with a level tablespoonful of flour [ , then adding a cup of milk cook- ing [ and stirring until a smooth creamy sauce results. Season with a saltspoonful of pepper. Put a table- spoonful of this sauce In the bottom of a buttered custard cup , lay on It one of the little peeled tomatoes cover with another tablespoonful of the : sauce and a dusting of bread- crumbs. : Stand the cups In a pan of boiling" waterr and bake half an hour in : a moderate oven. Serve in the cups. Twenty Minute Codfish Balls. Cut and pick dry codfish In small pieces , freed from bone and skin , l and soak In cold water while you peel and dice potatoes. Take two cupfuls of codfish to four cupfuls of diced potatoes. Put In cold water and boil s until potatoes are tender , drain water off , and mash as for mashed pota a toes ; season with butter and pepper and beat in one egg well. Drop from spoon ; Into hot fat and fry a delicate Is brown. Garnish with lettuce or Isg parse ley. They are nice and light and g can : be prepared In twenty minutes. it This quantity will serve four per. itSi sons. : SiIS IStl tl tlf f Chili Sauce. This chill sauce Is made without si boiling and will keep to the last bit. One ) peck ripe tomatoes chapped fine ; r sprinkle in two cups of salt and drain C overnight In the morning add two b cupfuls of chopped celery , four small U red ! peppers , chopped , two cupfuls of chopped onions , two cupfuls brown n sugar , one cupful of mustard seed , one nfc teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon , fc one teaspoonful of powdered cloves , sa : two quarts of cider vinegarfx and 81b : set away.
