CHAPTER XXIL Continued. )
He repeated the words , "It feeds on
Itself , " as though he found satisfaction
In them. 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 ,

"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.

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.

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

WAYS TO COOK HAM
PREPARED IN SOUTHERN STYLE
MEAT IS DELICIOUS.
n
.
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

Someone Might Get Hurt.
Pietro had drifted to Florida and
was working with a gang at railroad
construction. He had been tcld : to
beware of rattlesnakes , but assured
that they would always give the
warning rattle before striking.
One hot day he was eating his noon
luncheon on a pine log when he saw
a big rattler colled a few feet in front .
of him. He. eyed the serpent and be
gan to lift his legs over the log. He
had barely got them out of the way
when the snake's fangs hit the bark
beneath him.
"Son of a guna ! " yelled Pietro.

He noticed her complexion , her curves . .

wanted to speak , ' and yetFinally he
summoned , courage and walked over I
to her. ,

"Didn't I talk with you for about ,

asked.

Children's taste is ofttimes more . .
ac
curate , In selecting the right kind of t }
food to fit the body , than that of I
adults. Nature works more accurate- tl
ly through the

A Brooklyn lady " A
says : "Our little
'
boy had long been troubled with
weak digestion. We could never per- n '
uade him to take more than
one taste _
of any kind of cereal food. He was , -
L weak little chap and
we were puz .
zled ; " to know what to feed him on. t
"One lucky day we tried Grape- ,
pc-
' ;
Nuts. Well , you never
saw a child i
eat with such a relish , and it did me . . . ' .
good to see him. From that
day on
t seemed as though we could almost
see him . I j
grow. He
would eat Gra
Nuts for breakfast and Grape-
supper , and I
think he would have liked the food .
for dinner. f ; .
"The difference In his
appearance Is
something wonderful. I
"My husband had never
fancied c - -
„
real < foods of any kind bl '
, but he be-
came ! very fond of
Grape-Nuts
and has ,
been much improved in health
since I
sing it. I
"We are now a healthy family and , tq
"
Qaturally believe in Grape-Nuts . " ,
