Tlie girl jumped as if she liiid touched
a dynamo-wire. Tlu words liurt her
when they canto, though she know they
wore coming. .Hiu beaten Jim beaten i
Ronton, terlui)s ; hut owning it with his
own hold month! It went shivering
through her, half terror, half cold anger.
It was black, deep, awful. Jim made the
papers intd a roll, ami then bent it
across his knee.
'"Phis '11 never get out of my shop,"
he said, so low she eould hardly hear him.
"When you're a foul, Carrie, it's a very
good thing to know it."
And walking around the table he
opened the door of the little stoe. Then
the girl, leaning apprehensively on the
table, brought herself erect with a sudden
cry.
'Mini!"
For one giddy second she remembered
there had been yards below her, and
fences in thin lines, waving green
branches, the steep, smooth slant of
shingles front her feet, a sickening drop
at the eaves she felt herself falling,
wavering, falling then a boy's voice
and she saw him stand there steadily
before her, eyes slitted half-shut, making
her steady too. And then it came rolling
in on her, what that had meant, and what
it meant now to see .lint there, and the
purple-flickering coals. He was falling,
too scared, wavering, his nerve gone.
Ho was itfraid.
"Give me that."
It was anger that told her what to do,
steady, white-hot anger such as she never
had known. She knew he would obey her.
lie pulled the papers out and flung them
to her on the table. One corner was
burning, and she stamped the llame out
with her hand.
" Von ain't " she said.
"Well?"
" A rnwiml, .lint."
She threw it in his face, her head up,
her hands (inhering, .lint eyed her with
amazement, then with something like a
grin; then he turned very red. It made
Carrie sick to look at him, so sheepish,
so comical, in that great moment when
she saw the headlong precipice there, the
untried path at his feet and the whito
peaks shining round him.
"You ought to be ashamed!" she
cried. "I'm ashamed of you! To start
Carrie spread out the drawings on tho
table.
"Come here," she ordered, in .lint's
own best manner. "Now you look. This
tower didn't you know it was right
Didn't you know it was the very finest
thing that could be, tonight at the res
taurant f Didn't you know itf"
"M-in-m," .lint admitted gently. "It
looked prettv good. Hut it is ginger

"May be. 1 don't know. Hut 1 can
.see, and it is beautiful. It is! It is!
It is! That's what 1 meant when 1 said
'pretty.' "
"Oh," dim said, "the stuff hangs to
gether all right enough! The curves sing
up pretty well. You know, Kid, with all
this polished white tile on her she'd hit
that blue tropic sky with a bang."
"Of course, dim! Of course, she
would. You see that, don't yon"
"1 see that, Kiddie. Hut well
I've been afraid of this style sill along.
That tower is too much of a good thing."
"Hut"

pressed it down on the table.
"You're tired, dear," she said.
The little rosy word was out, though
she never meant' to say it; and, shocking
as it was, she would not have taken it
back for all the world, .lint did not even
know what she hud called hint, though
something must have reached him; for
when he spoke, the anger and the hard
laughter were both gone out of his voice.
"I im tired," he said thoughtfully.
"That may make a difference."
Her hand was still on his, and she
moved it a little, caressing his thick, cold
fingers. lie turned his head with an odd
smile.
"You like this?" he asked.
"1 do, .lint."
"And you know good architecture when
you see it I "
"Oh, yes," she answered cheerfully
and Carrie knew, when she said that, that
she was lying.
"These drawings are in pretty bad
shape," dim mused at last. "Hut they'll
tnkc 'em all right. And Oh Lord,
there's another plan to finish!"
"Will vou send them, then"
"M-m."
"That 's a promise?"
"Sure! "
So, her battle was won; and Carrie
brooded on thu wonder of it while dim
came into sunshine -- st retiming white
sunshine and all the busy morning
racket of New York; and it was all
glorious to Carrie.
"Now it's coming true. You're going
to Peru," she sang as they turned into
bellowing Sixth uenue. Anil: "Did
you notice, dim You got scared just
the way 1 did on the roof, and 1 said just
the same thing to you about being a
'f raid-eat. Remember f"
"Oh, that old stuff at (Iraiulpa 's! "
dim said. "No. I onlv remember one
part of that."
"Which part?"
" You kissed me."
"Oh! "
Jim lookeil down sharply at her chalk
white face, streaked with dark shadows
by her long night watch.
"I'm game to do that much oxer
again," he said. "Well there's your
restaurant."
They had come to the corner, and he
stopped, and watched n car go clanging
northward toward his ollice.
"Little girl," he said, "I only get
twentv-fhe :i week, vou know. It ain't
lunch. An'. M-ui-m. Hut "
"I don't belioe I understand you."
Carrie was lying again.
"Well, here's my car. Goodbye,
We'll talk it over now, see here
Well"
"What?" said Carrie.

thing may happen, where almost anything
does happen occasionally, at rourtocntli

the highest price because it combines tho
tenderness of spring chicken with tho full
lltivored, juicy meat of maturity.
In selecting ti goose, get one that is
fresh and fat; for tho fatter the goose,
the more tender and juicy it will bo when
cooked. They tire marketed at the age of
six months to one year, tho best age being
about ten months. If older than a year
the meat will bo tough. Tho yellow legs
ami bill of the young goose grow red as
tho bird grows older. Try the skin with
a pin head and bend tho breast bono, as
in all poultry. Pressure on tho windpipe,
should cause' it to snap or mash liko n big

Tho domestic duck is chosen by tho
same general signs as all poultry and tho
samo special signs as tho goose. Long
Island ducks, xvhich are grown very
quickly, reach the marketable ago in ten
weeks." These are fine summer ducks;
but in winter one should select the sloxvly
matured duck. The Pekin duck, as a slow
grown bird, is plentiful at this season.
At ten months, which is tho best age, they
weigh from seven to eight pounds.
Pigeons are the only other domestic,
bird in general use. Old pigeons havo
thin legs and dark breasts. Young ones,
the

breast and full, fresh-colored legs.
All poultry keeps better dry-picked
than when scalded. The best plan is to
have the bird drawn as soon us slaugh
tered; but present market conditions pre
vent this. An uiidraxvn fowl keeps better
for market purposes than one that is
or fork under tho tendons and draw out
one at a time. This makes the first joint
as tender ns the second. Then, cut the
feet from the first joint. Keep imineised
