Damn It, Moorehouse," he roared, fairly beside himself, "the charge waa too heavy; it overshot." "Are you much hurt?" panted Caton "Merely pricked the skin." Then Brennan's angry voice rang out once more. "I demand another shot," he Insist ed loudly. "I demand it, I tell you, Moorehouse. This settles nothing, and I will not be balked just because you don't know enough to load a gun." , Caton wheeled upon him, his blue eyes blazing dangerously. "You demand a second shot?" he rriedjndigjian.ty. "Are you not aware, air, that Captain Wayne fired in the air? It would be mJerr "Fired, In thejjjrp tfTaughed, as If it was a most excellent Joke. "Of course he did, but It was because my ball disconcerted his aim. I fired a second the first, but his derringer waa cojerlng me.'.' r Caton' strode toward him, his face white with passion. ' "Let him have it his way," I called after him, for now my own blood was up. "I shall not be guilty of such neg lect again." He did not heed me, perhaps be did not hear. "Major Brennan," he said, facing him, his voice trembling with feeling, "I tell you Captain Wayne purpose ly shot In the air. He Informed me before coming upon the field that he 1 should do so. 1 positively refuse to permlt him to face your fire again." Brennan's face blazed; chagrin, an ger, disappointment fairly infuriated him. and be seemed to loee all self ?8ntroT.

"Do-do you d-dare to in-sinuate, Ma jor Brennan," he began, "that I have " he paused, his mouth wide open, taring toward the shed. Involuntar ily we glanced in that direction also, wondering what he saw. There, In the open doorway, as in a frame, dressed almost entirely in white, her graceful figure and fair young face clearly defined against the dark back ground, stood Edith Brennan. CHAPTER XXXVI. ' The Last Good-by. She exhibited no outward sign of agitation as she left her position and lowly advanced toward us. Daintily lifting her skirts to keep them from contact with the weeds under foot, ber bead poised proudly, ber eyes a bit disdainful of It all, she paused be fore 'Caton. "Lieutenant," she questioned In clear tone which seemed to command an answer, "I have always found you an Impartial friend. Will you kindly Inform me as to the true meaning of all this?" -k-' v.;.; i He hesitated, hardly knowing what to reply, but ber Imperious eyea were upon Jiim they Insisted, and be stam mered Tamely? ;:.;' ;-"-" t "Two of the gentlemen, madam, were about to settle a slight disagree ment by means of the code." 1 "Were about!" h echoed, scornful of all deceit "Surely I beard shots aa I came through the orchard?" "One fife baa been exchanged," he reluctantly admitted. . "And Captain Wayne has been wounded?" , ' ; ;. ! I waa not aware nntll that moment that she bad even so much as noticed my presence. "Very slightly, madam." V "His opponent escaped uninjured?" Caton bowed, glanced uneasily to ward me, and then blurted forth Im pulsively: "Captain Wayne fired In the air, madam." "A most delightful situation, surely," f' i said c!i ar!y and f arcaatically.

I saw there two men battling shoulder to shoulder against a boat of Infuriated ruffians, seeking to protect helpless women. They wore different uniforms, they followed different flags, by th fortune of war they were enemies, yet they could fight and die In defense of the weak. I thanked God upon my kneea that I bad been privileged to know such men and could call them friends. No nobler, truer, manlier deed at arms waa ever done! Yet, mark you. no sooner is that duty over scarcely are their dead comrades burled when they forget every natural instinct of of gratitude, of true manliness, and spring at each other's throat like two maddened beast. I care not what the case may be the act is shameful, and an Insult to every woman of this household. Even as I came upon the field voices were clamoring for anoth er shot, in spite of the fact that one man stood already wounded. War may be excusable, but this Is not war. Gentlemen, you have fired your last shot on this field, unless you choose to make me your target" She stood there as a queen might and commanded an obedience no man among us durst refuse. Brennan's flushed face paled, and his lips trem bled as he sought to make excuse. "Edith," he protested, "you do not know, you do not understand. There are wrongs which can be righted in no other way." I do not care to know," she an swered coldly, "nor do I ever expect to learn that murder can right a wrong." "Murder! You use strong terms. The code has been recognized for cen turies as the last resort of gentle men." "The code! Has it, indeed? What gentlemen? Those of the south ex clusively of late. Tbat might possi bly pardon your opponent, but not you, for you know very well tbat In the north no man of any standing would ever venture to resort to it Moreover, even the code presupposes tbat men shall stand equal at Its bar I am In formed. Jhat Captain Wayne fired in the air," SSI esltated, feeling doubtless the uselessness of further protest, yet she permitted htm small opportunity for consideration. "Major," she said quiet ly but firmly, "I should be pleased to have you escort me to the house." These words, gently as they were spoken, still constituted a com mand. Her eyes were upon his face, and I doubt not he read within tbem tbat be would forfeit all ber respect if he failed to obey. Yet he yielded with exceeding poor grace. As it seems impossible to con tinue," be admitted bitterly, "I sup pose I may as well go." He turned and fronted me, his eyea glowing. But understand, sir, this is merely a cessation, not an ending. I bowed gravely, not daring to trust my voice in speech, lest I should yield to the temptation of my own temper. Captain Wayne," she said, glancing back across bis broad blue shoulder, and I thought there waa a new qual ity in ber voice, te sting had some way gone out of it, "I shall esteem a Igglnejs if yofl will call- upon . ebefore J'ou depart." :'.T "With pleasure," I fastened to re ply, my surprise at the request al most robbing me of speech, "but I shall be compelled to leave at once, aa my troop is already under or ders." I shall detain you for only a moment but after what you have passed through on our behalf I am unwilling you should depart without realizing our gratitude. You will find me In the library. Come, Frank, 1 am ready now." We remained motionless, watching them until tbey disappeared around the corner of the shed. Brennan walked with stern face, his step heavy, she with averted eyes, a alight smile ot triumph curling her lip. Then Moorehouse stooped and picked up the derringer the Major had thrown away. - By thunder, but she' right!" he exclaimed emphatically. "I tell you that' a mighty fine woman. Blame me. If she dldnt face us like a queen." . No one answered, and without ex changing another word we walked to gether to the bouse. There I found the remnant of my troop standing beside their horses, chaffing with a dozen idle Yankee cavalrymen who were lounging on the wide steps. The time had come when I must say a final farewell and depart Not the sUghteat excuse remained for fur ther delay. I dreaded the ordeal, but no escape waa possible, and. en tered the bgan Tor"what fwell knew Wai to be the last time. My mind waa gravely troubled; I knew not what to expect, bow far I might ven ture to hope. Why had she desired to see me again? Surely the public reason she offered .could not be the real one. Had she only been free, a maid whose hand remained her own to surrender aa ah pleased, I should never have hesitated, never have doubted her purpose; but now that could not be. As I knocked almost timidly at the closed library door a, gentle voice said, "Come," and I entered, my heart throbbing like a frightened girl's. She stood waiting me nearly In the center ot that spacious apartment dressed In the same light raiment the had worn without and her greeting was calm and friendly, yet tinged by a prond dignity, I cannot describe. I believed for sn instant that we were alone, and my blood raced through my veins in sudden expectancy; then my eyes fell upon Mrs. Minor com- f irta' 'y seated In an armchair be- ' - the fire, and I realized, that she - --.t ti rcntrala v. Iron f.-r- getfulness. But In very truth my lady hardly needed such protection her speech, ber manner, ber proud constraint told me. at once most plain ly tbat no existing tie between us had caused our .meeting. "Captain Wayne," she said softly, ber high color alone giving evidence of any memory of the past "I scarce ly thought tbat w should meet again. yet was not willing to part with you under any misunderstanding. I have learned from Lieutenant Caton the full particulars of your action In con nection with Major Brennan. I wish you to realise that I appreciate your efforts to escape a hostile meeting snd esteem. you most highly for your forbearance on the field. It was In deed a noble proof of true coursge. Msy I ask why did you fire in the air?" Had she not held me so away from her by her manner I should have then and there told her all the truth. As it was I durst not "I felt convinced that If my bullet reached Major Brennan It would In jure you. 1 preferred not to do that." "I believed it waa for my sake you made the sacrifice." She paused; then asked In yet lower tones: "Was my name mentioned during your conten tion I mean publicly?" 'It was not; Caton alone Is aware I refrained because of the reason I have already given you." "Your wound Is not serious?" "Too Insignificant to be worthy of mention." She was silent, her eyes upon the carpet, her bosom rising and falling with the emotion she sought in vain to suppress. "I thank you for coming to me," she said frankly. "I shall understand It all better, comprehend your motive better, for this brief talk. Whatever you may think of me in the future," and she held out ber hand with some thing of the old frankness in tbe ges- ' -Vt.t.Me Felt Convinced That If My Bullet Reached Major Brennan It Would ln . Jure You." ture, "do not bold me as ungrateful for a single kindness you have shown me. I have not fully understood you, Captain Wayne; Indeed, I doubt If I do even now, yet 1 am under great obligations which I hope some day to be able to requite, at least In part" "A thousand times they are already paid' I exclaimed, eagerly, forgetting for the moment the presence of ber silent chaperon. "You have given me that which Is more than life" "Do not. Captain Wayne," she In terrupted, her cheeks aflame. "I would rather forget Please do not; I did not aend to you for that only to tell you I knew and understood. We must part now. Will you say good-bye?" "It you bid me, yes, I will say good-bye," I answered, my own self control brought back Instantly by ber words and manner, "but I retain tbat which I do not mean to forget your fjacjpus words of Invitation to the North." vv-v'irv'.:y'" She stood with parted - lips, as though she struggled to force back that which ahould not be -uttered. Then she whispered swiftly: "It is not my wish that you should." Was there ever' such another para dox of a woman? I knew not how to read her aright for I scarce ever found her twice the same. Which represented the truth of her charac terher cool dignity, ber Impetuous pride, or that gentle tenderness which befitted her so wsll? Which was the armor, which the heart of t this fair lady ot the North? - ' , As we rode down th path to th eastward, a snowy handkerchief flut tered for an lnetsnt at the library window. I raised my bat In silent greeting, and ws were gone. t CHAPTER XXXV1L The FurPno ot the Ftsgs. J The dose of the long and bitter stroegl had come; to those who hurt cast their fortunes with the r.m'.h It seemed a! west as the et3 cf 11 mnv A ' the world. I had thought to write of those .last sad days, to plcturs them in all their contrasting light and shadow, but now I cannot There are thoughts too deep for humsn ut terance, memories too sacred for the pen. 1 rejoice tbat I was a part of it; that to the lowering of the last tattered battle-flag I remained con stant to tbe best traditions of my house. I cannot sit here now, beneath the protecting shadow- of a flag for which my son fougbt snd died, and write that I regret the ending, for years of pears have taught us of the South lessons no less valuable than did the war; yet do I rejoice today that, having once donned the gray, I wore It uutll the last shotted gun voiced lis grim message to the North. It Is hardly more then a dream now, sorretlmes vague and shadowy, again distinct wilh living figures and his toric tcenes. I require but to close my eyes to behold once more those slender liries of ragged, weary, hun gry men, to whom fighting had be come synonymous with life. I pas again through the fiery rain of those last fierce battles, when In despera tion we sought to check the un numbered blue legions that fairly crushed us beneath their weight I saw it all; I held a part in It all. Upon that April day which witnessed the turning of the last sad page In this tragedy, I stood without the Mc Lean bouse, ankle deep In the tram pled mud of the yard, surrounded by a group of Federal officers. Within was my commander, the old gray hero of Virginia, together with the great silent soldier of the North. Few about me spoke as we waited In restless agony.- No one addressed me, and I think there must have been a look in my face which held them dumb. I know not how long I waited, standing beside my horse, with head half bowed upon his neck, seeing the figures about me as in a dream. At last tbe -door was flung open, and those within came forth.' He waa in advance of tbem all. In tbat - pale, tern, kindly face, and within the depths of those sorrowful gray eyes, I read instantly tbe truth the Army of Northern Virginia was no more. Yet with what calm dignity did this defeated chieftain pass down that blue lane, bis head erect bis eyes undimmed as dauntless In that awful hour of surrender ns when be rode before bis cheering legions of fighting Why He Used Little Mstt Explained That the Two Pigs Hs Was Driving Got - His float. Matt Perkins, engine driver on tht New York Central, thought his little farm, out near PeekskllL wouldn't bs complete without pigs. So hs bought a couple and hsd them sent out much to the dismay of Willi, his oldest boy, who tearfully ' protested that the family would be disgraced U their acquaintances found they kept PiS. 'i ' - But tbe father kas obdurate, and assigned to Matt Jr, his six-year-old and youngest hopeful, the task of earing for the pig. This has proved hard task, and little Matt bas been having bis troubles during tbe bot weather. . One day the pigs, being pigs, roamed far afield. Mattie, rounding tbem up, drove them past tbe veranda, where his mother happened to be. Mattie was talking to thai pigs In no uncer tain terms, and It must be confessed h used a word which be really should not. Where be got, it no one ksows. The mother promptly called him to task, and Mattie, having penned In th pigs, returned! bot and red ct f,ce, to tbe verantf. ":.:attie," said bis mother, s? "I '.:.:! tare to p "1 yu. I i : I men. Only as be came to wbers I stood, and caught the look of suffer Ing upon my face, did be ones falter, and then I noted no more than the slight twitching of bis lips beneath tbe short gray beard. "Captain Wayne." ha said, with all his old-time courtesy, "I shall bavs to trouble you to ride to General Hills' division and request him to cesse firing at once." ' I turned reluctantly away from blm, knowing full well In my heart I waa bearing my last order, and rode at bard trot down the road between long lines of waiting Federal Infantry. scarcely so much as saw them, for my bead was bent low over tbe aaddle pommel, and my eyea were blurred with tears. The sun lay hot and golden over the dusty roads and fenceless fields. Tbe air was vocal with blare of trum pets and roll of drums, while every where the eye rested upon blue lines and long columns of marching troops. I formed one of little gray . squad moving slowly southward a mere fragment of tbe fighting men of the Confederacy, making their way home ward aa best tbey might As the roada forked I left tbem, for here our paths diverged, and -It chanced I was the only one whose bope lay west ward. - Silently, thoughtfully I trudged on for an hour through the thick red dust My horse, sorely wounded in our last skirmish, limped painfully be hind me, his bridle-rein flung care lessly over my arm. Out yonder, where tbe sun pointed the way with streams of fire, I was to take up life anew. Life! What was there left, to me in tnat word? A deserted, despoil ed farm alone awaited my coming; hardly a remembered iac?, scarcely a future bope. The glitter of a passing troop of cavalry drew my mind for an instant to Edith Brennan. but crushed the thought Even were she free, what had I now to place at her proud feet, I, a penniless, defeated, homeless man?

Wives for Tobacco. In tbe early settlement of Virginia, when the adventurers were principal ly unmarried men. It was . deemed necessary to export such women as could, be prevailed upon to quit Eng land, as wives for tbe planters. A letter accompanying one of these mat. rlmonial shipments, dated London, Au gust 12. 1621. says: "We send you In the ship one widow and eleven maids, as wives for the people of Virginia; , there bath been especial care had In the choice of them, for there bath not one of them been received but upon good recom mendations.

FOR VARIOUS MEATS. By Martha McCullooh Williams. Every manner of meat even tbe humblest, may be mads tender and palatable by meana of paper bag cook ing. If only the cook knows how and is willing to take tbe pains. Even tbe bumble pig's head and feet An ex treme example, you say! Try It and see if you Incline to gainsay further, scrape the outer skin very clean, cut off tbe ears and noas ot the head, scalding both bead and feet well and removing all removable Integument outaide and In. The brains, of course, will have been removed. Break off any sharp projecting bones from either head or feet, blanch tbem by pouring uviuug water upon mem, lasing out snd dropping In very cold water, then drain and season lightly with salt. Lay In a large well-greased paper bag with a stalk or two of celery If at hand and a single slice of onion. The pepper and berbs come In later. Add bait a pint to a pint of cold water, according to tbe hulk of the meat, seal bag tight lay on trivet, set In hot oven for five min utes, then reduce beat two-thirds and cook for five or six hours. Take up, empty into a bowl, and aa soon as it can possibly be handled, pick up, re moving all bones. The gristle will have dissolved. . Now add the season ingpepper, powdered herbs, especial ly sage, a bare dash. of tarragon vine gar, and a bare suspicion of garlic. If there is much liquid, add either sifted cornmeal or bread crumbs, both browned in the oven. Pack smooth In an earthen mould and let get cold. There will be headcheese worth eating. Nor Is stuffed pork tenderloin, which Is as full of relish as either goose or turkey, or even the lordly baron of roast beef to be disdained. Get large fat tenderloins, have tbem split, but tbe halvesleft together down the side, lay a good breadcrumb or mashed po tato stuffing, highly seasdned with butter or drippings, pepper, sage, and onion. In tbe split, skewer the edges together over the stuffing, and cook In a well greased bag with a very little water until well done. This Is special ly economical. In that there Is no bone to be thrown away. Either a fresh ham or shoulder. boned, stuffed and cooked In a paper bag, will furnish a mighty satisfying dinner meat Tbe oven ought to be very hot and stay so for seven to ten minutes, depending on the size ot the meat Then slack heat one-half and cook until thoroughly done. : . A square of. rib-pork, tbe skin cut in checkers, well seasoned and baked In a , nllla, vanilla and rose-water, or rose paper bag with apples or sweet po I water and almond, give to cake a tans; tatoes about It, will need no water. only a well greased bag. Sparerlbs can be paper bag baked if care Is used in handling them to see that the rib-ends do not go through the paper. Loin roast, cooked thus with either apples or potatoes, or white potatoes with a lice or two ot onion,. will make any hungry soul rejoice. Perfect capon Is none so plenty in the markets, but If to be had Is the best of all poultry. Get a big bird eight to nine pounds. Stuff, but not too tight, putting a handful In the crop-space. Truss extra firmly, fas tening thin slices of bacon over the breast and thighs underneath the trus sing strings. Grease all the rest of tbe body liberally with soft butter, put little butter under the bacon on tbe breast, then pop Into a loose-fitting well greased paper bag, lay on a trivet, set on broiler In bot oven, let cook till bag corners turn very brown, then slack beat half, or even a little more if the beat Is fierce, and cook for an hour and a half to an hour and three quarters. Choose your goose young and fat, even though you know the paper bag will make a tough bird tender. Singe, Sweets for By Nicolas Soy r, . Chef Belanets a la Portugalse; Wash well six ounces of Caroline rice, place it In clean stew pan, adding four ounces of powdered sugar, two ounces of but ter, half a stick of cinnamon and a strip of lemon peel or a very little grated rind of lemon. Allow the but ter to melt shaking tbs pan to avoid burning, then add pint ot milk. Cover closely and bring gently to the boll. Then draw the pan to the side of the fire and simmer slowly for rather more than a quarter of an bour, when the rice should have absorbed all the milk and be perfectly tender. Withdraw the pan from tbe fire and allow tbe mixture to cool a little. Then add tbe Felt Case Was Desperate Drlvsr's Advice to His Psssenger Probably the Best Thing Undsr : ths Circumstances. A colonel who happened to be in a great hurry to catch a boat at Dublin accosted a jarvey and offered blm 10s. if he coo Id drive blm to the North Wall in ten minutes. The jarvey said his horse was too old. It being an old war-borse. , At this the colonel said: IT ll is an old war-borse, why, I'll drive It my self." snd getUng Into .the driver's eat he waved tbe whip in toe air and roared "Charge!" The animal ran as bard as It could go, and when it arrived at the North Wall the colonel shouted "Halt!" The horse stopped, snd be caught the boat A few weeks later a minister hap pened to be catching the same -boat as the colonel, snd having only about ten minutes to do it In, he accosted the same jarvey, stating tbat If he could drive him to the North Wall e would give him 15s. The jarvey fill tbe goose, but not to full. Season with salt and pepper, . also a table spoonful of powdered sags and a tiny pinch of mixed herbs.

Paper bag cooking betters cakes as much as It does meat or pastry. Pleastt to keep this fact In mind. Also the tact that you should never try to make cakes at haphazard. Instead, take a day or several days off from bridge and shopping and give your whole mind to the matter In band. Decide first what cakes you care to make, then reckon up what you will need to make them of. - Many a good cake has been saddened past all remedy through waiting at the wrong minute for some essential ingredient over looked In the general buying. Never melt butter unless melted but ter Is specifically called for in your receipt. Set the butter crock outside the refrigerator for several hours be fore you need Its contents the kitchen temperature will make the but ter just right for creaming. Keep j eK8g cool they beat light the quicker for It Always add a tiny pinch of salt to the whites in beginning to froth them It makes tbe frothing easier and Improves the taste. Eggs, It Is needless to say, must be above suspicion. Sift flour and set it where It will get warm and dry without scorching, then sift It again before using it Measure it after the second sifting, and if baking powder or soda snd cream tartar are to be put In it add them to the measured bulk, and sift a third time. Cake must be beaten well, and thor oughly. If you want It Arm, yet light, and of fine, close texture. . Sweet milk helps to this line texture. - Sour milk or cream, contrary wise, tends to a coarse, bubbly grain. , , ' , : Prepare fruit over night, if possible. Two such flavors as lemon and va- as delicious as it la unusual. A spoon ful of brandy or even a good corn whiskey, beaten well through the cake just before the ' fiavorlng which should be put in the very last thing will make the cake lighter, better col ored, and of better keeping quality. Sift spices through part of the flour, adding the spiced flour ' alternately with what Is left plain. Always sift sugar, and more than once if It Is clammy. Warming It gently helps tr make light cake. It should be sifted afresh after the warming. As I have said,: paper bag cooking betters cake as much as It does meat . or pastry. It can be done In the bags, but I advise using in conjunction with the bags either paper souffle-cases or . very thin tin moulds, square, oblong, or round, or cases made from the bags -themselves.
