I broke up. Some rolled upon the ground rubbing themselves, still howl ing ; others Jled, screaming, toward the south. A few, braver, tried again to reach the goal ; nnd again retreated, half petrified with fear of the un natural. Croft waited until but a few strag glers remained near the hut. "Now," he cried, "we must show ourselves, and complete the Illusion!" "Oh !" remonstrated Barbara, "is that necessary?" "\es; if it's to be a success." Seizing her arm, he dragged upon the door, and whirled her round to the landward end. Those natives who remained uttered loud, fearful shouts, at sight of the two white figures; falling upon their faces, they stretched out arms of sup plication, gabbling what ? seemed to Barbara unintelligible nonsense. Those tleeing turned, halted, then likewise fell upon their faces, terrified at these apparitions in the starlight. For a moment the girl thought her companion had lost his senses. Loos ing her arm, he sprang forward with a ! bound, his arms wildly waving. Ap pearing unnaturally tall, his white slilrt and bandaged head increasing the su pernatural effect in eyes used only to a dark naked skin, he went through a pantomime of weird gestures. Now and then this was interspersed with extraordinary utterances snarled from between gleaming teeth and cruel, drawn-back lips. The wild awful fury, seeming to emanate from every pore, terrified her: he looked every Inch a savage himself. His weird babble bore strong resemblance to that of her pur suer. Apparently the prostrate natives understood at least part of the dis course; for occasionally eager hands were raised in supplication, accom panied by cries or moaning re plies. . . . Suddenly, as if at some command, the groveling wretches scrambled to their feet. With another torrent of wild words, he wheeled round, and. to her amazement, threw his arms around her. pressing her close. . . . What seemed. In the excitement of the mo ment. like a cloud of smoke, together with a sharp explosion, momentarily dazed her senses. . . . She felt herself lifted bodily, whirled i>ack again round the hut and In at the entrance; while, r from without arose a fresh confusion of howling cries, wlth^the tread of running feet, as the warriors, terrified by the magni fied effects of the revolver shot In the dusk, dashed for their lives away up the slope. . . . Once inside, he leaned back against the bamboo, still holding her close, his breath coming first, every nerve tin gling. primitive man among primitive men. after the savage state into which he had worked himself. "Well done!" he panted, laughing wildly. 'The revolver ? Just then ? was an Inspiration! Vanishing In a puff of smoke finished the trick !" Barbara gasped, too much aston ished to realize that she was still clasped In his arms, having forgotten the existence of the revolver during the last scene. It hung from her hand, still smoking a little from Its acci dental discharge. MW-what ? were ? you doing?" she stammered. Again he laughed wildly. "Telling them we were sent here hy their gods, and should blast the Island Into a thou sand hits If they showed us hostility! You saw the effect ?" "I did. Indeed !" Realizing their po sition. she tried to free herself, but his arms tightened. ."Among natives," he continued, ex citedly, "a wife Lb tabu to her hus band. To ? to make you doubly safe, I told them you were my ? my wife." "Your ? " Words failed her. More vehemently she struggled, suddenly afraid of him. of his savage grip, and of the eyes which glittered strangely In the semi-darkness. But ordinary shackles of restraint had. fallen from Croft for the moment. Since those wonderful hours of the night before, the girl had assumed a new prominence In his mind. He had become acutely aware of her, as he had never yet been aware of any woman. It was all strange, bewildering. Life or death, man and woman, savage, primitive passions pitted against sav age, primitive passions. . . . No drawing room code of morals or man ners was guiding their destinies out here i He laughed again, pressing her fiercely up against his chest. "So ? while we are here, you are mine! Don't forget. You may belong to another in England ; but here, you ? you are mine!" His tone was exultant, and he bent lier backward so that her face was up turned. unprotected beneath his own. His breath ?ame hot and fast above her lips. Some primeval, caged beast Instinct seized her, too, sweeping away fear. Raising her free hand, she dealt him, with sudden passion of rage, a blow in the face while struggling violently in his grasp. His arms loosed her so abruptly that she nearly fell. For a moment he stood before her, his hands groping at his head, looking dazed, or as if awak ening after some vivid dream. She confronted him with the fury of a little wildcat. "You are mad! Mad! I ? oh? I hate your Covering her face with both hands,, she strove to subdue the extraordinary tumult within her . . . then looked up at' the sound of the door being hastily shut with a crash of bamboo canes. With a' gasp of relief, she realized that she was alone. ? After the natives' attack, a new phase began between the pair. Para doxical though it may sound, the hours which brought them so near to * J A ?mlf between tham, hours which brougnt lueiu w ~ gether widened the gulf between them. .Ik - ii-Li- . ,ii It- ; ? ' Had that eventful night ended with ^Lhe accidental discharge of the re volver, their dally life might have con tinued more or less placidly, like the waters of some river, with but an oc casional rock obstructing its even course. But Croft's amazing lack of self-control had been like a huge stone hurled vlolentlj' into the center of the river, causing ever-widening circles to extend. Intensified a hundredfold, all the fears of her first afternoon upon the Island rushed riotously back. She became conscious of- him as she had never been before: not only of the force of his will, but of the strength of the passions lying dormant under a cold exterior. Nothing more had been said concern ing the episode. . Half expecting some kind of apology, she had decided, next morning, to accept It frigidly, drawing close the cloak of her own reserve and dignity. Hut the apology never came. He did not appear at all until nearly midday, when he arrived with arms full of fresh fruit. Then it was he who seemed encased in a mantle of such icy reserve that her own attempts dwindled to mere foolishness. She took refuge in silence. A stone wall and ten miles of land might have divided them. He spent the afternoon fetching things over from the reef, leaving her severely alone. . This position endured for some days. He seemed to keep away as much as possible, and her loneliness became at times Intolerable. But 'she learned many practical things. Hie taught her to create fire by friction with wood; to bake breadfruit ? that substitute for a cereal in the South seas? In hot em bers, then scoop out the Interior; or preserve It by drying thin slices In the sun. She soon acquired primitive ways of preparing, with a campfire and a few old native vessels, the strange fish, birds and the fruits he brought. . Then, one day. he crime striding down the slope, after being absent for hours, looking strangely haggard round i \V\v ? ? . Seized the Coconut and Hurled It Down the Beach. the eyes. With disconcerting sudden ness, In characteristic, brief sentences, he demanded, more than suggested, friendship between them. "We can't go on . . . this life's unbearable " His voice was unusually curt, the sentences were dis jointed, his nerves evidently worn thin. She was taken unawares, at a mo ment of deep depression, when every thing seemed very dark. Not pausing to reflect on the possibility of similar suffering having impelled this request from one unaccustomed to beg, she shrank back, her fears and suspicions crowding in. "I'm afraid I can't trust your ? friendship. I can't forget ? " He looked at her queerly, with eyes that flashed In sudden anger. "D ? n it all ! That was an excep tional night. Can't you understand?" But years of Puritan surroundings are not wiped out in less than a week. "I'm afraid not. I?" "Then you must lump It!" He turned away with an expressive shrug, and disappeared up the hill. That was the only overture he ever made; and the strain between them increased. , Barbara welcomed anything which made work to absorb her thoughts. For the terrible feeling of Impotence, the sheer homesickness, the loneliness, were ever below the surface, ready, all together or Individually, to spring upon her at any moment. A day arrived on which the onsets came "not singly but in battalions.". She had been alone for hours. When Croft arrived, her spirits were below zero, her nerves frayed, her temper was not of the best. He glanced at her shrewdly, but appeared to notice noth ing. Coming to the hut. he dropped a large coconut Into her lap, where she sat outside the door. 'There you are, my child! Get busy I" he remarked casually. Uncontrollable irritation, the result of solitary fretting, welled up within her. Impulsively she seized the coco nut and hurled it down the beach. "Don't call me that ! I'm not your 'child' ? nor anything to do with you." There was a moment's silence; then he gave a little laugh. "No, indeed ! Let's thank the good Lord for that, at all events." She looked up, dumfounded; but he had turned away into the hut. So that was the position? Her dis like was returned in full? A sharp stab of hurt pride and desolation caused sudden tears to rise and roll down her cheek9. She scrambled to her feet and, out of sight among the brushwood, lay down and sobbed out her heart. Croft got his own supper that night. He made no comment on her swollen eyes and lack of appetite. But when she took the large shells used for plates to wash In the lagoon, he rose, Impulsively, to follow her. After a few steps, however, he paused uncer tainly. With a little helpless shrug, he returned to the hut. Each day he spent much time upon the reef, salving all that was possible of the machine, until what remained was swept away one night by the tide. A dozen times a .day, one or both climbed the hill and vainly searched the horizon? gathering, with dwindling hopes, more fuel to heap upon the growing pile which some day might flare Into a beacon to attract a passing vessel. The natives a^eldom ventured far from their settlement. Whenever Croft encountered one, the frightened wretch took to his heels. Only once did he meet one with sufficient courage to reply to the white man's questions. But, at the first allusion to ships and other white men, his fortitude gave completely away; with a walling cry of fear, he turned and vanished among the trees, leaving Croft no wiser. . . . Barbara was haunted by thoughts of Hugh's suffering. To be alive, In splendid health, yet unable to Inform those mourning her death, could be equaled only by a like Impotence upon the other side of the grave to allay the sufferings of those beloved upon earth. After a lifetime, too, of inseparable companionship, tlils new existence, In which Hugh had no part, seemed strangely Incomplete. Yet, paradox ically again, his presence was not needed here : he would have seemed as much out of place as the proverbial fish out of water. Croft, on the other hand, appeared dally more suited to his environment, fitting in as If it were Indeed his "natural sphere." Gradually, as the past grew fainter, her confidence re turned. His apparent disinclination for her company, though reassuring In one way, piqued her in another. So she withdrew into her own shell; and the Invisible wall grew higher between them, only occasional chinks appear 1 lng, or thin places through which they came a little nearer. At these times the girl regretted her refusal of his one friendly overture. . . . It was one evening, two or threo weeks after the natives' attack, that the largest chink In the wall appeared. The day had been unusually hot; and she strolled listlessly up to the river to bathe. With bare sunburned feet, and the revolver? without frhlch she seldom stirred? stuck in her belt, she passed through the grove, through the tall dark avenues beyond, to the clearing by the water's edge. There she halted, amazed. Face downward lay Croft, his dark head burled in his arms; beside him , were one or two branches of bananas ; a couple of breadfruit had rolled, un noticed, a few yards away. Barbara !? shocked by Croft's display of passion. Yet she is piqued by his show of indiffer ence. What next? (TO BE CONTINUED.) "To Walk Spanish " To make a person "walk Spanish" Is to make him come up to time, or to make him act under compulsion. It re fers to the old sport' among boys in I which one boy seizes another by the collar and the seat of the trousers and forces him along on tiptoe. Hence, by extension, it means to walk ginger ly. Apparently the expression origi nally referred to the manner In which the Spanish pirates used to handle their prisoners while starting them oat on the plank. ? Exchange. Mirage Produced by Passage of Light Rays The mirage is an optical Illusion In which linages of distant objects are seen as if Inverted or raised in the air, says the Detroit News. This phe nomenon ? as first explained by a Frenchman who went with Napoleon on his first expedition in Kgypt, where mirages are very common. . The phenomenon is due to the rays of light being changed in their direc tion when passing through colder or hotter strata of air. Layers of air in contact with the surface of deserts be come greatly expanded and rarefied, while those immediately above remain denser, thus causing the light rays to be bent upward. However, over water the condition is just the reverse. The layers above are warmer than those next to the water. When an object ap pears to be lifted above Its real posi tion ip the phenomenon It Is called looming. In the case of looming the reflection is from the airy while In or i i ? ' , "i dinary mirage It Is from the earth. Mlrage3 are common in Egypt, Persia, Turkestan, California, Nevada and Alaska. Cleveland on the Cow Grover Cleveland's composition on the cow, written when he was a small hoy In school, follows: "The cow is very useful If It were not for the cow we could not have no milk to put in our coffee and tea. "Every part of the cow is useful; the skin is tanned into leather and boots are made of it. The flesh is good for food and is called beef; their" horns are made into buttons. Of milk butter and cheese Is made. There Is a glutinous substance by the hoof which is made into glue ? indeed if It were not for the cow, we should have to dc without many things which are con sidered necessaries of life."?

Favored for Delicious- Confections. i; -TTi ?- u-ui (Prepared by the United States Department ? fc of Agriculture.) The fruit cake recipes given below have been tested by the office of home economies of the United States De partment of Agriculture. The first one may be cooked In several ways?in the oven, in an ordinary household steam er, in the tireless cooker, Or the steam pressure cooker. Rich fruit cake is always more satisfactory when done if the cooking is accomplished portly by steaming. There is very little 'dif ference bet\feey a fruit cake of this typq and n "plnm pudding," . and the housewife who wishes to do so may reheat pnrt of her fruit cake by steam ing nnd serve it as plum pudding. Spiced Fruit Cake. 1 pound butter 3 pounds currants 1 pound light 2 pounds raisins, brown sugar seeded and fine 9 eggs ly chopped t pound flour % pound almonds, 2 teaspoonfu Is blanched and mace shredded 2 teaspoonfuls 1 pound citron, cinnamon thinly sliced and 1 teaspoon-ful soda cut in strips 2 tablespoonfuls milk Cream the butter, add sugar gradu ally nnd beat - thoroughly. Separnte yolks from whites of eggs; beat yolks until thick and lemon-colored, whites until stiff and dry, and add to first mixture. Then add milk, fruits, nuts and flour mixed and sifted with mace, cinnamon and soda. Put in buttered deep pans, cover with buttered paper, steam three hours and bake one and one-half hours in a slow oven ; or hake four hours in a very slow oven with A Fruit Cake for Christmas. nut steaming. One and one-third pounds of dates and one-sixth pound of candied grapefruit peel used Instead of raisins makes a very good cake. Rich Honey Fruit Cake. 1 pound citron 1 pound candied cherries 3 cupfuls flour 2 teaspoonfuls soda 3 V4 cupfuls honey 1 cupful butter 6 eirsrs 2 teaspoonfuls cinnamon 2 teaspoonfuls ginger 3 teaspoonfuls ground carda mom seed V4 tea spoonful cloves 3 pounds raisins (seeded) 1V6 pounds cur rants < Cut the candied fruit into small pieces, with the exception of the cher ries, which should be left whole. Place the fruit In a large dish and sift over it one-half of the flour, mixing thor oughly. Sift the soda with the re 1 pound candied apricots 1 pound candied pineapple % cupful sour Jelly, or % cupful white grapejuice X teaspoonfuls vanilla 2 ounces candied orange peel 2 ounces candled lemon peel uiainder of the riour. firing bone} and the butter to boiling point and while stDJ hot add the spices. When the mixture Is cool, add the well beaten yolks of the eggs, then the flour and grape juice or jelly and the ^-ell beaten whites. Finally, add the Ijruit. The cajse should be divided into three or four parts and put into buttered dishes covered with buttered paper tied closely over the tops. Steanl for five hours, remove the paper, and pake ;in a very slow oven for an hour. This makes a very rich cake consisting chiefly of fruit. For the sake of econ omy the flour can be Increased to even ftwice the quantity without affecting the quality very much. 1 Plain Honey Fruit Cake. 4 cupfuls floor % teaspoonful 3 te&apoonfula cloves soda . 3 pounds raisins 2 cupfuls honey (seeded) A -cupful butter 4 ounces citron 0 eggs / 1 pound cranber 2 teaspoonfuls ries t* cinnamon 1 pound canned 2 teaspoonfuls pineapples i ginger 1 pound dried teaspoonfuls apricots ground carda- 1 pound dri?|d ap mom seed 1 - pl;s To prepare the cranberries, pineap ples, apricots and apples, cook each In Honey till it Is soft; remove from the honey and dry in a very slow oven. A little water should be added to the honey in which the cranberries are cooked, a good proportion of Ingredi ents being equal weights of cranber ries, water and honey. To pny honey left over from cooking the fruits add enough honey to make up the total amount called for by the recipe. Mix and cook the cake in the same manner as the other honey cake. CRANBERRIES USED IN DIFFERENT WAYS Excellent Dish When Served in a Baking Dish. (Prepared by the United Statea Department of Agriculture.) In addition to being spread on shortcake, cranberry sauce can be com bined with biscuit dough in several ways. Served in a baking dish, cov ered with a biscuit top, It becohies "cranberry cobbler" ; spread on a square of biscuit dough such as one makes for Dutch applecake, and then baked, It makes a cranberry cake which many people would prefer to a tart or other pastry. Cranberry pie may be made of cran berry sauce or cranberries either with or without raisins. When equal parts of raisins and cranberries are used it is often called "mock cherry" pie. Cranberry pies are usually made with out a top crust, although a lattice of pastry strips may be used, or a meringue may be spread over the top and delicately browned. In a varia tion, of "mock cherry" pie recommend ed by the United States Department of Agriculture, chopped, pitted, cooked prunes are substituted for raisins. Cranberries may be Introduced In many dishes where cherries would be used in the spring. A hot steamed pudding made by a biscuit dough recipe is excellent If one cupful of cranber ries Is stirred In for each pint of flour. Cranberries may be used In richer steamed puddings with more eggs and other Ingredients; they may be put into baked or boiled bread puddings, "cabinet" or stale cake pudding, or plain batter pudding. Most of these desserts require a sauce of some sort. A soft "hard" sauce Is excellent with any of them or a liquid sauce, such as foamy or lemon sauce, thickened with egg and cornstarch, or cranberry sfcuce Itself. Cranberry souffle can be made If It Is not necessary to econ omize on eggs. Steamed brown bread may have cranberries In It TENDERNESS OF ' DIFFERENT CUTS OF PORK Cutting Up a Pig on the Farm. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Agriculture.) t The following suggestions made by the United States Department of Ag riculture may be of help both to those who buy their pork at the market and to the farmers who may be glad to secure greater variety in the use of their home product. There is no marked difference In the tenderness of the different cuts of pork, but the meat from the fore quarter is somewhat coarser grained than that of the loin and hams, and the proportion of fat to lean is greater. Shoul ders well trimmed and smoked are satisfactory to use in place of ham. If of fered at a price low enough to offset the larger amount of bone which they contain. The thick end of the shoulder is known as the Boston butt. Shoul ders are sometimes boned, rolled and smoked. Since there Is practically no waste to this cut, the real cost can readily be estimated. Smoked hams and shoulders are commonly boiled, but both are excellent when baked, fried or broiled. To bake a smoked ham or shoulder, wash it well, cover with cold water and simmer for about three hours for medium-sized ham, about 15 minutes per pound when followed by' baking. Allow it to cool in the broth or remove at once, trim off the brown crust and remove the skin. Smear the surface well with brown sugar, stick it liberally with cloves, using perhaps one to each square inch. Bake for two hours in a covered roaster. Remove cover and brown the fat side well. Serve either hot or cold. ^ It************************# HOUSEHOLD HINTS V .lfc.lt.VL y.,Vi ?..V Y VV V V V. ?
