Hut by this time Nannie wag out of sight and hearing. It was al ways that way. This was Just like her ? going off half-cocked and losiug the end of her i mother's directions. Now the chickens would all escape while she was bringing in the eggs. Nannie was what "the neighbors called a "fly-away child." Then she grew up. She was pretty and she was pursued. Christopher pur sued her with slow and deliberate methods. Christopher always weighed the consequences before acting. The ground was solid, not onjy beneath Christopher's feet, but also several yards in advance of him. Indeed, he cut a poor figure beside young Dash wood, who would take a situation by storm, who won ? if he won at all ? by his ardor and sweeping ways. Dash wood posed and gestured before Nan nie with his hat on the side of his head and his air of "Take me or leave me and be quick about it ? you won't get a second chance." But, in spile ! of the fact that young Dashwood was v so gay and romantic, and Christopher unhurried and rather heavy, Nannie really liked Christopher better. Then, one day at the railroad sta tlon in town, she thought she saw Christopher's broad shoulders through the crowd ? Christopher and another girl. As she watched he bent and be stowed an unmistakable farewell kiss upon the lady clinging to him. Then Nannie, hot with mortification, board ed her suburban tr&Jn. Presently Dashwood Joined her. During their half-hour Journey Nannie brought mat ters to a head and reached home en gaged to be married. There on her own porch was Christopher, who had never been to town that day at all. When Nannie had been married for a year young f)ashwood left her. She had enough money to scrape along with ? but that was ail. One day she read the alluring advertisement of a mining investment. By purchasing shares at the, existing low price she might triple her income in a month. If she waited a day to get advice from her broker her opportunity would be gone. Nothing venture, nothing have. Nannie got together every bit of her HERE seems to be much difference ^ of opinion and uncertainty concern ing the surname Klssam. However, there Is no uncertainty concerning the fact that the family was founded in this country by one John Klssam, born In 1644, who made bis home in Flushing, L. I. It Is not known where he was borr. That Is, some authorl ? ties say that he was born In England, while others say he was a native of Amsterdam, Holland, and others have It that he was a Huguenot froiji Mont peller, France. It would be Interest ing for some member of the Klssam family to trace to Its source each one of these traditions. The fact that the KIssams were al wltys strong supporters of the English or Episcopal church certainly suggests that they were English rather than Hollanders, though there are some in stances of families of Dutch name having become demoted Episcopalians. Sometimes the fact that the head of the family married women of that church led to the future alliance of the family with that church. It te also recalled that the KIssams were strong Tories In the Revolution, our Last Rame IS IT KISSAM? ? f I capital she could lav hands on and bought mining stock heavily. Then, before long, her friends heard that >he was penniless, "firing without aim ing as usual," was the general verdict. But Christopher went to see her. La boriously and methodically he told her that he had always loved her. Nan nie's reaction was outraged anger. She would show Christopher that, even if she was destitute and a beggar, even if her husoand had deserted her, she would keep to the narrow path of vir tue. she wouldn't be Insulted by any one, she was still Pashwood's wife. So she interrupted him with old-time vehemence and Christopher went away for good. Too la^e she learned that, had she waited for the end of Chris topher's long proposal, she would have known that he came to tell her the news of Dashwood's sudden death And her own freedom. Her habit of pulling trigger before she took sight had lost her her last friend. HAVE YOU THIS HABIT?

The Klssams were from the first persons of prominence in Queens coun ty, Long Island, and intermarried with the Whitehead, Rutgers, Hewlett, Treadwell, Combs, Van Brunt, Vander b|JJ and other prominent families In and about New York city. Semple ? There Is no doubt that this Is derived from an earlier form of sur name, St. Paul. This sort of contrac tion of a saint's name was quite usual. Holland? At first sight you might suppose that the first to bear this name was a native of the Netherlands, but it is an English name derived from a small place In Lancashire called Holland. Maud ? This is clearly a matronymlc. That Is to say, It Is a surname derived from the mother rather than from the father. Lowe ? This Is usually a German Jewish name and, of course.

Francis LU ber. SUNDAY NIGHT SUPPERS THE evening meal on Sunday Is usually a light one. To the old fashioned folk, there is no dish that they like better than mush and milk. For those who enjoy the chafing ? dish or who are fortunate to have men In the family who like to dabble In meal getting, Sunday night Is a good time for their activities. Omelets, rarebits, with sandwiches and coffee, toast with various additions, are all good. Oysters stewed, fried or escal - lop*?d, are not beyond the ability of a Ntyro in cookery. A good piece of toast may be the basis for any number of good things. Creamed eggs, fish, oysters or creamed vegetables of some kind, as vegetable oysters. An easy way to prepare fried oysters is to dip them In milk, then in roiled cracker crumbs and fry them until plump. In butter. Serve with a relish of some kind, even the ordinary cabbage finely shredded and dressed with vinegar and salt, is most pals* ...< *,? table. If one wishes to be quite ele gant, serve the relish In halves of lemon, one for each plate. An onion sandwich Is very popular for a night lunch. Cut the mild onlom Into very thin slices, dip In a good highly seasoned French dressing and use between slices of thin buttered bread. With a glass of hot milk, or a cup of cocoa, the appetite Is satisfied. Onions are especially recommended to ward off disease, and in keeping the body ,in good health. A simple^ salad tha: even a child may be taught to serve Is lettuce with peanuts and a mayonnaise dressing. Use head lettuce, * sprinkle with chopped nuts, a very little minced onion and a generous portion of may onnaise. This with bread and Jbutter and a hot drink, is another good meal. Cottage cheese with minced pepper, chives and a bit of salad dressing Is a nourishing dish. Cold meats, flsh and fowl are alwayi popular to serve for a supper dish. Any may be used as sandwich filling which are In too small pieces to serve as cold meat. Rocks.

Co4 Here la a story that will start you chuckling:. Of couriie none of uh are superstitious and maybe that's the season we never walk unuer ladders and always shiver when we see IS! IK YOU chanced to reud the Journal of tliut date, you already know that on Friday, April 13, Mr. G. W. Purvis, dealer In hides, pelts, tallow and beeswax, left Pensacola hound for St. Louis. But sometimes there Is more to a casuul Journey to St. Louis than ap pears in the column devoted to "City Brevities and News of the Streets." Let us, therefore, violate the Inter state commerce commission ruling on that subject, and ride free and unob served with the well-known Pensa colu dealer in hides and pelts, tallow and beeswax. At Mobile there boarded the train one "Oriole Joe" Maxey. It would not be a bad guess to venture that "Oriole Joe" carried In his satchel an ordinary gold brick of commerce, whose core, were It pierced by a sus pecting gimlet, would have assayed heavily In lead. His purpose In getting on at Mobile was twofold ? to avoid the awakened attention of the police, and to sell one gold brick to the best commercial advantuge. ' "Oriole Joe" entered the car and sized' pp the occupants. He was quick to note the trusting eye and the re ceding chin of the Pensacoian. In the rtiird seat beyond, he also observed nnot-her promising-looking prospect With one, It was a question of chooa Ing between Purvis and the other pros pect, a farmer who bad just settled a mortgage on his home and was bead ing for New Orleans to buy an auto mobile. Drawing a coin from bis pocket, he designated Purvis, the pelt dealer, "talis," and the farmer who pined for rapid locomotion, "heads.* There waa a trifling spin of the disk. Maxey ob served the tosuit with a satisfied smile, and forthwith struck np an ac quaintance with the farmer. v Ensuing events have no Interest ex cept to a New Orleans automobile dealer, whose well-devised plan of follow-up letters failed to bring In a promising prospect Just when he seemed cinched. Miss Celeste Adair, very attractive, though overdressed, boarded the train of Mr. Purvis of Pensacola, at New Orleans, ticketed ostensibly for Mer idian. But she had something more- In view than a short smoky ride upon the cars. Briefly and bluntly, Miss Adair was low In funds. Life In New Or leans Is expensive, and the young woman, being a devotee of certain re fined palaces of chance, longed for the wherewithal to make an uphill climb against L'uck. Her object In taking* a trip at this time was to make the acquaintance of some married person of home-town respectability, from whom funds might be drawn by that inelegant but often effective proced ure of blackmail. Scarcely had the train left New Or leans when she observed Mr. Purvis. Here, In all Innocence, was game. He looked Just prosperous enough to stund for about a $250 monthly gouge for perhaps a year, before threshing It out over his own lares and penates, and then appealing to the police. Mr. PuMs, unconscious of the nnklnd scheme, scanned the quotations of the HMe and Pelt Dealer's Guide. Miss Adair made her survey more inclusive. The' car yielded, however, but one other prospect ? a professor, perhaps, in a small school, or pastor tending the spiritual grazing of a small-town flock. From either of the two men the adventuress felt that there might b qr an Income derived. Thrusting a dainty' finger between the pages of a book she carried, she agreed with herself that if the num ber under her hand proved to be an even numeral Mr. Purvis should by that edict be chosen to rehabilitate the lowering, funds of the young woman; If the numeral were odd, tfie dlstlnc-' tion would descend upon the dignified gentleman with the cleric^# costume. , At Meridian, a man with beetling brow and formidable chin boarded the train and hurriedly approached the sent where Miss Adair satj In mirthful conversation with her companlou. There were harsh words spoken low. Threats of divorce proceedings with corresponding publicity were effect lively voiced. Some agreement was reached, and Miss Adair accompanied tier beetle-browed confederate back to New Orleuns on the next train. The president of a little college for girls over near the Alabama line Is sending her $200 each month with which she la slowly recuperating her sunken losses. Meridian added a few passengers to the train list, among them jHaryej Collier, suavity itself. Drelssid i W lshly, manicured, polished ar d per fumed, he seemed out of pi^ce in tni dingy day coach. But it waa i |a flu** tion of business with him, and he lost no time In setting about pi" worlL Standing in the doorway ol tbe car, he sized up the field. Observing Mr Purvis of Pensacola, he smiled. He almost went forward to take :be va cant half of the seat, without further preliminaries. A second though, revealed another promised dividend. Across the car anc forward, sat a stout passenger, beginlle*l by a, heavy gold watch chain. Collier had a proposition in which he felt either might be interested. But complications- might arise if be at" tempted to interview them b Collier, being weak on mu quiring instant decision, left lem to Chance, Ingeniously. next station- bore a name of one^sy - lable, he proposed to interest Mr. Pur vis in his scheme, if of two syllables or more, the stout gentleman .with the auriferous girdle was to I be ap proached. The next station was Bar tholomew, and two hours later Har vey Collier left the train at an ob scure town in northern Mtyjslsslpp , and the begirdled stout man deed, reciting a consideration of cash in hand, paid for certain Icity lots In the town of Subaqua, located, hap he but known, twenty miles oi>t in the Gulf of Mexico. Without furthef Incident, earl^ morning brought the train to St. Louis. At five o'clock a. m. in outlying streets little traffic stirs In SI. Loula^ But at a darkened corner two men stood In the shadow and observed whatsoever might be moving. ? They saw the approaching Mr. Purvis and noted with satisfaction that lie wore a diamond stud. The shadowed shadows decided upon, seizure and forfeiture. A mlnutef or so, and the prize was almosl within grasp; being merely a question of a quick blow in the back of tho man's head, a hasty pinch at the shir: boson^ and a speedy getaway. Closer came the prey. Suddenly "Lop-Eared" Hunt whispered: "Nuttln' doin' tonight, bo! t*ve lost the rabbit's foot out of me pocjket I" Which goes far In explaining why Mr. Purvis, In perfect good health and humor, much refreshed by hi* walk from the station, came Into th<t Conti nental hotel. The Continental had but two empty rooms for the price at which Mr. Purvis desired to be housed. They were numbered; lf? you chance to be Interested In such trifling stiittstlcs, 1328 and 13 J3. Given but two ctiances, with the necessity Of making a Choice, the clerk became vacillation personi fied. He seemed unable to I select. First his hand stretched for the key to room 1313, and back 'again to No. 1323. > At that moment bell boy Ifo. 13, seeking Instructions relative to Ice water desired, urgently, by a bibulous reservoir In No. 417, came wlthlii view of the hesitant clerk. He saw the boy's badge with Its emblazoned "13** and considered the matter settlejd pro pitiously, handed key No. 1313 Jto the menial who had charge of th4 new guesfl solitary suitcase? shabby se curity fo? a much-desired ransoib. "Please call me at eight o'clock in the morning," the Pensacolan admon ished as be vanished toward thje ele vator. ?+ At eight o'clock, a dutlfui servant rapped lightly on the door of jRoom 1313. No response came, and the rap ping Increased In rapidity and vigor. Still no response. There came through the tran wispy odor of fugitive gas. )m i Ickly live), and apprehensive (gas being expei the boy summoned his superior the door was unlocked with a key sent up from the desk. There was an un deniable presence of gas. It wasn't even necessary to light a mat A tc find the point of escape, for a low bluing from a pipe In the corner of the *oom gave a quick clew to the break. After pausing to shut off the supply at the point of intake, the hotel sen ants gave attention to the unconsciou; fig ure on the bed. Life existed in the crumpled heap of humanity, but at a low ebb. Physicians were summoned, restoratives were placed in opera tion, and very slowly the gentleman was brought back from the hem of the hereafter. A reporter, Inquisitive as his clan must ever be. sought, in addition to Information gleaned from the h?tql register, to learn more thoroughly! the subject matter for his firct yarnl of the day. With no pang of Impropri ety he searched the clothing of pthe man who was being resuscitated. In an upper vest pocket, the ' reporter found a card which shall be read In your presence and the reading shall end the tale. The card proclaimed the uncion sclous man to be: G. 'W.

How much 't would^^ to^h. glory of the homes ir m c . m?\pon *hom .on;. ^?udden good fortune had falle appetizing foods During winter oranges and othei Htrus fruits ore - -sonable Jn abundant. Tbeii delicious flavor stimulates and re freshes the appe tite and their color adds to any dish or table. For the first course an orange cup. filled with diced on?*' a bit ol grapefruit, seeded and. peeled g and rlnd-flavored sugar sirup. Is es peciaily well liked. Although, the orange Is dejicate y acid, it has an alkaline reaction which makes it especially valuable in coun teracting foods that produce acids. As a dessert, oranges make an ex cellent sweet course, containing suga which is partially digested. After an elaborate and heavy dinner a light, easily digested dessert Is a necessity. Orange Mint Cup.? Take one cup ful each of diced grapefruit pulp, orange pulp and pineapple. Mix., and sprinkle with a little sugar and lemon jUiCe_or better a lemon sirup, mad. by cooking sugar, lemon Juice and rind with a little water. Chill and halves of oranges, set into sherbet cups, or simply fill the glasses with the fruit mixture. At the last momen sprinkle with finely minced mint and garnish with a sprig of fresh mint In the center of the glass. Orange Meringues. ? Separate Into sections four oranges, without break ing fte membrane. Make** a sirup of one-half cupful eaeh of lemon Juice, water and any canned fruit Juice, bo lng five minutes. Add the oranges, cover and cool. This is compote and may be served Just as it is. Place these sirup-covered orange sections on rounds of sponge cake, moisten with a little of the sirup. Prepare a nfieringue, using two egg whites, two tablespoon fuls of powdered sugar and a table spoonful of the compote sirup. Cover the oranges and set in a moderate oven to brown. Serve cold with some of the compote as a garnish. Orange Ice Cream. ? Cook two cup fuls of water with one cupful of sugar, cool and add one cupful of orange Juice, a pint of thin cream, a pinch of salt. Freeze as usual. Winter Fruits. The orange is especially prized dur ing the winter months, when it is at its best and most plentiful and good fla vored. The winter diet, being rich and heavy, needs such fruit to keep the body in good condition. All citrus fruits contain fruit salts and acids which are most beneficial to health. A pint of orange Juice contains al most the same number of food units as three-quarters of a pint of milk. Orange Juice is quickly assimilated and because of Its action on the bowels, is one of the finest digestive regulators. Its beautiful color makes the orange ?particularly enjoyed in winter, when color in foods is most appreciated. As a garnish the orange has wide possibilities. Baskets, cups, flowers, confections, may be prepared, the rind preserved and served as a confection, or as receptacles for salads or Jellies. A sherbet Is easily prepared using citrus , fruit, orange or lemon Juice, sugar sirup and water, or If a richer sherbet is desired, thin cream or rich milk In place of the water. Serve in orange cups with roast meats or fowl. Candles of various kinds flavored with these fruit Juices are both wholesome and delicious. Plain fondant, flavored with lemon or orange Juice and made into patties like the wintergreen or peppermints are well liked. \ Turkish delight prepared with gela tin, sugar sirup and fruit Juices, cooled In a flat dish and cut into oblongs, then rolled in powdered sugar is an other very popular confecttyn. Glaced fruits are particularly well j liked during the cold weather. Orange Bectlons, kumquats, tangerines and lemon quarters are very attractive. These should be eaten the same day made, as they soften in the air quickly. To prepare the sirup for glaced fruits tale two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of boiling water, one-third of a teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Boll until the sirup begins to color light brown, or to 810 degrees F., then dip each piece quickly, keeping the sirup over het water. Wellesley Fudge. ? Cook three squares of chocolate, one-halt cupful of milk and two-thirds of^ a cupful of brown sugar for ten minutes; add one teaspoonful of vanilla. Cream one cupful of light brown sugar and one half cupful of butter. Add one-half cupful of sour milk, two well-beaten eggs and two cupfuls of sifted pastry flour, one teaspoonful of soda and one fourth of a teaspoonful of salt . To this add the abov?? cooked mixture.
