I FULL OF
SPICE AND
PEPPER
By MARTHA WILLIAMS
(•. 1114. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
“I declare, Nancy, your disposition
is a fair match for this marble cake,”
Aunt Sora complained, bolding up a
richly mottled slice fairly oozing
sweetness and fragrance. “Some parts
of it all white and light, yet tasty as
can be, and otber parts just full of
spice and pepper and things —and
black as wickedness. Maybe that’s
why you make It so much betttr’n any
body else —”
“Mighty glad if that is so,” Nancy
interrupted with a faint toss of the
head. "But I caln't see it that way.
My cake is best because I specialize
on it and never put in anything that
ain't just aa right as rain. So I have
the face, as you call it, to ask pirate
prices for it —and get ’em —which is
the best part of it. Five dollars a loaf
with fancy icing. Lordy! if only there
were enough flve-dollar folks In this
town, or round about It, I'd roll in
wealth by time I’m forty.”
“What you need is a press agent,”
Tom Ledly called from the door where
he stood facing them, both hands
clutching the casing above his head.
“Not only for tbe cake, which is more
than heavenly, but for all the rest of
your cookings. Never was there such
food. Look at me—almost human now,
yet a living skeleton when I came to
you a week back. Pity you didn’t
snap me then—companion pictures,
‘Before Feeding,’ and ‘After a Fort
night’—would put you right at the top
of everything.”
Aunt Sora heard him, her eyes wist
ful and eager, but Nancy sniffed scorn
of him, saying over her shoulder:
“Not in this land of cooks. Ido just
one thing best, fifty other girls do
fifty other things Just the same way.
Trouble Is, nobody can possibly do
everything best, and that’s the sort of
person the world sighs for, and some
times pays for, on the chance that it
has got it.”
“Stick to marble cake, Nancy, and
let social philosophy go hang!” Judge
Peters admonished, leaning through
the window upon the back piazza. A
family friend, so free of the house,
nobody ever noted where he sat, or
what he might overhear. Being
Nancy’s guardian, eke courtesy-uncle,
he was privileged to say things other
wise impertinent. Now he ran on:
“You don’t sense the root of the mat
ter; it is pepper. Just that. A grain
too much, a dust too little, the whole
baking has gone bloole. Somehow you
hit the Irishman’s middle extreme and
there you are. It’s beyond a knack, a
gift inborn. You can’t tell it, nor teach
it. I doubt if you can pass It on to
any of your seven daughters, so re
joice In it, and take your profit with
a good conscience.”
*‘H-m-ni! Os course you want pay
for legal advice!” Nancy flung at him,
pretending to frown.
“Os course!” said the judge, with a
longing look at the biggest load. “A
thick slice right out of the middle,
please. I do love marble cake hot
from the oven.”
“Liar!” said Nancy calmly. “You
never loved anything or anybody but
yourself. That’s how come you are so
fat and lubberly.”
“If you truly want to hug me,” the
Judge ejaculated between mouthfuls
“I give you leave to do it piecemeal—
make a chalk mark at the and of
arm’s reach, then begin aver an the
other side.”
“I don’t pine to hug lard barrels,”
Nancy retorted.
"I see! You like ’em the
Judge chuckled, with a meaning glance
at poor Ledly, who flushed a brick-red.
A half-minute the judge stood rumi
nant, then said briskly: “Wrap Tip the
rest of my cake, Nancy; time I was
toddlin’ home. Say,” to Ledly, “if
good deecV are in your line, you come
along. Nothin’ in the world is so lone
some aa a bachelor’s house on a rainy
Sunday—and unless my rheumatism is
off its reckoning, tomorrow it will rain
cats and dogs."
“What’a the matter with your stay
ing all night here? We’ve just killed
a ahoat, so we can feed yon— all you'd
eat —and you can sleep In the special
bed made for poor granny when she
got so fat she broke down ordinary
ones,” Nancy contended. Aunt Sora
gasped. It was beyond her tbe way
that audacious child said things to her
elders. But the judge chuckled hard,
then made his courtliest bow with,
“Carjled unanimously! However hap
pened you think of anything so nice?”
.“Oh, I couldn’t let you talk Tommy
to death —he’s our half-cousin, you
know —and a funeral would be an Im
pertinence, with the fair opening Tues
day. You’ve got his pedigree pat—
time you had told him who-all he was
kin to, how many great-grandaunts
and grandfathers and grandmothers
he had, and who bad married who, and
how all the children turned out. He
would have wanted to roll over and
die, even if he didn’t make the riffle—”
“Hm! Ia your interest in him cou
sinly or proprietory?” the Judge asked,
with another bow.
Nancy’s answer was an apple, flung
so straight It took him full between
the eyes. The Judge turned to Ledly,
saying slowly: “We’ve just time for
a long smoke before supper. Come out
with me to the big maple. Ido want
to talk to you about several things.”
Momentous things they must have
been —since after the telling, which
did not take so very long, the two men
sat, silent, staring hard at each other,
the elder one’s fingers shifting aerv
ously their clasp on the head of his
stout stick, the younger drawing long
uneven breaths that seemed to hurt
like knife thrusts. Yet the judge had
said only: “Let's settle this —settle
it right. We love the same girl—you
because of your youth—which cannot
possibly withstand her; I because she
Is her mother’s daughter, the girl I
loved and lost, when I also had youth.
She half-loves us both —me from use
and wont—l have been, all through
her growing up, a mixture of play
mate and fairy godfather—you be
cause you are weak and wasted, In
need of cherishing, desperately in
need es the strength she can give you.
As yet she does not know it—let her
find it out, and she’ll marry you. In
spite of everything. Are you man
enough to leave her before she does
find It out? Leave her to me? I’ll
make it worth your while.”
No answer—only a swift hardening,
almost graying of Ledly’e face. The
allpping minutes ran on to sundown,
past it, dusk was falling—as a belated
firefly shone through It Nancy called
saucily: "Fried chicken and hot bis
cuit don’t walk down folks’ throats—
If a thing’s worth havin’ I say Its
worth cornin’ after.”
“Old Solomon’s daughter couldn’t
speak wiser,” the judge shouted back,
rising ponderously, and gripping Led
ly’s wasted arm. As they came face
to face, he said thickly: “What’s the
answer?” Ledly’s head went up. “We
must ask Nancy,” he with a gasp
—“after all, ahe la the only thing that
matters.”
Oddly the judge had to speak for
both. Ledly was tremulously inarticu
late. Clearly, briefly, oh, so kindly,
the older man put the case. Ledly, be
said, had youth, blood, breeding,
genins—lacking only health. He as
pired greatly; he might' achieve what
would make his wife enviable among
all women. Himself, he could only of
fer love rooted and spreading as the
big maple in front, also perhaps as
gnarly. There Miss Nancy stopped
him. Like a whirlwind she flung her
self upon him, sobbing out that she
loved him, him only; would never love
anybody else. Tommy was just a dear
boy, cousin—they would adopt him and
make him president—
' There Tommy took a hand —two
hands rather. With hot, trembling fin
gers he laid Nancy’s In the judge's
soft clasp, saying thickly: “God bless
you both !" Then vanished In the
darkness.
U. S. Chemists Recover
Nitrogen From the Air
One of the Important steps In devel
oping the synthetic ammonia process
of recovering nitrogen from the at
mosphere has been solved by the Fixed
Nitrogen laboratory as a result of re
cent investigations, according to the
annual report of the director of the
laboratory Just made to the secretary
of agriculture. This important step Is
the discovery or development of a
catalyzer, a chemical agent which
aids in the chemical reaction that
takes place in combining hydrogen
under pressure with the nitrogen of
the air to form ammonia, in which
form the nitrogen is available for use
as fertilizers.
There are several processes which
have been used successfully on a com
mercial scale for the production of
atmospheric nitrogen, but the direct
snythetic ammonia process Is rapidly
assuming the aspect of becoming tbe
most promising one. The principal
factor In favor of this process is the
reduced cost of production.
The problem involved In the synthet
ic ammonia process may be divided
into two groups; first, those which
concern the process of making the
hydrogen combine with the nitrogen of
the air, and second, those which con
cern the process for manufacturing
and purifying the hydrogen-nitrogen
mixture employed in the process. The
nature of the entire process centers
about the catalyst, and depends large
ly upon Its characteristics.
As far as we have been able to learn,
says the report, there is no country
in the world which has an ammonia
catalyst superior to that developed by
this laboratory. A method has also
been developed for manufacturing this
material, which gives the necessary
chemical control of the product and
at the same time makes large scale
production possible. United States
Department of Agriculture Bulletin.
Brought Results
Jenks hated having his photograph
taken, but at last he consented to un
dergo the long-dreaded ordeal. But he
had a purpose, and once he had made
up his mind to do a thing Jenks was
not the sort of man to turn back.
In due course the proofs arrived
from the photographer, and when his
wife saw them she exclaimed in
horror: “Oh, George, you have only
got one button on your coat 1”
“Thank heaven," he replied, “you’ve
noticed it at last! That’s tbe only
reason I had tbe photograph taken.”
Kept Him Hustling
One of the guests on tbe veranda
took a squint at the lake through his
binoculars and then asked: “What’s
the matter with Hoky?"
“Oh, he’s teaching the ladies to
swim.”
“But he seems to be plunging fran
tically back and forth through the
water.”
“He's as busy as one of theoe p!ate
spinning Jugglers.”
“Huh?”
ANOTHER CASE!
Time-tested by a Resident of This
Locality.
Just another report of sickness and
suffering relieved by Doan’s Pills.
Another interesting case that tells of
lasting benefit. What can be more
convincing? Thousands recommend
Doan’s for backache, rheumatic pains,
headaches, dizziness and distressing
urinary disorders. Doan’s are a stim
ulant diuretic to the kidneys. They
have helped thousands. Are recom
mended by many in this locality.
Y. A. Parnell, court bailiff, 316 Arch
St., Dublin, Ga., says: “Mv back be
came sore and stiff and there were
shooting pains through it. When I
stopped, 1 could hardly straighten, j
My kidneys acted irregularly and I
had to get up nights. After taking
Doan’s Pills, I was cured.”
The above statement was given
March 12, 1918 and on April 24, 1922,
Mr. Parnell added: “My cure has
been a lasting one.”
Price 60c. at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—gel
Doan’s Pills—the same that Mr.
Parnell had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
