His new tone frightened Edith Barring
ton-'this suave, rallying tone that he had
come to use to her in the last few
weeks since their return to England
more than that one sharp sentence of
accusation and suspicion had done. She
strove to fall into his humor.
■ How odious you are, Anthony! I never
bully any one. I have you to do all the
bullying I was busy writing letters.”
As she spoke she settled herself before
her writing table, making ostentatious
play of paper and pens in the hope that
he might go away.
You reserve al! the bullying for me, eh.

her chair and kissed the nape of her neck.

Feel that!" He laid his fingers softly
against her cheek.
She drew away with a pettish exclama
tion of annoyance.
"Anthony, what a brutal thing to do!"
Barrington laughed.
Poor Edith, saint and martyr!" He

She rubbed her cheek against bis hand.
"I am sorry, but you do worry me so.
You take such extraordinary notions into
your head about hearing voices—you'll, be
seeing weird things next—green cats and
blue snakes."
She spoke softly, that her wqrds might
not carry to the man in the next room.
Every sentence Barrington spoke fell on
her heart with a hideous sense of hu

and kill her for the deception she had
practiced upon him he would be acting

Barrington pursued his search method- 1

Barrington turned to her and spoke for

PREPARING THE PAPER BAG.
By ELIZABETH RATHBONE.
HOT weather has brought the pa
per bag much in evidence In the
kitchen.
No one likes to wash dishes at any
time, but in summer the greasy pot
and kettle presents such an objection
that many a cook would rather go
without eating warm food than to have
to wash up afterward.
With paper bag crockery there.are no
cooking dishes to wash, and this fact
makes the new way of cooking espe
cially popular in hot weather.
Last autumn. Soyer. the late chef of
the famous Brooks club in England,
announced that he had developed a
new method of cooking. instead of
using crocks and pans, be put the food
to be cooked in a paper bag. sealed it.
placed the bag in the oven, and in due
time brought forth an exquisitely pre
pared viand.
First he was laughed at. then the
housewife with a taste for experiments
tried the new-fangled paper bag cook
ery with some success.
Now that hot weather has come,
there is another reason for using pa
per bags instead of pans and dishes to
cook with.
An Energy Saver.
Paper bag cookery is exceedingly
simple, and the cook who only has one
of two people to prepare for finds this
method a great saving in time, mate
rial and energy. “•
In cooking with the paper bag there
is no smell and no waste. Portions
for one or two people can be put into
the hag and cooked without loss by
evaporation.
A great many people have thought
that any kind of a paper bag would
do, and have tried cooking in paper
bags which once contained sugar or
coffee. But the results were quite dis
astrous. The bag burned up or the
food spilled out. and there was a dis
tinctly papery taste to anything that
was left.
You must have a bag made of mate
rials that are absolutely pure and
odorless, and it must be a bag that
doesn’t leak Choose your bag accord
ing to the amount of food to be cooked,
and don't put a small quantity In a
big bag. The hag should be placed in
the oven. Any oven will do. If you
are using a gas stove, don’t place the
bag nera the gas jet. It should be at

Cured By a Native Herb
On board a vessel bound for India
recently a man was bitten by a poi
sonous reptile; both the ship doctor
and a famous surgeon failed to con
trol the poison, fast spreading through
his system.
In a day the vessel reached port.
An Indian medicine man was sent for,
who produced a native herb which
quickly allayed the poison, and the
man's life was saved.
Roots and herbs are nature's cure
for disease That great remedy for
female ills, Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound, had its origin in the
roots and herbs of the field, tons of
which are now consumed yearly in
making It.

least a couple of inches from the flame.
After the food to be cooked is put
into the bag. seal the hag by tinning
in the top and fastening with the ordi
nary clips used for typewriting paper,
etc. A great many women use pins.
Occasionally the pin is served with rhe
food: so it’s better to use clips. They
can be saved and used again and again.
If you want to know when the food is
done, open your oven door and prick
your bag open with a needle, or tomb
it to see if it is soft, according to the
food cooked. As a matter of fact, ft
is not very easy to overcook the food,
and you are much more likely to have
things underdone. •
If you want to save time and labor
and dishwashing, by cooking with pa
llet bags, begin with something very
simple; something that can't very well
spoil. Take potatoes, for instance, if
you use new potatoes, cut them in half;
if .old potatoes are used, quarter them
after peeling. Put sufficient potatoes
for the number of persons, placing the
potatoes in the paper bag: add a tea
spoonful of cold water for each portion,
add a little salt and 1 onio chopped
parsley. Fasten the bag carefully with
two or three wire clips; then put it in
the oven, laying it on the broiler, if
the oven Is hot. it ought to lake about
30 minutes to cook the potamcM.
Preparing Eggs.
Except when yon u'e using safer in
a paper bag. the bag should In well

preparing eggs in a papet bag is mark
like this: First. liufbr the bag well,
then pout into it about three table
spoonfuls of thick sauce or the thick
juice of canned tomatoes flavored with
salt and pepper. Add i small lump of
butter, seal the bag, which should be
the smallest size, for one person only,
and took for about ten minutes. Now.
cut a hole in the center of the bag and
break into this hole one entire egu. Put
the bag back in the oven and cook for
about three minutes. Serve in tig bag.
This makes a nice lunch-on dish ami It
is certainly simple to prepart Kill as

fish place it in a well buttered bag. add
a little sweet cream, some choppad

If desired, a little grated cheese can be
mixed with the cream. This should
only take about ten minutes to cook,
even if the oven is sufficiently hot.
Peas are cooked In paper bags by
adding a pint of water to every pint of

It’s a Hard Life
TOM GETS HIS OLD JOB BACK AND IS SORRY
By WEX JONES.
THIS business of getting a job for
the summer is getting on mj
nerves. Here it’s the end of June
and I haven't had a permanent posi
tion .vet. In fact, most of those ( bed
were so far from permanent that the
start collided with the finish.
I thought I had hit upon a good, easy
job yesterday.
Strange to say. I didn't have to ask
for it either; it was thrust at me.
I was passing a building that looked
like some public institution, when a
man rushed out and said ta me: "You
look like a man that wants a Job."
"My face is telling the truth then." 1
replied.
"I’ve got a fine job for you.” the man
told me. "There's s.l a day in it. and
only about four hours work.”
"Quick!" said 1. "Lead me to it.”
' You're hired," .said the man. "You
can't start in yet. so just sit around
hero till I call you.”
Nothing could beat that very much,
sitting in the shade with S 3 a* day
coming in.
I hadn't been there very long when a
man with his arm ail bandaged came
along the road.
"Hello!" he said. "Doing anything?"
"Yes; got a job inside." I replied.
"It’s a snap. too. Three dollars a day
and only four hours work."
“Ah." said he meditatively, patting
his injured arm. "Yes: it's a. snap, as
you say."
Then he passed alone on his w-ity.
Presently along came a man with
one of his legs all.bound up. He walked
with the aid of a crutch.
"Seen anything of a fellow with his
arm in a sling?" asked the new ar
rival.
"Yes." said I; "he went down that
way." indicating the direction he had
taken.
The man with the bandaged leg
looked at me meditatively.
"Looking for a snap, are you?" he in
quired.

"Sure; right in here." I replied, point
ing to the building behind me.
“You’ll get it. all right," said the one
with the crutch. "That fellow with
his arm In the *ttng gm it. 1 got It,
too. Oh. yes, you’ll get It. all right.”
"Did you work here?" 1 asked.
"Yes." answered the man. "I did.
So did the other fellow. Well, I must
get after him or. he'll be gone."
Soon the man who had hired me
came out. "All right,” h« said, “you
can Start in now.”
"What have 1 to do?"
“This is an aquarium." he told ma,
“Ail you have to do is to feed the fish.*
"That’s easy,” said I.
"Sure." said he, "and you get $3 a
day for it.”
Inside the boss gave me a lot of
ant eggs and such junk to feed the'
fish. Also lie gave me a large chunk
of beef.
"What’s the beef for?” I asked him.
"Oh, that's for the alligator,” he an
swered.
A curious feeling came over me at
that word. I couldn't tell why, butj
tlie world seemed less bright than it*
had been a moment before.
However, I went around and fed all
the fishes. Then I went to the big 1
concrete pool where the alligator was. i
It looked as big as a tree trunk and
about as Jnielligent. I threw the beef
in beside it. but the animal, or reptile,
whichever it is. took no notice of it.
Conscious of a day’s w ork well done i
and $3 added to th£ bank roll, I was •
beating il out when the boss met. me.
"Feed 'em all?" he asked.
“Sure,” said I.
"Alligator?"
"Sure."
"Did he eat it?"
“No," said I "but I loft it beside him.”
"Ah. that won't do," said the boss.
"He's like the English suffragettes—he
must be fed forcibly."
I went back and looked at the alli
gator. He happened to yawn lust
then. His yawn was about four f ß et
in diameter. At Hie same moment I
remembered the two mon. the one with
his arm in a sling, the other with Ilia
leg in bandages.
I resigned.
