They could only see the paraders as they passed. Below the street was lined with people, and now there was a general stir of expectancy as every one gazed down the avenue at the first strains of the approaching band. ‘Wait, we’ll soil our gloves.” and Mrs. Stevens spread a newspaper over the dusty windowsill. The music grew louder. Policemen were patrollng the street to keep hack the crowd on the curbing. The -real avenue was swept clear. First iime the horseback brigade, sixteen women in black riding habits with yellow pennants of ‘Votes for Women.” Then the standard bearers, the grand marshal, the hand and the parade was under way. Helen’s first Impression was that the women marched well very well. They carried themselves with con scious dignity and an earnestness of purpose. The white gowns and yel low regalia shone brilliantly in the sunlight. ‘‘Oh, l wdsh we could read the ban ner*. ” complained Mrs. Stevens, for they could see only the backs of the banners as they paused. “1 should think they would letter them on both sides.” "Wonder what college this ls°” murmured Helen, as a company of women in black university gowns and mortar-board caps marched by with stalely precision. ‘Well, we can’t tell anything if we can’t read the standards We really could see better from the street ” Helen Objects "Oh. but it’s much nicer up here, protested Helen, who bated to be jostled In a crowd. “I brought a paper that gave the order of marching perhaps we can tell something by that. Here it is,” turning to an article headed: •Jin,ono Women Will March To-day. 35 Bands In Procession Parade Forms at Washington Square at 3 O'clock.

A band followed playing the French battle hymn - “The Marseilles. Then came a company in swinging step to the music, carrying many banners. “Oh. why don't they all wear white?” asked Helen. They’d look sn much better in a regulation white uniform .” What’s doing?” come out of his private office, and wa« now looking over their shoulders. “Oh.

Warren had promised to come up about F. and they were all going out to din ner together She begged him to come earlier, but he had scoffed at the idea of leaving his work for a suffragette parade. Warren Arrives. However, it was -not quite 4 when the door opened and Warren stalked in Helen greeted him joy fully. ”uh, dear. I'm ao glad! I want you to see it—it's well worth while!” "Not much doing Saturday after noon, so l thought I might as well knock off How do the damsels look?” seating himself on the win dow-gill beside Helen “Those 1 saw- coming up seemed pretty well sea soned.” "We’re too high up to see their faces,” said Mrs. Stevens. “Well the farther away you are the better they look.

"She waddles French heels, too! Pan you beat it?” Dear. I don’t think that's at all funny, and it * certainly not nice for you to try to pick out things to ridicule. Among 30,000 women some of them may dress inappropriately, but that doesn’t affect the cause they’re inarching for.” Thirty thousand!” Warren’s tone was skeptical. ’Til wager there won’t be ten. And why don't th€\ have more bands? That's the only part of any parade that’s worth while. Ah. here we have the real thing!’ A hand had burst into a Iivel\ air just as It came in sight leading it was a strutting, gold-laced drum major twirling his baton. A Big Crowd. "He's great.” grinned Warren "I've always been partial to drum majors. They’re so blamed pompous over nothing Wish he’d drop that thing I’d like to him scurry after it." But the drum major gradually flourished and teased his baton with, out mishap, and Warren's desire, to see his dignity upset was not grat ified. "Wonder how long they can tie up these side streets’ 1, asked Mr. Stevens "Just look over there ” As Mr. Stiver’s office was in a cor ner building, they could see up the * < *»s street, w hich was jammed with stalled traffic.

"From the way most women wear their ha** Jammed down over their head, you’d think they hadn’t any hair” "All, this is more like it!” Warren was ridiculing a woman marching In a changeable silk dreas that fairly glittered in the sunlight.

So the\ were left alone to watch the rest of the parade undisturbed by Warren's facetious comments, while he and Mr. Stevens settled themselves In com fortable chairs to smoke and talk shop.

Mr. Stevens locked his desk while Warren closed the windows, and they all went down the hall to the elevator. It was crowded with people who had been seeing the parade from upper offices. Every one was commenting on the man hers. "Well, they’re In earnest and they’ll get what they want.” was the very. audible comment of one man. Warren made a grimace, but as Helen was crowded against him In the elevator she whispered enthusias tically: "And 1 hope they’ll get It VERY SOON!” Sugar From Sawdust The road to ambition is to work, and work hard.’’ Advice to the Lovelorn ■'Dancing gives a firm body and a clear white skin.’’ I N the course of a paper read before the Royal Society of Arts Mr A. Zimmerman described a process by which sugar might be manufactured from sawdust. In its natural state, he pointed out, wood contains no sugar, but when sawdust has been subjected in closed retorts to digestion with a weak sul phurous acid solution under pressure of six to seven atmospheres, a very remarkable transmutation takes place, as much as 25 per cent of the mate rial being converted into sugar. In this Mr. Zimmerman claims that we have a valuable feeding stuff for horses, cattle and sheep. Draught horses, in whose daily ra tion four pounds of "sacchulose-mo- lasses" were substituted for four pounds of oats, were kept under ob servation for seven months, and were all found to have increased in weight, w hile a colt, which was in so weak a condition that veterinary surgeons advised its destruction, put on 260 pounds in six months, and now is in excellent condition. The food has also been tried in a large Durham colliery, with the result that it kept the pit ponies and horses in good and hard condition Many other uses, it was suggested, would be found for this converted wood — •xample, in the manufacture of one step. After that they come right along pretty naturally.” "You sound like an athlete in train ing.” I remarked. "That is Just what a dancer is.

T()-I)AV S IXSTALLMENT. CHAPTER XI. The Thief. Mary remained In Joyous spirits after her victorious matching of brains against a lawyer of high standing in his profession. For the time being, conscience was muted by /'ratified ambition. Her thoughts just then were far from the miseries of the past, with their evil train of con sequences in the present. Hut that past was soon to be .recalled to her with a vividness most terrible. She had entered the telephone booth, which she had caused to be installed out of an extra closet of her bedroom for the sake of greater priv acy on occasion, and it was during her absence from the drawing room that Garson again came into the apartment, seeking her. On being told by Aggie as to Mary’s where abouts. he set down to await her re turn, listening without much inter est to the chatter of the adventuress. * * * It was just then that the maid appeared. "There’s a girl wants to see Miss Turner,” she explained. The irrepressible Aggie put on her most ftiilcally elegant air. "Has she a card?” she inquired haughtily, while the maid tittered ap preciation. "No.” was the answer. "Hut she says it’s important. I guess the poor things in hard luck, from the look of her.” the kindly Fannie added. “Oh, then she’ll be welcome, of course,” Aggie declared, and Garson nodded in acquiescence. "Tell her to come in and wait. Fannie. Miss Turner will be here right away.” She turned to Garson as the maid ieft the room. "Mary sure is an easy boob." she remarked, cheerfully. "Bless her soft heart!" The Girl Appears. A curiously gentle smile of appre ciation softened the immobility of the forgers face as he again nodded assent. “We might just as well pipe off the skirt before Mary gets here." Aggie suggested, with eagerness. A minute later, a girl perhaps 20 years of age, stepped just within the doorway, and stood, there with eyes downcast, after one swift, furtive glance about her. Her whole ap pearance was that of dejection. Her soiled black gown, the cringing pos ture. the pallor of her face, proclaim ed the abject misery of her state. Aggie, who was not exuberant in her sympathies for any one other than herself, addressed the newcomer with a patronizing inflection, modu lated in her best manner. "Won’t you come in, please?” she requested. The shrinking girl shot another veiled look in the direction of the speaker. "Are you Miss Turner?" she asked, in a voice broken by nervous dismay. "Really. I am sorry.” Aggie replied, primly, "but 1 am only her cousin. Miss Agnes Lynch. But Miss Turner is likely to be back any minute now.” "Can I wait?” came the timid ques tion. "Certainly.” Aggie answered, hos pitably. "Please sit down." As the girl obediently sank down cm the nearest chair, Garson addressed her sharply, so that the visitor started uneasily at the unexpected sound. "You don’t know Miss Turner?” "No,*’ came the faint reply. "Then, what do you want to see Teacher—When did Charles l make* his greatest mistake” Bright Scholar—The time lie h».s his head.

Vaguely startled by the hysterical outburst from the girl, Mary’s imme diate thought was that here was a pitiful instance of one suffering from starvation. "Joe,” she directed rapidly, "have Fannie bring a glass of milk with an egg and a little brandy in it, right away.” The girl in the chair was shaking soundlessly under the stress of her emotions. A few disjointed phrases fell from her quivering lips. "I didn't know—oh, I couldn’t!” "Don’t try to talk just now,” Mary warned, reassuringly. "Wait until you’ve had something to eat.” Aggie, who had observed develop ments closely, now lifted her voice in tardy lamentations over her own stu pidity. There was no affectation of the fine lady in her self-reproach. "Why, the poor gawk’s hungry!” she exclaimed. "And I never got the dope on her. Ain’t I the simp!” The girl regained a degree of self- control. and showed something of for lorn dignity. “She Would Come.” ing.” Mary regarded the afflicted crea ture wdth that sympathy born only of experience. "Yes.” she said softly, "I under stand.” Then she spoke to Aggie. "Take her to my room, and let her rest .there for a whil* Hive her drink the egg and milk slowly, and then lie down for a few minutes any how.” Aggie obeyed with an air of bus tling activity. "Sure, 1 will!” she declared. She went to the girl and helped her to stand up. "We’ll fix you out all right,” she said, comfortingly. “Come along with me. * * * Hungry! Gee, but that’s tough!” Half an hour afterward, while Mary was at her desk, giving part of her attention to Joe Garson. who sat near, and part to a rather formidable pile ot neatly arranged papers. Aggie re ported with her charge, who. though still shambling of gait, and stooping, showed by some faint color in her face and an Increased steadiness of bearing that the food had already strengthened her much. "She would come.” Aggie explained. "1 thought she ought to rest for a while longer anyhow.” She half- shoved the girl into a chair opposite the desk, in an absurd travesty on the maternal manner. "I'm all right, I tell you,” came the querulous protest. Whereupon Aggie gave over the un congenial task of mothering and set tled herself comfortably in a chair, with her legs merely crossed as a compromise between ease and pro priety. "Are you quite sure?” Mary said to the girl. And then, as the other nodded in assent, she spoke with a compelling kindliness. "Then you must tell us all about it—this trou ble of yours, you know. What is your name?” Once again the girl had recourse to the swift, searching, furtive glance, but her voice was colorless as she re plied, listlessly: "Helen Morris.” Mary regarded the girl with an ex pression that was Inscrutable when she spoke; again. "1 don’t have to ask if you have been in prison,” she said gravely. "Your face shows it.” " I came out-—three months ago,” was the halting admission. Mary watched the shrinking figure reflectively for a long minute before she spoke again. Then there was a deeper resonance in her voice. "And you’d made up your mind to go straight?” "Yes.” The word was a whisper. "You were going to do what the chaplain had told you.” Mary want on in a voice vibrant with varied emo tions. "You were going to start all over again, weren’t you? You were going to begin a new life, weren’t you?” The bent head of the girl bent still lower in assent. There came a cynical note in Mary’s utterance now. "it doesn’t work very well, does it?” she asked bitterly. The girl gave sullen agreement. "No,” she said dully, "I’m whipped.” Mary’s manner changed on the in stant. She spoke cheerfully for the first time. "Well, then.” she questioned, “how would you like to work with us?” The girl looked for a second with another of her fleeting, stealthy glanced. "You—you mean that ?’* Mary explained her intention in the matter very explicitly. Her voice grew’ boastful. "Our kiAd of work pays well when you know how.

There was a brief pause before the girl could pluck up courage enough for an answer. Then, it was spoken confusedly, almost in a w’hisper. "She once helped a girl friend of mine, and 1 thought—I thought——” "You thought she might help you,” Garson interrupted. But Aggie, too, possessed some per ceptive powers, despite the fact that she preferred to use them little in ordinary affairs. ‘You have been in the stir—prison. 1 mean.” She hastily corrected the lapse into underworld slang. Game a distressed muttering of assent from the girl. "How sad!” Aggie remarked, in a voice of shocked pity for one so in conceivably unfortunate. "How very, very sad!” This ingenuous method of diversion was put to an end by the entrance of Mary, who stopped short on seeing the limp figure huddled in the chair. "A visitor. Agnes?” she inquired. At the sound of her voice, and be fore Aggie could hit on a fittingly ele gant form of reply, the girl looked up. And now, for the first time, she spoke with some degree of energy, albeit there was a sinister undertone in the husky voice. "You’re Miss Turner?” she ques tioned. "Yes.’ Mary said, simply. Her words rang kindly; and she smiled encouragement. A gasp burst from the white lips of the girl, and she cowered ms one stricken physically. "Mary Turner! Oh. my God!

They are always sweet, pure and wholesome; there is a flavor and genuine goodness about them that is not found in the general run of factory products. Besides that, when you make your own preparations you know that the ingredients are always pure, and that the can is clean and sanitary. The main reason why icecream is made in but comparatively few homes, is the work and bother connected with the old- „ fashioned crank freezer. That is one reason why the arrival of The ‘Ice-Kist’ Crankless Freeze' will be hailed with delight by every one who is. fond of ice creams, etc., because it elimi nates the tedious turning of the crank entirely, and produces creams, sherbets and ices that will make your mouth water.
