This gorgeous drawing-room faded iway, and in. its place rose the'whita trails of the little chamber at the farm. She saw Dr. West, grave, sedate, and anxious. She beard Jane Bister's voice saying:— "She was very young to be married." She remembered the little cry the baby »aye when they lifted him from his mother's arm, how she herself had kissed tine tiny, sweet'face in a.passion of renorse afid sorrow. Now they were together .again, mother md son —Heaven help them, mother and ion! . f Then she had to,call all her strength together, for Lady Darner was bringing the two gentlemen to her. Lord St. Albans shook hands with her -ordially. He had -always liked kindly; Homely" Hopa Charteris, and then herlister introduced them. She'felt like one in a dream as Verner Elster shook hands with her and spoke to her.. She looked up into his face in a . bewildered, half-6tupefied way,. and answered him she knew not how. Something in this homely.. shrinking. woman touched Verner's heart. He sat l lowh by her side and began to talk to • ber. In a few minutes she recovered herself. "It is all safe," she said to herself, "all safe;, no one has found, out-that he is Ploy's son." She was naturally brave • and . courageous, strong of mind, brave' of heart, quick of resource, and in a few minutes her scattered senses returned to her. Then she was able to talk to him. Ah, no. wonder that" Floy had been charmed with him, np wonder that .Lord Darner had -taken such a violent fancy to him. Lady Darner, looking at her, smiled, thinking to herself .that the young.- maul had surely some wonderful charm about him that had already begun to work upon her quiet, sedate sister. Then "dinner was announced, and the tete-a-tete was broken. It was such a happy party; Lord Darner looked around on the smiling young faces, so bright; so ihappy; he looked at his beautiful wife,- radiant in jewefe, smiling, gracious,. and happy. A sense of peace and security crept into his heart—a warmth of happiness that thrilled him, that even in the midst of thatTn-illiant scene made him grateful to the Great Giver. And there came to him no warning of the terrible doom slowly gathering round Avonwold —the lowering cloud that was to hide all brightness from him for ever. That evening Lord St. Albans found himself, for a short time, alone with Verner. "I shall never forget that lovely picture we saw to-day, Verner," he said— "Miss Darner in the roses. How fair she is—how lovely! If I cannot win her for my wife, I will love no other." '"She is very lovely," said Verner, "but I "do not think she is to be compared to her mother." And, though Verner spoke quite seriously, Lotrd St. Albans laughed heartily at hie words. (To be continues daily.) JAM MADE WITH SALT. ■ How jams can be made with much leas sugar than is generally used was shown-1 by Mr William Lawton at the room of the Society of Mtedical Officers of Health in- London. Ordinarily, about lib of sugar is allowed in jam making for every pound of fruit: Mr L&wton uses only I from three to six ounces of Demerara j or soft brown sugar and a varying proportion of salt. - He showed various jams made in this way, including raspberry, | gooseberry, plum, greengage and red and black currant, and they tasted so well (says the "Daily , that the experiment can certainly be recommended to housewives who are studying economy, ilnlliant in colour, the jama retained the full flavour of the fruit, and there was no striking predominance of salt. Indeed, the effect of the new method .is apparently to.give a far richer flavour to the fruit. The only difference in making is that the jams require to be well and slowly boiled, skimming being unnecessary. By Mr Law-ton's process, in which common household salt neutralises the acid and'acts as a preservative, jam can lie made with the cheapest brown sugar, and of this it is only necesasry to use from half to a-quarter of the usual amount. In the compotes potato, green apple arid vegetable imarrow pulps are used. These'recipes will be sent free to anyone who writes to Mr Law ton at 1, Upper Montagu Street, London, W.C., and who is willing to become a member —without subscription—of the Britannia League of Housewives.
