' could make out amid the stream of ils dialect, but tbe remainder of his J peech was beyond my understanding. J I looked around In bewilderment. "Where am I?" I asked, still bound iy that first memory of New York. ' "In Sous-le-Cup, m'sleur," answered he man. ! I felt In my pocket for my watch 1 nd drew It out. It was strange that he men had not robbed me. but I sup>ose they had become terrified at their * rork and bad run off. However I did ' tot think of that at the time. It was a few minutes past eight.

Dismissing my friendly guide and ending him back rejoicing with llbral largesse, I hurried as quickly as I ould make my way until I burst into he Chateau at half past the hour. I must have presented a dreadful pectncle, for my hair and collar were nntted with blood, and I saw the | nests stare and shrink from me.

Jacqueline was on Captain Puinmel's boat, which sailed at nine, and nly twenty minutes remained to me. . I hnd underestimated Leroux's hrewdness. He must have telernphed Instructions from New York efore my train wns out of the country, ecu red the boat, laid his plans during ( is Journey northward, and had me truck down while Jacqueline was ( tolen from my care.

I must have been running aimlessly p and down the terrace, blindly enrchlng for a road down to the lower own, for a man seized me by the Ieeve and I looked Into the face of he hotel clerk again.

Lancaster.?The city council has passed an ordinance forbidding the parking of automobiles on the paved portion of Main street from the courthouse to the depot and the stopping of cars on any part of that section for more than five minutes. A protest against the enforcement of the ordinance was made by merchants who object to the inconvenience to their customers who are in the habit of driving up to the front of the stores to do their shopping. A petition signed, it was said, by 90 per cent of the Main street merchants was presented the council, but no action has been taken to date looking to a modification of the law. It is quite likely that it will remain in force for a sufficient time to give it a thorough tryout. Another Big Cotton Mill. York.?Definite steps toward the organization of a new 10.000 spindle cotton mill were taken at a meeting of business men in the courthouse re? cently. York people will be expected to furnish half the capital stock of $.r>00.000, assurance being given that the balance can be readily obtained from outside sources. Committees were appointed to secure the necessary pledges and arrange other details incident to the organization. iicu eniuusiusm was rnunuesieu at the meeting. Insect Damages Cotton. Salem, Black River.?With heavy rains every day or two and root lice in many of the best fields the cotton outlook is not at all promising. Fields that made two" bales of cotton per acre last year are so damaged by root lice that the cotton does >ot show up as well as it did just after coming up. This condition is general in the Black River section, though there is some good cotton where this pest has not started. The acreage in corn from here to Wisacky presents a gratifying increase. A Royal Good Time. Blvthewood.?Rlythewood folk are getting ready to give their soldier boys a royal time on June 26. At a called meeting of the citizens hold at the home of B. P. Hoffman, committees were appointed and plans made to entertain the returned soldiers of the school districts of Blythewood and Duke. The entertainment will be in na ture of a basket picnic on Thursday evening, June 26. from 6 to 9 o'clock. The citizens of this part of Richland county pride themselves on their hos pitality and the boys who made the world safe for democracy can count on the time of their lives. tion, except four or five have returned Bafely. Those with the Eighty-first ' division are expected soon. The people at home are boht grateful to and proud of the men who represented them in the great war. Want Men at Camp. Camp Jackson.?Two hundred civilian laborers are needed at the remount depot at Camp Jackson for teamsters, horsemen and caring for the 4.000 head of stock at the depot. These men receive adequate compensation end free lodging. The general pay for civilian day labor at the camp is 30 cents an hour, hut in special lines the employees are paid more. Men in the remount depot receive rmounts slightly in excess of vli's fig ure. Officers of the camp are desirous of securing more men for the remount depot and ask all Interested to come out and talk the situation over or apply at the United States employment service on Washington street. Road Work in Chester.

McFadden, one of Chester's most prominent physicians and surgeons, who was the first of the local doctors to enlist in the late war, and who saw much service in France has been highly honored by the French government in being awarded a certificate of authorization t<? wear the arms of the city of Langres, France, in recognition of the great work he did as a member of base hospital No. !>3.

A warrant was sworn out before Judge Shannon for the arrest of Mr Love's wife, Mrs, Vennie Ix>ve, charging her with assault with intent to kill in connection with the alleged throwing of the water which she stoutl? denies. Boll Weevil In Jasper. Rldgeland.?Jasper county today Is facing one of the most serious problems ever presented in this section? the boll weevil. Within the last few days some of the largest farmers in the county have estimated that at least 60 per cant of the cotton planted Is at this time infested with the weevil. In some instances fields with cotton about two feet high is being totally consumed. Some of the farm ers are even plowing up their cotton and putting in corn and pease to p&rtlty recoup their losses.

CAKE MAKING. R Just n word to those who nre yet Inexperienced in the nrt of rake making. First of ull, liuve ull the ( MB materials he ready at hand before be........... .... mhv- J KIIIIHIIKt ur III me? lill'inl j>, I ' you will llml some linportant Ingredient miss^ Inn which will need a change of plana. Most coirks have some ot standard recipe which they will vary Fi with flavoring, spice or fruit, or hake In different shaped tins with different fillings or frostlngs, which will give a d? large variety. T The tline was when much creaming tc of butter and stirring of sugar and ei butter was thought the only way to w make a butter cake, but these busy pi days are teaching us many ways of tl simplifying our work, and cake tank- fi ing must keep pace. The shortening, 11 If softened?not melted?will mix k< with the sugar and It takes but a short time to cream It; add a little hot water tt or milk If hurried for time ami then u give the mixture a good beating, add- m Ing the eggs beaten and give another h good heating. A fair cake, good enough for every-dny use. Is one using p three tablespoonfuls of butter or hut- c tor substitute, one cupful of sugar, p half a cupful of milk, two eggs, two p tenspoonfuls of halving powder and a p cxpful and three-quarters of sifted flour. Add flavoring and hake In a hot n oven. A cirele of well-greased paper p placed In the layer tins, us well as M deeper tins, will help to remove the n cake without breaking. p A enke that Is Itaked with as little flour as will hold It tip makes a much j. more tender and delicate one. The baking Is a most Important factor In ? good cake making. Have the oven very hot for layer cake and bake from 10 to 12 minutes. For n loaf cake which needs 40 minutes to hake, divide the time Into quarters. The first ' ten minutes see that the cake begins j to rise, the second ten minutes It ' finishes rising add begins to brown, the third ten minutes It finishes brown- t lug and begins to shrink fr<nn the imn, t then the last ten or quarter It finishes n baking. If a cake crackles as If still 1 cooking when taken from the oven, 1 put It back for a few minutes. Fruit Layer Cake.?For a delicious 1 cake to use for company or on special t 1 occasions, this Is excellent. Cream a cupful of shortening, add two eupfuls j i of warmed sugar to hasten the cream- | Ing, add six well beaten eggs, two and f one-half eupfuls of llour, a cupful of teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat mo] well and bake in three layers. thr L Only the possessions which we use jor] are of present value to us. A man may ' have a money fortune, und yet be "p< poverty stricken In the very things wn which that money would buy him. The r,?., money Is hfs all Urn time; but It Is of . little or no value to him becuuse he lets It alone. ho I WHAT TO EAT. fall There tiro few people who feel that wr) a meal has boon satisfying that Is not wh li n 1 s h o d with | Peach Sherbet- S,IJ sugar and a quart of water on to holl lid minutes; lot cool, then mhl one nml one-half cupfuls irf pcnoh pulp, the struined juice of >111 orange mid the juice of half a r lemon.
