W?-':y# Iff -.A *" .'A - / 3 ^Mission of the Tomato Bisque By RUTH SANTELLE Copyright, 190k, by Ruth SanteUe tt >' Q> Major Blackburn was possessed of a temperament no more irascible than that of the average gentleman of his age. Moreover, the dignity of that age might have gone unsuspected by virtue of his boyish face and genial if somewhat pompous manner had it not been for the telltale appurtenances of a veteran's title and a great grownup son of the modern, broad shouldered type. But the major was inclined to take it good naturedly. Aspiring to youthfulness in old age was not one of his hobbies. He was guilty, nevertheless, of two?a pet ideal and a pet aversion. The first was an imaginary picture he had conjured up of an old time girl who scorned "higher education" and devoted herself to the acquisition of an endless string of housewifely accomplishments. The second was tomatoes. Utterly unfit to eat! He knew it beyond hope of conversion. Furthermore, they sickened him unto death?upon his word as a gentleman , and soldier. His thoughts were neither of the visionary maid nor the detested vege-. table as he strode up and down the aisle of the chilly car. They had been fighting snow and wind since 4 p. m., and now it was 10, and the drifts piled higher. Something had happened to the steam pipes, and comfortable warmth was fast becoming a more and more distant memory. Worst of oil Viott hoS nr?f vot in reaching the place where the dinner was taken on, and, dlnnerless, the major was unhappy. I , ''Where in the world are we, and what are we stopping for this timer* he growled as a blue nosed brakeznan swung through. "Stopping because we cant go no farther," was the answer. "This here's Graves Station, and we're telegraphing for relief. Let you know directly," as { he disappeared. "Comforting, to say the least I Win-1 dows so frosted you can't see out. j Probably nothing to see if you could. | How a cup of coffee now would cheer a man's soul!" The major's dismal reflections were interrupted by a clear, ringing laugh. Irresistibly he stopped by the seat of the fresh cheeked, tailored girl in the | wide hat who had been variously mln- j istering to the hungry, cold, tired car full Now, she had a youngster In her lap, stifling his fretting with bites of juicy orange. It looked inviting. T am sorry to say," came the conductor's voice from the doorway, "that the drifts make it Impossible for us to go on. We have sent for the plow to release us, and it can probably get here in two hours. As all trains after 8 o'clock are through expresses, the station is closed for the'night, so I am afraid"A chorus of groans drowned the rest' of the announcement. Helplessly and hopelessly they looked at each other. rTT1? / >?! nlnnA alJrmlnfr XUt? UUIVIT^ giii aivuvy PMtfy*l"0 ^ child from her knees, held a moment's consultation with the conductor. Then she called cheerfully: "I am organizing a foraging expedition. May I ask for volunteers, please? Four men, I think?young ones. We'll let the rest of yon help when we see what's to be done." The response was instantaneous. She had to be firm in accepting the four who reached her first Like a captain, she'managed her crew in undisputed sway, and before the now interested crowd could grow impatient they found themselves filing through hastily shoveled paths into the station'^ single building, almost warm already with a i huge fire in the stove. "It wasn't a bit hard to get In," warbled the captain, now playing hostess. "We found quantities of wood, and if you're all very good and don't hinder we may find yon something eatable in due time. Now, you," to the flattered major, "keep everybody else amused some way while we get supper." "That girl is a?a?brick."' he murmured admiringly and proceeded to obey orders to the best of his ability. The merry cries from the kitchen end of the establishment helped him in his efforts. "Crackers!" carroled the captain encouragingly. "Half a barrel full. And a can of cream frozen almost solid. I'll have to. sweeten some for dessert" A few moments of laughter and apparent investigation. "Now, a girl like that!" the major was pondering, unable to keep his jealous glance from wandering. Then a burst of triumph from the kitchen: "Oh, see what I've found! Cans and cans of them! Now for a feast!" Then a period of busy silence and strengthening odors. In less time than the famished travelers had dared hope they were ranged before bowls brimming with a steaming and savory concoction, the very sight of which increased their faith in a sheltering Providence. "Fall to, fall top urged the apparently untired girl, waving a long ladle like a magician's wand. "There are gallons and gallons, and I don't want to see a motionless spoon till every drop has vanished." They needed no second invitation. As the major leaned back after a fourth polishing of his bowl the girl came up with a platter. "Take this," she whispered, "and gather the biggest sort of a collection to leave in payment for our entertainment" And the plate grew heavy as he went the rounds, supported by the voice of the girl from her stool pedestal. " / - p ' ' >' ,ov~yr rThen came the dish washing--("Is there anything that girl won't think, of?" wondered the major)?and a round of lively games, upon which broke the welcoming shriek of the snowplow. And how the winter night was rent with cheer upon cheer for the captain as once again they boarded the train with a fair passage ahead! The major by force captured the seat beside her. ?A i x- xl ~we can i oegxii to lujuh juu, ui course. It was a case of salvation pure and simple. And that stew?perfectly delicious! If I might ask you to accept my card"? As she took the bit of pasteboard she started and flushed; then, with a fluttering apology, was off to adjust the wraps of an old lady who was trying to get a nap. And when at the first stop she left the train, escorted by a bodyguard six or eight strong, with a musical "G-oodby, everybody, and bon voyage!" over her shoulder, the major felt that his advances had not been warmly received. During the two days which the major and his son, who had gone ahead, spent over the business which had called them from home the younger man found his patience tried by the Incessant allusions to "the girl who saved our lives." "A girl like that Warren, would make a wife worth having! Capable to the last degree! None of your aesthetic ethics about her. What you can see in that college creation you're so determined to"? . "If you please, father, remember that I am engaged to marry Miss Berkeley and cannot countenance slighting remarks even from you. If you would only consent to see her yon would not feel so, I know. "Well, well, never mind! But a girl like that I could welcome as a daughter," was the regretful response. On the return trip, by daylight, the major grew visibly excited as they neared the town where the girt bad stopped. "Ill watch closely, Warren. If she should happen to be at the train I could point her out" "Ye-es," drawled Warren absently; then he started forward as the train pulled in. "Marda! Why, what in the world"? But his father was peering through the window. "By Jove, there she is! And she's?no?yes?she's getting on! Don't be excited, Warren, if you can ix M neip if And the major turned to see his dignified son dashing down the aisle; then he held his breath as he saw him warmly greet the angel of the ^midnight feast "Father, this is Miss Berkeley? Marcia," began Warren persuasively, when, to his surprise, the maiden said: "I have met yonr father before, though Major Blackburn did not at the time know me." Father and son gazed from each other to the girL Comprehension dawned simultaneously. Then the major put out both hands, with laughter in his eyes. "But Marcia," questioned Warren, as they seated themselves, 1 don't understand yet Why are you away from the university?" "Three days' lfeave of absence for experimental sociology." "Marcia," said the major, admiration and wonder controlling his voice, "that stew I I didn't know college girls ever did such things." "My tomato bisque?" she laughed. T am famous for that In my chafing dish and'found just the right things." "Tomato!" gasped the major, sinking back weakly. "That wasn't tomato? I?I?guess I never tried any before. It was very nice." _ i Seed Armor. Plant seeds are Incased In a hard covering, upon which the gastric Juice ok animals takes no effect and It is this natural protection which preserves what is so necessary to reproduce the support of animal life. It is only when a seed is crushed and ltsajt&l principal In consequence destroyed that the gastric juke acts upon it and it is soon dissolved. It is for this reason that birds are provided with gizzards to break the protecting coats of the grain, and ani? ??!?, +v?of foori cm oAprfn nnd nnta strin them of their shells and husks. In succulent fruit, such as the strawberry, raspberry, currant, apple, orange and melon, which from their nature are attractive to the taste, the seeds, which are often likely to be swallowed, are fortified by a doubly protective coating so that they pass unharmed through the digestive organs, and their germinating powers may even be improved by the warmth and trituration of the stomachs-London Standard. n Swedish Women. Reverence for women is one of the immemorial Scandinavian characteristics. The women themselves are emulous of masculine achievement and are keen for obtaining the same civil rights. The woman of the south dominates by her charm, the woman of the north by her force of mind. Each has a love of physical activity and a thirst for knowledge. Coeducation prevails everywhere in the schools. In no other country is the woman who is obliged to earn her own living better cared for. Ail positions and all the professions are open to her. She may be doctor, professor, journalist, manufacturer, without losing her woman's position in the world. The first transportation company of Stockholm was founded by a woman and by her directed with success. Many printing shops employ women exclusively. There has, of course, been the unpre rentable consequence of this, that Swedish women have grown indifferent toward marriage, and the number of independent woman has increased?Renie de Paris. I .

Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indigestion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indigestion. All food taken into the stomach which fails of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in the course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D.
