Again, I was not in a position to support a wife, and, as I see now, my affections were inspired rather by Mol- lie’s excellent cheesecakes and succu- lent jam rolls—which invaria made me sigh for half a dozen appetites— than by her buxom figure and a like cheeks. When I informed my “chum ters, of my resolve, he looked queerly, thrust his hands in his pock- ets, and said, “Oh, Lor’!” “T mean it,” I said. “Well, I always thought you were a bit sweet on her, ever since you broke me your arm and she used to give you cream and stuff. She’s a jolly girl, is Mollie I wouldn’t mind marrying her myst “You'll be my best man, then?” I asked. “Certainly, but look here, old chap, rout have you thought iously this?” and he hooked his arm through mine and drew me aside. “Seriously?” “Yes; have you thought wh of things people want who ge ried?” “What sort of things?” “Oh! chairs and tables a heap mar- nd—and fry- ing pans. Where do get ‘em from? They Jot.” I was silent. To tell the truth, I had not considered the practical side of the question. My affection was above all sordid de- tails. “There’s a house, too,” Butters pur- sued. “Where are you going to li ig “Oh!—er—we shall go on as we are for a bit.” Butters stared. “‘You mean, Mollie’ll stop at the docs tor’s, and you'll go on having les- 'Yes.”” “Oh! but that’s ‘rot,” you know.

At the registry office?” I nodded. “I wonder how much it costs. I shall have to ask.” “You'd better ask Mollie first,” But- ters returned. “She may object to a secret marriage. There'll be no call- ing her name out before the congrega- tion or cake or presents. I say, old chap, fancy a wedding without cake or presents. Why, people get heaps of nobby things when they’re married.

It’s most as cheap to keep two as one, Master Caraway, an’ she’s a capita’ manager. I don’t see as ’ow I can do better.” “Who is she, James?” I asked, not, it must be confessed, without a touch of misgiving. He looked at me in surpri “Who?

Perhaps I had some thought of de- stroying that missive, but then I re- flected that such an act could do no good. Everything was practically set- tled. Mollie was lost to me forever. I told Butters, and asked him to take back the ring, as I had no further use for it, but he refused to do this, and we fought it out at the end of the cricket ground behind the trees. I got a black eye, and also fifty lines for fighting. Mollie did her best to con- sole me by giving me some of her best cheesecakes.

Certainly no one can question the right of a farmer te make over his butter if it has too much color or salt or too much water init. The line cannot be drawn against the renovating process on a larger scale, for what is moral on a smali scale is moral on a large scale. But when to the simple renovation is added adulteration by forma- line or borax or any other chemical the question assumes a seriousness that makes it the duty of the law to see that the product at least branded with a name that shall identify it to the buyer. Massachusetts has just passed a law defining process butter as renovated butter. A delegation of the process butter men recently waited on the governor and asked him not to sign the hill till this name had been eliminated er changed. They suggested “sterilized” butter as an acceptable Substitute. Happy thought! They would legally disguise the true charac- ter of the renovated product by a name that has obtained great honor and pop- ulari They would set it on high, far above mere amery but- ter.
