SOUTHAMPTON, Long Island, July —The grandfathers to the age of 70 and upward have had a meeting and formed themselves into an independent militia company for home defense. Each one is well equipped with a good musket, powder and shot. They have unanimously made choice of Elias Pelletreau, Esa., as er. At their meeting, Squire Pelletreau made a very animating speeeh to them on the necessity of readiness to go into the fleld in time of invasion, and they cheerfully agreed to defend the free and inde- pendent States of America at the risk * of their imes while the young m ing to the de- fense of and Brooklyn where the King's armies are now as- sembling.

All the Long Is- landers who were implicated in the plot are in prison cells or otherwise under close observation, but hundreds of those enemies of their country are still at large, and the coming of the British army and navy has made them more insolent than ever. Capt. Marinus Willett, the veteran Indian fighter, has been leading the Tory roundup in this section, and np better man could be found for he job. Hearing that a Tory band had secreted itself in_the woods near here, he went after them with a small detachment. They showed fight, and he closed in on them. After one Tory had been killed and several others wounded, the others gave themselves up and were led away to jail. The northern shore of the island is being patrolled to prevent the landing of Connecticut Torles, while on the southern shore patriot pickets are thickly posted to shut off the escape of these creatures of the King to the warships and transports in the Nar- rows and at Staten Island.

You wouldn't buy a pig in a poke, would you, when you could get one at the same price that you could look over? Why then consider marriage with a woman of whom you know absolutely nothing except the fairy tales she teils you when she tries to “'sell’’ herself to you?

Leila Marsh, who has always been accustomed to idleness, is left without money. She finds her rich friends of the fair-weather variety and, because she has never been taught to do any- thing, is forced to take a position as lady's maid with Mona Kingsley, very rich woman. In the family are Richard, Mona's husband, and Barry, the son, a spoiled weakling. Mona amuses herfelf by humiliating Leila before others and, because of her beauty, Barry persecutes her in a other way. Richard discovers thiy and is sorry for the girl. He learns that she is trying to fit herself for a better position and|offers to help her. Later he discovers, to his amazement, that his feeling toward the girl is not platonic. Mona in the meantime is amusing herself with a young bache- lor named Ronald Cameron. CHAPTER XXIV. Eavesdropping. As Leila hesitated voices drifted out to her from the dimly lighted room. One was the voice of a man, feverish with emotion. The other was that voice that Leila knew so well, high and sweet, usually tinged with amueement, now slightly an- d—NMona's. ‘“Don’t be silly. Ronald. How can vou think such things, let alone say them? Please be sensible. “Sensible! Is that what you want me to be? Sensitble when you know I'm mad about you! ‘Ronny, please. talk lke that. ‘I know you have, but what do vou think I'm made of, ice and snow, like vourself? You know I'm in love with ou and have been for ages." “In love with me, yes, I grant that. But you'll be in love with many wom- before you meet the right one.” “Don't quibble, Mona. I love you. I've told you so over and over again. ‘And yet you persist in holding me off, in trying to pretend that I don’t care. You come down to me radiant, beauti- ful—like a snow queen. You look at me with something in your eves that beckons, And then vou draw back and tell me to be sensible.” “0f course 1 do, and you must.” 'You don't care for me, then?" ve forbidden you “Then if you do care for me let me take you away.

There was so much pent-up emotion in the boy’'s voice, =0 much feeling that s genuine, He really loved Mona Kingsley, Mona who had ity for love of any kind, 0 encouraged him only be- cause she lived on admiration and could never get enough. It was tragic. Mona was “Ronny, we mustn't di ss this any longer. 1 simply refuse to listen. We're going to be late for the theater as it At that moment Leila made a delib- erate noise and came forward into the room. As she held Mona’s wrap for her and handed her the bag she was conscious of the fact that Mona was eying her sharply. But she did not raise her own eyes; she kept them de- liberately lowered, and a moment later they departed. This conversation that she had over- heard made Leila realize more clearly than ever just what type of woman Mona was. Beautiful as a poet’s dream, but cold as ice and heartless. Ronny had likened her to a snow queen, and she was like that. She did not want Ronny, but nevertheless she encouraged him for his extrava- gant boyish worship of her. It was gratifying to her vanity to know that one of the most popular men in her set was dancing attendance on her. Leila realized, of course, that she had no business to eavesdrop, and yet she had hesitated about breaking in on the scene at its height. She felt that it would have been far more un- comfortable for Mona if she had made an appearance eurlier, and then, too, it wasn't as if she intended to repeat what she had heard. It was none of her business what Mona did, except- ing that now she was more than ever sorry for Richard. As she straightened up Mona's bed. room, hanging up dresses and putting lingerie into drawers, Leila could not help wondering how many times this had happened in Mona's life. How many men had she drawn into her toils only to laugh at them when they grew serfous? And if so, no wonder Richard Kingsley wore a perpetual scowl; no wonder his lips were so Strange indeed if he were anything else but a cynic, particularly if he had loved her very much, and how gould any one help doing that?

As one dietitian said ebout cdbbage. ;'In a raw state cabbage is digested in the ordinary stomach in two and one-half hours. After it has passed through the hands of the ordinary cook cabbage takes fives hours to digest.” Some years ago, it was thought necessary to cook everything. Every vegetable had to be stewed and stewed and stewed swimming in plenty of water. Such treatment renders vegetables practically worth- less. All the mineral salts and vita- mins, for which they are extremely valuable, are boiled out of them. Of course, the loss of this valuable nour- ishment is the principal concern, but such cooking renders vegetables fla- vorle: Cabbage ‘svas put on at breakfast in order to be ready at night. Cab. bage should be quartered and quickly cooked uncovered in boiling salted water untli tender. This will require bout three-quarters of an hour, de- Nndlng upon the age. Then drain the cabbage thoroughly. The water can be saved for use in vegetable or in cream of cabbage soup. Cabbage can also be steamed until tender. This will take about an hour. In this way all of the mineral salts are conserved. Or it can be cooked In a casserole about an hour with a little water, or cream, butter, pepper and salt. Carefully boiled cabbage is delicate, easy to digest and is white and sightly. ‘When corn 1s subjected to terriffic bofll:l"’. it is_rvendered tough and in- digestible. Husk the corn, carefully removing the silk. Put the ears into a large kettle of bolling water. The ‘water can be seasoned with one table- and one tablespoon vine- m. The sugar helps and the vinegar ‘white. e In addition to supplying mineral salts and vitamins, vegetables give bulk to the diet. This bulkiness, due to the fiber or cellulose, has a laxa- tive effect. It is possible by wrong cooking to make vegetables almost valueless. The mineral elements may be lost in the cooking water and thrown away. Onle good rule for making the most of both flavor and food value in cook- ing vegetables is to steam or them instead of boiling them. If they have to be boiled, cook them whole and in their skins rather than in small peeled pieces. Another good way Is to cook them ‘en casserole. If it 1§ necessary to peel ghe vege- tables, only the sirong flavored ones such as cabbage, onions, caulifiower, and turnips should be bofled rapidly in an uncovered vessel with much water. If possible, the water should then be made use of in soup. The mild flavored vegetables-should ‘be cooked in a small quantity of salted water, absorbed at the.end of the cooking period. Spinach really requires no other water than the moisture which re mains after its cleansing bath. Peas can be steamed in their shells. The peas will almost shell themselves with this treatment, and the color, flaver and mineral salts are retained. Vegetables play such an important part in the diet that, when it is neces- sary to cook them, utmost care must be exercised to keep their full valueé and flavor. K. M.—Is canned milk nourishing?

E. writes “1 have been benefited so much by your column that T am coming to you with my trouble. My baby is four months old and welghs 1613 pounds. He weighed seven at birth. He is nursed every three hours during the day and at night. He wakes every night and goes to sleep right after he is nursed. He is a strong baby and raises himself alone, though we don't urge him to. % ‘Whenever 1 eat greens, lettuce, ‘beans or tapioca pudding he throws up soured milk . afterward. Also when 1 eat oranges, radishes and onions. I drink lots of cocoa, eat peas and some frult, and coffee just with breakfast. He is a good baby unless I eat those foods. I have heard it is the vinegar that bothers him, t how can I eat grdens without it?" Answer—It is unusual for a baby of four months, especially such a sturdy rascal, to have any colic due to his mother’'s food. My bellef is that any food which does not cause digestive troubles in the mother, won't hurt the baby, and a good general diet is bet- | ter far than a limited one. It is noticed by most baby nurses that young babies will cry with celic after a mother has indulged in or onions, but otherwise few foods show any bad effects on the baby. I think greens can as well be eaten with just butter and salt, as with vinegar. Try choppiog them very finely, add a hard bolled egg and plenty of butter and salt. A table- u:oon or two of chicken or beef gravy, thickened, helps the flavor. Use lemon juice instead of vinegar, if you must have it “tart.

Pleasé tell me what a woman should most love and es- teem in a man. Answer—There are several varie- tles of feminire affection and each has 1ts distinctive charms. But I should suppose that a woman's purest and m¢ lasting love is.fixed on the man who exhibits the strength and gentleness of a disciplined yet tender and generous soul. He may be rich or poor, famous or obscure, but if he has the iron in his blood which makes him fearless of men and chivalrous toward women he deserves what Thackeray deemed life's best gift, the whole-hearted de- votion of a good woman. Unfortunately, some men and women have no such greatness of soul in themselves, and so are more or less blind to it in others. I trust you will not fall to recog- nize the genuine worth of a real man when he enters your life. Meanwhile, surely there must be some healthy specimens of manhood in your own circle. What about your father, your brothers and their male friends? They ought to furnish a young girl verging on womanhood the standards ‘which she can estimate upright and efficient manhood. ca. ries () New York City.

Answer—If physical values were life's final measurements, your ques- tion would be unanswerable. As it is, it presents an exceedingly intricate and painful problem, the solution of which is not helped by excluding the light of faith. T urge you to remember that some of the most adequate treatments of the difficulty have been made by men and women who believed that “all is for the best.”” To characterize this as a catch phrase is an echo of blank de- spair which gets us nowhere. How- ever, there are other approaches to the question. Science reveals some uses in innocent suffering, or why would doctors allow themseives to be innoculated with deadly disease germs and also innoculate animals with Our Children A F-mil‘y Party. Children love parties of all kinds but the party they like best is the family party. There comes & day when father and mother and the children rise early, scramble through breakfast, scurry around finding things that have hidden themselves just when they are wanted, and at last set sail for some delightful place and occupation. The one I like best is blueberrying. That means early breakfast, full luncheon baskets and a group of prancing children rattling tin pails and measuring tins and squealing at intervals: “Here's the car. Quick, here’s the car. Oh, no, it isn May- be he's broke down. Heh? U-n-cle, do you think’ we'd better go down the hill and see if he's coming? May- be he’s broke down?" But at last the car comes and we all pile in, baskets that rest on your feet and tin pans that rap your un- happy elbows and the dog, which wants to sit on everybody's lap and kiss the crowd wholesale. When it has at last been captured and as- sigied a place on the shelf under the hood, we start off for the foot of the mountain. Once there, we unload, distribute the load and start up for the ledges. The boy wants to carry all the luncheon. He is quite sure that it is not heavy, not heavy at all. And Old Charley has too much. But he is given his sweater and tin pail along with the rest and falls, grumbling happily, into line. The first climb is quite stiff, and after sitting in the car for a time we are not as much like skipping kids as our imaginations pictured. Soon we are warmed up and begin to chatter. Then we miss the youngest lad. We halt and each says: “Why, 1 thought you had him, I saw him with you. Where in the world—"" “Oo-hov. Hur up. There's a ) Im stern and high- principled to a degree.

Phe baffling maladies of tuberculo- sis and cancer now call out the best mental and curative resources of hu- manity, and one may safely predict the arrest of these physical evils hitherto intractable. 1 do not say that my suggestions are a satisfactory reply to your ques- tion. But at least they indicate the large benefits which have sprung either directly or indirectly from the sufferings you so strongly resent. But the only answer that can give you permanent ease and consolation is the one that you bar s cally— Job's great cry, “Though thou slay me, yet will I trust in Thee,” is still man’s indestructible plea and his refuge from the sharpest agonies of mind or body. Indianapolis, Ind. What did Jesus mean by the text, “If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light” (St. Matthew, vi.2)? - ‘Answer—The key word of the pas- sage is “'single,” which, when used of the eve, means steady and fixed direc- tion toward one object, the unwaver- ing gaze of concentrated interest. In the passage quoted this metar phor expresses a life devoted to the things of the spirit. Everything dark, dublous and deceitful is dispersed. Mind and heart alike are flooded wit! the true light of a high and command- ing purpose. 4 The word “single” also means in the Greek classics “generous.” Ac- cordingly, Dr. Moffatt translates the text: f thine eye be generous.”z Frankness and generosity are closely related. Hospitality to ideas and to men is an attribute of the illuminated truth lover. His is the royal type of. mind which ig always open to light and knowledge from any quarter.

He has found the first few berries on the lower ledges. We hustle him on and trail on to the tep, where the ledges are spread with mats of blue, a blue lovlier than any other you will ever see lying at your feet. If you have never seen a moun- tain ledge spread over with blue- berries in the perfection of their bloom you have missed one of the" delights of this earth. “ We fall upon them and gather them, tink, tink, into our pails.

The breeze from the southwest sets in, and thunder heads gather along the horizon. ¥ “Thunder this afternoon,” says the boy, his mouth filled with beans and brown bread. ‘“Hope we get ducked.
