A young girl, with a pal* y*t beautiful face and large sorrowful eyes, has en­ tered the park unseen, and Is crouched in a secluded corner, her face®l>uried in her hands. • , Once more the truth comes befa.-a her with crushing force. Once more, she sees tier bdirothed lover, Ralph Chap­ man, in company with a beautiful young woman, of whota gossips say, he is r-iwtl, “Car she also be his be- trc.lo d. and does she not know that be is ulio&c? engaged to me?" Constance thinks: wildly to berself, , •They say she is nn heiress and hand­ some; and”-----but her reverie is in­ terrupted, for she hears the sound of hordes' hoofs upon the pavement and t.V merry laugh of young voices near at itaiui. As she turns, to look, two spleiu’id carriages dash by, each drawn by a roblc span o f horses. At a glpnce she recognizes the occu­ pants cf one of the carriages. It is-her Ralph, and with that other lovely wo­ man! • * • • • The following afternoon Constance is seated in the library gazing out of the window and now and. then carelessly turning the leaves of a hook of travels which lies In her lap. . A servant enters hearing a beautiful bouqtiet with a card attached in famil­ iar handwriting. A note accompanies the bouquet In which the writer asks if he may call that evening end Intro­ duce his cousin, Gladys Bertrand, who is visiting his parent*. The note is signed “Ralph. Chapman.” Constance trembles visibly aa she hands a perfumed dote to a servant a few moments later addressed to Mr. Ralph Chapman and containing an in­ vitation of welcome for that evening. That night, arrayed in a gown of purest white mustlh, with red rose* in her belt and in her hair, Constance looked charming as she rose to receive her lover and his cousin, A formal Introduction followed, and as Constance raised her eyes to meet those of Miss Bertrand her cheeks grew pale and then flushed ■altcrm.^ty as she recpgntzed the beautiful woman whom she had seen Ralph with several times. Recovering her natural grace and composure, Constance welcomed her guests, and the time passed so quickly and pleasantly that they did not notice the arrival of a carriage until a servant entered to inform Miss Bertrand that her barouche was at the door. Miss Bertrand explained that she waa <0 attend the opera that evening with Hwould-.faave gifdn excellent wear th is year If they’d been married.

With this improve­ ment in the method of preserving cider has come a change of theory as to the unwholesomeheHs of the beverage. Twenty years ngo cider was denounced \ as a dangerous drink; now it is recom­ mended especially to persons suffering from some stomach disorders, and to those of a rheumatic or gouty tenden­ cy. The French have made a medical study of cider, doubtless partly because it takes the place of wine In parts ot France, and ’the results of such study has led the French experts to the con-, elusion that the presence of malic acid' and of tannin ip cider makes it of great hygienic value. Borne dyspeptics cannot drink It, but in some forms of latest!- j nal trouble It Is helpful, i t Is recom-j mended especially to gouty persons. 4 To be wholesome, however* cider must be In good condition, and espec-! (ally it must not he too hard. The old method of putting up cider In a strong Mid securely corked bottle, along With three or four raisins and a tablespoon -1 ful of sugar to a pint Is still practiced m this country, and the result Is a de- Iglitful beverage with all the efferves- senoc of ohampngne but this method of preserving cider is expensive and troublesome. The French have discov­ ered a cheaper method, and that is t« place in cider that Is to he preserved from hardening a small quantity of the ?ubnltrate of bismuth. I t is found that v partly consumd barrel of rapidly -tardeniog cider may thus he preserved for many months. The hardening pro- :ess is not altogether arrested, hut i t sof-s on very Slowly. The French have also discovered a method of preserving the bright trans- oareney of cider. Most cider when ex- )os:ed to the light becomes clouded, and oronn. This change is due to the chem- cal action of tannin and sometimes of •ron contained in the cider. Save in Ippeaianco the beverage is none the wonm for the change, end Indeed, a cl* ier that quickly turns brown is re ­ garded as especially wholesome for ft T.ie persons because of Its being rich -n tannin. To presrve the clear beauty ■»?c-iklw, however, the French use Crit­ ic add in quantities varying with the natural acidity cf the cider, usually about s-isty grains to the gallon, With c-Itsic- acid and subnitratc of bismuth cider may thus ba kept indefinitely not only fins in color but almost a t a uni­ form condition of fermentation, feed Cent, Nany farmers owning both bottom and upland corn fields, make the mis- taka of using the same seed on both kinds o t aid’s.
