She took the piece of paper Into her slim little hands and read It, slowly nodding her bead, as If the words only confirmed some earlier knowledge of the threat they contained. Then she lifted her head, and her eyes were bright with mirth as Ardmore's wondering gaze met them. "Did you get the Jug?"

Faraa a Irrigated SALAD. The ingredients for a salad are at hand, the vegetables left from dinner; it they have been served with a sauce, this can be washed off before putting away. Remnants of fruit that are not enough to serve as a fruit course make a delicious salad. Fruit Is nice served with a heavy .sirup, a French dressing or a mayonnaise. When serving a French dressing on fruit It is well to use lemon Instead of vinegar, and whipped cream may be added just before serving. Cold cooked string beans make a most satisfying salad with a little onion and a French dressing, all heaped daintily on crisp leaves of let tuce. For a beet salad cut enough cold cooked beets Into dice to make three cupfuls, put into a salad bowl, add five tablespoonfuls of olive oil, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, a teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of red pepper. Arrange on a bed of let- tuco on a cold dish; pour the dressing over It and serve. Celery and hard cooked eggs with drensing make a wholesome salad. Tips for the Worker.

Miss Dangerfleld rested one of those diminutive hands of hers on the pile of documents, letters and tele grams the secretary had left behind him; with a nod of the head she In dicated the governor's desk In the inner room, and It, too, was piled high with documents. "I supposed," faltered Ardmore, "that In the absence of the governor the lieutenant governor would act I think I read that once." "You must have read it wrong, Mr. Ardmore. In North Carolina, In the absence of the governor, I am gov ernor! Don't look so shocked; when I say I, I mean I me! Do you understand what I said?" "I heard what you said. Miss Dangerfleld." "I mean what I said, Mr. Ardmore. I have taken you into my confidence because I don't know you. I don't know anything about you. I don't want to know anything about you. I'd be ashamed to ask anybody I know to help me. The people of North Carolina must never know that the gov ernor is absent during times of great public peril. And if you are afraid, Mr. Ardmore, you bad better not ac cept the position." "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you," blurted Ardmore. "I'm not asking you I would not ask you to do anything for me. I am asking you to do it for the Old North State. Our relations, Mr. Ardmore, will not be social, but purely official. Do you accept the terras?" "I do; and I warn you now that 1 shall never resign."
