CHAPTER XXIX
Diplomacy was not Martha Chap
in's forte. She was so nervous as
she planned to carry out her 3on'3
wishes that her husband comment
ed upon her siience.
"Are you asleep, Martha?" he de
manded. "You haven't said a word
for a long while."
Clifford saved his mother the
trouble of a reply. "I bet a dollar
she's thinking of something she
rieant to do and forgot," he hazard
ed.
The mother seized eagerly the op
portunity he purposely afforded her.
"Why. yes. she admitted, "I was
wondering if I hadn't set my bread
100 near the kitchen window. There's!
often a draught there, and it seems
to be gettin' cooler. Lizzie will you
come in and help me move it?"
She had botched matters. Clifford
realized, as he heard the ridiculous
request. Without a word of demur,
the girl arose.
"Let me go and move it for you."
the suggested.
"Oh. no, I'd rather go with you,"
the matron insisted.
As the pair went into the house,
Butler walked to the end of the ve
randa.
"It's -iouding over thickly," he I
commented. We'll have rain soon."
Chapin turned to his son. "What's
up?" he asked in a low voice. "Don t
be a fool, Clif, and show that you I
suspect anything about Wade's sis
ter. He has a reason for keeping
her here, and under present circum
stances it's my play to keep on the'
right side of him."
His Clifford scoffed, but
so softly that Butler, at the end of'
:he veranda, did not hear him. "Tell
that to the Marines!"
What do you mean?" Amos be
gan. but checked himself as Butler
returned and sat down.
The son of the house appreciated
that he would have no chance for
a word with Butler unless he spoke
quickly. His father's attitude nuz
zled him. Husband and wife had
been party to the scheme that Wade
lad forced upon them. He ha'ed
t" shock h's mother bv letting her
guess the truth.
Clifford Self Satisfied
There was a better plan than this.

If Butler knew what Wade had'
done, he would soon tell the physi
cian what he thought of him. A
row. would ensue. When Wade'
learned that his duplicity was recog
nized, he would remove his socalled
sister from the farm. The desired;
end would be accomplished without
the Chapins' seeming interference.
Therefore Wade would not vent his
spite on Amos.
Clifford smiled as he mused on
his own cleverness. This was
surely a masterly stroke that he was
plannine. But how have a word
with Butler without making his
ulterior motive too obvious?
As if in reply to his question, his
mother called from the house. j
"Amos, will you come here and
see what ails this lamp, please?"
Clifford knew this was but a ruse
on his mother's part to get his
father out of his way for a mo- 1
ment. As Amos obeyed the sum
mons. the son took advantage of
the chance thus afforded him.
"I say," he said impulsively to
Butler, "don't you want to go for a
walk to-night."
"I always go for a walk before I!
go to bed." John replied. "Why do'
you ask?"
"Well." Clifford tried to speaJc 1
casually, "I Was wondering if you
wouldn't ride a mile or so down the I
road with me when I go. I want to
talk over a little business matter
with you—something I have just
been thinking about. Can you make
it?"
Butler looked towards the speak- ;
er, but it was too dark for him to ;
see distinctly the exprtl-iAon of
young Chapin's face,
"Why, yes," he said slowly, as if
puzzled at the request, "I am going
for a walk anyway. I may as well .
drive with you. if you wish it. down
to the Four Corners, and walk back
home."
"All righu It's about time I was
off. too." CWfrord announced, rising
and stretching.
The Two Men Go Away
He found himself becoming ner- [
vous as he thought of his proposed
revelation to this self-collected man
of the world. He knew that he -
was going to give this quiet chap a
great surprise, and tried to feel se
cure in his consciousness of a duty j
about to be performed.
"I guess I'll go in and tell the
folks good-bv." he remarked. "I'll
be out In a minute.
"Mother:" he called as he entered
the house. "It's time I was start- j
ing."
Martha Chapin hurried out of the j
HARRISBTJRG TELEGRAPH
kitchen where she was talking with
Elizabeth.
"Oh, Clif, dear, are you going so
soon?" she protested.
"I must," her son informed her. i
"You never can tell but what you'll I
get a puncture or a breakdown of j
some kind when you're driving a
car that don't belong to you. And
it won't do for me to lose my train |
for the west to-night. You see, I've
got to take the car around to the j
Midland garage and leave it there— 1
then walk to the station. By the way, j
Butler's going a little way with me, j
then he'll walk back. He's strong'
on this walking business, you know," j
he added, with a laugh that he tried j
to make sound natural.
Elizabe'h Wade, standing in the
kitchen, heard all this speech.
Butler was going to be alone with
Clifford Chnpin, and she could doi
nothing TO prevent it.
She remained in the kitchen when
Clifford, after running up to his;
room for his bags, returned to hiS|
parents, where they stood at thei
foot of the stairs.
"Good-by!" she heard him say as'
he shook hands with his father and!
kissed his mother. "I'll write soon."j
A moment later she heard the!
whirr of the motor at the gate. Then I
silence.
She knew that John Butler and!
Clifford Chapin had gone away to-|
gether.

Tired of Saving?
Are you tired of saving food?
' Tired of making bread from flour
i you never used before, tired of going
; without sugar, tired of having to say,
I "I can't it's against the rules of con
j servation?"
Yes, and there are others who are
' tired. The British Tommy and the
French Poilu are tired of four years
in muddy trenches. The pitiful
"a-m> of civilians behind the lines"
is tired of Hun servitude. Some of
our own American boys may be
growing just a trifle tired of being
C 000 miles away from home with no
immediate prospect of return. ?Co
one hears a murmum from across the
water about the fatigue that lies
heavy upon the whole allied world,
j They are out to win. They may drop
! fof a moment, but there is always
I "the second wind" which never fails
to come. ,
Here at home are persons who
j complain of being tired of their share
i in the war when that share is mere-j
jly judicious eating. They long for
peace as a time of bountiful food,
as if more food in the future were
the only thing for which millions of
men have given their lives.
Grim, determined and uncom
plaining the American soldiers and
j sailors go about their job. War to
them is a task, an opportunity, a
i duty; so why complain?
The morale of this army of ours
is dependent on the strength of those
at home. A whisper of complaint
goes far and grows louder as it re
sounds across the Atlantic.
Imagine the thoughts of a soldier:

0 MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR CHILDREN \J
A Series of Plain Talks to
W&W C. Beery, A.8., M.A. \wjjL '
President of the Parents Association.
(Copyright, 1918, by the Parents Association, Inc.)
Xo. 10. Should Our Children Be Allowed to Use Slang?
YOU may think it sounds clever i
to hear your small child use
slang or say "naughty" words I
occasionally, but when the use of j
! vulgar languages becomes a habit !
: there is no wise mother who is not I
I worried.
1
1 Even the mild use of slang tends to j
! establish a habit of slovenliness in
the use of the mother-tongue which j
j later is hard to break. Many parents'
realize this and yet are at a loss to j
J know how best to deal with the ;
i habit.
! "With my five-year-old boy. there ;
! is one thing I can't control," writes 1
i one mother. "He will use vulgar |
! language. For example, we will all
be seated at the table when Harry ;
! will say, "Gee, I had a great time '
j with the dog! He raced all over the
J blamed yard with that darned old [
i bone.' He knows that I do not ap- ]
j prove of this language, but he will j
! repeat "darn" in some other way just'
!to tantalize. What would you advise ;
j under the circumstances?"
I First, play with this little fellow j
in a way that will cause him to think ■
I you are about the best friend he has. j
, Spend a little more time with him i
I than you have been spending, show I
! an interest in him and thus get him
i to realize that you have in you the |
I power to make him happy or deprive I
j him of happiness.
! Then, when he uses an objection- !
; able word, don't show the least bit !
;of disgust or annoyance. Simply
j get his undivided attention, have him |
j come very close to you and after a
] brief pause, say in a very low voice
standing knee deep in trench mud
with shells bursting all around him.
when he reads in a letter from
America, "We are feeling the war
no-". We get no' more than two pound
of sugar each month, and I have not
seen wheat bread for weeks."
Feeling the war? Well, perhaps.
But not the way the women of North
ern France are feeling it. The strong
chain which pulls for victory must
not be weakened by a single link of
complaint. The rules for saving are
not unreasonable. Remember there
are those in this world who are real
ly tired and are too brave to say so.
. and very slowly, "We will not say.
'darn' any more. That is all I want
|ed to tell you. You can remember
j that, can't you?"
j Immediately after saying this, smile
and continue the play or say some
! thing which will show him that you
| have a truly friendly spirit,
j To often parents obey their natural i
! impulse and show that they are pro- |
voked. It is common to hear expres- i
| sions like this: "I wish you would
1 quit using bywords. No one thinks
jit is a bit smart." But this has just
' enough sting to it to make a boy
! want to retaliate by teasing. The
J method described is much better be
j cause it gets results without antag
i onism. Both parent and child are on
I a friendly basis.
| "Is it possible," asks another
mother, "to teach little boys not to
I swear if their father does and thinks
i it is cute?"
[ If swearing is the only bad habit
| the father has and he is admired by
| everyone and has the absolute confi
dence of his children, then it is al
' most certain that he will teach the
j children to swear in spite of the
| mother's efforts.
1 As a rule, however, even the father
i who swears himself will not want his
j children to use profane language.
!Of course if the father does not
co-operate, the mother must find some
way of linking the habit of swearing
I with other bad habits, such as drink
! ing. observed perhaps in certain
! street loafers or derelicts of the
j town. Thus she can strive to show
I that even if father uses profane lan
| guage, it is not something to be de
sider by really "nice" boys—nor is
it an expression of manliness.

Make This Candy
How about the skins from those
big plums which you peeled for your
luncheon dessert? What did you do
with the apple peelings and the peach
pits? Do you throw away orange and
lemon skins? Does the garbage can
ever see the cores, skins and eyes of
your pineapples?
None of these things should be
thrown away in war time or any
time. They can be used to make a
delicious sort of candy known to
those of the inner circle as Fruit
Leather.
First of all wash all fruit carefully
and then simply cover all these waste
parts with cold water aand bring the
whole slowly to the boiling point,
letting it simmer gently for fifteen
or twenty minutes or until the juice
is extracted. Then strain it through
a jelly bag or double piece of cheese
cloth into an earthenware or enamel
ed dish.
Concentrate this juice by first boil
ing over direct heat, then by dry
ing in the top of the double boiler
or on platters or enamel pans set
in a moderate oven. The juice is
sufficiently concentrated if when, on
cooling, it makes a highly glazed,
tough, dry, leathery jelly. Dry the
leather in thin sheets, sprinkle light
ly with granulated sugar and roll
the sheets like jelly rolls, then cut
them across.
This confection may be eaten any-
