10 HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel Roast Pork and Sweet Potatoes Please tell me how to prepare pork for a company dinner. A few Sundays ago my husband and 1 had a dinner in the country and our hostess brought in a great, big platter with the entire din ner on it. "In the center was a pork roast but it looked like a chicken —it was so brown —and was covered with bread stuffing that was quite crisp. There were baked sweet potatoes arouud the sides of the dish but they were peeled and quite transparent and very yellow. Beside this there was plenty of gravy. It was the richest dinner I ever ate and the apple pie with cream that came after seemed just to belong to it. "I wish to know what cut of pork to buy that will slice as this did; each slice looked like a pork chop. Also how to bake potatoes this way."' This is the season when pork tastes best and there is no better accompani ment than swoet potatoes though some folk prefer sage and onions. The cut you refer to is called the loin and it is the same that cutlets are taken from. When you buy it have the tenderloin left with it though this will add to its cost. The meat dealer will cut the bones so it can be sliced as you describe, or you can do this with a cleaver. You can get the crisp top with bread stuffing or with seasoned flour. A very good way is to make the bread filling with stale bread moistened with cold water and pressed dry. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, arid sage. Mix in 1 WHAT ARE YOU 1 SEEKING?

Pour boiling water around the roast, cover and put in the oven. A covered roaster is really a necessity to well cooked roasts. Wash the sweet potatoes aud cook them until half done in salted water. Drain and pare them -and place around the meat. When you do this you can baste the roast and the dressing if needed, but if the cover fits tightly this will not b"e necessary. Return the roast to the oven and cook until brown. Lift out the potatoes without breaking them; place them on a pan and sprinkle with sugar and return to the oven for ten minutes. Dish the roast and put it in the warming oven. Strain the gravy into a sauce pan and add flour moisten ed with milk to thicken it. Taste and add more salt if needed. By this time the potatoes will be ready to place around the meat. Pour the gravy around the whole if you are sure all like it. It is better to serve it in a tureen as some persons dislike it with vegetables or always have it thin and clear. There is a dietetic reason for serving apples with pork; their acid neutralizes the rich, fat juices of the meat. If you prefer, you can bake very tart apples and garnish the roast with them, serv ing the sweet potatoes separately. To matoes are often baked and served with roasts of pork in place of apples. Sharp jellies and some piquant pickle or pic alilli should also be on the table. yesterday and received injuries which may result in his death.

One of the most interesting characters in fiction, November Joe, well deserves to lake his place in the hall of fame along side his more famous prototype, Sherlock Holmes. In the woods Sherlock Holmes no doubt would have been of little value in ferret ing out criminals, because wood craft was not in his line. In the city, too, November Joe would not have compared in merit of achievement with Holmes, but in the woods every leaf and twig, stone and bit• of moss where il has been in contact with human beings or animals tells its story to the keen eyes and analytical mind of November Joe. - CHAPTER I. November Joe. IT happened that ui the early au tunin of 190S I. James QliarUch of Quebec, went down to Montreal j 1 was at (be time much engaged In an Important business transaction, which after long -and complicated nego tiations appeared to be nen ring a suc cessful issue. A few days after uiy or rival 1 dined with Sir Andrew McLer rick, the < elebraled nerve specialist and lecturer McOiil university, wbu had been fur tna:iy years my friend. On »hnl!:!r evasions I bad usually I remained for half an hour after the I other guests l;ad departed, so thai when he tinned from saving his last I good by Sir Andrew found me choosing a fresh cigar "I cannot call to mind, .litmus, that i' invited you to help yourself to another j smoke," he said. I laughed. "Don't mention it. Andrew; I am nc j customed to yotir manners. All the sanie"- He watched me light up. "Make the' most of it. for it will be some time be- i fore you enjoy another." "I have felt your searching eye upon me more thanonce tonight. What is It?" j "My dear .Inmes, the uew mining | amalgamation the papers are so full of, and of which I understand that you are the leading spirit, will no doubt be a great success, yet is it really worth the j sacrifice of your excellent health?" "But I feel quite as usual." "Sleep as much as usual?'' "Perhaps not," I admitted unwill ingly. "Appetite as go»d as usual?" "Oh, I don't know." "Tush, man, .lames! Stand np." Thereupon ho bejjan an examination which merged into a lecture, and the lecture in due course ended in my de cision to take a vacation Immediately— a loug vacation, to be spi?nt beyond reach of letter or telegram in the woods. "That's right! That's right!" coin mented Sir Andrew. "What do the horns of that fellow with the big boll, which you have hanging in your office, measure?" "Fifty-nine inches." "Then go and shoot one with a spread of sixty." "I believe you are right." said I. "but the worst of it is tbat my guide. Noel Tribonet. is laid up with rheumatism and will certainly not be fit to go with me Just now. Indeed, 1 doubt if he will ever be much good in the woods again." "But what if 1 can recommend you a new man?" "Thanks, hut 1 have had the trouble of training Noel already." "I can guarantee that you will not find it necessary to train November Joe." "November .Toe?" "Yes. do you know him?" "Curiously enough. I do. He was with me as dishwasher when I was up with Tom Todd some years ago In Maine. He was a boy then. Once when we were on the march and were overtaken by a very bad snowstorm, Todd and the boy bad a difference of opinion as to the direction we should take." "And Joe was right?" "He was." said I. "Todd didn't like It at all." "Tom Todd had quite a reputation, hadn't he? Naturally he would not like being put right by a boy. Well, that must be ten years ago. and Joe's twenty-four now." "And a good man in the woods, you •■j'* "None better. The most capable on this continent. 1 vorily believe. If Joe Is free and can go with you. you wli; get your moose with the sixty tueii horns. J understand that he has en tered into some sort of contract with the provincial police." "With the police?" I repeated. "Yes. He is to help them in such cases as may lie within the scope of his speclnl experience. He is. indeed, the very last person 1 should like to have upon my trail had I committed a murder. He Is a mo3t skilled and minute observer, and you must not for get that the speciality of a Sherlock Holmes is the everyday routine of a woodsman. Observation and deduc tion are part and parcel of bis daily existence. He literally reads as he runs. The floor of the forest Is his page. And when a crime is committed In the woods these facts are very for tunate. There nature is the criminal's best ally. She seems to league herself with him in many ways. Often she delays the discovery of his ill doing: she covers bis deeds with her leaves and her snow; his track she washes away with ber rain, and more than all she provides him with a vast area of refuge, over which she sends the appointed hotrrs of darkness, during which be can travel fast and far." "All things considered, it Is surprls leg that so many woods crimes are brought home to their porf>etrßtors." "There you are forgetting one very important point. I have been present at many trials and the most dangerous witnesses that I have ever seen have been men of the November Joe type that Is, practically illiterate woodsmen Their evidence has a quality of terrible simplicity. They give minute but un answerable details. All their experi ences are first hand. They bring for ward naked facts with sledge hammet results. Where a town bred man would see nothing but a series of blur red footsteps in the morning dew. an ordinary dweller In the woods could learn something from them, but No vember Joe can often reconstruct the man who made them, sometimes In a manner and with an exactitude that has struck me as little short of mar velous." "I see he has Interested you." said 1, half smiling. "I confess he has. Looked at from a scientific standpoint I consider him the perfect product of his environ ment. There are few things I would enjoy more than to watch November using his experience and his super normal senses in the unraveling of some crime of the woods." I threw the stump of my cigar into the fire. "You have persuaded me." I said. "I will try to make a start by the end of the week. Where is Joe to be found?" "As to that. I believe you might get into touch with him at Harding's farm. Silent Water. Beaiice.*' "I'll write to him." "Not much use. He only calls for letters when he feels inclined " "Then I'll go to Harding's and ar range the trip by word of mouth." "That would certainly be the best plau. and. anyhow, the sooner you get into the woods the better Besides, you will tie more likely to secure ,loe by doing that, as he is inclined to be shy of strangers." I rose and shook hands with my host. "Remember me to Joe," said he. "1 like that young man. Goodby and good luck." • » • • • • * Along the borders of Heauce and Maine, between the United States and Canada, lies a land of spruce forest and of hardwood ridges. Here little farms stand on the edge of the big timber, and far beyond them, in the depths of the woodlands, lie lumber camps and the wide flung paths of trappers and pelt hunters. I left the cars at Silent Water and rode off at once to Harding's, the house of the Beauce farmer where I meant to put up for the night. Mrs. Hard ing received me genially and placed an excellent supper before me. While I was eating it a squall blew up with the fall of darkness, and 1 was glad Enough to find myself in safe shelter. Outside the wind was swishing among the pines which inclosed the farmhouse, when inside the telephone bell rang, which connected us with' St. George, forty miles distant, rang suddenly and incongruously high above the clamor of the forest noises Mrs. Harding took up the receiver, ind this is what I heard. •*My husband won't be home tonight; He's gone into St. George. No. 1 have io one to seud. But bow can I? There is no one here but me and the chil dren. Well, there's Mr. Quaritcb, a «port, staying the night. No. 1 couldn't "«k him." "Why not?" I inquired. Mrs. Harding shook ber bead as she stood still holding the receiver. She was a matron of distinct comeliness, and she cooked amazingly welt. "You can ask me anything," 1 urged. "They want some one to carry a message to November Joe." ex plained. "It's the provincial police on the phone." "I'll go." "Joe made me promise not to send any sports after him."' she said doubt fully. "They all want him now he's famous." "But November Joe is rather a friend •f mine. I hunted with him years ago when he lived on the Montmorency." "Ia that ao?" Her face relaxed a tittle. "Well, perhaps"— she conceded "Of course I'll carry the message." "It'a quite a way to hi* place. No vember doesnt care about strangers. He's a solitary man. Yon must follow the tote road you were on today fif teen miles, turn west at the deserted lumber camp, cross Charley's brook. Joe lives abont two acres up the far bqnk." She lifted the receiver. "Shall I Bay you'll go?" "By all means." A few seconds later I was at the phone taking my instructions. It ap peared that the speaker was the chief of police in Quebec, who was of course well known to me. I will let you have own words. "Very good of you, I'm sure. Mr. Quaritch. Yes. we want November Joe to be told that a man named Henry Lyou has been shot in his camp down at Big Tree portage, on Depot river. The news came in just now, telephoned through by a lumberjack who found the body. Tell Joe, please, success means SSO to him. Yes, thnt's all. Much obliged. Yes. the sooner be hears about It the better. Good night." I hung np the receiver, turned to Mrs. Harding and told ber the facts. "So November is connected with po lice work now?" "Didn't you read In the newspapers about the 'Long Island Murder?'" I remembered the case at once; It had been a nine days' wonder of head line and comment, and now I won dered how It was that 1 missed the mention of Joe's name. "November was the man who put to gether that puzzle for them down In "And placed an excellent supper before me." New York," Mrs. Harding went on "Ever since they have been wanting him to work for them. They offered bitu SIOO a month to go to New York and take on detective jobs there." "Ah, and what had he to say to that?" "Said he wouldn't leave the woods for a thousand." "Well?" "They ofTered him the thousand." "With what result?" 'Tie started out iu the night for his shack. Came iu here as he passed and told my husband he would rather be tied to a tree in the woods for the rest of his life than live on Fifth avenue. The lumberjacks and the guides here abouts think a lot of him. Now you'd best saddle Laura—that's the big gray mare you'll find in the near stall of the stable—and go right off. There'll be a moon when the storm blows itself out." By the help of the lanteru 1 saddled Laura and stumbled away into the dark and the wind. For the chief pari of the way I had to lead the mare, and the dawn was gray in the open places before I reached the deserted lumber camp, and all the time ray mind was busy with memories of November. Bo.v though he had been when I knew him. his personality had impressed itself upon me by reason of a certain ade quate quietness with which he fulfilled the duties, many and disagreeable, which bearded old Tom Todd took a delight in laying upon his young sboul ders.

The dog was valued at SSO. A DANGEROUS EUROPEAN INSECT ATTACKS PINES Trees In Eastern States Injured and United States Department of Agri culture Recommends Immediate Treatment For Control Washington, I). G\, Nov. 4.—The U. S. Department of Agriculture is call ing attention to the introduction and establishment in America of the Euro pean pine shoot moth, which threatens to cause serious loss. This insect is a small orange-red moth, the larva of which hollows out new buds and kills or injures the ends of twigs of pine trees. This injury causes a deformity which is serious in ornamental tree;>, and in trees grown for lumber makes a crooked growth and a consequent waste when the tree is cut. In Europe the insect not only at tacks all native pines but is equally injurious to American species cultivat ed there. The department states that the young larvae came into this coun try within the buds on imported pine seedlings which have come from France, England, Holland, Belgium or Germany. The department's investiga tors have discovered it in only ten lo calities, in six States from Massachu setts to Pennsylvania, but it is likely that it may be found in other localities. It has not been found in any native trees in the forest, and with only one exception has always been on European pines in nurseries and private parks. There is no evidence to indicate that it has been in this country more thau a year except on Long Island, where it has existed for more than two years. There are several native pine shoot moths, but none of them inflict the serious injury of the European species. The department hopes that the new pest may be stamped out before it be comes too widespread to be controlled. At present the problem of its elimina tion is confined mainly to nurseries, but if it once get 9 into the native pine for ests the experts think that it would be beyond control. In its larval stage the moth is so effectively protected in the buds and shoots that it can not be reached by any insecticide, and the only method of getting rid ot' it is to prune out and destroy the shoots which contain the insect. This should prefer ably be don e during the fall and win ter. Though it is easier to locate the injured tips and shoots after growth has started in the spring, it is safer and better for the tree to have it done in the fall. Measures for control, to be effective, cannot be accomplished with out the co-operative action of all who grow or plant European pines or deal in them.
