How to Fix the Turkey
What would Thanksgiving Day be
without the Thanksgiving dinner I
wonder? It is really the turkey that
makes the feast and in almost every
instance the bird is worthy the honor
given it.
Benjamin Franklin once wrote a plea
to make the turkey the National bird.
He said the turkey was a more re
spectable bird than the eagle; that it
was a native American too, and that
it was especially fitted for the proud
position because it would not hesitate
to attack a British soldier wearing a
red eoat should one invade its grounds.
It seems as though this was a sort of
a prophecy for certainly the turkey is
our emblem of peace, happiness and
prosperity this year.
Every family has notions of their
own concerning the best bird and when
it is possible oue is fattened for a
fortnight or more before it is led to the
block and through various processes ot
dressing, stuffing and roasting, .lust to
think about the various ways of fixing
the turkey hritigs a vision of juicy
richness before the eye. The turkey
is not a dry meat bird any longer for
the new roasters that are self-basting
keep the flesh moist.
To have the best flavor the fowl
should be killed at home and dressed
as soon as dead. After it is plucked
and dressed it should be singed and
plumped by being dipped for a fen
seconds into scalding water and then
into cold water. Then wipe inside and
outside the bird with a clean drv cloth

FARMING BY MAIL POPULAR
More Thau IH.OOO Persons Study State:
College Course
State College, Pa.. Nov. 23. —More|
than 19,000 men and women of Penn
eylvania who could not find the time
or funds to attend college have studied!
agriculture by correspondence with the;
Pennsylvania State College. About 50,
per cent, of them have completed the:
courses, and were awarded certificates
uf proficiency.
Professor T. I. Mail's, who has chargp
©f the long-distance instruction, said
the eourses attracting most attention!
■were poultry- raising, farm book keep-'
ing, gardening, fruit growing and gen-i
eral agriculture. He added that the!
new eourse in cooking is .rapidly gain j
ing in popularity.
Juniata's First Freeze
Ijewistown, Pa.. Xov. 23.—The Ju
niata river was fro/en over yesterday
morning for the first time this season. >
The stream is so low that it was only!
necessary to freeze about the rocks to!
dam back the slush ice.
au<l keep iu a cold place for twenty
four hours to season.
If you have 110 basting |iau you must
remember to baste your turkey every
ten minutes all the while it is roasting;
this is 110 light service but the way the
rich eeat of golden brown will grow
under vonr attention will repay you.
It you have the covered basting pan
you need only stuff the bird—T feel
sure you want smiling, though some
folks never make it—and season it and
put it in the pan and in the oven. The
length of time you will bake it will
depend 011 the size. Along toward the
lust period of baking open the baster
and dredge flour over the bird. Do not
cover again but let flour brown lightly.
Now close up the pan and finish the
1 ousting.
M'hen the cooking is finished put the
bird on a roomy platter and if you iu
-send carving it at the table omit all the
garnishes for these are iu the carver's
• way. Ham goes wonderfully well with
turkey meat so it is often used with it.
Little pig sausages too are liked with
turkey.
li you are so fortunate as to have a
hig family of friends aud loved ones 011
iliis friendly day have both a turkey
and a small roast pig in tiie place of a
great basso profundo bird or two me
dium sized ones.
If you do this have baked, stuffed
tomatoes and baked apples too tucked
somewhere into the dinner for they will
lOimteract the too rich meats and per
mit you to enjoy the other good things.
CATTLE PLAIiLE PLOT FALSE
Report of Dissemiuation to Prevent
Meat Export for War Denied
Washington, D. C., Nov. 23.—An of
' filial statement issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture last night an
nounced that sensational reports that
'i the live stock fcot and mouth disease
I was being purposely disseminated, to in
terfere with American exportation of
meat to the warring nations of Europe,
had been investigated and found to
have no foundation whatever.
The reports, the statement said, were
traced to - 'a story invented by an ir
responsible individual in Lincoln. Neb."
i This man told a State official that he
had overheard two men equipped with
hypodermic syringes say something to
the effect that they would see that the
allies got precious little meat from the
I nited States. Later, the statement
-aid, he was confronted with inconsist- 1

it. Landed on fc>l Island wit!: bi.-
wife the night I left, they were there
• until two days ago; took them nil tlieii
j time and Sam's to get my foxes. Then
: they brought hiui over here."
And now I will leave out any ac
count of the events of the next six
, teen hours which we spenl in the
r.kiff and pick up the thread of 'his
j history again with Stafford knocking
at the door ,-f the Jitrgensens' cabin
on Upsalu island. We had landed
there after dark.
Joe and I stood hack while Ft afford
faced Uie door. It. was thrown open,
and a bl 1 ? gingerbread Swede demand
ed bis business.
"I've just called around to take back
my fores." said Stafford.
"Vot votes?"
"The blacks and silvers you stole."
"You are mailt!"
"Shut it!" cried Stafford. "Ten days
ago you and your wife, having decoy
ed me away to Valdez, went to Kcl is
land. You were there • ight days, dur
ing which time you cleaned oat very
animal 1 owned uu it. I know you
didn't kill theui. though yon tried lo
make me believe you had by leaving
the skinned carcasses of a lot of led
foxes. Three days ago you left F.el
island."
As he spoke I saw the wizened fig
ure of a woman squeezing out: under
the big Swede's elbow. She b»'d a nar
row face, with blinking, malevolent
eyes, that she fixed on Stafford.
"Zol Vot then?" jeered Jtirgensen.
"Then you rowed over to Kdith is kind
«ud marooned my man Aleut Sam. who
was in the robbery with you."
The big Swede snatched up a rifle by
the doop and stepped out.
"Get out of here," he cried, "or"—
He paused on catching sight of .loe and
, myself.
"I'll go if you wish it." said Stafford
dangerously, "but if I do it'll be to re
turn with the police."
"And look here, Mr. Dutchman."
broke in Joe gently, "if it comes to
that yon'U get put away for a fifteen
years' rest cure, sure."
"Who are you?" bellowed .Jurgensen.
"He's the man that told ine your
wife was weakly and spilled the water
from the kettle when she lifted It, for
he found her tracks at my place by the
stove. He's the man that discovered

Edith Island when we knew Sam had
no nx with him. He's the man I owe
a lot to."
"Me also," said Jurgensen venomous
ly as he bowed his head. "Vot you
vaut—your terms?" he asked at last.
Stafford had his answer ready. "My
own foxes—that's restoration—and two
of your* by way of Interest—that's ret
ribution."
"Ant If 1 say no!"
"You won't. Where's my foxes?'
Jurgensen hesitated, but clearly there
i could be only one decision in the cir

natural life as near an possible or their

get affected"—
"Poof! I haf rend of all that in

"Yes," put iu Joe, "you read a good

CHAPTER XIII.
Linda Petersham.
NOVEMBER JOE had bidden me
farewell at the little siding
known by the picturesque t
name of Silent Water.
" 'Sped you'll be back again. Mr. j
Quaritch. as soon as you've fixed them j
new mining contracts, nud then, may- j
be. we'll try a wolf hunt. There's a j
tidy pack comes out on ttie Lac Nolr
ice when ii's moonlight."
But the shackles of business are not
so easily shaken off. and the spring
had already come before another vn- i
cation in the woods had begun to i
merge Into possibility. About this j
time Linda Petersham ram; me up on
the telephone and demanded my pres
ence at lunch.
"But 1 am engaged." said I "What
is It?" I
"I will tell you when you come. I
waut you."
I made another effort to explain my
position', but Linda had said her last
word and rung off. I smiled as I call-1
ed up the picture of a small Greek ;
head crowned with golden hair, a pair
of dark bine eyes and a month wear
ing a rather imperious expression.
The end of it was that 1 went, for I
have known 'Linda all her life. The ,
Petersham family consists of Lluda ;
and her father. :nul. though in bnsi- j
uess relations \fr. Pe>rsham is a pow-!
er to be reckoned with, at home he ex-1
ists for tiie sole apparent purpose of 1
carrying out his charming (laughter's
wishes. It is a delightful house to go
to. for they are the happiest people I
know.
I found myself the only guest, which
surprised me. for the Petersham man-!
sion has a reputation lot' hospitality.
".fames. I want you to do this for
me. I want you to persuade pop not j
IO do something."
"I? I persuade him? You don't |
need me for that—you. who can make!
liim do or not do anything, just as you :
wish!"
"I thought I could, but I find I can't." [
"How is that'!"
"Weil, he is set on going back to ■
Kaliuacks."
"Kalmuck.? I know it. is the place
.lulius Fischer built up in the moun
tains. He used to go shooting and
fishing there."
"That is it. It's a place you'd lore
lots of good rooms and standing way
liaelf on a mountain slope, with miles
of view and a stream tumbling past
the very door. Father bought it last
rear and with it all tile snorting rights
Julius Fischer claimed. The woods are
full of moose, and there nre beaver and
utter, and that's where the trouble
i-ame in."
"But Fischer had trouble from the
liay he went up to shoot at Kalmucks,
lie had to run for it. so I was told.
Didn't your father know that? Wbj
did Mr. Petersham have anything to
do with ilie place?"
"Oh, it was just one of pop's no
tions. I suppose." said Linda, with the !
rather weary tolerance of the modern
daughter.
"They are a dangerous lot round
there."
"He knew that. They are squatters
—trappers who have squatted among
those woods and bills for generations.
Of course they think the country be
longs to them. Pop knew that, anil in
his opinion the compensation Julius
Fischer offered and gave them was In
adequate."
"It would be," 1 commented. 1
could without effort Imagine Julius
Flßcher's views on compensation, for
1 had met him in business.
"Well, father went Into the mutter,
and he found that the squatters had a
good deal to be said for their side of
the case, so that ho did what he
thought was fair by them. He paid
them good high prices for their rights,
or whot they considered to be their
rights, for In law. of course, they pos
sessed none. Every one seemed pleased
and satisfied, and we were looking for
ward to going there this spring for the
fishing when news enme that one of fa
ther's game wardens had been shot at."
"Shot at?"
Linda nodded the Greek bead 1 ad-

mired so much.
"Yes. Last autumn father put on a
couple of wardens to look after the
game. and they have been there all
winter. Froui their reports they have
got on quite well with Ihe squatters,
; and now suddenly, for no reason that
they can guess, one of them, William
Worko by name, has been fired upon in
his camp."
"Killed?" I asked.
1 "No. but badly wounded. He said he
! was sure the bullet conld have been
put into his heart just as easily, but it
was sent through his knee by way of a
notice to quit, he thinks."
"Those folks up there numt be half
savages."
"They are. btit that's not all. Three
days ago a letter came, meant for fa
ther. but addressed to me. Whoever
wrote it must, have seen father and
knew that he was not the kind of man
I who could lie readily frightened, so
they thought they would get at. him
through me. It was a horrible letter."
The words were written upon a sheet
torn from an old account book. They
rail as follows:
You. Petersham, you mean skunk!
Don't you come In our wods unles yor
j willing to pay five thousand dollars. Bring
the goods nnd youl be told wlier to put it,
so It will come into the hands of riters.
Dollars ain't nothin 10 you. but (hey can
keep an expanding bulet out yor hide.
"Do you think it is a hoax?"
"Well, no, 1 can't honestly say I do."
"Which means, in plain language,
that if father does not pay up tbat
000 he will be shot."
"Not necessarily. He need dot go up
to Kalmacks this fall."
"Rut of course he will fro: He's more
set on going tlian ever. You know fa
ther when he's dealing with men. And
he persists in his opinion that the let
ter Is probably duly bluff."
I considered for a little before I
spoke. "Linda, have you really sent
for me to try to persuade your father
that it would be wiser for him not to
go to Kalmacks?"
Linda's lip curled scornfully. "I
i should not put It Just like that! I can
imagine father's answer If you did.
I'm afraid it will be no good letting
you Hay anything you don't know how."
"You mean that T have no tact?"
She smiled at me. and I Instantly
forgnre her. "Well, perhaps I do. but
you know It Is far better to be able to
give help than Just to tall: about it.
Father is determined on going to Kal
macks. and I want you to coma with
us."

FIRE PANIC KILLS EI«BT <
Dwellers in Tenement Die With Safety :
at Hand
New York, Nov. Eight persons . i
are dead. two others are so badly burn j
ed that they may die, and seven more, j
including two fire captain?, are injured !
as the result of a fire of suspicious|
origin early yesterday which virtually!
destroyed a five-story jjriok tenement;
house ou East Twenty-ninth-street. As!
a result of disclosures made to the po !
lice by a tenant who has been receiv
ing Black Hand letters for the last'
year, and upon whom a demand for J
SI,OOO was made Friday under threat i
of bodily harm, detectives last . night j
were seeking men known to them as
Black Hand leaden, whom they suspect j
of responsibility for the fire.
Panic which seized the tenants when
they were aroused by rescuers caused!
the loss of life, the police say, as the!
building was amply equipped with tire |
escapes. Seven bodies were found ii; '
the hallway on the top floor, near a
stairway leading to the roof, when the I
tlnmes had been subdued after a"
hour's fight by several fire companies
and two fire boats. Yesterday after->
noon Mr«. Annie L'atnldo, a tenant who
had been rescued, died from heart fail
