You see nobody knew which way 1 were going but you and him. so lt d be fair certain that if 1 was Interfered with it would prove Puttick guilty." "That was clever, though you ran a horrible risk. Was there any particu lar reason why you hose to go to Sou lis lake?" "Sure. I u-auted to see if any one had '•eva over there looking for youi brooch. On'y us and I*uttkk knew h ! was lost, and you'd said how your fa ther had paid dollars and dollars f.»■ it When a tiling ke that's los: wi>odsmen 'll g» nn'les to try to find in and Puttick must 'a' told the Tem'in sons, for there was tr.-vks all around ' our fire where we boiled the kettle." I "Do you think they found inj brooch?" "Huh! No. I pick' it up myself five minutes Bfter you drop' it. I only kep' St. pretendin' it was lost, as a bait like. I've told yon what happened to me coming back and how I had to shoot Dandy Tomlinson. His shooting at me after I was down give me a sur prise. for I didn't think he'd want to do more than scare me. but 1 guess It was natural enough, for Putii-k was gettin' rattled at me a!wr.-» nosin' s round." "It's all very clear. Novo K«r, and we know everything except who tt was shot B!!l Worke." "I guess M tippy Tomlinson 's the rnai: " "What makes you think that?' "Bill was shot with a 45-73 rifle. Both Puttick aud Dandy Tomlinson carries 30-30's. Muppy'a rifle is a 45-75." . "How can you know what sort of rifie was used to shoot with? The bullet was never found." said Linda. "I fucked up the shell the first time I was over with you." "And you never told me!" said she. "But that doesn't matter. What I'm really angry with you for is your mak ing me promise not to go out yesterday and then deliberately going out your self to draw their fire Why did you do it? If you had been killed I shoulfi never have got over it." "And wh.'t 'ud I have done if you'd t«en killed Miss Linda?" ' , do you mean. Joe?" said Lin daJflftiy *1 moan that if one of the party I were with got killed in the woods while I was their guide I'd go right into Quebec and run a boarding house or become a politician That's all I'd be good for:" CHAPTER XVII. The City or the Woods? ALTHOUGH Dandy Tomiinson's bulict hud passed through Joe's shoulder, it had left a very ugly u.. :ud. but the young woods man's clean and healthy life stood him in good stead, and the process of heal ing went on rapidly. We had fetched a doctor from Priam viile. w ho left a string of instructions, which Linda carried oat as closely as she could. Indeed, she would have de voted most of her time to Joe. but he managed to make her spend a good part of ea« h day out of doors. Some times he would beg for a fish for his supper and she must catch It herself to prove how well she had profited by his teaching. There were half a hun dred things he suggested, not one of which was obvious or trifling, until I marveled at his ingenuity. "You are flndmg the time long. Joe?" I said on one occasion. "No, Mr. Quaritch. the hours slip past quick enough I've never had a lie-by and awhile for thinking since I been a man. There's a good few puz zles to life that wants facing one time or another. I s'pose."' I "Which puzzle is it that you are fac t tng now?" "Mr Petersham want* to be the mak ing of me." "Then you're about the luckie«t young man in this hemisphere." "Just so. and 1 feel his kindness Is raore'n 1 deserve. Ue'd make ine bead warden here for a bit first and then senil some kind of a professor to teach me how to talk aud tlx me up general It." lie paused "Well, that sounds very reasonable." I commented "And after they'd scraped some of the moss off me he'd put me into his office.'' I hid the astonishment I felt at this announcement. "After that it'd be up to me to make good. He'd help all he knew.* "It sounds a very brilliant future for you. November " Joe was silent for a moment. "It does. Mr. Quaritch." he said at length In a different tone. "And it gives me something to think about. So they caught Muppy all right? Him and Put tick 'II find prison a poor place after the woods." "I can feel for them." said 1. "for I am leaving the woods tomorrow my self. I must get back to Quebec." "Huh. yes! There's no call for you to stay longer." "As to that, you'll be here for quite awhile yourself." He made no reply, and when 1 turn ed from the window to took at him he was lying witV his eyes closed, and. thinking he was tired. I left him. At the end of the south veranda was situated a small detached room which we had turned into a workshop, and early the same afternoon 1 went around there to repair a favorite fish ing rod. The veranda was empty as I passed through it. but presently Peter sham joined me. "That fellow November Joe is an In fernal fool"' he said presently. "He is a dolt without an ounce of ambi tion r « ' "In his own sphere"— I began. ' "He is all very well in his own sphere, bnt be should try to rise above it." "He has done uncommonly well for hlmseif so far." I sfid. "He has made good use of his brains and his experi ence. In his own way he is very, very capable." "That is trv.e enough, but he has got about as far as he can go without help. As you say. he has done all this for himself. Now, I am ready to do a good deal more for him. I'll back him In any line of business he chooses to follow I owe him that and more. Heaven knows what might have hap pened to Linda but for him." "You owe a good deal to November." "I am well aware of it." replied Pe tersham. "I am convinced I owe him Linda's life." Something In his tone showed me his further meaning. I dropped my fish Ing rod and stared at him. I knew Linda had enormous influence over her father, but this was beyond imagina tion. "You'd never allow itr" I exclaimed. "Why not?" hp retorted angrily. "Isn't Joe better than the Hipper dude? Or Phil Bitsbeim or than that Italian count with his pedigree from Noah In his pocket? Tell me. where Is she going to find a man like Joe? Why. he's sot it in him to do things big things—and I hope I'm good enough republican not to see the injustice of nailing a fellow down to the spot he was born." "But November would never dare look so high! He's modest." "He'll get over that:"' "I doubt it." I said. "Besides, you are reckoning without Linda. How do you know that she"— "Naturally I don't know for sure about Linda." he answered shortly; then. giaDcing at his watch, he got up. "Just about time to get my mail ready." We had been speaking in low tones, for the subject of our conversation naturally di-l not lend itself to lond talk, and oesides. during ;lie last quar ter of an hour or so a murmur of voii-es from the verandah had warn ed us to be <-arehil. We had not shut the door leading to the veranda, aa it was the only one. and we needed it open for light and air. Petursbam walked toward It. but. instead of step pius out, he turned and laid a hand like a vise on my arm. "Quiet: Quiet for your life!" h( whispered. "She mu«t never know we wer« here!" • But, Joe. you're mistaken. .Toe. I wish it!" It was Linda's voice, shy and trembling as I had never heard it. 'Ah. fhats all yonr great goodness. Miss Lirda. and I haven't earned none of it." I pointed frantically to the door. We must shut that door and shut out those voices, bnt PeteAham swore at me under bis breath. "Darn, you know those binges screech like a wildcat: It can't be! helped, for it would kill her to know we heard a word of this."

"But father would help you. for you know you are a genius, Joe." "All I could ever do lies in the woods. Mtm Linda: woodsways is the whole of it. A yard outside the wood and the meanest citap bred on the streets could beat me easy. I can't tiiank you Lor Mr. Petersham the way I'd like to. for my tongue is slow." Her* his voice fell. "But if you hate the city life so much you must not go to the city." It was Linda again. "Live your life in the woods. I love the woods too." "The woods Is bleak and black enough.to them that's not born among the trees. Them that's lived outside alios wants more. Miss Linda."

HOUSEHOLD Henrietta D. Grauel Corn Starch Desserts Corn is tjfcf most adaptable and' wholesome of all our cereals and in the form of cornstarch it produces the I daintiest dishes we can make. i*ome housekeepers have told me that they have never had a box of this thickening ! agent in their kitchen but use flour for gravies and gelatine for custards. As the cornstarch has real food value this is a mistake. Molded cornstarch desserts lack the transparem-y of the gelatine oues but they look .just as fragile and can be tinted in most delicate colors and mold ed into any shape. Another thing in | their favor Is they are not affected by beat or cold. I By many, Bavarian cream is consid TALKS ered the gem of the whole collection of desserts and. it contains both gelatine and cornstarch, besides cream, fruit juices and chocolate. Buch a dessert is so rich it should t>e served at the close of a light meal, never with other heavy foods. Uso the best cornstarch and, as with the gelatine, always .follow the iustruc tions on the carton as to quantity to be used. The giveu recipe you can easily vary to please your own taste. Cook the mixture of milk, eggs and sugar in a double boiler, when it reaches the boiling point add the moistened corn starch and stir continuously until it is thick. The mixture must be well cooked to have the best and smoothest taste- Flavoring is added when the mixture is almost cold and then fruit | and fruit juices may bo put in also. For pure white custards the white of j the eggs only are used or eggs are! omitted altogether. If chocolate dessert is wanted grate j the chocolate and add it to the hot | milk first, then pour the mixture on the J beaten eggs and return all to the boiler, j Almond, rose, lemon, chopped ; almonds, coffee, caramel and cocoa nut are all better flavors for desserts than i vanilla. Cornstarch desserts may be shaped in i any sort of a mold and will be firm as'l soon as cool. A Blanc-mange recipe that may be ' changed with these various flavors, and ! by addition of nuts and fruits, is made with one pint of milk, three well beaten eggs, three tablespoons of cornstarch moistened in cold milk anil three table spoons of sugar. Heat the milk and pour it upon the beaten eggs, then add the sugar. Return to the boiler and when it is scalding add the cornstarch. Fruit sauces add daintiness to these cornstarch desserts not alone because of their pungency but because of their bright volor. A clear sauce is made with two cups of boiling water thickened with one tablespoon of cornstarch. Adil sugar and fruit .juices to this. Jelly Mlice is niaile bv whipping a glass of crab apple jelly until it is thin and smooth, and a tablespoon of melted butter and a teaspoon of grated nut meg. Heat this in a double boiler with a cup of powdered sugar and when this is almost cool add the beaten white of an egg. A very little pink cake color ing rnav be put in this sauce.
