w—m—— No a—— THE PATTON COURIER he Colfax BooKplate To TR SYNOPSIS On a certain Monday morning Miss Constance =Fuller, seller of rare books at Darrow's Book- shop, New York, notices that the first customer is a dignified old gentleman, who saunters into the alcove placarded “Medical Works.” Peter Burton, one of the employees, amazes Constance by telling her he paid $510 at auction for an old law book con- taining a Colfax bookplate. Sud- denly a girl's shriek of “Mur- der!" rings out. The elderly cus- tomer is on the floor unconscious, ~ with his right wrist slashed. Just before the shrieking girl | falls in a faint, she calls out to Peter: “Keep it! Keep it for me!” Peter's sister, Nancy, be- gan that morning working at Darrow’s. Nancy tells Constance of her elopement with Brandon Tower, an elopement which was cut short when Tower attempted to make off with Nancy's suit- case. Constance explains Dar- row’s card-iftdex system to Cap- tain Ashland, a nephew of Mr. Darrow’s. They examine the book Peter paid $510 for and find the bookplate to be a forgery. Constance is asked to assist De- tective Almy in his investigation of the murder of the elderly gen- tleman The girl who fainted, Julia Grosvenor, turns out to be his granddaughter. She can throw no light on the mystery. Constance calls on Julia, who seems relieved when told her cry. “Keep it for me!” was not unheeded. CHAPTER VI—Continued ae “I'l go on from the point where you called for help, then,” said L “I saw you enter the shop, but not again until you ran up the aisle. I was talk- ing to Mr. Burton, who travels for us. We heard your scream; then you came running up the aisle as Mr. Burton rushed down it. You stopped short,” 1 continued carefully, “then you stum- bled—" 1 glanced away, for the poor girl was paler than ever and begin- ning to breathe hard—*“and you called out, just as you fainted: ‘Keep it for me!" Don’t you remember that?” She controlled herself, and nodded. “lI do now,” she said quite frankly, “but you have recalled it. It was completely obliterated from my mem- ory, no doubt by shock. It's a shock to recollect it, too.” “I'm so sorry to upset you.” ' “Anything's better than a gap in your memory. What ... what did people think I meant?” She had remembered Peter, then, when she saw him in the shop, and, since Monday, had been conscious that something had happened which might menace her, yet had been quite unable to recollect what! Evidently, after all, some shock, whatever form it had taken, had affected her memory in this particular. On that point che had told the truth. [I answered quickly: “Why, nobody could tell, Miss Gros- venor, what was meant by an involun- tary, half-conscious exclamation like that, and you said nothing further.” She smiled for the first time, | thought with an air of relief, and re- joined: “I'm ever so much obliged to you for helping me to piece that recollec- tion out. You have no idea how fool ish it made me feel, being unable to remember what had happened when | was still conscious! [I do appreciate your taking the time to come here to help me, when you must be so busy I understand from Mr. Almy your work is with the rire books Darrow's is so famous for. 1 suppose you no sooner buy such thipgs at Darrow's than they are all snapped right up by collectors?” “They go pretty quickly,” said I. “For instance, a few of the modern books from Judge Leavitt's have been sold already.” As Julia Grosvenor had listened to this reply with much more than mere polite interest, 1 risked another feeler: “All the old books from such a col- lection, however, are likely to be held in reserve for special advertising, and not to go on sale for a few weeks. In this case, for instance, we should want to offer the best books to customers who we know have a special interes: in Virginiana—liierature relating tc Virginia.” “1 see. My grandfather’s interest In that line was partly due to the fact that his father was a Virginian, and partly to his own acquaintance with the state.” 1 saw it was time for me to go; for 1 had glven Julia Grosvenor the infor- mation she desired: first, if 1 had no- ticed her strange footgear in the shop that Monday; secondly, if she had in any way given herself away before | she entirely lost consciousness; and. thirdly, if Clarihew’s “Notes” had yet been sold. 1 was pleased to have sat: isfied her, there was evidently so very little that could win the confidence of such a reticent nature. 1 would call it a day. 1 rose, and so did she. “l do hope, Miss Fuller,” she said sweetly, “that we may meet again in happier circumstances.” I left the solitary girl in the dark- ening shadows of the curious, bright colored old drawing room. Her strange story was to remain uppermost in my thoughts, whatever my occupations in the next hours. . . . * . . » 3y Thursday afternoon | had actual iy got the rare-book catalogue under way. | had made a report to Mr Aly about my Normandy terrace visit, and since then he hgd not called on me for anything. So | had spent JFhursday morning assembling the By AGNES MILLER WNU Service © by The Century Co, books to be advertised, and 1 was now ready to write an elegant literary in- troduction to the catalogue. “1 shall begin,” 1 decided, *‘With- out parallel in the annals of col- lectors’ oppor:unities,’ ” and reached across the desk for one of a row of eight newly sharpened pencils. In- stead, I picked up the telephone re- ceiver. “What is it?” 1 inquired, an- swering the summons without too much enthusiasm, A refined accent far off In the dis tance announced itself as Mr, Darrow, “About that . .. ah .. cata logue, Miss Fuller?” “Yes, Mr. Darrow?” “You know what | mean?” “The new rare-book catalogue?” “Ah . .. 1 was thinking about Clarihew’s ‘Notes’ . .. You know what I mean?” “In connection with the catalogue?” “Ah . . . possibly you might in- clude it.” “1 will do so.” “In the interest of culture we might favor the private collector above the trade.” “Yes, Mr. Darrow.” “Then about that , . . ab, , .or der I sent you. . . . You know what I mean?’ “I beg your pardon?” “Certainly you must remember! It had to do with the bookpiate in that book.” “To remove it and advertise it for sale?” “Have you not done so? Why not?” “Because the copy for the trade journal advertisements doesn’t go out until Friday afternoon.” The rest was silence for about thirty seconds. Mr. Darrow was so anxious to be cross to somebody, dis- liking, as he did, to have murders in his shop, that it was simply cruel not to give him a chance. But 1 was ob- durate; and when the thirty-first sec- ond had ticked off my wrist-watch, he remarked graciously: “Suppose you remove it promptly, and include it in the rare-book cata- logue. 1 believe—Captain Ashland is my authority; I am not his equal as a judge—that that bookplate has rather more than common inter- est. . . . You know what | mean? Make sure that you advertisé it as an extraordinary curiosity, a faked mas- terpiece of supreme historic and ar- tistic interest and value. Thank you. You have my entire confi dence, Miss Fuller!” I smiled enthusiastically and made a fluttering ejaculation, for in nine years’ association with Mr. Darrow 1 had mastered the art. “Not a wholly bad idea, in itself,” 1 reflected, hanging up. So first of all 1 sent for the book from Mr, Roberts’ safe. When it ar- rived, 1 got out my apparatus for re- moving bookplates from old books, an operation I frequently performed, since a worthless book that had belonged to some interesting person might bear his valuable plate. This apparatus consisted of a small shining aluminum saticepan, which I filled with expen- sive bottled drinking water conven iently on tap near by; a hot-point de- vice; and a beautiful new white sheet of blotting paper. Having dropped the hot-point into the water, | sat contemplating the worn leather cover of Clarihew’s “Notés.” 1 somehow, at the moment, did not exactly like the idea of sep- arating boeck and bookplate; they seemed to be mysteriously united in a common purpose. | could not, how- ever, define the purpose, nor could | well suggest to Mr. Darrow to think again. 1 thought about Peter, whom I had not seen since Tuesday, as he was constantly cut on business; 1 thought about Julia Grosvenor, and still rather shook my head over her. Everything seemed dismal—No! Here was something entirely heartening out- side the windyw . . . inside the shop. Captain Ashland, rosy and cheery slammed the door in the face of the gale, shook his beautiful dripping tweed coat and hat, and made for my desk with a keen glance that took In every detail of my occupation, and a smile like sunrise. “l say, isn’t this jolly!” cried the captain, “Tea!” “If it only were!” 1 groaned, rue- fully regarding the steaming pot of water and the fair white blotter, which certainly created the mirage of a tea tray oasis in an afternoon desert of gloom. “What I am really supposed to be doing is to be soaking off this everlasting bookplate with this .hot water.” “Orders, eh?” said the captain, af- fably. “Oh, you should be having tea. Why not? There's plenty more water outside.” “Yes, we have no drought—of wa- ter,” I countered, realizing that any foreign visitor to these shores feels chéated if deprived of a sample of typical native humor relating to our characteristic civilization. My double barreled effort, which I admit would not go over big with the Theater guild delighted the simple-minded islander “You certainly should have tea,” he observed. “You Americans take your business so seriously! Now, over in my shop we think we ought to know something about books, and all that— we've been going along somehow since seventeen-seventy—and yet we always knock off every afternoon for tea. Don’t you think you ought to have tea?” 1 felt my powers of resistance grad ually leaving me; the captain was ex- tremely purposeful, despite affable mildness. 1 wondered dimly how the Revolution and all that had really ever held out against the British men tality. “It never occurred to me in the light of a duty,” I began, and then suddenly it did. Captain Ashland, who plainly wanted tea, with a passion incompre- hensible to those reared at soda foun tains, was making a visit possibly “of a certain great importance to the house,” and Mr. Darrow’s confidence in me would become more entire, no doubt, if I pleased his nephew. “But now you point my duty out to me,” 1 finished, “1 see it clearly. As you suggest, it is of a patriotic character Our Constitution forbids cruel and unusual punishments. You shall not go without your tea.” Mentally 1 added, “And 1 shall delay removing that bookplate!” “l say, am 1 putting you out hor- ribly?” beamed the delighted captain. “One never drinks tea in a shop in America, does one?” “There's precedent for it here; sixty years ago this room was a dining room.” The captain looked relieved “The ®ater’'s nearly boiling. Won't you sit down, like King Alfred the Great, and watch it so it dc esn’t burn while 1 get the tea things?” The captain informed me earnestly that King Alfred watched cakes, and that water wouldn't burn; and mount- ed guard while I withdrew. But at the end of the aisle I was halted by Mr. Case, in the act of bounding out of his office. “Miss Fuller! How much of that atalogue is done?” “All the notes. I'm just beginning to write it.” “It must be finished by noon tomor- row.” I stared, then glared. “What kind of notice is this? It can't be done! You know [I've lost the whole of this week—" “Yes, yes—" “And Mr. Darrow has just dumped still more work on me—" “What's that?” “To include and feature that book the Legal federation won't buy—" “Clarihew’s ‘Notes’? Exasperated by the new orders and interruptions, I snapped: “Yes. You know about it, do you, Mr. Case? Then I needn't waste time explaining,” when, even in the dim 1 $2733 REI Apes nate Ingenious Method of In the days when calendars were not known people had a clever way of finding the day of any fixed anni- versary. The only fact you had to know was the day of the week on which New Year's came. A key sen tence of 12 words was used in which one word stood for each of the 12 months. The sentence was: “At Dover dwelt George Brown, esquire, good Christopher Finch and David Friar.” wu Take, for example, the Fourth of July. As July is the seventh month, take the first letter of the seventh word of the key sentence; that is, g;- g is also the sevenih letter or the al- phabet. So begin with Monday, the known New Year day, and count seven days. Thus Sunday will be found to be the 1st day of July and the 4th will be the following Wednes- day. Another illustration: To find the day of the week of a birthday fall- ing on the Tth of May. As May is the fifth month, take the first letter of the corresponding fifth word of the™] key sentence; that is, b; b is also the second letter of the alphabet. So he gin with Monday. the known New light filtering into the aisle between Ascertaining a Date Year's day, and count two days. Thus Tuesday will be found to be the 1st day of May and the birthday wil' be the following Monday. French Census Corrected By Presidential decree, the official population of France has been in- creased by 23 souls. Guide books, his- tories, almanacs and other inform- ative volumes which give the popula. tion of France as 40,745,851 are in er- ror. The figure should be 40,745,874. When the last census was ‘taken the names of 23 inhabitants of the village of Honnecourt, near Cambrai, were arefully jotted down, and then over- looked. The fact that they had not been included in the grand total was discovered only a short time ago, whereupon the President of the re- public and the minister of the inte rior signed a decree correcting the error. Cultivating Laziness “De more a man takes off time to go fishin’,” said Uncle Eben, ‘de mo’ he hates office hours an' complains @ the two rear alcoves, 1 perceived ‘the sudden change of expression on his face, from worry to angry amazement; I had been too abrupt. “Of course I'll do my best,” I added hastily and re- pentantly. And if he didn’t interrupt me again, most generously! “I'm afraid I don’t break bad news welll My excuse must be that it was as much of a surprise to me as to yourself. But 1 didn’t know about your extra work.” “I shall have to think of something exciting to say about that particularly dull book; and to get rid of a bother- some bookplate in It which is some base imitation of a Colfax, Captain Ashland says.” Mr. Case nodded thoughtfully, but said nothing. “Please, why the new order for the catalogue copy to be ready—good gracious !-- tomorrow noon?” “Because Mr. Gregory—the printer, you know—has just sent word that the threatened printers’ strike has been called for next Thursday, unless both sides agree in the meantime. If our copy’s ready tomorrow, it can ba squeezed through; otherwise, we rut a big risk of having no rare-book cat alogue for the holiday trade.” “That would never do. But how cat 1 possibly— “Oh, you can't finish single-handed The rest of the shop force is to assist you, if necessary doing overtime; and all will be suitably recompensed for a loyalty which can be counted on te support the firm's reputation even at a sacrifice of comfort!” Mr. Case looked inserutable as he quoted from obviously Darrow sources. “l guess we are all human beings and willing to stand by in an emer- gency,” | observed. “Your figure of speech means, 1 take it, that we’ll all chaperon each other and work here all night?” “Not quite; only till ten-thirty or eleven, since there are five of us,” smiled Mr. Case. “That ought to help you pretty well, oughtn’t it? And vou’ll have all tomorrow morning for finishing touches.” Suddenly Mr. Roberts. in » state of agitation, shot through the shipping office door, and started for ir. Case's private office. Then he saw us in the aisle and bore down, “Has Mr. Case told yon about the catalogue, Miss Fuller?’ he demanded “Will you get to work on it at once? I've told Miss Wilkes to. send you a stenographer for the rest of the after- noon. Mr. Darrow is exceedingly con- gerned over this new mishap: he fears Captain Ashland will get a most un- favorable impression of the business. So do your best Is there anything else you require?” “l require,” said 1, “to have Cap- tain Ashland removed from my desk where he is sitting in the expectation of having angels or ravens or some- thing bring him a cup of tea.” “What 2 “Yes. He came in and saw me heat ing water to remove a bookplate, and took it so hard that the kettle wasn't boiling for tea, that with that very impression that the number of un- toward events which have occurred here since Monday might rather preju dice a“stranger, I really didn’t know what to do but to offer t& make him some, Do you mind. Mr. Roberts? You know English people think the world is coming to an end if they don’t have their tea; and if they do, they don’t care whether it does or not.” “l believe you did right,” admitted Mr. Roberts, grudgingly, while Mr. Case smiled graciously, and observed that Darrow’s was different, anyhow “Tea’'s nonsense, of course; but it ‘an’t delay you more than a few min- utes. And it's a very nasty cold, wet day.” I sped through the shipping office to the Jackson apartment beyond. Ulys- ses’ wife, a lively person of dusky good looks, considerably younger than her husband, Maebelle by name ‘pro nounced as usual), was enchanted with the idea of a .party and yvillingly lent me the makings for afternoon: tea, of which 1 laid in a liberal sup ply, and a'so her silver-plated pot with the gilt wild roses When | ame back to my desk with these spoils, 1 was not astonished to see that Captain Ashland was being enter tained by Mr. Roberts and Mr. Case.

When very young tender rhubarb of mild flavor is in season, some of It can be used to make good tart jelly.

(Prepared by the Bureau of Home Ec onomics, United States Department of Agriculture.) A great many people like the Chi- nese dish called chop suey, but be- cause of the difficulty of getting cer- | tain of the ingredients, except in very large cities where there are a good | many Chinese, they do not attempt to duplicate the dish at home, The bu- reau of home economics has worked out a very tasty and appetizing com- | bination of foods obtainable almost everywhere that closely resembles the real chop suey in flavor, and makes an excellent “one-piece” dinner or luncheon. It can also be used as a novelty for evening refreshments where something substantial is want- ed, or for gatherings such as church suppers or community meetings, where a little discussion of an unusual dish helps to get people started in a so- ciable manner. ‘Soy sauce, the only strictly Chinese ingredient called for, is sold by many grocers in bottles as worcestershire sauce is sold. Indeed, if it proves quite impcssible to get the soy sauce about half as much worces- ter shire sauce may be used with good effect, although the flavor will be somewhat altered. Here are the directions for making the chop suey: 1 1b. lean pork 4 ths. soy sauce 9 2 cups shredded 2 tbs. fat onion 1 to 1% tsp. salt, 2 cups, celery shred- depending upon ded amonnt of salt - green pepper, in sauce shredded tsp. cornstarch cups meat broth 1 tbs. cold water cups sliced Brazil nuts or Jerusalem artichoke Cover the pork with hot water and simmer until tender.

The flavor is more like that of the fresh berries, and the color is unusually fine. The bureau of home economics tells how to make these sun preserves: 3 cups small berries (about 1 pound) 2 pounds selected berries 2 pounds sugar (granulated) Select large ripe solid fruit, wash well, and cap. Crush and cook three cupfuls of the smaller berries for thre minutes, stirring all the time. Then strain. This amount of. fruit should yield about one cupful of¥ juice. To this juice add the sugar and heat slowly, until it is entirely dissolved. Drop the large berries in- to this sirup and allow the mixture to ©oil tor one minute. Remove any Rays. about one inch apart, on shdllow pans. Boil the sirup to a temperature of 105 degrees C, which requires about ten minutes, or until it is fairly thick. | Pour this over the berries in a thin layer, Cover with window glass, al- lowing an air space on all sides. Place the pans in the sun and turn | the berries over before the next day's | sunning. Repeat this for three days, or until the sirup has formed a jelly. | This amount yields a little over one | pint of fruit. The success of thie | method of preparing strawberries de- pends upon the heat of the sun as well as the firm ripe condition of the fruit used. They should be taken in- to the house before the dew falls. In case there is rain before the jelly state is reached, the pans may be placed in a warm oven. This, however, dark- ens the fruit soméwhat and is only done to prevent loss. One tablespoon- ful of lemon juice to eack cupful of concentrated sirup improves the color, and to some persons the flavor of the preserves, il Plain, inlaid, and printed. | Don’t Ne glect Your Kites! | You Can’t Be Well When Kidneys Act Sluggishly.
