J. Walsh.) SCAR L. REESE rolled a black cigar savagely back and forth between his teeth, at every mo- tion resisting a desire to bite the thing in two. He felt like biting something in two, as if he didn't have grief enough without Harry going on like this. The business needed him in St. Louis, he was needed half a dozen places, and here he was tearing across the country to Portland because that son of his could not keep out of mis- chief. It was a fight this time. Last time it was a car wreck. Why the deuce couldn’t the boy behave himself? He had everything. His father had never denied him a thing. Harry had not the slightest ground for complaint, and yet he never seemed satisfied. Well, Reese had decided he wonld show him this time. He wasn't going to stand for any more of it. He'd give the young cub a dressing down he'd never forget. What were these young fellows coming to anyway? Now, in his day he didn’t have cars and mo- torboats and money to spend. He had to hustle for everything he got. He hadn't wanted his son to go through that. He had seen to it that the boy didn’t have to. And what sort of re- ward was he getting? The thing hurt Reese a lot more than he would admit, even to himself. He had hoped a lot and dreamed a lot and—oh, well— He shrugged his shoulders and glanced through his open window. He could make out nothing in the flying darkness, but he knew that the train was passing through desert country now. Just as well that there wasn’t any lighit to see the bare hills and deep gullies and cactus-covered flats. Reese did not understand what the desert had ever been made for. Of all the earth it was the most worthless. With- out the railroad it was less than noth- ing. Before the railroad it had robbed men of strength and hope and often life, and it gave nothing in return. He never saw a stretch of barren land without a feeling of strong distaste and a desire to get away as quickly as possible. Reese had his arms up to lower his window when the crash came. It wag a very thorough spill. There were no deaths, but there were enough serious rasualties to make railroad officials rub their chins thoughtfully for a good many weeks. A span of the old wood- en bridge over the Drosky hollow gave way. It was the irony of fate that all material was at hand to begin the erection of a new concrete bridge the following week. Reese was hurled through the win- dow as his car left the rails. He lit on extremely lumpy ground and rolled down a steep slope in the company of sticks and pitch-smeared pinion cones, boulders of various sizes and the half of an ant-hill. He brought up on ground in the circle of light from a fire, pawing at pitch and ants. He tried to get to his feet and fell back with a grunt of pain. One foot seemed to be useless. A voice spoke close to him and he turned his head dazedly. “Where you hurt, mister?” Reese looked into the kindly eyes of a gray-headed man who was stooping over him, “It’s my ankle, I think.” He could hear cries and groans and screams from the wreck and conclud- ed that his portion had been light. Still, the pain was increasing at such a rate that soon he was giving it all his attention. The old man deftly removed his shoe and sock and gently felt of the rapidly swelling joint. “Not busted,” was his diagnosis, “but a pretty bad sprain. Jest set still and I'll fix you up in a jiffy.” He stirred the fire, laid on more wood, and set over it a three-gallon pail half full of water. To this he added salt and vinegar and some dried leaves whose pungent odor Reese did not recognize. He was not in a condi- tion to recognize much of anyihing. He lay back on the blanket the old man had spread for him and wondered just how much pain a man could stand without yelping. ‘ At last the water was heated to the old man's satisfaction, he provided a worn camp stool for Reese to sit on, and told him to lower his foot gradu- ally into the water. But Reese jerked up his leg at the first touch of the hot liquid. “1 can’t stand that! Can't we rub it with some salve or something?” 1ard-beaten hard-beat “This's the best way to treat a sprain,” was the reply. “It's the only way I know that's any good. 1 got some dandy ointment, made out of bal- sam juice and herbs, but this comes first. [First bile out the meanness, then lay on the salve. That's jest sense.” It took Reese ten minutes to get his# foot into that pail and. then the old man began adding hotter water until nothing but a sense of shame prevent- ed the patient from crying out in pro- test. But the pain had almost en- tirely ceased and the swelling was al- ready going down. “It works like a charm,” he admitted drawing up his pink extremity for in- spection. “I've seen men laid up for weeks with a thing like this.” The old man nodded. “Now for the salve.” For nearly twenty minutes he rubbed steadily and gently, working out the soreness, working in the heal- ing compound. With the relief from pain Reese had time to study this stranger who had come to his sistance as naturally as his mother would have come. “One might think,” he remarked, “that you were used to having people pitched out of passing trains into the middle vi your camp at night.” The old man glanced up with a twinkle. Just this way before.” “Are you what they call a prospec- tor?” “Yep. Jeen up and down these Rockies for nigh onto forty year, now.” Reese watched him curiously, won- dering how far desert etiquette al- lowed personal questions. The could still hear people working about the wreck. They saw the flash of au- tomobile lights and heard the authori- tative voice of a doctor. Evidently as- sistance had been found in some near- by town. “Isn't it a pretty lonesome life?” Reese asked. “Well, now, most any life is pretty lonesome, ain't it? I mean,” he went on, seeing the other's puzzled look, “we mostly got to depend on ourselves, ain't we?” “We-ell, yes, I suppose that's right. But there’s not much in it, is there?” “Money, you mean? Prob'bly they’s different ways o’ lookin’ at that. How much you think you got depends on how much you want.” “And have you all you want?’ Reese's gaze traveled over the simple camp, the few blankets, blackened kettle and frying pan, two worn pack saddles, a canvas bag, of food prob- ably, swung in the forks of a low- spreading pinion. A couple of gray burros dozed contentedly in the outer rim of the firelight. “Don’t look like much to you,” said the old man with a smile. “But you see, what I want and what I got go right along together.” He looked up as if about to put a question, then thought better of it. “I know what you're thinking,” said Reese, “you're wondering if mine go to- gether. They don’t. They never did. I wouldn't want them to.” The old man nodded placidly. “It'd be a heck of a world if we all wanted the same thing, wouldn't it?” He slipped a bridle over the head of one of the burros, saddled the animal and laid a thick pad of blankets atop. “We'll go find the rest, now!” “But, I don’t need to ride,” Reese had an uncomfortable picture of him- self astride the diminutive mount. “You can get off 'fore we come in sight o’ anybody,” the old man told him, understanding him so perfectly that Reese was embarrassed. “But vou oughta keep off that foot all you can for two or three days. ’'Twon’t give you a bit o trouble if you do that.” Reese mounted gingerly, the burro standing solidly under his awkward movements. “Are they always as pa- tient as that?” he asked. “Well, all of 'em’s generally patient outside. And they're patient inside.” Seeing that Reese was again puzzled, the old man explained. “It’s jest a question o’ sense. They're just like kids. You can whack ‘em into mindin’ and get the work done in a kind of a way. But ever’ time they get a chance they'll run off from you. Then you awful kind to em, and feed ‘em many oats. And just as sure as sin they'll kick up their heels and run off the same. What brutes needs and what kids needs is some dicypline and some pettin’ and a whole heap o’ standin’. —them two things don’t go.” losophy while he was guided through the velvet blackness of the desert Few Trees Attain to Really Ripe Old Age Trees live longer than humans: but a baby human has more chance of life than a baby tree. A forest at maturity contains about 5 per cent of the trees that started life there. The percent- age of human beings living from ten to fifty is much greater than in the case of trees. About 95 per cent of trees die before they are eighty years old, while only 87 per cent of persons die before reaching that age. There are exceptional trees which live to an amazing age. The sequoia tree, for instance, sometimes attains the age of 4,000; so also does the cypress. At twenty years of age a spruce tree re- quires about four square feet of space; at forty years it will require 34 feet; at sixty years, 70 feet, and at one hun- dred years, about 150 feet. Pine trees need at least 15 per cent more light space than spruce trees. Just One More Bite tichard, age three, was permitted at this meal to partake of the delights found in a roasting ear. So interested he in this new addition to his was preferred to make his entire meal on the vegetable. When his mother thought that he had eaten as much as he should have, she asked for the cob, which she placed on a nearby bread and butter plate. In a few minutes Richard looked in- tently at the cob and said: “Mother, please let me borrow my corncob again, I think I see one more good bite.” Class “Heard about that hotel de luxe?” “What about it?” “The lighting fixtures are solid gold.” “Well?” “All hardware Is platinum-plated, and they make out your bill on em- bossed vellum.” “TI ain't never had it happen | two | under- | But kicks and too many oats !

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) To aviod repeating the fitting process on every garment one makes, it is a good idea to make a guide or foundation pattern for each mem- ber of the family one sews for. A woman can fit her own foundation pat- tern, but it is better to have help. A simple commercial pattern with nor- mal shoulder seam, high neck line, and set-in sleeves is bought for the purpose, and a dress-length.of good quality, but inexpensive material, such as unbleached muslin, cambrie, or gingham. A gingham with a con- spicuous check is very satisfactory be- ‘ause the lengthwise and crosswise threads of the goods can be plainly seen, The foundation pattern is cut from this material as if one were go- ing to make a dress, the bureau of home economics explains. In a bul- letin on fitting dresses and blouses. It is basted up and carefully fitted at all the important points—shoulders, underarms, bust, hips, armscye, sleeve, and skirt length, and any neccesary alterations are made on it. The hem is turned at the right distance from the floor, the neck line and armholes are correctly trimmed, darts are made in their proper places, and the points are marked at which pockets, belt- line, hips, or kick-plaits should come. Care should be taken that the seams are uniform in width, The foundation pattern is then cut down the center front and center back. One half is used as a pattern, the oth- er as a ba 's for designing, unless the two sides are noticeably different, due to irregularities in the figure. In that case both sides should be saved, the right and left being plainly marked All markings are made permanent by stitching with thread of contrasting color, which makes the pattern re- versible. All pieces should ba stitched one-eighth inch from the edge to pre- vent stretching. The pattern is now available for designing almost any style of dress and many blouses. It is especially useful in sewing for a member of the family who at any time is away from home. CRETONNE-COVERED BOX IS PLEASING Serves as Good Place for Storing Garments.

Then she tore off loose paper and pasted strips of cheesecloth over some of the cracks in the wall to keep the paper from break- ing. One of the most unpleasant jobs was to clean some old paint from around the edge of the floor with lye. With the extension agent’s help she selected a cream paper for the walls and a white ceiling, with a three-inch border. Dark buff paint was bought for the floor, mahogany-color for the door, and ivory enamel for the bed, dresser, washstand, bedside table and two chairs, Ruth did all the papering and paint- ing herself, and papered seme rooms for her mother. She earned the money to pay for the materials—$5.50 —by making and selling two braided rugs and picking berries. This money enabled her to buy ecretonne for the window box, glass handles for the dresser, candles and candlesticks, curtain rods and a peanut can to make into a waste basket, besides the paint and wall paper. Ruth says that after the papering was done she “moved all the furniture out of the room, gave the floor two coats of paint and washed off the furniture, I took the dresser mirror off the frame and fas- tened it to the wall, enameled all the furiture, also a vase, waste basket and ink bottle. I stenciled a small flower on my dresser, washstand and the backs of the chairs, and got a seat for one chair. I made three braided rugs for the floor, scarfs for bureau and washstand and cream curtains.” aiso COOKING OF LAMB TOLD IN LEAFLET Delicate Flavored Meat De- mands Best Preparation. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Lamb has practically replaced mut- ton in the American diet. This change, says the bureau of home economics, United States Department of Agricul- ture, means changes in methods of cooking as the delicate flavored, ten- der lamb demands very different prep- aration from mutton. In a new leaf- let, “Lamb as You Like It,” the bureau has given recipes and directions for roasting leg of lamb, saddle, and stuffed breast and boned shoulder. The use of the meat thermometer which makes it possible to roast large cuts to just the turn desired, and with a minimum of shrinkage, is discussed and illustrated. How best to broil the different kinds of lamb chops to keep them juicy and tender is described and times and temperatures given. The tasty mint or watercress stuff- ing for shoulder is equally good for leg or other cuts from which the bone has been removed. Served either hot or cold these boned stuffed cuts are easy to carve into attractive slices. Lamb is in fact one of the best of meats for cold especially when served as illustrated in this leaflet with a cool green mint gelatin. Nor is the old standby lamb stew overlooked. Directions are given for me a savory stew, using meat from one of the less expensive cuts. The leaflet, No. 28-L, is available free on request from the United States De- partment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. cuts, Curried Eggs and Rice Make a Delicious Dish The flavor of curry goes especially well with eggs. A small quantity of curry powder, combined with other vegetable flavors and a dash of tabas- co gives piquancy to a sauce served with hard-cooked eggs. The bureau of home economics gives these directions for preparing a dish of curried eggs with rice for lunch or supper: 6 eggs, hard cooked, pepper ‘ cut in quarters 2 tablespoons 3 cups cooked rice chopped onions 4 tablespoons but- 2 tablespoons ter chopped celery 3 tablesspoons flour 1 teaspoon curry 2 cups milk 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon 3 drops tabasco chopped green Melt the butter in a skillet, add the onion, green pepper, and celery and cook for 2 or 3 minutes. Stir into this the seasoning and the flour, mix well, and add the cold milk. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Make a bed of the flaky cooked rice on a hot platter. Arrange the cut eggs over it, and pour the hot sauce over the eggs and rice. the top with chopped parsley and serve at once. Sprinkle Fruit Filling for Cake Select one dozen large stewed prunes and remove the seeds, allowing them to drain so that practically all of the Juice is removed. Also use an equal number of steamed figs or canned figs, Put through a food grinder, using the coarse knife. Add enough confection- er's sugar to make a nice paste for spreading. ‘This makes a good filling for chocolate cake, with the plain white icing used on the top of the cake, | FOUNDATION PATTERN FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL So Constipated That Life Seemed Hopeless “In November, 1920, T wrote you for * Special instructions in the use of Milks Emulsion. I have been constipated for a number of years and suffered with my bowls for a long time, I finally had an X-ray made which definitely located the trouble in my howels.

It was in a village near Bury St. Edmunds, and though it was fully licensed no traveler could quench his thirst there. Nor could he get food or any kind of accommodation, The own- er was a rabid teetotaller who adopted this method of asserting his principles, In the end the justices refused to re- new the license. They came to the conclusion that the public had no need of an inn which never opened its doors, At a small Devonshire inn the food and accommodation are good, but the landlord refuses to allow his clients more than three drinks a day. He declares that three drinks are enough for anyone, and his plan seems to work very well, Triumph Qver Ill Fate Eighty-eight years ago, Miss Lucy M.
