try the roast.
! gave it the benefit Of a blazing oven
tor two hours, and had bastei it every
ten minutes; but it didn't look like the
''sperribs' Mary turned out of her oven.
Did they ever fry lamb, l wonderedf l
fried little piece on trial. but it wasn't
success. 1t smoked and backened and
slzzled, which was not exactly the pro.
cess by which Marys juicy, delicious
steaks came to the table.
l would boil it as a last resort. II
did boil after while. waited pa.
tiently for 1t, and was at last rewarded by
hearing the water bubble furiously
against the tin cover. INDUCED my
self with view Of the interior. Good {!
but-horror Of horrors! What was that
brown stuff swimming about ON ,op7 1t

left on the rocks at low tide.

Him. she shifted again, a. she took
her leave. "it smells old enough to be
sheep! You'd better put in piece of
charcoal"
l put in "a piece" Piece doesn't seem
to me very definite word. found q
good many pieces that were twice az big
as good many other pieces. l tried to
find half piece, hut couldn't. The
piece l did put in made the water boil
over; but that was nothing, if the meat
was only improved. When that meat
had boiled five hours. I began to think it
was time to take it of. But the kettle was
too much for my wrists. 1t might have
boiled there till this time for all that
could do to hinder it.
