Care In Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re.
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi.
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats ::
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob.
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten. II you are

Il do believe you are right. There

But look at those funny little ones on

WINTHROP, indifferently IF you

When he had half emptied the flask,
he stretched out in the shade to doze.
But Miss Leslie continued to watch
the movements of the snorting hippos,
amused by the ponderous antics of the
grown ones in the surf, and the comic
appearance of the barrel-like infants
as they mounted the backs of their
obese mothers.
Presently Blake came out from
among the mangroves, and walked
across to the beach, few yards away
from the huge bathers. To all APP
pearances, they paid as little attention
to him as he to them. Miss Leslie
glanced about at WINTHROP. He was
fast asleep. She waited a few mo-
ments to see if the hippopotami would
attack Blake. They continued to ig-
more him, and gaining courage from
their Indifference, she stepped out
from behind the thicket, and advanced
to where Blake was crouched on the
beach. When she came up, she saw
beside him heap of oysters, which
he was opening in rapid succession.
Hello! You're just in time to
help" he called Where's VIM"
Asleep behind those bushes
Worst thing he could do. But lend
hand, and we'll shuck these oysters
before rousting him out. You can
rinse those I've opened. Fill the pot
with water, and put them in to soak"
They look very tempting. How did
you chance to find them?"
Saw 'em on the mangrove roots at
low tide, first time | nosed around
here. Tide was we'll up today; but
managed TO get these all right with
little diving. Only trouble, the
skeets most ate me alive
Miss Leslie glanced at her compan-
ions dry clothing, and came back to
the oysters themselves. These look
very tempting. Do you like them
raw"
Cant say l like them much any
way as a rule. But If did, wouldn't
eat this mess raw"
yes?
This must be the dry season here,
and the river is running mighty clear.
Just the same it's nothing more than
liquid malaria. Well not eat these
oysters till they've been pasteurized."
''If the water is so dangerous. fear
we will suffer before we can return"
replied Miss Leslie, and she held up
the flask.

gone already? That was Winthrope."
"He was very thirsty. Could We not
boil a potful of the river water?"

during the night.
Having sent Miss Leslie to fill the
whisky flask with spring water, he
dropped three cocoanutshell bowls, a
piece of meat and lump of salt into
one Of the earthenware pots, and
slung all over his shoulder in the ante
lope skin. With his bow hung over
the other shoulder, knife and arrows
in his belt, and his big club in his
hand, he looked ready for any contin-
gency.
We'll hit first for the mouth of the
river" he said. I'm going on ahead.
If I'm not in sight when you come up,

and wait"
But ! say, Blake" replied Win
thrope, 81 see animals over in the cop
pieces, and you, should know that | am
physically unable"
Nothing but antelope" interrupted
Blake. I've seen them enough now
to know them twice as far off. And
you can bet on it they'd not be there
if any dangerous beast was in smell
ing distance"
That is so clever of you, Mr..
Blake" remarked Miss Leslie.
Simple enough when you happen to
think of it," responded Blake. Yes /;
the only thing you've got to look out
for's the ticks in the grass. They'll
keep you interested. They bit me up
in great shape"
He scowled at the recollection,
nodded by way of emphasis, and was
off like a shot. The edge of the plain
beneath the cliff was strewn with
rocks, among which, even with Miss
Leslie's help, Winthrope could pick
his way but slowly. Before they were
clear of the rough ground, they saw
Blake disappear among the man.
groves.
The ticks proved less annoying than
they had apprehended after Blake's
warning. But when they approached
the mouth of the river, they were
alarmed to hear, above the roar Of the
surf. loud snorting, such as could only
be made by large animals Fearful
lest Blake had reused and angered
some forest beast, they veered TO the
right and ran to hide behind a clump
of thorns. WINTHROP sank down ex-
hausted the moment they reached
cover; but Miss Leslie crept TO the
far end of the thicket and peered
around.
"Oh, look here!" she cried. Its a
whole herd of elephants trying to
cross the river mouth where We did

things!"

'Mr. Blake!" she exclaimed, "Mr.

word; but can't endure it! You have
no right to send him on such an er-

"No, you shall not! I'll go myself"
See here, Miss Leslie" said Blake,
somewhat sternly; who's got the re-
sponsibility of keeping you two alive
for the next month or so? I've been
in the tropics before, and | know
something of the way people have to
live to get out again. I'm trying to

like to observe, however. that in
speaking to Miss Leslie"
There you are again, with your
everlasting talk. Cut it out, and get
busy. Tomorrow we all go on hike

! AS Winthrope started off, Blake
turned to Miss Leslie, with a good
natured grin.
You see, it's this way, Miss Jen-
ny" he began. He caught her look
of disdain, and his face darkened.
Mad, Ell? So that's the racket"
"Mr Blake, will not have you talk
to me in that way. Mr. Winthrope is
a gentleman. but nothing more to me
than friend such as any young WON

THAT settles it! I'll take your
word for it, Miss Jenny" broke in
Blake, and springing up, he set about

The girl gazed at his broad back
and erect head, uncertain whether she
should feel relieved or anxious. The
more she thought the matter over, the
more uncertain she became, and the
more she wondered at her uncertain
ty. Could it be possible that she was
becoming interested in a man who, If
