KNEW HOW COOK GOT BURNED
But Doubtless Papa Wished Little
Willie Had Waited Before I'M
parting the Information.

There was company at dinner, and
the platter in front of the host con-
tanned fine roast of beef. He drew
the sharp carving knife across the
ringing steel few times, Just because
that is way carvers have, drove the
fork deep into the steaming beef, de-
scribed scalping knife flourish in the
air and gracefully began operations.
Two nice and tender slices clear
across the roast had resulted, and he
was turning of the third when the
blade struck skewer, made a sliding
upward motion and came out at the
top. with the result that the proposed
slice looked like frostbitten leaf
curled up by the sun.
He could not say intense things In
the presence Of his guests, but he
froze his wife with look, made a
grim Joke about the indigestibility of
roasted hard wood, inquired whether
the butcher also ran woodward, dug
the skewer out viciously and ordered
little Willie, who had made several at
temps to tell something, to keep still
or leave the table. His evident temper
led to an embarrassing silence, and
Willie saw an opening that he could
not resist.
Cook has burned her nose orful,"
he announced.
Too bad" said the father, whose
good humor was coming back. How
did she do it?"
