close TO the boy, saying nothing. He

for companions no less personages
than the magnate and a distinguished
looking New Highlander, who. Rupert
Winter made no doubt, was Harvard
professor of rank and renown among
his learned kind. He knew the ear

while he listened with absorbed inter

was a little sidewise lunge of Haley's

CHAPTER III.
The Train Robbers.

When the colonel awoke next morn
ing the train was running smoothly
over the Iowa prairies, while low hills
and brick factory chimneys announced
Council Bluffs. The landscape was
wide and monotonous; a sweep of IL
Irritable corn fields in their winter
disarray, or bleakly fresh from the
pillow, all painted with a palette hold
ing only drabs and browns; here and
there a dab of red in barn or of
white in windmill or house; but these
livelier tints so scattered that they
were no more than pin spots on the
picture. The very sky was as dimly
colored as the earth, lighter, yet OF no
brighter hue than the fog which
smoked up from the ground. Later
In the spring this same landscape
would be of delicate and charming
beauty; in summer or autumn IL
would make the beholder's pulse throb
with its glorious fertility; but on a
blurred March morning It was as
dreary as the reveries of an aging man
who has failed.
Nevertheless, Rupert Winters first

sion, only a little Jingle of interest and
excitement, such as stings pleasantly

for) held a wicker bottle, source of the
pleasant whiffs; her sleek black
braids were coiled about her comely
head, and the hair grew very prettily
in blunted point on the creamy nape
of her neck. 1t was really dark brown
hair, but 1t looked black against the
capable-looking shoulders, the colonel
noted, and a fiat back; perhaps she
wasn't pretty, but in a long while he
had not seen a more attractive looking
woman. She made him think of a
Bonnie Celine rose, somehow. He
could hear her talking to some one be-
hind the berth's curtains. Could those
doleful means emerge from Archie?
Could a Winter boy be whimpering
about the Jar of the train in that
fashion? Immediately he was aware
that the sufferer was Randall, for Miss
Smith spoke: Bring the tea, and lie
down again, I'll attend to Mrs. Winter.

Prizes for Good Menus.

The patient housewife who is trying
to cater to the needs of her family on a
moderate income has to solve daily the
same old problem, What shall | cook
for breakfast, for luncheon, for dinnerY"
The very monotony of the question gets
on ones nerves, and there is lot of real
difficulty in planning a wholesome varl-
ETY. for each day. The Chicago Record
Herald has mercifully come to the aid
OF puzzled housewives by printing in
each issue set of three menus, with
recipes, under the title, "Meals for a
Day" What is more it gives four cash
prizes every week for the best of these
menus, and women all over the country
are invited to compete. The terms of
award and the names of the latest win
ners may be found in any Monday issue
of The Record Herald. That is the day,
too, when the "Martha's Management"
column appears, with its helpful hints
and advice to cooks and housekeepers.
Marion Harland's Sunday page also
gives group of selected recipes, which
If cut out each week and kept in scrap
book will make a most valuable collec-
ton. Women not familiar with the
prize menu feature of The Record Her
aid should investigate it at once. Many
have found it handy means of getting
fresh ideas and securing cash for those
they already have.
