"Ay, ay,' returned Rufus bli,hely.
The door opened and Hashins
lurched in. Jennings went at his
throat like a bulldog, Rufus harry
ing him from behind falling with
all his weight on his fa. shoulders,
Haskins crlmpled to his knees.
Rufus worked around in front Of
him and forced him flat on his
back.
Haskins' fat face was growing
purple under the s:rangling fingers
of Jennings and his breath came
Nheezingly, but the amazement and
chagrin that gittered in his eyes
filld.I Rufus with soothing JOY,
Tie him" said Jennings; use
the same ropes | took off you. Quick
on it, now"
Rufus was skilled in the use of
rope. The celerity and effectiveness
of the method he used in getting
bonds on Haskins' wrists and an
kles We're a revelation to Jennings.
Now for a twisted handkerchief
between his jaws" went on Jennings,
and the job will be done, and
we'll done"
Rufus applied the handkerchief,
knoting its two corners tightly az
the back of Hashns' head. The pris-
oner was thereupon lifted to the
cushioned bench which Rufus had
occupied a little while before.
In the glow of an electric light,
turnuN on by Haskins during the
"trip up the river, :tufus and Jen-
nings could observe further the vary
ing emotions that crossed their cap
tive's face. The purple tinge was
giving way to an ashen hue in the
fat cheeks, but the bewildemment
and CONSERVATION stlll lurked IN the
cleaning eyes.
There's shift in the situation,
Haskins,' jubilated Rufus, bending
over the man. Let me tell you
something about yourself: You're a
two-spot. When you stacked the
cards for the play against me, you
left the joker in the pack"
Rufus turned away with a laugh.
The motor of the Fortunatus was
humming merrily, the propeller was
churning up troubled wake and
the water was seething along the
boats rounded sides. There was
plenty of noise to drown the talk
in the cabin.
Jennings also pushed TO the pris-
oner's side to have his own fling.

HINTS FOR BAKERS OF CAKE
Thing Always to Pc Remembered I,
Never to Mix Sweet and
Sour Milk.

The woman who bakes cake should
heed these little hints:
In recipes in which milk IL used az
one ingredient never mix sweet and
sour together. a. that has q tendency
to make the cake heavy.
Always sift the -four. not merely be-
cause there may be dirt in It. but be-
cause packing Injuries its lightness
and sitting restores It and makes
bread and cake lighter.
Before beginning to mix q cake It il
better to collect all the Ingredients
which enter into It. otherwise one or
moro Of them may be omitted and
thus spoil the cake.
All cakes without yeast should have
the flour mixed in quickly Just as 1t
goes into the oven.
An oven to bake we'll must have q
regular heat throughout. but particu-
larly a good heat at the bottom. with.
out which a cake will not rise in bak.

Every One.

One ham. q paste of flour and water
Drowned crumbs. Wipe the ham. and
soak 1t In cold water overnight. then
dry It well. Turn 1t over and with a
sharp-pointed knife make an incision
through the shank bone and by dint of
cutting and scraping turn the flesh
right back from the bone, no matter
where the bone is. Keep the knife
as close to the bone as possible SO as
not to cash the meat in an unsightly
manner.
When all the bone is out, roll up the
ham from side to side, making It look
as much like 1t was at first as pos
sible. only narrower. Tie 1t firmly in
shape with tape. Wrap 1t in a thickly
creased paper, then cover with a stiff
paste made Of -four and water. Put
the ham on a baking tin in hot oven
and bake 1t for three and half hours.
Have one heaping tablespoonful Of
dripping In the tin with which to
taste the ham frequently.
When done take off the paste and
