That afternoon they were near the

agricultural warehouse appeared. But,
instead of going straight to Tillson,
he stopped at the gate and began to
examine 1t curiousy.

off. He would have sent Zeke, only
he preferred him to continue at the

drummer as he crossed to Zckes side.
"Going to have it patented, of course"

VU.-Substit4tes For
Meat.

Association.

Ut has been previously limited in
these articles that meat need not
form Il part of every meal in
fact, the majority of people will
have better health if they abstain
from flesh eating oftcncr than once
day. The suggestion has also been
made that meat substitutes, such as
dishes in which eggs, beans, cheese or
nuts form the chief ingrcdk mt, be
served at least two meals Il day. The
variety of ways in which the materials
may be used is numerous, all that is
needed being a little ingenuity in com
bining them with other ingredients in
order to obtain satisfactory results.
Some people who are fond of hearty
foods and meat tavors are loath to
see the meat platter depart from the
table only to reappcar once day
For such persons it will be ne cSSary
to practice the virtue of patience
make the other dishes substantial and
appetizing and occasionally take few
lessons on food values. Beans, nuts
and cheese all contain a larger per
cent of protein than meat and, com
bined as they often are with other
protein food. are really more nutritious
than meat
Cheese Is a food ricn in nutrimcnt. 1t
contains more than twice as much tis-
sue building material than meat and
a large per cent of fat. But because it
is a concentrated food it gives the di-
gcstive organs considerable work. One
reason for this Is because the Curd of
the milk has been hardened by heat In
the process of making, besides being
closely pressed. Grated or finely bro
ken cheese IS more readily digcStcd
than that served in larger pieces.
Cooking also increases the indigcStibil-
ity of cheese, and for this reason in

A Gold Road,

At Orovlllc, In Butte county, Cal,
section OF roadway has been found so
rich In placer gold that an application
has been made for permission to
dredge 1t. The miner who makes the
application to the authorities agrees,
according to newspaper reports, to re-
place the road by one fully as good as
or better than the present one. 1t would
seem, however, that If the city owns
gold mine 1t would pay better to work
1t and get the money for the city treas
ury. Not many cities in the country
can boast Of paying gold deposits in
the public streets, and there Is proba-
bly, dcarth of precedents to guide

CHAPTER XIII.

cluster of native villages. The river
was no longer navigable and they stop
ped to fit the yacht with queer runners
and harness 1t to string of camels

back. and made slow progress over the
desert to navigable water. Tired as
they all had been of the yacht, the
camel travel had become more intol-

again.

mind, and instead of going to Khar-

took TO the ocean for Cairo. 1t was
easier travelling on the yacht, and less
dangerous than in any other way. Be-
sides lie Malheureux did not wish to
leave his electrical toy behind him, be-
cause there was no suitable place in
which to lodge it. Further. he had de-
clared his intention of returning to
America, and had offered to pilot john
ny Johnson and the Morrises back %
their own country, an offer only too
speedily accepted. BY now there was
no distrust of any Of their odd COM
