EMERGENCY SALAD.

The ingredients for a salad are usr
ally at hand, the vegetables left from
dinner; If they have been served with
a sauce, this can be washed off before
putting away. Remnants of fruit that
are not enough to serve as fruit
course make a delicious salad. Fruit
is nice served with heavy sirup, a
French dressing or mayonnaise. When
serving a French dressing on fruit it
is we'll to use lemon instead of vinegar,
and whipped cream may be added just
before serving.
Cold cooked string beans make a
most satisfying salad with a little
onion and q French dressing, all
heaped daintily on crisp leaves of let
tuce. For a beet salad cut enough
cold cooked beets into dice to make
three cupfuls, put into salad bowl.
add five tablespoonfuls OF olive oil.
three tablespoonfuls Of vinegar. a tea
spoonful of salt and a few dashes of
red pepper. Arrange on bed OF let
tuce on a cold dish; pour the dress
ing over It and serve.
Celery and hard cooked eggs with a
dressing make a wholesome salad.

SYNOPSIS.

Miss Innes. spinster and guardian of
Gertrude and Halsey. established summer
headquarters at Sunnyside. Amidst nu-
merous difficulties the servants deserted.
AS Miss Innes locked up for the night
she was startled by dark figure on the
veranda. She passed a terrible night,
which was filled with unseemly noises
In the morning. Miss lnnes found
strange link cuff button in a clothes
hamper. Gertrude and Halsey arrived
with Jack Bailey. The house was awak-
ened by revolver shot A strange man
was found shot to death, in the hall
1t proved to be the body of Arnold Arm
strong, whose banker father owned the
country house Miss Innes found Hal
sey's revolver on the lawn. lie and Jack
Bailey had disappeared. The link cuff
button mySteriously disappeared. De-
tective Jameson and the coroner arrived;
to Jack Bailey, with whom she had
talked in the billiard room a few mo-
ments before the murder. Jameson told
Miss Innes that she was hiding evidence
from him. He imprisoned an intruder in
down a laundry chute it developed that
the intruder was probably woman. Ger
trude was suspected, for the intruder
left a print of a bare foot Gertrude re-
turned home with her right ankle
sprained. A negro found the other half
button. Halsey suddenly reappeared.
He said he and Bailey had left because
they had received a telegram. Gertrude
said that she had given Bailey an un-
loaded revolver, fearing to give him Hal
seys loaded weapon. Cashier Bailey OF
Paul Armstrong; bank, defunct, was ar
rested, charged with embezzlement.

SELECTION OF FOODS.

Many housekeepers who pride them
selves on their knowledge of the cuts
OF meat and can tell at a glance the
hardy old farmyard veteran from the
juicy young broiler, fall down COM
pletely when choosing fruits and vege-
tables. Berries which looked well in
the market prove fiat. stale and un-
profitable. Melons and cucumbers
outwardly attractive were only skin
fruit are frequently overripe and
peaches green. The wise selection of
fruit is not learned in day nor with
one lesson. For the beginner there
are few points, which if observed
will make the chances better of get
ting what one pays for and teach one
how to tell the good from the bad.
The two chief tests are weight and
fgararnce. Ripe fruit has fresh,
sweet odor which is easily recognized.
Fragrance is the best test to give to
berries, as those without that delicate
aroma should be regarded with sus-
picion. This is also true of lemons,
oranges, peaches. pears, and especial
ly of cantelopes.
When buying oranges, grapefruit
and melons, weight is the important
item: If light in weight, beware of
them, they will either be pithy or un-
ripe. If melons are spongy to the
touch they are either unripe or stale.
Cucumbers should never be purchased
If spongy.
In selecting muskmelons the sweet
est ones have a rough rind. The
smooth streaks which divide the fruit
into sections should be yellowish.

Mr.. Jameson looked thoughtful
1T may not amount to anything"
he said slowly. 1T is difficult to get
any perspective on things around
here, because every one down in the
village is sure he saw the murderer
either before or since the crime. And
half of them will stretch a point or
two as to facts, to be obliging. But

yesterday, about a ghost wringing it's

the one the milk-boy heard; a tramp

bloody, in the creek below the

few feet away in the hall was the
spot where the body of Arnold Arm
strong had been found. I was a bit
nervous. and I put my hand on Hal
sey's sleeve. Suddenly, from the top
of the staircase above us came the
sound of cautious footstep. At first
l was not sure, but Halsey's attitude
told me he had heard and was listen
ing. The step, Slow, measured, in
fnitely cautious, was nearer now.
Halsey tried to loosen my fingers, but
l was in a paralysis of fright.
The swish of a body against the
curving rail, as If for guidance, was
plain enough, and now whoever it was
had reached the foot of the staircase
and had caught glimpse of our rigid
silhouettes against the billiard room
doorway. Halsey threw me off then
and strode forward.
Who is it?" he called imperiously,
and took half dozen rapid strides to-
ward the foot of the staircase. Then
l heard him mutter something; there
was the crash of q falling body, the
slam of the outer door, and, for an
instant, quiet. screamed, think.
Then I remember turning on the
lights and finding Halsey, white with
fury, trying to untangle himself from
something warm and ieecy. He had
cut his forehead little on the lowest
step of the stairs, and he was rather
a CHASTITY sight. He flung the white
object at me, and, jerking open the
outer door, raced into the darkness.
Gertrude had come on hearing the
noise, and now we stood, staring at
each other over-of all things on

When Servants Were Slaves.

1t hasn't been so many years since
servants were practically slaves; they
were bound out for a term of years
and never could hope to better their
conditions. The world is advancing,
however, and now servants, especially
those who do washing and house
cleaning, are better treated. Easy Task

itself, and which cleans pots and pans
and painted work like magic, Is re-

ton. Only 5 cents cake, too.

HaIsey Makes a Capture.


It was about half-past eight when
we left the dining room, and still en-
crossed with one subject, the failure
of the bank and its attendant evils,
Halsey and l went out into the
grounds for a stroll. Gertrude fol-
lowed us shortly. The light was

The most ordinary events of life
seemed pregnant with possibilities that
day, and when Halsey was called to
the telephone, l ceased all pretense
at eating. When he came back from
the telephone his face showed that
something had occurred. He waited
however, until Thomas left the din
ing room; then he told us.
Paul Armstrong is dead" he an
nounced gravely He died this morn
ing in California Whatever he did,
he is beyond the law now"
Gertrude turned pale.
"And the only man who could have
cleared Jack can never do it," she
said despairingly.
ALSO" l replied coldly, "Mr. Arm
strong is for ever beyond the power
of defending himself. When your
Jack comes to me, with some 100000
in his hands, which is about what
you have lost, l shall believe him in

Cross seals or stamps cost only a cent

these stamps go to help in the fight
