Upper halted the procession.

jected hastily. He'd keep our

the jailer."

kins, the jailer. "I've got enough

The lion kept up thunderous
roaring. 1t was the dead of
night. Lights were springing up
everywhere. Frowsled citizens
tumbled out.
Hes hungry" suggested Ad
Quiggins. Hell roar like the
battle of Gettysburg until you
give him meat"
The suggestion was welcomed
with acclaim and they trundled
the cage to the Empire butcher
shop. Mayor Thornton pur-
chased vastly expensive lot of
tenderloin and advancing to the
cage tossed chunk within. But
Tfppoo was after another kind OF
meat. A cat-like dart, and he had
the right sleeve of the mayors
new broadcloth in ribbons.
"Confound-dad-gum - bally-
hoo-by snodhoppers!" ragged the
mayor.
"You = Thomas Thornton =
cease that awful profanity"
came from the voice of Mrs.
Thornton from the crowd.
"Woof - wool = woofl" thun-
dered His Leonine Majesty.
The mayor, striving for self
mastery, was led away. The shiv-
ering crowd fastened back for
clothes. Only corporals guard
was left with Marshal Upper.
When all was quiet, the marsha
collected small posse, trundled
the cage Of King Tippoo back to
the deserted station and rolled it
upon a waiting flatcar. A tag was
attached to the cage inscribed:
ITO the President.
White House, Washington:
With love and regards from the
town of Sandville."
Everybody else sends 'em, I.
grinned Marshal Upper; "even
the king of Abysinnia.
Then the posse departed, leav-
ing the royal Tippoo to rend the
night with the rumblings of his
wrath.

FRUIT SALADS GROW
In POPULARITY

Nearly all kinds of fruits lend
themselves to the making of sal
ads. The growing popularity of
these is accounted for by the vari-
ETY. of ways in which they may be
combined, served and garnished;
and to the fact that they can be
made any time of the year from
whatever fruit happens to be in
season-berries, pineapple and
peaches in summer, malaga
grapes. apples, oranges, celery and
nuts in winter.
Cream dressings, with the sharp
condiments omitted, are used in
stead of mayonnaise, while
cream whipped stiff gIves white
dressing that contrasts attractive
ly with the bright-colored fruit.
Where fruit and cream are not
eaten together. the stiffly beaten
white of eggs are substituted; the
eggs should be well favored with
lemon and may be tinted deli
cate pink with cake or fruit col
oring.
When apples and celery are
used the addition Of tiny bit of
cinnamon or some candied ginger
gives the desired spicy flavor.
Olives, cream cheese, crisp
crackers or rich cookies are prop
er accomplishments for salads.
Breakfast Salad.-In an indi-
vidual salad dish place few thin
strips of pineapple, sprinkle with
powdered sugar. Place some ripe
Strawberries, cut in halves, on the
pineapple, and garnish with grape
fruit cut very fine. On this place
a spoonful of salad dressing and
sprinkle on more sugar.
Thorndyke Salad. - One-half
pound English walnuts, chopped
fine. One cup celery, cut fine;
one tablespoon of preserved GIN
ger, cut in tiny bits; one-half
pound of malaga grapes, seeded
and cut in halves; three bananas
sliced fine; one can of grated pine
apple or one large pineapple graf
ed; Juice of three lemons; two ap-
pies. chopped in bits; four
oranges, pared and sliced. Alter
nate the layers of fruit with lay
ers of powdered sugar; garnish
top with blanched almonds and
Strawberries; then pour dressing
over and chill.
Orange Salad. - Peel sour
oranges and cut in very thin slices,
then cut in quarters. Marinate
with one-third cup olive oil, three
tablespoons lemon Juice, one-third
teaspoon salt, one-quarter tea
spoon paprika, and serve on wa
tercress or lettuce.
Banana Salad.-Peel bananas
and cut in half lengthwise. Place
two halves on individual salad
plates on lettuce leaves. Put a
teaspoon salad dressing on each,
and sprinkle over them ground
peanuts.
Peach Salad.-Pare quart of
ripe peaches and slice thin. Chop
one-half cup almonds. Mix fruit
and nuts with dressing made of
two parts mayonnaise and one
part whipped cream, and serve at
once on lettuce leaves.

TO THE GIRL WHO LOVES A MARRIED MAN

there is any. The idea that 1t Is
wicked for a girl to love a mar
ried man Is false. Love is not a
cloak to be pulled on and of at
will, 1t comes unbidden, and under
no circumstances is the real thing
wicked. Therefore, be thankful
that you have known SO great
and noble passion.
Be quiet about 1t, of course, for
the world in general does not take
a charitable view of such things,
and misunderstanding too often
causes unhappiness.
Very sincerely,
A READER.

wife of IL Troy, New York, blacksmith. and

ly connected with the invention of the de-
tached collar. The date of this import
ant event. however, has not been fixed def
initely. but it seems to be pretty we'll es-

could not have been earlier than the lat

century,.

In which circuit there is also an instru-
