| the Jail from Paradena in automobiles
after running through two crowds
which, in their eagerness to get a

more than score of detectives and
deputy -sheriffs.

detectives, is held as Bryce, the man
alleged to have laid the internal ma
chimes that blew up the newspaper
plant Mrs. Ingersoll peered into the
face of Mcnamara as he entered the
machine. The man was shackled tc
an officer. but he kept his hand before
his face. In spite of this, Mrs. In
gersoll declared afterward that he
was Bryce.

Water In Cookinu.

AL cooks do not understand the diff
ferent effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meat and vege-
tables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water containing lime or gyp-
sum will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
caseine. Many vegetables, as onions.
boil nearly tasteless in soft water, be-
cause all the flavor is boiled out The
addition of salt often checks this, as
in the case of onions, causing the
vegetable to retain the peculiar flavor
ing principles, besides such nutritious
matter as might be lost in soft water.

shortening, that equally good results
were obtained as regards outward ap-
pearance and the way the dough had
risen, but on breaking the biscuits
made with melted butter they were
found to be of inferior texture and
seemed very tough, while in the bis

better, more spongy and quite tender.

VI PICNIC
Bv GEORGE V. HOBART

Bunch and I had a little frame-up
for the benefit of Uncle Peters race
track betting proclivities, with key
Schwartz as our understudy. After
completing our plans we walked
around to the Grand Central station
and | found a moment wherein to
make a date for tomorrow's meeting.
Nothing was said about the real
estate business, which Peaches
thought was keys line, on the way
home, but I could see that although
Peaches now had her semaphore set
for clear track che still had a few
cold doubts about friend key.
Of course l couldn't tell her our
plan for Uncle Peters salvation with
out giving the old gentleman dead
away, and, besides, the secret might
leak out and my busy relative would
break off a few horse laughs at my
expense.
Uncle Peter blew into Ruraldene a
little earlier than usual that evening,
and with him was a stranger.
The old gentleman was in excel
to us as Mr.. Barney Sullivan.
Hes a co-worker and deeply in
terested in the S. P. c. A." I heard
Cagey Peter whisper hoarseIy to Aunt
Martha and Clara J., but was wise
to the visitor.
Barney was none other than a little
Tad tout I'd often seen around the
tracks, but I couldn't imagine why
Uncle Peter had dragged him into
our home life.
OF course the women folks saw
nothing strange in the fact that Uncle
Peter brought a co-worker in a good
cause home with him, but it was me
Cor the Sherlock Holmes thing, quick
It was all right enough for my es-
teemed relative to throw his money
