smiling up into his own held peculiar
fascination for him, gripping him with
a strange feeling of familiarity, touch
ing some dim memory which failed
to respond. Surely he had never seen
the original, for she was not one to
be easily forgotten, and yet eyes,
hair, expression, combined to remind
him of some one whom he had seen

There were no names on the locket,

Keith slipped the fragile gold chain

SALADS THAT TEMPT
DELICIOUS CONNECTIONS THAT
ARE EASILY MADE.
White Salad, Twentieth Century Salad
and Japanese Rice Salad Arc
Among the New Sugges-
tons for the Cook,

White Salad-One cup of celery, one
cup OF cabbage, one 10-cent can of
pimento, one-half cup of almonds
blanched. Cut the above rather fine
One-half box of gelatine soaked in one
pint Of cold water, when soft add one
pint of hot water, one teaspoon OF
salt, one and one-half cups granulated
sugar. When slightly cooled add the
juice OF three lemons. When gelatine
has commenced to CONCEAL add the
other ingredients. Mold in pan, cut in
squares, and serve on lettuce leaf with
good mayonnaise mixed half whipped
cream. This is delicious.
Twentieth Century Saiad-Take six
oranges, peel cover and seed them,
and cut the fruit in small pieces with
sharp scissors. Skin and seed one
half pound of white grapes and mix
the fruit with one-half pound of pecan
nuts and one quart of chopped celery.
Mix all these ingredients we'll and
stir in a dressing made the following
way: Beat we'll the yolks of twelve
eggs, put in an earthen bowl over a
pot of not water and stir them. After
the eggs have become warm add one
cupful of melted butter and one-half
pint of vinegar, which may be weak
ened with little warm water If too
sharp. Stir the dressing until 1t Is
perfectly smooth, being careful not to
let it cook too long or 1t will curdle
Give 1t time to become perfectly cold
Then add the juice Of two lemons, one
tablespoonful of sugar, one teaspoon
full of salt, and a pinch of paprika o.
red pepper. Whip One-half pint OF
double cream and stir it in; then put
away for several hours.
With the above quantities there
should be enough salad for twelve per
sons and is nice for company lunch,
con at a moderate cost.
Japanese Rice SaIad-Wash one-halt
cup of rice and cook in rapidly boiling
water for twenty minutes. Mix in q
large bowl four tablespoons of olive
oil, two tablespoons of vinegar, one
half teaspoon of salt, one-fourth tea
spoon of pepper, and one shake OF
tabasco sauce. Toss the rice after
thorough draining with this dressing
and add one-half a large onion or one
small one, or one tablespoon of cher.
ries, chopped fine.

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. of Postum anG
Opened the Eyes of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"a package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
81 notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee fer breakfast
next morning I prepared some Of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
cit was an immediate success in my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think it
delicious, and I would have a mutiny
on my hands should l omit the be-
loved beverage.
"My husband used to have very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily 1 wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua.
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
"Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use Of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
new woman, thanks to Postum"

Aeropiane Is Sjmpje.

The working parts Of the modern
flying machine are infinitely fewer in
number than those of the automobile,
the motor boat, the railroad locomo,
tive or the steamship. Far more CON-
pick is the operation of high-powered
motor car than that of high-powered
aeroplane. Far more delicately ad-
justed are the thousands of parts Of
the steam or electric locomotive than
the mechanism Of the flying machine.
1t is this very simplicity Of construc-
ton and operation that has enabled
the aeroplane to Guido in continuous
motion every other known form of
conveyance, except steamers, motor
boats and sailing ships, and these
last named are able to maintain their
motion only because of their huge
driving mechanism, out of all proper.

EOrooften Foods

1t is well to remember that many
plants which once were used as veg
etables have been allowed to drop out
Of our bills of fare. Our forefathers,
for instance, sometimes dined Off elder
top and burdock root, and the early
shoots of the hop were considered a
great delicacy and were cooked and
eaten as asparagus. Walter Jerrold,
in his Highways and Byways in
Kent" recalls a time when Kentish
children could tell Of many pleasant
hours spent among the hedges in
search of the wild hop top and of
,he wholesome suppers made upon the
well earned treasure ero they learned
10 think their food the better for be-
ing rare and costly.

A Bullet chugged Into the Ground at His Feet,

not being seen. Confident as to this,
he retreated openly, without making
the slightest effort to conceal his
movements, until he had regained the
scene of murder. In evidence of the
truth Of his theory no further shots
were fired, and although he watched
that opposite sand bank carefully, not
the slightest movement revealed the
presence of others. That every mo-
ton he made was being observed by
keen eyes he had no doubt, but this
knowledge did not discomfort him,
now that he felt convinced fear of re-
vealment would keep his watchers at
safe distance. Whoever they might
be they were evidently more anxious
to escape discovery than he was fear
full Of attack, and possessed no desire
to take his life, unless It became
necessary to prevent recognition.
They still had every reason to believe
their attack on the wagons would be
credited to hostile Indians, and would
consider it far safer to remain con-
cealed, and thus -iarbor this suppose

Keith had already stumbled upon the
truth, and was determined to verify
it.
Secure in this conception of the sit
uation, yet still keeping a wary eye
| about to guard against any treachery,
the plainsman, discovering a spade in
the nearest wagon, hastily dug a hole
in the sand, wrapped the dead bodies
in blankets, and deposited them there
In, piling above the mound the char
red remains of boxes as some slight
protection against prowling wolves.
He searched the clothing of the men,
but found little to reward the effort,
few letters which were slipped into
his pockets to be read later, some or

Ing except that they might assist in
identifying the victims, and, about the
neck Of the elder man, rather Pc
culiar locket, containing a portrait
painted on ivory. Keith was long
time opening this, the spring being
very ingeniously concealed, but upon
finally succeeding, he looked upon the
features of woman Of middle age,
strong mature face of marked re-
finement, exceedingly attractive still,
with smiling dark eyes, and a perfect
wealth of reddish brown hair. He
held the locket open in his hand for
several minutes, wondering who she
could be, and what possible connec-

attack, but must guard against treach-
cry. AS he rode, his eyes never left
those far-away sand dunes, although
he perceived no movement, no black
dot even which he could conceive to
be a possible enemy. Now that he
possessed ample time for thought. the
situation became more puzzling This
tragedy which he had accidentally
stumbled upon must have had cause
other than blind chance. 1t was the
elimination of plot, with some rea-
son behind more important than ordi-
nary robbery. Apparently the wagons
contained nothing of value, merely the
clothing, provisions, and ordinary
utensils Of an emigrant party. Nor
had the victims pockets been care
fully searched. Only the mules had
been taken by the raiders, and they
would be small booty for such a

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave

 She had been neglected by him; he had beaten her; he had starved her and often refused to pay the rent.
 She had stood his making fun of her family and all sorts of other indignities that a resourceful man can concoct to worry the life and soul out of you.
 She stood it all, but the straw that broke the camel's back was handed out to the judge, in the case of Smith vs. Smith, the other day. when the lady de- clarcd that the gentleman had "belttled her clothes.'
