He then soaks 1t in warm water for
about twelve hours, keeping the ham
submerged. Then he puts 1t into a
dishpan in which he has placed a
plate or pie pan to keep tho ham from
coming into contact with the bottom
OF the pan, covering 1t with another

CHAPTER XXIV.

Riding up the pike one sun shot af
ternoon in the golden September, Tom
saw Ardea entering the open door of
the Morwenstow church copy, drew
rein, flung himself out OF the saddle
and followed her. She saw him and
stopped In the vestibule, quaking a lit
tie as she felt she must always quake
until the impossible chasm of weldock
with another should be safely opened
between them.

How is your father to-day?" she
asked, not daring to trust speech 9TH
erwise.
He is the same as he was yester-
day and the day before; the same as
he Will always be from this on-a
broken man."
You will strike back?" She said it
with infinite sadness in her voice and
an upcasting of eyes that were swim
ming. II don't question your right
but pity you. The blow may be Just.
1 don't know-yet 1t will fall hardest
on you In the end, Tom"
His smile was almost boyish In its
frank anger. But there was a mans
sneer in his words
Excuse me; 1 forgot for the mo-
ment that we are In a church. But l
am taking consequences, these DAYS"
She looked out from the cool. dark
refuge of the vestibule when he mount
ed and rode on, and her heart was full.
1t was Madness vindictive madness
and fell anger But 1t was a generous
wrath, large and man-like. 1t was not
to be blow In the dark or In the

would not strike without first giving

Easier work, shorter hours. better

more than a day laborer; an educated
man has the advantage over his un-
schooled brother.
Many boy goes to school to get
out Of work, hoping to get soft

living. A good school has little room
for such boys. When a young fell

HOW TO EARN $40 A DAY

Most boys would be willing to work
for much less than $40 day. The
fact is that few of them expect ever
to get such a sum for days work.
They all expect to work, and many
of them are anxious for the school
days to pass SO they can get at 1t.
Some boys actually stop school 10
work for so to rs cents day, or even
less, and think they are lucky, never
stopping to think OF the value of a
