one part water for coffee
When you use it in cooking,i is like using
cream. It gives to milk dishes richness
and favor which you never get from milk

For this is the whole milk as 1t comes

Milkman's milk separates before 1t gets to
you. It separates after you get 1t. When it
gets to the cooking it is rarely more than
half milk Van Camps is the whole milk
that is the difference

what this means. One milk dish will for

Rumors OF this state of affairs to

graphic description made the situation
appear terribly real, and my thought

CHATTER XVII.
An Embarrassing Situation.

1t was well into the third day when
we came down into the fertile valley
of the Cowskin. 1t had proven an un-
eventful ride thus far, for we had met
with no adventures and had observed
little worthy of consideration from a
military standpoint.
While constantly observant Of those
points regarding which had been dis
patched, my one Overmastering
thought during all those hours was the
possibility Of again meeting with Edith
Brennan and proving of some assist
ance to her. Her greeting of me in
the Federal hospital had been SO
sweetly gracious, SO marked with ten
der sympathy, while the memory Of
her words, and even more of the look
which accompanied them, had SO re-
NAMED with me in encouragement
that | longed to encounter her again.
God knows what l hoped for, for
knew well it must all inevitably end
IN despair, yet like the moth l must
continue to SINCE my wings until the
flame devoured me. Now, however, as
we actually drew near to where sup
posed she might be, felt my earlier
courage fast deserving me. Nor was
I furnished with even the slightest
excuse for pressing on; my orders did
not positively compel me to proceed.
and nothing appeared along the way
to lead me to suppose that harm Of
any kind threatened that peaceful val.

hoped for what might happen, as
every lover does.
1t must have been two o'clock; we
had baited our horses, remember, an
hour previous; and the Sergeant had
enjoyed his MONDAY siesta beneath
the shade Of great bush bearing pur-
pie blossoms. The road we had been
travelling since early morning wound
in and out among great trees, and
crossed and recrossed the little stream
called the Cowskin until I almost
thought we had lost our way. We met
with no one in all the leEg days rid
Ing, not even stray negro, and in
deed 1t was some hours since we had
passed a house of any kind. Leaving
the brook behind us we toiled slowly
up long hill, and at the top Bungay,
riding beside me, pointed to the west
ward.
Cap" he said, thar is Their Minor
place"
The very sight of 1t in the distance
was a thrill-a great white house
placed well back from the road and
almost hidden from sight by fine,
large trees an old-fashioned, big
roomed house it looked to be, built
after the colonial type, wide veranda
upon three sides, with fiuted columns
to support the overhanging roof.
"Hain't no signs es fer es kin see

roaming over the peaceful scene.
