The dog seemed to appreciate the

He went to a saloon near by and

and found that Mr.. HARRISON had dis
covered some eggs and was standing
helplessly staring at them.
"Omelet - eggs. Eggs = omelet.
That's the extent Of my knowledge"
he said, when I entered. you'll have
to come to my assistance"
1t was then that saw the cook
book. 1t was lying on a shelf beside
the clock. and while Mr.. HARRISON had
his hack turned got 1t down. It was
quite clear that the domestic type Of
woman was his ideal, and did not
care to outrage his belief in me. So I
took the cook book into the pantry
and read the recipe over three times.
When l came back I knew It by heart,
although did not understand 1t.
II will tell you how" said with q
great deal Of dignity. land since you
want to help. you may make 1t your
self"
He was delighted.
"Fine!" he said. Suppose you give
me the idea first. Then we'll go over
it slowly, bit by bit. Well make a
big fluffy omelet, and II the others
aren't around. we'll eat It ourselves"
WELL" l said, trying to remember
exactly, you take two eggs"
''Two!" he repeated. "Two eggs for
ten people!"
Don't interrupt me-" I said irrita-
bly,. Tiff two isn't enough we can
make several omelets, one after the
other"
He looked at me with admiration.
who else but you would have
thought of that he remarked. "Well,
here are two eggs. What next?"
Separate them," said easily. No.
l didn't know what 1t meant l hoped
he would: l said it as casually as I
could, and l did not look at him. I
knew he was staring at me, puzzled.
Separate them!" he said. "Why,
they aren't fastened together" Then
he laughed. "Oh, yes, Of course!"
When l looked he had put one at each
end Of the table. Afraid they'll quar-
rel, l suppose" he said. well, now
they're separated"
Then beat"
First separate, then beat!" he re-
peated. The author of that cook
book must have had a mean disposi-
ton. What's next? Hang them?" He
looked up at me with his boyish
smile.
Separate and beat" repeated. II
| lost q word of that recipe I was
gone. It was like saying the alphabet:
l had to go to the beginning every
time. mentally.
WELL" he reflected, you can't beat
an egg, no matter how cruel you may
be, unless you break 1t first" He
picked up an egg and looked at It.
Separated" he reflected. "Ah-the
white from the-whatever you cook
ing experts call 1.-THE yellow part"
Exactly" I exclaimed. light break
ing on me. "Of course, l knew you
would find out" Then back to the re-
cipe-"beat until well mixed; then
fold in the whites"
"Fold?" he questioned. 1T looks
pretty thin to fold, doesn't It? +
upon my word, never heard of fold
ing an egg. Are you-but Of course
you know. Please come and show me

And then he let out the policeman
and brought him into the kitchen. He
was a large man, and his face was a
curious mixture of Amusement, alarm
and dignity. No doubt we did look
queer. still In parts of our evening
clothes and I in the white silk lace

gown. with a yellow and black pa

fortunate position earlier in the morn
ing, and he is prepared to accept our
hospitality. Flanagan. every person
in this house has got to work. as l
also explained to you. You are ap-

The policeman looked dazed. Then.
slowly, like dawn over a sleeping
lake, a light of comprehension grew
in his face.
Sure" he said, laying his helmet
on the table. ''I'll be glad to be doing
anything l can to help. Me and Mrs.
Wilson-we used to be friends. It's
many the time I've opened the car

head in the air, and for all that, the
pleasant smile. When any one around
her was having a party and wanted a
special officer, it was Mrs. Wilson that
always said. Get Flanagan, Ofiicer
Timothy Flanagan. He's your man."
My heart had been going lower and
lower. So he knew Bella, and he
knew l was not Bella, although he had
not grasped the fact that was usurp-
ing her place. And the odious Harbi-

his feet.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

1T Is just year ago that my SIS
ter came over here to US. She had
been here only a few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as II she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home reme-
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used hot. tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She was scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to doctor, because she could
hardly work any more. The doctor
said it was very severe disease, and
If she did not follow his orders close
ly she might lose her eyesight. He
made her eyes burn and applied cleo
tricity to them, and gave her various
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that we thought we would try it, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering of the
eyes. She could already see better,
and in six weeks she was cured"

Bulky food serves to promote diges-

A ration rich in carbon will pro-
duce too much fat.
1t is not necessary to build elab-
crate poultry houses.
Too highly stimulating food Is apt
to cause liver troubles.
Red beets, either cooked or raw.
are excellent for fowls.
The best preventives for mites are
cleanliness and sunlight.
Geese should have access to green
forage as early as possible.
Having chosen your incubator,
study the book of directions and fol-
low it carefully.
Food rich in carbohydrates tends to
the production Of fat, and fat hens are
not the best of layers.
1t is very bad policy to feed the
hens nothing but corn; but it is be-
ing done by many. Feed a variety.
The trap nest is the only device
that will pick the laying from the non
LAYING hens with absolute certainty.
The waste from the barn floor, corn
shelter, hay yards, etc.. make excel
lent scratching material for poultry.
For all, the production of eggs is an
important object in poultry-keeping;
for the great number of people it is
the main object.
For the chickens alone you will find
a feed mill pay, but it is wiser plan
to buy one large enough to handle
feed for all stock.
To produce fertile. hatchable eggs
that will bring forth vigorous. livable
