move the inside contents, wash in cold
water and wipe. Stun, truss, sprinkle
with salt and pepper and cook, breast
down. in the roasting pan. II roasted
breast up, cover the breast with strips
Of bacon, which will keep it from be-
coming too dry.

hot mashed potato, q cup and a fourth
of bread crumbs, a fourth of a cup OF
chopped salt pork, a f1nely-chopped on
beaten egg, a teaspoonful and a half
OF salt and a teaspoonful of sage. Mix
all together and stuff the goose.
Chestnut Stuffing.-Cook half u ta-
b~lespoonful of finely chopped shallot
with three tablespoonfuls of butter;
add a fourth Of a pound of sausage
meat, and cook two minutes, then add
twelve mushrooms, finely chopped, a
cup of chestnut PURGE (which is chest

The passenger nodded.

The passenger looked up and shivered. She thought of the bitterly
cold. dark night. of the raging, implaeable torrent below, of the faal result
Of n misstep in that complicated maze Of seemingly cobwebby strands OF
wire. and suddenly a IA of admiration and respect for this grizzled.
weather-beaten, apparently commonplace man swept over her. She thought
of the passengers riding in comfort in the train soo to cross that bridge.
and of how much depended upon this man. this IA who looked sc ordt-
nary an who, nine out oft en- men meeting him on the street, would con-
slider beneath them. Yet he had deliberately and without hesitation taken
his life in his hands o that cold, dark night that those whom he didnt

Just what kin is Hannibal to you,
Mr.. Yancy?" asked the judge resum-
ing his seat.
Strictly speaking. he amt none.
That he come to live with me is all
owing to Mr.. CTenshaw. who's good
man when left to himself. but he's
got wife, SO body may say ne never
is left to himself" began Yancy; and
then briefly he told the story OF the
woman and the child much as he had
told it TO Bladen at the Barony the
day of General Quintard's funeral.
The Judge, his back to the light and
his face in shadow. rested his left Ell
bow on the desk and with his chin
sunk in his palm, followed the Scratch
Killers narrative with the closest at
tention.
And General Quintard never saw
him-never manifested any Interest
In him." the words came slowly from
the judges lips; he seemed to gull
down something that rose in his
throat. Poor little lad" he NUT
tered, and again, Poor little lad!
Never once, sir. He told the
slaves to keep him out OF his sight

hair and a complexion of youth

and many times people have
risen from hotel tables where
they have been seated, as though
they feared contamination. All
this has made Kate Debs draw
within herself, and live only for
her husband.
All this, however, Mrs. Debs
counts as naugh beside the COM
partnership and admiration of the
great socialist leader. She would
not change places with the wom-
an who will occupy the White
House next year.
Mrs. Debs dresses simply. She
has some handsome jewels given
her by her family, from which
she inherited a competence. She
does most of her own work, but
says that she does not have to
cook when Mr.. Debs is at home,
as cooking is his one fad.
