modern Miss Captain Kidd, the First
Lady of the Gang. They must have
a boat, they cover so much ground,
or, at least, 80 much water, in one
night. They have appeared in
Jamestown, across the bay from
Newport, where many very wealthy
Philadelphians have Summer
homes. They have looted places at
Narragansett Pier. which is less
than an hours sail down the bay.
1t is physical impossibility to go
from one of these places to another
at night in anything but boat, and
the boat must be of the swiftest
kind. SO the private detectives en-

men and one girl In it. 1t has been
practically proven that these pirates
mingle freely with the cottagers at
the Casino, at Bailey's Beach and at
many OF the large private entertain-

land. They know every twist and

is therefore obvious that they have
been received as guests In them.

had RUN their speedy noiseless boat

A DAINTY DISH.
How to 6roiI a Sparrow by Uncle
Sans Recipe.

In most localities in the United
States English sparraws are pest
There is therefore no reason why the
birds should not be utilized for food
in this country. as they have been in
the old world for centuries, says a
recent farmers bulletin issued by the
department of agriculture. Their llesh
is palatable, and though their bodies
are small their numbers fully compen-
safe for their lack Of size.
To kill mercifully sparrow that has
been trapped. place the thumbnail at
tie base Of IFS skull and dislocate its
neck by hard and quick pressure. To
dress it, cut Off the N'gs, the wings at
the outer Joint, and the neck close to
the body. Strip of the skin, beginning
at the neck Make cut through the
body wall extending from the neck
along the backbone till the ribs are
severed. then around between the legs
to the tail. and remove the yiscera.
If sparrows are to be broiled save
only the breasts, as this method of
cooking so shrivels and parches the
lesser parts as to render them worth
less. In this case tear off a strip Of
skin from wing to wing across the
back; grasp the wings in front of the
body in one hand and the neck in the
other, and by quick pull separate the
breast from the ribs; turn the breast
out of the skin that covers it and
sever the wings at the second joint
The whole operation requires but a
fraction of a minute, and it can be
done by the fingers alone.
Sparrows may be cooked by any of
the methods employed for reedbirds or
quail When boned, broiled, buttered
and served on toast they are particular
ly good and compare favorably with
the best kinds of small game.
