humdrum and stereotyped fashion of

the spirit of romance which all of US

She lost herself in pleasing imagina

she could tell when she got back to
her uncle, and when she got further
back to staid old Philadelphia. How
shocked everybody would be with 1t

that she would never mention one ep

somehow absolute confidence that this
man, in spite of his grim, gruff tact
turnity, who had shown himself so ex-
ceed1ngly considerate of her feelings,
would never mention it either.
She had so much food for thought
the long day could she force her mind
to the printed pages of the book she
had taken at random from the shelf
which lay open before her, where she
sat in the sun, her head covered by an
old "Stetson" that she had ventured
to appropriate. She had dragged a
bear skin out on the rocks in the sun
and sat curled up on it half reclining
against a boulder watching the trail,
the Winchester by her side. She had
eaten so late breakfast that she had
made a rather frugal lunch out Of
whatever had taken her fancy in the
store room, and she was waiting most
anxiously now for the return of the
man.
The season was late and the sun
sank behind the peaks quite early in
the afternoon, and it grew dark and
chill long before the shadows fell upon
the jewellers of the lowlands.
Enid drew the Bear skin around her
and waited with an ever-growing APP

HOW TO COOK BACON
NEED NOT ALWAYS BE SERVED
IN SAME OLD WAY.
Should Be Thoroughly Chilled Before
Frying to Get Best Results-Vari-
Gus Nice Ways of Serving as
Breakfast r.

There is a proper and an improper
way TO cook bacon. One unfortunately
sees too much of the latter Baked
on a rack or a broiler, it is consider
ed more wholesome than when it is
fried, but most of the trouble with
fried bacon lies not in the fact chat it
is fried, but rather in the way it is
fried. 1t is too often sent to the table
either half cooked and floating in
grease, or else it is dried up and half
burned.
To fry bacon ideally, 1t should, after
it has been cut into thin slices, be
placed on ice to become thoroughly
chilled. The pan must be very hot. so
that the bacon curls into little rolls as
soon as the pan is shaken. Fry 1t
thoroughly, but not long enough to
harden it.
Bacon baked as follows is free from
grease: Cut it into thin slices and
place them on rack such as is used
for roasting meat or upon a gridiron
placed over dripping pan. Have the
oven very hot and let the slices re-
main IN it until they are crisp and
bro--G
Tie following is a unique way of
broiling bacon: Cut it into thin slices
as usual, place cracked ice over them,
and let them stand in this way until
they are chilled. After broiling the
slices on one side place them again
on the ice. In a moment or two put
back Oh the fire, and broil them on the
other side until done. The sudden
change of temperature is believed to
improve bacon.
There are many nice ways of sery-
ing bacon As a breakfast dish. Toma-
toes fried with bacon are a favorite
dish in many English households. Cut
the tomatoes in slices, season with
salt and pepper, and, ii preferred, dip
In egg and bread crumbs before fry
ing.
A catsup gravy is very nice when
fried in bacon. Pour off the super
fiuous grease after frying. add a little
catsup mixed with water and thicken
with -four, If necessary. About a quar-
ter OF cupful OF water is added to
half cupful of catsup.
Fried bacon with cream gravy makes
a nice breakfast dish in spring, with
corn bread. After cooking the bacon
free 1t from superfluous grease. Add
a little flour and milk to the drippings
that remain, cook the sauce on top of
the stove and pour it over the bacon.
Another way to prepare this dish is %
soak the bacon in cold milk for 20
minutes before cooking, afterward
dipping the slices in flour and frying
in very hot creased frying pan. The
soaking in milk gives a fine flavor to
the bacon and the flour, and the flour
insures crisp crust. Shake the pan
well while cooking, and after brown
ing thoroughly on both sides remove
the bacon. Pour off superfiuous grease
and place the slices on rough brown
paper to absorb any fat that may ad-
here to the outside. Stir into the fry.
Ing pan one or two tablespoonfuls of
-four, gradually adding the milk the
bacon was soaked in, and season with
salt and pepper When the sauce is
thick pour it over the bacon and serve
at once.

serving is to pass rock candy, broken

even half lump of sugar. So the
rock candy not only is advantageous.
