persons. In the Magdalenean period
the population was probably sixty. Re

down he had drawn it still closer to
his own. The doctor says my hand

Place of Meat.

In America, unfortunately, cheese
seems to be regarded more as lux
ury than as a staple article of diet,
yet one pound of cheese is equal in
food value to two pounds Of meat. 1t
is rich in both protein and fat Con-
sidering this, its price is very low.
and it ought to do good service In
the place of meat It's food value is
fully recognized abroad. In Switzer-
land and to a great extent In Germany
and Italy, cheese is part Of the
daily food given to the outdoor labor
ers in the place Of meat. A great ad-
vantage in using cheese. and one that
should appeal strongly to the over
worked housewife, is that it is gen.
orally given uncooked. There Is some
doubt as to the digestibility of cheese.

Men wonder at what they do not
understand, but a seeming marvel
ften becomes absurdly simple when
1t is explained. Many years ago a
schoolmaster, in the course of his
travels, had occasion to stay for day
or two at a country travern. AS he
sat in the public room with dozen
other persons, evidently natives of the
place, there came along man with
fat hog that he was driving to market.
Leaving the animal outside, he en-
tered the inn and joined the little
company. Several of the latter went
to the window to look at the hog.

- Cheese a Valuable Diet

pound daily-and by people who lead
an active outdoor life, 1t is about as
easily digested as meat. For the aver
age person, who takes but little out
door exercise, cheese is hard to d.
gest. This is true of most kinds as
purchased in our market, but the
homemade cottage cheese, often call
ed clabber cheese, is an exception.
This dish is easy to prepare and Is
very economical where there is a
home supply of milk. 1t is good way
to use up the overplus of sour milk
on the farm. Cottage cheese makes a
nice tea or supper dish, and is so pal
atable and nutritious.

CHAPTER XXI.
A Man of No Principle.

Monsieur Chatelard's disappearance
was as complete as though he had
dropped off the earth The sheriff,
with his warrant in his pocket, hid
his chagrin behind the sugar and flour
barrels whose sale occupied his time
when he wasn't losing malefactors.
Chamberlain, having once freed his
mind to the grave-like Hand, main
tanned absolute silence on the subject,
SO far as the audience at the old red
house was concerned But he went
into consultation with Aleck, and to-
gether they laid network of police
inspection about Ilion and Charles
port.
1T won't do any good grumbled
Chamberlain. We'll have to catch
him and choke him with our own
hands, if it ever gets done"
Nevertheless, they left nothing to
chance. Telegraph and telephone were
brought into requisition, and within
twenty-four hours after the disap-
pearance every station on the railroad,
as well as every village along the
coast, was warned to arrest the fugi-
tive if he came that way. Mr.. Cham
berlain took the white motor and went
off on long. mysterious journeys,
coming back only to go into secret
conclave with Aleck, or mysteriously
to rush off again.
Aleck Van Camp stayed at home,
keeping a dog-watch on Melanie and
Madame Reynier, whether they were
at the Hillside or at the old red
house. Now that the purposes of the
Frenchman had been made clear, and
since he was still at large, the world
was no safe place for unattended
women. Aleck pondered deeply over
the situation.
is your amiable cousins henchman
man to be scared off by our recent
little encounter, do you think?" he
asked OF Melanie.
She considered. HE might be
scared. easily enough. But | know
well that he has a contempt for the
usual machinery of the law He has
evaded it so many times that he
thinks it an easy matter"
Aleck smiled whimsically Il don't
wonder at that, if he has had many
experiences like the last"
He boasts that he can bride any
body
"Ah, so. But how much rope would
the duke give him, do you think, on
a pinch?"
All the rope he cares to take
Stephens protection is all-powerful in
Krolvetz; and elsewhere Chatelard de-
ponds, as / have said, on his wits"
But there must be some limit to
the dukes stretch of conscience!"
Melanie's eyes took on their far
away look. Perhaps there is,' she
said at last, but who can guess where
that limit is? Besides, all he asks of
his henchmen is results. He never
inquiries as to methods"
We'll, what do you think is the
exact result Duke Stephen wants, in
this case?"
He wants me either to return to
Krolvetz and marry his brother, Or
Melanie's hesitation was prolonged.
"Or-what?"
COR to disappear so completely that
there will be no question Of my re
turn. You see. it's a peculiar case.
If marry without his consent"
which you are about to do" cut

go into the public treasury. where they
will he strictly accounted for But if
