another officer of the company, resi-.

The Young Person was about to
bake cookies. Brother Frank watched

thick brown syrup drip slowly into
the CUP like 'lasses."

she replied, rolling the cold dough
Nov. go read Chapter II. In your
book there. and by that time | may

read too fast" So Frank left her to
her devices, and she went quickly
about her task. While the cup Of
molasses was reaching the boiling
point in its granite pan on the stove,
she mixed in the big bowl two cups
OF whole wheat flour, one Of rolled
oats, and one OF white -four, tea
mon (powdered) of cloves-no ginger
for Frank did not like ginger. To
the hot molasses she added four level
tablespoonfuls OF shortening, quarter
OF a cup OF sugar, and quarter of a
cup Of milk. She mixed this with
the dry ingredients, and put 1t on the
ice to chill while she mixed her cake,
to take advantage OF the oven at its
hottest. By the time her cake was
out Of the oven Frank had wandered
back, hungry boy fashion.

mo; but they will be soon now
she replied, rolling the cold dough
very thin, cutting 1t deity with the
round top Of cocoa tin and laying
the trim circles on a wire cake tray.
Into the oven II went, and Frank soon
shifted while she still rolled and cut.
"They must be done, Sir; that's
