: What would Dan say II he knew
she asked herself as she dried little
Tom and put on his clean clothes. Dan
was so terribly upright. He hated
gossip. and would have been disgusted
with her for the mere repeating OF IL,
to say nothing OF her taking refuge in
a lie.
/ No, Tommy. you can't go out now -
she said TO him when he was dressed.
You are all clean. and you must keep
so. for Aunty is coming to lunch. Be
good boy and don't bother mother
while she works"
/ II her mind had been less preoccupied
she would have become aware after a
while Of the long and ominous silence
that followed this injunction. She was
not aware Of it until a terrible crash
from the region OF the pantry brought
her to her feet. She ran out.
A quart preserve jar once full OF jam
lay scattered all over the pantry floor.
She would never have believed that one
quart Of jam could so so far; 1t had
spattered in luscious fashion all over
the walls. And for all the sign OF life
there was anywhere near it, il must
have fallen Of itself.
She knew better. Of course. and called
sharply:
Tom
No answer.
Tom! Answer me at once. Where
are you?"
But it was not until she had instituted
a search that the Culprit Was discovered
attempting to steal down the cellar
stairs. Her anger aggravated by his at
tempt to escape she seized the child by
the arm and snatched him back into the
kitchen. His face and hands bore mute
witness to his guilt: not only they. but
his clothes. clean an hour since, were
smeared. 1t was no use denying. but
Tommy. frightened by her severity.
which he felt to be righteous and by his
own guilty conscience. denied blindly.
Il didn't do 1t. l didn't do it," he
cried without waiting to be accused:
and then. seeing her stern and inexor-
able face he began TO scream inartiCu-
lately.
The mother set her lips hard. and her
grasp on his arm grew tense. Several
powerful emotions struggled within her
anger at his disobedience. despair at
the work he had made her, contempt
that he should tell lie, and fear at her
own passion. 1t seemed for a moment
had the powerful impulse to strike, ami
to strike in anger. For a ,noment it
was a question whether she would do
burst into tears. like Tom.
She did neither. for after a moment
the gust passed and she vas able to
think connectedly. And the thought
that came was,
The same lie-exactly the same lie
and he is only a child"
She let go his arm.
Hush. Tommy" she said: and wait
ed. distrusting herself too much to speak
Presently she added. why do you tell
mother that?'
II didn't mean to-" sobbed Tommy re-
pentantly. Don't tell papar'
Her own thought, She sat down and
lifted him on her knee and then. re-
sorting to an old formula between them
that had never been SO significant before
IF We don't tell papa she whispered.

And he answered with a kiss after
each word.

WHEN MEAT PRICES SOAR.

When the meat price scars Is very
rood time to discover for yourself the
roodness that exists in a great many OF
the portions Of meat which are usually
IN this country, looked down upon. For
instance, in a great many places many OF
the so-called ''organs" can be bought tor
a very low figure. There Is really no
GROUND for the prejudice against these
portions Of meat, and just to show how
absurd Is the feeling, bear in mind the
fact that sEeetbreads are looked upon as
one Of the greatest Of dainties, and ac-
cordinEIy in most places fetch a very
high price Calfs liver is one Of the
accepted cuts Of meat. though It too,
Is an organ, but lambs liver is. in most
places, almost a drug in the market
Lambs lIvers can be had in many places
for as low a figure as 10 cents piece
and one lambs liver may be prepared 10
serve four or FIVE people plentifully. As
far as the nutritive qualities OF these
'organ" cuts OF meat go they come up
10 mar. A beef heart as purchased has
practically the same fuel value per pound
as the Ioin tenderloin Of beef as pur-
chased, and the mutton liver as pur-
chased has a fuel value per pound a little
ahead Of that of the hind leg OF mutton
as purchased.
According to Farmers Bulletin No. b26
of the United .-taTes Department Of Agri-
culture, kidneys of mutton may be served
broIled, fried or stewed. The liver Is
served braised. the heart Is cooked IN
water after having been fried. The brains
are boiled and then fried and the tongue
is boiled or parboiled. after which 1t may
be prepared in a great variety Of ways.

liciOus filling for brown bread.

For delicious confection to serve with
tea, Marguerites hold first place, and are
simply made. The only warning is -
keep them in a dry place.
Cream cheese mixed with chopped wal
nuts, or Crea9 cheese mixed with nj
