was nobody's fool, least of all his own.
The hidden meaning of the trey of

A Chef Suggests:

That small pieces of chicken with
the merest bit OF its own liver pounded
up with some cream and little cora
line pepper make delicious paste to
spread ON thin slices of brown bread.
Before attempting to seed raisins
cover them with hot water and let
them stand Is minutes; then the seeds
can be removed easily without any
waste.
The leftover cooked potatoes should
not be piled together. as they will sour
quickly; spread them out ON large
dish
That teaspoonful of curry powder
added to the cream sauce in which
macaroni is baked greatly improves
the flavor.

ton, TO find that the Indian had
thoughnully touched a match to the
pyre before departing. At Alan's feet
the twigs were blazing nerrily.
II would have been easy enough,
acting on instinct. to snatch HIS limbs
away, but he did not move more than
to strain his feet as far as their bonds
permitted. Conscious OF scorching
heat even through his hunting boots,
he suffered that torture until q tongue
Of flame licked up. wrapped itself
round the thick hempen cord and ate

Immediately Alan kicked his feet
free, lifted to kneeling position, and
crawled from the pyre.
As for his hands-Alan's hunting

against the razor-sharp blade.
Before Alan could turn and run he
saw a vanguard Of flames bridge so
yards at a bound and start a dead
pine blazing like a torch.
And then he was pelting like a mad
man across the smoked-flled clearing,
and in less than two minutes broke
from the forest to the pebbly shore Of
a wide-bosomed lake, and within a
few hundred feet Of substantial
dam, through whose spillway heavy
volume of water cascaded with a roar
rivaling that OF the forest-flre itself.
Two quick glances showed Alan two

was via the dam; that there was a
solitary canoe at mid,lake, bearing
swiftly to the farther shore Judith

At the same time, he noted that the
distance between dam and canoe had

He turned again and ran swiftly
