COFFEE SERVED IN ORANGES

method has been used successfully IN

greenish water removes poisonous
substance, makes the bean clear and
white when cooked and they cook In
less time, too. Others have used SODA
water for cooking rice for a few min

which is a coating of talcum, and
glue-like substance in which pure rice
is immersed before it is ready for
market.

they? Whose house had they uncere-
moniously broken into? A clammy
chill crept down Bartlett's back and
his ford face grew still redder.
None of the others was noticing him.
The general was prowling around to
see that the enemy could not come
upon them unawares. The Watermelon
had lifted the basket on to the table
and the girls were preparing gaily to
set forth the repast, all three rum
maging in closets and drawers for
plates and knives and forks.
The general returned to the table.
"All serene along the Potomac" said
he, thrusting his hands into his peck
cts and peering into the basket with
renewed hope. Henrietta smiled gaily.
Father" said she, "in all our lives,
we have never had an adventure be-
fore, because you persist in using
those blue books"
The general laughed and helped
himself to a sandwich.
Billy opened the dresser and peered
gingerly in, her small nose wrinkled
for any unforeseen emergency. She
had taken off her hat, and her soft
yellow hair. bound back by black
velvet snood, escaped around her tenn
pies In tiny waves. Her eyes, thought
the Watermelon, were brighter than
the lamp upon the table and her laugh
ing, kissable mouth redder than the
crimson lips Of the fair creatures in
the gay calendars on the wall. Her
hand upon the latch of the door was
so near his own, that he was tempted
to put his on it, but instead slipped
his into his pocket with delicacy he
did not recognize in himself. She was
a girl, young and sweet and attractive

bulk of a house looming out Of the
night, some little way ahead.
That's the place." said he. 1--WE can
spend the night there and get one of
the best chicken breakfasts l ever
ate"
The general looked at the place and
rallied his sinking spirits. 1t appeared
dark and he should say it was desert
ed, but Bartlett doubtless knew what
he was talking about. The people
probably lived in the kitchen. He was
hungry and tired and the thought of
hot sausages, bread and jam and milk
and then a soft cool bed was nearly
as good as the reality. He turned
gaily to the quiet three in the tom
neau
Wake up and hear the birds sing"
Bartlett glanced back and laughed
ASLEEP, Ell? We're there he added,
turning the car neatly into the open
driveway. Guess you won't refuse a
good supper very strenuously."
The drive was rough and they rolled
slowly up to a great dark house, stand
ing on a slight rise of ground, typi-
cal New England farmhouse, square
and gaunt and unadorned, with small
front stoop and long side porch.
From the trees behind the house,
came the dismal cry of boot owl,
as the cars came to rest, and an an
swering cry from the grove across the
road.
Ghosts" whispered the general.
"Oh, hush" pleaded Billy. There is
no need of fooling with things like
that"
"This house amt lived in" said the
Watermelon, as he slipped from the
car to straighten his cramped legs.
Folks gone to bed" explained Bart
lett cheerfully, since he was not the
one who had gone to bed. 1--WE will
just have to rout them out"
He shut off the power and alighted
from the car, pulling off his gloves. Al
phonse came up in the other car and
peered out at the dark, quiet, lonely
house and shook his head with fore
| bodings.
There isn't anyone here" insisted
the Watermelon, asleep or awake"
The general climbed out IF we had
consulted the book"
my dear SIR" interrupted Bartlett,
a bit irritated, "the book could not
possibly have told US that the family
had moved since last fall when / spent
| two weeks here, hunting"
Certainly not" laughed Henrietta,
who spent good part of her life steer
ing with infinite care and constantly
growing skill between the Scylla OF
her fathers wrath and the Charybdis
of the hurt feelings of those whom the
! general had offended. This is simply
one of the unforeseen misfortunes OF
the road"
Besides" said Bartlett, I'VE don't
know that the Higginses have gone!",
Don't you see that there aren't any
signs of life?" demanded the Water
melon. He had lived by his wits SO
long that he noticed instinctively the
little things which mean SO much and
are generally overlooked. eff there
was anyone here some window would
be open on a night like this. wouldn't

Bartlett looked at the house and
nodded gloomily 81 guess you are

81 will get the blue book" said the
general, with the calm satisfaction of
one who at last come into his own.

What 10 we want blue book to do
that for?" sneered Bartlett 81 should

The general agreed. Certainly. 1t
is warm and we can spend the night
outside quite comfortably II you do
not want to return to the village"
Billy shuddered and glanced appeal
ingly at the Watermelon. A deserted
house was bad enough. but outside
where the owls called dismally from
the woods and where bats fitted by in
the dark held possibilities infinitely
worse.

1t will be all right to break in. They
are like my own folks"
The Watermelon Immediately
jumped to the porch, disdaining the
few steps, and disappeared behind the
vines which covered one end and con-
cealed the window.
Bartlett turned reassuringly to the
general 1T will be all right, Charlie.

Ghosts said Henrietta.
Billy pinched her. IF you think

Certainly there are ghosts said
Henrietta. There always are In

A light cleaned moment through
the crack of the door and then the
door opened and the Watermelon
grinned at them in the light of small
smoky lamp he held.
Where did YOU get the lampT'
asked the general as the Watermelon
led the way in.
Found it." said the Watermelon
1.-THE place is furnished. The family
is probably only away for visit" He
set the lamp on the table and from
long habit wiped his dusty hand on
his trouser leg. 81 fell over every
thing in the room before got next to

He glanced about with some pride
and the others stood in semicircle
and stared around. The room was a
typical country kitchen, huge stove
side by side with a large chintz-cov
cred rockingham. A dresser for the
crockery and a haircloth lounge took
up one side There was center table
with a red checked cloth, few chairs
and a sewing machine near the win
dow.
Bartlett glanced around and at every
unfamiliar object his heart sank low
er and lower and his first sickenine
suspicion became a painful fact. He
had never lived there. Everything was
strange, the furniture, the rugs, the
very shape of the room. Where were
