will cause her any inconvenience.
Here are some of the many things
which will be useful, although each
housewife will find additions and
changes to make, suitable to her
needs.
First, have a few cans of good
soup. This, with some crisp crackers,
makes a fine beginning to any hur-
ried meal and may be prepared almost
as quickly as it takes to write it. One
may add milk or cream to extend the
amount of these soups and usually 1t
improves them.
On this shelf have a few cans of
fish, such as funny or tuna, salmon
and crab or lobster; these may be
used in various ways as salads, hot
dishes or chowders if so desired. Cut
lets, using a can of salmon, adding
white sauce, rolling in crumbs and
frying in deep fat, will go further
than can of salmon served plain.
A box of Goldfish, jars of pickles,
canned corn beef and dried beef, OIL
ives, canned fruit, nuts and dates are
other helpful furnishings to the shelf!
Even lemon pie filling comes canned
now to use in an emergency. These
foods are expensive for everyday use,
but to have some of these things on
the shelf even if used but once a year,
will prove worth the investment.
A few quickly prepared menus
should be at hand, so that in the hurry
one need only glance at them to
choose a good meal.

AT tnat moment the maid was ad-

fruit.

gave the basket to the maid, touched

but she did not alter her course The
rowboat had its sides crushed in and

began to swim madly for the motor

"After dinner, then, since you know
some of his haunts. There is re-

Jones laughed shortly. Keep it

willingly double whatever this reward
is to eliminate these despicable crea-
lures from his affairs"
Thanks" /
While this conversation was takingI
place Norton idled about; and feelingl
the cravings for cigarette, prepared
to roll one, only to find that he hadn't
the "makings" So fate urged him to
step into the nearest tobacconist's.
He asked for his favorite brand and
passed over the silver.
Braine and his companions saw Nor
ton enter the shop. It agreed with
their plans perfectly. The tobacconist
happened to be affiliated with the Or
der. So they hurried into the shop.
Jim instantly realized that he was in
a trap.
"How can l get out of here?" he
whispered to the tobacconist.
The latter smiled. 81 have TO obey
these gentlemen. I don't know what
they want you for; but if I made a
move to help you. should find my
own throat cut without saving yours"
"The DEVIL"
Jim made a dash for the rear door,
to find it locked. Even as he fumbled
with the key, Braine and his COM
panions flung themselves upon the re-
porter and overpowered him.
"Ah, my friend Braine!" he said.
"My friend Norton!" jeered the vic |
tor.
"And what do you want; some
peaches?"
GA paper, my friend, little secret |
of paper with invisible writing on it.
We promise to give you something in
exchange for it."
"What?' asked Jim with as much |
nonchalance as he could assume.
Life"
Search said Jim. "You won't OBJ
ject to my smoking?" He began to
roll cigarette while they passed over
him. He struck a match; the pleas
ant aroma of tobacco f1oated about his
head.
Hes got it on him somewhere I
saw him take it. He's got his nerve
with him"
The cigarette glowed. Jim smoked
hurriedly.
Through every pocket they went.
The contents of his wallet lay scat
tered at his feet; his watch dangled
from the chain. The cigarette grew
shorter and shorter. Suddenly one of
the men stretched out a hand and
whisked the cigarette from Jim's lips.
He threw it to the floor and stamped
out4the coal.
L thought sol" he exclaimed, hold
ing out the scrap of burnt paper to-
wards Braine.
The words Dear Hargreave" were
all that remained of the message. With
a snarl of rage Braine whipped out his
revolver.
Il will give you one minute to tell
me what that paper contained"
And after that minute is up?"
"A bullet in your stomach"
Quick as flash Jims hand shot
out, caught the loosely held revolver,
gave it wrench, and brought it down
savagely upon Braine's head. Then
he reversed it and backed toward the
front entrance.
"Au revoir, till we meet again, gen.
tlemen!"
