Splendid Green Salad.

Don't allow the grocer to weigh your

These dishes weigh from one to three
ounces, according to their size. and
you are therefore paying for that much
wood at the price of butter.
Don't let the butcher weigh your
meat and then trim 1t and charge you
for the trimmings that you have paid
for. The fat can be rendered into lard
and the bones used in soup. The
butcher knows that they have a value
for when you do not take them he re-
sells them for six or seven cents q
pound. Do not be afraid to ask for
what is your due and to demand hon.

A green salad served with cheese.

with whole wheat sandwiches, can be
made the main course for luncheon.
A cheese souffle served with spinach
makes meat unnecessary. Beets
stuffed with creamed mushrooms and
nuts are delightful. and a ring OF
mashed potatoes filled with creamed
carrots and peas will please the most
fastidious appetite. A canape. bisQue

steps away, discussing the affair.
Elaine and l were still talking over
the entertainment.
She happened to place her hand on
the desk near Long Sin. My back was

suddenly and look at her hand. On it

known to us, Long Sin had found in

garden, Of which he had been robbed,
Long Sin decided to recover the ring
by stealth.
Elaine was still talking enthusiast
tically about her party. when Long Sin
turned from Kennedy and moved to-

Elaine turned to him surprised. do

Long Sin smiled quietly. He reached
over and took a small bottle from Ken
nedy's laboratory table. Holding it in
his hand almost directly before us, he
made a few slight-of-hand passes and,
presto! the bottle had disappeared. A
few more passes, and a test tube ap-
peared in its place. Before We knew it
he had caused the test tube to disap-
pear and the bottle to reappear. We
all applauded enthusiastically.

idea after ALL" nodded Kennedy to
Elaine.
It was the night of the reception.
The Dodge library was transformed.
The Oriental hangings which Elaine
and Kennedy had purchased seemed
to breathe mysticism. At the far end
of the room a platform had been ar
ranged to form a stage on which Long

His daughter, Elaine, employs Craig Ken

try to unravel the mystery. What Ken
nedy accomplishes is told by his friend
Jameson, a newspaper man. After many
fruitless attempts to put Elaine and craig

Chatting with animation, Kennedy
tasted the ice. He had taken only a
couple of spoonfuls when look of
wonder and horror seemed to spread
over his face.
He rose quickly. A cold sweat
seemed to break out all over him. His
nerves almost refused to respond.
He took only a few steps. began to
stagger, and finally sank down on the
floor.
Elaine screamed.
We rushed in from the library and
