of the road, as Craig had directed.
and finally crouched behind a huge
rock.
After a moment to give me a
chance, Craig himself left the car
pulled up close by the side of the
road and went ahead on foot. At last
he came to the crossroads just around
the bend, where, in the moonlight, he
could read the signs: Williams ave-
nue." and "Brownlee avenue" He stood
there moment.
Suddenly, at his feet in the dust Of
the road something heavy seemed to
drop. He looked about quickly. No
one was in sight.
He reached down and picked up a
little Chinese figure. Tapping it with
his knuckles he examined 1t curiously.
1t was hollow.
From the inside he drew out a piece
Of paper. He strained his eyes in the
moonlight and managed to make out:
1.-THE Serpent 10 aII-wise and his
fang 10 fatal. You have signed the
white girls death warrant"

Chinaman made his way to an old
barn.
In the dim light of a lantern hing
ing from a rafter could be seen sew
eral barrels in a corner. Without a
moments hesitation Long Sin seized
a bucket and placed it under the spig-
OF of one of the barrels. The liquid
poured forth into the bucket, and he
emptied the contents on the floor, fill
ing the bucket again and again and
swinging it right and left in every
direction, until the barrel had finally
run dry.
Then he moved over to the window,
which he examined carefully. Satisfied
with what he had done. he drew a slip
of paper from his pocket and hastily
wrote a note. resting the paper on an
old box. When he had finished writ
ing he folded up the note and thrust
it into a little hollow-carved Chinese
figure, which he took also from his
pocket.
With a final hasty glance about he
extinguished the lantern, letting the
moonlight stream fitfully through the
single window. Then he left the barn,
with both front and rear doors open.
Taking advantage of every bit OF
shelter, he made his way across the
field in the direction Of the crossroads.
finally dropping down behind a huge
rock some yards from the finger post
that pointed each way to Williams and
Brownlee avenues.
Late that night Kennedy left his
apartment prepared to follow the in
structions IN the note which had been
so strangely delivered in the vase.
AS he climbed into q roadster he
tucked the robe most carefully INTO a
corner under the leather seat.

the engine.

urbs which was deserted, and did
not recognize thing when he pulled
up by the side Of the road with jerk
A moment later he pulled the robe
partly off me, and bent down as

the side of the car.

breathing. Silently he drew from q
fold in the loin-cloth a screwdriver and
removed the screws from the hinges of
the door. Quietly he pushed the bed
room door open, pivoting it on the
lock, just far enough open so that he
could slip through.
Creeping along the floor, like the
reptile whose sign he had assumed,
he came nearer and nearer Aunt Jo-
sephine's bed. AS he paused for a
moment his quick eye seemed to catch
sight Of the bullying lump under her
pillow. His long, thin hand reached
out and quietly removed the jewel case
from under her pillow.
In a country roadhouse Long Sin
was waiting patiently. The telephone
rang. and the proprietor answered.
Long Sin was at his side almost before
he could hand over the receiver. 1t
was Long Sins master, WI.

and they will surrender me to him.

life will be In danger.
Il thought something like this would
happen" remarked Craig at length.
"Oh," cried Aunt Josephine. its
too good to be true"
We'll do It," exclaimed Kennedy
quickly, only this is the ring that
we'll give them"
He drew from his pocket the replica
OF the ring which he had made and
showed it to Aunt Josephine. Then
he drew from another pocket the real
ring, replacing the replica.
Here's the real one" he said in a
low tone. Guard it as you would your
life"
Aunt Josephine was worn out with
the sleepless nights Of worry since
Elaine's disappearance. After We had
gone, she tried to eat dinner, but found
that she had no appetite.
Although she had intended to sit up
until she received some word from
Kennedy that night, the long strain
had told on her, and in spite of her
worry about Elaine, she decided, at
length, to retire.
Aunt Josephine, clasping the jewel
case tightly, mounted the stairs and
entered her room. She locked the door
carefully and put the jewelry case un-
| der her pillow. Then she switched off
the light.
A moment later a small piece Of the
vase seemed to break away from the
rest of the mosaic, as though it were
knocked out from the inside. Then
a large piece fell out. and another.

He whispered number. waited. then
whispered some directions.
A moment later he wormed his way

room. On he went cautiously, snake

FOR BALANCED RATION

Ahead, Variety Of Suitable Meals
May Be Supplied With Little
Trouble-Points to Consider.

Food Is necessary to bald tissue.
replenish waste. create heat and en-
ergy and satisfy appetite. In order to
be perfect food, 1t must contain SUM-
cient protein or tissue-bulding ele-
ments to cause a continual and grad
ual growth. and to overcome fatigue;
sufficient starch and sugar to give an
abundance of energy and body heat;
fat in sufficient quantity TO replace
loss In illness or great mental or mus
cular exertion, and ash or mineral
salts for feeding bones and tissues.
The balanced ration may be obtained
in several ways and without variety.
For instance, we may eat meat. bread
and butter and potatoes. but a con-
tinuation of this diet. while II may
cost a great deal for meat and but
ter. would not give good results. as
the diet would be too concentrated.
and constipation and its attendant Ills
would follow. Or, one might eat en-
tirely Of vegetables. such as beans
and potatoes, and the quantity neces-
sary to supply the required amount OF
protein would give too much bulk and
often tissue starvation will occur.
In providing food for normal fam
lily the housekeeper will find 1t prov.
ident to decide upon and put In q
weeks supplies. thereby insuring
variety of well-balanced meals at less
cost. There Is no more extravagant
habit than buying a meal at a time.
The housekeeper will find that ar
ranging her menus a few days ahead.
until three meals a day are provided
for, allowing some variation for vese-
tables. meats and desserts. and pro-
viding against the embarrassment OF
q quick meal. will give her feeling
of security never possible where only
one meal Is taken care Of at time.
We should decide on the menus at

that only one-fourth of the income
Is used for this purpose. The occupa-
ton of the different members OF the
family. climate. temperament, sex. In
dividual health, all must be taken into
consideration, and then such foods az
we can afford with due regard given
to their caloric value will be deter
mined upon.
The mother will remember that
whether the children acquire full size
and strength depends more on their
food than upon anything else. A child
from three to five years old requires
four-tenths as much food as a man
at moderate work; from six to nine
years one-half as much. while boy
fifteen years old requires as large
quantity of foods as his father en-
gagged at moderate labor.
In q cold climate more Is needed.
and this fact Is not due to the tenn
perature, but to the greater activity OF
the people. and it will be noticed that
fat forms a large proportion Of tho
northern diet, as it is oxidized slowly
in the body. A tall. thin person con-
sumes more food than a short. stout
person, for the reason that large
