SAVE BOTH TIME AND LABOR
Iy In the Mind Of the Housewife
In the Summer.

The long list of casserole dishes are
among the time and labor savers OF
the summer housewife. With every
thing cooked In and served from the
same dish, table service, as well as
dishwashing, is reduced to the mini
mum, while even a commonplace prep
aration is given a bit of elaboration
by this process.
In the same practical category be-
longs the attractive serving Of an oc-
casional planked dish, surrounded by
an alternating variety Of vegetables.
While in reality the meat or fish 50
served may have been broiled in the
regulation way, 1t gains much in ap-
pearance II served in imitation of
planked dish. occupying the center of
a large platter with the vegetables as
a border. Mounds of mashed potato
or boiled rice, alternating with
mounds of some fresh vegetable. are
quite sufficient. although more va
riety Is easily possible. Vegetables
served in this way make an attractive
garnish, at the same time lessening
the number of dishes required on the
table.

the next car would pass.
Quickly, almost monkeylike, he
climbed up the pole, carrying with him
the end of a wire which he had taken
from the bag.
Having thrown this over the feed

again, then, carrying the other end
of the wire in his rubber-gloved hand

SAVING TIME IN KITCHEN
Small Things About Which House
wives May Not Have Thought, but
Which Count for Much.

Time saving is one of the chief prob
lens Of the busy woman. and 1t con-
Germs especially the housewife who
does her own cooking or has only one
maid.
Here, for example, IL how ono
woman saves time: When she makes
pie crust she makes double the guam
crust rolled in damp napkin and put
in the refrigerator will keep perfectly
for several days. Then she plans in
the menus for the next few days to
use that crust. A dessert or a fruit
tart for the first night. turnovers for
luncheon the following day, and if any
crust remains 1t can be used in des-
serts, meat patties or cheese straws.
BY using the pastry in such a va
riety Of ways she avoids the impress
sion of sameness, yet manages to
tighten materially her work of prepar-
alton.
Filling the ice box with scraps Of
leftover food is waste of room-and
usually of food; but this woman solves
very neatly the problem of left
overs" She never allows an accumu-
lation; nevertheless, every scrap is
used. For example. il there are few
string bans or boiled potatoes left
from dinner they are Immediately
sliced into small dice-shaped pieces
and put away in bowl to be used
for a vegetable salad at tomorrow's
luncheon. Scraps of meat too small
to be used in other ways are put
through the meat chopper. and 60 to
make sandwiches for tea.
Every dish that comes OF the table
is promptly attended to. II 1t be
available for future use it is put away
In q convenient form; II not available
1t is thrown away Immediately. BY
this means the ice box Is kept neat
and clean, there is no waste by spoil
ing. and much time Is saved.

Kennedy said nothing for a moment
Then he seized his hat and coat.

WI Fang, the Chinese master mind
had arrived in New York.
Besides WI, the inscrutable Ions
Sin, astute though he was, was a
mere pigmy-his slave, his advance
agent, as it were.
New York did not know of the ar
rival of WI Fang, the mysterious, yet.
But down in the secret recesses of
Chinatown, in the ways that are devi.
GUS and dark, the oriental crooks
knew and trembled.
Thus it happened that Long Sin was
not permitted to enjoy even the fore
taste of BENEFITS spoils which he
had forced from him after his weird
transformation into his real self, the
Clutching Hand, when the Chinaman
had given him the poisoned draft that
had put him into his long sleep.
He had obtained the paper showing
where the treasure amassed by the
Clutching Hand was hidden. but WI
Fang, his master, had come.
The night following his arrival, WI
Fang was reclining on divan, when
his servant announced that Long Sin
was at the door.
Have you brought the map with
you?" asked WI.
Long Sin bowed low again, and drew
from under his coat the paper which
he had obtained from Bennett. For
moment the two, master and slave
in guile. bent over, closely studying it.
At one point of the map Long Sins
bony finger paused over a note which
Bennett had made:
Beware of poisoned gas upon open
ing compartment"
"And you think you can trace it
out?' asked WI.
Without doubt" bowed Long Sin.
He went over to a bag near by,
which he had already sent up by an
other servant, and opened it. Inside
was an oxygen helmet. He replaced
it, after showing it to WI.

The noises ceased at length, as
strangely as they had begun.
Half an hour later they had all gone
back to bed and were asleep. But
Elaine's sleep now was fitful, a con-
slant procession of faces fitting be-
fore her closed eyes.
Suddenly she woke with a start and
stared into the semi-darkness. Was
that face real, or a dream face? Was
1t the hideous helmeted face. that had
dragged her down into the sewer
once? That man was dead. Who was
this?
She gazed at the bedroom window,
holding the huge revolver tightly.
There, vague in the night light, ap-
peared figure. Surely that was no
dream face of the oxygen helmet Be-
sides, it was not the same helmet.
She sat bold upright and fired point
blank at the window. shivering the
glass. A second later she had leaped
from the bed. switched on the lights
and was running to the sill.
Downstairs Aunt Tabby and Uncle
Joshua had heard the shot. Joshua
was now wide awake.
"Wh-what was it," he asked, puff
ing at the exertion of running up
stairs.
Il saw-a face-at the window
with some kind of thing over it,"
gasped Elaine 1T was like one saw
once before
Uncle Joshua did not wait to hear
any more. He ran out of the room
and into the garden beneath Elaine's
window.
He looked about for signs Of an in
truder. There was not a sound.
He happened to look down at the
ground. Before him was a small box.
He picked it up. Here's something,

Joshua went back to the house.
What's in it?' asked Elaine as he
rejoined the woman.
She took the curious little box and
unfastened the cover. AS she opened

was little ivory figure of a man,
