At the first interview between Napo-

he was to command Rampon under

some advice. Napo con, who was i'm
patient of advice, exclaimed: Gentle
men, the art of war is in its infancy.

French Toast With MarmaIade.

A fancy toast reminds one of what
Is sometimes called French toast"
Plain white bread is cut in rather
generous slices, brushed lightly with a
mixture of egg and milk, not enough
being used to moisten more than the
actual surface of the bread. The di-
rect heat of toasting quickly dries
this, and when the bread so treated is
carefully Drowned it is difficult to
guess wherein lies the secret of this
particular brand of toast. With a
spoonful Of jam or marmalade this
makes an ideal novelty for the after
noon tea table.

where to look. Get me ready, mother
dear; we are going tonight"
But" objected Deborah, "if you
know where to look for him, why take
the child? Why go yourself? Why
not telegraph to these places ?"
HIS answer was look, quick, sharp
and enigmatical enough to require ex-
PLANTATION. He could not give it to her
then, but later, when Reuther had left
them, he said:
Men who fly their engagements and
Becrete themselves, with or without a
pretext, are not SO easily reached. We
snail have to surprise Oliver Os-
trander, in order to place his fathers
message in his hands,"
You may be right But Reuther7
Can she stand the excitement-the
physical strain?"
You have the harder task of the
two, Mrs. Scoville. Leave the little

he had something of actual moment to
tell them; something which the dis.

A night of stars, seen through sway

their fall, murmured gently of van
ished hopes and approaching death.
Below, long, low building with a
lighted window here and there, sur

which are but the earnest of the il
limitable stretch of the Adirondack
woods which painted darkness on the
encircling horizon.
Within, Reuther seated. in the glow
of hospitable fire of great logs, talk
ing earnestly to Mr.. Black. AS they
were placed, he could see her much
better than she could see him, his
| back being to the blaze and she, In it's
direct glare.
He could, therefore, study her fea-
lures without offense, and this he did
steadily and with deep interest, all the
while she was talking He was look
ing for signs Of physical weakness or
fatigue; but he found none. The
pallor of her features was a natural
pallor, and in their expression, new
forces we're becoming apparent, which
gave him encouragement, rather than
anxiety, for the adventure whose most
trying events lay still before them.
This is what she was saying:
"I cannot point to any one man OF
the many who have been about US
ever since we started north. But that
we have been watched and our route
followed, l feel quite convinced. But,
as you saw, no one besides ourselves
left the cars at this station. and l am
beginning to hope that we shall re-
main unmolested till we can take the
trip to Tempest lodge. How far is it,
Mr.. Black?"

RED INK CARDS USED IN
AGITATING A BOYCOTT
-

Atlanta, GAIA secret anti-Jew-
ish propaganda has been started
here, urging a boycott, ard another
has started in Marietta which
threatens to assume threatening
proportions.
In Marietta notices have been Sc
cretly posted on the doors Of Jew
ish business people notifying the
Jew residents there to evacuate the
town by Saturday night. When
the information came TO Atlanta a
very prominent Jewish woman APP
pealed to an attorney identified
with tie prosecutions in the Frank
case, asking that he use his IN
'fiuenee TO bring the agitation to an
end. 1t is stated th@t he has writ
ten the solicitor general Of the cir
cult in which Marietta is, urging
that he.use MS best efforts to that
end.
Tonight the boycott propaganda
started in Atlanta. when literature,
printed in red ink, was distributed
in the cigar stores, at soda founts
and in front Of amusement places:
Stop and think before you spend
your money. Shall it go to a fund
to protect murderers? To buy gov
errors? Stop and think. Now is
the time to show your true Amerl-

you buy the necessities Of life from
an American?

you.
