Wednesday was Patrons Day at
the Martinsburg public schools and
from early morning until almost sup

To use what one has at hand and pro.
duce. day after day, palatahle attractive
meals is not easy Especially is this so
now when it is too early for many
spring foods and too late for the win
ter ones TO be at their best,
The canned and preserved foods help
to bridge over the seasons, From them
many tempting and delicious dishes can
be made and none of them need to be
very costly, An applehutter pie is such
one. This is something no one would
think of making if fruit was plentiful,
but it needs no apology for il is a good
filing for pastry she'll and can be
finished with whipped whites of eggs
and made as fancy" as any pie.
Indeed apples furnish solution to
many fruit problem for they offer so
many ways of preparation. Baked
apples are always fine unless spoiled in
the baking, as they sometimes are
Some varieties bake more readily than
others but all sorts may be baked if
lemon juice is added TO them Remove
the core without breaking the fruit, by
means of an apple-eorer. Fill the hol-
low with sugar, lemon juice and butter
Use only moderate heat for if it is TOO
intense the skin of the apples will
break ana the juice be lost.
Baked apples make a pretty dish
called Snow Island, when any are left
from meal. Press them through a
sieve and sweeten the pulp. To this
add the stiff, sweetened whites of eggs
aud beat well. Heap a little of the egg
white on the very top of the mass and
put bright colored fruit jelly on it.

myself" There was a fiippancy in his
tone that astonished Warrington's own
ears. for certainly this light mockery
did not come from within. At heart
he was sober enough.
To steady the laundering beat of his
pulse he crossed the room, righted the
chair, stacked the books and laid
them on the desk. Arthur did not
move save to turn his head and to fol.
low with fascinated gaze his brothers
movements.
Now, Arthur, I've only a little
while. I can see by your eyes that

Arthur's hands slid from the desk;
in a kind of collapse he sat down. Sud-
denly he laid his head upon his arms.
and great sigh sent its tremor across
his shoulders. Warrington felt his
heart swell. The past faded away;
his wrongs became vapors. He saw
only his brother. the boy he had loved
so devotedly, Arty. his other self, his
scholarly other self. Why blame Ar.
thur? He, Paul, was the fool.
Don't take It like that, Arty," he
said.
The others hand stretched out
blindly toward the voice. "Ah, great
God, PAUL"

much" Warrington crushed the hand
