Cold Vegetable Dressing.

With this dressing one man can
make a salad fit for kings and con-
noisseurs from any cold vegetables.
Sometimes he combines the little tops
of caulifower, diced beets that have
been boiled but not picked and
freshly boiled cold green peas. Another
combination is string beans peas and
diced carrots, young and tender. To-

be served with this dressing to ad-

Luck That Came to a Wis

"For absolute quietude, for dismal
torpidity. l commend you to Bayberry
island" said Andy Davis feelingly.

Martin Scott. with interest.
"Once-and once only-there is only
one shining spot in the dismal hole,
and it didn't shine for me, so | stay
away" Andy's merry face clouded a
little at some inward retrospection.
"Then you are prejudiced." decided
Martin. rising and walking the floor Of
his sitting room with long impatient
strides. IF Bayberry island is as Sc
cluded as you suggest, If can find the
native fisherman picturesque and IN
spoiled by the invasion of fashionable
summer visitors, If l can loaf around
the beaches undisturbed by putting
motor launches and pink parasoled
summer girls, IL I car get three good
meals a day and some fishing when

Andy. My nerves are on edge with
the Dellalne case, and now that we
have won 1t this member of the law
firm is going to drop out of sight for
two months"
"You can easily drop out of sight on
Bayberry island" remarked Andy.
IF you are determined TO go, Martin,
let me warn you of one thingAthe
island is surrounded on three sides by
ugly rocks, and in rough weather 1t is
almost impossible to get away from
1t; also there is no telegraph station,
no telephones and newspapers only
whenever Captain Billy goes to the
mainland after them"
"Just give me a line to old Captain
Billy and I'll get my newspaper every
day In the week." said Martin conf

solemnly. II went out nearly every
day."
Just give me that time table, Andy,
and drop a line to Captain Billy to
meet me at-what is the name of that
flag station on the mainlandT'
"Farland."
"Farland, oh, yesi Let me see." Mar
tin ran a finger down the train sched-
ule and frownej. Suppose l leave
town at 7:30 In the evening-hum-I
should reach Farland at 3 the next
morning, and l suppose that wouldn't
be too early for your old salt to meet
meT'
Hardly. But you could kill a few
hours In Farland-get something to eat,
you know-and arrange to be met later
In the morning. Five o'clock is a most
unholy hour to ask any one to get up"
shuddered indolent Andy.
"Just as I suspected" frowned Mar
tin. "Your simple fishermen have been
spoiled by the touch of civilization.
They are sybarites."
captain Billy Is an early riser"
Andy FASTENED to say.
A week later Martin Scott was awak-
ened by the porter of his sleeping car,
and he was dressed and ready to leave

A boy came racing down the wharf.
a bundle of letters In his hand.
"Hil Hii'' he shouted after the de-
parting boat. "Hi, there, Cap'n Billyi
Here's some letters to go ashore"
The boat put about and came toward
the wharf. but Martin did not wait to
see his late shipmate. He grabbed up
his bags and FASTENED up the wharf
to join the boy who had carried his
traps to a little whitewashed cottage
perched on a sandy knoll just above
high water mark.
Here's Mrs. Hailes' place." said the
lad, and, catching the coin Martin flung
at him, he disappeared with a flourish
of bare heels.
Martin stood on the tiny piazza and
looked at the sweeping circle OF yell
low sands, with ishermen's cottages
among the bayberry bushes. A nun.
Der of sail boats were drawn up on
the beach and q fisherman was mend
ing his net. In the distance were more
cottages. 1t was all very primitive
very Quiet-and just what Martin need
ed to restoNs his shattered nerves to
their normal condition.
Around him stretched the ocean, now
dancing blue in the morning sunlight.
There was the salt savor Of the sea

seaport town, from which he must en-
bark for Bayberry island.
A rattletrap hack carried Martin and
his luggage down to the docks and
dumped them unceremoniously in the
shadow of a small freight shed and left
them alone.
1t was very still, very peaceful there
In Farland. What would it be on Bay
berry island? 1t would be heaven aft
er the turmoil of the great Dellaine
case, which had been the mightiest tri-
umph of Martins legal career.
Martin turned and looked at the
peaceful town among the hills, where
the scattered chimneys were sending
forth drifts of smoke.
He did not hear the soft throb Of
IN approaching motorboat, and 1t was
not until the little craft bumped

and the %appetizing smell of broiling
fish
"Well. for the lands sake, / didn't
know you'd arrived, sir-Mr. Scott,
amt it? Cap'n Billy said you might
be coming this morning." said a hearty
voice and Martin turned to find a little
rosy checked woman smiling a well

Captain Billy said you might accom-
modate me-" be said tactfully.
Certainly. The spare rooms empty

right In, breakfasts all ready" she
went on Hospitality. She led the. way
into q cool little dining room and Mar
tins life on Bayberry island began
then and there with nj of Mrs. Hailes'
wonderful breakfasts.
Mrs. Hailes talked volubly while he
ate. In five minutes she had related
the entire history of Captain Billy
Valentine, who. as Martin now suspect
ed, was none other than his fair ship
mate Of the morning.
Miss Wilhelmina Valentine had come
to Bayberry island two years before
with an invalid brother. She had be-
come enamoured of the sea life and
had taken to the water like the pro-
verbal duck. She could sail any boat
on the island and finally purchased a
little motor launch in which she took
out fishing parties and carried the mail
to and from Farland as well as pas
sengers.
All the Bayberry islanders knew and
loved Miss Valentine, whom her broth
er called Billy and who came to be
known as Captain Billy Valentine.
Captain Billy had earned money enough
to buy a little cottage, which she occu-
pied In summer with the brother, who,
thanks to her earnings, had been able
to take an expensive cure for his all
ment and was now on the road to re-
covery.
1t was Captain Billy Valentine who
worked like a bee all summer and
then taught a city school in the VIM
ter. 1t was Captain Billy who had
saved her brothers life. and it was
the same Captain Billy whom Andy
Davis had fallen in love ~with-hope-
lessly, as Martin guessed.
Martin fshed and bathed and spent
long hours on the sandy beaches, and
occasionally busy Captain Billy found
time to take him out for a days fish
ing. These rare days were red letter
days in his summer outing, for from
the very first the brave. self reliant
girl had been very shy and reticent
with Martin Scott, Of whom she had
heard IS a clever lawyer.
Billy Valentine had yet to learn that
she was the only girl whom Martin
Scott had ever wooed, and he did WOO
her most arduously and with such
good results that, when at the end of
the summer he met Andy Davis in
town, he was prepared for that young
mans first question.
How Is the fishing at BaYberry is

ROUTE FOR CENTRAL POWERS
TO SOFIA AND TURKEY.
The Bulgarian and German Main
Armies Have Effected a Juncture
and Campaign Probably viii

London.-The Bulgarians have oc
cupied Nish, the Serbian war capital
which gives them complete control OF
the railway from Prahoyo, on the
Danube, and thus opens a through
route for the central powers to Sofia
and Constantinople.
In addition, the Bulgarian and Ger
man main armies have effected a
Juncture at Krivivir, so that the cam
paign, which has been somewhat
slower than expected, probably will
hove at faster pace. In fact, ex-
cept for the southern part of Serbia,
the invasion is already gathering
more Roadway, and despite Serbian
resistance, the invading armies have
all made considerable progress.
More than half of Serbia is now in
possession of the invaders, and it is
said in Berlin that the Serbians
have an open line of less than sew
enty miles for retreat into Montene-
gro. Should they seek refuge in that
country they would be menaced by
Austrian forces, which already have
begun an attack along the northern
and western Montenegro frontiers.
In the south, however, the allied
forces appear to be too strong for the
Bulgarians, who admit that they are
faced by superior numbers.
More allied troops are being sent
from Saloniki to the scene of the
fighting in the hope that they will be
able by the capture of Veles to COM
pei the Bulgarians, who advanced
west of Uskup, to retire and clear the
Saloniki,Mitrovitza railway, SO that
assistance can be sent to the Serbian
northern army.

RAILROADERS SEE
SOME GREAT CORN
Week of Warm Weather Without
Frost Will Give Nebraska Big
gest Corn Crop.
DANGER is PASSING FAST

Railroad officials who have kept
in touch with agricultural conditions
in Nebraska are exceedingly optimis-
tic over the condition of the corn
crop of this year and have COM
menced to predict one of the bumper
variety, regardless Of weather, unless
there should be freezing weather this
week.
Charles j. Lane. general freight agent
OF the Union Pacific, asserts:
south of the Platte river the corn
crop Of Nebraska is made and 1t could
be but slightly injured by anything cN-
cept hard freeze. North OF the river, Il
is maturing rapidly and another week
will put it beyond the possibility OF dam
age by frost"
Frank Walters, general manager OF the
Northwestern, says Of the crop:
Last week worked wonders in pushing
the Nebraska corn along to maturity.
Another week and It will be out OF the
way Of frost. with the exception OF some
late paintings that would not mature. no
matter what the weather might be.
Dcnvcr is GOING ny.
The Burlington's crop report for last
week, in discussing the corn, says
The week was quite favorable for
maturing corn, with several days Of high
temperature. The situation is better to
the extent that more corn Is beyond dau-
ger from frost Two weeks more without
freezing weather would bring about all
the corn to maturity, at least all that
we can hope to secure.
In comparing the condition OF corn last
week with the previous week. on n ten
year average and on a percentage 'hasis,
with the average placed at 100 per cent.
the following conclusions are reached:
