Green Vegetable Cheapness

Green vegetables are part OF our
accepted winter diet, nowadays. Every
body demands them, and there Is no
reason. even Of economy. why every
body should not have them. For there
Is cabbage for those who cannot at
ford caulifiower. and kale for those who
cannot afford fresh spinach in winter
Moreover. there is good canned spin
ach for reasonable price. and TINS is
delicious, If it is heated thoroughly
spinach, quite as much of its dellcacy
depends on thorough washing as on
proper cooking.
AS for it's cooking, it should be put
over the fire in big saucepan. ana
little boiling water should be poured
over it. 1t should not be covered while
cooking. if it is desired to have II as
green as possible. When it begins to
boil, let it continue to do so for ten
minutes Then drain it and prepare it
in any desired fashion. Press 1t down
under the water as soon as possible.
The best way to serve spinach is with
butter, pepper and salt. Most OF It's
fresh green flavor is preserved in TINS
way. However, we all grow tlred OF

One good way to serve cabbage is to

CHAPTER VII.
Suspense.


His secret uncovered, all that labori-
ously constructed edifice of art and
chicane which yesterday had seemed
so impregnable a wall between the
Lone Wolf and the world today torn
asunder, Lanyard wasted time neither
in proftless lamentation or any other
sort Of repining.
Delaying only long enough to revise
plans, he put out the lights and left by
the courtyard door, for it was just
possible that those whose sardonic
whim it had been to name themselves
"the Pack" might have stationed
agents in the street to follow their
dissocial brother in crime. And now,
more than ever, Lanyard was firmly
bent on going his own way unmatched.
His course first led him stealthilv
past the door of the porter and across
the court to the public hallway in the
main body of the building
Afoot, and in complete darkness, he
made his ascent of five flights of wind
ing stairs, pausing at length before
the door of an apartment on the sixth
floor A flash from a pocket-lamp To-
Gated the keyhole; the key turned
without a sound; the door swung on
silent hinges.
Once inside, the adventurer moved
more freely, with less precaution
against noise. He was on known
ground, and alone; the apartment,
though furnished, was untenanted, and
would so remain as long as Lanyard
continued to pay the rent from Lon
don under an assumed name.
1t was the convenience of this ref
uge and avenue of retreat indeed, that
had dictated his choice of this par
ticular floor, for the siXth-story fiat
had one invaluable feature-a window
opening on the roof of the adjoining
building.
Two minutes examination sufticed
to convince Lanyard that here at least
the Pack had not trespassed
Five minutes later he picked the
common lock of door opening from
the roof of an apartment house on the
farthest corner of the block, found his
way downstairs, Knocked on the door
of the porter's lodge, chanted that ven.
erable open sesame of Paris. Gordon,
sill vous plait!" and was made free OF
the street by worthy concierge too
sleepy to challenge the late-departing |
guest.

ia time OF stress
The fold yielded up lts hoard TO a
sou-Lanyard removed and counted
over five notes OF one thousand francs
and ten OF twenty pounds-their sum
approximating two thousand dollars,
But If nothing had been taken away,
something had been added-the back
OF one OF the Bank of England notes
had been used as blank for a mem.

Lanyard spread It out and studied II
attentively.
The handwriting had been traced
with no discernible attempt at dis
guise, but was quite strange 10 him
The pen employed had been one OF
those needle-pointed nibs so popular
in France; the hand was that Of an

Deliberately. when he had conned
this communication Lanyard produced
his cigarette case. twisted the note Of
twenty pounds into a rude spill, set II
afire, lighted his cigarette therefrom
and, rising. conveyed the burning pa.
