Practical Economy

Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for trif1e less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
If cheap baking powder is used for
fine cake and the cake turns out failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than whole can Of the cheap bak-
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

and sweeping a saddle harness and
some old magazines of a great raw
hide settle on the veranda.
They laid the sick man on the settle
and Lieber started to strip him with
gentle, deft hands. Kemp strobe for
ward and helped but Gerry stood by,
powerless to move. He had recognized
Alan, the man he had sworn to break
If ever he met him. Somebody else
had broken Alan, terribly, pitilessly.
Gerry's eyes shrank from the sight. A
lump came into his throat Alan was
dead. Alan with whom he had wan
dered barefoot through those quiet
lanes of home, with whom he had
fshed and swum, and once had
fought. What a little fury Alan had
been in that boys battlel 1t had not
been fought to finish. On one i'm
pulse they had stopped and looked at
| each other and turned away, ashamed
to shake hands.
Lieber, once heavy, forid and clumr
sy, was transformed. He worked
quickly, with sure hands. The body
lay stripped on the settle. Under il
still lay the hammock and dusty blan.
kets. The pillows and a board had
been tossed on the floor Lieber ex-
amined his patient minutely, without
haste. The spleen was frightfully dis
tended and pushed out across the alb
domen. He could feel its hard, un.
yielding margins. The feet were swol-
len. The face was yellow with the

he rapidly washed out the dust-flled

and picked up the board. He took Il
into his private room, propped it up
against some books on the table and
sat before it with his face dropped
in his hands. To his closed eyes the
words seemed no longer carved in
wood. Against the inward darkness
of his brain they shone out in points
OF light. He could not shut them out.
"Qui de nous ma pas eu sa terre
promise, son jour d'extase, ct 50 fin en-

At sundown Lieber came out to his
patient. He had him moved, settle
and all, into a room whose windows
opened upon the veranda. Lieber sat
beside him and nursed him through the
long, hot night. To the deftness of
his hand had been added tenderness.
and into his face new determination
had come--a resolve to win Alan's
battle for him whatever the odds.
Gerry did not sleep that night. He
lay on the little extra bed he had made
upon his sons arrival and, propping
himself on his elbow, gazed around
him. The moon shone through great
cracks in the warped shutters and
filled the room with q glow that, as his
eyes dilated, became revealing light

who could help at the rail-head, nor
along the thin line, nor even at the

"In two days." said he despairingly,
1.-THE master will be dead"
They gathered at the door of Alan's
tent and looked in at him as he lay
half comatose. NO" said the oldest
of them, "he will be dead in seven
days time"
AS McDougal picked him up and
laid him gently in a hammock, Alan
| came to. The hammock was padded
with pillows and blankets and strung
on a stout bamboo pole with two men
at each end supporting it.
"What are you doing with me-" he
asked angrily and sank back into the
pillows. From there his eyes glared
up at McDougal.
"I'm sending ye home" said Nc
Dougal gently but firmly.
Alan smiled a twisted smile. "Send-

resignedly, "Oh all right" Them he

out and watched jealousy as McDou-

under the light breeze. The men under

be off. Their eight companions

"Yes," said Alan between .chattering
