SOME SUMMER SALADS
ESPECIALLY DELICIOUS Dishes
FOR THE HOT DAYS.
Three Made With Eggs and Different
Varieties of vegetabIes-of Wa
ter-cress or Asparagus-Mix-
ture Is Liked by Many.

Salads. delicious throughout the
year, are especially valuable as part
of the summer diet. Here are some
interesting receipts for them:
Egg Saiad.-A delicious egg salad
now that eggs are cheap again they
can be used plentifully In luncheon
salads-is made in this way: Boil the
eggs hard for 20 minutes and cool.
Remove shells and separate whites
and yolks. Cream the yolk with
little melted butter and mix wiz
mashed sardine. Form into balls
about the size of egg yolks. Pace
a couple on each plate of crisp white
lettuce leaves. Press the whites
through a ricer and sprinkle over the
yolks. Serve with mayonnaise.
Another egg salad is made in this
way: Boil the eggs hard and devil
them and serve two halves on slice
of tomato on each plate, with leaf
of crisp lettuce in which big spoon
full Of mayonnaise is placed.
Still another good egg salad is made
by cutting hardboiled eggs in half and
removing the yolks. Fill the whites
with diced beets and peas. mixed with
mayonnaise, and put on lettuce leaves.
Sprinkle with the crumbled yolks and
add a spoonful of mayonnaise to each
plate.
Watercress Salad.--Wash the water
cress thoroughly and then dip it in
sailed water to which lemon Juice has
been added. Shake well and serve
with French dressing or mayonnaise.
Asparagus Salad.--Asparagus salad
is seasonable. Boil asparagus stalks
carefully, drain and chill. Serve three
or four on lettuce leaf for each per-
son and dress with French dressing.
Or else on each group of asparagus
stalks place spoonful of mayonnaise
and sprinkle generously with red pep
per.
Spinach salad.-Chop cold boiled
spinach thoroughly. Dress with
French dressing and form into small
mound or a nest on each plate. IL
made in nest form, add three or four
eggs made from the mashed yolks Of
0dTu-bClieu eggs anu ss.AlhhAS tAS
chopped white over all. II in the
mound, garnish with lengthwise
eighths OF the hard-boiled eggs.
caulifIower Salad.-Boil caulifower
and drain it thoroughly. Break it into
sections and serve on lettuce with
mayonnaise. Garnish with diced to-
mato.
Mixed Saiads.-All sorts of mixed
vegetable salads are palatable at this
time OF year There are as many COM
binations as the ingenuity OF the cook
may devise For instance. diced
cucumbers, diced sweet. red and green
peppers and diced celery, mixed with
French dressing. are good. Then there
are diced tomatoes, peppers and
cucumbers. There are string beans,
with diced beets. and there are tomato
and celery together. All can be served
with mayonnaise, but French dressing
is better with such celebrated mix
lures.

With the rival construction crews,
matters were reaching a somewhat
critical stage in their race. Both the
Colorado & Coast and the Copper
Range &c Tidewater companies had
reached the limits of the city of Las
Vegas, where, owing to the topogra-
ply of the country as well as to the
difficulties of getting through the
town, possible rights of way were ex-
ceedingly scarce. A section almost
Immediately in front now of both con-
struction gangs was occupied by a
weather-beaten pioneer who bore the
name of Cassidy, and his comfortable
cottage INSTRUCTED both surveys.
The advent of two railroads building
neck and neck across the desert
through the little town had naturally
stirred every inhabitant of it to high
pitch of excitement. Small wonder
that Cassidy's head had become in
some degree confused as to values,
and by the time Rhinelander got
around to see the bronzed pioneer
with a check for two thousand dollars
the price first put upon the property
by its veteran CONGRATULATIONS had
risen and Cassidy declared that he
would sell for ter thousand dollars
and not a cent less.
Rhinelander, considerably taken
aback. impatiently assented to the ex-
orbitant sum named end going inside
the cottage. wrote out his check for it.
In exchange he received Cassidy's
rather uncertain signature, on the GUS
tomary legal form, granting to the
Copper Range G. Tide Water Railway
company privileges over the Cassidy
land as z freehold owner.
Seagrue, arriving from town, learned
from his foreman of the status of the
Insignificant plot of ground. adverse
possession of which might Illustrate
their persistent plans for obstructing
Rhinelander. With his surveyors Sea-
grue hurried to the end of the work.
and reached the ground Just in time
to encounter Rhinelander coming out
of Cassidy's house and the agreement
duly signed and delivered in his hand.
And behind Rhinelander came George
Storm ready to bring the men up to
take possession of the Cassidy de-
mesne.
Seagrue and his followers halted
them and Rhinelander, feeling the vic
tory all his own, explained the situa-
ton to Seagrue, while Storm, amiably,
but firmly, ordered Seagrue's men to
get of the Copper Range property.
Seagrue. without saying anything to
controvert what he had heard. walked
straight into Cassidy's house. I'm
sorry to be little late. Cassidy" he
began, bluntly. you know we want
