Gladys Robson uttered a scream as
there was crash. Oh! why had she
ventured down the steep slant of the
slippery, dangerous railroad embank-
ment because 1t was short cut to
town? II was true she had done so
several times before, and others made
practice Of 1t, but who could antici-
pate freight train in wreck and ruin
all Of sudden, not twenty feet away
from her.
Crash!
Her senses reeled. She saw bulg-
ing, swaying car strike the spot where
she would have landed in twenty sec
onds more. Another car piled up on
it, Pieces OF splintered wood and iron
were raining all about her. The as
cent was difficult. Frantically she
strove to get beyond danger. She
grasped roots. vines, bushes. A strand
Of tree root gave in her clasp.
II am LOST" she said and went slid
ing down towards the heavy mass that
seemed bound to engulf her.
Hold steady!" abruptly spoke a
gentle, but firm voice close to her ear,
and closer still firm-set form halted
her descent and a strong brave arm
encircled her.
Now then, don't struggle, I can
manage it," and her rescuer began to
pull her up with him, bracing with his
feet, lifting only when he was sure Of
the root or bush he grasped.
Safe and sound!" he spoke with re-
lief and satisfaction, as he lifted

Orioin of Word "Ciuar.v

The appeal OF American soldiers in
Mexico for tobacco recalls the fact
that the word "cigar" is derived from
spanish word "cigarral," which
means garden, but how many know
from What "cigarral' is derived?
When tobacco was taken to Spain
from the newly discovered America
the people planted it in their gardens.
When offering a smoke to a friend a
Spaniard would say. "Es de mi cigar
raj ct is from my garden).' Through
Misunderstanding on the part of for
eigners this expression was corrupted.
The word "cigarral" was supposed to
refer to the tobacco and in time was
shortened to "cigarro" and finally to
cigar" "Cigarral" is derived from
the word "cigarra," meaning grass
hopper, because the grasshopper
abounded In the gardens and there
sang the loudest. The original Of
cigar" therefore. Is grasshopper.

the embankment. She slipped from
his arm and sat swaying to and fro
from sheer fright, staring blankly at
him.
81 must see If help is needed below"
he said, glancing down at the clogged
roadway, and as he faded from her
view Gladys, even amid her distrac-
ton, recognized him as newcomer
to the town whom she had noticed
week. Then a veil stole over her
mind and she sank back senseless.
Thus she was found five minutes later,
when her mother and sister attracted
by the crash Of the wreck, came hurry
ing to the scene.
AS to the young mamie was Hec-
tor Morrison-he who coming from
town also by the shortcut route, had
dashed up the incline barely In time
to save himself and Gladys, had gone
below to find that none Of the train
crew had been hurt. Three freight
cars were a mass Of splinters and
twisted iron. Their contents had
poured out across the tracks. He
gave the Heterogeneous mass a cal
culating look. Then he loitered about
the spot whittier the usual throng Of
sight seers was attracted.
Two hours later, as the wrecking
crew arrived, Morrison was still in
evidence. When the debris OF the
broken cars had been removed to the
wreckers trailers, and the scattered
and damaged freight packages had
been tossed into heap where there
was surplus space where the cut wild
ened, Morrison got after what he had
been waiting for-the arrival of the
local claim agent.
There isn't much salvage in that
heap yonder," observed Morrison. Il
noticed a crate of crockery smashed
to bits and those miscellaneous
bundles are crushed fiat"
IT'S a pretty bad mix up" asserted
the claim agent
"I'll take q risk on twenty-five dol
lars" announced Morrison quietly.
I'll accept It," said the claim agent
with force and the bargain was made.
Hector Morrison was not trader,
although the town of Dwight might
have thought so, for he was something
OF mystery. He had come to the
place about month previous, taking
lonely old cabin up in the hills. He
did not circulate much about the vicin-
ity and sometimes would be gone for
several days at time. On OCCASIONS
this would involve long tramp, on

LUCKY AND UNLUCKY THINGS
Mole on Your Back, You'll Have Money
by the Sack, Is One Of
the Omens.

Lucky and "unlucky" have come
to be applied to gathering blossoms,
to horseshoes, to the color of hair, to
your manner of Saying things"-in a
word, to every possible event in life.
II Is unlucky to have dead bios
SOM" it is unlucky to go out with
your "shoelaces untied"-the latter
we naturally believe; it is unlucky to
Lring hawthorn blossoms within the
house," it is lucky to hear the
cricket" tti
The latter is, of course, supposed to
bring luck into the house.
Very lucky it is to find a spider on
your clothes; It Is called a money
spinner in many parts OF the country.
Feather beds should not be turned
en- a Sunday. If your teeth grow wide
" apart you will be a traveller. II

other hand. mole at the base OF the
neck shows that you will be hanged"
Caesar, Napoleon, Bismarck and
others were not above the supersti-
ton of lucky" and "unlucky" days.
Thursday was the "unlucky" day OF
Henry VIII, of his son Edward. and Of
his daughters, Mary and Elizabeth.
Isn't 1t strange that they all should
have died upon this day? But 1t is q
fact.

the wall to hold the mems clothes,
and there are also two small closets
provided for this purpose. A wash
stand is provided, so that the men
can wash up as they come in to their
meals.
From the Mushroom a door leads d.
rectly to the combination kitchen and
dining room. These two rooms are
combined so as to secure large place
in which there will be plenty of room
to feed the large number of men that
are present at certain seasons of the
year, such as in threshing time. Such
q combination is often made so that
the work of feeding a crowd of hun
cry men will be reduced as much as
possible. The combination here gives
room that is 20 by 13 feet, which
will readily handle quite a few men.
This combination room can also be
reached from the front hall and from
the side porch.
One bedroom is provided on the
first floor and will be of considerable
use to the men who are kept on the
farm the year round
The living room is in the front part
Of the house, and is cut off from the
back part by the hall, so that the pri-
vacy of the family is insured.
The stairs to the second floor are
in the front hall that opens to the
front porch. The second floor plan
calls for three bedrooms and a bath.
A central hall makes all the rooms
readily accessible. One of the fea.
lures of this floor is the ample closet
space that is provided.
The exterior of this home presents
very attractive appearance. It is

crate trimmings or decorations, which

cooked food of sufficient variety to
conform to the age and health of the
child is important enough for each
mother to give time and study to her
child's needs.
Broths Of various kinds, as well as
purees Of vegetables are good dishes
for children, with a slice or two of
well buttered whole-wheat bread.
Well-cooked rice with no seasoning
but salt, served in good, rich milk, will
make a satisfying meal. Rice COM
bined with sugar, eggs and milk makes
dessert which is safe and whole
some.
Orange juice may be given quite a
young child, provided it is done be-
tween feelings. Scraped apple. stewed
figs and prunes without sugar, are all
good for the child. The natural crav-
ing for. sweets may be satisfied by
giving a piece Of wholesome candy
after a good meal. Never allow the
child's appetite to be cloyed by sweets
before a meal.

and being allowed to eat sweets.
For child's supper dish there is
nothing that takes the place of good

to the dish.

proper place in food values they will
no doubt continue to be wasted in
cooking.
The failure of getting good results
from vegetable food may be with the
selection, for vegetables out of season
are neither economical nor satisfac-
tory; the flavor is usually in inverse
ratio to the cost. The best OF cook
ing and seasoning cannot supply the
lack Of flavor
Vegetables may be crisp and fresh
when brought from the market, but
by careless handling are wilted and
spoiled.
In the cooking Of vegetables there
are q few things to remember, first
to retain all the mineral matter and
nutriment possible, to soften the cellu-
lose and to develop the flavor, making
them more palatable.
Spinach cooked properly should be

addition of water or very little. This
vegetable being rich in iron which is
soluble in water, may by being cooked
in a large amount OF water be nearly
valueless as food. This is true Of

fact, any of the delicately favored,
succulent vegetables. The season.
ing is another important item; the fla
vor should never be disguised by sea-
soning. Usually butter, pepper and
salt. not too much, is the best be-
cause 1t is the plainest.
To accomplish these results one
may use several methods; cook the
vegetable whole or in large pieces. to
cook with the skin on when possible,
to cook in as small an amount OF We

serve the water in a sauce with the
vegetable whenever possible, and to
season after the vegetable has start

draw out the flavor.
