A Clever Burro.

A friend tells US the following abou,
Rowdy, burro he bought as a foal
In Colorado and brought home to Mas.
sachusetts for his children: "Rowdy Is
now an aged pensioner. but he has
been as clever little pet and servant
as one could wish. His friendship for
the family COW has been one Of the
distinguishing features OF his career,
They used to stand side by side In
the stable. and In the pasture would
actually play tag. The COW began
years ago with her rough tongue to
lick Rowdy's face. When he attempted
to reclprocate the courtesy. his smooth
tongue made no impression. This then
Is what we have seen him do hun
dred times: He would find a small
stick. take It In his teeth, and scratch
the COW all about the eyes, and ears
and horns." Can anyone call this In.
stinct! Was such an idea tucked away
In Rowdy's brain when he was born,
part Of his Inheritance from genera.
tions Of ancestral burros? That
would seem out of the question. We
are inclined to think that Rowdy
thought out the stick idea for himself.

VALUE OF POTATO AS FOOD
Nothing Which Exactly Takes Place Of
Potato When You Are
Used to Il.

There Is no food which exactly
takes the place Of the potato when one
Is accustomed to It." says state
ment issued by the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. urging an In
creased consumption Of this vegetable
now that the markets Of the country
are well supplied. ut has come to bH
such part Of our dinner that we miS
It when II Is not served. Besides, any
leftover potato can be used In many
very palatable ways for breakfast or
supper, and this Is a convenience from
the housekeeper's standpoint, since 1t
helps her to make palatable meals. Not
only Is 1t useful from the ease with
which 1t can be prepared and the num-
Der Of palatable ways In which 1t can
be served, but 1t is very important for
the food material 1t supplies"

|EAT PLENTY OF CHEESE T
Dairy Product Is More Nourishino
Than Meat.
United States Department Of Aorieul
ture Urges More Extensive
uee as Food.

"Store" cheese - more pfS ykfly
known as American cheddar-ls more
nourishing. pound for pound, than any
meat, and therefore should have
prominent place in the diet as a meat
substitute. says statement issued by
the United States department Of agri-
culture.
Few people In this country eat
cheese In sufficient quantities for 1t
really to form an important part Of the
daily fare" says the statement. I'm
deed. 1t Is used more often simply as
an appetizer or as seasoning for
some other food. Nearly every one
rellshes good American cheddar or
store cheese. but there Is an impress
sion that 1t Is indigestible and consti-
pating. Extensive digestion expert
ments carried on by the department Of
agriculture have demonstrated that
more than 95 per cent Of the protein
Of cheese is dlgested and 90 per cent
Of Its energy Is available. Even when
eaten in large quantities and for long
periods, no case of indigestion, con-
stipation, or other disturbance was OBJ
served In those who ate 1t. One man
who ate cheese as the chief source of
both protein and energy, eating an av-
erage Of 9.27 ounces daily, with bread
and fruit. for more than two years,
did fair amount Of muscular work
and kept in good health.
American cheddar cheese is very
satisfactory substitute for meat. 1t
can be kept In storage for long time,
and contains much food In small vol
ume.
"A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a pound
of fowl or round steak and almost
twice as much protein as the same
amount Of fowl or ham. Cheese, there
fore, is usually cheaper food than
the meats.
"Cheese can also be combined in
many palatable dishes. When grated
1t may be used In soups or with many
vegetables. Other foods In which
cheese is used are: Macaroni and
cheese, Welsh rabbit, tomato rabbit,
baked rice and cheese, baked crackers
and cheese, vegetable and cheese rolls,
cheese omelet, oatmeal and cheese and
cheese mush.
Recipes and further information
are given in Farmers Bulletin 487,

As the day wore on AlaIre realized
even more clearly the fact that she
was Longorios prisoner. His men, in
spite OF their recent debauch. kept very
good watch over her. and It was plain
that they would obey his orders. no

her finally that he was staying away

final battle. But the delay was trying

this terrible suspense might be ended.
At such an hour her thoughts nutu-

found herself yearning for him with
yearning utterly new. His love had
supported her through those miserable
days at Las Palmas, but now II was a

sionately. He knew her whereabouts
and her peril-why did he not come ?
Then, more calmly. she asked herself
what he, or what anyone, could do
for her. How could she look for sue

Night had come before she finally

fears grew blacker. She was on the
verge Of her first breakdown, when.

voices and the stamping Of horses

the heavy wooden shutters she had
taken pains to close and bar. but they
told her Longorio had returned. Since

waited where she was. Old Pancho's

CHAPTER XXI.

That was night OF terror for the
women. Although Longorio's disci-
pllne was In some ways strict. In 9th.
err II was extremely lax. From some
quarter his men had secured a supply
OF meseal, and. forgetful Of Fellpe's
unhappy fate, .hey renn-lssd the hours

soldiers were everywhere; they lolled
around the servants quarters; they
dozed In the shade OF the ranch build

bauch: and an armed sentinel who
paced the hacienda road gave evidence
that. despite their apparent careless
aess. they had by no means relaxed
their vigilance. A round Of the prem.
ises convinced naire that the place
was actually guarded and showed her
the f'itility OF trying to slip away. She
realized. too. that even II she managed
to do SO. her plight would be little
better. Fer how could she hope to
