her husband say:
"Praise heaven you can wear my

yourself gently to Freddy"
She heard him come squudging up
the stairs and along the hall, and
then in her doorway she saw him. His
baggy gray tweed suit was dark with
water and toned down by a liberal
stipple of mud spatters. Both his side
pockets had been, apparently, strained
to the utmost to accommodate what
looked like bunch of pasteboard-
bound notebooks, now far on the way
to their original pulp, and Topped de-
spondently outward. A melancholy

PREVENT BACTERIA IN MILK
Best Way to Hinder Formation Is to
Cool Liquid as Soon as Possible
After Being Drawn.

Perhaps the best way to hinder the
formation of bacteria in milk is to
cool it as quickly as possible in order
to remove the ''animal heat after it
has been drawn from the udder. Then
heat it to temperature Of 100 de-
grees OF even to the boiling point,
after which it should be put into bot
ties, sealed tightly and set away in
place where the temperature Is about
so degrees. Leave it there till you are

THE BIG STEP

Most romantic fiction ends
with the hero and heroine about
to marry and Give happy ever
after" The author of this I'M
usual serial begins his story
with marriage and carries the
romance for a period of several
years into the realm of double
harness." Taking a couple from
the well-to-do scale of the
Middle West social scheme, Mr..
Webster uses them to bring out
some of the important problems

town than stay at home, and of
new complications in the bust
ness of raising a family. "The
Real, Adventure" is thoroughly
alive with action. You will en-
joy the story not only for its ro-
nance but for the element in it
that will make you think-and
ponder the intimate happenings
in your own family and in the
families of your neighbors.

RAISING CALF ON SKIM MILK
Young Animal Should Be Taught to
Eat Grain Early-In No Case
Feed 1t in Milk Ration.

The calf which is to be raised on
skim milk should be taught to eat
grain early. When they have access
to 1t, many of them will begin eating
at two weeks of age or three at the
latest.
The grain should be placed in box
where they can easily get at it, and
they can be encouraged at first by plac-
ing little in their mouths after they
have consumed their milk. Grain can
best be fed dry after the milk is fed.
In no case should it be fed in the
milk, as in that case it will be gulped
down without chewing, which is bad
for the digestion.

CHAPTER II.
What Happened to Frederica's Plan.

What Happened to Frederica's Plan
At twenty-seven minutes after seven
that evening, Frederick Whitney was
about ten minutes before the hour al
which she had invited guests to dinner
not quite near enough dressed to
| prevent a feeling that she had to
hurry. Ordinarily she didn't mind. To
Frederick at thirty, the job of being
radiantly delightful object of regard
lacked the sporting interest of I'M
certainty-was almost too simple a
matter to bother about.
But tonight she wished she'd started
half an hour earlier. Even her hus-
cigarette, and stood smiling down at
her with the complacent look that
characterizes married man of forty
when he finds himself dressed in eve
ming harness ten minutes before his
wife. She shot glance of rueful in
quiry at him, and asked him what time
it was.
"Seven twenty-five thirty-six," he
told her. She made no comment ex-
cept with her eyebrows, but he must
have been looking at her, for he want
ed to kpow, good-humoredly, what all
the excitement was about.
"You could go down as you are
and not a man here tonight would
know the difference. And as for the
womeu-well, If they have something
on you for once, they'll be all the
better pleased"

that their conversation was at an end

seriousness of this other girl-a con-
seriousness of contrast. 1t might not
have been any more than that, but
somehow it left the professor feeling
that he had given himself away.
There is nothing cloistral about the
University of Chicago except its
architecture. AS she went out Rose
felt that the presence of a fat abbot
or a lady prioress in the corridor
outside the recitation-room would have
fitted in admirably with the look of
the warm gray walls and the carven
pointed arches of the window and
door easements, the blackened oak of
lie uOOTS lueHlSelVeS.
She wasn't fully conscious of it on
this March morning, but something
had happened that made a difference.
If she'd been ascending an impercep-
tible gradient for the past months,
today she had come to a recognizable
step up and taken it. Oddly enough,
the thing had happened back there in
the classroom as she stood before the
professors desk and caught his eye
wavering between herself and the
scrawny girl who wanted to ask
question about Robespierre. There
had been more than blank, helpless
evaporation in that look of his, and
it had taught her something. She
couldn't have explained what.
She went swinging along alone, her
shoulders back, confronting the warm
March wind, drawing long breaths into
her good deep chest. She had just
had, psychically speaking, a birthday.
She played wonderful game Of
basketball that afternoon, and it was
after five o'clock when, at the con-
clusion Of the game and a cold shower,
a rub, and a somewhat casual re-
of her clothes she emerged
from the gymnasium. High time that
she took the quickest way of getting
home, unless she wanted to be late for
dinner.
But the exhilaration Of the day per-
sisted. She felt like doing something
out Of the regular routine. Even a
walk of mile or so before
she should cross over and take the
would serve to satisfy her
mild hunger for adventure.
So, with her notebooks under her
arm and her sweater-jacket unfasten-
ed. at a good four-mile swing she
started north. In the purlieus of the |
she was frequently hailed |
by friends of her own sex or the other. |
But though she waved cheerful re-
sponses to their greetings, she made

her stride purposeful enough to dis
courage offers of company. They all
seemed young to her today. All her
student activities seemed young. AS
If, somehow, she had outgrown them.
The feeling was none the less real
after she had laughed at herself for
entertaining it.
She noticed presently that it was a
good deal darker than it had any
right to be at this hour, and the sudden
fall Of the breeze and a persistent
simmer Of lightning supplied her with
the explanation. When she reached
Forty-seventh street, the break Of the
storm was obviously a matter Of
minutes, so she decided to ride across
to the elevated-it was another mile,
perhaps-rather than to walk across
as she had meant to do.
She found quite a group Of people
waiting on the corner for a car, and
the car itself, when it came along,
was crowded. So she handed her
nickel to the conductor over some
