In connection with the Red Cross
National Drive there will be shown
in Pensacola today and tomorrow at
the Isis a two reel picture entitled
The Spirit of the Red Cross the
story by James Montgomery FIagg
and produced by Jack Eaton. The
picture has been termed by motion
picture critics as "a Birth of the Ma
tion in two Reels"
The picture has been released all
over the country. The Red Cross Drive
upon a preliminary showing in New
York one of the cities said "this lit
tie drama, modestly heaalded. COM
pactly put together by a master hand,
devoid OF superfuous material and un-
necessary padding, scores a triumph.
which for its size is nothing short
of marvellous There is no attempt to
produce a skillfully woven plot with
Ingenious complications. For here is
a simple. homely tale which count
less American mothers, fathers, wives
sisters. sweathearts will accept not
as fiction. but as a grave symbol of
the deep shadow which has crossed
their path" Everywhere there has
been any pre-exhibition of this pro-
duction has acclaimed il as one of
the greatest features of it's kind.

THE SPIRIT OF THE RED CROSS

as they should be-just done. hot,
mealy, delicious? On the other hand
have you ever been disappointed in
them? Perhaps they came to you
halfbaked, underdone, hard and
lumpy or perhaps they had been well
cooked but so long ago that as far
as you were concerned their period
of usefulness was past. Baked po-
tatoes wait for no man. Let them
stand and they become wrinkled Sand
soggy. This is because OF the steam
inside. If they cannot be eaten imme-
diately, at least they should be prick
ed as soon as they are done SO that
the steam may escape instead OF con-
densing inside the potato. However.
If nothing else is possible the inside
of the potato may be removed, mash :
ed, seasoned and the skins stuffed
These may be put back in the oven
and left there until desired.
And then about boiled potatoes.
They should be cooked from the be-
ginning in boiling sailed water. When
they are done and the water has been
drained off they should be shaken ov-
err the stove until dry, then placed
in a hot place with the cover off.
This is to prevent the potatoes from
becoming soggy.
II you are serving mashed potatoes,
dy try 70 see that they are all mashed,
not lumpy. II you have large guam
titles to prepare perhaps the ricer
will be found useful.
Don't allow fried potatoes to stand
in the pan after they are done. 1t Is
better to transfer them to a hot clean
utensil of some sort, keeping them
there until needed.

At the meeting Of the Children's
Red Cross Club yesterday afternoon
while much time was given to the
judging Of vegetables and plans for

NOTHING TO SHOW.

My day has all gone"-twas a woman
AS she turned her face to the sunset
glow
And / have been busy the whole day
long;
Yet for my work there is nothing
to show"
What was she doing? Listen; TIL tell
you
What she was doing In al the long
day:
Beautiful deeds too many to number;
Beautiful deeds in a beautiful way;
Womanly deeds that a woman may do.
Trifies that only a woman can see.
WELDING a power unmeasured, I'M
known.
Wherever the light of her presence
might be.
Humbly and quietly all the long day
Had her sweet service for others
been done:
Yet for the labor OF heart and OF hand
What could she show at set of sun?
All, she forgot that our Father in
heaven
Ever is watching the work that we
do,
And records he keeps OF all we forget,
Then judges our work with judy
ment that's true;
For an angel writes down In q volume
OF gold
The beautiful deeds that all do be-
low.
Though nothing she had at set OF the
sun,
The angel above had something to
show.

dition Of a mark here and q mark

There, hang yuh. chew on that

three. He turned away and rode back
once more toward home.
Rather turned naturally into the trail
which ran up the creek to the ranch,
but Ward Immediately turned him out
Of it I'VE aren't going to overlook
any bets, old timer" he said grimly
and crossed the creek at q point where
it was too rocky to leave any hOof
prints behind them. He rode up the
lower point Of the ridge beyond and
followed the crest of 1t on the side
away from the valley. When he reach
ed a point nearly opposite his cabin he
dismounted, unbuckled his spurs and
slipped their chains over the saddle
horn. Then he went forward afoot to
recOnnoiter. He was careful to avoid
rock or gravelly patches and to walk
always IN the soft grass, which muf-
fed his steps.
In this wise he made his way to the
top of the ridge, where he could hook
down upon the cabin and stable and
cOrrals and see also the creek trail for
a good quarter Of a mile. The little
valley lay quiet. His team fed undis-
turbed by the creek not far from the
corral, which treasured Ward more
than anything. Still, he waited until
he had made reasonably sure that the
bluff held no watcher concealed before
he went back to where Rather waited
patiently.

things up till they got those critters

unused while he rode down the bluff to
his cabin. But when they visit that
bunch Of stock again l reckon things
will begin to tighten!"
He was wary of exposing himself
too much to view from tine bluff while
he did his chores that night, and he
kept Rather in the stable; also he slept
very little, and before daybreak he
was up and away.

done every time he had approached his

him. The cabin window blinked cheer

looked peaceful enough and cozily de-

was all Ward gave to it.
His eyes searched the bluff below him
and upon either side. or a sudden they
s~harpened. He brought his rife for

the arms. He stood so for q breath or
two, looking down the hill. Then he

close enough to see the carbuncle scar
on the neck of the man crouched be-
hind a rock and watching the cabin
as a cat watches a mouse hole. A rifle
lay across the rock before the man,
the muzzle pointing downward. At
that distance and from a dead rest
1t would be strange If he should miss
any object he shot at. He had what
gamblers call a cinch, or he would have
had if the man he watched for had
not been standing directly behind him
with rifle sights in a line with the scar
On the back of his thick neck.
Throw up your hands, Ward called
sharply when his first flare Of rage
had cooled to steady purpose.
Buck Olney jumped as though a vel
low jacket had stung him. He turned
a startled face over his shoulder and

jerked the rife up from the rock. Ward
raised his sights a little and plugged a
round, black trimmed hole through
Bucks hat crown. /.
Throw up your hands, I told your
he said, while the hills opposite were
still flinging back the sound Of the
shot, and came closer.
Buck grunted an oath, dropped the
rife SO suddenly that it clattered On
the rock and lifted his hands high in
the quiet sunlight.
Get up from there and 60 on down
to the ~shack-and keep your hands up.
And remember all the reasons I've got
for wanting to see you make a crooked
move SO Ill have an excuse to shoot"
Ward came still closer as he spoke.
He was wishing he had brought his
rope along. He did not feel quite easy
In his mind while Buck Olney's hands
were free.
Buck got up awkwardly and went
stumbling down the steep slope with
his hands trembling in the air upon
either side Of his head. From their
ervou Q~uivering it was evident that
his memory was good and that 1t was
working upon the subject which Ward
had suggested to him. He did not give
Ward the weakest imitation of an ex.
II to shoot. And so the two OF them
came presently down upon the level
and passed around the cabin to the
door with no more than ten feet OF
space between them. 80 inexorably had
Ward crowded close upon the Others

Hold on q minute!"
Buck stopped as still as though he
had gone against a rock wall.
Ward came closer, and Buck finch

reached u a cautious hand and pulled

against Bucks cheek.
Feel that? IN jab 1t clear through
you If you give me a chance. Drop
your hands down behind you" He
spent a busy minute with the rome be-
fore he pushed Buck Olney roughly to-
ward a chair.
Buck sat down. and Ward did a lit
tie more rope work.
Say, Ward, you're making q big
mistake If you"
"Shut up!' snapped Ward. Cant
you see I'm standing all l can stand
Just with the sight Of you? Don't pile
1t on too thick by letting me hear you
talk. l heard you once too often as
1t is."
Buck Olney caught his breath and sat
very still. His eyes followed Ward
As the eyes Of q Gagged animal follow
Its keeper.
Ward tried to ignore his presence
completely while he lighted q fire and
fried bacon and made coffee, but the
hard set Of his jaw and the cold in
tentness of his yes proved how con-
scious he was of Bucks presence. He
tried to eat just to show how calm he
was, but the bread and bacon choked
him. He could feel every nerve in his
body culver with the hatred he felt for
the man and the bitterness which the
sight Of him called up out of the past
He drank four cups of coffee. black
and sweetened at random, which
steadied him a little. That he did not
offer Buck food Or drinl. showed how
intense was his hatred. As a rule, your
true range man is hospitable ever to
his enemies.
He rose and inspected the ropes to
make sure that they were proof against
twisting, straining muscles and took
an extra turn or W with the loose
end just to make doubly sure Of the
mans helplessness.
"Where did you leave your horseT'
he asked him CURLY when he was
through.
Buck told him, his eyes searching
Wards face for mercy or at least for
some clew to his fate and dulling with
disappointment because he could read
uOtlAuS tuCTc UuI lOGtuuS.
Without speaking again Ward went
out and closed the door firmly behind
him. He felt relieved to be away from
Bucks presence. AS he climbed the
bluff and mentally relived the last
hour he wondered how he had kept
from shooting Buck as soon as he saw
him. Still, that would have defeated
hic main nrrnAoD r,hsnh rroc 90 ,oclr,
Buck suffer. He was afraid he could
not make Buck suffer as Buck had
made him suffer, because there were
obstacles in the path Of a perfect retri,
button.
Ward was not cruel by nature-at
least he was not more cruel than the
rest of us-but as he went after Rat
tier and Bucks horse 1t pleased him tc
know that Buck Olney was tied hand
and foot in his cabin and that he was
sick with dread of what the future
held for him.
Ward was gone an hour. He did no,
hurry; there was no need. Buck couli
would do him good.
Bucks face was pasty when Ware
opened the door. His eyes were a BIZ
CLASSY. And from the congested ap
pearance Of his hands Ward judged
that he had tested to the full his help
~lessness in his bonds. Ward looked a
him a minute and got out the making.
Of a smoke. His mood had changed
in his absence. He no longer wanted
