CHAPTER TX.
Out Of the Blizzard.

1t was dawn when the baby snugglei
close to Joan's warm breast and
awakened her with Its cry of hunger.
She opened her eyes. brushed back the
thick hair from her face, and could see
whore the shadowy form Of her father
was lying at the other side Of the tent.
He was very quiet, and she was
pleased that he was still sleeping. She
knew that the day before he had been
very near to exhaustion, and 80 for
half an hour longer she lay quiet,
cooling softly to the baby Joan. Then
- arose cautiously, tucked the baby

drew herself to her feet. For a mo
ment Joan took his shaggy head be-
tween her two hands.
"Wolfi" she moaned. "Oh, Wolff"
She went on, her breath coming
pantingly now, even from her brief ex-
ertion. The snow was not SO deep on
the ice Of the river. But WIND was
rising. 1t came from the north and
east, straight In her face, and Joan
bowed her head as she pulled with Ka-
zan. Half mile down the river she
stopped, and no longer could she re-
press the hopelessness that rose to
her lips in a sobbing, choking cry.
Forty miles,! She clutched her hands
at her breast, and stood breathing like
one who had been beaten, her back to
the wind. The baby was quiet. Joan
went back and peered down under the
furs and what she saw there spurred
her on again almost fiercely. Twice
she stumbled to her knees in the drifts
After that there was a stretch of
wind-swept ice, and Kazan pulled the
sledge alone. Joan walked at his side.
There was a pain in her chest. A thou
sand needles seemed pricking her face,
and suddenly she remembered the ther-
mometer. She exposed it for time
on the top of the tent. When she looked
at it few minutes later it was 80 de-
grees below zero. Forty miles And
her father had told her that she could
make it-and could not lose herself
But she did not know that even her
father would have been afraid to face
the north that day, with the tempera-
ture at 80 below, and moaning wind
bringing the first warning of a bliz-
zard.
The timber was far behind her now.
Ahead there was nothing but the pitt
less barren, and the timber beyond
that was hidden by the gray gloom of
the day. If there had been trees,
Joan's heart would not have choked so
with terror. But there was nothing
nothing but that gray, ghostly gloom,
with the rim of the sky touching the
earth mile away.
The snow grew heavy under her feet
again. Always she was watching for
those treacherous, frost-coated traps
In the ice her father had spoken of.
But she found now that all the ice and
snow looked alike to her. and that
there was growing pain back of her
eyes. 1t was the intense cold.
The river widened into small lake,
and here the wind struck her In the
face with such force that her weight
was taken from the strap, and Kazan
dragged the sledge alone. A few
inches Of snow impeded her as much

Destroy Home Pests.

Clean up the cabbage patch! Don't
raise crop Of insect pests on the
stalks. That is what is likely to hap
pen If stalks of cabbage or cauli-
flower, collards, brussels sprouts, and
such vegetables are left in the garden
after they have fulfilled their food
mission. Entomologists Of the United
States department of agriculture
advise that where such remnants of
the garden can be promptly fed to
hogs or cattle double purpose will
be served-insect pests will be kept
down and a food provided for meat
making animals.
The plants just named are affected
by the same class of insects of which
there are several distinct kinds-cab
bage worms, the cabbage looper, harle-
quin cabbage bug, cabbage aphis, and
other plant lice and cutworms-any
one Of which, If 1t occurs in sufficiently
large numbers, is capable of destroy
ing an entire crop. After the cabbage
has been cut the stalks are likely to
bear numerous shoots which harbor
the insects in autumn and even dur
ing early winter. Cabbage heads
which have not properly matured
either because Of insect ravages or
for other reasons also may provide a
place of refuge for bugs. All such
crop remnants which cannot be used
for feed, and weeds or other rubbish,
should be destroyed now by burning.
If the gardener is familiar with the
use of arsenicals some stalks may be
left growing to serve as traps for in
sects, the specialists say. The pests
which gather on such traps can be
readily destroyed by busting the
plants with dry paris green or arsen-
ate of lead diluted with about 20 parts
Of finely sifted lime or road dust.

GREAT VALUE OF
SUET IN COOKING
Most Housewives Know That !:
Is Excellent Shortening.
1T HAS SOME MEAT TISSUE
Possesses Same Food Value as Lard,
and II Properly Tried Out, II Is
Satisfactory Substitute for
Frying Purposes.

Special pains should always be
taken to save and use suet because Of
its great value in cookery. Most
housewives know that rendered suet
is very good shortening and very
commonly they also have special
dishes In which the chopped suet is
used instead Of q rendered fat. In
addition to the fat it contains, chopped
suet has some meat tissue. Rendered
suet possesses the same food value as
lard or other similar shortening, and
If properly tried out it is satisfactory
substitute for frying purposes, for
shortening, and for making savory
fats. Anyone who regards suet as
useful only in making soap is wrong
for 1t Is valuable food. Its use for
soap making should be considered only
when the fat has become too rancid
for use or when it has been burned
when used for frying.
Trying Out Sust.
Those who do not know how to rem
der and use suet sometimes object to
1t on the ground of its hardness and
special flavor. Fresh suet, however,
can be so rendered as to make soft
useful fat practically free from any
distinctive flavor or odor. The follow
ing is a simple method for trying out
suet:
Remove the skin and lean parts
from beef fat and cut 1t into small
pieces. Put 1t into saucepan and
cover it with cold water. Place 1t on
the stove uncovered, as 1t is believed
that steam carries away strong flavors.
When the water is nearly all evapo-
rated set the kettle back and let the
fat try out. When the fat has ceased
bubbling and the scraps Of skin are
shriveled, allow the scraps to settle
ut the bottom Of the kettle, strain the
fat through cloth, and set 1t away
to cool.
This fat is so valuable In cooking
that housewives will do well to save
all suet which is trimmed from beef
and try 1t out.
Suet and Leaf Lard.
For those who want a mixture of
suet and leaf lard, which is n softer
A&t thuu IeuueTeu Suet unu nus QlI-
ferent flavor, the following recipe will
be useful:
Take two parts of suet and one Of
leaf lard, finely ground, and mix to-
gether. Render this with whole milk
In the proportion Of one-half pint to
two pounds Of the mixed suet and lard.
(Render means to melt down or to
clarity by melting) This may be con-
veniently done II the suet and lard
mixture be finely divided by passing 1t
through meat grinder and then
heated ina double boiler, when the
fat will be quickly released from the
tissues, and when strained and al
lowed to cool will form n cake on the
surface Of the liquid which may be
easily removed.
This fat has good odor, color and
texture, and is softer than the suet
alone. 1t is particularly useful for
frying and for shortening fnnds which
Gilpin observer., 1918-01-24

are spiced or have distinctive flavors,
and may be also used with satisfac-
tory results in shortening such things
as baking-powder biscuits. It is also
useful for cooking vegetables either
alone or with the addition of a little
butter.
The unpopularity Of fried food in
many families is due largely to the
fact that the fat has been burned in
cooking. Fat when heated to too high
temperature splits up and may form
substances which have an irritating
effect on the throat and may cause
digestive disturbances. Fat in itself
is very valuable food, and If it is not
scorched should prove a healthful
rather than an Objectionable article
Of diet.

won't you come to bed, father?
You're tired-and almost sick"
"Yes-after ! smoke" he repeated.
"Joan, will you keep reminding me to-
morrow Of the airholes? I might for
get. You can always tell them, for
the snow and the crust over them are
whittier than on the rest of the ice, and
like sponge. WIN you remember
the airholes-"
"Yes-s-s-"
Pierre dropped the tent-flap and re-
turned to the fire. He staggered as
he walked.
"GOod night, boy" he said. "Guess
I'd better go In with the kids. Two
days more-forty miles-two days"
Kazan watched him as he entered
the tent. He laid his weight against
the end of his chain until the collar
shut Off his wind. His legs and back
twitched. In that tent where Radisson
had gone were Joan and the baby. He
knew that Pierre would not hurt them,
but he knew, also. that with Pierre
Radisson something terrible and i'm
pending was lowering very near to
them. He wanted the man outside
BY the fire-where he could le still,
and watch him.
In the tent there was silence. Near
er to him than before came Gray
VOLTS cry. Each night she was call
ing earlier, and coming closer to the
camp. He wanted her very near to
him tonight, but he did not even whine
IN response. He dared not break that
still for long time, tired and lame
from the days journey, but sleepless.
The fire burned lower; the wind in the
tree tops died away; and the thick,
gray clouds rolled like massive cur
tain from under the skies. The stars
began to glow white and metallic, and
from far In the north came family a
-risping, moaning sound, like steel
sleigh runners running over frosty
snow-the mysterious monotone of the
northern lights. After that It grew
steadily and swiftly colder.
Tonight Gray Wolf did not compass
herself by the direction of the wind.
She followed like sneaking shadow
over the trail Pierre Radlsson had
made, and when KaZan heard her
again, long after midnight, he lay with
his head erect. and his body rigid, save
FOR a curious twitching of his muscles
There was a new note in Gray VOLTS
voice. wailing note in which there
was more than the mate-call. 1t was

Kazan rose from out of his silence
and his fear, and with his head turned
straight up to the sky he howled as
the wild dogs of the North howl be-
fore the tepees of masters who IRE

Foods Rich In Iron,

Compared with most other foods
milk contains much lime, but very lik
tie iron. Spinach and other green vega
etables, and egg yolks are rich in
iron. This is one reason why COM
binations of egg yolks or vegetables
with milk are good, particularly for
feeding children, for they have special
need for lime and iron.
