Wild with Joy at the idea of being free,
Allan promised, happy to escape the
dark cavern and the hard work. In
moment the witch had let down a long
ladder of silken cord and dropped bag
containing nice suit of clothing. 1t took
but few seconds for the Prince to dress
and climb out into the sunshine of the
fields.
Remember what YOU owe me and do
not forget that | will meet YOU at the
palace a year from today called the
witch as the Prince mounted the horse and
galloped away.
At first the Prince was so full of Joy at
gaining his freedom that he gave no
thought to the promise, but after ten
months had passed he began TO worry.
In vain his father urged him to find a
bride He moped about the gardens and
sighed at each setting of the sun.
How ] wish | had remained IN the
cavern" he would often say aloud.
Better death in living tomb than such
8 hideous creature ever at my side.
Then there would come to him the
thought Of how miserable his life among
the robbers had been, of the kindness
and care the witch had shown hun, and
| his heart would soften.
'"She is ugly TO look at he murmur-
| ed but she must have noble heart TO
! do so much for me. / made my promise,
| / got nv freedom and ! will keep my
word.
! Time went on. and at last the end of the
! wear dawned II was a golden day In
! November; the light seemed a halo of
mist over the purple fields. At sunset he
| saw coming over the meadows the figure
| of the witch.
! She has kept her word, ! must keep
mine" muttered Allan, SIS he went to
meet her
| ''Ah, this is my Prince, my husband,
exclaimed the woman, reaching out her
bonv hand Give me three kisses, dear
I to seal our happiness =
Allan stopped and pressed three kisses
on the woman S face When he raised his
head he fell back in astonishment, for
/ before him was no longer witch, but q
fair, young, beautiful girl.
/ Il am the Princess Rosiebelle," ex-
| claimed she, as she blushingly took Al
1 lan's hand Two years ago q wicked
witch cast spell on me and said 1T must
, remain till handsome Prince should be
+ willing to wed me Ia spite OF my looks. !
/ saw YOU taken into the robbers cave and
{ loved YOU at .onoe | watched and waited
and thus won you for my own, for knew
/ YOU would keep a promise If II was made
! In the warm glow OF the sunset the
/ happy pair went slowly back TO the castle,
where they met royal welcome from the
old King. Messengers were sent at once 70
the Princess father so that he and his
whole court could come to the great wed
/ ding feast, which lasted a whole week.

crust. are better than none!
Longingly, we recall the dear lttie pies
of childhood days, made just for US by
doting grand-mana who well knew how
alluring and uplifting a Scotch taffy or
mollasses pie could be. Such pies are
almost as inspiring as a mlnce or rich
ample pie, and are right III line with war
time conservation.
In place of the clIstard pie containing
three eggs and as much butter as you
happen to have, try cream corn-Starcn
pie; it contains neither eggs not butter
Bring pint of milk TO the boiling point
You NAV use condensed milk with water.
To it, add one tablespoon of corn-starch
dissolved in little cold milk, two table
spoons of sugar, one tablespoon OF cocoa
and teaspoon of vanilla, or flavor 1T
with grated cocoanut and omit the
| cocoa Cook this until thick and pour
it into a baked pastry shell. When 1t
has cooled little, it will be ready to serve
Another cream pie, more true TO name,
is made with cream Stir together three
| tablespoons of cooking oil or butter sub
! stitute, one half cup of sugar, one cup OF
! cream. a teaspoon of vanilla. Wet one
| tablespoon of cornstarch with little
cold milk and add to the rest. Pour 1T
all into an open crust, and bake 1t well.
| 1t is done when nicely Drowned over the
| top and firm to the touch In the middle.
! This is called children's pie-because
only children are good enough to deserve
| such ambrosial food, | suppose
The treacle tart or molasses pie is also
called, "Yinegar tart, if you put vinegar
In. Oh, 1t is a sweet-sour goody that
elder folks always want a nlbble OF, and
end by taking more than their share. The
under-crust may be made quite PLAIN with
a third of substitute flour and just a little
shortening ii you roll it very thin; 1t does
not count much IN this PIE, beng quite
ecJipsed by the filling. Line the pan with
the lower crust and have the oven hot.
Mix one cup of sweet, table syrup, two
tablespoons Of flour and three tablespoons
of vinegar together and fill the crust with
it. Dot bits of butter substitute over the
top and bake until the crust IS done and
the filling firm This is fine eaten, even
while it is so hot that the tatfy-lIke filling
burns your tongue; it is better when little
cooler, and it is just perfect when eaten
cold with cream over 1T.
Peanut butter pie IS newcomer, but
has already secured place In the front line
of popular favorites Use one half pint
of New Orleans molasses, one tablespoon
of cornstarch, one half teaspoon soda, the
juice of one large lemon and two table
spoons of peanut butter broken In bits.
Mix all this in a bowl dlssolving the corn
starch in a little water After 1T stops
foaming, bake it well IN an open crust.

THE WITCH BRIDE.

THE WITCH BRIDE.
II was the birthday of the young
Prince, and also the hour when he was to
get out on his adventures for a bridN.
For his father was old and wished to see
his son happily married before he left
this world.
Prince Allan was tall and handsome
and as he rode out of the courtyard,
looked very proud in his silken suit with
its golden braid and the jewels cleaning
on sword and cap Gayly he rode his
prancing horse through the forest, till IT
grew dark and great storm arose. The
steed dashed about wildly IN its fright
as the thunder pcalcd and the lightning
flashed. The Prince was thrown to the
earth stunned.
AS he struggled to his feet, two rob-
bers rushed at him with drawn swords.
II was useless for him to fight, SO he let
himself be led away into a cavern IN
which sat the chief of the hrigands..
"We viii take his jewels and his fine
clothes" laughed the chief. "Then he can
dig the tunnel we wish made in the back
of this cave. 1t will keep him busy and
teach him to work, for see from his white
hands he has had little to do in his life. :"
So Allan was stripped of his velvet
suit and robed in coarse cloth, then led
far back into the hill, where not ray OF
light entered. Here he WAS Obliged to
labor for months till he grew thin and
pale One day his spade broke into a
crack through which the daylight stream

down pityingly at him.

SUGGESTS REGIMENT OF
MINING ENGINEERS

That the government organize a
regiment of mining engineers with
headquarters at Golden, is being
urged by the board of trustees Of the
School of Mines in resolution
passed at the regular meeting last
Thursday.
The board has voted to make mil
itary training compulsory in the local
school, beginning with the term op-
ening next September, and an army
officer is to be stationed here to
take charge of that work, the board
members believe that a regiment can
be organized here for duty when
needed.
1t is the plan that the regiment
be made up of Mines students.
Mines alumni members, and the
graduates of other mining schools,
and that the organization would be
ready for duty when called upon.
Inasmuch as the officer in charge
would necessarily have to be a man
whose knowledge combined military
science as well as technical training,
tie board has suggested that Major
Louis R. Bail be detailed to Golden
to take charge of the regiment, if
organized.
Major Ball is graduate of the
School of Mines, and has been in
the regular army for nearly twenty
years. Tie board believes he would
be the ideal officer fer this place.
Even if the war department cannot
see its way clear for the organiza.
ticE of the regim ent of mining en-
gineers, it is the hope of the board
take charge of the military trairing
of the Mines students.

LUKE MeLukE SAYS

A mother would like to name her
baby boy after some great man, only
she doesn't know of any man who
was as great as her son is going to
be.
Isn't 1t wonderful how soon your
socks get holes In them when the
colored lady who does the washing
has gentleman friend?
What has become Of the old-fash-
ioned tad who used to break all but
an inch of the stem off his clay pipe
SO he could have nose warmer?"
Women can do some things better
than mon, but sIitting isn't one of
them. Every time a woman spits
she looks foolish.
None are so blind as those who
pretend to be making an inventory
of our virtues.
1t is dangerous for a woman to sit
around the house all day with moth
ing to do. She is liable to get a
yen to go out into the orchard and
pick an apple off the wrong tree.
After a man gets old enough he
quits hunting for boosts and puts in
his time lodging knocks.
Isn't it funny that the man with a
million dollars and the man without
a cent can never agree as to how
the millionaire should spend his
money?
When a man fails at everything
else he makes wonderful success
as loafer.
A single girl may have to live in
hore, but a married woman has to
live on promises.
When the average man spends as
much as six dollars in advertising in
newspaper he keeps the receipt as
rToof of his right to dictate the pol
icy of the newspaper.
You should not get the idea into
your head that it is woman's sun
ny disposition that makes it warm
for a man.
And where does a man get the
idea that he has a right to treat his
neighbor like he treats his wife's
folks?
