TIE VENEER Of THE YEARS
BY WALTER CREEP.

if after a rain, with a loud and
thunderous roar which, mingled
with the creek of the rusty mill
wheel, was anything but pleasing
to hear.
1t was late in a soft August
q evening when Samantha received
an invitation to attend a party to
be given that night at her Cousin
Katy's at Devondale. Hastily
dressing, she went alone up to the
little town, and as she strolled
along she did not notice the dark
storm-clouds that were gathering
in the west. She was thinking of
Oscar. OF course he would be at
the party and would walk home
with her in the moonlight or drive
her home in the new phaeton
which he owned. At any rate he
would be there and the prospect of
spending a happy evening in his
company was to her delicious
anticipation.
1t was a gay little crowd that
gathered at her cousins that night
gay as such crowds usually are
when the young of a village gather
for fun and frolic. But is was
with inward disappointment that
Samantha noticed that Oscar was
not among those present. She
had counted on seeing him and had
hoped to, for she found a strange
delight in being in his presence.
And also because the thought of
going home through the valley
alone was not exactly relishing
OF course there were dozens of
young men at the party who would
baye been glad of the opportunity
Of accompanying her home, for she
was a local belle. But their COM
pany did not fill her with that
placid joy and they were not so
simply devoted as--well she could
not trust them as she did Oscar.
After the party was over and
the guests were beneath the trees
drinking lemonade, the storm that
had been brewing all evening,
broke. A sudden fash of lightning
ana a volley of thunder sent the
Z girls screaming into the house,
just in time to escape the giant
raindrops that fell in torrents. Tho
| boys, acting the part of gallants,
attempted TO rescue the tables and
chairs and got a thorough soaking
as "a reward. Then they an gath

CHAPTER VII.
THE CROSSING OF DEVON RILL

Dcyondale, geographically speak
ing, was an inland town. 1t did
not stand upon the banks of any
river, nor was it near any large
body of water. The only Objec-
ton it could put up against being
called an inland village was a small
stream that flowed just west of the
town; and that could not be re-
lied upon, for it was not always
there. Usually, during the dry
days of summer, its depth was
from six inches to foot; but when
the Autumn rains set in it continu-
ed bank full until late in the win
ter, often overlooking its banks
and inundating the little valley
through which its course lay.
Sometimes, too, during the sum
mer months, when there came a
great dOwnpour Of rain, it rushed
down rs CHANNEL like a foaming
torrent for days at Il time. When
this happened it frequently car
ried away the little culvert that
served as bridge, dislodged
fences and committed similar an
noyances for the Deyondale people
who, despite its rampagos, did not
respect it enough to call it even a
creek, So ,cnst0ad they called it
a rill,-DeyOn Rill.
But the food times were happy
times for Mr. Davis, who owned
the only mill in the Devondalo sec
ton. II was located just below
the avenue that ran from Devon
dale to the Hansford place, and
was perfectly accessible 20 Tie
farmers of the vicinity. Mr.. DAY.

But 10 his surprise the water came
over the dam with such small force
that it would not even bulge the
wheel while it was yet unconnect-
ed with the machinery. SO he was
forced TO wait each time until a
food came In order 10 grind; then
he harnessed up his machinery
and made meal while the rain fell.

it ceased as suddenly as it had be-
gun, the clouds rolled away in COM
panies, and a great full moon, cool
and sweet, bathed the landscape in
silver. As soon as the rain ceased,
the party-goers made ready to de-
part for their homes. The chival-
rous boys provided wraps for the
girls by giving them their coats;
for not a girr had brought even 4
sem ljlance of coat or shawl. Then
with such expressions as, Eve just
had grand time" well, the rain
didn't spoil our fun anyawy," one
by one they passed out through
the gate. At last only Samantha
remained. Her cousin did not
suppose she intended to return
home that night, so she prepared
to retire.

to have something to say.

Good SUPPLY OF
CANNED MEATS
Of Great Importance to Use
Nothing but Absolutely Fresh
and Clean Product.
CARE IS NEEDED With PORK
Directions Given for Preserving Sur
plus in Jars for Future Emereen-
cies-PreserVatiVes of Any
Kind Are Not Required.

Meat is too expensive to be allowed
over-eating. The solution is to put
the surplus at butchering time into
Jars for future use. In this way the
enjoyment and food value is distrib-
uted throughout the year. A more
varied diet is possible for the family
with a supply of canned meats, and
palatable meal can be served on short
notice.
1t is of utmost Importance that only
meat known to be absolutely fresh and
clean can be used for canning. Canning
will not make "safe" meat out of meat
In which putrefaction has begun. No
preservatives of any kind are needed
If the accompanying directions are fol-
lowed. Salt may be added or the
meat may be smoked for flavoring, but
neither is necessary for preservation.
These instructions require the use
of a steam-pressure Gamer which
should be able to develop at least Is
to 90 pounds Of steam pressure, and
should test for considerably higher
pressure to insure the safety of the
operator.
Meats are ready for preparation for
the Gamer as soon as the animal
heat has disappeared. They must be
handled in as clearly manner as pos
sible. For home canning, meats
should be cooked first--fried, broiled,
roasted, baked or stewed-just as
would be done for immediate serving.
to preserve not only the meat, but the
home-cooked flavor as well. The meat
is seasoned according to taste, and is
heated until 1t is entirely cooked
through without needing to be cooked
tender, before placing 1t in the cans.
All parts of the animal should be used.
Canning In Tin Cans.
For canning meat, tin cans in many
respects are superior TO glass. The
same supplies are required for canning
meat In tin cans as for vegetables or
fruit, and the same care ard direc-
tons may be used. Full directions
for doing this may be had by writing
to the department of agriculture and
asking for the circular on home can
ming of meats and sen foods with the
steam-pressure Gamer. Directions are
also given for canning in glass.
The following recipes are given to
show how home-butchered pork may
be made into palatable and econom-
ical dishes and canned for future use
The recipes are merely guides and may
be changed to suit the individual
taste. The time and temperature for
sterilizing, however. should not be
changed. The time given is for tin
cans; pint jars require the same time
for processing as the No. tin cans,
and quart jars the same time as the
No. 3 tin cans
Recipes for Canning Pork--Roast Meat
Select the piece Of meat wanted for
roast, trim, and wipe with a damp
cloth. Heat some grease in a roasting
pan, put In the meat and scar quickly,
turning the meat so all sides are
scared preventing the loss Of meat
