ANY Of these fats was excellent
for frying purposes, although / made
IL a rule not to mix the savory and
bland fats lest the flavor Of the

skimmings from corned beef, and
lamb fat proved excellent for deep
fat frying. However, IL was neces-
sary to soak the lamb TAT for twen-
ty-four hours in cold water before
rendering, to remove the strong

rejoinder. "I will explain to moth

it was her duty to break the pain

Ruth consulted her watch. Doris.
was at a matinee and could not
possibly reach home for an hour
yet. There was plenty of time to
go around to the Rodneys and be
back here before Doris return.
In fifteen minutes she was with
Laura and heard all the news
Hugh's sister had yet received.
Only A Brief wsrd.
The telegram had been brief,
stating simply that there had been
an explosion in the laboratory, that
Hugh was seriously injured, that as
yet the physicians could not say
what the results would, be.
"Of course, Dad went at once"
Laura sobbed. "Oh, my dear, what
will he do IL Hugh-if-
Dear Laura" Ruth pleaded, do
not think of any IFS" We must
not let ourselves do that You
know how strong Hugh is-and
what a wonderful constitution he
has. That will pull him through"
"Perhaps--yet only this morning
Dad was saying that he was wor-
ried about Hugh. A friend OF DADS
a doctor out in Minneapolis, wrote
him that Hugh had been working
too hard. that he is thin ant
jumpy.' This doctor met him on
the street recently and got him to
come to his office for an examina-
tion. He says Hugh has been under
a great strain, determined to make
good" as he put 1T. The doctor
urged him to rest a while, but
Hugh said there was too much at
stake
" Dad was broken up about that
letter. for he blamed himself for
putting so much responsibility on
Hugh. He raised his salary last
month: but that only moved the
boy to work all the harder. Dad
thinks IT was his driving that made
him do 1t. But know what it was,

She paused. Ruth nodded com
prehendingly.
