Puss in Boots
Jr.
By David Cory.

The loud ringing of a bell awoke
everyone in Crusoe Castle. Puss
Junior jumped out Of his hammock
and little Tom Thumb yawned and
asked in a sleepy voice, Who's
ringing the door belle" Then Mr..
Crusoe picked up the ladder and
went outside and, placing it against
the fence, climbed up to the top, and
after that he pulled up the ladder
and then let it down on the outside.
All this time SnOozer stood below
wagging his tail, while Mr.. Cru
sOe's two cats, Caramel and Caro-
line, purred and rubbed against the
Calendar Pole. Pretty soon a cur
ly-headed black face appeared
above the wall.
BLACK man Friday" whispered
Tom Thumb
'Bow-wow." yeIped Snoozer, and
in few minutes Mr.. Crusoe and
his man. Friday climbed down the
ladder
This is my good man Friday"
said Mr.. Crusoe. So Puss and Tom
Thumb shook hands with him,
which seemed to please him i'm
menseIy.
"Glum-glum. Blum-bum,- he
cried, smiling and showing a row
of very white teeth.
That's Howdy! Pleased to meet
you in his language said Mr..
Crusoe. He can talk very little
English yet. I've had little time
to devote to his education so far.
But who rang the bell?" asked
PuSs Junior.
Why. Friday did, Of course re-
piled Mr.. Crusoe. Come over here
and IL show you" And then he
led Puss to the rear of the cave.
81 brought this bell from the
wreck" explained Mr.. Crusoe. Al
ter Friday came To me | tied a rope
to it. At the other end of the rope
/ fastened a dOor-knOb. When I
go out Friday usually stays in.
And when ! ring the bell he lets
down the ladder TO me. And when
he's out he rings the bell. just as
he did this morning. and 1 let the
ladder down to him"
What do you do when both OF
you go out?" asked Puss. Does
Snoozer attend to the LADDER
NO, No" replied Mr.. Crusoe.
near by. Then when We come back
nearby. Then when we come back
We get it out and stand It up
against the wall and climb up"
Surprising some one should come
across the ladder and make a
call while you're OUT" asked Ton
Thumb.
We'll. don't know whether
they'd think Of that il they just
happened to find the ladder" an
swered Mr Crusoe.
We'll supposing they did? ali
Tom Thumb.
Caesars Ghost cried Mr.. Cru
soc. Suppose we don't do any
more supposing! I've been so long
alone that I've forgotten how to
play that game. Let's all go down

water boiling, Friday. we're going

up the ladder, with Puss and Tom
close at his heels.

She went thoughtfully up to her

Then she remembered how his

foods:

most important food for growing
children. No other food can take
its place. Children over FIVE years
OF age should have at least three
cups a day, and more where posi-
BILE. MIX should not be given very

Oftentimes milk can be taken

against drinking milk alone, il may
be given in the form of cocoa, milk

2. Eggs. fish, fowl or meat, or
their equivalents-Wh plenty of
milk and an egg a day are included
in the diet of the child very little
meat need be given before the sew

two ounces OF meat daily for a child
from seven TO ten years: three
ounces daily from ten to fourteen
years. The broth from stews may
be given on vegetables and bread.
Where meat and eggs can not be
purchased because Of cost and
scarcity, the diet should contain a
quart of milk, with pea or bean
soups. spinach and other green
vegetables. oatmeal and dried
fruits.
Vegetables and fruits are also
excellent sources of iron and other
elements necessary for growth. and
combined with milk, will supply
food value more than equal to
meat
3. Bread. cereals and other grain
products-These should furnish at
least one-third Of the food required
by the child. The most nouriShing
ones should be included in the diet;
cereals and fours with some Of the
outside Of the grain are more nour-
ishing than the refined f1ours.
Hence, entire wheat -four and
brown rice are better than white

help to prevent constipation.

contain, and their rating, based

David DeLaine had not been in
this room before. Even now he
gave il only a passing glance. But
in that glance he saw that the
apartment was large. that a
polar bear rug lay on the floor and
that the furniture was upholstered
in a soft shade of blue. He looked
snxiously at the slender girl in the
midst of these luxurious furnish
ings.
He had q peculiar feeling. as If
he and she were together amid sur
roundings to which both had been
born; that they had thrown off the
DISCUSSES they had assumed toward
each other and were the David De
Lame and Desiree Leighton whom
Aunt Jeanne had loved and longed
TO make happy.
Something clicked in his brain as
the shutter clicks in a camera. and
he remembered that this was the
daughter of his employer and he
but a common chauffeur; moreover,
that she had referred TO his past,
and that he had been startled by
this reference. She must not sus-
pect who he was.
With an effort he spoke my
past?" he repeated interrogatively
YES" she replied gently. My
father told me that you did not
wish the fact that you had been in
the service known by outsiders. He
suggested that you shrank from
people suspecting that you are not
strong enough to be in the army
that you are rather ashamed Of
what you call your accident
She waited for him to confirm or
deny this statement. He did neither.

why you pretended to be Irish to-

a little smile curved her lips as
she looked at David and fancied his
posing as a fUIl-blooded Irishman.
He saw the smile. His own lips
tvitched and his eyes twinkled.

What you can see in a man who

f1uence of liquor and says that he
cares nothing about a girl he pro-
poses to marry in two weeks time,
is one OF the mysteries that no one
but yourself can fathom. or course,
/ cannot advise you to marry such a
man, as il would mean lifelong
unhappiness for you. Nor could
advise you to marry the young SOL
der in France, whom, it would ap-
pear, you have treated rather badly.
Take stock of yourself and don't
drift with every tide.

The lady in question has con-

HOUSEHOLD
SUGGESTIONS

The secret Of boiling rice cor
rectIy is one which is by no means
always mastered by the English
cook. The Indian cooks method is
very simple. The well-washed rice
is dried in a cloth and then strewed
lightly into the fast-bOiling slightly
sailed water. When il begins TO
swell a teacupfuI OF cold water is
at hand to dash in at the crucial
moment. This naturally puts the
water off the boil, and when il boils
up again another cupful is added,
and another, until the rice is
sweIIed and cracked. While the
grains still remain separate the
water is poured of and the rice is
thrown into a collander to dry in
front OF the fire.
Furs that have lost their shape
can be restretched by the following
means: Make a solution Of three
ounces of salt in pint Of water.
and with the liquid sponge the in

board with the fur downward

fasten il in position with tiny tacks.

them in proper shape they should

paper, tear roughly a piece Of
