Lives there the boy who really met the 'bogey man. of fairy lore? Nick Montgomery. 15 year sold, of Ray, did, and that lively mining camp has a mystery that is puzziing detectives, amateur and professional.
 Nick started from town for his home on Zachary hill, at o'clock the other night. It was dark and misting. As he went on through the darkness he was thinking what a fine night it was for ghosts and bogeys and other sorts of spirits that prowl on dark and rainy nights.
 The big light from the Hercules tower was throwing shadows against the new high school building as Nick stepped into the soft dirt of the yard surrounding it.
 Enters the 8eIfry
 We will climb up this corner and get in through the belfry, then for the papers" said voice. It was his first intimation that there were sure enough spooks right near him. This is the way Nick tells the story:
 When l heard the conversation I stopped and listened. Sure enough, up the corner of the lavatory climbed two men, then onto the top of the main building. l wanted to see what they were going to do, so followed them, entering'the bslfry after them and com ing down to the top floor by the lad der.
 They were busy searching the teachers desks in the rooms and CUTS ing over something they could not find 1 was in the hall. I stumbled over something and fell. I heard them come out into the hall, and thought they had both passed me. I lay still a long time, and then got up carefully and took one step. I stepped on a man who grabbed me in a pair of strong arms. I could almost hear him say, 'H'ie, fl, fo fum.'
 But he didn't. What he did say was, I'll teach you to meddle in other folks affairs
 Then the other man came. Not word was spoken while they cut the bell rope and tied me hand and foot They also took my handkerchief and gagged me with it. Then they threw me into a closet"
 Nick was found by school children at $50 in the morning, on the floor of the hall where he had managed to crawl. He was covered with blood from cut on the hand inflicted with the knife the men used to cut the rope. He was almost unconscious from ex- haustion and cold, but revived enough to be able to tell the story after being taken home in the ambulance.
 Search All Night
 His father, R. A. O. Montgemorey chief clerk of the Ray Hercules Cop Der company, spent the night searching for his son, and several times during the night passed by the school building where the boy lay tied.
 The men were masked, according to Nick's description, white, one tall and one short. Local officers working on the case have been unable to establish clew that would lead to the appre- hension of the men or even establish a motive for them entering the new school building, recently erected at a cost of s30,O00.
 Nick says Never again. No more Sherlock stunts for me"

who was tagging understood. He would
smile back and lift his feet with more

meant. A finger describing a spiral in the
air was a promise Of a smoke. But a
circle meant but one thing-a doughnut.

vender. She and a group of the girls in

~PHATEVER the future historian has
" to say in criticism of men, ma
" terials, strategy or charities OF
the great world war, there will be nothing
said in criticism of the doughnuts of the
Salvation Army.
Not only the American soldiers, but the
French and the British and the Italians
all the Allied soldiers knew and welcomed
and appreciated the devotion and skill OF
the Salvation Army doughnut girl.
Hundreds of thousands Of American sol
diers are coming back to their homes, and
one Of their always pleasant recollections
of their hours at the front is the hot dough
nut and the Salvation Army girl who
cooked II. But the doughnuts we're not the
only things the Salvation Army provided
lust behind the firing line, and on this page
to-day are printed the recipes for those
doughnuts and pies and cakes and biscuits
and other things which were always ready,
were always free, were always in abun-
dance, and have added a new glory to the
fame of the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army dOughnut became
symbol of comfort to the soldiers. On
hard march those who saw their comrades

girl took her place. And the smell of hot
lard rising to the French skies was as the
odors of Araby the Blest to the nostrils Of
the weary, hungry defenders of liberty!
There we're forty-two Salvation Army
huts in France. In each of these huts
three to four girls cooked all day. They
cooked all day and cooked many dishes.
but the favorite was doughnuts. Every
day from the huts were served 5000 dough
nuts They were given out so long as they
lasted. None of the boys was stinted. 1t
was expected that three would satisfy the
craving of the yeaTning stomach at one
sitting But each man was supplied until
he asked for no more. And some went on
asking for the sixth dOughnut.
The girls went on frying their dough
nuts. Captain Gertrude McAllister fried
dOughnuts while shrieking shells made two
dents in her helmet. Major Helen Purvi-
ance, the pioneer doughnut maker, fried
the dainty while the tent above her head
was lifted away by shell. Captain kath-
crime Holbrook was cooking in a base hos
pital when an exploding shell flung her to
her knees. But the frying did not stop.
The recipes for the Salvation Army
doughnuts and for other simple but pOpu-
lar dishes that helped to make the Saliva
tion Army tremendously popular are given
elsewhere on this page.
The girl cooks, in their khaki uniforms,
The Washington times., 1919-02-23

were serenaded one day in the hut at
Union Square by returning soldiers.
The soldiers sang my Doughnut Girl,
and the words run thus:
In the glory of light
That comes after the fight
To hallow a nations brave,
There stands forth a girl
Who in wars bloody whirl
Helped the fighter this country to
save
Lassie! My Doughnut Girl!
There in the battles mad swirl,
Oh, how your smiles helped US
through
AS we toiled in the trenches for the
Red, White and Blue!
Mother, sister and friend,
You stuck to the wars bitter end.
We lift our helmets to you
My Little Doughnut Girl!
When the shrapnel flew fast
And our fellows were gassed
You sang and baked and prayed,
AS we bent back the line
Of the Hun toward the Rhine
Cheered on by the doughnuts you
made.

Mix the flour with enough cold water
to absorb all the Jumps while the rest of
the water is heating. Mix all. Split the
biscuit once or twice, and put into the
gravy while it is hot. Keep it hot until
served. 1t is a good way to use up all old
biscuits. Hooverizing was generally prac-
ticed by Salvation Army volunteer cooks.
This makes a good sauce also for other
puddings and for bits of bread.
A quart of sauce will be derived from
this compound.

dropping a slice of raw potato into it.
This will draw to it flakes of -four or
