rotary took up the telephone receiv-
err, evidently 20 answer call, and
as she listened I saw her throw up
her other hand in a gesture OF hor-
ror. Then putting the receiver down
hurriedly she rushed in the direction
OF the private office.
l remember thinking that IL was
like seeing a screen picture with the
appearing and disappearing figures
when the physician, whom / had
just dimly glimpsed in the interior
Of his private office, came swiftly
toward the telephone. and without
waiting TO seat himself, took II up
and spoke into ii.
His secretary, apparently a most
efficient young person, lowered at
his elbow, and | saw him once turn
his head toward her as IL giving her
a direction. She disappeared instant
ly. coming back quickly with his
hat. coat and the small black bag
which seems inseparable from a
physician. AS he put up the receiv-
err. yanking off his office coat with
his other hand she deity held his
street coat for him. In few more
seconds l saw him emerge from the
street door OF the DullulHS' jump Az

front, and after an instant's effici-
ent handling OF the starting appara-
tus. drove furiously down the street
Unrcasonably enough l found my
self staring after the retreating car
with tense frightened feeling as
IL the unknown emergency toward
which the physician was speeding
had some personal interest for me. /
tried to Danish the feeling by walk
ing more briskly than before, but
the sensation Of something horrible
hanging over me was too strong TO
be swept away by mere physical
exercise.

train finally came and bore me

OF my sight and TO bar my door
against all intruders until l could de-
eide what was best TO do In the
queer situation confronting me.

II was more than ordinary an
noyance which ] felt at the delay.
The bizarre teller hone conversations
which had had with both my prin-
cipal and his frenzied wife. and the
stifled shrek which / had heard
from Milly Stockbridge's lips just
before the sudden mysterious silence
clamped down upon the telephone
had left me weak, shaken. The very
air of Bayview seemed sinister,
heavy with mystery I had only one

Kitchen Economies
HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS
FOR MAKING THE MOST OF
ASPAR AEI-S

When fresh asparagus IS used
only the tips should be served. and
IL will then be possible 10 consume
all the edible parts OF this vegetable
by using the tougher ends in other
ways.
All fresh asparagus. whether for
hot or cold serving. must be boiled
first, as there is no other way of
cooking IT, Tie the whole stalks to-
gether loosely with "A soft string and
place in hot salted water up TO an
inch or so from the top. so that the
heads are not immersed in water.
They will become sufficiently tender
by being cooked in the steam. Cook
for about half an hour. then drain.
but don't throw away the water.
With a sharp knife cut through the
bunch Of stalks as far down as ten
der and set aside.
The other half of the stalks-the
part too tough 10 be served-should
be cut into inch lengths and re
placed in the water in which the as
paragus has been cooked. Continue
cooking until this is tender enough
TO be forced through a sieve.
This asparagus pulp and juice can
be used in preparing a most flavor
full white sauce TO accompany the
hot asparagus or as a basis Of cream
Of asparagus soup. or as one of the
ingredients of scalloped asparagus.

dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper
and some chopped. hard boiled eggs.

and egg Pour over all a cream
sauce made by cooking together for
a few minutes the butter, flour and
asparagus juice. Sprinkle top with
breadcrumbs, grated cheese and a
few bits of butter. Bake covered for
20 minutes.

They found a baby in the water

baby-dressed in a plain little white
frock and neat little bootees-rath-
er pretty baby, she was, too, with
curly brown hair and a wistful little
mouth and pair Of chubby little
hands. Yet there she was in the
water-not drowned and not muir
dered-just dead of natural
cause. Her parents or whoever had
/ charge of her, didn't know what to
do with her and didn't care-and

Garden Hints

Five or six hills Of summer souashes
planted four feet apart in each direction
will produce enough young tender
sQuashCS for the average family. sum
mer squaShcS require plenty Of heat and
should not be planted until the ground
is reasonably warm. If possible the
hills should he made up n week or two
in advance of planting the seed. n little
we'll rottod manure and tablespoonful
of fertilizer being thoroughly mixed with
the soil of each hill. Plant about seven
or eight seeds to tho hill. covering one
half inch deep. When the plants are
up. thin to three or four.
Young squash seedlings are sometimes
attacked by the striped cucumber beetle.
but it is an easy matter to protect a
few hills by covering each one. with Il
small piece of wire fly screen. After
the plants are ten days or two weeks
old this type Of beetle docs not bother
them. Summer squashps should always
be used when young. while the skin is
so tender that it can yet be punCturcd
with the fingcrnal. Other varieties OF
squaShes adapted for garden grow :
ing are the Hubbard and Boston Mar
row. These are especially good for
baking, and may be kept we'll into the
winter.
