He waited fully fifteen minutes aft
er he heard the sound of the automo-

that separated his own home from

Just how to get into the house was

that way, when a person doesn't talk

So he broke into the house just that

| the big long halls seemed fearfully
| lonesome and Ted decided that he
would get Dick at once instead OF

since it was vacation and Dick was
at home every morning. he slipped
out the back door. which was easy
enough to open from the inside, and

you know you'll get put in jail If yol

We'll" said Ted, practically" yo'
know we won't right now and any

Now Dick hadn't any more idea o

but he made the mistake of listenin,
to what Ted said when he was certail

hours before meal time.
Cook six carrots. scrap, cut in long
strips and put in a cold place.
Select a small head of cabbage.
wash and cut very thin slices cross

across makes such pretty salad.
Put the slices of cabbage in a pan
OF cold water to freshen.
At meal time, drain the water off
the cabbage and arrange the slices,
one on each individual plate. If the
slices of cabbage break up, as often
happens. arrange neat, low piles of
the shredded cabbage.
On top of the cabbage arrange the
strips of carrot radiating out from the
center like petals OF a flower.
In the very center put a spoonful
of mayonnaise. either cooked or fresh
will be good.
Serve at once. The beauty of a

But how can you tell the weather

"Ah, that is the trick" exclaimed
father. ITO know a squall after it Is

it at a distance so you can prepare
for it is half the battle won. The only
way to know weather signs is TO study
the weather and remember all changes
and their attending conditions, but

unknowing, Oedipus had made true
the word of the prophet. spoken be-
fore his birth. But he did not realize
that he had slain his father, the King
of Thebes. Great was his surprise.
therefore, to learn that the King of
Thebes was dead and that the crown
of that kingdom was offered to any
man who could answer the riddle of
the Sphinx.
The Sphinx was strange monster
with the face of a woman, and the
body and claws of a Honess. She
crouched on a hill near Thebes wait
ing to pounce upon and kill all the
men who should pass by. because none
of them could answer her riddle.
| When Oedipus heard of the harm this
| creature was doing to men he deter
mined to rid the country Of the
! Sphinx, so he went boldly up to the
monster and said: Tell me your
riddle"
Then spoke the Sphinx: There is
a wondrous creature and its like is not
found on earth, in air or in the water.
At first it goes on four legs, then it
| goes on two legs and in the end 1t
goes on three legs. What is it?'
TT is Mani" cried Oedipus. And in
truth! In infancy man crawls on all
fours, then he walks on two legs and
in old age he leans on a stick as a
sort of a third leg. When the riddle
was guessed the Sphinx cast herself
over the side of the hill and was
crushed to pieces on the rocks below
Great was the rejoicing of the people
of Thebes as they welcomed Oedipus
! and crowned him as their king.
One day Oedipus discovered that ne
