The new road will be the greatest

to the east of upper Accomac county,
four and one-half miles from the
mainland, and constitutes q narrow

for Its fine oysters and clans. The
ponies run wild on the upper end
OF the island and marshes. Each

have a pony penning that attracts
visitors and buyers from all over

There are four churches on the
island. as fine and modern as any
on the peninsula; also two hanks

An adverse court decision was her
death knell.
That. attaches OF the sheriffs

Franc Josephine Conde. orty-five,
comely matron Of Los Angeles.
Platt Conde, her husband, came

the grip that Dernier was able to

"once dead. then came the ques.
ton of disposing of the body. Un.
doubtedly this problem had been
carefully thought out. It was now
about 1890 o'clock noon. The pa

Just one woman has raised her
voice in Dernier's defense. and,
strangely enough, that is Stella Ded

She asserts that his dt>.. must have

that she doesn't believe the stories

CHAPTER %
OF THE LAMP

IN En- / lO-N VI L II T. 1sAN1l
Caves were dark and people of the
Stone Age must have had mighty
hard time finding their way around in
side. Some caverns were 500 to 1000
feet in length, and You can imagine
how unpleasant it was to go inside
without light.
BonfreS could be lighted in the
caves, but that meant smoke. smoke,
smoke, There were no windows or
chimneys by which to let it out. If
YOU have ever stayed in d smoky room
you will realize how unpleasant 1t
must have been for Cave people TO let
bonfres burn within their homes. Only
near the entrance could fires be built
with comfort.
Many paintings and engravinga
were made hundreds of feet from cave
entrances. How could light have been
supplied for the artists? There were
two ways.
First, the to<h was invented.
The earliest torches were burning
sticks. which Sputtered and smoked
and gave little light.
You may have noticed that fat meat
will burn If YOU let it get started This
was found out by Cave people when
they roasted the flesh of animals over
open fires.
Some one then got the idea of put
ting 4 piece of blazing fat on the end
of stick and carrying it into the cave.
Such fat torches gave fairly good
light and did not smoke much. Peo-
pie we've now able to get around in
caves without stumbling so often as
before.
Yet there was big drawback to
this torch. The stick which held the
fat was sure to catch fire sooner or
later.
Some thoughtful person got tired
of having the stick burn up, and said;
Lets put the fat on q piece of
stone"
1t was done and that was the be
ginning of the lamp.
As time went on, the lamp stones
were shaped in a manner easy for

person to hold. They were made fiat
and circular-except for a kind of
handle. You see one of these lamps
pictured. One side was slightly hol-
lowed out, and in this hollow was
found a small amount of burnt animal
fat. The other side was decorated
with an engraving of q wild goat.
Other stone lamps have been found
in caves. 1t appears that suet and
lard were sometimes separated frSgn
the animal flesh and placed in the
lamp instead of the fat meat. In such
cases, some sort of wick was doubtless
used.

FOR FOWL. Or FISH

The stufing for fowl or fish IS
much more important than many
realize. The proper filling imparts
the proper flavor and aroma.
Here's one that will appeal both
by its unusualness and its de-
liciousness.
Mix one cup hot mashed pota-
toes; one cup stale bread crumbs;
one-quarter teaspoonful paprika;
two tablespoonfuls melted but
ter; ten Spanish green olives
stoned and cat in large pieces.
Stuff either fowl or fish with
this. The quantity of potatoes
and bread crumbs may be in
