Cream Fritters.

Let one pint of cream come to :,
boil. While it boils stir in seven
ounces of flour and work it well with
a wooden spoon over the fire for two
minutes. Then set the pot on the
table and mix in two tablespoonfuis
of cream that has been cooled Add a
pinch of salt and a teaspoonful of ST.
gar. Into this work about six eggs,
one at time. and each we'll mixed
before you add the other. Then the
dough is ready for use. Have a deep
pan on the fire with some good lard
in it, and let it get hot, but not too
hot. Put all the dough in a bag and
squeeze 1t through pastry tube onto
small pieces of buttered paper in al,
kinds of designs. Drop the designs,
which may be squares, diamonds, cres-
cents or flowers, into the hot lard and
let them cook until a golden brown.

Remove and sprinkle powdered sugar

are good served hot or cold.

For this reason there is a return

the interview had added to your
wrath against him. but you wished
to renew tho talk out Of Avery's

Reynolds to the station where the
Chicago train was to stop for him.
You didn't go back. Mr.. Tate"

reiterated in a hoarse whisper that
died away with a queer cultural
sound in his throat.

called on to establish" The governor
reached for the tablet and held 1t be-
fore the mans eyes. which focused
upon 1t slowly, uncomprehendingly
Now" said the governor. you can
hardly deny that you drew that
sketch, for I saw you do It with my
own eyes. I'm going to ask you. Mr..
Tate, whether this drawing isn't also
your work?"
He drew out the sheet Of paper he
had shown the others earlier in the
evening and placed it beside the tab
let. Tate jumped to his feet, staring
wild-eyed, and a groan escaped him.
The governor caught his arm and
pushed him back into his chair.
you will see that this Is Averys
letter head that was used in the
quarry office. AS you talked there
with Reynolds that night you played
with a pencil as you did here little
while ago, and without realizing 1t
you were creating evidence against
yourself that was all needed to con-
vince me absolutely of your guilt. I
have three other sheets Of Avery's
paper bearing the same figure that
you drew that night at the quarry
office, and I have others collected in
your own office within week! As
you may be aware, the power Of
habit is very strong. For years, no
doubt, your subconsciousness has car
ried that device. and in moments Of
deep abstraction with wholly unre-
lated things your hand has traced it.
Even the Irregularities in the outline
are identical, and the size and shad-
ing are precisely the same. I ask you
again, Mr.. Tate. shall I sign the
pardon I brought here in my pocket

head and trickled down his cheeks in
little streams that shone In the light.

uuins trotted out in fur coats made
from each of these aforesaid animals.
The cream -colorod Arabian pony took
the blue ribbon.
That particular coat is straight in
line, as the sketch shows. 1t hangs
N a slim way from shoulder to hem,
not departing from the straight and
narrow path. 1t Is fastened at the
side without ornamentation. That's
all there is to it. The two other
coats were made like it, one of ga
xefIe and the other of bison.
Other coats of the season are
somewhat ornamental, catching the
spirit of the hour. They are draped
inward at one side. and are usually
held with ornamental buckles. But
NOT the Vionnet coats. Whether
they are short or long, and most OF
