A BOUT 3 o'clock on blhstery
~ March afternoon Mrs. Thorne
N Blaisdell walked out of her
husbands Office with the grim
air Of a woman who has accomplished
task with difficulty. Mr.. Thorne
Blaisdell, who chuckled IS the door
closed behind her. leaned forward to
push the buzzer beside his desk. He
asked that Mr.. John Lindsay of the
shipping department be sent to him.
John Lindsay stepped briskly to-
ward Mr.. Blaisdell's Office with a de-
cidediy unpleasant sensation. He'd
grown rather fond of working for the
biaisdell company. in spite of the fact
that he had accepted the job in the
shipping department so grudgingly a
rev months previous. He knew that
tory and felt. angrily, that he would
put up good fight before he would
let anybody fire him.
He felt rather scrappy. anyhow
the evening before he and his wife
had INDUCED in a lengthy argument
anent an offer that Merriam had had
from a motion picture company. He
knew that his modest income could
never seem adequate to girl whose
father had given her such eXtrava-
giant notions about what constituted
the necessities of life. But all day
long the thought of his wife as mo-
ton picture actress had irritated him.
RAMS extraordinary attitude had been
increasing. Big and blond and belliger-
ent. he strobe to Thorne Blisdell's desk:
That gentleman. white haired and
ruddy. politely offered his employe a
seat ard cigar.

abruptly.
John Redeemed
"Why-l-er-par.icu asked Mrs.
Blaisdeil not to say anything about it."
You are young" Blaisdell COM
mented dryly. "Don't you. know tina;
asking any married woman not to
tell her husband something is equiv
alent to shouting at him through a
megaphone?"
''But -" John houndered miser;
ehiyalrously. Il Know she didn't an.
swer me when ! asked her not to
tell you: she hasn't exactly broken
faith with me-but well. Merry
has me badly scared. I feel as though
simply can't have her do anything
like that. And well, I though,
with her"
"She hasn't" Blaisdell blew a
smoke ring meditatively. Not in
this instance. anyhow. She went to
your house for luncheon today. but
she came in here half an hour ago
completely baffled. Says Merry will
not pay any attention to even the
strongest argument she can advance

other very long. But l think it's
long enough that YOU know that
Frederick Leland's daughter is as
dear to me as one of my own. And

existing conditions of his unhappy
circumstances. Merriam is-er-well

But that night when Farmer
Browns Boy was once more left alone
in the little sugar house, his thoughts
returned to Trader and he planned to
have some fun with him. We'll do
a little tradins. chuckled Farmer
good trader that little scamp is.
I'll put some things out for him to see
what he will give me in return"
So before he went to bed Farmer
Browns Boy carefully put away the
things he didn't want Trader the
box on the table he put some shiny
new nails. two or three buttons, the
handle of broken tea cup. a penny
and little, round pocket looking
glass. Near the box he put some
scraps which he had taken pains to
save from supper. Then he went
to bed.
The next morning when he awoke
the first thing Farmer Browns Boy
did was to look in the box where he
had placed all those things the night
before Not one of those things re-
manned. but the box was a little more
than half filled with pine cone scales.
Farmer Browns Boy chuckled.
that trade" said he. Those things
Trader took are not of the least bit
of use to him, but i suppose he will
have lot of pleasure just looking
at them. These scales he has left
for me are not the least bit of use
trading with him. So l guess Well
call the trade even. Tonight We'll
try another trade
During the day Farmer Browns
Boy had to go over home on an err
rand. He brought back with him a
handful of corn. That night he put
the corn in the little box onQhe table.
The next morning when he peeped
in the box he found-what do you
think? He found that box half full
when he discovered them.
"A fair trade" he cried. Trader
has probably got more beechnuts than
he knows what to do with, and GER
tainly that handful of corn will never
be missed at home. So. altogether. I
call this pretty even trade"
That night when Farmer Browns
Boy went to bed he was not as tired
as he had been other nights and he
managed to keep awake. By and by
the scratching of little claws as
Trader climbed up on the table.
Farmer Browns Boy waited few
minutes and then pressed the button
of his fiashlight. There sat Trader
the Rat eating the scraps Farmer
Browns boy had thoughtfulIy left for
him. Somehow Trader seemed to
know that there was nothing to be
afraid OF. and he rema ined right
there until he had finished the last
scrap.
Thus Farmer Browns Boy made
friends with Trader the Wood Rat.
and before the season was over
Trader had learned that he had a new
friend and true friend. He would
come out with the coming of the first
black shadows and take food from the
hand of Farmer Browns Boy.

Yeast in Dough,

The miracle Of leavened bread is
so old and SO common. When you
make bread, stop once in while to
realize the wonder of the changes
that you bring about. as mysterious
as that of the butterfly from the
caterpillar.
You put yeast into moist -four. and
II you keep it warm enough and not
too warm, it works" feeding on the
sugar (carbohydrate) of the -four.
grows and spreads. giving off carbon
dioxide gas. which forces it's way
among the particles of gluten.
These particles yield and swell. but
do not break, and thus your dough
rises
To grow. yeast must have moisture,
heat and food. The best temperature
IS from Z! to IS degrees Fahrenheit.
For food it needs sugar, which in the
scientific sense is present in the
starch of wheat. Yeast is as old as
the hills. The oldest method Of grow
ing it is perhaps that of the ancient
Egyptians. Wild yeast from the air
was obtained and set in dough. and
portion Of the dough saved from
baking: this portion went on devel-
oping SO that a little of it would
leaven the whole loar.
Potato yeast can still be made sim :
ilarly from wild yeast cultivated in
decoction of potato and water. Hops
may be used instead of potato. Scot
fish BARNS" are made by letting
yeast grow in malt extract and flour.
Our own compressed yeast and dry
yeast are made by growing yeast
plants in some sweet liquid. drying
the material to check their growth.
and then pressing It.. Sometimes a
little starch is added to the cakes to
make them keep thir shape. Com
pressed yeast. being still moist when
marketed, cannot be kept long, but
dry yeast keeps indefinitely.
Long as man has known yeast and
used it. he still has much to learn
about it. The study of yeast. because
it is the study of life.. is one of the
most fascinating fields in the still
unexpored world Of human foods.

Things You'll Like
to Make.

A comfortable back rest and pretty
decoration is cush:on to fit the chair
back. Cut paper pattern of the
shape of the back of the chair. Cut
down this pattern two inches smaller
on the sides and five or six inches
from the top. Now lay this pattern
on the material of which the cushion
is to be made. Cretonne. silk or vel
vet is pretty. Cut another piece for
the back of the cushion.
This can be made from plain ma
terial. Join the pieces with a two
inch band. Pad with cotton or feath-
ers. Silk or soft cotton material clip
ped into tiny pieces serves nicely as
filing for cushions. Tie this cush-
ion to At the chair back to the chair
with ribbon that matches the cushion
covering. FLORA.

it bobbed. My mother says I ought
to be glad have nice hair. My father
says cannot have it bobbed. Please
tell me what you think-(H. b.
Answer think your mother and
father are right. Five years from
now you will understand that they
were right. 1t Is an error for any
girl with nice hair to have her hair
cut or bobbed.
Benzipe for Wounds.
What is your opinion of benzine as
a cleanser and antiseptic for wounds
such as cuts and tears sustained in a
shop?-(K. X. Ed
Answer.-It is excellent as a
cleanser. I think the wound should
be swabbed once with tincture Of TO-
dine after it has been cleansed with
benZine.

Farmer Browns Boy.
Farmer Browns Boy was delighted
at having made the acquaintance Of
Trader the Wood Rat. He was care
full not to disturb Traders home,
which he had found under the floor
of the little sugar house. Trader was
not at home and was nowhere to be
seen. OF course. when he heard
Farmer Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy tearing up the floor he ran away
and hid. Having taken out the things
Trader had stolen, the floor was care
fully put back and Farmer Brown
and his boy went to work collecting
sap and making strip and sugar
All day long they were too busy to
give further thought to Trader.
