A BOUT this time OF year a good
~ many persons strike soups
- from their daily bill Of fare
because the very quality that makes
them valuable and welcome in cold
weather makes them unattractive
when the days become warm.
Still the soup course adds valuable
nourishment TO the menu and more
over it is a good idea to have some
thing TO serve as a preparation for
the heartier. heavier .viands that
come later in the meal. So instead
of doing away with the soup course
you can occasionally at least serve
cold soup il you wish.
Amy good clear stock soup turns
to jelly when allowed to cool, and
this is delicious if Gaintily served
with a garnish OF parsley. If the
stock does not become jellied readily
you can add a little gelatine d s.
solved in a little cold water when
the stock is still hot and this will
make sure that II becomes solid on
ice, besides adding somewhat to its
nutritive value.
Tomato jelly may be served as a
salad. but it also Is nice served IN
place of the soup course. To make
it mix the following ingredients to-
Gether; a pint of tomato pulp,
either fresh or canned, a slice of
onion, one teaspoon of Worcester
shire sauce and a half cup of cold
water. Strain and while still hot
add two teaspoons Of granulated
gelatin that has been soaked in cold
water. When dissolved pour out
into cups and set on the ice to chill.

Good Warm Weather Desserts With Rice
There Are Many of Them AS Combines With

"HERE are a great many good
uses as dessert to which you
may put rice in summer.
1t was about two hundred and
twenty-eight years ago that the
first rice was brought to this coun-
try. In 1894 a sea- faring man
brought a bag OF paddy or rough
rice from Madagascar to Charles
town merchant. Everybody knows
how much a staple it has since be-
come in the South. Indeed. it is
said that rice supplies the principal
nourishment OF nearly half the
worlds population, so it is no Won
der that we took to it so naturally.
There are a tremendously large
number Of interesting summer des-
serts to make with rice. They are
cold desserts. but one must bear in
mind in serving them that they con-
tain a good deal Of nourishment. and
therefore should really be served
with a meal rather light in other re-
spects. That is to say, they are
especially good for the luncheon

salad and bread and butter. or OF the
dinner consisting Of clear stock soup.

able amount of nourishment to the
meal with which they are served,

conservative this summer than
for several seasons past, but that in
color they Will be more extrava-

tul' and skirts will often be less
abbreviated, but there will be more
reds and yellowS, more brilliant
blues, vibrating puppies and striking

liant hues will often be comb ned in
the same bathing suit.

among novelties. Water tight CHAR

CHAPTER XIV
Old Burr of the Ferry.

Oid BUTT Of the FeFFy.
 It was m late November and while the coal carrier Pontiac, on which he was serving as lookout was in Lake Superior that Alan first heard of Jim Eurr. The name spoken among some other names In casual conversation by d member of the crew, stirred and ex- cited him; the name James Burr, Oc- curing on Benjamin Corvet's list, had borne opposite it the legend "AIl dis appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose investigations had accounted for all others whom the list contained had been able regarding Burr only to verify the fact that at the address given no one of this name was to be found.
 He questioned the OIIer who had mentioned Burr. The man had met Burr ole night in ManitOwoc with other men, and something about the old man had impressed both his name and Image on him; he knew no more than that. At ManitowOC the place from which Captain StaG'Ord's watch had been sent to Constance Sherrill and where Alan had sought for, but had failed to find, the sender! Had Alan stumbled by chance upon the one whom Benjamin Corvet had been un- able to trace7
 Alan could not leave the Pontiac and go at once to ManItowoc to seek Burr; for he was needed where he was. It was fully a week later and after the Pontiac had been laden again and had repassed the length of Lake Superior that Alan left the vessel at Sault Ste. Marie and took the train for Manito- woe
 The little lake port of ManItOwOc, which he reached in the late afternoon, was turbulent with the lake seasons approaching close, Alan inquired for the seamen's drinking place, where his informant had met Jim Burr; following the directions he received he made his way along the river bank until be found 1t.
 The proprietor knew old Jim Burr yes. Burr was a wheelsman on Car ferry Number g. He was a Iakemm, experienced and capable; that fact some months before, had served as ln- roduction for him to the frequenters of this place. When the ferry was In harbor and his duties left him idle, Burr came up and waited there, Cccu- pying always the same chair. He never drank; he never spoke to others unless they spoke first to him, but then he talked freely about. old days
