spends quickly to all kinds of mental
and emotional stimulation.
Now love is on Parade through all
the hours of every day, at home and
abroad, and the modern girl cannot
escape responding in various ways
to this continued stimulation.
She fails in love easily and often,
and it is well for her that she falls
out of love whenever a fresh stimu-
lation touches her imagination.
Unfortunately, in her definition of
love she confuses the happiness she
gets from pretty clothes and admira-
ton. from speeding autos. smooth
dance floor, AMI endless ~flattery.
But no girl can tell by these things
whether she loves a man well enough
to marry him. Human greed for ma
terial things is Unsuitable.
The n test of love, ancient and
modern, is this: What will one
sacrifice for the good of the beloved?
ONT by getting but by giving is
love assured.

Jackpot Number Three had come
in with q roar that shook the earth
face there was a hiss and a crackle,
the shock of rending strata giving
way to the pressure of the oil pool.
Rocks, clay and sand were hurled
into the air, to come down in a
shower that bombarded everything
| within a radius of several hundred
yards.
With the first faint streaks of day
men came galloping across the des-
ert to the Jackpot. They came a;
first on horseback, singly, and later
by twos and threes. A blackboard APP

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

The woman who is her own cook
| often finds it almost impossible to
go to church Sunday morning. If
the roast is in the oven the gas may
come on and the roast burn up or
the fire may go out and the meat
dry up.
A f~ireless cooker means much for
such a time. There is no danger of
a changing fire to reduce or increase
the heat. If a ~fireless cooker is not
used the meat chosen should be
something that will cook in an hour.
Vegetables offer little difficulty for
they may be prepared ready for
cooking and put in water till need
ed. The salad and dessert are
easily handled. Serve quick cooking
vegetables in their simplest form.
Carefully drained and season. with
salt and pepper and butter, carrots,
turnips, oaulilower or brussels
sprouts are quite as good as if
served in an elaborate sauce.
The salad may be a plain head
lettuce with a cheese dressing or
celery and radishes may take the
place of a separate salad. The des-
sert may be fruit served with
whipped cream or plain and cake or
cookies.
A small roast that will cook in an
hour is known as the fillet Of beef.
This cut is expensive per pound, but
has absolutely no waste. If one
member of a family dislikes rare
beef have the butcher cut the fillet
in individual portions. Then each
piece nay be broiled to suit each
taste.
When buying a fillet of beef the
butcher always carefully trims off
any fat, veins OF t~endonous men,
brane that may cover the meat. The
fillet is then cut in slices or larded
for roasting.
Roast FiIIet OF Beef
Put meat carefully larded on rack
in roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt
and pepper and dredge with flour.
IL salt pork is used for larding very
little salt will be necessary for sea-
soning. Put three OIL four thin slices
of pork in the bottom of the pan.
Cook uncovered in a hot oven for
half an hour. Basic every 10 min
utes with the fat in the pan and
n tablespoon hot water. Serve at
once garnished with parsley. A
two-pound fillet of beef is enough
for four persons.
Broiled FiIlet of Beef
Have the meat carefully trimmed
and cut in slices about one and one
half inches thick. Fasten a thin
slice of bacon around the side of
each piece. Broil over a clear fire
or under the gas broiler for 10 min
utes. five On one side and five on the
other. Season with salt and pepper
and spread with butter.
Serve on a hot platter garnished
with parsley. Round steak may be
ground very fine and made into lit
tie fla cakes secured with bacon
and broiled in the same fashion. An
egg may be stirred into the ground
meat to bind it. Pan broiling is
quite satisfactory for these meat
cakes.
Lamb chops are always delicious
broiled but are expensive on account
of the bone. They r pan broiled
or plain broiled exactly the same
way that beefsteak is.
Canned peas, buttered carrots,
string beans, canned tomatoes or
asparagus are suitable vegetables to
serve with lamb chops.

CHAPTER 80
Retreat


It was only too evident to Paul
thai something had happened. He
had caught the blaze in Polly's eyes,
the confusion of Rigaud, the tense
ness CT the atmosphere.
Twas just gong to ring for
coffee said Polly lamely. but with
game self possession, touching the
bell she had tried vainly to reach a
moment before. "VVas the telephone
more ohliging this time, dear?"
Turning to Rigaud she plunged on,
scarcely knowing what she was say
ing. but hoping to fend off the
storm she saw in her husbands
glance: I'm America, you know,
Monsieur Riagaud. we think the tele-
phone service tie worst in the
world, but we can't take all the
ho~nors--yours is pretty bad, too"
Pau kept an ominous silence.
Rigaud made some commonplace re-
ply and Polly, her nerves strung
taut, carried the burden of talk till
the coffee and cordials we're finished
and the waiter had cleared away.
What would be the outcome? Had
the business plan been ruined E?
Should she tell Paul of Rigaud's be-
havior? Oh, would the evening
never end.
While her mind was still busy
with the tangle, she became aware
that the stir of departure was be-
ginning. she didn't know whether
Paul or Rigaud had made the first
move. or how II had been done. She
caught a few words of her husbands
and their guests reply:
"Ah. yet, about that matter-I1l
let you know" And Polly knew the
sale was lost
In some ann they avoided be-
ing driven home in Rigaud's car
Polly didn't catch the conversation
but Tho %goodnlghts were hasty
and the big machine moved off.

the corner. A quick order to the
driver. the slam of the door-and
her wrists grasped tightly:

COTTON MILLS PROGRESS
Spinning Industry in China Making

Spinning Industry m Cn1na MdkInS cent years. At present there are 69
 Factories Are Busy.
 Tokio, Sept 6.-According to inves- tigations carried out by the depart ment of Agriculture and Commerce the cotton spinning industry in China has been making rapid progress in re- to 10000 balee of yarn and 3,200,- spinning mills with l,S70,000 spindles and 10,s weaving looms working. The annual output of the spinning mills in China is estimated at S00,000 to 1000, ,0o0 bales of yarn and 3,200,- 900 yards of cotton fabrics. Besides these, 1o9 factories are now in course of constru rtion and when they are 3,200.000 additional spindles and 16,oo0 looms will be working. Chinas producing capacity of cotton will thus be increased to something like 100000 bales and that of cotton fabrics to S,o00,o00 yards in the course of a year or two. At present, 3 spinning mills in China are operated by Japanese, by foreigners other than Japanese, and 109 by Chinese.
 It is estimated that when all the spindles now under construction are in operation the yearly consumption of raw cotton will amount to 11,000,000 piculs.
