"One Of the most deplorable con-

tion in America today. 1t is a chal-

 Fatty promised faithfully that he would do exactly as his mother wished. She hoped for the best, as 1 they all set out to cross the swamp. Their hosts lived in a tall hemlock by the bend in the creek, half a mile away. And Mrs, Coon said that they ought to get there at least an hour ahead of time, so their hostess wouldn't worry for fear they'd be late.
 Besides" said Mrs. Coon. They might think we weren't coming if we weren't early, And then they might sit right down and eat everything in the house.
 Mir Coon quickened his steps when his wife said that. His son Fatty even ran on ahead And Mrs. Coon trotted along in the rear.
 Well, Mrs Coon knew what she was talking about, Early as they were. they found MT. and Mrs Caleb Coon and all their children seated at the dinner table.
 We thought you weren't comiug'" they cried as they rose as one man or one Coon, rather-and greeted their guests
 Let me see,' said Mrs, Caleb Coon Where shall I have you sit ?"
 These places will do nicely" said Fatty Coon's father He grabbed three chairs away from three bounc- ing sons of the Caleb Coons and wouldn't let go of them.
 There was 8 little trouble over that. But it was soon settled And they all began to eat.
 Mrs, Caleb Coon had prepared corn pudding That was all there was on the table. But Fatty's father kept assuring his hostess that it was enough. He was very polite-much politer, in fact, than he ever was at home.

GO ON WITH THE STORY

They were returning from Pompeii to Naples in the big green car. Tired as he was with the long days excur- sions and conscious of the suppressed antagonism between himself and Ed na. Jack noticed how slowly the ma- chine was going
 Suddenly, in the darkest part of a gloomy, dirty street. no wider than an alley several figures eaped from the shadows to the running board.
 "Soldi, signori, soldi." cried a raucous voice.
 Jack knew the beggar formula, but this was no beggar's tone. Obviously the man was the leader of company of marauders and this his impatient threat, Edna shrank against her hus- band. who cursed not taking re- volver along. Cousins snarled some thing in Italian,
 From the grouped figures burst an answering snarl, The leader leaned forward and actually snatched at the string of pearls about Edna's throat. Jack thrust her back and planted a hard fist neatly in the attackers face. The man went down. but
 At once five or six others leapt to the car, EdnsSscreamed and hid her face Jack strove to protect her and attack the ruffians at the same time,
 Cousins was whacking about to right and left Things looked des- perate Then suddenly the geam of an upraised knife followed by a shrieking oath
 The knife was knocked to the street by an effective blow from Cousins stout cane.
 The manager had risen and was now plying his heavy stick fearlessly about the attacking party. The chauf- feur clapped on a burst of speed and Jacks hard fists knocked off the two who clung fast to the running board.
 When the machine gained the we'll lit Via Roma, Cousins turned to the Duryeas.
 "Neap politan bandits dangerous dogsu' he muttered.

 ness. ran upstair to my own room, and locked the door, leaving him to find his own way out, or wait for Lil- lian to usher him out, as he pleased, II heard her quick footsteps outside my door, and counted their progress down the stairs, Then for severa l minutes, while l lay prone upon my bed, trying 10 shut from my mind the things Dr, Petit had eaid, there was silence.
 What Memor, Brought
 The violent closing of the front door brought me to a sitting posture and l listened hreathlesely to Lillans returning footsteps She halted for an instant outside my room, and l know that l had but to whisper her name to bring her ready sympathy and rcsourcefulness to me But I had no doubt that Dr, Petit had told her what he had just endea,ored to re- late 10 me, and felt that I could not bear to face her possible knowledge | of Dickys derelictions until should have scourged my soul to sanity and self control So I lay motionless un- til l heard the closing of her door, and then l let my tortured nerves have the relief of tears I sobhed until I was too exhausted to do any thing but sleep.
 I awakened the next morning to find the sun streaming in my windows For long minute lay vaguely won dering what it was that was SO op- pressing my spirit Then the remem- brance of Dr. Pettit's accusation, coupled with the humiliating realiza- tion of Dicky's long epistolary silence swept over me, and my spiritual bat tie of the night before was on again
 Claire Foster I mentally visioned her as l had seen her the summer be- fore-slender, 1.-the, dark, with lus- trous black eyes, brimming with mer- riment, with face which so narrow fly escaped beauty that most people would credit her with the possession, with high spirits, a sparkling wit, and dash of diablerie
 She was so essentially modern" in her ideas and behavior that was sure the little formality of a mans being a benedict would matter no whit to her, if she were attracted to him.
 had never thought that Dicky was particularly impressed by her, in- deed, l had heard him refer to her once CT twice in distinctly unfatter- ing terms Could this attitude of his have been but subterfuge?
 I jumped from my bed with sud den disgusted reaction at my own mean suspicion. l would put all 1 thought of Dr. Pettit's words from me, and await my husbands own ver- sion of his long silence.

 Take out small amount of the dough at time, roll, cut and bake in a moderate oven 10 minutes. When finished cookies should be golden brown.
 Nutmeg or cinnam on may be put in when mixed but very good way is to mix ths spices with sugar and sprinkle over the top before baking.
 Raisins-the seedless ones-grated cocoanut, chopped nuts, cherries, cur rants may be used for garnishing the tops.
