THE BANQUET

Are you going to the banquet?"
some conversation making Junior
asks.
"Oh, I don't know. / wish we
didn't have to give the old thing,
we won't have any fun" some other
Junior replies.
And all the time we all know that
we all are going and expect to have
a good time and if we didn't have to
give it or weren't allowed to give
it we'd make terrible racket and
think we weren't getting all that is
coming to us. This is the Junior side
of it.
The Seniors apparently take only
a polite interest in it and seem on

In the meantime, Jack and Jerry
go to try to persuade Zulieka not
to marry Elmer. While they are
there, a policeman comes and arrests
Zulieka for telling fortunes and Jack
kicks the brute in the entry. The
boys make their getaway by sliding
down water pipe and spending the
night in box car.
When they arrive home McNutt
comes to arrest them for assaulting
an officer. He sentences Zulieka
and the boys to thirty days in Jail.
To avoid scandal they tell their folks

So the plot deepens.

No telling when he'll get back, and this man out here isn't going to stay where he is very long. If you'll just look toward the woodland as you do out, ma'am--as soon as you are one, I'll stroll out, too, and whip around the corner of the barn to the orchard. And then I'll try to get as close as can to him before he spots me-"
 All right, Jim," I returned reluc- tantly, but please be careful"
 With the futile words, I went out of the barn, obeying his injunction concerning a look at the woodland, but with heart heavy with appre- hension for the quiet, faithful man, whose ideal of duty was so high.

He is individual and perhaps a little ec- centric in his leadership. but he ex- tracts the last atom of feeling from the musicians he leads and the com positions they play. He discovers and imparts moods to that which he in terprets as few have done before him. As an interpreter of the better class of music he exhibits a fidelity to that which worth while, that deserves

 She is still far from well and we are very much worried over her mind. She seems to have developed almost a case of melancholia. She pays no attention to anything or anybody, not even poor Jack, who seems broken-hearted. He has grown very thin, and I do wish that l could persuade him to go away for a little while.
 However. he would not leave Les lie for anything, am sure. He comes in when she Is asleep and sits beside her bed. her hand in his, for hours at a time. But just the mo- ment she stirs as though she were going to awake he steals away, as though he is afraid that even his presence worries her.
 Jack has probably told you that Leslie lost her baby after the acci- dent. The poor child had not told Jack anything about her great ex- pectation. as she seemed to have got ten it into her head that he would not be pleased. She kept the won- derful secret to herself. and conse- ouently. since the automobile acci- dent, she has never asked Jack any thing about it.

 I'm hungry, after my nap said Mir. Bear wit ha yawn. T don't sup pose there's anything fit to eat in this den."
 "Yes, there is. Ephraim," Mrs. Bear assured him. Here's a peck of huckleberries that I've been and picked for you. I thought they'd taste good this hot day"
 Pass 'em over," said MT. Bear. Nils manners were never at their best when he had just walked up from a nap.
 His wife hastened to set the ber- ries beside him. He gave grunt when he saw them.
 There aren't eight quarts of ber- ries here" he grumbled. There are elght quarts in a peck. And you haven't picked more than seven and half"
 There were eight when I stopped picking" Mrs. Rear told him.
 Then the children have been cat ing some of my berries" Mir. Bear growled quickly.
 "Oh. no!" said Mrs. Bear. The berires settled a bit while I was carrying them home"
 Well" Mir. Rear remarked as he filed his mouth with huckleberries. Tits great disappointment to be told you're going to have eight quarts of huckleberries. and then find that you're a pint short"
 The children and I will go and pick another pint for you" Mrs. Bear told her husband.
 He made no objection. On the con- trary, he mumbled that they needn't stop when they had picked 3 pint Of huckleberries. If you picked a pint apiece. that would make a quart and half" es hinted.

HOMEMADE PICKLES
BY SISTER MARY


 The thrifty housekeeper will make her own pickles. In winter and spring good home made pickles stimulate many a jaded appetite and help take the place of formal ap- petizer. Gherkins are expensive to buy when put up but not out of reach for most pocketbooks during the picking season. They are deli cious to serve with sandwiches for a Sunday night lunch. The midgets can be used with afternoon tea sand wiches.
 Ghcrkins
 One hundred small cucumbers, quarts boiling water, 2 cups salt, 1 gallon vinegar, sticks cinnamon, tablespoons sugar, teaspoons mus tard seed, 4 tablespoons whole cloves, 1 tablespoon celery seed, lump of alum size of nutmeg.
 Wash cucumbers and wipe with a dry cloth. Put in a large deep crock and pour over brine. The brine Is made by dissolving the salt in the boiling water. Cover crock with a cheesecloth and let stand three days. Drain brine to the boiling point. Pour over cucumbers and let stand three days.
