So great was the appeal in Ser
voice, and so moving the fire
and pathos in the great eyes
turned upward to his, that for
a moment Mckay Hedden was
almost stampeded from his posi-
ton. It was on the tip OF his
tongue to confess his plagiarism,
and to offer every reparation in
his power. But the impulse to
confession brought the image of
Henley into his minds eye, and
a sudden passion of jealousy
blazed up in him. SO that in
stead of confession and restitu-
ton there burst from him:

And he tried to take her in
his arms. Silver, however, step

embraced only the empty air.

that was very characteristic of
him. Instead of stopping in mid

and foolish, he carried his sweep

until they lay superbly crossed
upon his chest.

Of the door by which she had
entered.

it's for safety. Certainly I'll tell
you how 1 started to wear my
glasses this way.
We were in the country and one
afternoon when the boy brought
the evening paper picked it up
and started into the house. I call
ed to Bobby:
please bring my glasses. Bobby.
I left them out there on the table
in the garden"
Bobby ran out to look for them,
but came in calling:
II can't find them, Foxy Grand
pa. Your glasses aren't on the
table,"
I felt in all my pockets, then
said:
"That's a funny thing. I'm sure
left them out there"
Out 1 went to look myself, but
l couldn't find my glasses. We
hunted high and low for them
in the house and out in the gar
den. We even looked in the stable,
thinking l might have dropped
them, but nowhere could we find
my glasses.
Well, I had to go to town and
have a new pair made, but I still
believed that / had left them there
on the table. Somebody must have
taken them. But who under the
sun would want my pair of spec
tacles?
About this time we had been
bothered by crows and there was
one big fellow that ate all Of our
corn and just chewed up every
thing in the garden.
We had put scarecrow up, but
this big crow was so wise and
willy that he even perched right on
the scarecrow and impudently
shrieked: Cav! Caw!" as if he
were laughing at us.

And they are very smart-so smart
that they can even tell when a
man is carrying gun. They acn
see a gun from great distance
and seem to understand just what
a dangerous thing it Is for LoeIn.
/ didn't want to shoot this crow,
so l thought 1t over and said to
the boys:
"I don't want to shoot that tel
low, but I can't have him rIpoing
us any more. See If you can't ind
where his nest Is and we'll destroy
the nest. Then he may move to
another part of the country"
So we set off to see If we could
follow the crow and find out where
the crow lived. We watched for
him to come to the cornfield for
his lunch. Sure enough, he came
and after he had had a good meal.
off he flew, cawing at the top Of
his lungs.
Bunny, Bobby and watched him
as he scared high up in the air
and headed for the neighboring
woods. Then we hurried over to
the woods and got there just in
time to see him light in tree.
Bobby lost no time in climbing
up the tree-my, how mad the
crow was! Bobby got up to the
nest and of all the surprised boys
in the world, Bobby was the most
surprised. For when he started
to tear up the nest. what do you
think was lying in it? My glasses!
You know, anything that is shiny
or bright attracts a crows atten-
ton and he carries 1t off to his
nest and that's what this bad fell
low had done.
But that crow couldn't get my
glasses again if he wanted to. be-
cause I have them tied fast right
here around my neck when I don't
wear them on my nose.

BEEF
by LOretto C. Lynch
A Recognized Authority on All
Matters Pertaining to House
hold Management.


x" HE doctor tells me that
my Indernourished child
- should have beef three
or four times a week in his diet.
Yet 1 find beef very expensive
and I'm wondering If you do not
know Of something that might be
substituted"
This is part of an interesting
letter. 1 took trip to my local
market and looked over the va.
rious cuts of beef offered for sale.
Since 1t is beef the doctor orders,
I would not presume to suggest a
substitute. And 1 find that there
are several cuts of beef that seem
cheap enough or at least cheap as
any other food of similar food value.
For instance, chuck steak was
IL cents a pound. Half a pound
of this for 6 cents ought to be
sufficient for a liberal serving for
a child. The trick, however in
making chuck steak edible and d.
gestible, is in it's preparation.
Mix together one tablespoon
each of salad oil and vinegar or
lemon juice. Rub this we'll into
the chuck steak. Allow it to soak
in several hours or overnight in
the refrigerator. Before cooking
wash off the oil mixture. Dry the
meat with a soft towel. Then
broil as any high priced steak.
Chuck steak will be found to be
both flavory and tender and quite
as toothsome and Of even higher
nutritive value than the higher
priced cuts.
Chuck may be cut into pieces
and stewed slowly with the addi-
ton of a bit of onion, carrot, to-
nato and potato. Again the child
may have a meat cake-quarter
of pound Of chuck ground, shaped
and broiled.
Soup made from a little beef
with a marrow bone will give an.
other variation of beef in the diet
at a very small cost.
