summit.

six hundred feet into the clouds.
Then we went up a stairway cut in
the stone of the mountainside. Then
there was a slope about 500 feet in
extent. Part of the time we were
pulled up with ropes. 1t was worse
than trying to climb up the side of
the Woolworth building.

Upon the top is a fortress cover

the filth and stencil were terrible,
We found fifty Chinese captives

There seemed to be plenty OF

 CUCUMBER SAUCE
BY BERTHA F. SHAPLEIGH Of Columbia University

season two cups of cold. faked salmon, either fresh or canned, with | salt, pepper and onion juice to taste
 and one teaspoon lemon juice. Make sauce of one cup of milk. one-third cup of flour and two tablespoons of butter, and add enough of this to the fish to hold it together
 Spread in a pan to cool. Shape in the form of outlets, one heaping table spoon of the mixture being enough for one outlet, Have ready son1e fine dried bread crumbs and one egg slightly beaten and diluted with one fourth cup of cold water. Cover the outlets with crumbs, thoroughly coat with the egg and again roll in crumbs. Brush off the crumbs which do not adhere and give the outlets a final shaping, making them perfectly smooth with no showing of the fingers on them.
 Fry in deep fat hot enough to brown a piece of bread in 4o counts or seconds, One minute will be long enough to fry the outlets to the right shade. Fry as many pieces of ma caroni, two inches long, as there are outlets and place a piece of this in the small end of each outlet
 Serve with peas or grated fresh seasoned with salt, pep per and vinegar. Garnish with pars- ley or watercress.
