Chapter Ii6

Chapter 1f6
 Lois had come into the kitchen, then gone outside and returned to the house by the front door.
 This action and its cause occupied Marian's mind as she went upstairs to her own room.
 Lois must have had some good req son for her strange performance.
 Her sister did not ponder lonk be- fore deciding what that reason was. Lois had seen the minister and his hostess together in the library. What the intruder had witnessed had prompt. ed her to conceal from the pair the fact tha tshe had observed their actions.
 So she had noieelessly left the house, and had returned by the front door. Marian's heart srnote her as she re- called the expression of misery on her sisters countenance. This misery must have been caused by the scene of which Lois had been a silent observer. The sound that Marian had heard in, the hall was probably the girls flight from something that had hurt her cruelty.
 To be thus hurt she must be fond of Harold Sumner. She had probably seen Sumner holding her sisters hand, or standing with his hands on that sis ter's shoulders. Perhaps Ghe had over heard his declaration of love.
 He must not love anyone but Lois, Marian determined fiercely. She her self had been foolishly moved by his magnetic personality, by his gentle ness, by his sympathy with her in her trials. But she should not have let him get to the point of telling her that he cared for her. It was only the whim of a moment, perhaps, yet that was the moment that had brought that wretched look to Lois face.
 '.I shall never let him have another tete-a-tete with mel" the younger girl muttered. "He supplied the sympa- thy for which was hungry-weak fool that am! And Lois is suffering in consequence. The worst of it is that I cannot say a word to her about it. I am not supposed to know that she saw OF heard anything this afternoon. I will just have to let things work out" a
 She would have been less sanguine as to their working out satisfactorily could she have appreciated her sisters sentiments toward herself.
 For Lois was not only unhappy. She was also very angry. Not with Har- old Sumner. She was disappointed in him, but his eyes as she met his gaze showed her that he was not the person who was to blame. She had not heard what he was saying to Marian when she looked into the library. But he had been standing with his hands on the girls shoulders, and Marian had not repulsed him. She had doubtless encouraged him.

Sammy laughed right ouA Alright, I'll tell him that" said he. .... .... Jay. Peter thinks backward and Sam my thinks ahead. By that mean that Peter does things as they pop into his head and then later looks back and thinks how he might have done differ ently and much better. This is what Is called being im.pul-sive. Sammy Jay doesn't do things this way. It is very, very seldom that Sammy is im-pul- -sive. He does a lot of thinking before he acts. He plans ahead. So while Peter Rabbit is forever heedlessly poking his wabbly little nose into trouble Sammy Jay usually manages to avoid it.
 Now, Peter started looking for Nan ny Meadow Mouse without any real plan at all. He got as far as the edge of the cornfield, decided it was of no use to look there, and turned back the way he had come just as Danny Mead ow Mouse had done. Sammy Jay first flew to the Big Hickory tree and quiet ly thought the whole thing over.
 What would I have done if I had been in Nanny's place?" thought he. T might have worried a little about Danny, but would have known that he was quite able to take care of him self. As soon as I knew that he couldn't be found I would start for my old home. That would be the sen. sible thing to do. That is just what Nanny has done. That is where she and Danny had started for and she has gone straight there, thinking that

Food Values
 THREE women were gathered
 around the fire sewing. They
 had been talking of their ehil. dren and the conversation veered to foods and food-stuffs.
 II must be stupid" sighed Mary Brown, "but don't understand in the least what ..nitrogenous and non-nitro. genous" foods are. The more I read about proteins and calories, the more bewildered I become. The first thing I know, my children will know more about such things than do."
 ''I was exactly the same way" com forted Minnie Clay. "But so much de pends upon proper food that made an effort to find out--and learned lit tie about them from my doctor"
 There are just two kinds of foods nitrogenous and I1on-nitrogenous," said Gladys Gill. "It is the chemical con. stituents of food that really bother me I am always worrying about the min eral salts and the principal clements of food that we read about, such as car bon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phos- phorus, sulphur, calcium and iron. Fancy human beings requiring so many nystifying things in order to live p
 ''In nitrogenous foods we set all our proteins, such as in lean meat and eggs, vegetables and some fruits and berries. In the non-nitrogenous food class are our carbohydrates, fats, min. erals and water"
 Mary Brown blinked. You are ahead of me already" she said.
 "Nitrogenous foods are the tissue builders" explained Minnie Clay ''They make the flesh of the body, build up and repair, iberate a small amount of energy and improve the conditions of the muscles.
 Lean meats fish, gelatine. milk and game are all nitrogenous foods.
 ''Non-nitrogen0u foods are cereals, staPchy vegetables such as potatoes, peas, beans and lentils, sagos and ta. piocas, nuts, sugars and syrups and fat foods. As for our minerals, which are included in this class, we have our iron in oatmeal, spinach, raisins, eggs, beef and lettlice, also most of the other min. erals and chemical agencies which Gladys mentioned moment ago."
 "I doplt see how you remember them all," sighed Mary Brown.
 ''I don't remember them all," admit. ted Minnie, but l try. In their rela. tion to calories, or percentage valves ia heat and energy production, one might, suppose, divide foods into three groups as to importance, taking carbo. hydrates first, fats second, and proteins third.
 Fuel foods are starch, fat and su gar. We all need a certain amount oi fat in our diet but it is so easy to put on weight when we eat more than oul

Danny will have sense enough to do the same thing"
 Sammy spread his blue wings and started straight for the place where Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse used to live on the Green Meadows. He didn't waste any time looking for Nan ny on the way. When he got there he flew very low, so as to see better. Presently he saw a little movement of tangled dead grass. Sammy's eyes danced.
 Welcome back to the Green Mead ows, Nanny Meadow Mouse !'' he cried.
 There was no answer, nor did the grass move again. Sammy flew down and alishted close by. His eyes twin kled as he said
 Danny Meadow Mouse is breaking his heart because he is sure that he never, never will see you again."
 This time he got a reply promptly. You tell Danny Meadow Mouse that he never will if he hasn't got sense enough to come home!" said a sharp. squeaky voice.
 Sammy laughed right out. "All right. I'll tell him just that" said he, and once more spread his blue wings. And Sammy was as good as his word. He took that message to Danny just as it had been given him.

Blackheads Go Quick
 By This Simple Method

Blackheads--big ones or little ones soft ones or hard ones-on any part of the body, go quickly by a simple method that just dissolves them. To do this get about two ounces of calo- mite powder from your druggist sprinkle little on a hot, wet cloth rub over the blackheads briskly for a few seconds--and wash of. You'll wonder where the blackheads have gone. Pinching and squeezing black heads only open the pores of the skin and leave them large and unsightly- while the simple application of calo- mite powder and the water dissolve them right out, leaving the skin soft and the. pores in their natural con ditinn--Adx..

 What Peter said about Sammy was quite true. His eyes and his wits are of the sharpest. Furthermore, there is nothing he enjoys to try to find out the secrets' of others.
