PLAN TO
LESSEN GAS BILLS
Several Things Can Be
Cooked in OUen at Once

(prepareX by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The gas wen consumes more cubic
feet Of gas per hour than any Of the
other burners. One way to reduce the
cost of this gas, when it is necessary
to bake or roast, the United States
Department of Agriculture points out,
is to cook several things in the owe
at once. This can be done without
appreciably Iessening the amount of
heat received by the principal article
to be cooked. For example, when
roasting meat, the potatoes may be
Drowned in the pan with the meat or
baked in their skins or a vegetable
such as tomatoes, eggplant, or celery,
may be scalloped. Apples may be
baked for breakfast, and a baked pud-
ding may be prepared. Possibly there
will be room in the oven for cooking

Ease in Footwear Quite
Important to Everyone

Shoes that let the feet maintain
their normal position In standing and
walking keep their attractive appear
ance and serviceability longer than
those with heels too high or too small,
says the bureau of chemistry of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, in discussing the economical use
of leather. High heels have a ten
dency to become worn down on one
side, which causes excessive strain on
the seams and uneven wear on both
the soles and uppers, as well as being
a constant menac to the health Of
the carer.
Feet that have become distorted by
improperly fitting shoes may need re-
modelling by a series Of gradual
changes. The habitual wearer Of high
heels probably will find low heels I'M
comfortable for a week or So, because
such heels bring into service muscles
that have long been inactive, while
relieving the strain on others trained
to balance the body in an unnatural
position. Likewise it may be more
satisfactory to go by easy stages from
a narrow, pinching toe to one that will
permit the foot to spread out to its
natural size.

Much Depends m Season and on What is OF Hand in Making Insh stews

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Irish stew" usually consists OF beer,
lamb, or mutton, with a favoring of
onion and a good deal of boiled potato
in ~large-sized pieces. By using other
combinations of vegetables and differ
n meats, a large variety Of stews can
be made, according to what happens to
be in season or on hand. 1t is best
to brown the meat in all cases before
simmering it, and the vegetables nave
a better flavor as a rule If they are
cooked separately from the meat and
added to it shortly before serving. In
practically all the southern stews and
gumbos the vegetables are fried first
in butter or fat and then simmered in
very little water until tender. Onion
is usually cooked with the meat after
being fried a few minutes. The direc-
lions for making a stew may be found
among many other recipes, in Farmers
Bulletin 1924, which may be obtained
as long as the supply lasts, by apply
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture.

CHAPTER XIV
The uprisina.

1t was night. Winton had performed
the last offices for the dead woman
The triple tragedy had been too stun
ming for any interchange Of words
upon their future, but at last, there
being nothing more to do, Winton was
free to speak to Sheila about their
future.
He had already gathered that Sea-
ton had told her everything concern
ing the past.
81 want you to come back with me
TO Malopo, Sheila," he said. "Marry
mel will sell out and take you to
my w country. Your life shall be-
gin anew-yours and mine.
She put her hands on his shoulders.
DO you still love me, Winton?' she
asked.
Il have not changed, Sheila."
ut is not because you think you
are bound?"
"Shella, l love you just as much
always"
"Then / will be your wife, Winton,"
she answered gravely, raising her
mouth to his.
He did not urge his love-it was no
time for that, and the past was too
wildly with them for love-making.
Some day, not very far ahead, Win
ton hoped that his dreams might come
true. For the present he was very
well content to know that Sheila was
his, and that nothing more could come
between them.
1t would be Impossible to find the
way back to Malopo that night, and
already the rain-clouds hung black in
the sky. Winton was to occupy n
of the huts, and or the morrow they
would start for Malopo at dawn.
He was surprised that the village
empty, and IA about to question
Sheila when she spoke of it.
"They left two days ago." she said.
All the warriors, with the women and
children. Winton, / am afraid it
means something serious. They do
not trust me any longer. They told
me nothing. l tried to get warning to
Malopo, but my H%ottentot left me-"
"Sheila, I must tell you something.

two desserts at once or for cooking
them successfully during the time re-
uuired for baking the meat. Corn pud-
ding, as an accompaniment to meat, Is
a suitable dish for baking while the
oven is in use.
Cakes, as a rule, cannot be so sue
cessfully handled as other foods, when
several things are being cooked in the
oven. Frequent opening and shutting
the oven door may cause them to fall,
and most cakes are baked at a much
lower temperature than meats. The
maintenance of exact temperatures
when baking bread is also important,
and if anything else is put in the oven
at the same time it must be second
in consideration to the bread. An oven
thermometer is practically a necessity
in such a case. A little practice and
good judgment, however, will enable
one to choose among many foods which
might Just as well be cooked in the
oven as any other way, utilizing the
oven fuel to the fullest extent.

on all sides in hot fat. Remove to a
saucepan and half cover the meat with
hot water. Let simmer until tender.
Thicker the broth with a little -four
which has been Drowned slightly In an
equal amount of fat. Serve with plain
boiled or baked potatoes and a green
salad.
/. Vegetable Combinations.
If a combination with vegetables is
liked, these should be cut into small
pieces and added in ample time for
them to be thoroughly cooked without
the necessity of actually boiling the
stew. Starchy materials such as rice
or macaroni should be cooked sepa-
rately, although potatoes cut small can
be cooked satisfactorily with the meat
at the simmering temperature.
The variations which can be made
upon the plain stew are suggested by
the following list of vegetables and
~seasonings, which may be added singly
or in various combinations: String
beans, lima beans, cabbage, carrots,
celery, okra, onions, peas. peppers,
potatoes, tomatoes, and turnips; curry
powder, celery seed, garlic, thyme.
marjoram, parsley, bay leaves, lemon
juice and capers.

A type of glass=bottom ship that

And he told her quickly CT the de-
tails of the trial. But whether he
convinced her or not, his own fears
We're aroused for her. He believed
that De Witt planned to take Sheila
with him; he would, of course, be ig-
norant of the fact that she knew the
story of her %parentage. Somewhere
De Witt was lying in hiding. Winton
spent a very restless night IN the hut
next to Sheila's, and when at last the
dawn came, and he called her and she
came out, her eyes heavy with sleep,
but smiling at him, his heart vent out
in utter thankfulness.
They saddled their horses and rode
away. During the journey they dis
cussed their plans. They would reach
Malopo in the afternoon and be mar
ried at once. He would take Sheila
home to the little cottage, and he
would settle up his affairs az fast as
possible anc leave the country with
her.
But the program received an unex-
pected setback. A civil marriage was
rendered impossible by Judge Davis
death, and the clergyman, the only
one in Malopo, had gone out for a
bok-shooting, and would not re
turn till the morrow.
Winton was utterly downcast. Even
the thought of taking the girl into
Malopo, which had used her so badly,

was ~unbearable. He decided to house

lance away, where he had resided for
merly.
After he had settled her there, un-
der Sans protection, he ven back
into town and, calling at the police
station, informed the police chief of
the tragedy.
To bis surprise he found himself
the object of a evere cross-examina-
ton. The presence of the vast herd
of springbok was, Of course, known,
but the story appeared incredible.
Winton had been seer riding out
with Judge Davis; the -enmity of the
two men was, of course, a common
place of knowledge. The chief of pr
lice said that he would ride out the
mex morning to investigate, and his,
manner left little doubt that he sus-
pected Winton of having caused the
Judges death.
With his reception, Winton's second
purpose, of giving warning concerning
the native unrest, went out of his
head. Malopo had, indeed, been pre-
pared for an outbreak for some time
past. and rumors of all sorts we're
current; it was not probable that any
action would have been taken on the
story, which would, furthermore, have
led to Sheila's examination. On the
whole, when he remembered his lapse,
Winton did not regret it.
When he got back to the claim, full
of fears for Sheila's safety, and found
her making tea for him in Burns's cot
tage, he forgot all his troubles.
That was the happiest afternoon he
had ever spent. He left Sheila at

over the past, and it seemed only a

stretched out his hands, which worked
cOnvulsively, as if to rend his enemy
to pieces. After them poured the tor
rent of hoofs and horns, two hundred
thousand springbuck surging like an
Irresistible tide under the impulse Of
the migrating instinct. 1t swept be-
tween Winton and Davis, cutting them
asunder; and Winton, checked on a
little knoll, remained a helpless spec
tator of what followed, as incapable
of interfering or rendering aid as if
he were marooned upon an island
amid a surge of living waters.
All around him tossed the red bod
reared and plunged, so that it required
all his skill that he might keep his
seat and not be flung down, to be
gored and trampled on.
He saw the judge grasp at Seaton.
and half pull him from his saddle.
Seaton screamed and tore himself
free. Then the flood of the spring
buck swept in between them and
drove them along, not ten PAGES apart,
but isolated and helpless in the living
stream.
Their horses moved automatically,
carried on by the momentum of the
vast herd, which filled the valley be-
hind and had spread over the face of

Winton saw the judge and Seaton
swept upward, where the pass as
toward the summit of the prec-
ipice. The herd gained the plateau.
But there was no other exit. 1t was
nearing the edge Of the activity.
Then, without any p%erceptible check,
the foremost files Of animals leaped
to destruction upon the rocks below.
For an instant Winton saw Davis and
Seaton at the verge Of the precipice.
They disappeared.
And. file by file, the ~springbuck fol
lowed them, the tawny bodies plunging
INTO the void until the pressure was
checked as the main body of the herd,
oy some communicated instinct,
,werved into the main channel of the
pass.
AS the compact ranks of the spring
buck scattered, Winton drove his
horse up the precipice. At the edge
he dismounted, and, thrusting his
arms through the reins, he looked
over.
A vast brown stain upon the rocks
below was all that marked the grave
Davis and his enemy. And over
head, winging their way through the
)lue sky in solitary file, the vultures
dropped to their festival.
Sick with horror, Winton went back
% the village. He saw Sheila stand

rec and went up to her. She paid

BOSTON BROWN BREAD
SHOULD BE
Excellent Substitute When
Tired of Other Kinds.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
When tired of other kinds of bread,
why not have Boston brown bread
for q change? The United States De-
partment of Agriculture gives the fol-
lowing recipe for making it:
Boston Brown Bread.
2 cupfuls graham III to 2 cupfuls
flour sour milk
/ cupful 1 tablespoonful
1 teaspoonful salt n o
q teaspoonful soda (melted)
Il cupful strip or * cupfuls seeded
molasses raisins
Sift together the dry materials, re-
turning the bran to the flour mlx.Jre.
Add together the sweetening, shorten
ing and one and one-half cupfuls Of
sour milk, or buttermilk, and blend
with the flour mixture, to which the
raisins have been added. If necessary,
add a little more milk until a thick
batter Is formed. Beat well and place
in creased tins, such as coffee or bak-
ing-powder cans, filling not more than
two-thirds full. Place cover on cans
and steam three hours. IL is eXcelleHl
when baked about five hours in a fire
less cooker, especially when a hot radi
ator is used to keep the heat at suffi-
GENTLY high pitch. If no radiator is
used, the bread should be steamed one
hour before putting into the fireless
cooker.
Rye -four, rye meal or home-ground
wheat meal may be used in place of
graham flour.
In place of sour milk and soda one
may use one and one-half cupfuls Of
sweet milk and three teaspoonfuls of
baking powder. If real molasses is
used, ~one-quarter ~teaspoonful of soda
shoull be added to neutralize the acid
of the molasses.
