Breakfast-oranges ready-to- serve cereal, thin cream. broiled lamb chops. creamed potatoes, muf-i fins, jelly, milk. coffee. "
 Lncheon--Cream of tomato soup, croutons. cauliflower in ramekins, rolled oats bread. prune pudding, milk, tea.
 Dlnner-oyster stew, oyster crack CTS, baker ham with caramel sauce, baked potatoes, hearts of lettuce with French dressing. whole wheat bread, sliced or canned peaches, plain cake, milk, coffee.
 A breakfast of lamb chops and po- tatoes is particularly necessary for children who must go some distance to school. Lamb Is so easily digest cd that 1t is an ideal breakfast food. ' If you prefer a lighter breakfast for the children under school age save the chops for their luncheon or dinner. But hearty breakfast should always be planned for chil- dren who go to school. If the Riddles wake up as they should with bright eyes and rosy cheeks, they will have a real appetite for their breakfast and enjoy every mouthful from fruit to milk. ....
 Cauliflower in Ramekins
 One small head cauliflower, 1 hard boiled egg, tablespoons grated cheese, cup white sauce, table, spoons buttered crumbs, salt and paprika. h... Let cauliflower stand in cold, salt ed water, head down for an hour

 In a little while Karl and Jack came back, having found the wom- an and told her that mother would pay all the funeral expenses. This was a great surprise 10 her. She confided to them that she had not known what she was going to do: that the insurance upon her husbands life was a thousand dol- lars, and she had spent practically all of it for the funeral.
 After this week" she said, T would have been obliged to send my children to home, but l would not have anyone think that ] did not love my man, or that l would fail in respect to his memory"

 We have found four different people who saw Mrs Raynor fur lively slip something into her hus- bands tea or coffee cups, we have found book on poisons concealed in her bookcase, and we have found tablets hidden in vase in her bedroom which, when analysed, were found to be arsenic. Add 10 this the symptoms Of arsenical poisoning observed in Mir. Raynor for some time before he died, and state fl you can, any flaw in my req soning from these facts that Mrs. Raynor poisoned her husband"
 Granting all that Malcolm Fin. ley said, you've no real case against Mrs. Raynor.

 So tho men and boys all raced 10 the cold spring and washed their faces and then laughingly and whooping they raced back for their Ereakfast.
 Raggedy Ann and Walters mama had gone aboard the magic boat and had brought ashore every thing needed for a 4ice breakfast. There was breakfast foods with rich cream and sugar, poached eggs and buttered toast and fried ham and other things. It really was very nice breakfast.
 "Now." Raggedy Ann said to the little fat Captain, Please read to LIS all there is in the old. old book about the treasures buried upon this island." So the Captain brought the book and read:
 At the top of Watch Tower Hill you will sec five trees. Buried nn- der the fifth tree you will find two sea chests filled with gold and sil- yer"
 That will be nasy 10 fn1. I'll hot nickel" Walters daddy said, For there must be rcai signs pointing the direction 10 Watch Tower Hill."

A Wife's Confessional
 Adele Gsrrtsons New Phsa REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

If Edith Fairfax still loved Dicky "a touch upon my arm closed the gate upon that thoroughfare, and turned 10 see my mother-in-law's eyes, unwontcdly tender looking steadily into mine.
 Don't let them sec 1t disturbs you, Margaret" she counseled, and then her trembling hand slid down my arm until it closed upon mine warmly.
 Edith's Plans
 You know that 1t is all on her side" she whispered jealously-- Mother Graham never has particu- larly cared for Edith Fairfax "Richard never thought anything about her and he is crazy about you, always has been"
 The astonishing admission from my captious mother-in-law heart ened me even more than her sym pathy, balm though that was, and l pulled. myself together in time to ring the front doorbell as Mrs. Dur kec had requested.
 She opened 1t minute later, and her apparent surprise and ilamboy- ant welcome would have done credit to a seasoned stock actress.
 The next minute, Edith and Leila. summoned by her excited little cries. appeared in the doorway, and well comed us warmly. l knew Leila was genuinely glad to see me, but with the memory of that bitter wall in my ears, doubted Edith's pleasure.
 Her mask, however, was a good one and so cleverly worn that l looked to my own laurels in that re- spect. It was exceedingly difficult to meet her upon the plane of im- personal friendliness which had been ours, but l managed it, and in few minutes over the hot breakfast Katie executed, we were deep in the plans for the projected tri pto North Carolina.
 'It is too wonderful, Mother Ora ham," Leila exclaimed, her enthu- siasm bringing pretty flush to her pale face, that you can go dowr to be with Aunt Dora and me. We shall be so lonely down there after Ede comes back"
 I hoped that no one saw the dis. mayed start I gave. Edith Fairfax coming back to Marvin so soon, and alone!

 Anyway. It will make the search for the hidden treasure all the more exciting!" Raggedy Andy laughed. If we could just walk up here on this island and march right up 10 where the treasure is hidden, that wouldn't be a speck Aof fun! The Captain and I will search for the hill and when Ee find it, we will return and get ' ou. then We can all have fun digging for the treasure"

 They had only gone about a mile when they met with an adventure and they were glad that Walter and his mama and daddy were not with them, for, upon turning a bend in the path. they suddenly came upon six Brigands who caught the Raggedys and the little fat Cap tain and tied them 10 tree.

Letter From Leslie Prescott to Ruth Burke, Continued

After Karl and John had gone to carry out mothers charitable idea, I went up to her room and found her sitting beside the window with her hands folded in her lap, and with such q look of utter loneli- ness upon her face that I hastnned to put my arms around her and tell her that John anl I were go- ing to always try to carry out her wishes, and that he and Karl had already gone to bring some com fort to that other woman, who had buried not only her iove and her hopes, but probably her only sup port.
 T do hope he will find her, Les lie. and tell her l will defray all the funeral expenses"
 "He will, dearest" I answered.
 Shortly she began to talk to me about her life with my father. She told me of an evening when she had been sitting with him a week or two before. After they had been silent quite a while and she thought. he was asleep, he reached out and clasped her hand, and whispered: Alice, I'm afraid I'm rot going to get we'll"

And then Ezra Goddard friend of Finley; Miss Mat tie, Raynors sister. and otiierss en- ter upon the scene. Det@ @tive Dobblns heads the police investiga- ton.

The News About Edith That Leila Broke 10 Madge

Leilas tones were so distinct that there was no use my pretending ] had not overheard her qucrulous outburst against Edith, with its startling reference to my husband
 That Mother Graham and Mrs. nurkee also had heard-and under stood-hcr little speech l knew by tho look of consternation which flashed into both their faces. But l was concerned with only one thought the quickest exit.
 I turned to my hostess in an agony Of apprehension lest Edith Fairfax should learn had over heard her sisters tactless-and re- veaIing--words,
 Don't let them know-" l whis- pered, but with the resourcefulness which surprisingly lies beneath her kittcnish and fluffy exterior Mrs. Durkce pointed to tho door behind us, and as wc noiselessly made our way back to the front porch, she followed us, whispering as she shut the door;

 I did not answer her. found speech impossible, for l had heard Edith Tairfax's choking response to her sisters surprising query, and 1t had shaken me sorely.
 "Oh, Leila; How can you be so cruel?" the low wall had risen. T know you are not yourself at this time, but surely even your condi- ton does not justify you in bring ing up that"
 had heard no more, but it was more than enough. I had not heard that note in Edith FairfaK's voice since the time we faced each other across the library table In the Mar. win home, and she declared vehe' mently, passionately:
 T love him more truly than you can-would make him happier-bc a better wife for him."
 Don't Let Them See"
 The memory of that scene hat lain between us ever since, but dur ing the last year or two the tension which both of us felt gradually hat lessened, and we had become, i not close friends, at least intimate cordial aequaintances. thrown to gether as we necessarily were by thu close relations between the two fam ilies. Secretly I had shared thu openly expressed hope of her siste that she was at last about to reward the long devotion of Dr. Jim Paige her childhood sweetheart. and t quote his own delicious southerl drawl-'a cousin four or five time removed"
 But this wall fraught with heart break, sounded when she was un conscious of any other auditor tha the sister who shared her ever thought, dispelled that hope upo the instant. A woman of Edit Fairfax's caliber, with that emo tional note for one man in her voic and heart, could not be contemplat ing matrimony with another, an bleakly I faced the ghoulish resur rection of fear in my life whic I thought had been safely buried.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

she's not benefited at all," said Orry, coolly. She's practically cut off"
 "She didn't know that until after the deed was done," returped Dob- bins "and l don't mean financially cnly. Mrs. Raynor was exceedingly unhappy with her husband, she had tried for some time to take his life by administering a slow, cumulative poison. Not succeeding, and urged on by the reappearance of her for mer suitor, which, Iadmit, made the attitude of her husband harder to bear. Mrs. Raynor became desperate and ended her bondage, for 1t was bondage, by shooting her tyrant."
 But you accuse me of the shoot ing," said Finley. Only my finger prints were found on the revolver, I'm told"
 That was a clever stunt of yours MT. Finley" and the detective looked at him with a sore of grudging ad- miration, 'I believe you picked up that pistol, just as you say you did and, believe that you had seen who dropped it-who fired it, as we'll and. to save her you were quick witted enough to whip out your handkerchief and polish off all finger marks except your own. It was an ingenious dodge, and it worked--in that it eliminated the prints of Mrs Raynors fingers. But you cant get ahead of me, Mir. Finley-I'm onto your little games"
 The astounded, even crestfallen lcok, which Malcolm Finley was not quite quick enough to hide, seemed to corroborate the opinions of the detective.
 Cut it ont Dobbins." said Orylle Kent sternly; perhaps you have some reason to suspect my sister oi giving tablets of some sort to MT Raynor, but you have no evidence tc warrant such a suspicion as you are now suggesting! My sister was out on the west terrace at the time thai slot was fred"
 Now, now, MT. Kent, how do you know that? You, yourself, wert down on the bridge a good three hundred yards away and you know nothing of the situation except b, hearsay-"
 Well, there's no truth In th' statement that my sister shot"
 "Oh, shut up. Kent" said Ezr, Goddard impatiently. We knov your love and loyalty for your siste prompts all this defense of her, bu it doesn't get us anywhere.
 1 Well. we're going to get some where" declared Dobbins. "an' mighty quick, too. I'll take up tn poisoning business first. We hay everything to prove that-excep Mrs. Raynor's own confession which we can hardly expect"
