VARNISH NOW POPULAR
AS FRUIT PRESERVER
Candy Is Also Subjected to the Pro-
cess When Kept Long Time.

A thin coat of varnish or shellac on
fruit will eliminate the need for pre-
serving, according to William Downie,
OF Cleveland, who addressed the paint
ers and decorators convention, says a
recent dispatch from Atlantic City to
the Indianapolis Star.
People eat varnish every day with
out knowing it, the speaker explained.
For fruit" he said, ali that is
necessary is a thin coating OF varnish
or shellac. 1t will last for months, re-
tain its original flavor and beauty and
no one need fear that there will be
any suspicion of varnish flavor.
Nearly all candy that is made to
sell months after it is boxed is coated
with varnish or shellac."

That il was a matter of but two or three minutes more before l should find ou what menace to our custody Of tho helpless Harrison children awaited ne. l knew, but found it difficult indeed to keep from betraying my anxiety.
 He drove the car swiftly along the bumpy, ash-strewn alley, and wher within few rods of the carefully masked opening in the hemlocli hedge sounded three staccato note. on the auto horn, a signal which he repeated as he drove between the trees that formed the opening.
 Then he skirted the hedge. follow. ing a. curving path which led into the court over which the window Of the rooms allotted Us looked, and as We swung into the court, I saw the doors to the garage beneath the house slide open, and the next minute the car was inside. and the doors closed again.
 Little Mrs. Bird was at the door Of the car as it stopped.
 Did you see Mac?" she queried of the driver.
 "Yes, he put me wise to every thing" the youth replied, and knew that he referred to the whis- pered colloquy in the garage where he had lowered the curtains Of the car.
 Did You sec Mrs. Underwood?"
 ''All right" The answer was as crisp as the directions which fol- lowed it. ''Go over this car and Mrs. Grabam's car in the garage at the back of the yard and see that they are in readiness 10 start at any minute Come. Mrs. Graham. Oh. your bundles . Wait q minute .' She signalled the youth, Help us up with these bundles first"
 He swiftly gathered most of the bundles and. followed us up to little Mrs. Birds sitting room, where she dismissed him.
 "T want to talk 10 you a minute before you see your people," she said. "First, did you see Mrs. Underwood ?" "Yes, and she gave me this for you."
 held out the note which Lillian had given me, and she read it care fully twice. Then she looked up at me with a look of relief In her eyes. Trust Mrs. Underwood 10 see 10 things" she said. "This straightens ont every difficulty had. Now. here's the plan-but sit down. You're pretty nearly all in"

Dear mel" Raggedy Ann said. We had the mean old Magician cap- tured and were all sitting on him. but now he has escaped."
 "1 am afraid that shall never dis cover what the mean old Magician has done with my dear old Granma!" the Wild Gazook sobbed.
 Eaggedy Ann wiped away his tears with her pocket hanky. the one with the pretty blue border Of forget me- nots. "Please do not weep. nice Wild GaZook. We will run after ihe mean old Ma eician and capture him again before long then if he does not tell us what he has done with your nice dear old Granma we will let you bump him all around the place"
 And I shall bump him as hard as ever ] can." the Wild Gszook .cried.
 The Wild Gazook could do this very easily. for as you must know. fhe mean old Magician had changed ihe wiid Gazook from a nice little boy into a Wild Gazook and Wild Gazooks have heads just like Billy Goats. And Billy Goats have large hard horns.
 So the friends, Raggedy Ann. Rag. gedy Andy. inc Wild Gazook, the Hoolygoolys and the nice fat police man all followed the trail left by the mean old Magician through the grass and bushes and soon saw that it would lead back to the Mszician's house.
 Rsggedy Ann stiIi had the Ma gician's little green magic book which he had dropped when our friends sprang out and captured him.
 Ii was very fine book Of magic and told how to perform a whole Iot Of very magical things. but fl was not as good as the large red book Of magic which ihs mean old Magician had at home.
 RaEeedy Ana knew this and that vas why she was rery anxious for everyone to hurry as fast as they coBld and try and capture the Ma gician before he reached home. '1f he gets there before ue do" Raggedy Ann said. He vfIl get his large red magic book and there fs no telling what be will do 10 us.
