FROM SALLY ATHER. TON TO RUTH BURKE,
 CONFINED

@ You soc, my dear Mrs. Burke, things are Ht siXcs ana scvens at the office, and l have really two men on my hands who are no good at anything, Mr. Prescott's assistant, who had been with Mr. Hamilton a sIong while, is also not in a position asto think very rationally.
 I won't go into this matter, how ever, because ipis only of Leslie that l want to talk to you. I want you to make Leslie understand that, how ever much I sympathize with her stand, unfortunately one can let ones personal hurt enter into the ar- fairs of q great besinoss.
 Tha huge Hamilton Steel Corpora ton is suffering. II will be only a short while before people will say sthat since Mr. Hamilton is out of it, Fit is deteriorating Then that ter ribie thing which every corporation dreads. the selling price of it's stock will drop.
 No one can hnlp this, Mrs. Burke, nnhl in some way the affairs of John Alden Prescott and his wife are strengthened out
 a ! would write this 10 Leslie my self but I think it would ba better coming from you, Nou haro kDoWn s Hcr very intimately since her mar liage and during that time Leslie and I have grown apart
 I have never coasrd to tbrnk of her, however, asfonr of the sweetest and hest women this side Of Heaven 4 -you know I really owe my present splendid position to her-yot natur- ally our idcas and viewpoints are

Breakfast--Tangerines, crushed oats cooked with chopped figs creamed eggs on toast, graham muf- fins, jelly, milk, coffe.
 l Luncheon-Casserole of vegetables jellied tomato salad, steamed pud- ding, rye bread, milk tea. Dinner-Lamb stew, baked squash, grapefruit and cabbage salad, nutted prune pudding, bran rolls, current jelly, milk, coffee.
 When little bit of this vegetable and a little less of another is left after a meal one usually thinks of salad, but in the winter time a hot dish at noon tastes so much better than a cold one that this casserole of vegetables has strong appeal. If care is taken when cooking the Vegetables in butter that the butter does not turn brown and sizzle a child of four years can partake of the dish.
 | Children under ten years of age should not be allowed to eat the pulp of the grapefruit with the cabbage, but may have the juice sprinkled over the finely shredded cabbage. | There are no other dishes men, toned on the days menu that all members of family who go to the table can not eat.
 Casserole of Vegetables.
 One cup cooked canned peas, 1 cup cooked diced beets, l cup diced cooked carrots. F cup diced celery, l tablespoon minced onion, i small head cauliflower, 4 tablespoons but ter tablespoons flour, salt and pepper, ? tablespoons grated cheese.
 Melt butter in frying pan. Add diced vegetables and shake over a low fire. Simmer, covered, for five minutes. Sift flour over vegetables, and mix well, stirring with a fork Put the cauliflower, which has stood for an hour in cold saIted water, in the center of buttered casserole. Surround with vegetables and add enough boiling water to barely cover. Season with salt and pepper and cook in hot oven for 40 minutes. Remove cover of casserole, sprinkle with grated cheese and return to the oven long enough to melt the cheese.
 Nutted PrIIne Pudding.
 Twenty-four mediums sized prunes, cups cold water. % cup sugar, F teaspoon cinnamon, 1-4 teaspoon cloves, juice. orange, + cup nick orynut meats, eggs (whites). ta- blespoons cornstarch, few grains salt.

powers and when the white dust cloud of his raising had dissipated somewhat, he began to talk toward | her. There was no other word for it. His long and soundless steps were taken with a sinister care, like those of 8 great cat which croucl1es to it's belly and works through the grass. More than once he stopped.
 It was a danger which she could not fail to appreciate, seeing what she had seen in the Purvis corral not long before. Yet 1t was a sweet pleasure to take fire in her hand and watch 1t burn.
 Moreover, greater than her fear was joy in her knowledge of what l passed in the mind of, the brute, She knew it as by revelation. She could guess at the savage hatred of man which was in the stallion; she could guess at it so perfectly that she shook from head to foot with an intense sympathy.
 | Now, towering close before her, his nose came to her hand. There he paused for few long seconds, and Joan began to talk. She had no idea of what she said, but she knew that she must keep on saying something, anything, in a certain voice which she had never used be- fore but which came to her by in spiration.
 New chords In her throat were touched by those low tones. The quality of the speech affected all her body with sort of physical pleasure and sense of power.
 It was affecting the stallion in the same way, she knew, even before he gave sign. But at last one ear prtcked, and the other wavered for ward. He sniffed cautiously at the extended hand-and then she left him. It was very hard to do, but she knew that 1t was wisest to go l away before the great horse should i be wearied by the strain of that De- cuItar war which had been going on l between them. She went back to the side of the stable, sat down on q box, and remained there for a whole long hour with her arms 1 locked around her knees.
 And presently she noticed an odd ly shaped shadow stealing along the ground toward her as the sun sloped west and westward. She looked up, and there stood the Captain watch ing her around the corner of the barn. She arose and went to him, and although he f1inched back, he did not retreat. Not even from her extended hand did he flee, bR let it touch his nose--let it stroke him Jet it wander higher and higher up his head until the slender brown fiugers lay sqnarely between his eyes.
 It was the happiest moment of Joan's life. The touch of that silken coat was more to her than the flow ing Of gold coins through the fingers of miscr.
 It was wise 10 let well enough alone. She knew that the stallion would never forget her. She needed no one to tell her that she had al. ready gained far more impression upon him than ever Lee Haines had done. And now it would be wisdom to go, and so or course, she stayed

Raege1y Ann carrying Nlr. FiAns who had been changed into a mou- key by lIeezy the Witch and Hazel IIagg. and Eaggedy Andy, who had the little red box he had found in Mr, Fixus' cupboard, rode away Through the woods upon the back of tho magical hobby horse. Raggedy Andy had found lit- tic red cap in the red box and as it was a magical cap which made the wearer invisible, he had bnrn able to walk right up to the two witches and crack them a pop with stick right on their long noses,
 And, as the two Witches could not sec who hit them, they both thought the other had struck them upon their noses. So they began fighting caclf other so hard the Raggedys were able to slip out of Mr. FiXus' shop and escape upon the hobby horse.
 They rode a long way before the hobby horse stopped at q spring. And as the spring was a magical spring, they sat down in the soft grass and dipped up the lemonade in little silver cups they found upon nearby bushes.
 Tt was very lucky I found the box of magic things" Raggcdy Andy said For if it had not been for the invisible cap, we womb still be inside Mr. Fixus' shop with the mean old Witches waiting out side to capture us."
 There were number Of queer things in tho red box Ragged dy Andy had so while they sat and drank the ice cold lemonade, Rag gedy Andy started to look through tile box. He had hardly started br- fore out of the bushes rushed Heczy the witch and Hazel Hagg bowling as they came.
 We want Eaegcdy Ann's candy heart because We are sure it is a magic heart"
 But it really is not a magic | heart" Raggedy Ann told the witches as they rushed Up.
 "Ha, You cant fool US that way, RaEgedy Ann" Heezy the Witch hovlcd, How did you make your self invisible if it was not with your candy heart?"
 The two witches by this time had caught Raggedy Ann, but MT. Fixus who had been changed into mon key ran and climbed way up in d 1 tree
 i Then. as the witches paid no at- tention 10 Raggedy Andy he slip ped the magic. invisible cap over his head and walked riglt up neal

dlllorent; mine bcing that oi a wom- an who has mixed with men when their society manners are off and their fighting clothes are on. Here l go rambling on when really ! l intended to write you very short letter merely explaining to you that Nr. Prescott is drinking altogether tCo much. I do not believe that there has been one night since Les lie left for Atlantic City that he has gone to bod sober. This, of course, leaves him the next day very srohchy and unfit for work.
 This frightons me, for all the great trouble of my life has been caused by drink,
 The only person that can straight en him out now is Leslie, for what ever she may think. she is the only woman that John Alden Prescott ITeatly loves. Whether that love will ever make her happy l don't pre- sune to predict but I do predict with what I feel is a great certainty 'iLClt tlAi'tihG CFt ulllltI Id lhES lIllS Tt- sponsbiIity the Hamilton Steel Cor poration will go on the rocks.
 Do you think she will accept it? If she will not she must definitely ! have 1t out with her husband and ItuAe stops with her mother to have somroHe else put in charge of the i business.
 hope, my dear Mrs. Burke, that you will not think l am impertinent but my training has made it impos- sibte 10 sca a great industry ieopar- Gizcd without at least trying in my i weak way to warn those who own it i Of the danger Sincerely.

Taxation in Germany Adds 40 Per
 Cent to Ultimate Cost of vehicles Berlin, Jan. 9.-Berlin now counts 5000 automobiles. This is an in- crease in the city of 20 per cent in six months, and means one care to every 100 inhabitants.
 The country now produces It. tween S0,000 and 10000 cars a year. and an increase of 100 or even 200, per cent is expected by the ra- tional use of existing production fa- cilities.
 A drawback to production is the points of view that the motor car is luxury rather than a etcss.ty, which results iD taxation. on a sin gle car, of about 40 per cent before it reaches the hands of tie ultimate user.

 If the blood is dark, it is from vein, and the bandage should be placed beyond the wodnd from the heart.
 A pressure of the fingers some times will stop the flow, if it is not had, or a piece of ice placed on the wound is effective, she recalled.

FROM the Baltimore sun.
One quiet night. many thousa nds of
years ago. the highest mountain of
the Farce Islands. the Slatteratinden
emerged out of the ocean from the
wall of hills between Scotland and
Ireland
The islands are q rock work on
big scale, - larger and smaller
islands. seeming as if thrown out into
the Atlantic north of Scotland. On
Slatteratinden a lonely. exhausted
wading bird. black and white. with
red neck feather. descended and placed
itself on the point of the summit.
It was the first inhabitant of the
Farce Islands. And therefore it is the
holy bird of the isla Most of the
islands are inhabited.
Should the FaroeS have to supply
themselves with bread-rye and wheat
not existing at all-the 10000 to 90
Ono souls would simply die from star
vation
Their fortune must be looked for on
sea. and the islands are living right
south of the large Icelandic cod fish
cries. There are no ports here. neither
artificial nor natural. while the Farce
Islan have al least three or four
good natural harbors.
The islands lying in the Gulf
Stream, the climate is mild. but very
humid. out of the 365 days. only the
65 are without downpour. mostly rain
in cascades. but the isla nds have also
their Snowstorms in December and

to stage the big procession, with from
