 Lunchean-Lentil soup, croutons, cottage cheese sandwiches, French cake, canned pears, milk tea.
 Dinner-Cream of celery soup, escalloped scallops, baked potatoes, beet greens, peach salad. whole wheat bread, lemon sponge, milk, coffee,
 There is no cereal planned for breakfast, the rice and graham muf- fins providing the nutrients found in a dish of cooked wheat cereal. However, more scrambled eggs and rice and mullins must be served than if a cereal were included in the breakfast.
 Be sure the mullins are nice and "crrusty'' and serve plenty of butter with them.
 With the exception of the cake suggested for luncheon which is bit rich for four-year-ods, these small people can partake of the meanus from 'soup to nuts" so to speak.

CHAPTER " Pilgrims of the Night


 The moon had lifted we'll over the trees surrounding the glade where the crow had dropped its slender burden. On leaving the house by the gun-room door, kath- leen and her companion had seen no sign of Sir Dudley Glenister and they had agreed to make for this place of evil omen. There they would be the better able to get their bearings as to the direction whence the predatory bird had flown.
 So they came to the borders of the glade and in eager expectancy peered into the open space. At~any other time they might have been struck by the contrast between the earlier scene the profuse lunch table with its crowd of chattering guests -- and the silent vista of tree-girt, moonlit solitude, carpet ed with moss and ferns.
 "There he is," Kathleen scarcely breathed. clutching Norman's arm. "On that stump to the left"
 Sure enough. on the trunk of an oak that had been felled, man was sitting. @
 He must have heard us follow. ing and is waiting for us to come up," Kathleen added. Shall we show ourselves and openly accuse him. or go back"
 i But Norman was slow to reply.

house party had retired for the night soon after dinner. spending but little time in the drawing-room, where an air of constraint had pre- vailed.
 Kathleen was in no hurry to un- dress. Seating herself in an easy chair, she strove to recall every phase of the myetery surrounding her brothers fate. The process car- ried her back to a. period about a year before the death of Sir Philip Glenister, her father. There had suddenly arisen a violent quarrel between the old baronet and his heir, the cause of which had been carefully concealed from her. George had left the Grange in high dudgeon, taking a tender farewell of his sister, but merely telling her that he was going to the western states of America.
 Six months later she had had a letter from him dated from Lone Wolf City in Montana, informing her that he was well and engaged in prospecting for gold. Kathleen remembered that she had mention ed this letter, and the place whence it was written, to her cousin Dud- 1 ley when he had spent a weekend al Beechwood Grange.
 Shortly afterwards Sir Philip had been stricken with a mortal sick ! ness which killed him in three days, and during which he had been too ill to allude to his son and heir
 By the time the leisurely, old fashioned lawyers had. sent out representative to Montana and pro- cured evidence which after the laws delays established the fact oi George Glenister's death and gave the baronetcy and Beechwooc Grange to Dudley, the latter'' cousinly sympathy had merged into something warmer. He had begged her to suit her own convenience 1T leaving her own home, limiting tha' there was very simple plan bl which she need not leave 1t at all The result had been that with al speed she had put herself undei the protection of her relative.
