Various Excellent Uses
for Cooked Rabbit Meat

Cold cooked rabbit may be ground
up and used Just as chicken or other
cooked meat Is used for hash, cro-
quotes, shepherds pie, OF similar
dishes, points out the United States
Department Of Agriculture. Meat loaf
or meat balls may be made Of raw
chopped rabbit meat In the same way
as beef or veal. Sausage cakes may
be made from twics-ground rabbit
meat with any preferred seasoning. II
pork flavor Is desired one part fat
pork may be mixed with two parts
ground rabbit meat. Very good saul
sage flavor will result from mixing the
following proportions: three pounds
Underground rabbit meat, one minced
onion (Which may be omitted), n

Lettuce Is Fauorite of
All Salad Vegetables

Many home makers think that a salad
without lettuce Is as impossible as an
omelet without eggs. Though strictly
speaking a stalk Of celery or a radish
eaten with salt is a salad, lettuce Is
the prime faverite Of all salad vege-
tables. 1t Is also one Of the green-leaf
group that contains vitamines and
minerals. Like the others 1t supplies
bulk too and so helps to keep the food
moving through the digestive tract in
a healthy way. Lettuce by itself Is so
mild in flavor that 1t needs a we'll
seasoned dressing. Adding a little
roquefort cheese to French dressing or
grating a little American cheese over
the top after French or mayonnaise
dressing has been added Is IN easy
way of giving appetizing favor to a
plain lettuce salad.

When a waxed floor becomes dull and
grimy it should be given a more thor
ough cleaning with a cloth wrung out
of warm soap water, or better still
moistened with turpentine or gaso-
line. Both turpentine and gasoline
are very inflammable, however, and
should not be used In a room where
there is an open fame Of any kind.
After the waxed floor Is cleaned, rub
on a new thin coating Of wax and
polish with a weighted brush or a
wooden cloth.
Oiled floors should be swept with
q soft brush and busted with an oiled
cloth or mop. They may be cleaned
occasionally with a cloth wrung out
Of warm soapy water and then pol
ished with a cloth moistened with
kerosene or a good floor oil. Excess
Of oil should be avoided. Water and
soap should be used very %sparingly
on oiled floors. Similar treatment Is
used for painted floors.

he was always able to ummon.
Christie listened with reluctance. But
as her caller was at no loss for
words, he was soon heard by her
father, who, raising his voice, called
him, v e Christie's protest, into the
tent.
Here's the man." he said, "that
can give us the help we need,
Christie, II you'll treat him In the
way you'd ought to.
Christie burst into tears. The OBJ
legation Of secrecy was on her-she
thought she knew why, now; but she
would not resist the satisfaction of
a covert threat. "If Mr.. Starbuck
won't help u.s." she exclaimed, I'VE

She was sorry the instant she had
spoken, but 1t was too late to recall
her words.
Anybody that goes near the store
without me-" Starbuck said calmly,

he added, looking first at Christie and
then at her father, don't make any
mistake like that"
He marched with dignity out Of the
tent. Fyler kept up a weak fire of
reproach. Christie was used to such
things on more subjects than one,
and only continued to listen silently.
What thoughts were in her mind, hse
father, least Of all, could have sur
missed. She gave him some refresh
ment presently, and he fell into an
uneasy sleep. That moment seemed
to rouse her from her apathy and sig
nalize her resolve.
She rose cautiously but hurriedly,
caught up a shawl that lay across her
cot, opened her little trunk, and
stealthily drew out a scarf.
Pausing, and looking at her father
only long enough to be sure he slept,
she carefully lowered the wick Of the
lantern, blew out the light, and
stepped with as little noise as posi-
BILE to the tent door. Wrapping her

scarf about her head and neck, she
pushed open the fly and stood alone
out in the moonlight.
Once started, Christie did not hest
tate. She walked swiftly along the
street, hardly knowing which way to
look In her quest, but determined to
follow It. The only place where she
hoped she might make a successful
inquiry was at the big barn; and to-
ward this she directed her steps.
She was being trailed, though she
did not realize it. Believing herself
unobserved and unseen, she pursued
her course, and 1t was only when
