She was accustomed TO walk in lust at

himself with hearing a few words. or
a little laugh, as she spoke TO her
father and walked out again.
But such a moment Selwood thought
worth waiting for He looked forward
TO that moment At night, under the
glare of hot lamps that cost a for

Peanut Sandwiches for
ChiIdren's Lunch Box

Peanuts are a valuable food to use
from time to time in the children's
lunch box. Here is a peanut sand
witch that has all the nutty flavor and
some Of the texture Of the nuts them
selves. Get freshly roasted peanuts
and put them through the food chop
per, using the medium-fine knife. Do
not use the nut knife because it will
grind the peanuts so fine that they
will be pasty when mixed for the sand
wiches. By using the medium-fne
knife there viii be tiny pieces Of the
nuts in the sandwich filling.
Mix the ground nuts with Just
enough cream to moisten them for a
sandwich spread. Add salt to season
the mixture. Graham or whole-wheat
bread Is especially good to use for
these sandwiches. Butter Is not
needed since the peanuts themselves
are rich In IA: and have been mois-
tened with cream. The bureau of
home economics Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture says
that peanuts are also an excellent
protein food. especially when COM
bined with wheat. The protein Of the
wheat and Of the peanuts becomes
complete" or efficient" Such cem-
pIete protein can be used by the body
to special advantage in building and
repairing tissues and for supplying
energy. Therefore a sandwich made
Of wheat bread and peanuts fulfills
the requirement for q complete pro-
TEN food.

stocks to know just what the equities
were, but he knew enough of Haynes
and of Haynes "silent" partner TO
reach without difficulty the conclu-
sion that Christie was to he cheated
whenever feasible.
Bob Scott and Bill Pardaloe had
been detailed by Lefever TO investi
gate the disappearance of the Fyler
shipment of boots. And as their re-
ports began TO come In, It was not
hard for Selwood, who always used
his eyes and ears, to reach the con-
clusion that Haynes merchandise con-
sisted chiefly. If not wholly, Of stolen
goods-and that these were of a much
better quality than FLYERS stock. BY
kicking a packing case here and there
under the counters, Selwood likewise
found reason to believe that some.
at least, of his boots had found their
way TO the auction-and although he
had never seen a pair of boots put up
by Big Haynes while he was present,
he had seen men in the street car
rying boots away from the store.
When Fyler, recovered, came back
to his place, Selwood had told Parda-
loe his suspicious and directed him
what TO do. Pardaloe, who loved
nothing so much as a row, dropped
in at times at the auction. To Big
Haynes he was not a welcome visitor.
Pardaloe would talk as long and as
loud as Haynes himself, and at times
would carry on with bystanders
wrangling arguments that distracted
the crowds attention.
One day Haynes, e1asperated be-
yond endurance, stopped his sale to
demonstrate sharply with the noisy
wagner. This nearly precipitated a
personal encounter, or, rather, 1t
seemed nearly to do so-for Parda-
Ioe's orders were not to fight but TO
seem TO fight-otherwise he would
have eaten Big Haynes alive.
Pardaloe's patience was at length
rewarded by seeing Fyler pass up to
the auctioneer a pair of boots, on
which Pardaloe fixed his beady eyes !;
and, to show that he harbored no re-

sentiment, he promptly bid for them.
Despite spirited opposition he secured
the boots, and in the purchase he
had the opportunity he wanted Sit
ting on the floor, surrounded by the
crowd, he tried the boots on. He
complained to Fyler they did not fit,
and called for more boots to try on.
In this way he got his long nose in
behind and under the counters, and
before he quit, by rowing and quar-
reling over his purchase, secured
pretty fair description Of the boot
stock.
Bob Scott also made progress in
his research. He made friends with a
hostler Of Atkins, and, proving about
in Atkins barn, down by the river,
at opportune times, he found hidden
in a binful Of oats one whole case
Of boots and six barrels filed with
boots. From one of these barrels he
flched sample pair Of boots and
took them TO headquarters for inves-
LEGATION. They matched those Parda-
Ioe had bought at Big Haynes auc-
ton.
The next evening Pardaloe and
Scott were sent to the barn to levy
on the stolen property. Scott, keep
ing a coed fire going in the Office
stove, held the attention of the night
barn-man with Indian scare stories
while Pardaloe, aided by a SeIwood
teamster, dug the boots out of the
oats, loaded the case and the barrels
on a wagon, hauled them to Meal
pins barn, and locked them up in the
harness-room.
Selwood repaired early next morn
ing to the store. Haynes had not
come down. Fyler was alone. Sell
wood waited until Fyler should ask
about the boots. When his impatient
question came, Selwoed was ready.
made his report, and offered to re-
store such of the missing goods as
had not been sold over the counter.
Fyler seemed not altogether
pleased. He was skepticaI concern
ing the reputation that Selwood un-
hesitatingiy gave his auction part
ners.
And Selwood was cruelty blunt.
You may not know 1t, Fyler," he
said composedly, "but you've got a
pair Of crooks in here with you.
Haynes partner is this man At
kins. All Of the stuff that Atkins
supplies for this auction Is stolen
If you don't know ii. you ought to.
Your twelve cases Of boots were
stolen from our warehouse in Medi-
cine Bend by some one Of Atkins
cronies and turned over TO him to get
rid of-this is the way he is doing it."
Fyler was unpleasantly skeptical
"This is all good talk Where's your
proof the boots are coming In here?"
he demanded.
Selwood swung over the counter,
stopped, ripped the cover OF q pack

Curtains for a Boys

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agricultural
A boy likes room of his own where
he can bring other boys if he wishes.
Straight lines, strong colors, durable
materials, and few furnishings are de-
sirable In such a room.
A boy won't want curtains with ruff
f1es, pastel celors, or vague patterns.
He prefers such materials as burlap,
crash, denim, or sateen, in strong
green, brown, blue or orange colors.
These materials can be hung from q
painted pole without a valance. Wig

ChiId's Essenfial Food

A child needs food that supplies
proteins and minerals for building
body tissues, Galleries for energy, and
certain other factors, not yet identi-
fed, which are essential for normal
growth. One Of these Is connected
with proper bone development and, be-
cause it serves to prevent ricketts,, Is
often called the antirachitic factor,
and when given to children 1t helps
them to grow strong normal bones.
Direct sunlight also aids bone growth
In somewhat the same way. For ,hil-
dren who cannot be out Of doors I, the
sunshine great deal, cod-liver oil Is
particularly valuable.

The ability TO make good fudge is

four years Of high school, along with

and other school subjects. A liking

the high school student. A plateful

At fairs and bazaars purchasers can
always be found for homemade fudge
Gift boxes of fudge for birthdays or
unexpected requirements can be pro-
duced on short notice, usually from
materials on hand In the pantry.
Like any other cooked product, good
fudge depends on a good recipe, and
if the results are to be the same each
time, the recipe must be followed &C
curately. The United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture sponsors the fol-
lowing directions fer making fudge.

To vary the recipe, add a cupful of
