Just as soon as Chatterer the Red Squirrel left the stump where he had found Whitefoot the Wood- mouse living, and from which he had driven Whitefoot, the latter re- turned. The Black Shadows were creeping through the Green Forest and Whitefoot knew that Chatterer would not return that day. He knew that Chatterer does not want to be out after dark. But Whitefoot him. self likes the dark. He feels safer then. He knows that there is noth- ing. not the least, teeniest- weeniest thing. about darkness itself to be afraid of. He knows that in darkness there are fewer eyes to see him. So Whitefoot Is always glad when the Black Shadows come.
 Tt will be just like Chatterer to come back here tomorrow to see if am here." said Whitefoot to himself as he ate his supper of pine seeds. ''He just loves to make trouble for other people. He couldn't possibly pass up such a chance as this. No, sir. he couldn't pass up such 8 chance as this. As surely as jolly, round, red MT. Sun will go climbing up in the blue, blue sky tomorrow morning. Chatterer will come over hero some time during the day. He says these seeds are his. Perhaps

Your Health How to Keep It. > Causes of Illness
BY DIR, MORRIS FTSHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine

The washing of clothes in a crowded home, a modern apartment house, or kitchenet inevitably creates sanitary problems of importance. A kitchen is place for the preparation of food. Regardless of any sanitary questions. it is distasteful to think of the wash ing of soiled clothes in a kitchen when steam from the tubs, the boilers and the chemicals used mingles with the foods that may be prepared.
 Avoiding Infection
 The ordinary family wash car rles little danger of infection to the laundry worker, but freshly soiled handkerchiefs, or under clothing should be boiled sepa- rately before being put with the rest of the clothes.
 Most germs are readily killed by exposure to heat or sunlight. Moreover soap, washing soda, borax and ammonia have the power of killing germs in various strengths.
 In the case of persons with seri- ous contagious diseases, the soiled clothes should be kept separately and all linen thoroughly boiled before being allowed to como in contact with clothing worn by others.
 Public Laundries
 The development of kitchenet and apartment houses has also brought about the development of commer- cial laundres which undertake the washing of all of the clothing as well as of stiff shirts. collars and special materials to which they were for merly limited.
 Tn the modern commercial laun- dry the clothing for each family is sorted and kept separately so that there Is little danger of con- tamination of tho laundry of one family by the materials from that | of another.
 The development of modern laundry machinery has led, in practically all communities of any size, to the gradual disappearance of tho home AuodrssS and has

Menus for tie Family
(By Sister Mary>

(By Sister MaryJ
 Breakfast-California grapes or bottled grape juice. whole wheat cooked cereal, thin cream, egg and tomato toast. crisp rye toast, milk, coffee.
 Luncheon - Bisque of salmon croutons. spinnach loaf with pickled beets, spice cake, milk tea.
 Dinner-Roast beef with York shire pudding. Drowned potatoes, brussels sprouts in Hollandaise sauce. canned pear and cream cheese salad, banana sponge, graham rolls, milk, coffee.
 If brussels sprouts are not procur- able boiled diced turnips served in a cream sauce made piquant with lemon juice will provide an appetiz- ing and attractive substitute. A ju- dicious change in vegetables often makes 1t possible to practice econ- omy without "unbalancing" the menu.
 Bisque of Salmon
 One large can of salmon, table spoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, tablespoon minced parsley. 1 tea spoon salt, 1-S teaspoon pepper, 1-2 teaspoon paprika, 1 cup milk. l cup cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
 Remove skin and bones from salmon and force through a coarse colander. Add cup cold water and lemon juice and let stand while pre- paring bisque. Melt butter without bubbling. Stir in flour, salt, parsley, pepper and paprika and when per fectly blended add milk and cream, Bring to the boiling point stirring constantly. Add prepared fish, with out draining, and brings again to the boiling point. If too thick add hot water to make the right creaminess and if too thin stir in some fine sifted cracker or bread crumbs.
 Serve in puree cups. If all milk is used in making, a spoonful of whipped cream may top each cup.

 The telephone punctuated her de- cisive little sentence, and she went swiftly toward 1t.

 That her guess was correct I gleaned from the short, crisp ques- tions she put as to the time of leav- ing. Then she hung up the receiver and looked at her watch.

Watchers Poisc to Spring Upon the
 Mysterious Mrs. Baker
 T got in touch with one of the most capable little sleuths who ever helped me on a case" Lillian said as she went on with her story of her attempts to prove her theory that Mary was the mysterious masked dancer of the night club. He work ed on the thing with me today and tonight with the results that we had these facts fully established:
 Every detail of the masked dan- cer's appearance tallies with Mary's.
 Jack Leslie brings her to the club each night in a taxi at an hour which would give her just about time for the journey from this build ing If she were masquerading as Mrs. Baker, as I thought The re- turn Journey fits in with Mrs. Bakers time of coming back.

But l was so sure of it that I sta- tioned my helper at the club tonight with instructions to telephone me as soon as the masked dancer made her appearance. You heard my end of the conversation, so you don't need me to tell you that he estab- lished her arrival there few min utes after midnight. He said 1t was undoubtedly the same girl who had been appearing each night, and I accordingly rushed upstairs with you.

you want to go. why can't you do this?"
 And Robbie listened breathless- ly, as she unfolded a scheme.
 That night after supper Robbie went into the living room where her father was smoking and read ing his paper.
 He laid the paper down when she came into the lamplit room.
 50 you're not going with Mrs. Burrage after all," he remarked drily, flicking some gray ash from the knee of his trouser. Well, l must say I'm glad to hear 1t. There's only one place for young women, and that place is at home. They shouldn't be Hitting around the world. It's no place for them" /"
 "1s that so?" asked Robbie. However, you may be interested to know that I AM going to Holly wood, after all. I'm going all by myself"
 The silence III tne room was llke the stiffness before deafening clap of thunder.
 What for?" MT. Ransom asked. in a terrible voice.
 Robbie raised her straight black eyebrows-the eyebrows that were so startlingly lovely under her gold-colored hair.
 Haven't I told you about a thousand times that I'm going to get into the movies, if ] have to move heaven and earth to do it?" she asked patiently. And that's why I'm going to Hollywood-to get into the movies"
 Mir. Ransom chewed viciously on his cigar. He spat out some of

 Now Whitefot hadn't wasted his time since he had come into the old stump to live. No. indeed, he hadn't wasted his time. He knew all about that old stump and everything around it. He knew that a certain root of that old stump was hollow for nearly its whole length. He knew that the entrance to that hol, low root was 50 small that 1t wa. a tight squeeze for him to gel through and was altogether tt small for Chatterer to get through Also, that the entrance was we'll hid. 1 den.
 | Now there isn't a lazy bone in Whitefoot the Woodmouse when there Is any reason for him to keep busy. He promptly went to work with all his might, carrying those seeds down into that hollow and storing them away. Once in a while he would stop and rest for a minute or two. Then he would go to work again. But the time jolly round Mir. Sun started his daily climb up in the blue, blue sky, there wasn't a pine seed left in the old storeroom in that stump. No sir, not one seed was left. They were all stored away in that hollow root. Whitefoot was tired, but he was very happy also. He washed his face and hands, for Whitefoot is very neat. You know, his hands are white and he has to wash them often to keep them clean. Then he left the old stump and skipped across the snow to a little round hole which led down through the snow to a certain hollow log buried under the snow. Down this he disappeared. He was going to take nap.
 After he had had good nap, Whitefoot climbed out and sat e.
 
 branch where he couldn't be seen, but where he could peep out and watch that old stump. He hadn't been there long when he saw Chat terer the Red Squirrel. Strange to say, Chatterer was making no noise. Chatterer was planning to take him by surprise if he should be in that old stump. He watched Chatterer pop in.
 In just about one-half a minute Chatterer was making noise enough to make up for all his silence. My, my, my, my, how his tongue was flying! He knew what 1t meant. He knew that Chatterer had discovered ed that all those pine seeds had disap- peared. In a moment Chatterer ap- peared on the top of the old stump. He was so angry that he fairly danced up and down. He ierked his tail until Whitefoots own tail ached in sympathy; and all the time his tongue was flying, as he called Whitefoot thief and all the bad things he could think of. Chat terer was having a tantrum and 1t wasn't getting him anything. Copyright, 1927, by T. W. Burges)

mild parent. Were talking about YOU, not me! And I say you're NOT going to Hollywood. So that's the end of it. Do you hear me?"
 She just went on looking at him with a faint little smile turning up the ends of her mouth and twinkling far back in her eyes.
 You seem to forget that I'm twenty-five years old, and per fectly free agent" she said calmly to him. ''So don't raise your voice and tell me what I'm going to do and what I'm not going to do! Because I'm going to do what want to do from now on. For years I've done what you and Aunt Ger trude have wanted me to do-and I'm through now. think I've grown up at last"
 There was another silence. Then MT. Ransom asked: Where did you get the money7 From Andy Jerrold?"
 Robbie shook her head. But she did not answer.
 '1'll tell you where she got it." Aunt Gertrude's voice came from the doorway that led to the hall. "She got 1t from the lady you're going to put in poor Elsie's place. That's where she got it!"
 Poor Elsie," was the way in which Aunt Gertrude always spoke of Boobies dead mother.

1 thing but Hollywood. So there's no use in our quarreling and argu- | ing any more.
 After he was gone. she began to | feel very lonely and blue although | both MT. Ransom and Aunt Ger l trude were at home, and the radio was going.
 On Tuesday Boobies trunks were | all packed-both of them. All of ! her clothes were in them except the things she would need on the trip and a green afternoon dress.
 She was going to wear the green dress the next day. when Aunt Gertrude was having a tea for her. A tea when all the ladies of the church and all the teachers from Locust street school-all who were back from their summer holiday could come to bid her farewell. "I begin to feel very trembly and funny about going. now that the time is coming to an end," she said to Aunt Gertrude. on Tuesday morning.
 They were together in her room, putting some finishing touches to the luggage.
 "Well, it's too late to change your mind now" Aunt Gertrude answered briskly. She had been making her plans for her secretar- ial course and she didn't want any, thing to upset them now. You've got to go now whether you want to or not"
 T do want to go but-isn't that the telephone ringing?" Robbie looked up from one of her trunks.
 They listened. Yes, 1t was the phone. It rang again, and Aunt Gertrude went heavily down the stairs to answer 1t. It was fully five minutes before she came back. and her face wore queer expression. Well, of all things!" He voice was thin thread of sound. well, of all queer things-just when we were talking about it, too! Mrs. Burrage isn't going to Hollywood after all!"
 1 Robbie blinked up at her without a word. She wondered if she had ! really heard what she thought she had heard Aunt Gertrude say. Mrs. Burrage not going to Holly wood! She couldn't believe her ears!
