The clickity-click of her high
heels along the flagstone would
beat a quick tattoo, then go 80
slow that they made no noise
at all, as though they were
quickening and slowing up with
her own thoughts, keeping
tempo with them.
The Dcane house, set so far
back among the trees. looked
grim and forbidding. and in 1t.
in the masters bedroom, Mont
aomery Deane lay dying.
The curtains were drawn. There
wasn't even peep OF light
through any OF the windows, but
there were lights both at the
fl ont door and at the porte
cochere.
THE command is forward.
How long it took for the maid
TO appear. In the interval a llgnt
came on in the reception room
and Nancy could look through
the plate glass of the heavy
doors. Her courage began falter'
ing again. Forward, forward, for
ward!
Had she done the right thing?
She remembered calling a taxi
and telling the driver to take
her to the Deane home.
Eyes, lady," he had said, not
even asking the number. He
seemed to know the house as he
might the Northwestern depot or
the Wells building. And when he
had stopped she had crammed
bill into his hand and run stumb-
ling down the avenue, away from
the house.
The driver must have thought
she was crazy. She was crazy
then. She thought that she must
fly from the dark house, that she
couldn't go in, but sne was calmer
now.
The maid was coming down the
broad stairs. wondering who could
be at the door this time of night.

work for Mrs. Deane," Nancy ex.
planned. II have something ter.

Ginger's scornful name for him
echoed through her brain.
The bell rang again; Nancy
opened the door to see Maybelle
Montague and a. rather coarse
looking man at her side.
"Lo Nancy" chirped Maybelle.
This is Mr.. Dugan. We've
come to pay a little friendly call.
Where's your boy friend?"
Maybelle walked to a mirror
and nonchalantly began to give
twists and pulls and pats to the
ends of her iron burned blonde
hair that peeked out from be-
meath her hat.
Nancy couldn't believe what
she was hearing. She could feel
herself trembling.

A Good Teacher Stimulates Interest in Learning

my definition of good teacher
is one who stimulates a child's
interest. who inspires a child to
think about subjects he is study
ing. not only while in class
rooms but in his daily life. be-
cause they are exciting and alb
sorbing and real to him-if she
is a good teacher, she will not
only ask him questions but will
welcome his questions. knowing
that questions instead of answers
point toward really sincere de-
sire to find out more about the
subject under discussion.
II, however. your chiId's
teacher impresses you as being
an individual who lacks under
standing, who merely sits at
desk and goes through the neces-
sary forms of assigning lessons
and hearing the results next day.
the job fails even more squarely
on your shoulders-the absorbing
job of showing your child how
to study. how to educate him
self-for. after all. he is the
only person who can do that.
You can, by your example, lead
him more surely toward a sound
education, a continuous education

A tamogs cOOk giOss bis
recipe

A MAN, famous among his friends
for his fine cooking, was asked the
secret Of his delicious boiled ham.
He gave this simple recipe: Put .
cupful Of sugar in the water that
boils an average size ham. Also
one-half cup Of vinegar. Try this
and see how much it improves the
taste and flavor Of the ham.
Every good cook knows that
there IS no substitute for sugar
in improving the enjoyment of
other foods. Whether in prepar-
ing fresh vegetables, fruits or
meats, sugar is the secret of sue
cessful cookery.
Sweetness is natures perfect
flavor. 1t is also the cheapest nu-
triment that you can buy.
Health comes from eating good
foods. favored to please the taste.
Beware Of extreme reducing diets.
They are dangerous. Eminent
medical authorities warn us that
permanent injury often results
from starvation diets.
Be sure that you and your chill

There probably is no town nor

not have an interesting historical
background. There is no need to

tory live for your child by short
trips to spots where real, live men
stood and fought or gave great
messages to the people, or started
on horseback for a thrilling mid
night ride. History can be made

Wherever you live there is some
one phase of pioneering or Indian
lore or war history which can be
made real in your child by a bit
of reading and a trip to the spot.
Teach your child to find the in
teresting things about him. His
tory is only one subject in his
education. Neither you nor his
teacher can teach him everything
about everything. But you can
teach him to educate himself. You
can arouse such an interest in
what is happening. where it is
happening and why, that he will
just have to forge ahead and find
out about it. That is education.
Teach him how to get it and keep
on getting it all through life.
