girl with pluck enough to cheek you,
Father, and grab while the grabbing
was good-oh, WE'LL" Marvin drew a
long breath and turned away, his face
suddenly gloomy and sullen, "you
needn't worry! 1 wouldn't marry an
actress, they're too temporary; I'd
prefer a permanent arrangement in
marriage. Let me out, please"
"Marvin!" His fathers tone was
suddenly, gentle. "Give up this fool
| job Of yours and come home! Your
mother is unhappy, having you away.
And-of course want you back, too
Marvin hesitated. II can't turn
down this job until my term of office
is over. And If my living at home
means I've got to sell my manhood
to you, Father"
"I'll not interfere with you"
"Even If decide to marry a county
| teacher?"
1--WE can deal with that contingency
when it comes up"
Gail right, then"
The two men left the schoolhouse
together.
.
Mr. Creighton took st. Croix to task
for his misleading description of the
school TEACHER.
"How you ever got the idea that
she was illiterate, common"
"But she isl"
1--WE can't possibly be talking Of the
same person!"
"The person I'm talking of is Miss
| Schwenckton, the teacher of William
| Penn school, the niece of the farmer,
Sam Schwenckton. / had doughnuts
and coffee with her and Sam
Schwenckton and his wife in their
very own kitchen the night my watch
was taken from me y
II don't understand it at all p COM
I planned his father. Barring the fact
that the girl accepted bride from
me, I'd call her thoroughbred"
The puzzle seemed insolvable.
Meantime, Marvin was feeling by no
means so lenient toward Miss
Schwenckton's accepting that money
from his father as he had pretended.
In spite, however, of the sick recoil
he felt from her for departing with
that five thousand dollars, the sight
of her schoolhouse when he drove past
it, now occupied by her efficient, in
formed and uninteresting successor,
gave him pang that every day grew
sharper; restless longing that was
in danger of increasing to an insa-
table hunger.
st. CroiX, meantime, had just about
reached stage where he was on the
point Of defying prudence and trying
to see Nicely once more; and Marvin
was contemplating the probable folly
and futility of his asking his board for
leave of absence to go to Hollywood,
when cablegram which their mother
received just at this time from Eng
land diverted them somewhat from
their absorption in their own misery.
The cablegram was from Mrs.
Creightons cousin, Sir John st. CroiX.
announcing that his daughter, Baron
ess Sylvia st. Croix, would sail for
America on the Berengaria on Janu-
airy 2 for a short visit to her American
cousins. She could be identified al
the boat by handkerchief tied on
her left wrist.
This news threw the family into
some excitement. st. CroiX volun
tered to go to New York to meet the
ship. He, however, demanded of Mar
win tbot ba 1aoya him n cIaor fold

said Marvin, "that I'll keep out of i
unless-until," he corrected himself
"she turns you down."

with proper seasonings. Here is a
method which will taste nearly as
good as chicken: Select piece from
the loin of about two to three pounds.
Cover with boiling water, using two
quarts; add two stalks of celery, a
small green pepper, half an onion
and one carrot-all cut fine; two
sprigs of parsley, one Glove, one tea
spoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of
peppercorns and simmer slowly for
two hours or, better, three. Add more
salt and cool the meat. Serve 1t
sliced in thin slices.
Mock Chicken saIad.-To one cup
full Of cold diced pork add three
hard-cooked eggs, one-half cupful of
diced celery one-fourth cupful Of
cooked string beans and one teaspoon
full Of minced parsley. Marinate with
French dressing for an hour, drain
and moisten with mayonnaise. Ar
range on platter lined with lettuce.
Garnish with rings of green pepper
and slices Of tomato that have been
marinated in French dressing.
Crown Roast.-Select rack of pork
which is not too heavy and have six
or eight ribs cut from each side. Trim
the ribs as usual, without separating
them; then the two sections are put
together with the ribs outside, skew
cred and tied. Cover the ends of the
ribs with salt pork, dust with salt,
pepper and sage. Roast in hot
oven for two and three-fourths hours,
basting frequently. When done re-
move the pork cubes and cover the
ribs with paper frills. Set on hot
platter and pile the center high with
small cooked apples, cooked in sirup
until tender but unbroken. The APP
pie sirup is cooked down and then
the apples are cooled in it until it
jellies.
Baked Pork chopa.-Dip each chop
in egg and crumbs and brown in hot
fat. Place in hot baking dish, dust
with salt, pepper ard poultry dress
ing. Place on each chop red apple
cored but not peeled and cut into
half crosswise. Pour over the chops
one-half cupful Of boiling water and
set into the oven to bake until tender,
adding more water if needed. Serve
with a sprig of parsley on top of each
apple.
Tomatoes are being recognized as
a vegetable exceedingly valuable to
