Loves Awakening
Madge presides a, a Council Of Var called to project Mary
from the pIofers.
BY Adele Garrison

T was fully twenty minutes be-
fore I was able to rejoin the
Underwoods. Mother Graham
suffered a natural reaction Of nerves
when I finally got her into bed after
her fright at the unknown ma
RAIDERS attempt to get into Mary's
room, and 1t required all my ex-
p%erience to get her quieted SO that
was sure she would fall asleep.
When she finally professed herself
ready to let me go, she put out a
thin trembling hand and clutched
mine.
MIR. Underwood is very clever
and kind she faltered, "but he
isn't u own. Promise me that
you"
Her voice died away but / pressed
her hand firmly.
Il promise that no harm shall
come to Mary" / said. with the
sensation OF making a vow and her
hand relaxed.
Il can sleep now" she said. and I
stopped and kissed her with q con
striction in my throat at her trust in
me, her inclusion of me as ''our
own" Not always had my mother
in-law thus regarded me.
Lillian was alone in Mary's room
when l went back, and something
tense in her attitude told me that
she was and alarmed, al
though her face was composed. and
her voice even nonchalant.
Harry has gone outdoors to see
what traces ne can discover" she
said. He went directly after you
left, SO he ought to be back any
minute"
But the minutes heightened into
another quarter OF an hour before
Mr.. Underwood appeared. 1t was a
tribute TO his powers of moving
noisele~-iy that we heard no sound
OF closing doors, or even Of his foot
steps until he was at the door.
Lillian remained almost motionless
as he came in, but her eyes were
suddenly starry with relieved glad
ness, and I realized that she had
been numb with terror for him dur
ing his absence.
Terrifying Memories.
THE fellow came in through that
wood road which leads to the shack
where me and me accompIice' hung
out last Spring Mr.. Underwood
said, and I felt suddenly cold at his
reference to that time Of sinister
menace. that international plot
against governments which had in
volved the Princess Dina and nearly
ended Mr.. U~nderwood's adventurous
career. i've had Jim out and we've
traced his footprints-gee!-if this
keeps UP, I'm going TO hire out as a
movie sleuth!' He wiped his fore
head with a m~elodramatic flourish

a cowpuncher. You could do
that, you're an exceptionally
good rider on the polo field,
you're in good condition, let 'em
laugh at you if they will, let
them call you a 'tenderfoot' and
a 'dude'-oh, yes, they still use
those old-fashioned words out in
the real West-you do your own
riding and keep your mouth shut
and learn what it is to live like
a real man in a real mans world.
Forget your clubs and the smart
dinners that nearly bored you to
death. Learn the feel Of the
wind at sunrise and the look Of
the stars after the moon has
gone down.
Learn to be hungry, thirsty
and tired, learn to forget that
you had a rich grandfather and
a grandmother who was at the
head Of the social world in your
own town. They're buried now,
let them stay buried, do come up
out Of the graveyard and be a
live man in a live mans world,
and some day you'll come back
and paint real pictures that real
men will recognize"
Poor fellow, he had no one to
talk to him like that, and so, be-
cause he thought the little gold
fish bowl world he lived in was
the only one-and he could not
bear it-he died by his own
hand.
Get out, get free, throw off
the shackles of convention, for
get al the old family stories,
throw tradition into the ash
heap, stand on your own feet,
make your own life-that's what
I'd say to any young man who
came to me with such a story as
this young man must have told
someone-before he died.

3 word for spinach, although 1t
is one Of our best friends
among foods. Doctors and dietitians
have persuaded us that spinach is
as necessary in the diet as orange
juice; nevertheless, it is unpopular.
and most children have to be bribed
to eat it.
What's the objection to spinach?
Some people do not like its vague,
metallic flavor; others call it "sosgy
leaves" and even the homemaker
who persistently cooks it because it's
good for the family. complains a lit
tie about the job Of cleaning such
an obstinately sandy vegetable. Still,
all Of these criticisms can be over-
come by simple methods OF handling
spinach-which is lucky, because it
is one Of the foods that is nowadays
almost compulsory. Here are a few
suggestions which may help to win
the family to eating spinach with
pleasure.
First, a hint to the cook. Spinach
does need very thorough cleaning
because it Is naturally a sandy vege-
table. and a speck OF sand in the
cooked dish certainly annoys. How
ever. washing it in this fashion viii

Don't try to wash spinach in a
little 1saucepan. Use a container SO
large that II will hold gallons Of
water. 1t really pays to keep on
hand a huge bucket just for the pur-
pose of cleaning vegetables-it will
save time, trouble and your hands.
Throw the spinach into several gal
Ions Of cold water and let it soak

DR., NEWELL HILLS,
GREAT PREACHER IN
BROOKLYN, IS DEAD
Henry Ward 6eecher and e..
Lyman Abbott Successor
Served Church IS Years

Bronxville. N. Y, Feb. 26-(AP)
DIR. Newell Dwight Hills, the third
great preacher of Plymouth Congre-
gational church Of Brooklyn, success
sor to Henry Ward Beecher and DR..
Lyman Abbott, died yesterday after
a long illness. He was II years old.
At the time of his death he held
the title pastor emeritus, conferred
upon him after his resignation of the
pastorate in 1924. He had been pas
tor Is years.
Assuming the pastorate Of the
Plymouth Congregational Church,
Brooklyn, before he was 40 years
old, the Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills devoted his life much the same
as did his two predecessors, DIR. Hen
ry Ward Beecher and DR.. Lyman
Abbott, dividing his time between
his church duties and literature.
Henry Ward Beecher, one of the
most widely known preachers of the
country, became pastor of the church
upon it's organization in 1847 and
served it until his death in 1887, q
period of 40 years. During that time
his sermons and writings attracted
attention not only to himself but to
his church, which became one of the
most famous in the country. DR.. Abb
bott, the second pastor, served from
1883 to 1899, a period of IL years,
and he WAS succeeded by DR.. Hills,
the service of the three men in
Plymouth church aggrcgating more
than three-quarters of century.
Was War Patriot
| DR.. Hills took an active interest
in patriotic work especially after
America entered the World war.
When the late President Theodore
Roosevelt was cndcavoring to get
permission to take a division to
France he selected DR.. Hills to 60
with him as divisional chaplain, a
commission that DR.. Hills greatly
desired to accept. The clergyman de-
livered many sermons and addresses
in which he scathingly denounced
the Germans for their alleged atroc-
tiles and brutality. In order to get
first-hand information he went to
France in September, 1917, and made
a trip over the ground that the Ger
