Chapter B IN THE CIRCLE OF LIGHT

My heart had turned cold at the gravity of Flique's tone. As my eyes met his the substance of his thought flashed upon me.
 "You are thinking of le Balafre and Becl" I calculated. They are here-they may have hold of Caroline-is that what you mean?"
 My friend, know those little ones," he said gently Did l not tell you that the agony of their hatred would drive them here. Lib erty to them is a mockery if they cannot first burn the iron of their hatred into the body of Jules La cote. know le Balafre and Ciceron Bee"
 Are they here-on the island?' I cried. DO you know they are here?"
 i"I shall tell you something" he said. "A letter from the French consul at Los Angeles was brought me this afternoon. It told me that le Balafre and Ciceron Bee were as far north as Ensenada four days ago"
 That would be last Wednesday! Samuels calculated. "Ensenada is not more than 150 miles south of here. They'd do it in six hours in fast boat.
 ~They had fast boat, monsieur, Flique continued grimly. Does not the consul inform me that launch, a fast one, was stolen in the har- bor of Ensenada that Wednesday night? Two raScals beat the owner, carried him off to sea and put him out in an open boat. He should have died, but he did not. Yester- day he is discovered and today he is able to speak and to describe one of these rascalS. MeSsieurs, it IS le Balafre, The Scared One"
 Flique could not resist the temp tation to pronounce that sinister name with a flourish. The room became quiet. Horror began to drill at my heart.
 Tt can't be that" I groaned "Why should they take Caroline? Lacote is dead. They could have no reason for coming back"
 He suddenly grabbed me by the shoulder. Come, we shall find her around the corner, sound and safe, I do not doubt. You ask me what I knew and I have told you. But we waste time!"
 was not treasured, but the briskness of his tone helped.

 "Well all work over to the other side of the island, then back. There is an abandoned village over there somewhere don't forget. Cover every foot of ground. Use your brains Ii you meet those birds le Balafre ano Rec. Better take what guns you can find"

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
As We Face the Future.

But go thou thy way till the end be I:
for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy
lot at the end of the days. Daniel
xii:13.
Daniel has been asking for a little
more light to shine on the dark I'M
known that stretches before him. AL
ready, by the visions recorded in pre-
vious chapters, he had been given partial
insight into the future. But he sought
for clearer knowledge. 20 my Lord,
what shall be the end of these things?"
he asked. His request is negatived He
was told that no further enlightenment
was possible for him. 1.-THE words are
closed up and sealed till the time of
the end" said the angel of revelation.
But go thou thy way till the end be:
for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy
lot at the end of the days" Thus he
is hidden back to the common paths
of life, and is enjoined to leave the I'M
known future to unfold itself as it may.
Whatever might be dark, duty was
clear. Whatever might be problematic,
he could be certain of rest and peace
in the end.
There is lesson here that we would
all do well to lay to heart. The lesson
is this: Do not waste your time peering
into what you can never see, but fill
the present with helpful service. Never
mind what is hidden; the step before
you is clear, and that is all that need
concern you for the moment. Go
thou thy way" Plod along the path
that lies open to you, and be not anx-
ious about the future. Do your duty
today, and leave tomorrow to take care
of itself. Commit your way unto God,
and trust the unknown to Him. Do
this, and whatever the problematical
future may bring into your life, no
matter what disappointments and har-
assments, all will be well at last; "for
thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at
the end of the days"
Just now we are facing new year,
and we are thinking more or less of
what is to be in the future. But our
thinking reveals nothing. We can only
surmise We wish that we could see
more clearly the patch that lies before
us. Two things are clear. Present duty
is clear, and Gods promises are clear.
Let us hold to these two things, as we
| face the future.

Decorative Refreshments
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| give it rose color. Spread on bread,
sprinkle with minced parsley and then
sprinkle with f1nely-chopped maraschino
cherries.
No. 2-Mix minced chicken, turkey or
veal with cranberry sauce and minced
celery. Season to taste.
japanese sandwich filling-Drain the
dressing off one small can of sardineS.
Mince the sardines and add the mashed
yolks of two hard-boiled eggs, one
fourth teaspoon lemon juice, one-half
teaspoon dry mustard. a dash Of cay
enne, one teaspoon table sauce and
mayonnaise to moiSten enough to spread.
How to Letter the Greeting.
All these Filings can be used for the
sandwiches making the greeting assort-
ment. When all are finished, cut strips
of pimento and sweet pepper, or either
one, and form the letters in Happy New
Year." putting one letter on the top of a
sandwich. There will be two sand
witches minus letters. Before serving
the refreshments arrange the sand
witches in row on paper doilieS so that
the greeting is formed Place the two
unlettered sandwiches between words to
separate them. If there are more to
serve than this number will supply, a
second greeting of sandwiches can be
across the other end of the table
With the sandwiches serve an assert
ment of nuts, olives, preserved ginger
root and tiny sweet cucumber pickles.
For the beverage a fruit punch can be
served or mocha-chocolate with whipped
cream. The mocha chocolate is made
by using coffee as well as milk for the
liquid.
Father times cake-Make a round
layer cake frosted with red icing and
as many small chocolate cup cakes with
white icing as will surround the center
cake. Arrange the cakes and then with
chocolate form the numerals of clock
en- the small cakes. From the center
of the top of the layer cake make a
line to the figure IL to indicate clock
hands pointing to midnight of the year
Serve a slice of the layer cake with one
of the round cakes. No numeral should
be so large that it occupies all of the
top of a cake, for there should be space
around each as on the face of a clock
The numerals can be made from tiny
candies instead of the chocolate, or
minced nuts can be used, or slivers of
nut meats pressed into the icing.
With the cake serve ice cream, with
or without a sauce, and have gay red
candies. Just the cake and mocha coffee,
with the candies, make a picturesque
and simple form of refreshments.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
The Right Word.

Nothing Is so important to children
as the right word. Parents often fail
to utter it, teachers often forget to
speak it. The lift the child needed was
not given him at the right moment and
he houndered helplessly because it was
not forthcoming.
None Of us is so wise that the right
word comes each time without hesita-
ton or doubt. If we knew what it was
we would speak it. But we can study a
little and find it oftener.
When you see child struggling
against the domination of another
fighting against jealousy and grudging
help him. Tell him cheerfully how well
he does. Tell him that you feel proud
of him. Few children can equal him
Tell him that as long as he lives he
will meet evil, but that good Is never
failing. If he will just keep right on
doing his work, doing his best to help
wherever possible, whoever possible
without pride and without self seeking
he will come out all right.
Teach children to be friendly. Teach
them that grudges, paying back, be-
lifting another's success Is poor sports
manship. To win is fine, but the man.
ner of winning must be finer II the
victory Is to stand. No victory helps
ones cause unless 1t Is Endorsed by the
opinion of the group, which Is faireI
than one might suppose.
Friendliness that extends to all who
come within its radiance is security
for happiness. 1t is well worth having
upon a fair price and boys and girls
R1fv oh
sense just and kindly spirit instantly
and rally to it.
Children have their own troubles
They suffer as keenly under their bur-
dens as grown people do under theirs
When they look downhearted say the
right word to comfort them. Praise
them. Direct them in such way as tc
lead them to find rift in their over
cast sky.
Never emphasize their misfortunes
No good comes of telling and retelline
a tale of woe. The best way to kill a
grievance is to write it out, talk it out
to some friend and then forget It,. Once
the child has unburdened himself try
to ease his mind without telling him he
is grievously hurt and to be pitied
Show him the way out If you can
Search back in your childhood for an
occasion like this and tell the child the
story SO that he may know himself q
part of the great scheme in which none
escapes his burden, and none Is wholly
| without Joy.
Try to find a story Of your own that
| will make him laugh. Tell him the
truth about your own struggles. Some
parents and teachers try to make the
children believe that they never had a
childhood, never loved to run free, to
laugh, to shout, to idle and dream
They hide their childhood experiences
instead of calling on them for the right
! word in time of need.
The right word is always tinged with
| tolerance, kindness, understanding and
truth. There are times when it is hard
enough to find, but we might find II
| oftener If we tried harder.

WINTER
BY d. C. PEATTIE.

Next to Springtime, the real season
for walks about Washington is, it al
ways seems to me, these weeks OF
Winter. We call it the dead of Winter,
yet is it in reality so dead? A few of
the animals hibernate-the quadrupeds,
that is-but most of them do not, and
never are squirrels so easily seen as In
the leafleSs branches. Master cotton
tail may be scared up in any thicket
at this season, and if you are very lucky
you may see the tracks of a fox, though
sly Reynard you will Certainly not see.
But weasels are much easier to spot in
Winter. For one thing, hunger drives
them to the poultry yard. For another,
the weasel in this climate does not take
on the white, ermine-like fur that he
does in regions of heavy snow, so that,
when it does snow. the wicked little
rascal is as easily seen in the landscape
as If he were a sable seal. The raccoon,
that robb-r with a black mask over his
eyes, is not so rare as we think him,
but opossums and skunks, to be sure,
are in Winter quarters.
The real JOY of a Winter walk con-
sistS in the fact that only one factor
of discomfort has to be considered
the cold. If your socks are wool and
your sho,s are high, your ears and
throat covered, and your hands, the
rest OF your costume matters lIttle-1n
snow, sleet, wind or balmy interlude
do, however, suggest that most sweaters
are poor protection against an icy wind.
Sweat:rS seem warm enough at the
start but the weave Is generally too
loose for practically. A short WOOL
lined leather coat is the ideal Winter
costume. If, then, you are warm enough,
you have nothing else to worry about.
Mosquitoes, chiggers, sunstroke, are all
out of the picture, and SO, too, are those
joykilling packs of a thousand kettles
and pans and blankets that some mixers
load themselves down with. Your ex-
cursion will not include camping out, in
this weather, imagine, so you must
plan to be home by bedtime, or rely on
the hospitality of country inns.
Alas, We are but poorly provided with
that delectable old commodity in these
days. Inns are few and far between,
though both Maryland and Virginia are
better equipped with them than most
States. Frederick and Fredericksburg,
both had delightful hostelrieS in days
gone by, and, while do not doubt you
could stay in those historic towns in
modern comfort still, an intimate, cozy
flavor has vanished, and the Winter
hiker, whether he would a-birding go,
or seek the tracks of the four-footed
citizens, or walk for the sheer pleasure
of walking, will have to see his hotel
accommodations through his nose
glasses.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Doubtless have remarked before
that when attention is focused upon a
certain article of food mothers become
inlbued with the idea that this alone
is important to the diet The excel
lence of vegetables, and their early in
clusion in the baby's diet, give rise to
the assumption that only vegetables
are important, and that If a child eats
plenty of vegetables, little else matters.
OF course, this is wrong. Vegetables
are an important part Of the diet, but
still only part of it. They contain
important vitaminS, but not very much
nourishment.H They contain lots of in
digestible cellulose which contributes
bulk to the diet and stimulates good
elimination. They lend variety to the
diet. They are alkaline in their re-
action and are vastly necessary in the
prevention Of acidity.
Our leaf1et, AN Explanation of
Galleries, Vitamins and Food Elements, :"
will clear up some of these points for
mothers. Simply send a self addressed,
stamped envelope with your request
for it to this department.
Mrs. L. S. has this exaggerated idea
that vegetables are the only food i'm
portant to good health. MY son is 4
years old and weighs 35 pounds" she
says. 'He has good habits, rises at
1880 and goes to bed at 1880. Plays
outdoors most of the day in all wealth
ers. Has never been sick except a few
colds. He will not eat vegetables, and
potatoes, peas, celery and lettuce, no
matter how I disguise them. This
worries Inc, as know vegetables are
the only things to keep one healthy
and in good condition.
He has two teaspoonfuls Of cod liver
oil and three cupfuls of cocoa daily,
and will eat meat in any form. How
can I convince him he must eat Yege-
tables?"
His unconscious selection of vege-
tables is good one. Celery does not
have vitamin A, as you stated, but let
tuce has the A, B and G vitaminS. Give
him the three he likes in some form
daily. incidentally, here are the vege-
tables which contain all three vita
minis: Lettuce, tomatoes, potatoes,
fresh peas, string beans, dandelion
green's, spinach and cabbage, He has
three of them in his diet.
Another leaflet. Introducing Vege-
tables Into the Childs Diet" will also
be helpful to you. II he plays outdoors
all day and has good diet, he does
not need cod liver oil at this age. and
without 1t his appetite for some Of the
vegetables might be spurred. It is
worth q trial at any rate. Too often
interest in vegetables is killed by the
mothers insistence ON how good they
are for child. II no pressure were
brought to bear on him and vegetables
were served at the table and obviously
enjoyed by the adults, his interest might
be kindled.

Our Longer Hair.

Our longer hair is a great problem.
1t grows so slowly, and yet, when you
go two or three weeks beyond the time
when you would normally have it cut
it tlckles your neck, looks odd from
under your hat and looks very badly
when you comb and dress 1t.
The best solution is to keep it waved
An iron wave is not good for the hair
if done too often: it dries the hair and
makes it split and break. But you can
keep the ends of the hair turned I'M
der. using a hot iron daily If necessary
and as the ends are cut off now and
then, anyway, no harm is done if they
do crack and split a little.
Turning the ends under takes up a
couple of inches of hair. Another inch,
or even two inches, is taken up by wav-
ing the rest of it. But avoid the iron
wave if you can; when your hair is
washed, before it is dried, comb it into
waves. put a tight cap-shaped net over
it, and let it dry that way. OF course,
drying wet hair takes long time. But
if you do not have it done in a shop
with regular driers, perhaps you can
afford one of those little hand cleo
trio dryers, or perhaps you can even
tuck yourself up for a read, or some
mending, on a stool before an open
fire. Or sit before a radiator, or bend
over the heat of the pipeless furnace
if you happen to have one. Anyway
get your head into a draught of hot
air After the worst of the wet has
dried out, you can go around the house
Gf your house is warm) and do your
usual work, keeping the net in place
Take it off when the hair is quite dry
and do not comb out until you must.
The wave will stay in week with even
stubbornly straight hair If dried this
way
Waved hair can be worn quite long
around the face and will be becoming
Straight hair has to end at about the
tip of the ears, or 1t gives one hang

Give the Victim a Drink.

In romantic fiction the one who gets
beaned or otherwise momentarily sub
dued is generally restored at the
authors convenience by means of a
drink of something from a flask. In
deed it is only in imaginary stories that
alcohol serves as Stimulant or a
restorative.
When anybody faints, or collapses
from heart failure, or suffers shock
from an injury or a great fright, or
falls unconscious from some unknown
cause, or Is overcome by gas or smoke
or heat or sheer physical exhaustion
(as in a marathon race, one of the
first measures of relief the bystander
instinctively thinks of is to give the
victim drink.
This is all very we'll If it is a drink
Of water. 1t is a mistake to offer the
victim any alcoholic liquor. In almost
any instance of loss of consciousness or
great depression it is all right to give
such real stimulants as coffee, tea, or
aromatic spirits of ammonia, except in
