FOR KITCHEN
EFFICIENCY

A word of advice to the new
bride regarding the care of
cooking utensils is offered in
the American Home: After a
certain period of usefulness has
passed and they become burned
and broken, do not retire them
to a far corner of the kitchen
shelves but, as a systematic
housewife who keeps only IN
hand those in good working
order, discard the old and
broken utensils, kettles and
odds and ends that are no
longer useful and make space
for the remaining articles,
which in these days of small
kitchens, are all that should be
retained.
These should be kept near
the sink or the range, or wher-
ever they are most needed,
with the knives, spoons, frying
pans, kettles and their covers,
and similar implements where
the cook can reach them easily.
The larger and heavier pieces
should then be placed on lower
shelves, and those that are
only used occasionally on the
shelves that are more difficult
to reach.

CHAPTER II


Down in the prison yard,
Morgan found BUtch-the same
old happy -go-lucky Butch. He
was talking to a group of mis-
cronies. When he saw Morgan
he slowly detached himself
from the others and without
any perceptible show of JOY
walked slowly toward him.
Hello, ladybug, did you fly
away home?" he greeted.
Hello. Butch" Morgan felt
a real affection for Butch. Il
was flied right back again"
They started walking along
through the yard.
"How's all the danes, Morg?
Did you give 'em my what's
iS?"
"Sure-all of them. They
sent their WhoSls."
AS they ambled along, this

gan sensed an undercurrent Of
unrest in the air.
There's something cock
eyed, ButCh-What is it?" he
asked.
Butch indicated the prison
poStern with a slight movement
of his head. Morgan turned
and looked. He saw nothing but
the closed grill and the armed
guard pacing the other side.

On His Guard

At the moment the man
would have punched her ticket
something about Raquel COM
PEELED his attention. Perhaps
it was her intensity. Her con.
centration on what he was to
do. At any rate he glanced
sharply at her face. He hesi-
ated, his hand with the puncher
suspended in midair. Her
beauty was so startling. so strik-
ing in it's vivid contrasts of
black and white and scarlet,
that it penetrated the skin of
this human automaton, hard
ened as he was to the never
ending parade Of strange pass

haughtiness in the demand
brought him to attention.
BEG pardon, Miss" He
squeezed the puncher, and grin,
neQ SQeeplSNly.
Raquel was in the train now,
moving out of the station. The
train gained speed. The town
was thinning, yielding to the
encroachment of open spaces.
I'm free!" Raquers heart
sang.
You're free" the wheels of
the car thundered.
Free! Free!" piped the
whistle.
The remainder of the journey
to New York was to Raquel a
blur. OF faces that came and
went without registering more
than a scratch on her con-
sciousness. Of scudding towns.
Of villages that nestled in hol-
lows or sprawled on plains. Of
the smoke and roar and be-
wildering antics of the giant
city-Chicago.
She ate when it was time to
eat. Slept when it was time
to sleep. Mechanically.
She emerged from he miaSma
into which she had mercifully
fallen when a pop-eyed porter
with itching palm and per-
spring face said to her:
New York baggage, lady!
Baggage. Where do send it?"

Another voice, deep and bel

Chicago ana points East. New

actually in Phoenix! She was
going to Chicago! And from
there she was going to New
York.
Like a scared shadow she fit
ted through the station to the
track indicated by the below
ing announcer. This time she
had armed herself with a ticket.
1t was not good to tempt Fate
too far. She extended the
ticket to the man at the gate.
Her hand must not tremble.

MIXING BOWL
SETS

Mixing bowl sets have more
uses than the average house
wife suspects. This does not
refer to the utilitarian yellow
earthenware bowls of the past,
but to the lovely pottery and
glass creations which are
decorative adjuncts to the mod
ern kitchen.
A nest of bowls will serve
primarily for mixing. Another
use is the holding of leftovers
in the ice box, although there
are special sets of bowls now
designed for this purpose.
The up-to-date mixing bowl
will not blush if used at the
table to hold crisp lettuce
leaves. and may even adorn
the center of your sideboard,
filled with bright blossoms
from the garden.
A set of four decorative
bowls, with flat handles, in
green, blue, or yellow glaze
can be purchased for about
SO. Although they ale not
definitely guaranteed for this
purpose. these bowls may be
used to bake puddings and
savory dishes in the oven.

Raquel begansto suspect Phoe-
nix, Arizona, was somewhere at
the other end of the world.
Had she been on the train
hours or years? The latter
seemed more probable. Her
weary muscles rebelled against
her reluctance to flex them. to
move about and give them
stretching room. Caution told
her such a course would bring
down upon her the unwelcome
attention she had thus far
avoided.
She had decided at length
that even SmirkS and StareS
would be preferable to the
growing discomfort of inactivity
when the conductor briSked in
at the far end of the car and
made a busineSS-like survey of
passengers.
I'VE must be getting into
Phoenix" Raquel concluded.
The conductor fairly reeked of
official capacity. Made a great
show of getting his house in
order. She felt for her roll
of bills, the money loaned to
her by Farrell. They were safe

She fluttered heavy white

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax,
All on Account of Jealousy
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
We have been married six
months now and oh, things
are so wrong, we quarrel ter
ribly. I believe it is all ca
account of jealousy. When
my husband and 1 go out TO-
gether, he doesn't seem to
notice me at all, he just has
a good time with the others
and it hurts me so. 1 love him
so much that I'm jealous and
can't help it. The people we
go with are all Older than we
are-my husband seems to get
a big kick out of going round
with older people.
LONESOME BRIDE.
The time has come, my dear
Lonesome Bride. for you to
take a brace. Try not to be so
jealous, and if you can't help
it, at least learn to conceal
your feelings. People are un-
consciously cruel, sometimes,
and doubtless these older peo-
pie may enjoy making you
jealous. Don't watch your
husband when you are with
other people, try and interest
yourself in some agreeable per
son who is there, and above all,
don't be melancholy around
the house. Try to be lively
and amusing. don't forget
Laugh and the world laughs
with you, weep and you weep
alone"

you an me. His old bean is

Butch paused and looked
around. There he goes now

Joe was double timing toward
the gate. When he reached it,
he raped and the guard halted.
Joe held up bunch of flowers.
The guard took them through
the bars and Joe, smiling and
nodding his head, walked away.
"See?" enthusiastically urged
Butch.
Morgan shook his head. He
could find no significance in
this bit of soft pantomime.
"Y'see," Butch explained.

The conductor whacked the
dust from the ether sleeve.
Changed your mind about
where you was going?" he
asked, with an attempt to be
jocular.
You mean about the end of
the world?" She shared his
mood. Mercy, no. Aren't we
there already We should be-
we're so long on the way"
He regarded her quiZzically.
We've only come as far as
told you. Phoenix" he said.
And added in a tone meant to
be confidential: Are you going
to stay long in Phoenix"
Her eyes caught his. held
them fast. He tried to escape
the gleam through the black
velvet curtains of her eyes. The
gleam of a candle shining
through a dark window in a
house of mystery. Made a man
feel queer as all get out. Funny.

Newington, April 10.-The R. NJ. Burgess Construction Go. of Halt ford, the contracting firm which erected the three fire houses for Newington. has notified the board of fire commissioners that it is now ready to place the permanent floors in houses No. and g. located at Elm Hill and Newington Junction, respectively.
 Owing to the spongy nature of the ground where these two houses were erected it was deemed advIs- abile by the contractor to put III temporary floors until thorough settling had been effected. It is eX- pected that the work will be started the latter part of this week.
 While this work is going on the apparatus at No. fire house will be stationed at headquarters at the center. One of the members of No. company, has volunteered to stay with the apparatus every night un- til the work is completed. When the weather IS favorable in the day tine truck will be stationed in front of its own building. No. 8 apparatus will l be located at the home of William | Holt, captain of this company. The commissioners have made a
