 "Of course" added Mir Tolliver mildly. Knowing Speed, and the sort of scrapes he is prone to, suppose we should have suspected that life must be less simple than appeared"
 "Oh, Speed," cried Patty warmly, "my feelings aren't half as much wife and not just your sister,"
 That was the secret we told Gin- ger," said Cotton. Ut was terrible, I know it was. But at the moment 1t seemed a tremendous lark-get- ting married like that-and dash ing off on such strange exotic honeymoon-and none of our rela- tives object. They all knew it was coming. 1t just seemed exciting at the time-rather a joke-and Speed said you were all terribly good sports.
 "But am ashamed, Mrs Tolliver and do hope you will forgive me and not hold it against Speed"
 "Take the names and check up on the marriage" Marker said to Holt. "It won't take long to find out about that, though from what they say of the young man it sounds pretty likely"
 He turned then to Bard. we wired to the references you gave Mrs Tolliver and to the police to check up on the references. An swers all O. K.-Bard Holloway, eh Well do you mind telling me why, if you're as good an artist as everybody seems to think, you're hanging around dump like this all summer?"
 'I'm perfectly willing to tell you or anybody" said Bard, but he toward Ginger's father. ''I'm in love with Ginger. I want to do a lot of portraits so I can get enough money to marry her - and settle down. My impression was that she probably wouldn't object toe strenuously."
 Marker folded up the telegrams and put them in his pocket. Then he squared his shoulders and cleared his throat.
 "All right" he said grimly to the covering Italians. You're next"
 Renito's firm hand propelled the weeping Angelo slowly forward and into the center of the circle. Tn a passionate mixture of ardent Italian and labored English, punc- tuated with valuable sniffles and sobs, little Angelo made it clear that he wished only to be rid of this place and away from these peo- pie for the rest of his life.
 He wished he had never heard of Nicolo Calleno who had in- yeigled him into this predicament, and he wanted of all things to re- tire safely to the security of his mothers ample arms. All his life he had been taught to love God

"Oh, Specd!" cried Phil.
 Mrs Tolliver, let me tell you." he begged contritely. "It was all my fault, She's not my sister. She --sfe is my wife. We were married in New York that day when l stopped over. We have been en- gagged for a long time-and she knew how crazy used to be about Ginger-she was afraid I would get it again if I came out and so we were-married.
 s'she-only intended to come to Chicago and wait for me-but- don't you remember? We were in love-I couldn't bear to leave her II persuaded her to come as my sister,"
 "But Speed, what terrible thing to do! We've would have wanted her as much--loved her as much--as your wife,"
 "But you wanted Speed to help cheer Ginger up," said Cotton. "And he had promised to do you a good turn-he showed me your letter. But 1t didn't seem to me that-that a married man-would be so very cheerful for young girl. So we decided-rot to tell"
 II am always acting lie around you fo1ks,' said Speed regretfully. And yet like you and look up to you niore than anybody I ever met in my life. don't know why I'm always doing such childish things. But every word of this is Gods truth.
 "Cotton used to live in my home town-her uncle has factory there. I've known her for years. You see, we didn't mean to do 1t, Mrs Tolliver. I started in perfectly good faith. And then when we got together-we got to talking about it-and I've been terribly in love with her for years. Honestly, l don't know how it happened. Cot. ton didn't want to and made her"
 
 Phil smiled faintly, but her voice was reproachful. 1T do think it was rather horrid. Speed" she said gently. "You know we are your friends and you could have been quite honest with us. We should

The small pepper grinders are popular in many homes for use on the table as well as in the kitch- en, and of course the proverbial nut meg grater is included in nearly every kitchen equipment
 Spice always must be kept in close ly covered containers. Either buy small quantities at time or put into the regular container only as much as will be used in a few weeks, storing the rest in an alright con-. tainer and removing the supply as needed.
 The following rule for spice cake is given in reply to a request. The, cake makes a delicious dessert to serve alone with coffee for an in formal luncheon.
 Four eggs, 1 1-2 cups brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 2 1-2 cups flour, 1-2 cup butter. l cup sweet milk, 1 teaspoon cinna-l mon, 1-8 teaspoon cloves, l-4 tea- spoon salt.
 Roll sugar on molding board. Cream butter and beat in sugar. Save whites of three eggs for frosting. Beat one whole egg and yolks of three eggs until very light and beat into first mixture. Mix and sift flour, salt, spices and baking powder and add alternately with milk to first mixture. Turn into buttered and fioured dripping pan and bake 30 minutes in moderate oven. Let cool slightly and cover with the fol- lowing frosting.

BEGIN HERE TO-DAY.


 To keep life from growing too dull in Rcd Thrush. Iowa, GINGER ELLA TOLLLvER, daughter of a minister and stcpdaughtcr of the wei.t!ly and fnduIgcnt former PHIL y.iN DOORN, organized a Junior Country club.
 BARD HOLLOWAY, a young ar- tist who was hobOing through the country, stopped in Red Thrush. Att tracted by Ginger, he agreed to stay and paint portraits and decorate the clubhouse. He suggested sending to Chicago for NICOLO CALLENO, who could cook and sing and strum Q guitar.
 But NicoIO could not come. In his place came three of his coun- trymen. ANGELO could play; PIETRO could cook; BENITO could sing. Ginger took them on. Be- ginning to realize he was in love with Ginger, Bard suggested leav- ing. But Phil persuaded him to stay longer as their guest, and she wrote to SPEED RONEY, former friend of Ginger's, and invited him. She felt he would give Bard somc competition.
 Ginger met this move by invit- ing PATTY SEARS to take care of Speed. When Speed wired that he was bringing his sister she also per- suaded EDDY JACKSON to come, and Eddy decided to ball things up by keeping Ginger and Bard scpar- ated. This he did. Speeds sisters nickname was COTTON. Eddy dew ilishIy contrived to keep her and Bard together while he stuck to Gin- ger and paired Patty off with Speed. Everyone had 9 miserable time.
 Meanwhile, Bcnito had made q trip to Chicago and returned with presents for all and q plan to kidnap Ginger and hold her for runsOm. He bidcd his time out at Mill Rush, site of the club, and waited for his opportunity.
 When Speed ROney, not knowing how matter stood, told Bard that Ginger and Eddy Jackson were eIi- gagged. Bard determined to leave. And at that point of the proceedings Ginger disappeared. Shortly after ward a note was found, containing instructions and demand for $3O,- 900. Phil immediately wired to Chicago for tho money and a pair of private detectives. When the dctec- lives arrived they disclose the fact that Cotton is not Speeds sister and dcnouncc her as an imposter.

 Spice cakes have a strong appeal in cold weather. They are usually economical to make, for the distinc- tive spice flavor makes it possible to use other shortening than butter. Exacting cooks demand butter for their cakes on account of the taste of the crumb," but other shortenings produce just as deliciously rich cakes at much less cost and can be used to advantage in spice cakes partic- ularly.
 Since spice is such an important factor in spice cakes it should be given careful consideration. Of course freshly ground spice has the

STRANGE BIRDS

Birds that bite away portions
of their tail feathers to beautify
themselves, birds that have
thumbs" on their wings, and
hundreds of other varieties are
among the collection of 1000
birds just brought to Washington
from South America by Ernest
@. Holt, who led the Brazilian.
Venezuela expedition of the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
The lovely bird that clips it's
feathery adornment is the mot
mot, which is decked with a rain
bow of colors. Both the female
and male of this species bite
away the feathers near the ends
of the tail so as to leave an
elliptical bit of feather on the
tip of the quill.
The hoatzin, the 'thumbed"
bird, is one of these precocious
youngsters. When but a few days
old 1t can climb back into its
nest if it falls out.
These are only a few of the
many types. all of which will be
turned over to the National

of the utmost value BY no other
means have the Chinese relief agencies
been able to determine the real situa-
sion in the inundated section, which
covers many thousands of square miles.

Selling Gasoline From Trucks.

Few, If any residents Of Washington
except perhaps those who represent
certain gasoline companies, will take
issue with the resolution recently
adopted by the retail trade group of
the Washington Chamber of Com
merce which roundly condemns the
vending of gasoline to motorists from
tank wagons on the streets. AS a
matter Of fact, the resolution, while
characterizing this practice as fire
hazard and as unfair competition for
District filling stations, which pay
large tax bills and are strictly regu-
lated to prevent CONGREGATIONS, does not
go nearly far enough. The trafic
hazard with these numbering tank
wagons cluttering up the streets is just
as serious as any of the others. WASH
ington is blessed or cursed, according
to the viewpoint of the individual, with
plenty Of gas stations and no necessity
exists to augment these facilities with
trucks from which fuel can be bought

Sidered by the Commissioners with q
view to abolishing such practices.

Roosevelt Nomination Boom Appears
To Have Reached Static Condition

Of former Gov. Byrd.

Classed in the Eastern wet group
which puts a wet plank ahead of any
candidate are New Jersey, MaSsa-
chusetts Connecticut, Delaware, Penn

States will have ITO votes New York
is not included. II fight develops
over prohibition or AL Smith seeks to
assert his leadership in the State dele
cation, New York might split in half.
Even with New York left out, which
is hardly possible If there is a real
prohibition fight, the favorite son and
wet States, which might conceivably be
lined up against Roosevelt, show a mini
mum voting strength of over 400 and
might easily be pushed to $50 or 500.
One of the difficulties in such a combi-
nation is that some Of the favorite
son States are as dry as the Eastern
group is wet
Prominent Democrats in Pennsyl-
vania and Massachusetts have an
nounced recently that their States are
for Roosevelt. Those statements are
now said to have been unauthorized by
the State organizations. The party
leaders have indicated that they have
taken no action and will not until they
learn what is to be done about pro-
hibition. If Roosevelt meets their de-
mand on that issue, they are ready to
go with him.
The two-thHds vote necessary for
nomination in the Democratic conven-
ton is 1888. The actual vote conceded
Roosevelt at this time, according to
the claims of his managers, is about
500, or one-half of the whole party.
His problem is to get the other third,
not the other half If he holds what
he has the band wagon movement may
start any moment among the favorite
sons, leaving the Eastern vets power
less.
The Governors position Is now
viewed as not unlike that Of William
G.. McAdoo, who had 43l votes on the
first ballot in the Madison Square con-
vention in 1924 and ran up to 469 on
the sixty-eighth ballot. Al Smith start
ed in that convention with 241 and
reached 355. John w. Davis started
with the 80 votes of West Virginia and
was nominated.
The Roosevelt managers insist that
his position is comparable to that of
Smith in 1928. rather than McAdoo's
in 1924. In the 1923 convention Smith
went in with 724 votes on the first
ballot, lacking only 10 of the two
thirds. and the switches made before
the result was announced gave him the
nomination on the first That is what
is going to happen in 1882, in the hon
est conviction of the Roosevelt man
ayers.
