Sue, watching Sally avoiding the answers to the questions that were being asked her, wondered If Sally didn't realize just how completely she was giving away the fact that she was trying to screen someone Ruth had sensed 1t, too.
 "Why not name the man, Sally?' she asked. Ut can't do any harm If he's innocent he's clear. If ht pulled off some crooked deal while he was with you, then he deserves all that he's going to get"
 But he didn't pull off anything at all" Sally insisted. Il wat with 0 friend of mine from out ol town, and I'm not going to get ms name mixed up in anything" She bit her lips until they were slen' der, fierce red line. Just because a car disappeared and then came back doesn't mean that we had 1t.
 But you left in O car, and the man who was with you didn't call for you in one," Jack volunteered. "That car must have belonged to someone at the party. Later a car came in. Someone sat in 1t, then disappeared. The gardener thought the man had gone into the house Apparently my car was being re- turned. If you would help us clear up your angle of 1t. Miss Bradley, we could forget that and go on to the next clue. But as long as it's there, 1t balks us."
 "I'll say nothing" Sally answered I in @ hot, strained voice.
 You had better talk, Miss 1fPtoar'c tanoc rnnl suave, but with a metallic under current, answered. "At once."
 But if I do you will broadcast the name of the man to the papers and everywhere else when he's really innocent. You'll name him as a suspect of something!"
 "If he isn't guilty, as you say. we'll not let his name be mentioned in any way at all," the officer promised.
 "All right then. The man with me was Hal Pritchard!" Sally flung the words defiantly.
 "Hal Pritchard? Ruth's voice slipped into the silence.
 "Yes. What is he to you?" Sally asked her harshly.
 Nothing at all. of course"
 "You all are acting as though you expected me to say that name," Sally went on. "Nodding your heads and exchanging glances. think I have Q right to an explanation"

YOUR CHILDREN

A certain mother confided plan of hers to me recently and l think it struck me as being one or the best things I have yet heard. She has a boy of eleven and he was getting out of bounds. They scolded and laid down the law and went to see the teacher and did the usual things under the circum- stances.
 With the usual results. He got worse and worse. It was the old army game that he was playing, getting everybody excited and worked up and he was winning. It was @ lot of fun to be the center of his own little drama and get all that attention. Worth whippings and being put to bed and doing without his allowance and every thing.
 Dramatizing himself. That's what most bad-no I won't call him that-unruly boys do. Devised a Scheme His mother was at her wits end. There wasn't anything left. She knew nothing about psychology, she had nothing technical in mind when the haphaZard plan popped into her head. For a plan did pre- sent itself to her. First she went to her husband. twill you keep your hands off Roddy for week and let me try something? No matter what he does don't say word to him about it. Act as though nothing had hap pened." He consented reluctantly. To the teacher she said the same thing. She also agreed. Then his mother got hold of the prodigal himself. First she fixed him up, got out his best clothes, had his hair trimmed and made ! regular gentleman out of him. The Plot Thickcns She said, "Roddy. I want you I to do this for me, please. Do ex- actly as you like for q week. But every time you misbehave come and tell me. No lies wll be nec- keep anything back. You won't be scolded once, or whipped, or drowned on. just want to know what you are made of and I want to know if you are honest" He was puzzled but said he guessed he would if he could re- member. .....- The first day he came home and his mother looked her inquiry. "Oh | I didn't do much. Copied q prob | lem. I guess maybe l stamped in ranks. Chuck and I had a fight. And oh" he regarded her un- certainly, II tore these." He turn ed around and there was a chunk out of his trousers.
 His mother said, "Very well. Now run along. But give me the pants first. I'll mend them. Get your others"
 The next day was worse. That included smashing a greenhouse window and chalking up car. The third day in school he gave the children some purple-candy trick pills and they frothed all
 And It Worked! | But nobody scolded-nobody said a word. Nobody laughed and nobody frowned Nobody, in short, was the least bit interested.
 Father and teacher agreed to another week. Then another.
 Roddy was telling less lurid
 tales. He had lost pep. His game
 was getting stale. He missed the
 scolding and fussing and even. the
 whippings. No longer was he the
 center of the stage. :.
 "He became quiet, thoughtful and serious and altogether a changed boy" His mother said
 proudly, "We are keeping 1t up. His father cannot understand the miracle, but he says he will never go back to the old way" It was no miracle. It was com mon sense.

Peter was hurrying home at the close of long, hard day. After he had read the paper and scanned the market reports he sat idly looking out of the window and wondering what he would have for dinner. After he left the car he still thought of food.
 T know what would taste best of all-some baked beans, crusty and brown, some cole slaw, baked potato, catsup, brown bread and apple butter. With that I'd like to have lemon meringue pie. Gosh but Pm hungry. Maybe that's what makes me so tired"
 When he opened the door he could scarcely believe his own nose. He did, yes he did, smell baked beans. And when he sat down he found most of the dinner as he had imagined it already on the table.
 Nancy's recipe for baked beans is an old and tested, tried and true one.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-15

She picked over one quart of navy beans and soaked them over night in water to cover. In the morning she drained the beans, covered them with fresh water and heated this slowly until bean put in 8 spoon and blown upon showed a wrinkled skin. Then she drained off the water, and put beans in baking dish. She used one half pound fat salt pork, put ting part of 1t in bottom of dish. She mixed one tablespoon salt, one tablespoon molasses. three table, spoons sugar and one half teaspoon dry mustard. To this she added ono cup boiling water. This mix turs was poured over beans and enough more hot water added to cover them. She put the baking dish, covered, in slow oven and baked beans for six hours. Occa- sionally she added little more water. The baking dish was un- covered during last hour of cook ing to make top brown and crusty.
 Nancy has some recipes for dishes men like. Send a stamped, self addressed envelope with your request mailed to Nancy Page, care of this paper.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER XIV

CHAPTER XIV
 Cecily owned but one pair of evening slippers-spike heeled, pert, narrow things of black satin with tiny imitation cut-steel buckles-but unfortunately they were size too small for Mary Frances. She had put them on at nine o'clock. She dared not take them off for fear she could not crowd them on again, and they pinched her tiptoes cruelty and did burning things to her heels as she crept, each step fluttering trepidation, each squeaking board cold panic absolute, through the long upper hall, past Brands and Rosalie's door, past the bathroom, past Anne's door with it's frighten- ], ing streak of light, past Cecily's room, and the east spare rooms and the west spare rooms, and went stealthily limping down the back stairway.
 She and Ermintrude had decided earlier in the evening that an ethereal effect was more important than conventional, fashionable at- tire, and since her last summers white dresses were each of them several inches too short ("How that child does grow!") she wore the White Grecian robes that she had worn for her solo dance in parents assembly, and an old white chiffon scarf of Rosalie's long dis carded, was strung about her shoulders.
 All during the evening, until the past half hour, Mary-Frances had been composing speeches for her. self and for Earl-though chiefly for Earl. The slipeprs had brought praises of fairy-feet, and parts of that poem which Rosalie some- times repeated: Sweet, thou hast trod on heart"-umpty-um -umpty, something or other about men, fin- ishing chivalrously, Women as fair us thou art. must do such l things now and then"
 Not that Mary-Frances intended treading on hearts, now or ever. Her views concerning women who did such things, heartless flirts and coquetets, were bitterly derogatory. But, of course, 1t could easily turn out that it had all been a terrible mistake and misunderstanding, and that the lady had not really trod On q NeaTC dI dIl. luc SCdTA, WHlle it's raveled edges had been rever- ently kissed, had produced refer ences to angels and things high above the type of womanhood most approved by Mary Frances. But, for the past half-hour, all that had been put aside, and forgotten. Mary-Frances had become pos- sessed of but one purpose and one resolve: to get to the walnut tree five minutes after half-past 10; to keep those pretty slippers on if they killed her.
 
 She kept the slippers on, teeter- ing tortuously on the high heels down the graveled driveway. She reached the walnut tree at pre- cisely 25 minutes to II.
 Earl was there. Earl was waiting for her under the walnut tree. An astonishment in itself, without the additional bcwilderment of finding new Earl, an impetuous, whisper ing person, who said, LAW, you sweet baby, you," and captured her icy trembling hands and held them firmly while she responded with

DRY RAIDERS

Greater Drive Than Any Yet Attempted Is the Report That Drifts Into CityAgents Said to Have Gathered Eyi- dence
WARRANTS HAVE
 ALSO BEEN ASKED

A tip reached Waterbury early this afternoon. that federal agents were preparing for another big offensive with the Brass City as its chief objective. It was ihtimated that another small army of agents similar to that which visited here last September and raided IS places at the same time, was being organized for a grand slam. Re- gardless of whether the report was without foundation, 1t was suffi- cient to cause a half holiday among the restaurant owners, club man agers and others, who might be embarrassed if called upon.
 For the past week agents have been gathering evidence here. Two or three, were in Waterbury yester- day. Previous to election day sev- eral undercover men operated here, so it is more than likely that a drive is not an event of the dis tant future. Waterbury always gets first class consideration from the
