FL ME. In THE FOREST
By HAROLD TITUS
atoms Shy IRWIN


Tod West was standing there, put
ting light wood into the fireplace.
That done, he crossed the room to a
cupboard, took from it whisky-bot-
tie and drank deeply.
He stood for a moment close to the
fire and then began undressing. His
shirt came off first. As he turned,
Kerry could see the pistol holster
strapped TO his side. Of came the
pacs and then the breeches and the
man stood in his underclothes, drink
ing again from the bottle. He drank
deeply =. too deeply. Kerry remarked
to himself, for man with a past to
keep hidden.
The freight was not so brilliant
now. The birch wood evidently was
dozy. A great bank of dense white
smoke sucked into the throat of the
chimney.
But the master of the house was
either satisfied with the fire or else
considered that he had more impor-
tant things TO do. He took the bottle
from the mantel, and shaking his head
as though muttering to himself, made
his way slowly up the stairs.
Kerry slipped along the end Of the
house and reached the rear just as a
shaft of light shot out into the spruce

thicket there. The light came from a
dormer window set in the gently
pitched roof. Stepping away from the
wall, Kerry could see VESTS head and
shoulders behind the panes.
The man raised the bottle to his
lips for a fourth time and then, evil
IDENTIFY placing it on table, unbuckled
the strap of his shoulder holster and
put it down.
Alone in the darkness, Kerry let
one eyelid droop and cooked his head.
That pistol might be most impor-
tant item in his own official life. But
how to get possession without having
West know where it had gone?
A clump of small birches grew close
to the rear wall of the house, their
trunks almost touching the low caves
Hand over hand, he went up the sap
lings and hitched himself to the wet
shingles, stretching out on his belly.
Now he could see West plainly. The
man was sitting in chair, the whisky
bottle in his hands, and as Kerry
gazed at him he began shaking his
head from side to side as though in
sorry and solitary debate The pistol,
Kerry saw, was hung in its holster
over the back Of a chair.
The wind sent heavy smoke from
the chimney rolling down across the
man prone on the roof
West drank once more, and whisky
trickled over his chin. His movements,
replacing the bottle on the small ia
bic, were uncertain. He rose and
CROPPED for the hanging light-bulb, hit
it, set it swinging, captured it and
then fumbled for the button.
Night shut down suddenly and bed
springs creaked as a heavy body fell
upon them.
Kerry was within feet of that
weapon. And he had a plan to get
hold of it.
He rose from his position on the
shingles and began making his way
along the roof. cautiously. After he
had passed the window he went more
rapidly and as he gained the ridge
he stood erect.
The chimney belched great volumes
of smoke. Of came Young's jacket,
now; over the fiue opening it went.
and he crouched against the masonry,
waiting.
Down in the nav Of the fireplace,
feeble flames died from orange TO
blue and then expired in the rolling
smoke which, cut off from escape

A dash of salt improves the flavor

To prevent diced fruits dropping

fruits and add when gelatin mixture
has partly CONCEALED.
Marinate fresh fruits to be used
in salads as soon as they are cut or

prevents discoloration.
If rugs lose their stiffness after
cleansing and do not lie fat on the
floor, thin coat of white shellac APP

Orange juice mixed with confec-

century, once met a servant girl,
Nicette. whose lover had been drawn
in the conscription. They had planned

which TO pay for a substitute. Learn
ing Of her trouble, Paganini fashioned

Small Can Be Great In
Bettering of Humanity

When a small nation accomplishes
something with its limited means.
says ex-President Masaryk of Czecho-

Masaryk Tells His Story" what 1t
achieves has an immense and excep-
tional value, like the widows mite.
Speaking of his country, Masaryk
writes, "Our smallness as a nation
does not matter; it even has its ad-
vantages; we can know each other
better. we can live more intimately;
we can feel more at home. But it
is a great thing when a small nation
among great ones does not get left
behind, but takes its share in the
work of lettering humanity"
