So Mertheen came to Harden House, to
join that small group of blooded dogs assem-
bled there. Useless, troublesome creatures.
He was not, so far as Mrs. Newbridge was
concerned, a complete success. He SHE'D away
from the fireplace, simply would not lie down
before it, He shed long red hairs over the
Hepplewhite sofa, the chairs and the rug. He
seemed frightened and tried to crawl under

Mr. Newbridge could lift his head from work.
He had almost forgotten Emerald Island
six months after acquiring it, except for pay
ing the bills He was worried because his
doctor said he was heading straight for a
smashup, and Mr.. Newbridge couldn't afford
a smashup just now. Not with that Jacklin

finally coming to a head, not with -
Though he practically never got home
before ten o'clock or midnight. MIR. New
bridge was the reason Mertheen stayed at
Harden House. For Mrs. Newbridge soon
decided he was mistake and she might as
we'll give him away. But MIR. Newbridge,
when he heard of this, put his foot down.
Absolutely not! He'd always wanted a dog
like Mertheen, he said, and he was going
to keep him.
Just the thing for shooting down on
Emerald Island" he declared.

He argued, but that only made
Mrs. Newbridge more determined.
The more she looked at Mertheen,
the more enthusiastic she was over
her mind d's-eye picture of him lying
there, on the hearth, in the exqui-
site living room. "Oh, yes, he's
field champion, too," she'd say to

Friends came, but they were Disappointing.
"Oh, you've got dog? What is he "a
setter?' Or just, What is he?' Or, Mrs.
Wilks has one just like him.
Under these circumstances it was hard to
be properly deprecatory. Mrs. Newbridge
was almost on the defensive. That's Mer-
theen Lev of Redjacket < dual champion.
Mr.. Newbridge, tired, flabby little man.
caught his first glimpse of Mertheen when he
came home, as usual, at ten o'clock at night.
Hello Got dog?" he said.
Mrs. Newbridge said yes, and explained
what a very famous dog Mertheen was.
Mr. Newbridge didn't know anything about
dogs but he was impressed, even enthusiastic.
He scratched Mertheens ears and rough
housed him. Mertheen liked MIR. Newbridge.
He's fine = just perfect for shooting on
Emerald Island, Mr. Newbridge said, warmly
For two years Mr.. Newbridge had been the
owner of Emerald Island, which was down
off the coast of Georgia. He bought it with
the idea that it would be just the place to get

She was irritated because the man laughed.
Don't tell me you want to buy Mertheen!"
He named price. Mertheen wasn't worth
it, of course Not by several thousand. And
the man would almost as soon have sold one
of his children But, like so many breeders, he
was superstitious To refuse to set price on
a dog was like opening an umbrella indoors.

sOYBEANs FOR THE TABLE

Under times of emergency ma
tions begin to plant now crops and
housewives begin to try new foods
During the past few years Amer
ica has been acquiring an appreci-
alton Of the value of the soybean as
Il food for man and animals. Ac-
cOrding to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture the produc-
tion of soybeans nearly doubled the
one year, 1884 to 1885. Soybeans
have proved to be a satisfactory crop
and a dependable feed for livestock.
The rice eating people of the ORR
ent have long used the soybean as
one OF their main articles of food.
Its richness in good quality protein
and its high fat content complement
the almost pure carbohydrate of
white rice. The soybean is also rich
in Vitamin A, B, and G. Soybeans
contain a larger amount and more
efficient protein than other beans
and are much higher in fat, but low
er in starch.
Shelled green sOybeans make a
tasty and nourishing vegetable.
Agate, HahtO. Easycook, Roskusun,
Funk Delicious, Kura, Ooda, Bansei,
Shiro, Hokkaido, Chusei, Higan,
kanTo, Nanda, Willomi, and Jogun
are all good varieties to cook green.
Green soybeans are shelled by
first boiling in the pods for three to
five minutes. The beans are then
shelled and steamed or boiled in
salted water. A varying amount of
time is required for cooking. Some
varieties cook as quickly as green
peas and some take as long as lima
beans. Because soybeans are so
rich in fat they need only a little
melted butter or bacon fat plus salt
and pepper for seasoning.
Dry soybeans should be soaked
overnight and then cooked practical
ly the same as any other beans
EasycOok, Chusei, ROskusun, Jogun, |
HOkkaido, and KanrO require the |
least cooking Of any of those tested !
by the Bureau OF Home Economics |
II these varieties are simmered for /
about two hours after an overnight /
soaking, they should De tender.
Dry sOybeans may he baked, but
should be partly cooked first. Any
standard recipe fOf baked beans
may be followed allowing three to
four hours in a slow oven.
The Bureau of Home Economics
has prepared a leaflet "SOybean for
the Table" which is for sale from
the Superintendent of Documents In
Washington, d. c., FOR five cents
This leaiet gives general cooking di-
IeetiOns and recipes.
The United States emerged from
the Civil War with a new high re-
gard for the sustaining food value
Of the peanut 1t may be that the
world will emerge from its present
crisis with soybeans as a common
article of food
