stair head. Molly cast q longing
glance toward the small room that
contained her scant but aI-impor-
tant wardrobe. But they would
have to pass the shattered door to
reach 1t and that would be tempting
Providence too far.
Testing each board as he ad-
vanced, Warburton led the way to
the ground floor. striving to make
each step as silent as those of his
barefooted companion. In the de.
serted barroom. he paused long
enough to retrieve his sword and
poinard from the debris on the floor.
At the street door, he peered out.
then drew Molly outside into the
shadows.
Cautiously, they moved through
the town. f1attening themselves
against buildings and in corners at
any sound of approaching steps or
voices. Finally--it seemed. and
was, hours later-they found them
selves on the outskirts of the viii
lage. The empty county road
stretched before them, but they
were on foot and in the open, doubly
conspicuous. And Carewe would un-
questionably ride this way in pur-
suit.
Molly Explains.
They had not gone far along the
road before Warburton noted that
the girl was nmping slightly.
It's my feet" she explained when
he stopped. Il :" she smiled
wryly. Il am not used to these
stones"
Without word Warburton lifted
her from the ground and resumed
the march with the girl in his arms.
Put me down. Adam she pro-
tested, Il can walk. You will tire
yourself needlessly."
He smiled down at the dishev-
eled head so near his own. IF
you put your arm around my
neck. Molly" he suggested, you
will be more comfortable and l can
carry you more easily"
She passed one Of her white arms
behind his head and clasped her
hands together at his shoulder. II
was then that 1t dawned upon War
burton that there WAS no reason
why this girl should be with him,
foot-sore and half-clad. sharing his
troubles.

help me? You only heard Carewe

Why did you aid me instead OF him7
Or take part in the quarrel at alp
Her brown eyes were black as
midnight as she looked up at him
why" she said In the slow voice
of wonder. Tit seemed the nat
ural thing to do. I did not stop to

His arms tightened about her and
he lowered his head. but before his
lips could touch her soft cheek. his
eyes had caught the vague outline
of an unfamiliar object on the road
ahead.

Came a sudden peremptory rap
upon the door, and Molly jumped IN

"Open!" came the voice of Car

Warburton glanced swiftly about.
There was nothing with which he
could defend himself when CareWe
should burst into the room. For the
door, while stout, could not long

clusion. he heard the voice Of Car

the room was empty. Molly" he
whispered, withdrawing from the
window. Il believe we can get our
selves out of this predicament.' He
seized the covers of the bed and be-
gan to tear them into long strips.
Knot the ends together-we must
work fast
The girl dropped to the floor,
crossed her bare legs and caught the
lengths of cloths as they fluttered
from Warburton's fingers. She bent
to the task assigned her, but after
a moment she stopped, in spite OF
the gravity of the situation, long
enough to knot one of the pieces of
linen about the waist of her loose
robe.
The door was ouivering under
heavy blows "Carewe!" Warburton
called. He must delay them as much
as possible.
You've got mel" he shouted after
Carewe had answered his call. What
terms will you give me if I give up?"
Rip-rip-rip! went the sheets!
Slowly a rope was taking shape un-
der Mollys flying fingers.
Carewe's answer was snarl and
the hammering on the door was re-
sumed with even greater fury.
A Risky Plan.
The makeshift rope was finished.

RURAL HOME "NERVE CENTER" TAKES TONIC

The nerve center" of any home
is the kitchen. Through it's doors
day in and day out, passes an end
less stream of food. dishes, and
people. On its working tables
there is constant activity. Small
wonder then, that the homemaker
cannot be happy in a kitchen in
adequately equipped.
Today, in the country as well as
the city, the kitchen can be mod
ern and convenient, varied equip
ment, which makes cooking and
cleaning easy, is available to any
woman who demands some of the
pleasant relaxation this machine
age affords. Unfortunately, many
kitchens cannot offer this added
leisure. The number of old-fash-
ioned kitchens are still far out of
proportion to the number of mod
ern kitchens, even though Ameri-
can manufacturing methods have
provided ample modern facilities.
In program of kitchen modern
ization, homemakers should con-
centrate first on the three primary
nerve centers"-the stove, refrig-
orator, and sink. Although it be-
comes economical over a period of
time, complete kitchen moderniza-
tion can represent sizeable in
vestment at the start. More and
more people are planning their fu-

CONTINUED from First Pass,

Camps have been midsummer
fixed institutions on the Peninsula
for more than a century, and years
ago served as recreational places
for the rural folk as well as those
in the urban sections.
Good highways and automobiles
have somewhat detracted attention
of the campmeetings of the pres
ent day from those of yesteryear
Larger crowds are in attendance
during the evenings and on Sun
days than ever before in their his
tory; but almost hourly there is a
change in the population of the
grounds.
Hundreds of people will eongre-
gate to a camp and remain an hour
and then go to some seaside re-
sort an hour later and spend the
remainder of the evening. Fifty
years ago when people, driving ten
and fifteen miles, visited a camp
they would spend the day and re-
main until late at night and then
go home over sandy or muddy
roads.
The religious spirit, as mani
tested forty years ago, seems to be
declining, with the possible ex-
ception of James and Carey's Camp
the latter ten miles from George
town, and opening on August. 8.
There is, it is argued by many,
a good reason. 1t is pointed out

Campmeeting Time Down
In Sussex County, Delaware

that majority of the young peo-
pie, in the automobile age, are
more interested in going to sea-
side resorts or attending the movies
than these outdoor religious meet
ings. About the only interest, it is
said, is to promenade about the
grounds-usually dusty and not
inviting. 1t was not so fifty years
ago. They had no other place to
go when they visited the camp but
to attend the services. Walking
about the grounds was prohibited
until after the preaching service.
The campmeeting season, not
withstanding the modernistic
trends, still is looked forward to
by the rural folk as well as former
residents in Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, Chester. Wilmington and
other cities who usually spend ten
days with relatives at the camps.

modelling as time and money per-
mits.
Now the country and suburban
dweller no longer need hesitate in
starting her modernization pro-
gram. An ideal unit to begin with
is the stove. Kerosene oil ranges
now are as modern in appearance
and efficient in performance as any
gas or electric range. Improve
ments in recent years have made
kerosene stoves and ranges highly
efficient, with their clean, quick,
intense, controlled heat. In opera
tion they have advanced as far as
the modern automobile over the
car of 1915. Porcelain enameled
finishes have banished cleaning
drudgery (; glass wool insulated
ovens turn out perfectly baked
pies. cakes and meals; easily op-
Grated burner controls eliminate
all of the old-fashioned troubles of
lighting and adjusting, and large,
accessible storage compartments
take care of idle utensils.
Here is a simple, economical way
to begin a program of kitchen
modernization that will pay big
dividends in increased efficiency,
added leisure, and better health.
Continuance of such a program
will soon make your kitchen the
envy of all your friends and result
in establishing your home os the
style leader of this community.
