found the bodies of two men who
had been shot,. not drowned, and
were, ourselves, fired on, on the Not

in September to view our graves
and clean up the case. This looks to
me like the Waterloo of Sergeant
Finlay and Constable Malone"
A look of incredulity lay on Ma
lone's freckled face. He squinted
curiously at his chief: you're not
talking like your old self, Garry.
You've taken tough lacing from
those bugs. You're in misery. And
you're naturally sore over the sour
Wy trick that Jane played on you.
But when the poison's worked out of
your system you're going to feel bet
ter about this jam we're in. l tell
you we're going to bust Isadore wide
open and if those Montagnais start
to hunt us, there'n be plenty of red
widows in these parts"
"You may be right, Red" Finlay
raised his face with it's closed eyes
to his friend. 'But if we're licked,
we'll 60 down with our colors fly
ing!"
In the morning Wabistan left for
the head of the lake to carry on his
losing fight against the medicine
man. For two days Garry's physi-
cal condition kept him in camp, then
the swelling began to leave his eyes
and he could see. The afternoon of
the third day, on his return from the
gill-nets with Noise Wabistan, Blaise
announced: "Cano' movin' up de
shore!"
Red got his glasses from the tent.
well, I'll be whip-sawed if that
double-crossing Jane hasn't had the
gall to send that boy hunting for us,
again!" snorted Malone.
"Sure it's the one who brought
that messenger" asked Finlay, alive
to the sudden Tightening of his
throat, the jump of his pulse. He
was again deep in the spell of those
last moments with Lise Demarais.
Absolutely, and he's scared into
a cold sweat" said Red, his binocu-
lars at his eyes. "Got to hand it
to that kid! He's game to show up
here after what happened"

CHAPTER XII

The returning Peterboro was met
at the camp by Wabistan and his
two sons. Beneath his thatch of griz-
zled hair and scanned forehead the
old mans eyes were beady with ex-
citement. "Ver' bad time at head of
lake!" he announced. ''Kinebik

Eye on Three Leg stay on Was

into Garry's caricature of face as
he took his hand. "How you come
dis way?" he demanded.
Finlay attempted a twisted smile.
"Your friend, Tete-Blanche, tied me
up and left me to the bugs"
The muscles in Blaise Brassard's
jaw bulged. "When we leave Was
wanipi," he rasped in Cree, 1--WE
leave Tete-Blanche in the ground
and take Isadore with us! He has
broken the law and given the Mon
tagnais whiskey!"
Take Isadore with you? Are you
police sent by the Fathers at Otta-
wa?" excitedly demanded the old
man.
Blaise shook his head. ''No, but
we are sent by the Fathers to make
picture Of the lakes" He repeated
his talk with Wabistan to his friends.
"He's right, Blaise," said Garry.
They've shown their hand. After
today they've got to get rid of us to
save their skins. And they'll use
Kinebik and this evil eye mumbo-
jumbo to do it 4"

ence. In any case, always measure
the coffee and water carefully. Use
standard measuring cups and
spoons.
Sleeping Method: Measure 2 level
tablespoonfuls of coffee for each
standard measuring cupful of water
into the pot. Pour the measured
amount of boiling water over the
coffee and stir well. Cover and let
stand on an asbestos mat over low
heat or in warm place 6 to 10
minutes. Strain.
Percolator Method: Measure cold
water into the percolator and 2
level tablespoonfuls of coffee for
each measuring cupful of water
into the basket. Cover and place
over heat. Allow water to perco-
late slowly over the coffee for 7 to
10 minutes Ginning should begin
when slight color appears in water
seen in glass top). Remove basket
with grounds as soon as coffee has
percolated a sufficient length of
time.
Drip Method: Preheat the pot with
boiling water. Measure 2 level
tablespoonfuls of coffee for each
measuring cupful of water into the
upper compartment. Pour the meas
ured boiling water over the coffee.
Cover and let stand on an asbestos
mat over low heat or in a warm
place where coffee will keep hot,
but not boil. The water should drip
through in 6 or 10 minutes. Wien
dripping is completed, remove up-
per compartment with grounds.
Vacuum Method: Measure water in
to lower bowl and apply heat. Do
not place upper bowl in position un-
til the water boils. Adjust the filter
in the upper part and measure in
9 level tablespoonfuls of coffee for
each standard measuring cupful of
water. Place on lower bowl. Water
will almost Immediately be forced
through center tube into upper
level. When all but the small
amount of water below the bottom
of the tube has risen, stir the mix
ture in the upper bowl. Turn off
the electric current or turn the gas
flame very low. (The water should
remain in the upper bowl to 5
minutes = 2 minutes for very
fine grind and 5 minutes for a very
coarse grind.) The coffee should
then return to the lower bowl. (The
cooling of the lower bowl creates
a vacuum which draws the coffee
down into the lower compartment.)
Remove the upper bowl.
Coffee is at its best when freshly
made, therefore serve at once with
sugar and cream to suit the indi-
vidual taste.
Do not attempt to use leftover
brew or once-used grounds when
making a new lot of coffee.

avoid carrying out the courts edict.
John M. Gallagher, regional at
torney for the Division, sounded
this warning today when informa-
ton heached him that certain en-
ployers who had bean defendants
in court actions, were preparing to
require their employees to 'kick
back" with the amounts due the
workers under the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
'The amounts employers must
pay to their employees represent
sums the workers are entitled to re-
ceive under the Federal Wage and
Hour Law" he said. "The courts
have ordered such sums paid. 1t is
court order, not an order by the
Wage and Hour Division. Employ
ers who fail to make such pay
ments are defying the courts and
such action comes under the head
ing of contempt of court.
''The commonest form of kick
back is for the employer to go
through the formality of paying off
by check or in cash, and to call the
employees separately into his Office,
telling them of his need for money
to continue the business, and if
they do not return the money, he
will have to close the plant.
In other cases, written state
ments have been circulated for en-
ployees to sign, stating they do
not care to keep the money due
them and releasing their claims for
the amounts found due them in
consideration of continued employ
ment and the good treatment they
received on the part of their en-
ployer.
where the Division ascertains
there has been intimidation or CO.
ercion on the part of the employer
to obtain kick backs either GRIM
inal or civil litigation will ensue al

TRRITATIONS, q

TRRITATIONS, discourage
i ments, those early-morning
squabbles, very often can be easily
dissolved with cup of hot steam
ing coffee, whose delicious favor
is bound to cure any ill-humor. So,
if you want to add buoyancy to your
own disposition, as well as to others,
here are some making
methods that will turn you into a
veritable goodwill ambassador.
Be sure that your coffee pot is scrup-
ulously clean. Wash it thoroughly
after each using with plenty of SOAP
and hot water and then rinse thor
oughly with hot water. Be sure to
clean such parts as the spout and
any tubes or baskets in the pot.
Use fresh coffee. The flavor of
roasted coffee deteriorates rapidly
when in contact with the air. To
insure freshness you can use vacu-
um-packed coffee or one that bears
a roasting date not more than 2 or
3 days previous to the date Of pur-
chase. Use as fine grind as is pos
sible with your coffee pot. Too fine
a grind will give a muddy brew.
Too coarse a grind will make
It difficult to extract the flavor.
The proportions of coffee and water
suggested below suit the average
taste and are intended as reco e.-
mendations only. You can use any
proportion that suits your prefer

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Quick frozen foods make garden
fresh fruits and vegetables avail
able through the whole year. Stor-
ing foods by quick freezing is the
best way yet found to preserve nu-
tritive value and full flavor of
freshly harvested fruitst and veg
etables.
Ten years ago quick frozen fruits
and vegetables were novelty.
Only deluxe markets carried them
and only a select few served them.
Now, it looks as if, in little while,
stores of frozen foods will be COM
mon to most communitie, as COM
mon, perhaps, as shelves filled with
canned goods.
Modern qquick freezing is far
step from old fashioned cold stor-
age. The secret of the difference
is the speed of freezing. Garden
fresh fruits and vegetables are
carefully prepared, wrapped, pack
aged and then frozen at several de-
grees below zero. The faster the
freezing the smaller the crystals Of
ice and so the fewer cell walls will
be broken down. Fruits and veg
etables are then kept frozen until
used.
Certain varieties OF vegetables
are best adapted to freezing. Com
mercial freezing firms usually dis
tribute their own seed to farmers
SO that the quality will be uniform.
Meats are frozen in. essentially
the same way as fruits and veget-
ables except that meat is hung for
some time before freezing. The
time that elapses between killing
and freezing varies with the kind
of meat. Fish is frozen as soon as
possible.
Clarence Birdseye is credited with
being the one to develop CONNER
cial freezing of fruits and veget-
ables. He sold his process to Cen
eral Foods who still produce Birds
eye Frosted Foods. Other firms
have adapted the quick freezing
process and many brands of COM
mercially frozen foods are now
available.
The amount of commercially
frozen vegetables, fruits, fish, meat
and poultry increased fifteen times
in four years. Yet commercial
freezing promises now to take sec
ond place to the renting of freez-
ing locker units for people to do
their own quick freezing.
By having his own locker for
freezing the farmers family can
store and use their surpluses. City
and town families have already
learned to enjoy frozen foods be-
cause they are close to stores which
carry them, while many farm fam
lilies are not yet accustomed to
their use. City apartment dwell
ers may look forward to the day
when freezing locker units will be
provided in apartment houses for
their. convenience in storing sum-
mer surpluses.
There are now about 1000 frozen
food locker plants in the Unite1
States, according to an article by
Ray P. Calf and Hiram K. Smith
in the March 1941 Atlantic Month
ly, but these are not evenly dis
tributed over the country For ex-
ample Iowa has more than 50O
Delaware has just one locker plant
at the Diamond Ise and Coal Com
pany in Wilmington, and that one
is fully rented. However, the Ex-
tension Service is working on plans
for other down state lockers.
