PART IL Mary did not know about it, for she was helpin' her ma get dinner; but she was good and wise, and when her pap told her what he had done she never said a word, except that she was sorry, for she loved Jeff like she loved him and her ma. Doc had Mary and her ma taken into the church right away, of course, and Jeff found himself left out with the goats. The next week, while Doc was helpin' a neighbor with his threshin', Jeff saw Mary, and they fixed up a ineetin' place at nights. It was in a corner of the yard, behind ebunch of lilacs and some rosebushes. Doc al- ways went to bed soon after supper, and Mary said she could slip out then, and there would not be anything to disturb their sparkin'. Of course, her ma knew about it. She and Mary and Jeff had agreed that they would wait patiently and see if Doc would not get over his pious tantrum. Sparkin' behind the lilacs and rose- bushes went on without a hitch, but before long the fall come creepin' up and Nary and Jeff begun to worry, for soon it would be too chilly to sit out- doors at night. One Sunday night to- ward the last of September they were sittin' on the little hard puncheon bench behind the lilacs, their hands clasped, and their thoughts pestered by the prospects, for they did not know what they would do when the weather turned cold, when Mary said: "Listen! That sounds Iike something in the yard." Jeff listened, but all he could hear was Doc snorin'. Doc was an awful snorer. Sometimes when Jeff was late goin` to meet Mary behind the lilacs and roses he could hear Doc snorin' when he was a mile from the house. Leavin' the barkin' out, Jeff said, it sounded like three or four Newfound- land dogs havin' a fight. They went on with their sparkin', after every meal Cleanses mouth and teeth and aids digestion.

It was Doc's snorin'. The next minute they heard his voice out in the yard on the other side of the house. "Sooie out of here!" he yelled. "How did them hogs get hi here, anyhow? I reckon they've got the front yard root- ed up and are now riddlin' the back yard." He had been snorin' loud enough to almost keep his nearest neighbor awake, two miles and more away, but he had wakened to the slightest noise of something in the yard that ought not to have been there. As Jeff learned afterward, the hogs had found a rotten rail in the fence around the apple orchard and snooted it out and crawled through the crack; and then one of them, nubbin' against the palin' fence betwixt the orchard and the yard, had loosened a palin' at the bottom, and in tryin' to squeeze through the openin' had broke two more palin's loose at the bottom,'let- tin' the whole passel in, Now, everybody who knows any- thing about hogs knows that they never can find the hole where they come into the place where they are not to come, especially when you are after them tryin' to get them out; so round the yard the hogs come, woof-woofin', with Doc after them. Two of them run right in front of Jeff and Mary where they were sittin', almost holding their breath, for fear they would be diskivered; and when Mary jumped, the shotes let out a squeal like they was bein' butchered. Doc was in his nightshirt, Jeff saw as he galloped by, and it did not come more than halfway to his knees. Of course, Die did not know anybody was in his yard, or he would not have come I out so scantily clothed. Lucky for him, and for Jeff and Mary too, there was no moonlight, it bein' ;n the dark of the moon, and it was right dark in the yard. "Oh, Pap!" Mary started to holler, but clapped her hand over her mouth just in time to smother the words. They was afraid to move, lest they be seen, for they knew that Doc's wrath at findin' them there would have been like fire and brimstone, without bein' aggravated at findin' the hogs in the yard too. Around the house and back again went Doc and the hogs, the hogs woof- woofin' and Doc hollerin', "Sooie out of here!" Jeff could tell that he was getting madder and madder every minute. Just as Doc and the hogs went tearin' by Jeff and Mary on the sec- ond trip around, Doc lete out a yell, and for the next few minutes Jeff said he never before then and never after then listened to such a pile of plain and fancy cussin'. From the way he was damnin' first a bush and then the hogs, and then the bush again, Jeff opined he had run astraddle of a rose- bush, one with thorns en it. "Oh, pore Pap," Mary groaned, and hid her face in her ;:rms. The cussin' got Jeff a little light- headed at first, he s::id, it was such a surprise, and it was more than a min- ute before he diskivered that there was a nudgin' sensation at the back of his mind, tellin' him that there was something he ought to do. And then Jeff come to. "Here's our chance, Mary," he whis- pered to her. "You run up the front porch steps into the house while he's goin' round with the hogs, and he won't know you've been here." "But what are you goin' to do, Jeff?" Mary asked, sort of holdin back. "I'm goin' to play a little game of "Heavy, heavy hangs over your head' with your pap," he told her. "So run along now, -and do as I tell you." The minute Mary's feet struck the front porch, and Jeff knew she would get in without bein' seen, he run to meet Doc, caIlin' as he run: "Goodness, Doc, them's awful cuss words for a lately sanctified person to be usin'!" Doc whirled on him so quick that his shirt tail flared out behind. "I thought I told you to stay away from here, you wicked sinner!" Doc bawled. "How did you come here, any- how?" Jeff had to laugh, right in his face, at that. "I was passim' and heard the rum- pus." he said, somewhat untruthfully, "and I was afraid there might be something the matter, so I run here as quick asI could. I wouldn't have come • gas .vg No. 43—'24. Jin on you, Doc, if I'd 'mowed you was —AND THE WORST IS YET TO COME (f6� .01,01 MAIN DISH CHANGES. Even the best of steak and chop and roast main dishes become uninterest- ing if served too often, so it is well to find some different foods that will fill the same place on the menu and yet please the most fastidious appetite. For those who dislike salmon in the usual form, try combining it with mashed potato and a beaten egg. Then shape into cakes, dip in cracker crumbs and fry. Served with a few strips of bacon, they are even better than the common codfish cake. Ham and Rice Croquettes are made much the same way, except that cold boiled rice is used in place of potato and cold ham is minced fine to mix with it. Roll these in egg and then flour and fry in deep fat. Lamb en Casserole is always good. To two pounds of rack of lamb, cut, up in small pieces, allow three large potatoes, diced, three sliced onions, two diced carrots and a shredded green pepper. Season and cook slowly with enough water to cover. Keep the lid down tight, as this makes the meat goin' to do a little cussin', but it never once got into my noodle that a con- verted church member would find any pleasure, or satisfaction either, in cussin'. You ain't back -slid, have you, Doc?" "Get away from here, you messen- ger of Satan," Doc hollered, "and don't try to buffet me! Any angel would likely have cussed if he'd run straddle of that rosebush, with no clothes oft his middles." "Sinful habits will return," Jeff con- soled him. "And you must recollect, Doc, that you ain't been leadin' a sanctified life long enough for it to get good and settled in you. You ain't had time to get the habit. Still, I guess the meetin'-house brothers and sisters. would be mighty surprised and grieved to hear about this. I hope no tattle- tale tells them. Can I help you any, Doc?" Doc was as still as a tombstone for about a minute. Then ha chuckled. Doc did have a sense of humor. "You got me, you young devil," he said to Jeff, with hi& old-time, good- natured roughness. "You got - me. Yes, you can help me; you can help me drive them gosh-durned •hogs out of the yard." (The End.) A New Serial of E3ceptional Merit. Every member of, the family will enjoy - this story.

Dept. 93, Toronto -Nt) MIDDY TIES. All of my friends admire my little daughter's new middy ties, quite un- suspicious of their humble origin. When I decided that fifty cents each was more than I could afford to pay for the ties displayed in the stores, I turned hopefully to my rag bag and unearthed some odds and ends of silk of before -the -war quality which made up beautifully into middy ties. I used an old tie for a pattern and, where piecing was necessary, the seam was made where it would be concealed by the middy collar. The remnants of long -discarded foulard dress made a lovely tie with large white polka dots on a navy blue background. Another tie cut from an old roman stripe silk scarf adds a gay bit of color to a white middy blouse. Then there was the old china silk waist, worn in the sleeves 'and cream - colored from much laundering, which seemed to offer possibilities. This fur- nished material which, with the aid of setae' bits of "dyeing soap" which I happened to have on hand, were trans. formed into two beautiful ties, one of brown and one of red. Altogether I felt my rummage in the rag bag had been well worth while) – R. H. 0. For Sore Feet--Mlnard'e Liniment. 1LOUSE established 00 years.
