S'eate eery Shortcake. -One experi-
enced waman says that the best way
to make the biscuit crust is not by
splitting p g the thick crust, as most
housekeepers do, but by making two
separate layers like an ordinary
chocolate cake. Spread the upper
part of the lower layer well with
butter and place the other layer on
top of this. When they are baked
you will find that they separate easily.
It is much better than running the
risk of ruining the cake by splitting
the hot crust,

CHAPTER XVI,-((lont'd,)
Five minutes later when•he met his
wife downstairs, Inc asked Whether
she had found anything of the old wo-
man.,
"Yes, I made up quite a bundle for
her a warm petticoat and all sorts of
thick, things, Kitty's and mines but
the silly old thing hits gone without

Rolt looked grave.
"Oh, you need not frown, Dick'. We

so hard to decide, what -one really has

to give the house its monthly scrub-
bing.
Rolf looked out over the darkening
landscape. ' The November day was
drawing rapidly to a close, and he
knew that old Mary had seven miles
to trduge back to her ranchenie,,but
it was curious that she had not wai

mood quickly to have gained ti
shelter of the gulch already, or sh
could not have waited long for thos

A question which Rolt wanted
ask was suppressed before it left hi
lips. Instead he asked his wife ho
long it was since old Mary had give
the house one of her "thorough scrub
binge."
"Marc than a month, I'm afraid, b
you know they have all been away
from the raneherie. Why '1 Do an

badly, old man?"
"Oh, no, 'not a bit, I make a goo

bath room, but you and Kitty loo

woman, . It is always as clean as a

"What a delightful old humbug you

Nothing had been touched; nothing

Even that clamp outline on the boards
had elated oft' now. He wished that he
had examined it more carefully, but
after all, it could not have been old
Mary in ilia room, though she appar-
ently did know the way to it.
He paused for a long minute, and
went over everything' carefully with

"Yes, that le a fire sure enough:
There are two of them. Do you see

to Once outside the door his manner

tell the then in the dining -room. I'm

stop them before they can do much

He was running downstairs as he
d spoke, and snatched a Winchester
e from its rack as he passed out of the
k hall
Mary Roit's heart sank as she raw
him snatch the rifle, but alto did his
bidding as he would have had her do
it, with the utmost coolness, and when
the men had rushed out after their
toaster, she went back to the sick -
at room. There was no need for any
explanation there.

At the back of the ranch and on
both sides of it lay a great encloses!
meadow of about a.thousand acres in
, a long parallelogram and clown the
middle of it ran a chain of hay stacks,
each fenced in, the feed upon which
depended the safety of Rolt's stock if
a hard winter should come.
There are years, many of them,
luckily, in which these stacks need not
be touched. In all open winter the
cattle are 001,11ed without having re-

cattle business. Sooner 0r later a
deep snow comes; so keep that the 1
cattle cannot paw it away to get at
the grass beneath and then the men
who have not provided against such 1
times lose every head of stock.
It means ruin to the imprrovident,

WHAT LIFE INA
SUBMARINE IS LIKE
NERVE-RACKING WORK WITH
CONSTANT RISKS.
Crews of British Subs Are All Volun-
teers, Because of Dangers
and hardships.
Many people are under the impres-
sion that the crew of a British sub-
marine is composed of a certain num-
ber of sailors and a cage of white
mice.
Such used to be the case, but the
mice were "struck off the books" long
ago, In the early days of submarines
mice were carried in them as a kind
of danger gauge. Their duty—and
they performed it faithfully -was to
Sur begin squeaking as soon as poison-
ous fumes escaped inside the boat.
Being more sensitive to these than
Et men are, the mice could detect the
fumes much sooner than the other
emembers of the crew could. There-
fore, a close watch upon the little
animals used to be kept. As soon as
p they showed signs of distress up shot
the boat and open went her conning-

what "life aboard" is like, and he

try it for yourself you would soon
fall to wondering what he would
deem "all wrong" if he found this
sort of life "all right." As a matter
of fact, the "submariner" has about
the most uncomfortable time of any

Water From a Tree. -
At Mount Lowe, Cal., the thirsty
visitor has only to turn on a faucet
projecting from a large tree near the
hotel and water begins to flow. No
water pipes are to be seen, and cnelo-
sity is aroused at once. The louver
part of the tree is hollow, and the
pipes are run underground and up
through the hollow part to a knot -hole
where a faucet is attaches!. Around
the faucet the hole is plugged up with
cement which , looks like the tree it-
self.

Although you can discern but lite

who were "on deck" have dropped

for moving about. A man may bet
at the tanks, he may be at the tubes,
or he may be at any other of the'
stations, bub wherever he be there he'
must stop with his whole mind eon

him. Some boats have a tiny cabin'
