THE "ETERNAL SNOWS."
A Gigantic Snowslide is an Awe
inspiring Spectacle.

thrills at the tremendous spectacle
and feols as never before his own in-
significance. In the, Rocky Mountains
of central Colorado, Mr. Enos A. Mills,
who was acting as government "snow
observer," witnessed the violence and
grandeur of a large snowslide at
thrillingly close range.
The slide broke loose and "ran" —
more correctly, plunged—by me, down
a frightful slope, says the naturalist.
Everything before it was overwhelmed
and swept down. At the bottom of
the slope it leaped in fierce confusion

THIRD EPISODE—(Oont'd.)
And allthe time Pat was becoming
more expert. Her associations with
Jacques resulted in her cleverness bee
ing repeatedly praised among the
Apaches at Cafe Chat Noir,
"She would make a wonderful leader
for us," would be Jacques' comment
every time he could introduce the sub-
ject to one of the band. 4PcSre should
make her Queen of the Underworld,
that's what we should do."
One day there came a telephone call
for sleuth Kelly from the chief of the
Parisian detective force, The robbery
of a famous art collector's treasures
had been the latest achievement of the
mysterious thief. A painting of fabul-
ous value had been out from ita
frame, and all Paris was agog with
the boldness and, cunningof the. crime.
We want you to help us on this
theft of the Mona Lisa," said the chief
or detectives, to Kelly, over the phone.
"I'll do my best to help you," was
Kelly's brief comment.
Impelled by a suspicion he could not
set at rest the Sphinx called up Mrs.
Van Nuy»' home and asked for Pat,
When the girl answered Kelly tried to
be myeterious in his opening remarks,
but Pat was undeceived,
"This is Kelly the great detective, I
am sure," said theirl, and the little
iaugh that she sent over the phone
rritated the 'Sphinx.
"Possibly not great'' he replied,
emery edged running water and the•
undermining thaw of spring sent
thundering downward with ten thou-
sand varying echoes a half million tons
of snow, ice and stones.
Head on the vast mass came to-
ward me. It threw off masses . of
snowy spray and agitated, confused
whirlwinds of snow dust. I was
watching from the top of a precipice.
Below, the wide, deep canon was filled
with fleecy clouds—a bay from a sea
of clouds beyond. The slide shot
straight for the cloud -filled abyss and
took with it several hundredbroken
trees from an alpine grove that it
wrecked just above the precipice.
This swift -moving monster disturb-
ed the air, and cyclonic winds flung
me headlong as the snow tore by me
with rush and roar. I rose in time to
see the entire mass of wreckage de-
flected a few degrees upward as it
shot far out over the precipice. A riot-
ing acre of rock fragments, broken
trees, shattered icebergs and masses
of dusting snow hesitated momentar-
ily in the air; then, separating—rocks,
splintered trees and snow—fell whirl-
ing, hurtling and scattering, with
varying velocities, into the white bay
beneath. There was no sound as they
fell into and disappeared beneath the
agitated sea of clouds. How strange
that noiseless fall was) A few sec-
onds later, as the wreckage reached
the bottom of the gulch, there came
from beneath the silent surface of
mist a reverberating but muffled
crash,
The Wrong Inference.
A young and enthusiast:c teacher
was trying his utmost to convey his
ideh of. pity to his class.
Said the teacher:
"Now,.supposing a man was work-
ing on a river, and suddenly fell into
the water. His wife, hearing his
screams, and knowing full well his
peril, rushed immediately to the bank.
Why did she rush to the batik?"
There was a dramatic pause. Then
a small voice piped out:
"Please, sir, to draw his insurance
money!"

that she might have made a mistake.
"I was only fooling," she made haste
to add, in the hope of diverting Kelly
from her real purpose. "The truth is
I am not feeling well, and will" not be
able to leave the house at all this eve-
ning."
Kelly expressed his regrets,"and af-
ter a few trifling pleasantries the
Sphinx ended the conversation.
Abruptly turning to one of his men,
Kelly commanded:
"Skip down_to the Chat Noir and see
if the Apaches are expecting anything
extra to -night". And the man made
haste to obey. .Kelly waited impa-
tiently for his man to return, and final-
ly his vigil was rewarded.
"They are making great prepara-
tions for a big time, boss," said the de-
tective" "I learn they are going to
crown some woman 'Queen of the Un-
derworld.' ".
"Such being the case, we must be
present at the ooronatien," said Kelly.
And the Sphinx, with several gend-
armes,:was watching from every place
the men could hide themselves along
the street that led to Cafe Chat Noir,
just as soon as dusk fell and the un-
derworld began to start upon its night-
ly pilgrimage of crime anddebauchery.
In the• sewers that formed a net-
work underground, there were other
gendarmes readyrto pounce u on the
unwary at Kelly's prearranged signal.
Men and wemen singly, in couples
and in groups, came down the street,
singing and chattering in utter disde-
gard of the amount of disturbance
they created,
As the evening 'wore along the
crowd within and without Cafe Chat
Noir grew more numerous and accord-
ingly more boisterous. -
It was near the midnight hour, when
Kelly's sentinels passed the sign along
CIO something unusual was on the
way. Down the street dashed a cab
at reckless speed and halted abruptly
at the entrance of the Chat Noir.
Kelly's quick eyes saw a slight fig-
ure descend from the cab. The form
was dressed jauntily in high boot and
tights, that encased a limb so shape-
ly that Kelly was certain that the
new arrival was,not a man, Over the
shoulders of the figure swung a cape
that was caught in front by dainty
white hands—and across the top of the
face a mask of purple silk.
"The Queen of the Underworld,"
Kelly exclaimed under his breath.
"We shall be in at the coronation."
Without halting to speak to anyone,
the figure in the long cloak and pur-
ple mask entered the cafe.

OBSERVATIONS.
Nothing that God has made is com-
monplace, -.
A man's soul is the measure of
his usefulness.
Upon an ample food supply with
careful conservation and economic dis-
tribution may depend the safety of
this country and the preservation of
democracy.
Most troubles never happen; any-
way, worry is especially trying in hot
weather, And it is so easy to scowl,
grumble and slam,things when one is
busy and tired; but this is wasting
nerve force and energy.
"Never put off until to -morrow that
which can be done to -day," but there
are many things that would be the
better for waiting. The hasty letter,
written in anger, which we long to re-
call; the bitter word to a loved one;
the slighting remark, the unkind criti-
cism—all could be put off until to-
morrow, for you know to -morrow
never comes.
Many are conscious of— the thorn
who never see the rose. Every trouble
that comes our way teaches us a les-
son, if we only take it so that it helps
us mount to higher ,ehipgs. True,
sometimes we can not see how good
could come to us through some partic-
ular trial, but in after years we can
look back and see that it was all good.
God who "seeth all things" knows
what is best for us and "He doeth all
things well."

FAR-FLUNG"BATTLE LINES.
Only Small Fraction of Earth's Sur-
face Outside War Area.
A day when all the world should' be
at war has often been the subject of
sensational fiction, and those who pro-
fess to read the riddles of prophecy
have often prognosticated it; but to-
day it is practically an accomplished
fact. It is surprising_h ve little- - of
the world is not diiectly involved in
this stupendous conflict.
Six -sevenths of Europe is in the x wa•

dinavia, Denmark, and "Holland are
out of it. Yet Europe, the very cen-
tre of the vast upheaval, is not as

When buying foods during the hot

sible, such foods as are affected by the
heat, Food taken from a cool store
or refrigerator, then carted around for

liable to develop the germs that cause
ptomaine poisoning, without affect -

Do not use, as cooking utensils,
enamel or porcelain pots or pins

Use More Corn -Meal.
Corn -meal is a cheap. and nutritious
cereal which deserves more attention.
Into one quart of water which is
boiling rapidly, sprinkle gradually one
cupful of corn -meal, stirring it vigor-
ously all the while, and add salt to
taste. If your family is large double
the recipe. Cook it hard for half an
hour, beating it thoroughly every few
moments. It can then be transferred
to the fireless cooker, where it should
cook not less than four hours, or it
can be cooked in a double boiler on
the back of the stove until supper -
time. The secret of good mush, or
"hasty pudding," is the long, slow
cooking. The hot mush, servedwith
milk, is an excellent supper dish, or
may be reheated for the breakfast
cereal.
Corn -meal mush with dates: A good
and wholesome dish much liked by the
children. Ten minutes before serv-
ing stir one cupful of stoned and
halved dates into hot mush. Serve
with milk or thin cream.
Corn -meal with cheese is an excel-
lent substitute for meat: Butter a
baking -dish, put in a two-inch' layer of
hot mush, over this one cupful of
cheese cut_in small pieces, then anoth-
er two-inch layer of mush. Dot the
top with butter and sprinkle with a
few dry bread crumbs. Brown in a
hot oven.
Indian pudding: use five cupfuls of
milk, one-third cupful of meal, half a
cupful of molasses, one teaspoonful of
salt (level), one teaspoonful of ginger
(level), and butter the size of an egg.
Cook meal and milk twenty minutes
in a double boiler, add other ingredi-
ents, and bake two hours. Serve hot
with cream and maple syrup.

bing on the bottoms of irons will be
found in- the inside wrapper of bat'

you do beeswax.

ery. Every housekeeper's main

TOMMY TO THE RESCUE.
Tiow He Risked Punishment in Doing
a Kindly Act.
How Tommy—by no other name
known to fame—came to the rescue of
a hungry infant and a distressed mo-
ther in a 'metropolitan subway ear le
r
the theme of an incident deet ibed in
the ,few York Herald. Somewhat
condeneed, it runs as follows:
The mother opened a small wicker
bag and drew forth a bottle, the
slightly gray oolor of which' indicated
that it had formerly contained milk,
She gave it to tho infant who, after
two lusty intakes, discovered the de-
ception that had been practiced upon
him and went up two octaves in his
roaring. On all sides looks of dis-
tress began to appear in the eyes of
the passengers.
At about this time a young man of
eleven years came into the limelight.
All that is known of him is that his
first name was Thomas. He broke the
side of a large paper bag that rested
between him and an 'eight-year-old
companion and drew £orth a pint bot-
tle of milk. He looked bashfully at
the troubled mother opposite, and
when she glanced at him be held the
bottle up, and nodded the question:
"Want it?"
Two minutes later the only unusual
noise in the ear was a gurgle; the
baby was still "going strong" when
the car reached Ninety-sixth Street.
&,No sooner had the older boy re-
gained his seat after doing )his good
turn, than his little companion whis-
pered in awe:
"Say, Tommy, you'll git kilt!"
The answer to that was immediate.
An, elderly man at Tommy's right
turned the boy's hand flat and put a
quarter into it, and the smiling mo-
ther tossed ten cents at his feet. The
boy immediately returned the ten
cents to the infant's mother, but,
for some strange psychological reason,
he kept the elderly man's quarter.

THE MUSIC THAT WAS HEARD.
Only Melody From the Heart Reaches
The Eternal Throne.
There is an old story about the
brothers in a monastery "somewhere
in. France" long ago. The monks
were beloved throughout the country-
side for their loving sympathy and
kind deeds; but as it happened, not
one of them could sing. Try as hard
as they would, the music in their ser-
vices was a failure; and it became a
great grief to them that only in their
hearts could they "make melody to the
Lord."
One clay, however, a travelling monk
came by and asked for entertainment;
and to the great joy of all the mon-
astery he proved to be a wonderful
singer. High and sweet and clear
his voice soared over all the other
voices. And one by one the rest of
the monks stopped singing to listen,
until finally the visiting brother sang
alone. No envy, however, filled the
hearts of the good brothers in the
monastery. Instead, they rejoiced with
each other that now at last they could
have beautiful music in their chapel
services, 'and they planned to keep
the traveller with them always.
But that night an angel came to the
abbot in a dream.
"Why was there no music in your
chapel, to -night?" he asked. "Up in
heaven we always listen for the
beautiful music that rises from the ser-
vices in your monastry; and tc-night
we were sadly disappointed."
"Oh, you must be mistaken," cried
the abbot. "Ordinarily we have no
music at all that is worthyof your
hearing; but to -night we had a trained
singer with a".wonderful voice. He
sang the service for us, and it was so
sweet that we all stopped to listen.
For the first time in all these years
our music was beautiful."
The angel smiled. "And yet, up in
heaven we heard nothing," he said
softly.
