He was seeing the ruin of his hopes for you. He meant you to be a great roan in the district. Then MeNab began talking to him.

"Where's Oonal?" he asked. "Does anybody know if he's left the town yet?" There was a roar of laughter. "He was looking for you an hour ago, Davey," a drunken youngster yelled gaily. "Was in here, 'n McNab gave him a turn about the School- master's girl—" • "MeNab was tellin' lem you'd made- up to marry her. You should have heard Conal go off," somebody shouted, "Where is he?" There was a sharp- ness about Young Davey's. question that nobody liked. "Who? MeNab?" "No, Conal!"

Peeled sweet potatoes are placed with the roast, and next to the potatoes are placed apples, which are somewhat tart. The apples should be cored, then stuffed with roils of thin- ly sliced bacon. The casserole is then placed in a moderate oven where the food will -cook slowly while the family attends church. On their return from church, the casserole is placed in the heating. oven over the top of the range, leaving the •oven for the coni- pletion of the pie.
