HARRIS-BURLAND CHAPTER X.--(Cont'd,) "Really, Ardington," laughed Tre- horn. "If we weren't such old fatends 8661 "It's that which hurts ;nle. We are old friends, and you've not played the game, I've known this -•-for some days. Why, you fool, you drove a woman to Dedbury station in your ear that night, She took a first-class ticket to London. She was wearing a sable coat and a sort of toque with red feathers in it." "My dear fellow: "I've made inquiries, and fortun- ately I made them before the police thought of doing'so. There was only r one man on duty at the station that About the House STIMULATE DIGESTION WITH BRAN. Ono of the first steps in analyzing our daily diet is to check up on the amount of roughage we are eating. To keep digestive tract in the prime of condition, Nature demands that we eat a goodly supply of bulky foods, especially those containing a residue. These foods assist in stimulating the excretion of all digestive juices along the canal through which it passes and are thus conducive of a normal elim- ination of bodily waste. When the family begins to get grouchy and they get up in the morn- ing with the pink faded from their cheeks, try feeding them some of these good things made of bran, and watch the results. Bran Muffins -1h cup sugar, short- ening size of egg, 1 egg, 1 cup sour (or sweet) milk, 1 cup bran, 1}I4 cups flour, 1 level teaspoon soda (or'2' tea- spoons baking powder if sweet milk is used), pinch of salt. Cream shorten- ing and sugar together. Mix and sift dry ingredients: This will make twelve large muffins. Steamed Bran Pudding -3 table- spoons beef suet or any preferred fat, 3 cup molasses, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup bran, 3i cup milk, 1 cup. flour, 3 teaspoon soda, 1 cup dates, stoned and cut fine. Melt suet and mix with molasses, milk and egg well beaten. Sift flour, salt and soda to- gether. Add one cup of bran and combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir into the batter one cup of dates, ston- ed and eut-up fine, turn into buttered cups, having cups half full. Steam one hour. If steamed in one large mold, three hours' cooking is required. Serve with hard sauce or lemon sauce. Bran Nett and Raisin Bread—i/4 cup: brown sugar, 1 cup milk, 1 cup - our, 1 . cup bran, '/' cup Water, 1 cup English walnut meats (cut in. slides), 1' cup molasses, 2 teaspoons of. baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ' cup raisins.' Mix ,in the order given, sifting hour, baking powder and salt. Add raisins and nut' meats dusted well with flour. Pour into buttered bread pan, having pan three-quarters full. Bake slowly two hours or longer. Nut meats may be omitted. Bran Doughnuts -132 cups bran, 7./ cups flour, 1 tablespoon butter or lard, 1' egg, 2 teaspoons= of baking powder, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/z cup milk, 1 teaspoon. salt. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg well beaten. `Mix and sift dry ingredients and add to the first mixture. Roll on a floured board. Cut with a doughnut cutter.

It's not very wholesome, you know, and we have all got toan age when we study our digestions. Perhaps, just lately, out of curiosity, men have asked for it.

S A LESSON IN TIDINESS. - Even though my little girls had a closet all their own in which to hang their clothes, they quite often left them lyingaround on chairs, on the bed or even on the floor. This in spite of my frequent reminders that untidi- ness is a most distressing habit. - I hit upon a plan that has solved the problem satisfactorily; in fact, I never have to pick their clothes up now. I bought several wooden hang - 1 ers, ,a can of blue and a can of pink enamel, a can of shellac and a small brush. I let the girls watch me make those plain hangers into wonderfully attractive things with the enamel. When they were, dry I cut from old magazines tiny heads and figures. On the hangers for party dresses I pasted fairy figures and butterflies. On the hangers for , coats I pasted winter scenes, On the ones for play dresses I pasted appropriate figures. There was even a hanger for the nightie, with the figure of the eunningest sort of a sleeping baby pasted on. I gave all the hangers a coat of shellac and to one girl I gave all the pink hangers and to the other all the blue, ones. It's fun now for them to hang their garments each on the proper hanger.—M. H.

Later on they made their way into the smoking -room, a lofty but not over -spacious apartment. There were very few men in it. Most of them had either left the club or had gone upstairs to the billiards and card rooms. Sir Alexander Bradney was sitting near the fire, he said. "Ilullo, Herningay," "Haven't seen you for quite a time." "I've been down In Kent, Do you know Garwick. no? Well, .you ought to know him—Bob Garwiek, the con,. ing Lord Mayor of London.

"Yes—always tits by himself if he can manage it, Doesn't like to talk at meals, you know. But if you get hold of him in the smoking room he'll chat quite pleasantly." " Bob- Garwick glanced across the vast dining -room of the Chatham Club and saw Sir Alexander's head. bent over his food. He saw the -face in profile, -and at its worst. . "Looks like a fighter," he said. "You know Lady Anne's solicitors' have briefed him in that little case of hers:" ` "Yes, I know. Absurd I call it. He probably won't turn up. Any newly fledged barrister could polish off that job for her. . He'll pocket his fees and he won't turn up." "Doesn't look like an invalid," said Garwick. Lord Hemingway made no reply. The dining -room was more than half empty, and the tables near to him were vacant. But the atmosphere of the club, one of the oldest and stateli- est in London, was such as to make men speak in whispers. The murmur of conversation in the great room was scarcely audible. Dinner at the Chatham was not occasion for mirth and laughter. "Like dining in a tomb," Bob Garwick had said at the com- mencement of the meal. But the food was magnificent, and the cellar was. the best in London. One could not get into the Chatham before one was forty and able to appreciate good wine. No smoke of cigar or cigarette"' ever rose up to the dull gold and buff of the ceiling. That might have spoilt the flavor of the wine. "You shall dine with me next week at my little pot -house," said Garwick after a pause, during.wlrichhe felt he 4488.
