There he finds himself surrounded by a crowd of police- men. He's been too busy looking for Adoreen to worry about traf- eic signals. When an officer starts to arrest him, Angus starts swing- ing. A well -aimed nightstick ends he plot, ADDIE ADDS HER B!T CHAPTER IV When Angus wakes up, his head feels like a concrete mixer and the knuckles on his fists faintly resemble sirloin steaks. He opens ;his eyes and looks around. Then ice closes them again and remem- bers a lot of sirens and police ears and more uniforms than lie ever saw in one place before in all his life. Angus is thinking how nice it would be if he were iu Caleb, just driving his truck and seeing Adoreen a couple times a week and— Then he remembers that Ado- reen isn't working at Herbie s Curbside Cafe any more and that probably right, at this moment, while be is wasting time in a jail cell, she is being pursued by some Smooth -stalking heel. Doubtless the heel has a moustache. The vision is too much for An - gm. He jumps up and notices for the first time the gnard scowling at. him through the bars. This guard is not a pleasant looking night. He has a neck that would be more becoming on a rhinoceros and he has a club in Ms hand. The ,man is not quite as big as Angus, tut he is the best the New York police department could dig up on ehort notice. ea's FINE CUT Down at Willow Creek in the foot- hills ranching country of South- western Alberta,tho Streeter Brothers are famous throughout the West for their fine Hereford beef stock and the wild-eyed Brah- eaan cattle they raise for rodeos.

Angus is confused. "I don't wanta fight any more. I fret want to get out." "Sure. Remind me in 1080. Meanwhile the inspector wants to see you. He's waitin'. Better come peaceful." couple of policemen!. 1,00k at tbir amo'b 3n here, Every one tot theca was mixed up in that riot. They're all stere except the two that re, signed and the three that ain't out of the hospital yet." Angus looks eromd •and smiles •at the cops, but his :smile freezes when he sees that most of them have bandages on their faces and several of them are tveari>lg [lark glasses. 'Too bad," he n)tu'mtire sympathetically. "I haven't time to •,describe all your crimes in one afternoon," says the inspector, "but I can gave you a rough idea. You aro charged with speeding, driving without an inter -state license, stealing a, truek and butter valued at $650, going through more stop- lights than I thought we had in New York and resisting an obiter plural. Now maybe you'dlike to start from the beginning to ex- plain." a m « So Angus starts from the begin- ning, which !s Adoreen. He talks for half an hour while the news- paper reporters are busy writing. When be is finihed, the inspector tells him that Mr. Wittenbaum, his boss in C•aieb, reported the theft of his truck and his butter, that the trooper in the neighbor- ing state has a distinct grudge against him for the butter bath, that every police force east of the Mississippi has been looking for Angus and a truck that drips with melted butter and that if the in- spector lets him go . the United States will probably send an army • of occupation into Manhattan, Even Angus can see there is no sense in arguing with this individ- nal. So after he is back in his cell he just lies down on. his bunk and thinks how nice it would be if Adoreen had married hini and if she weren't so impulsive, And then he goes to sleep and has a nightmare about Adoreen Mickle- twidge sitting at a table and drink- ing rinking hard cider while a lot of oily millionaires in monkey suits are pinching her cheeks and offering her cigarettes. which she smokes. , * >i< " When Angus eaters Inspector Callahan's office, the room is full of cops and leen with cameras and guys who take one look A at .A.ugus lashlight and start writing.. •bull) goes off about .a foot from his face, and Angus dives for the cameraman wbo locks himself in the inspector's washroom and re- fuees to come out. A dozen officers pile on Angus and burl him in a chair. After a couple of minutes, Angus figures out that the gray-haired man with th.e iron jaw and the ruddy face, who is glaring at him from behind the desk is inspector Callahan. "So you're Ant us :t2aePhillips?" says the inspector, and he looks Angus up and down. "Yes, sir," says Angus. "Glad to meet you, sir." He waits and nothing happens, so he says, "Nice day, isn't it?" "It w•as,"barked the inspector. "Now, Mr. MacPhlllip, can you tell me, if I'm not imposing on you, just what in hell you thought you were doing this morning?" "I was looking for my girl and a couple of policemen ,stopped me." Inspector Callahan explodes. "A acidly, "Of amuse :not, jailht$$ den't read Mere -- .or do they!

Danein' in a ehorus, or something. Adoreen is scornful. "Oh, that. It was gone when. 1 got there.. Anyway, 1 wouldn't have taken it. It was in a burlesque show." Angus is shocked, but he says, "Look, Addie, when 1 get outa b ere—" Inspector Callahan motions to the guard. "She can't waist that long, MacPhillips—even if she wanted to—which she doesn't. Now that Miss Miekletwidge has told you what she wanted to say, yo may as well go back and pon- der on your sins until the court can set aside a week or so to han- dle all the charges agaiust you." Angus gets the impression that Adoreen's eyes soften for a sec- ond, but when she speaks, he de- cides he is wrong, "Goodbye, Mr. MacPhillips," she says. "Since I don't make a habit of frequenting jails, I won't be seeing you again —I hope." * * Wheu Angus wales up he is in a cold sweat and the morning sun is coming through his little win- dow. The guard, whose name is Joe, is rattling his club along the bars. "For a guy what's got every broken law in the the books on his conscience you sure sleep like a bear. Come on, you're wanted in the inspector's ofiifiice." For a minute after he steps into Inspector's Callahan's office, Angus is mire he is still having his nightmare and then the idea slow- ly sinks in that the girl sitting next to the inspector's desk—the girl in the soft, silky brown dress with the white bubbly collar, and the sheer silk stockings and high - heeled shoes—is Adoreen !,Iickle- twidge, prettiest girl in Dipple- swink county. "Addie!" Angus gulps, "Gee, I was worried about you, Are you all right? I wt,s gonna—" But Adoreen's eyes are burning like chunks of hor steel ingots. "My name is not Addie," she says. "To you it is Miss Mlekletwi,dge— you low -clown heel, you smasher - of -careers, y o u thick - headed, brainless whelp, you—" "W h a t Miss , ickletwidge means," interrupts the inspector, "is that she has no further need for your protection and that her chief ambition at tate moment is to see that you be kept safely be- hind bars for a century or two." "But Addie," Angus pleads. "Yon know how I feel about you, I thought you needed in to look after you."

Qetsometoday! p * « After he gets back to his cell, Angus is lonelier than he has ever been before. He wonders if he can smash the bars, and then he is ashamed of himself because Joe trusts him so. He doesn't know that the bull-necked jailer has an arsenal handy just a couple of yards from Angus' cell. Also, Angus is very tired and, since he has lost both Adoreen and his job, there is uo particular point in getting out. He leans his tre- mendous frame against the wall and scowls at the floor. In the afternoon, he asks the jailer to play double solitaire with him, so Joe stuffs some brass knuckles and a six-shooter in his pocket and brings a couple of decks of cards into the cell. After supper, Angus sits on his bunk and chews;a stick of gum until the lights go out. Then he rolls in and manages to get some sleep. Joe is yelling his name when he conies to. It is morning again, and for a minute he thinks he is back in Pop Wergenheinter's hotel in 11loosehart and Pop is waking him up to drive the truck back to Caeb. But when Angus sees the guard's face, he remembers where he is and grunts unhappily. "Get up, MacPilillips," Joe is yelling. "There's a dame to see you. She's in the inspector's of- fice.' Angus glares at Joe. Adoreen said yesterday she wasn't going to see him again—ever: And there isn't any other girl° in the whole city of New York who knows him. "What's iter name, Joe?" Angus ashs. "A. Miss Margate — and hurry up. I've been yelling et you for five minutes." Angus looks at Joe and then scratches his head. There is some- thing funny here. He doesn't know any"Miss Margate. (Continued next week) Fisherman's Luck "Fisherman's luck," according to Samuel N dily, professor of zo- ology* at the University of Min- nesota, is a negligible factor in fishing as compared with knowl- edge of fish feeding habits, methods of fond detection, and seasonal changes. Welting in a recent issue of the Minnesota department of conser- vation's official bulletin, Eddy ex- plained that fish such as bass, sunfish, crappies and bullheads eat abort one-tenth their body weight per day during the sum- mer, and that when this capacity has been reached, a fish will take little to no food the next 24 hours. Walleye pike, he said, feed more after sunset and northern • pike often stop feeding at suuset. "Fish usually feed became they are • hungry, although some strike because they are pugnacious," Ed' dy said, "For example, a male bass strikes at any moving object near its nest although it does not eat anything at this time." All fish, he said, consume more food in summer than in winter, -and in almost all fish growth is slower iu winter than in summer. Water temperature is the chief factor in determining amount of food taken and growth, Eddy ex- plained, TABLE TLS By SAME B. CHAMBERS Saitmer Beverages As we consider the subject of beverages, immediately we think of the much talked of topic that of "Tea Rationing." Fortunately it is summer and many ideas pre- sent themselves to our minds. As we acquire the habit of some of the other beverages may we also acquire the habit of being able to do without that cup of tea, which in the end may be more healthful. Iced Chocolate Milk Mix equal parts of chilled milk and prepared cocoa as for drink- ing. Add a teaspoonful of maple syrup or caramel syrup. Shake thoroughly. Add one teaspoon of maple ice cream in an iced coffee glass. Serve with a spoon. Or try this—Place a large tea- spoon of vanilla ice cream in an iced tea or coffee glass; add 'k, cup of milk, then pour in ginger ale to fill the glass, stirring all the while. Drink at once. Flavor iced milk with maple sugar, with brown sugar, or with melted chocolate peppermints. Heat large chocolate mints in the upper part of the double boiler. When melted stir into the milk. Mint Punch 1 cup chopped fresh •mint leaves 1 cup powdered sugar 1.2 cup lemon juice 4 cups orange juice 1 quart gingerale Crushed ice and. mint sprigs Rub the mint leaves and sugax together until well mixed. Add lemon and orange juice. Allow to stand for at least 15 minutes in a cold place. Strain and add the gingerale. Pour into glasses half full of cracked ice. Garnish each glass with mint sprigs. Wedding Punch 4 cups sugar 2 cups orange juice 2 cups lemon juice 2 cups pineapple punch 1 pint bottle maraschino cherries Ice 2' quarts charged water Combine sugar and fruit juices and let stand until the sugar is dissolved. Add the cherries and ice. Just before serving add the fizzing water. Garnish with slices of orange and lemon. Serves 30. Spanish Chocolate 4 squares of unsweetened chocolate 2 cups water teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons sugar 6 Cups milk 1 shake nutmeg 1 shake cinnamon % teaspoon vanilla Cut chocolate into pieces. Place in double boiler over hot water. When melted add sugar, salt, cin- namon and nutmeg. Place oyez direct heat, stirring constantly, and boil 5 minutes. Return to double boiler and continue to cook the chocolate as long as you can. . Slowly add the milk a little at a time, stirring constantly. When the chocolate becomes completely heated beat it vigorously with a rotary beater. Add vanilla. Foam and froth will form — this will give it lightness. Then serve and there will be many calls for sec- onds. Do not serve heavy sweet cakes or frosted cakes with this. Were is a chance to be patriotic. Serve light salted wafers or plain sand- wiches, The long cooking of the choco- late, spices and the beating are important. Lists War Aims Of United Nations The joint statement of Roose- velt and Churchill, knownas the Atlantic Charter, Look observes, lists the war aims of the United Nations. They are, briefly: No •possession, of territories by force. Freedom and self-government for all. Equal access by all to raw Materials, Improved standards of Jiving for the world. Peace and freedom of the seas, Collective *amity against aggression. Sows' Ears Make Good. Silk Purses Who says you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear? The women members of Bundles for America challenge the old saying. A look at the products of their sewing rooms in their 25O branches scattered throughout the United States shows it can be done. There's a windbreaker, made of leather scraps from old purses. And a child's raincoat and hood made from a shower curtain, de- corated with red rubber flowers cut front an old pair of rubber gloves. Children's bedroom slippers are made from men's old felt hate. For buttons, the women use wooden rounds sawed front broom- stick handles, crocheted fasten- ings, shells and buttons cut from bones from the butcher's. Bundles for America, with a 250,000 membership, now sends some 10,000 garments a weak to the Navy Relief Society for dis- tribution to needy families of United States service men. Their next concern is the cloth- ing of the 5,000,000 migrants who are in need of help in mid -western states. Their nothing, terials.
