He rams the truck Oreough a large French window ante Castaloni's gunroom. Caste - lord is standing in a doorway pointing, a gun at him. Adoreen sneaks up behind the racket chief and raises an iron skillet over his read, just as Casteioni swings Around. * * 1PEACH—IT'S WONDERFUL CHAPTER XII :It is undoubtedly the sight of that frying pan that unnerves Castaloni. He tries to duck as Adoreen swings the pan down on his head, but he is a little too late. The cast-iron utensil catches Seim on the back of the head just as he pulls the trigger of his gun. The bullet rips a hole in the rug, and in the next instant Ado - amen clips him behind the knees just as Angus shoves his fist into the rac'keteer's face. The Broccoli lying doesn't look a bit dangerous, iying there on the floor with his oyes closed and his breath com- ing in loud, even gasps. "Oh, . my goodness," says Ade - nen, with a pardonable touch of pride. "Look what I've done." "Gee whiz, Addie," Angus says, "you shouldn't have done it. You saved any life, but you mighta got hurt." "Now look here, Angus. If you think I was going to stand by and let this—this heel kill you, you've got another guess coming. You never did know how to take care of yourself." "I guess that's right, Addie. I guess I gotta' have you to look after me." Adoreen hesitates a second as if mho is going to melt, and then her ages snap back to normal. "Right -now we've got to do something u?boit this. Will that truck run?" "Sure. I guess so. I'll make It ran." * .r * Even Angus is a little surprised when the engine actually starts. %Ike front fenders are off, and the body of the truck is wrinkled up from stern to prow. With the Broccoli King stretched out next to his former henchmen in the back. of the truck, Angus, with Adoreen sitting next to him, man - k, • ages to back out of the gunroom. It is hard to understand how Angus gets that truck back as far as he does. Maybe the people who see him along the way just don't believe it. Or maybe they don't want to go fooling around with anything they are sure is supernatural. Anyway, it is not until after Angus and Adoreen have crossed back into Manhattan that they hear the wail of a siren over the rattle of loose tin. It makes no difference to Angus this time if a policeman wishes to converse with him, since he Is headed for In- spector Callahan's office anyway. So he pulls over to the curb and waits with a peculiarly clear con- science. What Angus isn't expecting is the gun this copper jerks out of his holster and points at him. He has seen enough guns for one day, and it doesn't make him feel any easier that this one has a blue uniform behind it. "Don't move! Just don't move!" the officer barks, and Angus can see that this member of the law is young and that this is prob- ably the first time he has pointed a gun at anyone. "Keep your hands up and come out of there both of you." * * * There isn't much choice, so Angus and Adoreen pile out with their hands pointing toward the sky. A lot of people who are passing by get interested and close in. Angus is annoyed. "Wait a min- ute, Officer. "You got this all wrong—" "Wrong, am I? I suppose the license number doesn't check with the report we got? I suppose you didn't steal this truck?" "Well, maybe I did, but—" The patrolman grips his gun tighter. "Okay. That's enough. I gotta warn you that you better keep your mouth shut, 'cause any- thing nything you say can be used against you." For the first time the cop looks at Adoreen carefully. "What's your name?" he asks Adoreen. Adoreen is quivering. "Adoreen Margate," she says, forgetting she has decided to be just plain Ado- reen Mickletwidge again. The cop takes a step back. "I thought so. Come over here, Miss "Rice Krispies" is a. regis- tered trade mark of Kellogg Company of Canada Limi- ted, for its brand of oven- poppedrice.Getsometoday$ Margate. Put your hands down, You're safe now. You must have had a terrible experience." He turns to somebody in the crowd. "Call Inspector Callahan. Tell him Officer Krinkeltold yen to call, and tell him to rush down here because Pre got a dangerous kidnapper covered," Angus suddenly Seas what Offi., ter Krinkel is driving at. "I didn t kidnap her, Officer," he protests. "You sec—" "Denying it, are you? That won't get you very far." "No, Officer," says Adoreen. "You don't understand. It wasn't this man—" Officer Krinkel pate her shoul- der and says, "Don't you worry, little lady. I know just how you feel. You're safe now. This crook won't hurt you anymore." i * * Angus and Adoreen are still arguing with Officer Krinkel and with two other cops who have come up when an avalanche of police cars come roaring up. In two seconds, the street is jammed -with policemen and detectives, and there are more Tommy guns aimed at Angus than the whole A. E. F. had in the Argonne. An gus is relieved to see Inspector Callahan. "Hello, Inspector," says Angus. "Make these fellows put their guns away. This is all a mistake."' A couple of husky patrolmen grab Callahan because it looks as if he is going to pitch forward in a dead faint. Then he pulls him- self together and looks murder- ously at Angus. "This is the end. I can't stand any more." He waves at some- one. "Call the Commissioner, Murphy. Tell hien I am resign- ing as of five" minutes ago." Adoreen walks over to Calla- han. "This is al] a mistake, In- spector. Angus didn't do any- thing, except maybe steal that truck." Callahan explodes. "Except steal that truck! Young lady, may I recite to you, as well as my shattered mind will permit, that section of New York state's criminal code which provides—" "I mean," says Adoreen, "he had to steal that truck. You see, some men were going to kill him, and they took him out in the country. So he had to beat them up a little, and then he had to steal the truck to get back." Callahan is still skeptical. "So he comes back and kidnaps you?" "No, Angus didn't do that. Mr. Fitzwater did. He's the pian who gave me the job at the Purple Pelican. Only his name isn't Fitzwater—it's Castaloni, and he's a crook." Callahan is getting interested. "Holy smokes! So it's Fitzwater. I always,thought there was some- thing phony about that guy. Birt how'd you get away?" "Well, that's .how Angus got the truck all smashed up," Ado- reen explains. "He came out to save me, and he had to drive the truck through the wall into Mr. Castaloni's house." "All right, boys hide 'em," Callahan orders. The officers put away their guns. "Now, Miss Mickletwidge, I'm beginning to get interested. Maybe this story is on the level. Anyway, we'll try to pick up Castaloni, now that, we know who he is, and question him." Angus leans against the truck. "You won't have to do that, In- spector," he says. "He's right here in the back of the truck. The three fellows who wanted to kill me are in there, too. They work for Mr. Castaloni." * * * In a flash, all the guns are out again, and they are pointed at the truck. Callahan grabs the doors and swings them open, and everybody jumps back. When they see the four squirming men, tied up neat as Christmas presents, they put their guns away. The Inspector jumps into the truck. Castaloni has revived and he is asking please to be taken to some safe jail where Angus can't get at him. Spike is also awake, and he is willing to answer a few pertinent questions. When the Inspector is finished with the racketeers, he gives some orders and looks around for Angus and Adoreen. He finds them standing in the shadow of a building on the sidewalk. Angus' arm is around Adoreen's slim waist, and they don't seem to be interested in any further techni- calities of the law. "I don't like to interrupt," says allahan in a kindly sort of gruff voice, "but Spike Mudge is ready to speak his piece, and something tells me Castaloni won't be hard to crack. Spike already told me enough to convince me that the broccoli racket is nipped in the bud. I hate to admit it, MacPhil- lips, but you did a pretty thorough job." Angus is flustered. "Aw) it ain't much, inspector. Addie here did most of it." "Just one more thing," the In- spector interrupts. ""j've been thinking, Mac?hillips, that if you're gonna be hanging around New York, I'd feel safer if I knew just where you were all the time. Now 1 know a few people around town, I can get you a good job. And after you satisfy the regi, - deuce requirement, maybe you can pass the exams and get on the farce: If you're gonna stick around, I'd just as soon have: you on our side. How about it?" "Gosh, Inspector," says Angus, 4"That sure is nice of you." He turns to Adoreen and reaches out for one of her hands. "Addie, do you suppose you couldmarry a guy what's gonna be a cop?" Adoreen looks up at Angus with a tenderness that makes even the hard-boiled Callahan blush, It is too bad that her smile is forever lost to the rest of the world. "I guess so, Angus," she mur- murs. "I guess if the New York police department can get used to,you, so can 1," THE END. TA LE1 SADIE B. CHAMBERS Substitutes For Meat t n As a patriotic duty we are asked to eat leg's meat—for finan- cial reasons many will find this necessary. No harm will come to anyone if those who prepare the meals are careful to substi- tute protein. It is the proper balance of protein in our diet that counts, not how much meat we eat or do net eat. Protein foods, as you know, are meat', eggs, peas, beans and cheese. Gelatine contains a little protein, as also does ,milk. Here are a few recipes which might help. Casserole of Vegetables Make alternate layers in a cas- serole of half a dozen thinly sliced raw potatoes, a small turnip, eut in cubes, half a pint of tinned peas and the same of tinned to- matoes, a sliced onion and two ounces of washed and uncooked rice; season as you go with salt, pepper and powdered allspice. Pour in a quart of good vege- table stock, and cook with a lid on in a slow oven until the rice is done, about 3 hours. Carrot Pie Cook 4 large carrots or their equivalent into small ones and while they are still hot cut them in slices and put in a greased pie - dish. Bring a pint of milk to the boil; stir into it a cup of bread crumbs seasoned with pepper and salt and 4 ounces of grated cheese, Mix with a well -beaten egg. Pour this over the carrots and brown in a moderate oven. Mould of Spinach Sieve a pound of cooked spin- ach and whip into a pint of lime or lemon jelly (prepared with jelly powder). Turn into a round buttered mould, putting a tumb- ler down the middle. When the spinach is set, take out the tumb- ler, which will be easy to do if you pour a little hot water into it. Fill up the space with chopped hard boiled egg mixed with salad dressing and seasoned with a little onion and celery. Turn out when set and garnish with ring of hard boiled egg. Cheese Tart Lino a small pie tin with rich crust and bake. When it is cold prepare the following: One-half pound of grated cheese, two well beaten egg yolks and three-quar- ters pint of cream or very rich milk. Season with salt, pepper and a touch of cayenne. Bake in oven for a quarter of an hour. The top will be a beautiful gold and the inside delicious. Cucumber Fritters Peel the cucumbers (large ones) and cut in one inch lengths. Remove the centre part and blanch the pieces in salted water. TEA; and coffee rationing does not appl-y, to Post uan.

Britain To Allot All Tea, Supplies The British Food Ministry plans to acquire all available tea sup- plies and make distribution to Em- pire countries in proportion to their requirements, it was announ- ced recently by H. B. McKinnon, president of the Commodity Prices Stabilization Corporation. Before the war Canada import- ed an average of 42,000,000 pounds of tea annually from Cey- lon, India, the Netherlands East Indies, China, Formosa and Japan. At present Canada's only sources of supply are Ceylon and Indra, which in normal tinges provided 70 per cent. of the world's ea -- and both of these countries :now are in war zones.
