Then she learned from the boy that he Loved her, but was to marry another girl, Gertrude Keane. When they started to leave, the door was locked. While trying to escape, they encountered two men, bootlegger gangsters, who, fearing Sheila and Peter know too much, kid- napped them. When they were re- leased two days later, Sheila's family was skeptical of her story. Her brother, Joe, produced a telegram, which read:— "Peter and I married here.—Sheila." She had begged the gangsters to assure her family of her safety and this telegram was the re- sult. When she denied they were married, her family was shoaled. Sheila had just declared she would leave her home forever when Frank McCann, Peter's elder brother, ap- peared. He explained that he and Joe had given a marriage announce- ment to the newspapers as the best way out of a difficult situation. The next day Judge and Mrs. McCann proposed that Peter and Sheila marry. Sheila runs away and gets a job as a waitress at an Atlantic City hotel, and Frank McCann ap- pears suddenly and persuades her to fly back to New York with him. The plane crashes. Sheila looked up. The door or the McCann house opened, a flood of persons poured out; servants, family nd . the=}leaded stout,. •loan that he was afterward to -identify as the roily ,doctor, ::4nd. with ...them was Toe Carscaden — Joe! — and while Sheila was stumbling upward to the lighted wide hallway, half dragging Frank with her, and half dragged herself, she saw her mother, majestic In her best dress— Then they were all crying and mill- ing madly in the hall. Sheila saw Mrs. McCann, with her face white and tearstained, and she saw the judge, looking somehow old and broken. She caught at his hand.

"Put your arm around him there, Leo. All right, Mary. Hurting you, son?" "It's my arm, look out for my arm —" Frank muttered, and the moth- er's moan was distinguishable above the other moans that suddenly filled the hall.

His sturdy roan horse showed signs of long tra- vel, for the horseman had just com- pleted an arduous trip into the town from a ranch away out in the foot- hills 30 miles west. Naturally, the rider's first move was to inquire of a stranger the lo- cation of the nearest livery stable?" mused the town resident, and subse- quent investigation revealed that there was not a single livery stable left in High River. Tragedy was averted by accom- modating the weary horse for the night in a small barn behind a local residence. But what has happened to the wild and woolly west when even High River—second only to Calgary as a cowtown in•years past—cannot boast a single livery stable? The wild west has certainly tamed down a lot when a "puncher can't even find a night's lodging for his horse." The gasoline filling station has evidently usurped the place of the last fragrant livery stable, and the west of the pioneers is fast be- coming a thing of In.emory.--Cal- gary Albertan.

The snap bean crop is estimated at G7• per cent. greater than last year's, the June pea crop is rated at 71 per cent. higher. To that good news add this little fact—these vegetables are among the good vitamin and mineral group. Snap beans are rich in calcium and vitamin A, a good sourceof iron, phosphorus and vitamin 0, and a fair source of vitamin B. Peas are a rich source far pellagra -preventing fax - tors. Select only snap beans with pods of uniform size. They will cook evenly. 'Get pods that are fresh, bright green, clean and free from blights. Avoid dull, wilted looking beans. If the pods snap easily, they are good „buys. Avoid the croaked ones and those too sharply pointed. Peas should have bright green pods, be velvety, anti fresh looking. Plat, dark green pods mean old ones. Yellow is the color of age in a, pea, too` Peas, remember, deteriorate faster, than snap beans because oi� theit sugar content. The sugar' changes rapidly into starch and thee!' delicate pea flavor ib then lost • to.! ; if the peas must, be kept uniform be -1 fore cooking keep them in a cool, place, so as to slow down this sugar change as much as possible. 'Follow these four rules for cook- ing both beans and peas if you want to get all their flavor and value. First, cook in a minimum of water. Second, cook in an uncovered pan, so as to keep them green. Third, have' the water slightly salted, boiling boisterously when you put vegetabres so as to cut down cooking time. Fourth, consider the vegetable cook- ed when there is still some body. firmness to it. The . average cools' overcooks both peas and beans. Re.' member this—after going into the! boiling water there is a difference iii cooking method for each—peas should! be simmered, beans boiled. If you are canning either peas or snap beans, the pressure cooker` should be used, for both these vege-1 tables are in the non -`cid group for which any other type of canning is downright dangerous, according to a recent agricultural report. School Homework Few problems have been more dee bated than that of homework for school children. As a consequence, foolish things have been said on both sides of the subject. The British,' in •tueir' cnacateristic. 'way, have taken hold of the question, made it the subject ;01' a report by the. Board of Education—a repoxt made out by teachers and inspectors. The report recoimnends that there should be no homework for element- ary school children under 12, not more than one hour a day for those between 12 and 14, and 1% hours for those between 14 and 16. To the extent that it is' possible to draw a line anywhere, this seems fairly sensible. It is not necessarily, bad, of course, for a boy or girl to study in the home as well as in the classroom; sometimes, indeed, the work done at home may be more valuable. It Iargely depends on the total number of hours worked, and also on the age of the child.—Ottawa Journal.
