SWEET CHARITY
By
Carroll C. Lansing
They would pull the car out of the
.siding at four in the afternoon. It
-would be attached to the train and
on its way, not to be opened until'it
reached the ship-yard terminal three
pr four days later. By the time they
(discovered Banwood's body under the
'bales in the far end, he, Murdock,
would have a long start.

It did

or as he entered another. For Pat
McGinnis was a plain-clothes man
and a friend of Banwood. Murdock
unlocked the frosted glass door that
bore the legend Banwood & Murdock
— Hides and Furs. Everything in
the combination office and storeroom
was as he had left it that morning.
Banwood’ had gone at the same time
— by way of the freight elevator,
neatly sewed into the middle of a
burlap-covered bale of hides, the back
of his head bashed in.
Murdock hurriedly opened the safe
and withdrew a thick packet of cash
previous^' taken from their joint ac-.
count in preparation for an extended
buying trip in the country. To this
he added another thick roil from Ban
wood’s wallet. He snarled when he
counted it. So Banwood had been
holding out on him—the dirty crook!
To the pile he added still another,
sheaf of currency, the remainder of
the bank account withdrawn by him
self that day.
This all represented quite a
little fortune, enough to sustain
in modest retirement abroad
some time. He put

to tug and push it
When he straightened up he found
himself looking into the face of Mc
Ginnis. It was a singularly unbeauti-
ful face, topped with a derby hat and
decorated near the lower left hand
corner by the stub of an extinct
cigar.
“Hiya, Murdock," said the detect
ive genially, “Thought I’d come up
and chin with you for a little while.
How’s business?”
Murdock sank slowly into the chair
behind the desk, pretended to rear-,
range the papers on it. “We’ve been
pretty busy lately," he answered, “on
the jump ‘ every minute.” Without
looking up he fancied that the plain
clothes man’s eyes were resting curi
ously on the tin ,box.
“Going somewhere?” asked the de
tective.
"No, not right away, What made
you think so?” Murdock glanced sur
reptitiously at the clock. Would the
hands never come to four,?
“Noticed you had you hat on, that
was all,” said McGinnis. “But this
ain’t a very stylish office, so you pro
bably wear it all the time. I never
thought of that. Where’s Sam? Have
n’t seen him around today.”
“He started off last night on a buy
ing trip,” (Murdock answered.
“Must have made up his mind kind
of sudden,” said McGinnis. “He did
not say a word to me about it yes-'
terday.”
“He just decided last night.” Mur
dock stifled ’the panic rising within
him.
"He did tell me . somthing else,
though,” continued the plain-clothes
man. “He told me that you, and him
had quarreled. That you flew into a
rage and threatened to kill him. How
about it?”’
“We settled all that,” said Mur
dock desperately. “It’s all fixed up.
If — if Sam was here he would tell
you so himself.”
McGinnis sighed. “I thought sure
he would be here,” he said. “He told
me to come up to the office today
and he’d buy two tickets for the Po
lice Charity Ball. I don’t suppose
you’d buy them, would you, Mur
dock?” . '
Murdock’s eyes returned to the
clock. Quarter to four — and‘fifteen
more endless minutes before that
fateful.car would be on its way and
he could breathe easier. He thought
quickly. He would have bought the
tickets gladly to get rid of the de
tective, but to do so would arouse
suspicion,

harshly.
Nobody ever helped me. Why should
I be a sap?”
“I think you’re making a mistake,”
said McGinnis. "Charity is, a great
thing. Sam always contributed. Char
ity — what’s the matter?”
McGinnis had his back to the door.
Murdock faced it. Murdock’s eyes
were terrible to see. For someone
was at the door. And on the frosted
glass was a shadow — the shadow
which he feared, the shadow of a
man in uniform who knocked impa
tiently. The room reeled dizzily ar
ound Murdock. The car had not been
pulled out. Somebody had discover
ed what it contained and the police
were coming for him.
“All right, I quit,” he shrieked, “I
killed him. But you’ll never burn me
for it.”
His hand flew to a drawer, came
up with a revolver. And McGinnis
reached across the desk and neatly
knocked him out with a right hook
to the jaw. Then the detective went
to the door and flung it open.
The Salvation Army man stood
there, a stack of papers under his arm
—uniform jacket, brass buttons on
his collar and his military cap.
“Is Mr. Banwood here?” he asked
hesitantly. “I thought perhaps -— he
usually buys some of our literature

“Banwood ain’t here," said the de
tective. “And Murdock won’t be

snow as you walk. The icy air cuts
down in your lungs . , a'nd the
smoke from your pipe leaves trailing
rings after you in the still air of the
morning.
The minute you open the stables
tloor, a cloud of steam rolls out in
your face. Nature doomed me to
wear glasses and consequently the
first five minutes that I spend in the
stable is composed mainly of trying
to clean my glasses off.
Uncle Peter is havin a great time
because of the cold weather this year,
He has brought to light some of the
most fantastic’ stories of the times
when as a young man he spent sev
eral winters in British Columbia log
ging camps, That was the year of the
cold snap in B, C., and according to
(Jncle Peter it was really cold.
“We were sawing one day in the
bush, and the cold made the saws so
brittle that they snapped,” says Un
cle Peter, “and by the time we got
back to camp it was so cold that your
breath would freeze and you’d have
to break chunks of iqe from your lips.
That night in the camp,’ we were,
blowing our breath out through the
keyhole and seeing who could have
the longest spear of ice. Big Black
Jack Barnes had his out for ten feet.
Just the size of the keyhole, and then
it spread out into a ball on the end
when his breath started td spread.
They asked me,, as I had good wind,
if I would try it. I did and I made
a spear of ice fifteen feet long, by
blowing out through that, keyhole.”
It has been mighty cold here this
year. It seems a shame jto me that
there, are so few occasions for team
ing any more. Something that any
farmer enjoyed was to bundle up with
a coon skirt coat and cap, and with a
warm pair of snow packs on his feet
. . . and then set out with a load of
logs for the mill..
If it had snowed on the night be
fore and there was just a track or
two through the snowj it was a sight
that delighted the artist in any man.
There was a merry jing-jong of
sleigh-bells ; . . the creak of frost on
the sleight runners . . . and the sigh
ing of the tree branches with their
load of heavy snow.
Now and again on the still morn
ing air, you could hear a man calling
. , . and now and again off on the
ridge behind the Concession the
sound of a dog baying. There is a
symphony of sounds in the morning
that seem to blend all together in the
finest music you ever could hear.
Now and again when you felt that
you were on the verge of getting
cold you slipped tdown from the side
of the load and walked along the side,
to restore circulation. It wasn’t long
before you were warmed up and
slipping back up to your perch on the
horse blanket, you filled up your pipe
. . . lit it and continued on your” way.
Daylight was filtering into a grey
sky . . . and as you came near town
there was a string of teams all head
ed for the same place. Cheery greet-
Serving Sectioned Apples

Apples can now be cored and
sliced by a single motion, through
a new stainless steel kitchen uten
sil. Serving these sectioned apples
to- guests adds a thoughtful (and
novel) touch to the apples-and-
popcorn evening at home. To give
a very festive air, ■ a tray of sec
tioned red-skinned apples can be
arranged, flanked by wedges of
cheese, popcorn or popcorn balls,
salt wafers, or nuts. Just a tip:
eprinkling lemon juice on the cut
apples will prevent discoloration.
Of primary importance, of course,
is the convenience of the slicer
“gadget" for everyday usage, as it
expedites the preparation of apples
for sauqe, pies, and all recipes
calling for apples.
This utensil Is available through
leading grocery stores, who offer it
for a very nominal sum with pur
chases of certain outstanding brands
of Pacific Northwest apples.
Women who already have slicers
are getting them for friends as
gifts.
Many recipes utilize the slicer-cut
apples (cut in eighths) without
BARCLAY
further slicing. A couple suefif
recipes follow:
Apple-Carrot Casserole
Cook carrots, that have been
sliced once lengthwise, until nearly
done. Remove wat;er and place#
with slicer-cut apples in a butterecL
casserole. Sprinkle about a table--
spoon of brown sugar over the top;
dot with butter. Bake in moderate.'
oven until apples are tender anti
sugar has melted through.
Apple-Oatmeal Breakfast Dish.
Cook slicer-cut apples in syrup"
made by boiling one cup sugar with,
one and one-half cup water for five •
minutes. Drain, and mix apples..
into hot cooked oatmeal- Serve;
with cream and sugar.
Fried Sausages and Apples
Fry sausages slightly. Add slicer--
cut apples and fry a few minutes,
until brown and tender. Remove
sausages, and add one heaping
tablespoon of brown sugar for each,
apple used. Baste apples with
syrup formed in pan, and serve;
with sausages.
ings were' exchanged, and soon you
came within sight of the mill. Your
trip in the still morning air was over
'. . . and somehow in spite of the chill
air you regretted it. .
There isn’t much opportunity any
more for trips like that. Nowadays,
the.,,.majority of logs are cut in the
Summer- and trucked by trucks . . .
and then too, with bushes cut down
as in their, present state, there never
is.many logs to take.
