CHAPTER III.---tC ,neda
Whip she was out of tlis room Cur-
roran addressed himself to her Cather.
What id lir, ycanlan tons t tlrc
rumor that t.he Works were to Ll
sold? Mr. Scanlan grunted his con-
tempt rot. the rumor, The Purreey
Steel Works were a family affair;
they would never be sold.
"I'm sure I hope not," said Cor-
coran. "Igor of course if tipsy wero
to be weld, there's no telling what
might happen to all the men there.
They might be lard off, they might be
t'urn'ed out of their jebs. A titan is
lueky in i c days if he has at good
business of his own, that .ant he sold
over Itis head."
• "Fou don't need to do any worryin'
on my- account;' 'Mr. Scanlan replied
toatily.
"Oh, certainly not; oh. I don't sup-
pose there's any real danger," Cor-
coran made haste to say. "tnrtIy, as
I look mond and see the other young
fellow;, tike Donohue stere, I can't
help feeling I'm pretty Inei:y, to be
fixed as 1 am."
"Ther that are sati.tfied with what
they've got have •a right to feel
lueka," retorted the formidable Mr.
Scanlan. "Them are the ones gen-
erally that have got more than they
deserve."
Corcoran threw un one arm and
Pretended to dodge. '•:level• touched
re. You and Mrs. Scanlan know
I must have more than I've stat if I'm
to be satisfied. I hope you folks wish
I may get it."
The severe. and tight-lipped silence
on the part of both lir. Scanlan and
his wife intimated no enthusiastic as-
suranec that they would forward their
visitors d<aires. Corcoran wars so
little abashed, however, that he laugh-
ed indulgently and remarked, "I be-
lieve Donohue has rat you all hyp-
notized."
Incensed beyond endurance by this
charge, lir, gcanlan brought his fist
down on the arm of the conversation
chair and vociferated, "No man can
do that to me. No, sir. No man,"
And Mrs. SeanInn looking male-
volently over her shoulder admonish-
ed him, "It seem,, to me you'd better
think w}tat you're saying, Mr, Corcor-
an."
In Jerry, who was silent, disdain
triumphed over auger. Ho walked
to the table at one side of the room
and, picking up the eery of "Ben
Hur," bound in a' -ligator skin, began
to turn the pages.
Mrs. Scanlan. impartial in her fav-
ors, at once admonished him: "I al-
ways tell Dave to be careful how lie
handles that hook,"
Jerry put down "Pen Hur" and
turned to the music rack. And then
Nora entered, raidant and cag,er, with
a gray cloak over her shoulders. new•
white gloves on her hands, and a scarf
encircling her face.
"We're off," said Corcoran, step.
Ping forward t, meet her. 'By -by,
people."
He took Nora'a arm and steered her
by the elbow in a manner that enrag-
ed Jerry. Nedra, however, did not
resent it; the sound of her gay laugh-
ter seemtd to linger in the room even
after she hai gone.
Jerry felt cbligeti to linger also for
what should be R decant interval. Mr.
S aulan itui =+:r, commanded him to

man.
"I will have it undeeste e I he said,
tlt• t "Nona is not for no dro.tr ela.ac."
Though encouraged b, the state-
ment, Jerry felt it unwise to offer any
comment. After a brief pause Mr.
es Scanlan Continued, ---
"She la not for na mill -hand, either.
She is not for t.ho lilies of any one
around here. That is not what we
have been raising her for."
"No _ert.1 Mrs. Scanlan with
dyspeptic vigor, "it is nest. `Gould I
have raised her like a little fatly just
for that? Twenty she, was last month,
and her two hand:: still that white soft

big house with a large lawn around it
and an automobile to take her riding
whenever she wished. Never a thing
the : e have I let her with
about tl hoe d t t
them hands, neither cooking nor snub-
bing nor washing nor ironing; 't is
my own I have worked all these years,
and without complaining. No fit wife
would she be for a poor man, Jerry;
mind that."
'I guess if she fell in love with a'
poor man she'd be it good wife to
him;' Jerry ventured to say,
"She understands she is not to fall
in love with a poor man," replied Dins.
Scanlan.
"How is she by way of mooting the
rich?„
"33y means of her talent. If shed
doesn't be singing before long in'
1 grand opera, she will be singing any-
way in grand houses. I said to her
only this very night, 'Aura,' I said,
'you'll be a millionaires wife before
you die,,•'
"Well," said Jerry, "you needn't
try to discourage me by telling me
that, Mrs. Scanlan. Maybe one of
these days I'll be that. millionaire."
• He rose, and Mr. Scanlan rose also.
"Jerry," he said, laying his hand on
the young man's shoulder and speak -I
ins; not unkindiv "you'd better be puts
ting the notion (lean out of your head.
I'm wishing you well, but my girl is
, not for you, and that's the fact. In-
stead of laying up money for my old
age I've snent it giving her the hexa
I could—she's had her piano and her
clothes and her lessons m music and
singing, ard I've been glad to ;sive
them to her, for I want her to better
herself in the world. Now you un-
derstand how- we feel."
"Fes, but of course it can't alter my
feelings, Mr. Scanlan, And if I
found that lora cared for me, you
couldn't ca..pect me -to hold off, jut for
the sake .f obliging you and Mrs.,
Scanlan."
"I'd d like to know where you get
your impudence," firs. Sconlan ex-
claimed.. "Not from your ma; she
never would talk back like that. Aad
your pa. ke was a mill, quiet i:'i:d of
man."
"Of course I don't mean to be im-'
patient, Mrs.Scanlan." Jerry', veke
w4i as placating as he could make it.
"If ever I eon get Nora to consent, I
hope I rain get you and firs. Scanlan
to do the ;same. I should feel badly •
if I couldn't."
"Well, you can't" snapped Dlrs,'
Scanlan. "And anyway Nora has
too much sense to listen to you.'"
Jerry flushed. "I'll say good -night"
he remarked, and he left the room.
Dir. Scanlan followed hire apologeti-
cally, hospitably, into the hall and
opened the doer for hint.
"We can't baek you up on this,
Jerry," he said, "but you're a good
boy, you are, and if I had another
daughter you could have her and wa1-
conte. But not Nora ---ate, not Nowt,"
He strode briskly on to the mill
gates, swung mr for holt' a mile
through the lower part of the town,
ascended the hill until be reached
the main street, and then struck off
along it towards home. Ilut. as he
passed h cCabe s, the sound of danee
tousle from the upper windows 'came
to hot; after he had gone by a few
steps he stopped, turned hack, and
mounted the soave. He paid twenty
fire cen'sa for a ticket and entered the
halt. -
It was erowded with dancers, hump-
ing one :tether, shrilly exclaiming,
shrilly laughing, above the sound of -
the tinny piano and the two raucous'
violins. Naked ga<jets flared from
brackets high along the Malls; those
more distant were encircled by a dint
effulgence, owing to the dust that
swam thick above the dancer. heads,
'Ilse more rowdy of the young num of
the town, the more brazen of the
young women, were conspicuously
present, pushing, shoving, dancing
boisterously, wooing and responding
to advances with flagrant publicity.
ferry stood watching for Nora to'
snake her appearance:, fair as a lily
among the blowzy, loud, robust young
women; he saw her presently, her
slim, white figure and sweet, flushed
face emerged for one: shining instant,
and then the profaning mob shut her
again from view. From time to time
he had glimpses of her, twice she
passed near him but without seeing
]nim; Coreoran, holding her close, was
laughing, and talking an her ear with
an effect that was to Jerry of odious
intimacy. And she seented to be en-'
joying it, to be responsive; Jerry saw
her swing her head round anti look
into her partner's face and laugh
gayly.
The music ceased, the

THE NEST
I The next .sixty days, we are told,
will he very critical ones in the allied
countries so far as food is concerned.
If we are patriotic, if we would win
the war, if we want our buys to come
back safe and sound—everyone of u
!must help out on the food problem.
It is an individual responsibility which
rests on every man and woman of this
• country. It is absolutely necessary
that we eat less of wheat, meat, fat
and sugar.
I Just now the wheat situation is es-
peeially critical. We must reduce
our consumption one-third. Use only
two-thirds or one-half wheat in
breads, pie, muffins, cakes, and the
litre. Substitute in place of the
wheat whatever you can get --pota-
toes, barley, oatmeal, buckwheat, corn-
meal, etc. Use your own recipes,
changing them to suit present condi-
tions. Use less sugar and less short-
ening. Substitute one-half barley
Hoer, corn flour or cornmeal, for one-
half the wheat flour.
Here are some u trestive recipes.
Baking Powder Bt cults. ---Two cups
barley Hoar, two tablespoons fat, half
teaspoon of salt, four teaspoons of
baking powder, two-thirds o: a cup of
milk. Sift the day ingredients to-
gether, rah in the fat, and add the
liquid until a soft dough is formed.
Poll to urnnit three-fourths of an incl;
thick, cut with a cookie cutter and
bake in hot oven.
Cornmeal Bread,—One and a quar-
ter cups of liquid, one and a half tea-
spoons of salt, two-thirds of a cup of
cornmeal, one-quarter of a yeast cake,
dry or compressed, in one-quarter of a
cup of lukewarm water, two and a
half cups of flour. Pour the liquid
over the cornmeal and salt and heat
to the boiling point. Couk twenty
minutes in the double boiler or over
hot water. Cool, and yeast and flour.
Knead, let rise until double in bulls.
Knead again, shape into loaf, and let
rise in the an until the
bulk has

thoroughly, making a very stiff
dough. Let rise until treble in bulk
and let rise in pair till double in bulk.'
Bake forty-five to fifty minutes. All
the flour may be added at once, but
the dough is difficult to handle.
Oatmeal Bread.—One cup of liquid,'
one teaspoon of salt, one cup of rolled
oats, one-quarter of a yeast cake in
one-quarter of a cup of lukewarm wa-
ter, two and one-quarter cups of rye
flour, two and one-quarter cups df
white flour,
Scald the liquid, cook tilt luke-
warm, acid salt, yeast and sifted flour,
mix thoroughly, knead, let rise till
double in bulk. Knead again, shape
into loaf, and let rise in the pan un-
til' the bulk has again doubled. Bake
fifty minutes.
Note.—If you have a good rule for
bread use it, but in place of one-quar-
ter of the bulk of white flour use one
of the other grains. This amount will
net greatly change either the texture
or the flour of the bread. The sponge
may be set with white flour and the
mixed flour worked in later. If note.:
to is used as a substitute, allowance'
must be made for the extra water con-
tent, and enough floe: added to make'
a very stiff loaf.

Food Control Corner
Pre-erninent among; our vegetables
!s the potato. It is the commonest
of the root family, toe, Whatever
else may be scarce the potato is not.
It comes within the reach of all and
sundry and has played Its part In the
upbuilding of nations. It. has rather
an aristocratic origin, having reach
R•d the Br!ti<h isles from this condo
e•nt under the• protectiut; wing of Sir.
\tiulfer I.alediet IduL }t has proved
itself the, friend of rich and pear
alike, and may yet he, in very truth,
one of the bulwarks of the nation.
Man's first need is fd«i and the
world to -day is very short, Europe's
first need is bread and on Canada
rests the responsibility for supplying
much of that bread. Canada has an
abundance of potatoes, livery potato
eaten means a piece of bread saved.
h Let Canadians eat: the potatoes and
send the wheat overseas! Our Allies
are using their supplies of potatoes
freely, Inst they must have wheat to
hind their bread,
'Gime was when the food supply was
one of the accepted facts of our daily
existence. There was always an
abundance and we satisfied ourselves
without compunction for there was no
questioning our right to eat what we
felt we could afford. But there are
now a hundred reasons why we
should pause and consider as a meal
is being prepared, or as we sit down
to eat. As Sir George Poster recently
said in the course of a public address:
''As you sit down to a meal can't you
see, as by flashlight, hungry women
and children clamoring for food?
Can't you visualise your son in the
trenches, hungry, cold and wet, and
his satisfaction when meal time comes
around?"
There are thousands in Europe to-
day who %voull give anything for the
left -overs from our tables. Left-
overs! When their sacrifice is infin-
itely greater than ours; their need
ten times more pressing! It would
seem as if they should get first con -
?Mention and we the left -overs.
1.\rhich brings us back to the value
of the potato in the diet and the part
it might be made to play, In saving
the food stuffs that they need, for the
suffering people of Europe.
The solid part of the potato is made
up chiefly of starch, with about 2
per cent. of protein and certain
"salts" which are valuable and health -
giving. Tho highest value is derived
from the potato when it is eaten as an
i adjunct to something else. No bread
or meat is needed at a meal which in-
cludes potatoes and cheese or petatocs
and milk. -
East Less Bread.
The Allies' wheat supply is peril-
ously close to the point, of exhaustion.
There is wheat in Australia and India
but these countries are both practical-
ly inaccessible by reason of the ship-
ping shortage. There has been much
talk of using Japanese vessels to
bring Australian wheat to America,
but the project is problematdcal at
best and the amount which may be
carried during the next three or four
months is necessarily limited. Part
of -the Argentina crop has still to be
moved but with increasing demands
upon cargo vessels to transport sol-
diers and munitions, to support tho
Allies in their present crisis, the ships
can ill be spared. One boat on the
North American route is worth two
operating between the Argentine and
Europe. South America has not en-
ough surplus wheat to meet the Allied'
needs, and besides, every time we, buy
our failure to save bread and meat,
force an allied vessel to go elsewhere
for supplies, we hold back from our
hard -premed fighting men a leas
p g t; t least
transport of United States reinforce-
ments.
Our Allies loolc to us for wheat and
we have not been giving them the
quantities they need. The British
Ministry of Food has just cabled this
message: "Wheat imparts are not ar-
riving in quantities sufficient to meet
our weekly requirements. Every ef-
fort that can be exerted in Canada to
increase shipments of wheat and meat
will be invaluable."
With nearly four months until _the
1018 wheat crop will be available for
consumption, this continent ca.nn:ot
spare more than 34,000,000 bushels of
wheat for shipment overseas, unless
consumption in Canada and the United
States be sharply and substantially re-
duced. That amount falls far short
of the Allies' minimum requirements
It must be increased and the only pos-
sible way in which we can do so is to
eat less bread and use less wheat
flour,
