Pat's plans were carefully outlined at the meeting in the House of Mys- tery. The . Gordon cafe wase notorious place where all sorts of people mingl- ed under the bright lights, "It can do no harm to give the place a good cleaning out for once," said Pat %li • ; The Garden was having a big night ELEVENTH EPISODE, when Pat's men began to assemble, "You had best surrender;" said Phil just after eleven o'clock. The "benev- olent" soicetywas out in force to en- joy the pleasures- their ill-gotten money was to provide. Shortly after Pat arrived in her au- tomobile,. she saw Phil Kelly enter, with one of his men, and take a seat not far from the entrance. Pat's men had arrived by twos and fours, distributing themselves at vari- ous tables throughout the restaurant. More of them had climbed to the roof, by the fire -escapes, and were ready to descend upon the crowd at the ap- pointed moment. Kelly was chatting with his assist- ant, and enjoying the run the dancers were ,furnishing, when a waiter hand- ed him a card. The Sphinx eyed the pasteboard curiously and then read: "If you are wise, you will not inter- fere." At that instant every light in the place was extinguished. Women screamed with fright, and the men at the tables shoved back their chairs, instinctively rising to their feet. When the lights went up, as sud- denly as they had gone out, men in purple capes and hoods that masked their faces' formed a circle around the crowd at the tables. Each man held two revolvers pointed threateningly at the assemblage. There was a girlieh figure in purple tights and cape, with a purple mask acmes the face, that moved rapidly among the tables. Two men who at- tended her placed their guns threat- eningly under the noses of the guests as Pat held.out a purple sack and com- manded: (To be continued.) Kelly ashe kept the gun pointed at the Purple Mask, as she sat in the driver's seat of her stalled machine. "All right, for this time," said Pa- tricia Montez, "but you would never have caught me if my gasoline had held out." - Dressed in her purple tights and cape, Pat descended to the ground and removed ilei• -mask, Melly stripped off his overcoat and help•her into it; for the air was chill. and Pat was not.quite dressed for the' circumstances` "in which shefound herself. "Let's seek shelter Mathis cottage,' Kelly suggested ,pointing to a small shack that stood back from the road a few rods. "Whatever you -say is law, until I can get a chance to escape," said the girl, as Kelly led theway toward the cottage. Repeated knocks upon the door brought no response. Kelly turned the knob and stepped into a large living room that occupied most of the ground floor of the shack., I?urther investigation developedthe fact that tenants of the cottage had gone away. - "There will be someone driving alpng the road shortly," said Kelly, "and I'll send'a note to the chief of po- lice. He'll send for 'us and save the long walk back to town --it met be a good five miles to a street car" Kelly searched the table that stood in the center of the room,, and in one of its drawers found stationery upon which he wrote a note. Upon the en- velope he hurriedly scrawled the ad- dress of police headquarters and left the message lying on the table. When the Sphinx heard an automo- bile approaching, he ran into the road to head it off• While -he was out of the room Pat's brain was working fast. Tearing open the-' original note Kelly had carelessly left upon the table, Pat substituted another envelope on which she had written an altogether different Pat's Men dM1 Rescue Her From. The Sphinx. PROTEIN FOODS. Amount Required by the Average Per- son to Sustain Health, Proteus was an old gentleman who, according to aucient mythology, could transform himself at will'into a lion, a snake, a tree, water or whatever else struck his fancy. ' Hence the term "protein," which modern food experts use for describ- ing the substance in foods that goes to make muscle and blood, and which assumes a great variety of ostensible forms. Thus, for example, eggs, meat, fish, milk, cheese, and the seeds of le- gumes (such as beans, peas; oowpeas, soypeas and peanuts) are largely com- posed of protein. Suppose that you want an ounce of protein. You can find it n a quart of mile;• or in four eggs; or in seven ounces of medium -fat meat; or in four ounces of dried navy beans; or in a twelve -ounce loaf of bread. The Government says so; and it further states that three and one-half ounces of protein a day is 'a reason- able allowance Por a man doing moder- ate work—a carpenter, for Instance. The carpenter' could get this much protein from one egg at biea.kfast, half a pound of pork chops or muttonchops at dinner and three-fourths of a tea- cupful of baked beans at supper. it is to be presumed that he would eat' other things, such as bread and butter, which contain protein, but 3f he ate nothing else he would get all the stuff be needed for the buiiding'and repair of his bddy.

HOWTHE(! WON - VICTORIA CROSS DEEDS OT VALOR BRING MOH REWARD, Canada, Australia, 'England and Scot- ' lan"l`Are Represented in This iList,,• Here is the brief official deseriptf of the deeds that gained the Victor Cross for this little band of heroes the past few weeks: Private William Ratcliffe, SS. Lane R.—After an enemy's trench had bee captured Private Ratcliffe located enemy machine-gun which watt ficin on hie comrades from the rear, where upon, single-handed, and on his ow u ed th initiative, he 'i immediately rushed r m i y r machine-gun position and bayonete the crew. He then brought the gu back into action in the front line. This very gallant soldier, hag ilisplaye great resource on previous occasion n setexceptionally fine ex - a dhas an ample of devotion to duty. Magnificent Fighting Spirit. Second -Lt. Frank Bernard Wearne Essex R.—For most conspicuous bray ery when in command of a small party on the left of a raid on th enemy's trenches. He gained his ob jeetive in the face of much opposi tion and by his magnificent exampl and, dating was able to maintain, thi position for a considerable time, ac cording to instructions. During this ,period Lieut. Wearn and his small party were repeated: counter -attacked. Grasping the fact that if theieft flank was lost his men would have to give way, Lieut Wearne, at a moment when the en envy's attack was heavily pressed and when matters were most critical, leap ed on the parapet, and, followed by hi left section, ran along the top of.th trench, firing and throwing bombs This unexpected and daring manceuvr threw the enemy off his guard : and back in disorder. While on the top of the trench Lieut Wearne was, severely wounded, but re fused to leave his men. Afterward he remained in the trench directing operations, consolidating his position and encouraging all ranks. Just be ;:ore the order to withdraw was given this brilliant officer was again severe ly hit for the second time, and while being carried away waa mortally wounded. By his tenactiy in remain ing at : his peat, though severely wounded, and his magnificent fighting spirit, he was enabled to hold on to the flank. A Brave Australian. BAKING POWER, CONTAINS IUO ALUM. A COURSE IN H�x�OUSEHOLD SCIENCE COIY[PLET'E IN ' \ TWENTY-FIVE rY-FIvE LESSONS.. Lesson K. Vegetables. Vegetables belong to Ntbe ean•bo- en hydrate class of foods, They contain is atai•eh, sugar, cellulose and miners} xn salts, There • are three distinct groups of • vegetables: (1) Green vegetables, co - u posed of. leaves And sterna, such as leet- an thee, asparagus, spinach, chard, and g Celery: (2) starchy yegetables, con- - silting of roots and 'tubers, such as n potatoes, turnips, beets, carrots, rad - e Mhos, onions. and parsnips; � (8) d legumes, p 'len- t such •as peas, beans and tils, Green vegetables are valuable for their salts and acids and also for belle- d fere, which is very necessary to the s body, as it furnishes material for bulk, diluting the highly concentrated foods. The starch of group 2 is inclosed with- in the tiny -cellulose wall, which, when cooked, softens, permitting the grains of starch to expand and therefore be - easier to digest. The legumes con- ' valuable protein, which may take o the _place of meat. 'The other vege- - tables contain little protein and fat - but all vegetables contain a large per - e centage of water. - - Properties of Vegetabies Potatoes are rich in starch and e mineral salts. Tomatoe9 are of a Y diuretic nature, and are valuable for their flaivor. They are also rich in mineral salts arid are easily digested. . Celery, lettuce, endive arid cress are - •easily digested, are cooling, and purify the blood streax}x. Spinach has - aperient qualities. • Cucumbers con- s tain mineral salts and cellulose. As- e paragus is of diuretic nature. So is • the onion. It is also rich in an e aromatic oil which contains a- large amount of sulphur. Beets contain sugar. •Carrots are valuable as a blood' purifier. Cit 41 flower, cab- bago ar-d brussels sprobts are of the gape family and contain valuable salts, Mothode' of Coolcjng Perhaps,• no article d food suffers more from improper pocking then do vegetables. Be very`paiticular about cleansing, Use a,small brush for the purpose. Discard all the stale or decayed vegetables, a1 Place e a 1 v stables to boilingwa- ter to cook, and lceep'the water boiling gently until they are tender. Over- cooking or too rapid boiling aeons the color, appearance and flavor of the vegetakle. , Do not cover green vege- tables while cooking. Spinach, chard, beet tops and squash should be steam- ed. The following le a timetable for cooking: • Potatoes. From 20 to 80. minutes, according to size. Turnips. From 80' to 50 minutes, according to size and age. /- Beets, Beets, From 46 minutes to 2 hours, according to size and age. Carrots. Froin 15 to 40 minutes, according to size and age. Spinach, For 16 minutes Cabbage. From 16 to 50 minutes, according to method of cutting. Peas. For 20 minutes. Beans. From 20 to 30 minutes, ac- cording to size. Asparagus. From 20 to 30 minutes, according to size. ^• Potatoes are best boiled in the skins, or steamed. After draining the water from boiled potatoes, cover them with a towel which absorbs the moisture. When baking potatoes, "first 'boil for ten minutes, then grease tlje skin and bake. - - Dainties For the Preserve Cupboard e grape Jelly.—Pick the grapes from the stems, then wash and put into a preserving kettle. Add water to one- - the depth of the grapes in the kettle. Cook until soft, mashing fre- - quentiy. Drain, using a jelly bag. Take care not to squeeze the bag, as -this will give the jelly a cloudy ap.-- pearance. To the prepared juice, me= asure and use an equal amount of sugar. Return the juice to a clean preserving kettle and boil for ten, min- utes before adding the sugar. Stir continually after adding the sugar un - ti: the•sugar is dissolved. Cook until 222 degrees Fahrenheit is reached on a candy thermometer, or about eight minutes. Fill into sterilized glasses and seal in the usual manner for jel- lies. Private John Carroll, Australian Infantry—During an. attack, _ imme- ditelythe barrage lifted, Private John Carroll rushed the enemy's trench and bayoneted four of the enemy, He then noticed a comrade in difficulties, and at once proceeded to his comrade's assistapeo and killed one of the en- emy. He continued working ahead with great determination until he came across a machine-gun and team of four men in a shell -hole. Single- handed, he attacked the entire team, killing three of the men and capturing the gun. Later two of his comrades were buried by a shell, and, in spite of very heavy shelling and machine-gun fire, he managed to extricate them. During the 96 hours the battalion was in the line Private Carroll displayed most wonderful courage and fearlessness. His magnificent example of gallantry and devotion to duty inspired all ranks in his battalion. Canada to the Rescue. Private John Henry Pattison, Cana- dian Infantry—For most conspicuous bravery in attack. When the advance of our troops was held up by an enemy machine-gun, which was in- flicting severe casualties, Private Pat- tison sprang forward, and, jumping from shell -hole to shell -hole, reached over within 30 yards- of the enemy gun. From this point, in face of heavy fire, he hurled bombs, killing - and wounding some of the- crew, then rushed forward, overcoming and bay- oneting -the surviving five gunners. Private Pattison's valor and initia- tive undoubtedly saved the situation and made possible the further advance to the objective. Courage and Resource. Second -Lieut. John Manson Craig, R. Sc. Fus; For most conspicuous' bravery on the occasion of an advanc ed poet being rushed by a large party of the enemy. This officer immediately organized -a rescue. party, and the enemy was tracked over Molten coun- try back to his trenches, Lieut. Craig then set his party to work ft -moving the dead and wounded, During t the course of this operation his men came under heavy rifle and machine-gun fire, An n.c,o, was wounded, and the medical officer who went out to his aid was also severely wounded. Limit, Craig at once Went to their assistance and succeeded' In taking the n.e.o. wi- der cover. Ho .then returned for the. medical officer, and while taking him to shelter was himself wounded. Nevertheless, by great perseverance he succeeded in rescuing him also, As the enemy continued a heavy fire, and In addition turned on shr&p- nel and high explosives, Lieut. Oraig scooped cover fol the wounded • and tints was the means of saving their lives, These' latter acts 0,1 bravery oc- curred In broad • daylight, under full observatioq of the .enemy and within clod range, ' An those previous occasionu this queer lmu he avod in a consphiuousl (wave manner, and has ehoayri alt ex- geptional example of courage and re- source. a A ssijeil VIcai Addressing A era. onng pee* t l..

WITH ARM - :SMASHED, TEETH BROKBN, FACE BURNED. British Olbcer Lived in Water -Filled Crater t'Could Stagger Until He C u d S gg to Friendly re hes, x lY T nc The adventure which put me hors de combat occurred on November 15 last near :Bapaume, on the Somme, says Captain Fallon, late of tits Ox- ford and Bucks Light Infantry, Tlhe day before we had captured Butte de Wallincourt, a strongly: fortified place, which ,at one time had been a quarry. We' captured and lost.it the same day, for at this engagement the enemy attack was too strong for us and we had to fall back into aur old front line. On the night of the 15th f was de- tailed to make a personal reconnais- sance of the quarry 'and report the disposition of the trench' mortars, ma- chine guns, Bre. I crawled into the en- emy territory, and, after travelling through three lines of trenches and getting the desired positions, I mov- ed toward the exit of the trenches and encountered a couple of sentries. They threw two bombs at me, I threw mine. One of theirs went over my head, the other fell at my feet. I picked it up and threw it back, and the Boches caught the full blast of their own bomb as well as mine. My right hand, being in a forward throw position, however, got part of the discharge. The force of the explosion blew off my thumb and smashed the rest of my hand. My chin bone was injured, some of my teeth were dis- lodged and the left side of my face and my left arm were scorched. But I was fortunate enotigh to retain con- sciousness. Put Himself on -Rations, The men in the dugout over which the sentries were posted came out and ran after me. But I was deter- mined that I should never be taken a prisoner. I resisted as well as I could, and when I had fired all the shots in my revolver I fled and found cover in a mud -filled shell hole. They had lost sight of me, but were still searching for me and coming in my direction. I filled -my lungs like a swimmer and submerged in the thick water until they had passed. It was necessary to 'do this three times, for they still stayed about me. When they returned to their trenches a heavy machine gun fire was opened, sweeping the whole of No Man's Land= -"typewriting" we term it. This continued at least half an hour. Though shells fell around me, none of them reached me in my hiding place. • When down in the hole, I opened my field -dressing packet and poured iodine over my right hand, which was my most dangerous wound. Then band- aging it I made a tourniquet of my handkerchief. With my knife I tap- ped the arteries feeding my lower arm. I could not move from this position, as I was only about twenty •yards from the Roche linea and under oh - servation all the time of sentry groups posted near. Thinking that I might have to stay for a few days, I count- ed my stock of provisions and found I had but four biscuits, seven small pieces of chocolate, a couple of cigars and a package of cigarettes, I then rationed myself and made two meals of chocolate and a little water, I dar- ed not smoke, for the smoke would have given away my position. Like the Breath of Heil. The whole night was illuminated with bursting shells and the flames of the rockets, which were continually flying skyward. The shells from, our lines were bursting all around me, It was as if the lid of hall was blown away and the fires were scorching nee, A11 through the night and the next day the machine guts kepi up their ,hymn of hate, and I was often hit with pieces of unud and stone that wore sant flying by the explosion of shells, - My wounds were paining frightfully. It seemed as if I were slinging to a live electric wire. I was bat and cold at the seine time. But through it all I waa eonddent that I so should pull through seine way or other, is felt, baying dodged death many times, that I wasn't born to dis in this mud -fined hole, Rescued by Canadians, I tried to get out . the following night, for the pains were becoming ex- evuciating•. It seemed as if I could no longer endure my cramped quar- ters, My body filled most of the hole and the only movement I had was up the o a water was taco - and down, and m fontabl high, But the Roches gave Y g me no ,fiance to escape And on the second and third days I sought op- pertunities,.but in vain, On the third clay I had two biscuits left and Itheught if ate 'one I Wield have' ono left for the next day and if I -were still there I should have to cut that in half to provide for another day. But that evening, during the hymn of hate, I made up my mind it was do or, die, d was weak from the loss of blood and my teeth, which were broken, were chattering and I was shaking all over as if I had ague. I crawled out and made a dart to the lines of the Scotch Canadians who were nearest me, As I ran I stumbled in obeli holes, tripped over dead men and fell in barbed wire, tearing strips of flesh from my body. The shells were dropping all around me, throw- ing clouds of soft earth into my face. But I was determined to reach my friends, I took all precautions to guard against snipers, both Prussian and Caeadian, for at -'ght friend or foe is 'not recognized in No Man's Land, Many a man has' fallen a victim to his own shot and shell. • - a I made a detour and got around the Canadian lines and shouted: "Oh, Canadians:" After a fat! feeble shouts, for I was utterly exhausted, I heard the reply: "Who is there?" "A British officer wounded! I cried. The Canadian who came out to -as- sist me into the trench was wound in his ]eft arm by a sniper's bullet. When I -expressed my concern, having • been the cause of his mishap, he mere- ly replied: "Never mind, sir; ita is all in the game." It is a tremendous game—the only game of to -day. But my part is play- ed. After nine months in the hospital I was declared unfit for further 'ser- vice. TRUE TO FORM. Easier to be Heroes in the Trenches Than to be Heroes at Home In Fiance, nowadays, the soldiers who have won medals are almost ashamed, since they know that nearly all of their comrades merit them. But itis often easier for them to be heroes in the trenches than to be heroes in their .own families, One of the men in our hospital'at Royanmont, says Miss Kathleen Burke in The White Road to Verdun, had been in the trenches,during an attack. A grenade thrown by one of the French soldiers struck the parapet and rebounded among the men. With that rapidity of thought that is part of the French character, Jules sat on the grenade and extinguished it. For that act of bravery he was decorated by the French government, and wrote home to tell his wife, I found him sitting up in bed, gloomily reading her reply, and I inquired why he looked. so glum.
