CHAPTER XVII
"He wanted me -he wouldn't
take me because of this. Uncle
Herbert, I love him. Oh, please,
please help me clear hit'!" She
crumpled down again on her knees
beside his chair, clinging to his
hand sobbing. "I'm wretched!"
she wept. "I wanted to go with
him and he wouldn't talce ane!"
"Good heavens!" the old man
Lnurmured to himself. He felt no
impulse of rage -noir, -only the
weakness that follows it. -How
extraordinary these new girls
were! Then he added, aloud:
'That's decent of him, I begin
to like hint, Pam."
"Oh, you'd like hiss. He's splen-
did; he's big—he's generous, and
he's suffered! It isn't right, Uncle
Herbert, where's your old suspect?
Fat and sleek somewhere, getting
older and older—no use presently
—and all Mark's splendid youth
gone like this."
"He'll live it down. He's young,"'
Burleson argued hoarsely, "Be-
sides, who knows? There are
often deathbed confessions, one
may clear him presently."
She scorned that. "Do you
think a manwho'd done that—and
let youth suffer for it- would con-
fess?" she 'demanded furiously,
* *
He nodded, moving his long fin-.
gers restlessly on the arms of his
chair. "He might, Pam,"
"He wouldn't, Uncle Herbert,
you'll clear. him for me, won't
• you?"

Are You Overtired
Whether you overwork, worry or
ea end your energies in the social
whirl, the result is the same— chronic
fatigue or nervous exhaustion.
Your nerves and bodily organs are
also tired so that digestion fails and.
you lie awake at nights unable to
creep.
Perhaps there is nothing that can so
definitely help you as Dr. Chase's

this to be the case. Why not benefit

"Do you care so much,. child?"
She lifted that flowerlike face -of
hers. "It's killing me --he's so
brave, I can't bear it, that he
should be called—that!"
"Suppose I'd done it, Pain?
Would you want the—at my time
of life—to go out and confess it?
When the boy's taken his punish-
ment and he's only to start fresh?"
He leaned back in his chair,
studying her. "I tell you what
I can de, Pain," he said finally.
"I've offered to do it already—told
Fosdick I can help him to a new
chance."
She scorned that, "You mean
money? That's nothing! He can
work -I know he'd rather."
"I didn't mean just money--
I've
oney—I've got a little pull on the rail-
ways, I could help him to a good
berth, I'm like you, in a way, I
think he should have a new
chance:"
* * *
"I don't think anythingmatters
half so much as his good name,
Uncle Herbert" She was still on
her knees beside him; she twined
her arms about his arils and held
him. "Who was the nsan you sus-
pected?"
"That was only a suppositious
case, Pans," he said hoarsely,- "I
suspect no one at all."
She gazed at Itim wide-eyed.
"You're not telling me the troth,
rheic Herbert!"
"I'm not—what"? he asked
fiercely, frowning.
"You're treating me like' a baby.
Pin not—I'm a woman and I love
a man you helped send to prison.
Yes, you did! You testified
against hint."
Burleson seized her young wrists
and raised her to her feet; he had
to rise to do it.
"Now, you listen! You go and
sit down and listen! I'm going
to put it up to you."
* *
"Suppose 1 did help send this
boy to prison," he said bitingly.
"Suppose I testified against him—
what then? It was mere routine.
I knew his uncle well—I knew
him—a little; he was a boy, tall,
lanky, hot tempered, something of
a daredevil and the uncle was hard
and close as nails: He had a way
of saying taunting things; he rotsld
-be insulting—politely. Suppose
then, someone killed hins, struck
hins 'down, found that it fitted on
to the nephew like a glove—he'd
been there, and all that. Suppose
he let it go at tfi'at, and the boy.

Minnie Horton of Columbus, Ga. When her eggs failed to hatch

dog is .having a hard time getting back to her family . , , that is,

Then site broke :out again.
"Someone did it—and I don't see
how he can think of it, think of

Burleson gave her a long look—
a look she did not see:
"Maybe he doesn't, Pam," he
said dryly. "Come to think of

"He 'ought to die'' she cried
fiercely. "He ought to have died
long ago!"
"Good Godl" said Burleson be-
low his breath, and turned away.

Tea Biscuits . '
Tender and Fluffy
The home economists of the
Consumer• Section, Dominion De-
partment of Agriculture, give some
reasons for biscuit failures, and ex-
plicit ways of avoiding them,
Too much fat makes crumbly
compact biscuits; however with too
little fat. they -will not be tender,
and the crust may be hard and
pale in colour.
'The amount of liquid determines
the softness. Too much liquid may
result in a hard crust anti the bis-
cuits will not hold their shape. Too
little liquid results in a hard bis-
cuit with a taste of uncooked flour,
The fat and flour must be brand-
ed lightly until the mixture resem-
bles coarse meal. This can be clone
deftly with the fingers or with a
special wire blender.
The shape and texture also de-
pends largely on the way in which
Ilse dough is handled. A little
kneading is necessary but only for
about half a minute,— to produce
light fluffy, well shaped biscuits.
If the dough is not kneaded the
biscuits are apt to be- crusty and
flat but light, but with too
hoick handling they may .be tough
flat, and close grained,

baking sheet and bake in a very
hot oven. 425°F, for 12 to 15 min -

Score! Retriover
The simplest solution for scorch-
ed clothes may be chilly, but it
is effective. From your refriger-
ator get'a piece of ice large enough
to cover the scorched .spot. Rub
the ice back and fortis aver the
discoloration until it has entire-
ly gone. When all trace of the
scorch has clisappe-ret,, press your
article again, but this time be sure '
the iron is temperate, Ice will
do the work!

Now it can be told! Now we
can say we what, we have been
hoping and longing to say for
years and years. '
We are having the house wired!
Yes, actually—the hydro is on its
way, We don't know even yet how
massy weeks -or mouths—it will
be before the line is built, but we
do know it is coming because we
were told by Hydro Commission to
go ahead andget our wiring done,
and the Commission doesn't give
that advice until it is sure the line
is going through. So we are going
ahead all right But the job won't
be done over -night as the elect-
ricians are working only on a part-
time
arttithe basis.
So far they have been the better
part of three days. Three joyous
days—that is for us—I don't know
about the electricians. Never in all
the time we have been farming has
anything us quite such a thrill as
this-
* *
Does the job make extra work?
Why sure—but what matter? Boards
have to be ripped up here and
there, a hole cut through one ceil-
ing to the attic; holes cut through
walls and ceilings for lights and
switches; plaster dust spreads it-
self right through the house; and
of course there are extra meals to
get and plenty of - questions to
answer. And in the middle of all
this Daughter and .friend arrived
for a long week -end.
Oh, sweet confusion—it never
worried use less!
It was realty rather funny.
Saturday we were not expecting
the men to he here at all. But it
rained, so one of thein came after
all. And he cause when our visitors
were still blissfully sleeping—and
in the roosts where he wanted to
work, Well, it didn't take me long
to have those sane rooms eva-
cuated, 1 can assure you.

We thought getting on the la d
was going to complicate our !work
still further but than' ,goodness,
it rained. That Inas given us a
breathing .pell. But it .may not
be for long—the whole country-
side has every appearance of early
wring. This afternoon we were o'at
for a little drive and it was in evi-
dence everywhere. Once Daughter
cried out gleefully—"Oh, Mum
do Toole; there's a bluebird!" But
unfortur:ately I missed ' it. how-
ever, presently it was my turn to
exclaim—"Look, along that fence
see them ... a couple of _Ree, -
Starts?" And of course we ..aw
plenty of little lambs and other
positive Cigna of spring.
* *
however on most of the farms
we passed work in the fields had.
not yet begun, in others the odd
field had been worked up. But oh
dear, there was one farm we
passed, where a field alongside the
road was partlysown—and the thrill
and four bags of grain had been
left sitting in the fie! I. Probably
the farther took a chance with the
idea of saving time. I wonder how
he felt the next morning when he
heard the rain pelting down.
* * *
Well, the Pour is late, "it's time
to sleep, perchance to dream"—and
it
nsay be that when I get to heel
I shall dreamt of a house where
rooms are filled with light. where
there are no lamps to smoke. no
lamp chimneys to clean, or bowls
to he re -fueled, and where one can
walk with equal safety from attic
to cellar, and where a plug in the
wall provides one with the means
of using all kinds of modern con-
veniences—if, and when, they can
be procured!
