With & look of speechless amazement he stared at the soldier, and for the first time since Hugh had known him his face blanched. Then his eyes fell on the open ledger, and with a dreadful curse he sprang forward. A glance at the faces of the men who stood watching him told him what he wanted to know, and with another oath, his hand went to his pocket. (Continued in Tomorrow's Star.) Tested Recipes. Strawberry Bouchees. Make a plain white cake about two and one-half inches thick. From this cut circular forms about the e of a silver dollar, and from the center of each remove about a large tablespoonful, using a sharp nar- row-bladed knife. Brush the inside with beaten egg and place in a hot oven for a few moments to harden the egg. When the bouchees are cool, fill them with the following mixfure: Whip one cup of cream to a stiff froth,"fold in two tablespoon- fuls of sugar and the white of one egg beaten until stiff, then one cup of freshiy sliced strawberries that have been sprinkled with one table: spoonful of sugar; dust some larg berries with sugar and place one on top of each bouchee. Serve on plates and under each have a pretty lace paper napkin, Favorite Oatmeal Cookies. Cream two-thirds cup of butter, add two-thirds cup of brown sugar. one egg. one cup of rolled raw oats, one cup of flour and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Mix well; if too dry, add a little cream: toss on a floured board, roll thin and cut into rounds. Place in buttered pans and bake for ten minutes in a hot oven. Original Meat Dish. This is made from cold roast beef or any roast meat and a bowl of gravy. Chop the meat, but not too fine. and add some gravy and a little onion if liked. Then chop some raw potatoes, grease a baking dish, put in a layer of potatoes and cover with the gravy mixture. Add an- othwer layer of potatoes, having gravy on top; sprinkle on top a few cracker crumbs and bake for about forty minutes in a moderate oven. Fresh Mushrooms au Gratin. Peel the caps of some fresh mush- rooms, remove the stems and break the caps in pieces. Melt one or two tablespoonfuls of butter in a frying pan, put in the pleces of .mushrooms, stir and cook for three or four mi utes, then add enough credm sauce to make the proper mixture, Let it boil once, turn into a buttered aish or. into individual dishes, cover with buttered crumbs and let cook in a slow oven for about ten minutes. Tomato Cream Toast. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour, one half teaspoonful of salt and gradually stir in one and one-half cups of stewed. strained tomatoes to which one-fourth of a teaspoonful of soda has been added. Gradually add one half a cup of scalded cream to thi mixture, dip slices of toast In this|Crash or dress linen very nearly cov- | mixture or sauce and serve at once. Grapejuice Sherbet. Make a sirup of three cups of sugar and two cups of water. When cool add two pints of strained grapejuice and two tablespoonfuls of orange juice. As it begins to freese stir in the whipped whites of two eggs. Serve in pretty cups. i' Cake Shortcakes, I All berries can be made into short- cakes, with regular cake layers in- stead of biscuit layers. Any good layer cake recipe will make a sat- isfactory cake for this purpose. Two layers are more easily handled than three. The berries between the lay- ers should be cut or crushed, so that the top layer rests firmly in place. Sweeten the berries and cover those on top with whipped cream. When whipped cream is not available make a sauce of crushed and sweet- ened berries, either hot or cold, to pour over the shortcakes. ~A hot raspberry sauce is especially deli- cious on a_biscuit shortcake with raspberries between. Orange shortcake is delicious, es- pecially when oranges are sweet, as they are at this time of vear. It can be made with either cake or bis. cuit crust. The oranges should be cut in small cubes and sweetened. Any extra juice tl gathers before 2 A rniraei 'ave pread botwesn the | Bhubarb and Pineapple Marmalade layers can be put into a pitcher for a sauce. If made with cake, whipped cream can be used.

Crash and_dress linen, if all pure linen, are also very dear since the war. They are also plain weaves, from thirty to forty-five inches wide. Linen washes and wears very well and is delightful for hot climates, but it crushes and wrinkles quickly, so that in these days of expensive laun- dering it is not so much worn as it used to bde. Eponge, a mixture of 20 per cent cotton with linen, in plain weave, forty-five inches wide, does not crush and is a good substitute for linen. It costs approximately one dollar and 2 a yard, has a rough surface and looks rather like wool. Linen is used for the ground of velvet and stands between cotton and all silk velvet in price. Linen-backed velvet wears exceedingly well. In buying linen we should take care to buy the quality we pay for. Linen cannot be cheap; its cost of produc- tion makes that impossible, but if we pay the linen price, we should not find that we have got cotton. Round thread linen is stronger than flat. Linen s heavier and colder than cotton, and line threads are long and lustrous, while cotton threads are fizzy at the end.

The matters of honor and fairness didn't enter his head at all. His paw still smarted and he just wanted to make Prickly_Porky smart in return. So he shuffled along up the path behind Prickly Porky, watching him closely. [ The more he watched the more stupid Prickly Porky seemed. “It must have been an accident by which 1 got that little spear in my paw,” thought Boxer. “I was too ex= cited. 1 J'&n't watch out sharp enough what 1 was doing. Those lit- tle spears are lying nearly flat. It is only by hitting the points that T can get hurt by them. Iam pretty quick, if I do say it, and I can hit that fel- low and get away before he knows he has been hit. By this time Boxer was right he- hind Prickly Porky. Sammy Jay was tagging along behind Boxer. “I do be- lieve that silly little Bear hasn't learned his lesson yet,” muttered Sam- my. “If he gets much nearer some- thing is bound to happen. I wouldn't feel at all comfortable if I were as near that tail as that silly little Bear is. ‘I won't warn him. He wouldn't belleve me. He has got to learn by experience. It is funny how littla folks can't take the word of their elders for anything, but must learn through experience and probably suf- fer at the same time. Ha! I thought it _was about time something hap- pened!” What had happened was this: Prickly Porky had made up his mind that that little Bear needéd one more lesson. He didn’t like being followed that way. Presently he came 20 a log. He could poke his head under it, and then make all the little spears hidden if his cost stand on erd. They startled Boxer. He jumped back. This was something he hadn't counted on, at all. There was now no chance to strike without filling his paws full of those dreadful little spears. Then an idea came to Boxer. Tfo could steal up very close. With his head under that log Prickly Porky couldn’t see. He, Boxer, would keep ' perfectly still until Prickly Porky de- cided to move on and should let those little spears down flat again. So Boxer stole up behind Prickly Porky and pazid no_ attention to Prickly Porky's tail. You see, Boxer didn't know that that was a fighting tail. (Copytight, 1921, by T. W.
