My dress must have been of un- usually inflammable material, for I had but just seen the tiny tongues of flame running up my skirt and had begun to beat at them when all in a second my whole body seemed sur- rounded by fire that scorched and tor- tured me. I heard hoarse shouts, shrill screams, -felt rough hands seize me, and wrap me in heavy, stifiing cloth, which seemed to press the flames searingly down into my flesh, and then for a little I knew no more, It seemed only a moment that I lost consciousness. ©° When I came back to myself 1 was lying on the couch with Lillian Underwood's deft, tender fingers working over me. From somewhere back of me Dicky's voice sounded in a hoarse, gasping way that terrified me. “For God's sake, Lil, is she—" Lillian’s voice, flrm. reassuring, an- W No, Dicky, no, she's pretty badly burned, I fear, but I am sure she will be all right. Now, dear boy, get your mother to her room and make her lie down., Mrs, Durkee and I can take care of Madge better with you all out of the way. Did you get a doctor, Alfred ?” “Coming as soon ‘as he can get here,” Alfred Durkee replied. “Good,” Lilllan returned. “Now everybody except Mrs. Durkee get out -of here. Katie, bring a blanket, some sheets, and one of Mrs, Graham's old nightdresses from her room. I shall have to cut the gown.” ‘EWen through the terrible scorching heat which seemed to envelop my body I realized that Lilllan, as always, was dominating the situation. I could hear the snip of her scissors as she cut away the pieces of burned cloth, and the low toned directions to Mrs. Durkee, which told me that Lillian al- ready had secured our first aid kit and was giving me the treatment neces- sary to alleviate my pain until the physician should arrive. I am sorry to confess it, but I am a coward where physical pain is con- cerned. I am not one of those women who can bear the: forturing pangs of any illness or accident without an out- cry. And, struggle as I might, I could not repress the moan which rose to my lips. % f “I know, child,”” Lillian's tender hands held my writhing ones, her pitying eyes looked into mine; but she turned from me the next moment in amazement, for Robert Gordon, the mysterious man who had loved my mother, appeared, as if from nowhere, at her side, twisting his hands to- gether and muttering words which I could not bélieve to be real, so strange ana disjointed were they. I felt that they must be only fantasies of my confused brain. ‘What Mr. Gordon Said. “Mr, Gordon, this will never do,” Lillian said sternly. “I thought I had sent everyone out of the room except Mrs. Durkee.” “I know—I am going right - away again, But I had to come this time. 1s she going to die?” “Not if I can get a chance to attend to her without everybody bothering me. I am very sure she is not seri- ously injured. Now, you must "go away.” Mr. Gordon fled at once. And Lillian and Mrs. Durkee worked so swiftly and skilfully that when the physician, a kindly, elderly practition- er from Crest Haven arrived, my pain had been assuaged. He looked searchingly at me, criti- cally, and then with professional ad- miration at the bandeges, and ques- tioned Lillian at some length as to the solutions she had used in treating the burns and the extent of the wounds. h MINER’S Ko-Ko Kids ‘Twollittle roly-poly youngsters who will interest you in their frolics and who will often re- mind you of the merits of MINER’S BEST CocoaA | | | REVELATIONS By ADELE GARRISON ‘When he had finished he spoke with admiring emphasis, +He—Has—Done—It.” “You have left me but little to do Mrs., —" “Underwood,” supplied Lillian, and I knew, by her voice that she was gratified at the physician’s praise, ' “The first thing to do is to get her upstairs into a bed, and it is going to be difficult to move her without caus- ing her pain. She is not very heavy,” he scanned me critically. “Is there any unusually large, strong man that You could get to carry her upstairs? 1 I think one man could carry her with less jolting than if two attempted it.” Lillian hesitated only the fraction of a second. Then, stooping wrapping the blanket more about me, she. spoke to Katie. “Ask Mr. Underwood to come here, please,” she said, “then go to Mrs. Graham's room at once and take all the covers off her bed except the lower sheet.” I saw in an instant what she meant. Harry Underwood was to carry me upstairs. I voiced all my protest in two feeble words: “No, Dicky!"” Lillian stooped over ‘whispering: “You must obey“me, dearest, in this, r)licky hasn’t the strength to carry you alone.” e—has—done—it,” I whispered. “No doubt, when your flesh wasn't tortured with burns. You must let me be the judge of this,” she reiter- ated firmly, And I made no further protest, only waited in shuddering re- pulsion for Harry Underwood’s hated touch. and closely OF A WIFE me, swittly Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast Fruit Cod Fish Balls Cream Cornmeal Puffs Coffea \ Lunch Bacon Fritters Cake Cocoa Dinner \ Cream of Corn Soup Baked Fish Mashed Potatoes Lettuce Beets French Dressing Apple Charlotte Coffee Cream Cornmeal Puffs—Mix well together one and one-half cupfuls meal, one and one-half ‘cupfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls sugpr and one teaspoonful salt.

HAWAIIAN MUSIC AS PLAYED IN HAWAII Have you heard the new waltz “Rolling Stones”?—have you heard the crackajack one step “My Gal”?— have you heard that wonderful fox trot “From Here to Shanghal Saturday evening in Holmes & Hoff- man’s hail you will have your chance to hear them. A dance orchestra new, to New Brit- ain but with a reputation in the larg- est cities throughout New ' England will make its first visit. Ferdinando Brothers Dance orchestra is the only organization of its kind to feature all reed instruments, saxaphone quartet and banjo quartet. Imagine the pleas- _} ure dancing to a sweet Hawaiian mel- ody as played in waltz time to a quar- tet of saxophones and then a rattling, blood-circulating one step, or fox trot, as put over by a quartet of banjoes. Tt's a real treat for every one who loves good dancing for the dance mu- sic as played by Ferdinando Brothers Dance orchestra is without equal. Con- cert 8 to 9—dancing to midnight. SEVEN DIXIE BOYS IN MINSTREL HIT The Seven Dixie boys, a group of old time minstrels, offer a most pleas- ing overture as the vaudeville head- liner at Keeney's this week. The act is one of the best inusical attractions given here in an age and it is extreme- lv popular with the patrons. Lee Beggs and company in a sketch, “The Old Folks at Home,” and Delmore Angel and company, singers and con- versationalists, complete the bill. For the next three days the big photoplay attractions will be Pauline Frederick in “The Slave Market” and Max Linder in “Max Wants a Divorce.” There will be the Universal releases in adadition. “Griddles,” to use on the oil stove, can be “home-made’ of wire scree: ing, and take less time to heat than the regulation solid iron griddles. HOURS OF LAUGHTER AT LYCEUM THEATER Next week marks the farewell of the Walter Naylor players at the Ly- ceum. Local theatergoers who have regularly enjoyed the splendid produc- tions of latest metropolitan successes will have there last opportunity when “The Little Lost Sister” is produced. This play, by Edward E. Rose, one of the most prolific and successful play- wrights of the day, enjoyed a phenom- enal run in Chicago. It illustrates clearly the pitfalls and temptations to which young girls are exposed. It also treats in aw interest- ing way of the campaign waged against that human vulture, the cadet. Comedy and pathos are skillfully blended, and the play has the requisite punch so essential to the drama. This week, A Pair of Queens, the season's newest play is receiving its first presentation in New Britain. Tt is unquestionably the funniest of modern farces and its laughs are ir- resistible. The piay and production should draw record crowds to the Ly- ceum. Sunday evening a first class photo- play will be shown. “THE BARRIER” BEST ON FOX PROGRAM Those who -have read Rex Beach's famous novel, “The Barrier”, will be interested to learn that a motion pic- ture version will come to Fox's thea- ter Friday and Saturday of this week. All the picture critics declare that “The Barrier” marks a new era in motion picture production. Its ac- tion is carried on at top speed, and it has all the wild beauty of scenic set- ting that could be desired by an imaginative reader of the book. Everything about “The Barrier” is powerful, characters, plot, and inci- dents. It is “bigness” spelled with capital letters. The cast is especially strong, including Mitchell Lewis, Ma- bel Jullene Scott, Victor Sutherland, Russell Simpson, Ed. Roseman and Mary Kennevan Carr. Special music for the picture has been composed by Fred O. Hanks and Sol. l Levy and will be interpreted by an augmented orchestra. A mushy mixture of ammonia and salt will take white marks off the in- ide of dark coat collars, but it should be remembered that it is a danggrous mixture. Little pigs-in-blankets are made of selected oysters, dried and rolled in thin’ blankets of bacon, pinned with Wooden toothpicks and fried a del- icate brown in deep fat. When lard is so expensive, oysters can be fried in just enough lard to pafely keep them from sticking. They aré just as nice as when fried in deep fat, “A certain stenographer that I ac- quainted with,” writes a letter friend, “has been working for six years for a business concern that is making a great deal of money. She was willing to start for a small sum and worked faithfully for the abQve number of years. <1 4 “Recently the concern saw fit to hire a few more stenographers. One had little if any experience and they started her at the same money they paid the one that had been with them six years. Another got the same as the six years stenographer in a little over six months. Not a Fair Dcal for the First Stenographer. “Now: do you call this fair treat- ment of the stenographer who had served faithfully (she had been told that she had been faithful) for that number of years? «f wish you would write an article on this subject and see what replies you would get. I had read articles saying that if stenographers would g0 to work early and work faithfully and not by the clock, that they would receive higher wages. *Now have done this and have very seldom missed a day for pleasure and hav never even had a vacation in that length of time. I really do not be- lieve that the person who plugs along and works for the interest of the concern is appreciated. Naturally She Is Angry. “I don’t believe that I have ex- plained this as thoroughly as I might but it makes me so discouraged and angry that I cannot think how to express my thoughts. One can well understand how the writer (who T suspect is a more than intimate friend of the stenographer she knows) might well feel discour- aged. But if she will pardon' my saying it there is of course, a chance that some of the new stenographers have more ability. ‘They Take Advantage of a Clerk’s Faithfulsess. On the other hand, the firm may know that she is in a position where Household Notes | i er e « es have written their record over a period of sixty-two years. Tried and truly tested, you will readily agree. : er es have ruled all these years as the housewife’s frlend——-roundmg out a full lifetime of simple, sturdy service.

The Range Supreme SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON Too Little Ginger she cannot afford to risk demanding a raise and they may take advant- age of their knowledge of it in the mean way some firms have. They may also be taking advantage of her faith- fulness. Plenty of firms will do that. You will find that much of this talk about not looking at the clock and giving more than you are paid for comes from the top- I do not say that that does not often bring a man success, but I do say that many times it is meanly taken advantage of es- pecially when it is combined with teo much humility. The man who makes a doormat of himself will always be walked on. Maybe you need a little more gin- ger both in yvour work asd in your attitude toward your employer. Try both,—if you can afford to.
