No. With a little gasp of rellef, I heard her undoing the outer door of the apartment, and then it closed with a resonant slam, And then I lay, tense, breathless, wondering If my imagination were playing tricks upon me.

Then, hurriedly undressing, I carefully arranged my pretty evening gown over the baek of an armchair, and when my prepara- tions for the night were completed, snapped out the light, opened the window wide and crept into my dav- enport bed.

But the touch of the beautiful fiimy gown he had bought for me had brought the re- membrance of his patent pride in me and his tenderness toward me during our evening with Alfred and Lella Durkee. Why was it that such exquisite ex- periences were almost so inevitably followed by some sordid clash of tem- per such as we had just exhibited? My consclence acquitted me of blame. Dicky distinctly had not only been the aggressor in the quarrel, but had been entirely wrong in his attitude. And MORE_TALES CUFFY BEAR e ———— MR. BEAR RUNS FROM DANGER.

The following is a good way to serve them: Wash and scrape the potatoes, and place in a kettle of boiling water to which a tablespoon of salt has been added for évery 12 potatoes. Cook for 10 minutes. Drain thoroughly, and fry in deep fat, or saute in a small amount of fat until brown. It will take two minutes, in deep fat, but a longer time in the frying pan.
