True enough, there was a sad- dled horse tied in the dooryard, but #see. Nelther was the dog in evidence. “Where did the man break the window, Junior?" I asked, skeptical-i 1y, because neither Katherine nor I: had heard the sound of breaking, | “Over dere.” He pointed firmly to- ward the side of the house across the road, then he raised his volce ex- eitedly. "Oh, ma-ma, see man behinc tree—peeking out.” | Katherine's eyes and mine followed | his pointing little finger. “My word !"* whispered Katherine. “There is a man behind that tree !‘ What does it mean?” I had no answer ready, and would | have had no opportunity to utter it it I had, for down the stairs came | running feet, not light, nor yet| heavy, but with a peculiar clumping sound, and into the living room, then | beyond, dashed the girl, Mamie, her face white and set with terror. By the time we had caught our breath, she was out of the kitchen door, and half way across the yard. But when she reached her own door- yard, the man hidden behind the tree stepped out, seized her by the wrist and swung her around toward him. | Bhriek after shriek came from her lips, and I saw the gleam of an up- litted revolver. “What on earth!” elaimed. “Has that erazy?” Katherine ex- officer gone “Halt 1 We could distinguish his uniform plainly, also his extreme youth “Only with too much youthful en- thusiasm,” I returned, making for the door. “But somebody must give| him a word of caution, or he's likely to get excited and let that gun go off.

Winter beets require long cooking and to the housekeeper who must buy her fuel by feet or units every hour spent in the cooking of a vegetable is quite an item. Beets for canning should be a dark rich red. Care must be taken when washing not to break the skin, for this will make them lose color. Y-TIME latest fads noticed on Fifth |- The only satisfactery way of can- ning beets is by the cold pack method. Very few vegetabies are canned by the fally are impossible to can that way. To Can Beets Wash beets carefully. Cut off leaves, leaving two inches of stems. Do not cut top root or break the skin in any way. Boll for an hour. The beets should be about three-quarters done so that the skins will slip easily. Remove from boiling water and dip in cold water. Slip skins and pack in sterilized jars. The beets can be sliced or diced or left whole just as they are to be gerved. More beets can be put into can if they are cut. Fill sterilized jars to within one- half inch of the top with beets. Add 1, teaspoon salt and % teaspoon sugar for pint jars. Fill to within cne-fourth inch from the top with boiling weter. Half seal and put in hot water bath tor two hours. Remove from boiler and seal. Turn upside down to cool. When cold store in a dark cool place. There never was a man who didn't like beet pickles and they are the eaciest kind of pickles to make. They are especially delicious to serve with fish or fowl. Pickled Beets Beets, vinegar, sugar, salt. Wash beets carefully as ceding recipe. Boil until They should cook in an hour and thirty minutes at the most. ‘When done plunge into cold water and slip the skins. Cut in slices about one- half inch thick and pack in sterilized jars. Be careful not to break the slices when packing. Use one cup granulated sugar and one teaspoon salt to each quart of vinegar. Put vinegar, sugar and ealt in preserving kettle and bring to the boiling point. Boil three min- utes, removing scum as it rises. Do not boil more than three minutes, be- cause long cooking of vinegar will make it “ropy.” Pour boiling vinegar over beets in jars and seal. The vinegar must cover the beets completely and the jars must be full to overflowing. Run a spatula down the side of jars to be aure that the vinegar fills the can. The secret of any canning done by the open kettle method lies in mak- ing cans full to overflowing, thus ex- cluding all air, and in having the con- in pre- tender. | tents of the cans boiling when sealed. | TiATLEERS (Tradamek aredd MORE TALES OF CUFFY BEAR BY, ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY OFF FOR A VACATION, “Ephraim!” said Mrs. Bear one “'This den today.

It deals with several questions that have puzzled millions of people. Here are some of them. Does it pay to have children? Does it pay not to? Has a man the right to deny his wife the sacred joy of motherhoos because his consum- ing ambition demands a clear road to success? If you had to choose be- tween wealth and babies, which would you take? These burning ques- tions, each of them a vital problem of American life, are weven into as thrilling a photodrama as ever reach- ed the screen. You follow with breathless attention the’ contrasted lives of two young married couples— the Colbys, who are struggling suc- cessward by sacrificing the dearest treasure in life——and the Donaldsons, who have children, and are poor, and worried over the rent, and poorly clad and happy. The picture is so true, the two families so real, the acting so fine that you will be swayed in the grip of varying emotions until the very last foot of action. ‘“‘Poverty of Riches"” is one of the motion pictures you will not forget so mark the date well and make sure you see it. Rich- ard Dix and Leatrice Joy enact the greatest roles of their screen career and they are ably supported by an all star cast that includes John Bowers, Irene Rich, Lucille Rickson, Louise Lovely and David Wialer. Other pho- toplays on the same bill include a new Larry Semon comedy “Barn Yard” which contains many good laughs. The vaudeville bill will offer four high class acts presenting Cavanaugh and Cooper in a classy singing and danc- ing act; John Neff the “barnstorming comedian,” the Canton Trio, excellent wonder workers from China, and Bruce Smith & Co. in a fine variety offering. On Bunday evening: the movie pro- gram will present two first class fea- tures in the presentation of Mary Miles Minter in “The Heart Epecial- ist,”” a story of excitement and thrills and of a girl who upset the Sultan's harem to find love. The other fea- gencles for thy respective nmusement company. ture presents Leah Baird in “Don't Doubt Your Wife,” a romantic story that will please all. The entire bill changes Thursday and brings as the feature photeplay “Anna Ascends,” with Alice Brady,- Nita Naldi and David Powell. SELLS FLOTO CIRCUS. An organization for popularizing laughter is the ‘Clown Alley” of the Sells-Floto circus, or at least, that is - what the 5Q boys who wear the masks of white chalk and red paint like to call their cog in the activities of the “big show.” Of all the peoplo with the curcus, the clowns are perhaps the best post- ed on current events, especlally the producing clowns, who are the mon- archs of their profession and if you don’t realize that clowning is a pro- fession, you should watch the pro- ducing clowns rchearsing their troupes, building their “props” and portable settings in the winter months before the long white trains steam trom the winter quarters toward the opening stand in the. early part of April, If, when Sells-Floto circus comes to New Britain, Tuesday, July 31 you should see several studious looking chaps poring over a big book, a for- midable looking book, dont put them down for press agents, for they're not. They're clowns. They are busy with clippings of all that is astir in the world and they are trying to find some bit of current news that will be adaptable to pantomimic burlesque.
