CHAPTER SO. 219
BOV7 MADGE HELPED KATIE
i to tell the truth at
' 17 Last i 7
I I ; I ' :" ; : 7 .f.-J.
. At the sudden jangle of bells
outside the library door, .'all of us
were on our feet, and three of us
made a simultaneous dash tor the
door. Only my father remained
standing motionless, waiting for
the outcome of the scene to which
the bells were the cue.
Allen Drake reached the door
first swung it open, and; dashed
into the corridor. As he did go,
wje heard a choking gasp of terror,
a patter of swiftly running foot
steps, then a fall. I was at his
side as he stooped over a huddled,
moaning figure upon the floor,
and I pushed him away roughly,
j "I will take her." I whispered
hoarsely, kneeling and gathering
Katie's trembling form into I my
arms. She screamed .wildly s;l
tpuched her, for in her unreason
ing fright she had closed here eyes
lightly, and her own moans had
prevented her from hearing my
whisper. . I put my lips to herear
and spoke clearly,-firmly:
7: ' ! "i '
fRight in Herev Katie." -
I "Katie! No one shall hurt you.
I am here with you. But you
must get up and come with me
and tell the truth." H !
.j Her moans . ceased, and she
Clasped me convulsively, then she
opened her eyes and gazed wildly
fit me. x
"Oh, Missis Graham! Vot you
fink of me?" she wailed. "Und
nobody, not even you, believe me
yen I tell truth." I
I Struggled with my conscience
to say the soothing thing. j ,
' I'll believe you, Katie." ' i
: She clutched my hands, pulled
herself, to her feet, and put her
hands to her tumbled hair with
the instinctive gesture of femjnin
ity. i y ; ; 7 :7
"Den I no care who else tinks
1 bum liar," she said superbly
f'Vere you want me go?" 7 !
I "Right in here, Katie." I took
her by the arm and led her firm
jjy to the library, where my father
was still standing. As I stepped
back to usher her through 7 the
narrow door I heard Alien Drake's
drawling murmur: 7 j
I "what a mint of money you
could earn in a menagerie!" ?
j " :i .,- '(:
?I Tell You Truth."
I - I ' , 7 . ! I V'
I pretended not to hear him, but
I could not resist stealing a glance
at him a little later. I found him
watching me: with a mirthful
gleam in his eyes, and as he caught
mine, he slyly pretended to crack
an imaginary whip. I - fancied
that; nothing would annoy him
more than an absolute Ignoring of
his nonsense, so I stared at him

PROBLEMS
wide-eyed, with no change of ex
pression for an instant, then 1
turned my eyes to my father, who
had arranged seats for Katie and
me oh a big divan and was stand
ing in front of us with a judical
dignity forbidding enough to poor
Katie, but through which I could
see. to the warm sympathy hidden
beneatL his stern mask.
"Katie," he began slowly. "Why
were 'you' listening just now?"
She swallowed painfully, and
soke in lipttle convulsive jerks. .;
"I jno vant to listen. I shoost
vant j to see eef you all in ' your
100ms, und den I hear bells. O -O
"j as if the very mention of
the bells caused her uncontrolla
ble terror. "Vot I tell you. Missis
Underwood? You see !Dot come
true.! He can coom und do
tings" - 7
She turned on Lillian with animal-like
rage. ; while the rest of us
stared, wondering what the rav
ings of the girl might mean. But
Lillian evidently understood. She
crossed the room, looked steadily
at the girl, and then laughed
lightly.
"I; thought you had better
sense." sho said contemptously.
"Watch me, now." -.
She walked to the door of the
library, and fron behind it took
up something; which I recognized
:t$ a jgaily-cclorei harness of bells
which It was; Junior delight to
wearj when he "played horse."
"Here are your, bells," she said.
"Wei were sure you would try to
listen, for we-r-know what -else
you r have done," her
words fell slowly, meaningly. "So
I simply stretched these bells
across the door, low down, and
took them away just now while
Mrs. Graham was talking to you.
Now do you see that nobody else
had anything to id with it? There
is nothing can harm you excti)t
youri own foolishness."
hat Lillian's words were like a
reprieve to a condemned prisoner
we all understood as we saw the
color creep back into her face, the
wild ! look leave her eyes. And I,
for one, now understood the mean
ing of the colloquy. iT5
Katie had attributed the sound
of th bells to the "black magfe"
with which the man. Anton, n4d
on nnninsivlhreatened her.
"O O I so glad," she breath
ed, then turned with a simple dig
nitv to mv father. "I tell you
truth now," she said. 7

THE CONFESSION KATIE MADE
! BKFPRE THEM ALL f
a TCatie'A asseverationa tht
she would tell the truth, I saw-a
cynical ..ale smile quirk the cor
ners of Allen Drake s moutn, ana
I felt a sudden primitive Impulse
to change that expression with
well-directed slap. But my father
was speaking again, and I turned
to listen, forgetting everything
else in my pride of him and the
revelation he had Just made. 7
''That is what we want, Katie,
my father said kindly, yet there
was! more than a hint of iron be
neath the softness of uuner
"You aay you didn't wich to listen
but! to be sure that we were hot
in our rooms. AVhy did you wish
to be sure of that Did you wish
to-find out if tnere was another
book like this somewhere?"
Katie Is Defiant
With a quick movement he took
from the table the book he bad
shown us from which the memor
r.ndunv had been taken, opened It,
and spread it; before Katie's aston
ished eyes. She gazed at it blank
ly for an instant, then she looked
at my father with an odd, tense
gaze, which held in it a touch of
something inscrutable, somethin
which I decided with a sudden
quickening of my pulses waa not
zuilt
Den you -1 know," stte said
slowly. j
"Yes, we know that you took, a
taner from this book." my father
returned as measuredly. But we
do not know why you did it, 01
what you have done with tht
paper." 7 -
With a dramatic movement
Katie swept the circle of faces in
front of ; her; with searching eyes.
then she crept closer to my side
and covereu my hand timidly with
her own. . ' ' '
"Only vun who relieves poor
Katie." she said sorrowfully, and
again I saw the amused little
quirk of Allen Drake's Hps.
Katie aaw it, too, and her quick
temper flared. 7
-"You. Meester Drake," she sput
tered, "you tink yourself all de
stew, but you noting but de sup
sreens. I'll bet you nefer can find
dot paiper eef I no tell you."
.Though I ' secretly enjoyed
Katie's outburst, I conscientiously
tried to etop It. But she finished
her j defiance triumphantly, then
at sight of my father's stern face
she (wilted miserably. f
"Oh! Ohl I forget! I so
ashamed!" she wailed contritely
Go On, Katie"
j x rz -a 11 n

"Don't distress, yourself on my
account. Katie." ; Allen Drake
drawled, and I aaw that he really
had enjoyed the girl's, attack and
respected her for it. "It's refrsh
ing to hear the truth occasionally.
And I grant your assertion. I have
no idea where your simian mind
has concealed the 'poipers.' v But
that the climax of the third act is
imminent, I can see without the
aid -0f spectacles. S6 I await your
disclosure with intense interest."
j That Katie did not understand
nils word I, of course, knew, and
Was, incensed at Allen Drake fo.
the sly fun he was poking at the
girl. But his tone evidently point
ed hie meaning to her quick per
ceptions, for she.t turned away
from him with a gesture really
superb in its disdainful defiance,
and addressed herself to Lillian.
j "Meesis Underwpod, you re
member vot I tell you dot man
say; .an -dot etu.fr I tell you not to
tell?" . . .
Yes, Katie." i j
I telf you all but von ling, He

dot I must look in efery book,

everyting you tink, dot man!' j
1 She paunsed as If in reflection
at the diabolical powers of the
man Anton, and I wished whimsic
ally that my mother-ln-lawi could
have heard theglrl's reference to
herself and her daughter, Eliza
beth. 1 remembered mot dis
tinctly the letter Mother Craham
had j writen to me, saying that
Katie was' "snooping" all-over the
house, reciting the girl s activities
in cleaning my father's- room, and
saying that when Katie had fin-.
sned, ; sne had sat down and
i.
howled.
Mother Graham had
attributed the 'girl's emotion to
her failure to find. something she
wished to appropriate t . her own
t:se, .but my "partisanship and my
common sense as well preferred
Katie's story - to my mother-In-,
law's theory. 7 7-
"Go on. Katie." L'ilian said
encouragingly. "Did you give the
paper to. the man?"
j Katie swept us,' with a triumph
ant glance. f. -j
"I give paper, but not dot one,"
she said. . i N

j Danger of poisoning from can
Bed food has been exaggerated out
pf all proportions to its frequen
cy. It-causes many less 'deaths
than automobiles .do. and yet very
few people are deterred from eith
er owning or riding in an auto, or
from goin'g on the streets w;here
they are by the hazard involved.
As a cause of death, it is less Im
portant than typhoid fever, for in
6tac.ee, buMt gets much more pub
jieity. And yet death from typh
bid j fever or automobile accideut
Or any other cause is just as terri
ble and permanent as from it, and
much more frequent. There Is no
feagon to single out! the dangers
bf poisoning from canned food and
start, a panic, and stop canning
food or stop eating food canned by
Safe methods.
Home canning is safer today
than it ever was. And If the oc
casional i tragedy resulting from
eating spoiled canned food which
Is due to accident or carelessness
in us preparation win mane nouse
. . ... . . v
ivives think more about their me
thods' and make them more, par
ticular that each step in the oper
ation is done carefully; then good
has come from even it.
Not all spoiled food Is poison
ous and not all food poisoning is
potuiism. but, H is tne particular
kind that started the near-panic,
it is interesting o note that the
California commission appointed
fo investigate botulism reported in
1022 that in the preceding 10
years not more than 100 jars of
onie canned food had been pro
yen, to -contain bacillus' Botulinus.
while ; thej United States Depart

based on reports of its extension
work, that in 1917 alone, one of
the years covered in that report,
S6,000,000 glass Jars of food were

home canned, and no estimate was
made of the food put up In tins at
homep : ,7 J , 1
The Department of Agriculture
states that last year the boys 'and
girls enrolled in canning clubs
canned more than 1, 848,000
quarts of fruit,; vegetables, j fish
and meat, practicing the latest im
proved methods, both for their
own training, and as demonstra
tions for the benefit of their
neighbors. ; To date, there is iiO
record of any case of food poisbu

The emphasis which is' placed
on safe method in home; canning
is not.' as sometimes is charged,
propaganda sponsored by commer

of promoting commercial earning.
Neither is it, as sometimes U
charged, propaganda directed
against commercial canning. Both
home canning and . commercial
canning are " needed. Mistakes
and carelessness in either one, may
result jn spoiled foods. Both can
be safe.'- ' .j- 1. ; ; ' i- I
The new instructions for home
canning do not differ greatly from
the bid. But they leave less chane
for misunderstandings and mis
takes, and. if ; they are followed
carefully and also the precautions
in opening and using canned: food
are observed, there is safety and
satisfaction In home canning, and
it should cotinuo.
