ADELINA HAINES, in a bou
doir cap and bungalow
apron went out to meet the
postman. Few letters came, but
there were always "one-centers"
as she called them, bringing news
of a sale of bats at Garthwaites,
or Turner brothers semi-annual
twenty per cent off on shoes and
always the hope of news from
Crystal.
' - Just one letter this morning!
For Abner! Now who couid be
writing to Abner? A plain, white
envelope, postmarked San Fran
Cisco. She'd Just tear it open, and

Old Man Haines, in his rocking
. chair by the kitchen stove, looked
tup when she came bark into the
house. "Any mail, Adelina?"
"No," she said, "nothing to
day." "Funny," he mumbled, I "had
'Jkini of an idea I might get some
,'fliing. I kind of looked tor a let

j Two days later Crystal got a
letter from her mother. A long
tietter that began with A,bner's
"spells" went through two pages

then, with sudden change of
t tempo:
"Abner had a letter from

I saw it, I thought it best not to

HEALTHFUL DIET FOR
BABY TWO YEARS OLD
Dr. Copeland Gives a Variety of Suggestions, Per-
-mitting Frequent Changes of Menu, for the
- - Youngster "Just Past TVo."
By ROYAI S. COPELAND, M. D.
Former Commissioner of Health. New York City.
United States Senator from New York.
'Y FRIEND, Mr. B., is mad
about Baby B. Mr. B. is'always talking about his baby. The
conceit of these young fathers!
As a matter of fact the baby
is Mrs. B.'s baby, aged 27 months. By the time
this article is printed the fine youngster will be
68 months old.
What can be said about a baby of this age?
Bow much should it weigh and what helpful ad
Vice can be given its parents?
Really, I am anxious to be of some service
; to this particular baby and, . of course, to all
'babies. If all the 28-months-old babies could
'grow np and each one live to make as many
unpeople nappy as Mr. B. has, it would be a differ-
r i ne most important wing in
i .child li that it snail be properly
. t.:e greatest importance during the periods
", 9S rapid growth.
, The authorities are pretty well agreed about
- iwhat sort of feeding should be, given a child
Sfrom two to three years of age. Immediately
ion awaking it will call for food. What response should the parent
' snake to this demand?
Since orange juice contains certain vitamins and minerals essential
to the welfare of the child, it isn't a bad idea to give orange juice the
i LXlrst thing in tne morning, in met
, Teountry It may be difficult to get the
-frange. Then apple sauce may be
t3abstituted.
;' The first substantial meal will be
' 'provided about eight o'clock In the
.snornlnK. No matter what the age
may be, milk should be provided at
;. ach of the chief meals. For break
: ast there may be porridge made
from- one of the various breakfast
'eereals.
Since children suffer from the
'' monotony of unvaried meals, the
'.pother cab use ingenuity in arrang-
tag the schedule In reference to the
,ereala, There are so many that a
I different one can be given every
- -.-morning in the week.

together with bread .and batter.
should make a substantial breakfast.
,. At eleven o'clock in the morning
j '.stewed apples or scraped apple may
j,. be given. The mother may prefer
v to give another glass of orange Juice
.i Instead of the apple.
I dont know what are the meal
"hours m Mr. B's borne, but I assume
that a baby so important as this one
"may have Its midday meal at any
hour. We win iKtnm that it. Is at
. one o'clock.
This is a good time to give vege
table or cream soup. Together with
bread and butter this will make a
very good meat
On another day a soft-boiled egg
with a little bit of mashed potatoes
' and vegetables may be given. The
mealy part of a baked potato with
butter fa a splendid food for children.
.Occasionally chicken or a little meat
may be given. In place of the meat
fish from which the bones have been
1 carefully removed, will be an agree

"Enclosed find chock?" he per
sisted.
i "No, no check!" she said
angrily.
. "And not likely to get any more
either. Didn't I tell you the old
fool was about down to bed-rock?
Mama's killed the goose that laid
the golden egg, that's what she's
done. Ralph McKevitt says he's
been borrowing on the orchards.
He won't be able to keep up the
interest, let alone pay it off. Next
thing they'll lose the whole thing.
He's got one foot in the grave,
but you bet mama hasn't. She'll
live to be ninety. Gr.indma Can
field that she talks about in the
letter was spry as I am at ninety
seven, when she ran a nail in her
foot and died of lockjaw, other
wise she would be alive yet. I
tan just see it coming. The first
thing that goes wrong there on
the ranch, mama will be coming to
live with me, or wanting to!"
He roared. "Spoken like a true
daughter. But do you think she'll
grow to like me, dearest? She
seems prejudiced against my call
ing." "Don't be absurd. I'm serious.
There'll be some kind of trouble
with by stepsister, too. If mama
writes that much, she's worried."
"Going to call on the girl?"
'I suppose -o. Wtaal else can
I do?"
"Is she so terrible? '
"Heavens no. Jubt dumb, and
likely to be a nuisance. I don't
want her running in here, being
chummy, I'll tell you that."
"Cramp your style, dearest."
She said slowly. "McKevitt used
to admire her. I suppose he till
does. Not that I care." she added
when she saw the sardonic grin on
Avery's dark features.
He smoked in silence. After a
long pause he said, "I've got un
til tomorrow to pay my rent "
"You'll have to hurry and sell
something, won't you?"
"I don't know that there is
anything I care to sell," he re
turned loftily.
"Then you'll have to get to
work!"
"I refuse to prostitute my art."
"I don't know how you ate be
fore you met me!" he cried an
grily. 'I don't want to rub it in,
but I'm getting sick of having you
ask for money, Avery Wood
ward! I should think you'd be
ashamed I would, really!"
"I'm sorry that you put it that
way. I had considered my tuition

time to you I cannot, since I have

"You don't even know low

"Ob, come back and shut the

the angry tears. "I wish you'd

let you go. I wouldn't let you

"Never, never," he .murmured
his lips on her cheek. "There
isn't another woman like you, in
all the world!"
"No, I'm the biggest fool of
them all," she answered, loving
him back. "I can't get along with
out you, and I almost hate you. I
wish I'd never set eyes on you,
sometimes. I'd be married to

"No!"
"Oh, yes. Cockleburr's no fool.

arm around his neck, "By the way
that Cockleburr is a funny little
fellow. Ugly, of course, but inter

sometime, Avery. You could bring

"You devil!" . He kissed her

But Crystal was on her feet, her

Just as Ralph, impatient at the de

"Heavens, you scared me!" Cry

once in her life.
Then she saw the excitement
that he was laboring under, hi?
wild eyes and wet, rumpled hair.
"Why, Ralph, what's the matter?"
"Oh nothing and everything,"
he answered bitterly, and dropped
into the nearestehair. "Just tired,
perhaps. I've worked like a dog.
I'm fed up with it."
She glanced quickly toward the
dressing room door. Suppose Av

just like him to walk out if he
did.
"Let's take a little ride, and you
tell me about it," she coaxed. "It

She thought she heard a faint
snicker behind the door . Av

Knarfs Trip to the Moon via the-
Bean-Shooter Route
"OME over here quick!"
I . Knarf shouted one day.
Mij. Flor, Han id and Yam
the other little shadow children
hurried over. "What U it?"
they demanded.
Knarf pointed to his master,
Frank. "Look what he's got!"
he said. They looked. The boy
had a little forked stick with a
rubber band on it. As they were
watching him he picked up a peb
ble, held it on the rubber band,
pulled back the rubber band and
then released it suddenly, with the
result that the pebble went flying
swifly through he air.
"Do you know what that is?"
asked Knarf.
"It looks like a bean-shooter,"
said Hanid.
'A bean-shooter!" exclaimed
Knarf. "Of course it isn't a bean
shooter. A bean-shooter 3hoots
beans."
Hanid didn't know just what to
say to this, so she didn't say any
thing at all.
"If it isn't a bean-shooter,"
asked Flor, "what is it?"
"It's a catapult," said Knarf
'and it shoots a pebble to the
moon."
At this all the shadow-children
were exceedingly surprised. They
took another loek at the odd con
trivance which, weak as it ap
peared, was still strong enough to
"carry a pebble to the moon."
"How do you know it shoots
a pebble to the moon?" inquired
Hanid.
"Humph!" replied Knarf. "Ev
eryone knows that. Where else
can it shoot It to?"
"If it goes to the moon." Hanid
asked, "why don't you go with
it?"
Knarf clapped his hands. "That's
night. Hurry up, I believe 1 1
would help. Just straight, hon,
never mind ice and stuff "

a fine idea." he said. Ill go at
once." And he ran over at once to
his master.
'You've only got ten minutes to
dinner," warned Yam as he sat
himself astride a pebble' that his
master held against the rubber
band.
Knarf smiled. "That's more
than enough time. This is the
fastest way to the mcon."
The shaaow-boy was very
small, you see. He had plenty of
room on the little pebble, to which
he clung quite securely. His mas
ter didn't notice him, being ac
customed to seeing his shadow ev
erywhere. IT only he had, this
story would ha an altogether
different ending.
Knarf Sat Astride the Pebble.
Just-as Knarf's master pulled
the mbber band back as far as it
would go and was about to re
lease it. Mij cried: "How will you
get back from the moon?"
This was something that had
never entered Master Knarf's
shadowy head. You car? imagine
his dismay. He made a desper
ate effort to spring off the pebble
before it was too late. But his
legs were tightly held between
his master's thumb and forefinger.
"Let me go!" shouted Knarf.
Go he did, although not in the
way in which he wished- He shot
upwards like a flash. Up, up he
went. Nearer and nearer he got
to the moon.

Has Pie Making Become One of
Lost Arts?
I lunched downtown yesterday
in a tearoom noted for its excep
tionally good food, and much pat
ronized by business men. Espe
cially luscious was the strawberry
pie, with its fresh, fragrant flav
or and the crisp, flaky crust. And
I was much amused it observing
that several of the men within
eye's reach carefully scooped out
the fruit and left the crust. Didn't
so much as taste it. Jr.st force of
habit. Sad experience has im
pressed them wan the general sog
giness of pie crust and its total in
edibility. Now they don't even
give it a trial!
Pie is supposed to be eaten.

to many who have pc-rmauently
labeled pie as "indigestible." If
the crust is properly nepared and
adequately chewed, a fruit pie is
just as wholesome as cake and

if you know the rul?s and follow
them scrupulously.
First, use good, fitsh shorten

cold.

from forty-five to fifty minutes.

a sngnt burning on tne outside
and a state of rawness within.)
