CHAPTER XUI
THE boy laughed. "Sure didn't
I tell you? But they're going
to have an awful time keep
ing it Quiet. You better not let on
I told you, but, of course, you'd
find It out here in the office. If
you ask me, Winters'll go to jail."
"Winters? You don't mean Al
lan Winters . .that Allan Win
ters stole . . .took . ."
"He sure did. Mr. Sanderson
says It amonuta to about forty
thousand' all told. May ber they'll
giro him the chance to pay It
back"
"Forty thousand? Oh, nobody
could possibly "
"No, I guess not. I'd send him
to Jail if it was me, but Mr. Me
Keyitt is an awful good-natured
slob. They had to about give him
the third degree before he'd ad
mit Mr. Winters tool it. He iooks
awful. Say, aren't you going to
read your note?"
She tore it open. It might be
from Ralph . .
"Dear Daphne," she rad. "Your
father wants me to tell you he
does not want to see or hear from
you, and will you do him the favor
of never setting foot in the house.
I feel sorry to have to tell you
this, but with his health what It
is, I would not risk him getting
another temper over it, so please
take my earnest advice and stay
away. If he changes his mind I
will be pleased to let you know. I
myself wish you only the best. If
at any time you could afford to
send a little something home it
would be appreciated, because I
am not equal to all the work now,
and you know how he is, he don't
want me to get help.
"Many the time I sat up sewing
clothes for you, and since you are
doing so well in your position, like
you said in your letter, I would; be
glad for anything. Crystal is not
able to help yet, poor girl.
"After she and Ralph MeKevitt
get married I won't have to ask
you. He had Just proposed to her
the day I was in town, so it won't
be long now. Be careful who your
friends are. I want to advise you
like I would my own girl. Don't
trust the men, you can't do it,
dearie, the best of them is un
trustworthy. I only hope he makes
ber a good husband.
"Your lePlng friend and step
mother. "Adelina Garroty Haines."
. I hope I didn't inconvenience
you by forgetting the letter," the
office boy said anxiously. He was
a very conscientious young man,
and it hurt him to think he had
failed in a duty. Besides he was
upset by Miss Haines' alarming
pallor. He wa3 afraid that she
was going to be ill.
"Oh; no!" she answered, fixing
him with her great dark eyes, un
naturally large and brilliant in
her small white face. "Not at all.
I like getting it all at once. All
the bad news, you know."
And to his horror and amaze
ment she put. her head on the steel
filing cabinet beside her, and
burst into wild, uncontrollable
laughter. "It's so funny so p-per-fectly

and then the other . . thieves

"Mr. McMurtrie! Miss Haines

Mr. McMurtrie, from the ladder
regarded the panting boy with
magnificent disapproval. "The
condition of these top shelves is
shameful," he said. "Do you ever
dust them? Look a t my hands!
Covered with filth. If you can't be
trusted to look after these things,
Barney, we'll have to get someone
who can. It's shocking Simply
shocking."
There was more of it, along the
samo lines. Barney writhed un
happily until the lecture was end
ed and Mr. McMurtrie, flushed
and dirty, descended the ladder
with the book in his hand. Then
his careful mind turned back to
the boy's entrance and he said,
I still fussing with his pocket hand
kerchief, "Now what was that you
came to tell rne?"
Feeling inexplicably foolish
Barney started at him a moment
and then burst out with "It was
Miss Haines out in the main of
fice. I'm afraid she's sick, and
she won't stofp laughing "
'Laughiiig'? Sick?"
"I don't know, but she's "
"What made her laugh, and
why call me because "
"Because I think she's out of
her head or something. I told hes
about a letter a woman left for
her and she read it and started
laughing that way "
"Hysterical, you mean?"
Yes, sir, I think so "
"You should have called some
one at once!" Mr. McMurtrie said
sternly. "It might be serious!"
But when he reached the main
office, prepared to administer
first aid to a pretty girl who had
undoubtedly received tragic news
of some kind, he found her delib
erately powdering her nose at the
small cabinet mirror inside a clos
et door. He halted, uncertain how
to proceed. She had been crying,
he could see that, so he advanced
and said kindly, "No bad news, I
hope. Miss Haines?"
He had to repeat it before she
understood and then she Just
nodded and said in a harsh,
scratchy voice that chilled all his
sympathy. "Yes, but I'll get used
to it, and didn't even look ati
him. It made Mr. McMurtrie feel
very silly. He never liked the girl
after that.
But Daphne hardly noticed who
had spoken to her. She stood
staring at the crumpled note in
her hands. Then she straightened
it all out again, and re-read it.
"When Crystal and Ralph are
married . ."
The man you love secretly en
gaged to another girl, making a
fool of you all the time . .and
the man you trusted robbing him

sure.
Let me explain: Fresh air without proper
breathing is of little value. So it is with ex
ercise. It must be the right kind of exercise,
taken under appropriate conditions. Otherwise
it will fail to accomplish its purpose. Today I
want to talk about breathing what it does for
the body. No matter bow much you eat, you
cannot be well nourished unless yon breathe
correctly.
Do yoa believe that the breathing capacity
bears any important relationship to goodness of
character? This surely is surprising, if true.
My friend, Dr. Frederick U Hoffman, statis
tician of the Prudential Life Insurance Com
pany, studied 4,000 chest measurements to show'
the connection between breathing and delin
quency in women. Dr. Hoffman is a conserva
tive man and would be the last to make a

moving inch by inch toward the
stacked trays. From chow-chow to
ice cream the line wound its
steamy, odorous way to the cash
ier's desk and Ice water, and the
crowded round tables. A longer
line than usual, she noticed, and
hardly any tables left. That was
because she was later than usual,
and she wanted to burst out
laughing again, remembering why
she was late, and what a silly
thing it was to be pretending to
eat, when you'd rather be dead,
and the very thought of food
made you sick.
But she ate her dinner, or some
of it, at least, and if she was ill,
and" her eyes were red on the
street car coming home, nobody
seemed to notice.
"Thank fortune for small fav
ors," Crystal sighed when her
mother was safely packed into the
San Jose bus, and her fluttering
handkerchief was lost in the out
bound traffic. And then, lest
Ralph, who had driven them to
the stage terminal, should find
her lacking in daughterly affec
tion she added, ''It's a load off
my mind to have her going back
home, because she isn't herself
here in town. She just hates it,
Ralph. I don't think she'd ever be
happy away from that ranch. And
besides w e don't understand

ically. "It's been hard for you,
dear."
And that was the best she
could get out of him, even after
they were back in the, dimly lit
studio apartment, with the shades
drawn, and the lamps lit, and
her curly bead on his shoulder. .
"I'm so lonely," she sighed.
"So sick of the same old thing. I
get so discouraged. Nobody seems
to care whether I fail, or succeed
or what!"

WASHINGTON, May 20. (AP)
President Hoover today sought
relaxation from his duties in a
visit to his fishing preserve in the
foot hills of the Blue Ridge
mountains where he planned to
spend the night in a tent near the
upper waters of the Rapidan riv-
her.
The president departed from
the White House before noon to
day and arrived at the preserve
early in the afternoon. He was
accompanied by Secretary Wilbur,
Edward Lowrie, a political writer,
and took with him his secretary,
Lawrence Rlchey and his personal
physician. Lieutenant Commander
Joel T. Boone.
After arriving at the preserve
the party inspected the arrange
ments for the night and spent the
afternoon strolling about the land
and resting. The president did no
fishing.
The party drove through War
renton and Culpepper, Va., to
Madison and the small village
Criglersville, the nearest point to
the preserve that could be reached
by the large White House automo
biles. From Criglersville light
er cars were used for part of the
remaining distance after which
they rode horses for 1V4 miles to
the tents erected for their use.
What time the party would re
turn tomorrow had not been de
termined when the White House

The Home Kitchen
By ALICE LYNN BARRY
THE Very Young Thing looked
at the , market man suspi
ciously as she paid her bill.
"And are you sure this is gen
uine fillet?" she asked.
"Absolutely madam," he smiled
as he wrapped up the fisii. Per
haps he understood what she real
ly meant, perhaps he didn't. Lit
erally he was truthful. What he
sold her was "genuine fillet"
sure enough. Fillet is merely a
word meaning fish or meat in
slices, minus bone or fat. And
he had sold her a flounder care
fully separated- ftfoiu skin and
bone in two bright, firm slices.
But what the Very Young Thing
probably meant by her inquiry
was, "Is this genuine fillet or
sole?'
For sole is the preferred and
more expensive rish. It is more
delicate in texture than flounder,
but apart from its reputation,
many peopledon't regard it as
worth the rather large difference
in price. Furthermore, fresh
flounder filet, prepared in as ele-.
gant a style as sole, occasionally
deceives even an epicure. Yet
you ee the words "genuine fillet
of sole'' on bill of fare, sold at
specially high prices, and one can
never be quite sure.
The fish most ofen served in
fillets are flounder, bass and had
dock. And fillet is a very good
way to serve fish. It does cost
twice as much per pound bought
that way, but remember that ev
erything you buy is edible. There's
no waste of bone, skin, head or
innards. Many people who have
a prejudice against fish because
of a secreat fear of choking over
a bone begin to enjoy it im
mensely when it comes served in
"I didn't have to," he replied.
"I joined the club before that rule
was made up. "But," he added, "I
could have."
And with that the president, the
treasurer and the secret'ree of the
Not Elephant Club sprang out of
his clu broom and walked off.

fillet form, guaranteed boneless.
If you shop early enough in te
day you can select the whole frtf It
fish you Tike, and right in yoirr
presence the marketman will fi
let it for you. Then you are sura
of absolutely fresh ones.
However, as this Job takes sev
eral minutes, one can't always get
the service at the busy time of
day. You can fillet a fish your
self by slitting it in half, fasten
ing the head down firmly with a
skewer, and with a very sharp
knife separate the flesh from the
skin, being careful to keep it
whole. Watch the marketman do
the trick ouce or twice before jU
attempt it yourself.
Fillet of Flounder Saute
The fish should bo cut in siz-s
large enough for individual ser
vice. Spread with mayonnaise
dressing, dip in fine bread crumbs
and fry in buuer until ligit

Baked Fillet of Haddock
Butter a baking dish and place
in it the fillets of haddock. Cov
er with two or three slices of on
ion. Pour. over this one cupful
of thin cream or top milk. Put in
the oven over a moderate heat,
and let bake about fifteen or twen
ty minutes. Look at it once or
twice, and if the top sems dry,
baste with a few spoonfuls of the
juice in the dish. Just before re
moving from the oven sprinkle
lightly with a little salt.
Incidentally, this method of
baking may be applied to other
large fish that one buys in slices
like a thick slice of halibut or
cod or fresh salmon. Be sure to
remove bones first, however.
