all her concern with the rest of

smiling mysteriously.
Again he kissed her and there
was utter freedom and willingness
in her response. At last she leaned
her head back on his shoulder
with a nestling movement for com
fort, now that tbe first exultation
ebbed into peacefulness.
"You do lore me, don't you?"
she whispered.
"So much that my head and my
heart are both swimming. Do you
remember when I first saw you?
Well. I lored you from that in
stant and it grows and grows with

"I'm glad I'm glad"
' Again and again she was locked
in his arms while kisses rained on
her lips. Then again she spoke:
"Eddie, dear, how can we erer

"I can't bear to think of it," he
murmured.
'Nor I. It couldn"t be life Isn't
that cruel that we will hare to
give each other up. I wouldn't

"When did you first lore me?"
he asked, in awe.
- "I think I knew it practically at
the start. It was all there from
the beginning but it was locked up

could nerer hare been anyone else
. except you, dear."
"And I wa3 such a dumb-bell
that I couldn't beliere it!" he de
clared. "I thought that the odds

Her lips pressed against his for

"How Impractical you are'." she
said, with a smile of feminine wis

"I was blind and when I look

They lingered on, rereling In
the luminous delight that pulsed
around them, - marreling at the
miracle of lore, andthe fate that
had so strangely brought them to
gether. Time after time they had
to tell each other 01 their won

In his arms, Marian shuddered
slightly.
"I suppose it would be better
but I dread to hear about it."
"It Isn't so bad. after all," he
said, trying to speak with surety.
"A long time ago I thought I bad

were a few kisses and some wild

and after I left she got a crazy
idea she was madly in lore with
me. She found out where I was
and came down here.'
'Did you tell her about me?"
Marian asked.
"I told her all about you and
tried to conrince her she ought to
go back. But she's got the nut idea
in her brain that she wants to
marry me, and she's going to stick
around in the county seat for a
while to see what might happen."
"How awful!" .
"It's just one of those things
a girl with a lonesome heart and
the wrong slant. Dut at that, she's
not bad-hearted. It's just delusion
she has but it almost wrecked
my life."
"Are you sure you never really
lored her?"
"Nerer."
"Wfcil, it's too bad but, after
all, it's such a tiny obstacle in our
path isn't it, dear? I know you
are telling me the truth, and I
feel sorry for the poor girl. But
what does it matter what can it
matter?"
Eddie felt now, slowly, the re
turn of his old despondency.
"It matters terribly when your
father forbids me to see you and
practically threatens to shoot me
if I erer look at you."
But there was an deration of
spirit about Marian that refused
to recognize any such menace.
"That doesn't matter really at
all," she declared.
"Maybe but I don't want him
taking a shot at me all the same."
"I mean it doesn't matter what
he thinks. Nobody not eren my
own father or mother has the
right to spoil my life. I'd marry
you, Eddie, it they never spoke to

The Shadow Children Step Into
- a . Natural History Book
ami lira rn About Croc
odUe Birds
It is really too bad that we all
can't be like MiJ, Flor. Hanld,
Yam and Knarf, the five little sha
dow children with the odd, turned
about names. Think of being able,
when you see a picture in a book,
to go Inside that picture, and walk
around and talk to whomever yon
find there.
One afternoon, while the little
real-children were taking a nap,
the shadows came upon an open
book on this library table. It was
a Natural History book, which
means a book about animals, and
was open on a picture showing a
large crocodile resting on the bank
of a stream in far-off Africa.
The most curious thing about
the crocodile was this. Its mouth
was wide open and three little
birds were perched on Its Jaw.
What they were doing in that ex
traordinary position, the shadow
children couldn't imagine. It
seemed utterly silly that little
birds should perch on the jaws of
a fierce crocodile when with one
snap he could gobble them all up.
"It must be a mistake," MiJ
said.
"I have an idea," said Knarf.
"Let's go inside the picture and
see for ourselves."
All the children agreed, except
Tarn, who being the smallest, was
naturally afraid of crocodiles.
They managed to persuade her,
however, that nothing would come
amiss, and taking each others
hand, they sprang right inside the
picture.
The next Instant they found
themselves sitting on the branch
of a tree, right above the croco
dile. It was exceedingly warm.
They seemed to be in the middle
of a deep forest.
On seeing them the three birds
uttered shrill cries of alarm and
flew off to a neighboring tree. As

ter, the tip of its nose reappeared,
then Its eyes and finally observ

"Are they really picking your

As the crocodile couldn't ans

and as that would hare interfer

picks, tbe birds replied Instead.
"Yes, indeed." they said. "Mr.
Crocodile kindly lets us pick his
teeth. We get our dinner, and he
gets clean teeth. In that way we
help each other. If we didn't get

If Mr. Crocodile's teeth weren't

ALL IS NOT CREAM IX THOSE
POPULAR, TASTY DESSERTS
"Cream is probably the most
elastic word in the whole culinary
vocabulary. And most of the dish
es which include "cream" as a de
scription by no means contain the
item as the cow knows it. All is
not cream that's so named. In
fact, very little of It.
In sauce, as we know, "cream
means basically a combination of
milk, butter and flour cooked to
i a paste, and, true enough, looking
iiae namesaac to me uucmii
eye.
( In desserts cream may also
! mean a combination of milk, br.t
j ter and flour as a basis to which
S sweet flavorings are added. Or It
! may be an egg and cornstarch
mixture. Or a gelatin and milk
mixture with or without the ad
dition of eggs. And when this
combination is properly mixed and
flarored there is a suggestion of
cream. In fact, many can't tell
the difference in the finished dish.
A great adrantage Inasmuch as
fresh cream Is somewhat more ex
pensive than the bled which is
named after it.
Here is a basic recipe for pie
filling .which may be varied in
many ways:
Cream Pie Filling
2 cups milk
2 eggs
4 tablespoons flour
8 tablespoons sugar
Dash of salt flavoring.
Scald the milk in a double boil
er. Dilute the flour and salt in a
half cup of cold water and add to
teeth, with no shreds of food be
tween them, we do it for him. In
payment we keep all the food we
can find. Our family has always
done this for the crocodiles. That
is why we're called Crocodile
birds."
"And doesn't he " began Han
id hesitantly, "doesn't he ever eat
any of you up ?'
"Oh no ! Does anyone ever
eat up a toothpick!"
And even the crocodile grinned.

egg yolks and flavoring to the
taste. Cook for five minutes, then
set aside to cool. Pour into the
baked pie crust when cool, cover
with whipped egg whites for mer
ingue and bake In a moderate
oven until the meringue is light
brown.
The flavoring may be the Juice
of lemons or oranges. A combina
tion of one large lemon and a medium-sized
orange, with a little
grated lemon rind Is tasty. Or
grated chocolate. Or, before pour
ing the mixture Into the pie shell
add one-half a teaspoon of almond
flavor.
Meringue is prepared by beating
egg whites stiff, then adding two
tablespoons of sugar and one-half
teaspoon of vanilla. Meringue is
Improved by being flavored, al
though frequently it Is made mere
ly by adding a little sugar to egg
whites.
Another favorite creamy mix

"ice-box cake." and It may be
made in several ways. It is a des

A cup powdered sugar

Place chocolate in the top of a
