Many modern recipes give us the alternative of using either tuiter, margarine or whipped cream in makii'g cakes. , When margarine is used fur shortening, a little less is required, for it contains leas water and more fat than butter. One and a half cups of whipped cream equal a half cup of butter for use in cakes.

WHAT KAFFBBTED BSPOBB Palmyra Tree, aboard the yacht Rain bow, discovers a stowaway. She is dis appointed In his mild appearance and tells him so. Obeying his command to glance at the door, she sees a huge, fierce, copper-hutd man with a ten inch knife between his lips. The stowaway, Burke, and the - brown man, Olive, go up en deck and tell stories of adventure which are not believed. Palmyra decides she loves Van. The night the engagement Is announced the Rainbow hits a reef. John Thurston rescuos both ' Van and Palmyra but Palmyra thinks Van saved her. A sail is sighted after three days on an Island. It Is Ponape Burke, the stow away! Burko abducts Palmyra Burke has to put her ashore on an Island, as a Japanese man-of-war is Bighted and It would be dangerous to have her aboard. Olive swims to the island and Joins Palmyra. She is in fear of the brown man. Now read on Olive and Palmyra swim to another Island, from which Palmyra secretly sends a note for aid. Burke's ship ap proaches the island. Palmyra and Olive sail In a canoe, evading both Ponape'a ship and the Japanese Gunboat Okayama, which has her friends on it. Olive risks his life to get water for Palmyra. Ponape Burke makes desperate pur suit of Olive and Palmyra, even open ing fire on them. Olive proves a friend. He brings Pal myra hack among her people on an island. But there she soon falls Into the hands of Burke's accomplices, and Thurston and Van are seeking her. Now read on CHAPTER XII Thurston thrust Van aside Impa tlpntiv. "The Pueliko. vou sav?" he demanded of the man Martin. Across the road a horse stood saddled. Thurston ran to It, jerked the reins free, Jumped Into the sad dle. The girl's father returning at this moment, came running up.. "Rouse the beach," cried Thurs ton. "You, Van the gunboat. Mar tinthe police. Tree you to the mission. I'm for the Pueliko." He whirled his horse. 1 "Walt, wait, Thurston," Implored the father. "Here, take my revol ver." "Rouse the beach and follow," came the answer, above the ring of hoofs For a moment the three stood, petrified, staring after him. Then they ran, In different directions, to carry out his orders. Scarcely had they gone than two native men burst from the narrow footway and crossed to the thatch. A few seconds later, with the old women, they had hashed Palmyra over the road and Into the lane be- 1 ll L. I V.

Van Buren Rutger ran down the wharf, Jumped Into Thurston's boat and was pulled to the Okayama. . Commander Sakamoto turned, to Van. "But my dear Mister," he said, "Bomoslng is wrong. How can O-Iee-vay have taken the young lady1 when O-lee-vay Is locked up here safe aboard? But he sat-slfy me he is only afraid for young lady. He means good. So I let him go, unless you ..." Van was aghast. "Absolutely no!" he cried. Sakamoto shrugged. "As you say," he conceded. He gave an order and shortly the brown man appeared on deck. Olive must have divined on whose demand he was held. At sight of him Van's animosity flamed up. The white man sprang forward. "What have you done with her?" he demanded. Then, turning to the Interpreter: "What has he done with her?" Olive seemed at a loss. He shot forth a question, receiv ed his answer, burst into a flood of entreaty. "He say," repeated the Interpre ter, "he say turn him loose. He savvy too much. Go look see. Find girl dam' too much quick." The Japanese turned questlonlng ly to Van. "No!" cried the white man pas sionately. "No!" The officer shrugged again. If Palmyra herself had been there, she would have marvelled that Van could remain blind to the sincerity of Olive's purpose. , A3 for tho Islander, he must have adjudged the situation hopeless. With a Una look of dumb pleading, he whirled, ducked past his un ready guards and the clutching fin gers of the others, and sprang over the starboard rail, foot iirst Into the sea. As Olive struck the brine Saka moto leaped for the gangway and into his cutter, which happened to he alongside. Olive made a judicious feint, div ed Jiajk -under the vicious thrust of the port oars, and splashed ashore. The sailors floundered close In wake. , Inland, the main road from the beach was crowding In against the river. Soon the fugitive mst cross one or the other In the open. He would be seen. He would be caught But . . . Olive did not cross the road. He did not cross the river. Nor was he caught Merely he disappear ed. He had lain all the while, in the river, down among the crowding water plants, only his nose up for air. i ' Normally the water, clear as dew, would have revealed him. But rain In the mountains, tropically .copious, had raised tho stream ol of Its banks, stained . It earthly brown, dotted Its surface with moving leaf and branch. Meanwhile, John Thurston, put ting his horse to a run, had soon neared the Pueliko Rocks. A shoulder of basalt blocked the view ahead. He clambered up, had almost reached the top. Then, stortllngly, the whistle of a bjillet Thurston ducked behind a rock. "Meaning me?" be questioned. He raised his head cautiously. Bang! A leaf cluster came flutter ing, like a wounded bird, to his feet ' Across the road opposite, a great alo tree dominated the bush behind It From among Its many trunks a wisp of white smoke had floated out John, In his effort to locate the enomy, risked standing up. A third bullet flattened itself against the rock. . "Seems they are here, after all," he conceded. Regaining his horse he had gal loped hack to the road, with this turning movement In view, when he encountered the girl's father and seven , other men. These were an advance guard. Sailors front the gunboat were following in to scour the bush. "The lava caves," the father cried excitedly. "High In the mountains Thurston, inland of here. Unex plored, inaccessible; a terrible hid ing place. My God, John, we've got to head 'em off from the caves." Tnurston told of the shooting. Thurston found what he sought footprints. Native 'men almost never wore shoes; then only .shoes of cloth and rubber. But here, in the damp mould, someone had ascended to ward the alo tree, descended wear ing leather. Thurston examined the prints at length. Then, "If I'm any sort of Indian at all," he commented, "this, was Ponape Burke." For a distance Thurston was able to ride. - Then lava, clean washed, a stream, and three paths intersect ing at the water. It was well for Palmyra that she could not know what difficulties her lover had now to meet The bed of this stream, cast solid In one piece from nature's, furnace, would have provided a test for the North 'Woods skill of any man. And in addition, Ponape Burke If It were he had taken pains to leave mo mark. Later, he found footprints again shod and bare. Ahead large trees told of dry land. Thurston advanced stealthily, ri fle ready. The elevation took on an unusual form. He recognized it to his surprise, as an artificial Is land; one of these ruined fortresses or tombs built by prehistoric con querors on such islands as Kusaie and Ponape, Could the girl be imprisoned here? Opposite, th;re rote a rweity-foot wall of basaltic columnar blocks. But it was not at this wall that John Thurston looked. Lying under It In wiiat had been either the canal by which these long stones were floated in, or a dock for the praus or junks of the conquerors, Ws the "ehnoner Lupe-a-Noa. When Palmyra's captors hurried her Into the footway they did not long continue In the dangerous di rection of the Pueliko. Shortly they turned into a path that branched out among the mangroves. This path would bring them circuitously back to 'the sci at a point just out side the harbor entrance. As the two men urged her along she knew that she must soon con front Ponape Burke. Yet It was with a gasp that, at a turning, she saw the leaf wall move and the man's face come leering out "Well, Palmie," lie tittered, "I come back "get my kiss." Her guards now for the first time releasing her hands, the girl snatch ed forth hei pistol and levelled it at him. When your appetite craves something dif ferent, eat shell fish.

She had not ordered, "Hands up!" be he had obeyed that formula, stood thus grinning at her. Now, however, so suddenly she could not pull the trigger, he brought the flexible stick down on her hand. The Angers, paralyzed, dropped the weapon. An ugly light flashed Into his eyes. "I ain't a-taking no chances this time," he explained. As they moved forward again Ponape Burke became Informative. Had been lying low there waiting an opportunity. This village was e. good sort: not like the rest of the island so dam' pious a kanaka wasn't supposed even to smoke. And from the point, a man could watch the Okayama at anchor or get away, quickly and unseen, to the hidden Lupe-a-Noa. The one obstacle had been Olive. But they had discovered Van's anti pathy; planned to get the islander out of the way through him. Gra tuitously, Van had acted of his own accord. For this work the man Martin had been useful, beihg new to the beach, unknown. At the sea front the native men lifted Palmyra and Ponape Burke and waded with them through the thigh-deep water to the islet At the end of the islet furthest from shore, Ponape Burke ordered his prisoner into the last thatch. She hesitated, gave the natives one despai.-ing glance. She hated them for their curiosity, their complaisance. for the 1 1 mm by Nancy Hart When putting away the woolens, let us not forget that modern sci ence teaches us several interesting things about moths. First, that contrary to old beliefs FLYING MOTHS DO NOT EAT WOOL. It Is the tiny worms hatch ed from their eggs that do the dam age. Killing flying moths, then doesn't guarantee protection, for invari ably, when seen flying, they have already deposited the eggs on woolens somewhere about the house. Moth balls, cedar chests and oth er "smelly" compounds have no effect on tha hatching of moth eggs. So the only sure way to com bat them is to mothproof fabrics themselves. This may be done by Immersion in gasoline; by spraying with an odorless, colorless moth-proofing solution, or by washing in water containing an odorless moth-proofing powder that gives the same re sult This treatment makes fabrics so distasteful to moth worms that they will starve rather than feed on then. x "Making Their Own" Now and then let the children make their own candy like we Exclusive Line BETTY JANE FROCKS In Prints, Organdies and Voiles Sizes 15, 17, 19 and 1, 2 and 3 Priced from $2.00 to $3.50.
