The Perfect Thirst Quencher "salada; ^TEA Lost Kingd om - by OREN ARNOLD CAST OF CHARACTERS ROBERT BARRY â€" hero, ex- plorer. MELISSA LANE â€" heroine, Barry t partner. HONEY BEE GIRLâ€" Indian; member of 8arry'« party. « * * Lait week: At the end of their endurance. Bob and Melissa arc rescuef! by a itrange, brown little people. They itart downward in the cavern after them. CHAPTER XVII They had p..) idea where they were going. They were just walk- ing-, under escort. "This is going to make a good story, if we ever get back to tell it," 'Lissa ventured at last. Bob smiled through his bewil- dei-mctit. "I'll say!" "We're going' down all the time, Bob." "Up and down both. I can't es- timate how much. But if we sud- denly come onto the devil him- self I won't be surprised." "I'll never be surprised at any- thing again! Know what I'm thinking', dear?" "No "Lissa. What?" ".^bout Nev/ York. And life there. I used to be so bored with it. Nothing ever happened ! ThasV why I answered your advertise- ment." The brown men watched them carefully, spoke frequently to each other, showed them a fairly smooth path. Bob held Mary Me- lissa's arm a!', the while, to aid her. "Avi you -iorry, now-, that you answered it?" He looked at her. She was even more lovely thai'. he had imagined her to be, when they had kissed there in the dark- ness. At least he told her so; ac- tually she was .sadly tousled and unkempt not to mention her weariness. "No," she declared. smiling. "I'll never be sorry." * « « Another Tribe The walk .'.â- â- dsn't very loni;. With that sudden surprise with which a train en>ei',ges from a tuii- nel. the stran<;e party turned an angle in the cave and blinked at daylight. Near the exit they sa.' other things, too; mostly great baskets and jacs, and some stacks of animal skins. The area seemed to be a kind of storehouse. Bob"s interest mounted rapidly. "We've surely stumbled onto another tribe of Indians," said he, "and lucky for us. They're some tribe strange to me, but probably a few of them speak -English. We'll come around here â- again and investigate. I thought I knew all about this border coun- try." Heralds evidently had hurrie'l ahead with the r.ews of the white couple, fcr as they emerged from the cave, blinking and squinting, they saw some dozens of men, women and children hastening to war<l them. They, 'oo, were all brown. Bob and Mary Melissa instant- ly noted the complete absence of any evidence of "civilization." Tn dress, possessions, manners, even speech, these people were some- thing from another century, from somewhere back in the middle ages as man reckons time. "Do any of you speak Eng- lish?" Bob called. Evidently no one did. .\11 stop- ped talking, and stared. He tried again. "Wc are hungry. Please give us food, and water." He pointed to his mouth, and to Mary Me- lissa's. They undei.siood that. At least one digaiCird elderly man did. He spoke a few words as if in com- mand and two women hastened away. Shortly they were back w"'h earthern bowls, both watc:: and food. The food was a thick hot gruel of corn meal, \#ith some pieces of meat. The hungry pair ate agaiji, gratefully, and streii^h j '^CAanteeie^ CIGARETTE PAPERS NON{ f\Hlt MAOf jrrew in them. They could enjoy some sleep, but thi.s was no time for it, they knew. • • • Bob Barryâ€" Dr. Robert Wilsoa Barry, PhD., now â€" was studying the situation intently. He be- thought himself of another funda- mental in human nature, and so look his shiny gold watch from his pocket. With some show of pomp, he held it out and walked to the man who had ordered their food. The brown man accepted it, evi- dently with high pleasure. Instanly the visitors were f^jr- gotten while the natives gathered around the shining gift. '"They don't even know what a watch is. Bob! Look." Mary Me- lissa whispered, intensely inter- ested. "Have they never even seen a watch before?" Suddenly one of them discov- ered the ticking, laughed and talked excitedly in announcing' it Quints, Chief Drawing Card Their Home la the Main Tourist Attraction of North- ern Ontario Callander is one of the focal points of world interest today, aside from the war. In this North- ern Ontario village is being con- ducted an experiment in child welfare and psychology which is being watched with the closest at tention, not only by the medical profession but by the public at large, on practically every con- tinent; for it is the birthplace of those remarkable Dionne Quin- tuplets â€" Yvonne, Annette, Co- cile, Emilie and Marie, who since their birth on May 28, 1934, have bcL-ome the most famous babies known to modern history, and wards of the Ontario Govern- ment. Each .year thousands are drav.u to Callander and the Dafoe Hos- pital, their home, â- which was nam- ed in honor of Dr. Allan Roy Dafce, to whose skill and care they sui-vived and grew into a healthy, normal childhood. FINE HOSPITAL This hospital is modern in ev- ery way and, in miniature, is the equal of the large institutions of its kind in great cities. An excel- lent supervised outdoor play- ground adjoins the hospital, which stands within its own grounds. The Dafcre Hospital was built by the Ontario Red Cross Division. Organizations and cor- poration.s, located in Canada and the L'nited States have offered every co-operation, and thus the children are grosving up under ideal conditions. Health permit- ting, they may be viewed each day. By SADIE B. CHAMBERS RASPBERRY SEASON AGAIN Of course you are planning to can just as many of the small fruits as possible. Firstly, we must take advantage of the cheaper fruits for our own fam- ilies. Secondly, each one of us should try to meet the requests of the various organizations sol- iciting our help for e.xtra fru'c. Thirdly e.xra fruit is useful for those very personal gifts, (do no. forget, with each type you can, to set aside a few jars fcr this purpose). What a joy it will give you at gift time to wrap them in attractive cellophane or other papers and present these goodie- to those who are ill, to the lonely or to ether very intimate frieniJs. We have not the space to give you all the different methods of canning and recipes for different jams and conserves we should like to. Many of you who liave filed some of these last year can refer to them; these who des're information, please write in. Naturally we are hearing much about raspberry jam these days. This is my method: â€" .\fter pick- ing over and washing the berries thoroughly, place in some earth- enware vessel, sprinkling alter- nate layers with sugar in eqt;al measurements.

In time, though, they looked querulously at Bob; he stepped forward and took the watch again. Sun-Worshippers The young scientist pointed at the sun, and at the watch. With extend<?d arm, he swept in aa arc from horizon to horizon, then with his finger he indicated the mo'tion of the hour hanol. He held up the watch and the yellow %f}iMS gleamed. As if by royal command, then, a murmur of awe swept through the brown audience. "The leader spoke a short sentence of two, atid the entire assembly lifted both hands â€" held them high as if iu worship or salute. Silence reign- ed, while Bob Barry's jaw fell. He and 'Lis.sa stared in fresh surprise at this phenomeno'i. Nearly a hundred people had sud- denly saluted a watch. The atti- tude wa.'j undeniably one of re- spect, of reverence even. "Lower the watch â€" tower it. Bob,"' whispered 'Lissa. He ha^ unconsciously kept it held high, to I'eflect the sun. • • • Not A Word of En||i>h He got the point. When he low- ered the trinket, and with great show of deference gave it ba*.k to the brown leader, the people dropped their arms and began talking again. "Imagine that!'' Bob murmur- ed. "But it makes sense, by George it does, "Lissa! These people are sun worshippers. See? It's a comnii n thing.

".\nd Boo â€" you told them that the watch was a sun, a little sun. See?" It seemed corrct-t. If he had done so. it was a lucky move, he told her. What more likely to im- press the simple folk, than to be messengers bearing a "little Sun?" They looked then to study the countryside. It was typical of the Mexican border country, as to mountains and cliffs, but imme- diately before them lay a valley that was cultivated and green. It was not large, maybe a thousand acres. There was but one village. Houses were built of stone, and were clustered near the great cave which Bub and 'Lissa had jtist left. "This is in some kind of a box canyon," Bob declared, studying the terrain. "Look at those sheer cliffs, all around us." Their arrival had completely upset the community. Evidently all the citizensâ€" Bob counted 90- odd of them â€" came to see the white couple. But not one i-ould speak an English word, alth<.)Ug'i Kob caught some phi'ases nmoh like the speech of pueblo Indians.

GET SOME TODAY Scotland Knows No Nightingale* The nightingale is seldom, if ever heard in Scotland, says a writer in the Manchester Guard- ian. Early last century Sir John Sinclair, convinced that this seem- ing neglect was due merely to ignorance of the amenities of the northern kingdom, proctired a supply of nightingales' eggs from the south of England and had them placed in robins' nests about his estate. In due course, the young birds made their ap- pearance, and seemed quite happy in their surroundings. In the aut- umn, hjwever, they migrated â€" • and no; one of them returned.
