Lost Kinsd om by ORE\ .\RXOLD CHAPTER XXIV Mary Melissa was on the fouitii rung down when Honey Bee dart- ed forward. The slim ladder tee- tered outward! 'Lissa screamed in terror. Below, Bob had a very nario-.v footing. It was not enough from which to exeit a counter-balanco on the ladder; to try it would send both people crashing down. He leaped instantly to a rocky knob a short way up, dug one toe and both hands into cracks there, and with his free foot reached out and steadied the la.l- der, swung it back to the cliff. It was a miraculous move, a mat- ter of seconds at tremendous risk. "Slide down, quick!" he shrill- ed. "To the ledge." From above Honey Bee had seen only that her fir-^t attempt was a failure, that the ladder hadn't fallen. She stepped again to the rim. leaned to take the ladder in her hands and literally throw it and the white girl down to destruc- tion. She was crouched for the determined thrust when â€" BANG! â€" a shot roared nearby. The ladder went over this time â€" and with it went Honey Bee herself ! • • « FROZEN IN' HORROR Mary Melissa had slid down as ordai'ed, clung now with Bob on the rook shelf no bigger than a table top.

CHAMBERS More About Peaches Last year we went into the different canning methods for fruit rather thoroughly, hence I have been saying little about it this year. However since I have received so many letters com- plaining about fruit not "keep- ing," I feel duty bound to write a few remarks on the subject, for conser\'ing fruit is of vital importance this year. I have no desire to sound boast- ful, but all fruit which I have canned is in perfect condition and once again I will repeat my favourite method. It is true we have had a very wet season; your personal selection of fruit must be done with the utmost care, never buying after heavy rains; all this is most important. Ho'.\- ever, there are other matters very impcrtant. Be sure that your jars are all well scrubbed with a soft brush and soap and water, â€" every corner and crevice, rinsed thoroughly and if possible dried in the sun. Then just before plac- int, your fruit in the jar, rinse with boiling water (be sure you know the trick how to protect your jar). These first steps arc the most important to obviate all danger of spoiled fruit. Those of you v>-ho have filed an article from this column last year "Hints on Canning" refer to it; for those who have not these helps I might say I consider the next mcst iii'.- porcant thing is to be sure the cloth you are using ( for wiping your jar.s top and elsewhere i cloth is sterile. Having tried kettle boiling and the different "pack methods" I much prefer this type, it is sin;- ple, sterilizes and cooks the fruit perfectly but not to a breakin;:- up stage: CANNED PEACHES Choose ripe (not over-ripe i fruit without blemishes. Dip in boiling water, remove peeis, dip in cold water and place in jars in this manner. First a layer ot suyar, then peaches in propor- tion: â€" ':: measure sugar to one of peaches for n-edium syrut; for heavy syrup '» sugar to one ci peaches. 1 tablespoon of corn syrup added greatly enhances the flavor. Fill jar with cold water to point oi overflowing. Now place on glass tops, then th â-  screw tO'ps; plac? in steamer oi oher arrangement for oven. Nov locsen tops 2 turns to the left: steam 20 minutes. Remove from steamer, screw tops tightly, te.t for leakage. The next day steau for 12 minutes, follow steps for steaming as for the previous one. and be sure a"d lest for Icakacco before storing in a cool and dry place. Never use a jar or glass tO(is that is cracked or chipped or damaged any \ ay.
