Oh, please, please help me clear him!" She crumpled down again on her knees beside his chair, clinging to his hand sobbing. "I'm wretched!" the wept. "I wanted to go with hiijj and he wouldn't take me!" "Good heavens!" the old man ^murmured to himself. He felt no ^ impulse of rage now, only the V weakness that follows it. How *. extraordinary these new girls ,«. were! Then he added, aloud: fc. That's decent of him. 1 begin J., to like him, Pam." *" "Oh, you'd like him. He's splen- did; he's big â€" he's generous, and he's suffered! It isn't right, Uncle Herbert, where's your old suspect? Fat and sleek somewhere, getting older and older â€" no use presently â€"and all Mark's splendid youth gone like this." "He'll live it down. He's young," Burleson argued hoarsely. "Be- sides, who knows? There are often deathbed confessions, one may clear him presently." She scorned that. "Do you think a man who'd done that â€" and let youth suffer for itâ€" would con- less?" she demanded furiously. ^ * » < He nodded, moving his long fin- gers restlessly on the arms of his chair. "He might, Pam." "He wouldn't, Uncle Herbert. you'll clear him for me. won't you?" *♦ 1 *- IN A WIOI RANG!

"It's killing me â€" he's so brave, I cant, bear it, that he should be calledâ€" that!" "Suppose I'd done it, Pam? Would you want me â€" at my time of life â€" to go out and confess it? When the boy's taken his punish- ment and he's only to start fresh?" He leaned back i.i his chair, studying her. "I tell you what I can do, Pam," he said finally. "I've offered to do it alreadj- â€" told Fosdick I can help him to a new chance." .She scorned that. "You mean money? That's nothing! He can work â€" I know he'd rather.'' "I didn't mean just money â€" I've got a little pull on the rail- ways. I could help him to a good berth. I'm like you, in a way, I think he should have a new chance." ♦ * * "I don't think anything matters half so much as his good name. Uncle Herbert." She was still on her knees beside him; she twined her arms about his arm and held him. "Who was the man you sus- pected?" "That was only a suppositious case, Pam," he said hoarsely. "I suspect no one at. all." She gazed at him wide-eyed. "Yo"'re not telling me the truth, Uncle Herbert!" "I'm not â€" what"? he asked fiercely, frowning. "You're treating nie like a baby. I'm not â€" I'm a woman and I love a man v-ou helped send to prison. Yes. you did! You testified against him." Burleson seized her young wrists and raised her to her feet; he had to rise to do it. "Now, you listen! You go and sit down and listen! I'm going to put it up to you." "Suppose I did help send this boy to pris-on," he said bitingly. "Suppose 1 testified against himâ€" what then? It was mere routine. I knew his uncle well â€" I knew him â€" a little; he was a hoy. tall, lanky, hot tempered, something of a daredevil and the uncle was hard and close as nails, lie had a way o' saying taunting things; he could be insulting â€" politely. Suppose then, someone killed him, struck him down, found that it fitted on to the nephew like a glove â€" he'd been there, and all that. Suppose he let it go at that, and th.e hoy t(ok the punishment, got through with it and had his chance to make hi> lite â-  over.

", Tender and Fluffy The home economists of the Consumer Section, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, give some reasons for biscuit failures, and ex- plicit ways of avoiding them. Too much fat makes crumbly compact biscuits; however with too little fat they will not be tender, and the crust may be hard and pale in colour. The amount of liquid determines the softness. Too much liquid may result in a hard crust and the bis- cuits will not hold their shape. Too little liquid results in a hard bis- cuit with a taste of uncooked flour. The fat and flour must be blend- ed liglitly until the mixuire resem- bles coarse meal. This can he done deftly with the fingers or with a special wire blender. The shape and texture also de- pends largely on the way in which the dough is handled. A little kneading is necessary but only for about half a miinitc â€" to produce light iluffy. well shaped biscuits. If the dough is not kneaded the biscuits are apt to be crusty and flat but light, â€" but with too much handling they may be tough flat, and close grained.

Scorch Remover The simplest .'â- ohition for scorch- ed clothes may be chilly, but it is effective. From your refriger- ator get a piece of ice large enough to cover live scorched spot. Rub the ice back and forth over the discoloration until it has entire- ly gone. When all trace of the scorch has disappeared, press your article again, but this time be sure the iron is temperate. Ice will do the work!

Quality Guaranteed "SALADA CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM By Gwendoline P. Clarke Now it can be told! Now wc can say we what we have been hoping and longing to say for yearjj and years. We are ha zing the house wired! Yes, actually â€" the hydro is on its â- way. We don't know even yet how many weeks â€" or months â€" it will be before the line is built, but we do know it is coming because we were told by Hydro Commission to go ahead and get our wiring done, and the Commission doesn't give that advice until it is sure the line is going through. So we are going ahead all right. But the job won't be done over-night as the elect- ricians are working only on a part- time basis. So far they have been the better part of three days. Three joyous daysâ€" that is for us â€" I don't know about the electricians. Never in all the time we have been fanning has anything ns quite such a thrill as this. « * * Docs the job make extra work? Why sure â€" but what matter? Boards have to be ripped up here and there, a hole cut through one ceil- ing to the attic; holes cut through walls and ceilings for lights and switches; plaster dust spreads it- self right through the house; and o.' course there are extra meals to get and plenty of questions to answer. .\nd in the middle of all this Daughter and friend arrived, for a long week-end.
