ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS

"Valley ol Voice*
The next valley that the Twins
came to on their way to the King
dom of the Korsknotts was called
the Valley of Voices.
Everything looked all right—in
deed It was a lovely place, but the
dove told them that Halloo Hallo
lived there and that as he was an
other cousin of Twelve Toes, the
Sorcerer. It was more than likely he
would cause them trouble.
'Til fly ahead." said the dove,
"and sit on the top branch of the
tallest tree in the other side of the
valley. Watch where I gc and fol
low—no matter what happens " a
But no sooner hed the dove dis
appeared than a voice right beside
.hem shouted fiercely, “Sit down."
Nancy and Nick were so surprised
that they did as they were told.
Down they popped on a fallen log
»nd looked around wonderingly to
»ee who hail spoken. But not a soul
' appeared. Old Haloo Hallo lived In
a vine-covered hut in the middle of
* .he valley, but as he was miles off.
the Twins couldn't see him, of
rourse. He could throw hi* voice as
‘ar as he wished, and in any direc
, don he wished, and imitate anything
t he wished, which was likely to mix
you up. Well, the Twins sat and
sat and as they didn’t see anything
and .nothing more happened, they
got up. ’'We’ll have to hurry.’’ said
Nancy. "We must have made a
mistake. Whoever was talking
didn't mean us."
But suddenly a little, weak voice
near the bushes, beside the path
called out, "Help! Help!”
"Something's in trouble." said
Nick. "We'll have to And It."
So they looked and looked and
they looked but nothing could they
see.
"It must be a joke." said Nancy.
“Come on. We've wasted enough
time. We must follow tho dove and
get out of this place.”
But another voice called out. "Go
back! Oh. go back! If you value
your lives, go back!”
Back they started, running hard.
Suddenly Nick stopped. “Old
Halloo Ha!lo Is fooling us,” he said.
"We'd better stuff our ears and fol
low the dove. There he la in that
tree.”
Soon they were out of the Valley
i of Voices.

- CHAPTER 30
T.eft alone at home for the first
time since my marriage. I was lone
' some to the verge of weeping.
Of course Jack would have mar
ried Mra. Herrod instead of me had
she been hl% own age.
Why hadn't I seen it before it
was too late?
I fell to crying bitterly, then went
to bed, and pretended to be sound
asleep when Jack came home. 1
, murmured something inarticulate
when he spoke to me. And f eam
ouUaged asleep until nearly day
break.
Fortunately the next day was a
holiday and we slept late. It rained,
weather that ordinarily we w'ould
have welcomed with Joy, for it made
a day wo could have to ourselves.
But my joy did not materialize,
for my thoughts of the previous
evening continued to harass me.
What had Jack said to Mrs. Herrod .
What had she*said to Jack?
Sleeplessness and the need to tell
Jack of those bills made my nerves
ragged. Jack’s soft whistling irri
tated me. When he spoke, my re
plies were far from honeyed.
Once in a while my husband’s
good nature annoys me. He is ex
act, practical, and when he’s absorb*
ed in his own thoughts he has an
abrupt way of meeting a question
with quick concentration, of answer
ing it briefly and precisely. It was
so that morning.
And as any wife would have done,
I concluded that he was still think
ing about his game and the lady
of the previous evening!
At last the weather cleared a
little. We decided to take a long
walk.
I adjusted my hat, put on my
gloves, remembered my adored
string of mock pearls which I wear

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
There’s a tang to grapefruit that
goes "right to the spot" in the spring
of the year. The fruit acta as a
tonic to jaded appetites.
Try salt instead of sugar on your
breakfast fruit. Add salt to the fruit
cocktail you serve at luncheon or
dinner. Try these rules for grape
fruit and see if the family doesn't
approve.
Grapefruit Pie
One grapefruit, boiling water, 1
cup sugar, Vs teuspoon salt, 2 table
spoons cornstarch. 1 egg, baked pie
shell, 2 tablespoons granulated
sugar, 1 tablespoon cold water.
Squeeze ulce from grapefruit and
use enough boiling water to make
two cups of liquid. Pyt boiling
water in a sauce pan, add sugar,
cornstarch diluted in cold water and
salt. Cook, stirring constantly until
clear. Stir in grapefruit Juice.
Add yolk of egg unbeaten and re
move from the lire. Mix thoroughly
and pour into the baked pie shell.
Heat white of egg In sugar and dry
with cold water. Beat in sugar and
j idle on pie. Bake eight minutes In
a moderate oven. Serve cold.
Grapefruit Salad
Two grapefruits, 1 green pepper,
3 drops onion Juice, V4 teaspoon salt,
2 tablespoons oil, paprika.
Peel grapefruit, removing all the
tough white skin. Divide into sec
tions and remove pulp from connect
ing tissues. Remove seeds and white
fiber from pepper and mince. Ar
range sections of grapefruit on
I hearts of lettuce, sprinkle with
minced pepper and pour over dress
ing of onion juice, salt and oil mix
ed. Sprinkle with paprika and
serve. Any juice that escapes from
the fruit while it is being prepared
should be saved and mixed with the
oil. This salad should be thoroughly
chilled before mixing.
Grapefruit Marmalade
Six small grapefruit, 2 lemons, 3
oranges, water, sugar.
Cut grapefruit in halves and scoop
out pulp with a spoon. Free the
peels or* shells from the fibers and
pith and cbok in boiling water to
cover. Change the water three times
during the first hour of cooking.
Cook until the peels are tender.
Drain. Scrape the white part off
with a spoon, leaving only the yel
low rind.
Cut in shreds. Measure pulp and
use same amount of sugar and fruit.
Wash and wipe oranges and lemons
the night before you want to make
the marmalade. Slice very thin into
a large crock.
Add ten cups cold water and let
stand over night. Bring slowly to
the boiling point and boil half an
hour. Measure and add as much
sugar as there is fruit. Add to grape
fruit pulp shredded rind and sugar
and cook the whole about an hour
and one-half. The marmalade should
set quickly when tried on a cold
saucer. Turn into jelly glasses and
cover with paraffin when cold.

everywhere I go.
But in adjusting them, rather
clumsily with my gloved fingers,
they caught on a button of my coat,
the string broke, and the tiny glo
bules of moonlight rolled to the far
corners of the room!
Tea^s came to my eyes. Jack,
half shaved, hurried to my assist
ance. We could not find all of them.
We never did find three of them.
Jack's patience exasperated me. I
could hardly coax him to relinquish
the search for the missing three.
Surely, my husband must be the
very best man in the world. That
morning he was almost too good.
He could not or he would not per
ceive that I was decidedly out of
temper. And had he seen. I’m sure
he would have hunted up some
plausible excuse for my nervous
tension.

CHAPTER XIII
Old Judge Mason, accustomed to
teeing Barry in times of stress, tried
Ills best to be Jovial.
"Well, boy, what Is It this time?"
"Money." Houston came directly
to the point.
“What's the money for; running
expenses?"
"No. Machinery. I’ve got to have
i good, smooth-working plant—
otherwise I won't be able to live up
to specifications."
"You’re not." and the old lawyer
■mlled quizzically, "going to favor
your dearly beloved friend with the
order, are you?”
"Who?”
"Worthington."
"The district attorney?"
"That was. Plutocrat now. He
came Into his father's money and
bought the East Coast Machinery
Company. He's president." again
the smile, "and I know ha'd be glad
to have your order."
Houston continued the sarcasm.
"I’d be overjoyed to give It to him.
In fact, I think I’d refuse to buy any
machinery if I couldn't get it from
such a dear friend as Worthington
was. It wasn’t his fault that I
wasn't sent to the penitentiary."
"No, that's right, boy.” Old Law
yer Mason was quietly reminiscent.
"He tried his best. It seamed to me
In those days he was more of a per
secutor than prosecutor."
"Let's forget it." Houston laughed
uneasily. "A persecutor . . . You've
given me an idea. Judge. I'm going
to New York.”
Houston was in New York, swirling
along Seventh avenue toward Bell
strand Hospital. There he sought
the executive offices and told his
story. Five minutes later he was
looking at the books of the institu
tion. seaichlng. searching—at Iasi
to stifle a cry of excitement and
ber.d closer to a closely written page
"August second.” he read. "Kil
bane Worthington, district attorney.
Boston. Mass. Acc by Drs. Horton.
Mayer and Brensteam. Investiga
tions into effect of blows on skull.
Eight cadavers.”
With fingers that were almost
frenzied. Houston copied the nota
tion, closed the book, and hurried
again for a taxicab. It yet was only
nine o'clock. If the traffic were not
too thick, if the driver were skillful
He raced through the gate at
Brand Central Just as it was closing.
It was night when he reached Bos
ton. but Houston did not hesitate. A
glance at a telephone book, another
rocking ride in a taxicab, and Barry
stood on the veranda of a large
house, awaiting the answer to his
ring at the bell. Finally it came.
“Mr. Worthington." he demanded.
Kilbane Worthington was seated
at the large table, much in the man
ner which he had affected in court.
“Well,” he asked somewhat
brusquely, ‘‘may I inquire—”
"My name is Barry Houston, son
of the late William K. Houston. You
and I met—in the courtroom. You
once did me the very high honor to
accuse me of murder and then tried
your level best to send me to the
penitentiary for life when you knew
absolutely and thoroughly, that I
was an innocent man!”
CHAPTER XIV
The former district attorney start
ed slightly. Then, coming sti'i
rloser, he peered into the tense,
angry features of Barry Houston.
"A bit melodramatic, aren't you?”
lie asked in a sneering tone.
“Perhaps so. But then murder ic
always melodramatic.
“The point is this: I am thinking
af suing the city of Boston for a
million dollars.”
“You're talking blackmail!”
“I beg your pardon. Blackmail is
lomething by which one extorts
money. I'm here to try to give you
money—or at least the promise of
t—and at the same time allow you
.o make up for something that
ihould weigh rather heavily on your
:onscience.”
“If you'll come to Ahe point.”
“Mr. Worthington, I have con
ducing evidence that you knew I
vas innocent. Further, that you
mew it at the beginning of the trial.
Jut that in spite of this knowledge

"Why—” The former district at
orney suddenly changed the subject.
‘You spoke of a suit you might

Houston w'aited for a moment,
hen went on.
"But personally I don’t want to

noney—that way. I don’t want any

"I thought you said you didn’t

“I don’t. May I ask you what

"I suppose it runs around twelve

"Then you will please allow me to

Billions; surely that is good enougii
ecurity to a man"—he couldn’t re
ist the temptation—"who knows my I

leve me guilty, so I’ve come directly

Kor a long moment Kilbane Wor
liington paced the floor. Then, at
ist. he looked up. '
“All right."
CHAPTER XV
It was a grinning Barry Houston
ho leaped from the train at Taber
acle a week later and ran open
rmed through the snow toward the
siting Ba’tiste. . _
■ You got my telegram?" He asked I
It almost breathlessly.
‘‘Ah. oui! oui, oui, oui! Sacre. and i
you are the wlrard!”
A moment he surged with another I
idea. "But. now. Bu’teese have eet!
H“ shall go to Medaine! He shall tell
her to write to the district attorney
of Boston—that he will tell her—"
"It was part of my agreemen",
Ba'tiste, that he be forced to make
no statements regarding my inno
cence.”
Slowly Ba'tiste nodded and slap
ped the reins on the back of the
hcrse.
“Ba'teese will not see Medaine,”
came at last, and they went on.
Again the waiting game.
A month went by, to bring with it
the bill of lading which told that the
machinery was at last on its way.
March, and a few warm days,
which melted the snows only that
they might crust again. Back and
forth traveled the bobsled to Taber
nncle, only to meet with disappoint
ment.
"I've wired the agent at Denver
three times about that stuff." said
the Tabernacle telegrapher and gen
eral supervisor of freight. “He’s
told me that he’d let me know ae
soon as it got in."
A week more, and winter had re
turned for a last fling.
They tried the bobsled, Ba tiste
and Houston, only to give it up. The
horses floundered and plowed about
in vain efforts at locomotion, at last
to plunge in the terror of a bottom
less road.
A BIT M E L O D R A M A T I C.
AREN'T YOU." HE ASKED IN A
SNEERING TONE.
"Eet is no use," came finally. "The
horse, he can not pull. We must
make the trip on the snowshoe."
They turned back for the bunk
house, to emerge a few moments
later—-bent, padded forms, fighting
clumsily against the sweep of the
storm. Ghosts they became almost
immediately, snow-covered things
that hardly could be discerned a few
feet away, one hand of each holding
tight to the stout cord which lei
from waist-belt to waist-belt, their
only insurance against being parted
from each other in the blinding swirl
of winter.
The features of the agent, as he
stared up from the rattling key,
were not conducive to relief.
"Your stuff's on the way. if that's
any news to you,” came with a wor
ried laugh. "It left Denver this
morning behind Number Eight.
Eight isn't past Tollifer yet.”
"Not past Tollifer?” Houston
stared anxiously. "Why, It should
be at the top of the range by now.”
“Good reason. They’re getting the
snow woise than here. Denver re
ported ten inches at eleven o’clock—
and it’s fifteen miles from the
range.”
He rattled .and banged at the key
fo** a long moment, cursing softly.
Only the dead “cluck” of a ground
ed line answered him.
"Things are going to get bad ir.
this country if this keeps up,” came
at last. ‘There ain’t any too great
a stock of food.”
At last the wire opened again, and
the operator went once more to his
desk.
He bent over the key. His .*ace
went white—tense.
‘God!”
“What’s wrong?" The two men
were close beside him now.
"Number one-eleven’s kicked over
the hill. They’re wiring Denver,
from Crestline. The second plow s
up there in the snowshed with the
crew. One of ’em’s dead. The
other’s—wait a minute, I have to
piece it together.”
A silence, except for the rattling
of the key, broken, jugged, a clat
tering voice in the distance, faint in
the roar and whine of the storm, yet
penetrating as it carried the news of
a far-away world—a world where
the three waiting men knew' that all
had turned to a white \jell of wintry
fury.

Care of the Eye
The commonest eye injury is the
lodging of a cinder or some sort of
speck between the eyeball and the
lids or on the surface of the eyeball.
Don't rub the eye, thereby irri
tating it all the more. Close It and
the tears may wash the speck out or
Into view, so that it can be re
moved.
If this does not succeed, close the
eye and blow the nose hard.
If still unsuccessful, turn down
the lower lid gently and look for the
foreign matter Kemove it with the
corner of a clean handkerchief.
In the case where the speck has
lodged on the Inner surface of the
upper lid it ia often more difficult
even to see the speck.
To remove such an obstruction
from a person's eye. seat him in a
chair with the head bent backward.
Stand behind him and place the
small end of a pen handle about
one-half an inch above the edge of
the lid. Have him look down as you
turn the lid backward. This usually
makes it possible to find and remove
the speck.
However, if you cannot do thir
with the greatest gentleness, don't
do it at all as a slip might cost the
person you are trying to help his
eyesight. It is often best in obsti
nate cases to soak some cloth in
cool water, and put it over both
eyes, then send for a doctor. Do
the same thing when the eyeball is
injured.
When a particularly irritating
piece of foreign matter has finally
been removed, a couple of drops of
castor oil will smooth the eye.
If acid has entered the eye. neu
tralize it with baking soda and
water. Dime or any other alkali
should be neutralized by weak vin
esar solution in water.
HOW TO MAKE THESE
SILK LAMP SHADES
Indeed you must have a table
lump! Books are so much more in
viting when there's a beautiful shad
ed lamp to furnish the light fot
their reading.
And a pretty lamp does so drese
up a room. 116 shade can be jus’
the very touch of color needed t<
give character to its surroundings
But lamp shades are expensive'
—«o they are! But then why no’
make your own as everybody els<
is doing? Not the lacy sort that we
busied ourselves with last year
rather a plain combination of silk
and wool which, on a plain base, is
quite distinctive.
Colorful hand-dyed silks make
the best medium for most of the
new shades. The varigated effect
of such silk is realiy something to
he desired in lighting appliances;
however, where this is not available
pongee in soft tones can be used
with very good result.
The color should depend upon the
colur scheme of your room; how
ever, avoid tones of green. Green
lias a temporarily fatal effect upon
the beauty of anyone near the
light!
Frames for lamp shades can be
purchased for from 25 cents to a
dollar, depending upon the elabo
rateness of the design.
A straight piece of material two
inches wider than the frame and
Slightly longer than Us circumfer
ence at its widest point, should be
cut. After French seaming it, begin
fastening it to the frame at the bot
tom. A back stitch is good for this
because the sewing must be close.
The top should n“xt be fastened in
tho same way. A point of impor
tance is getting an even distribu
tiiin of fabric.
To finish tlio top and bottom tane
straight strips of fabric, one for
each place, just long enough to go
around and turn in nicely. They
should each be wide enough to leave
a margin on the sides all the way
around of about one-inch, and are
applied as binding.
Colored wool is used for the fin
ishing touch. It may harmonize or
contrast and is applied so that it
eovers the edge of tile binding. An
effective way to apply the wool Is in
five or seven rows of very even back
stitching. When this method ts used
the stitches should he so placed that
thev form slanting lines in looking
across them.
Another and easier method Is to
take five strands of wool and hold
them to the shade with an over and
over stitch from the wrong side.
Care should he taken that these
stitches are the same distance apart.
In making a closed top shade the
method ts the same except that there
need be no top binding. A pretty
finish for such a shade is a circular
brad ornament which you can make
ijy simply winding a string of
wooden beads around the top and
fastening them from the w rong side.

•RICHES OR POVERTY
BY MARIA > HALF .
The riches or poverty of child- 1
hood are not determined by
dollars, but by the intelligence or
lack of intelligence of the parents
Kleanor Oates maintains.
She has made a study of children
In practically all lands and under
different social condition". Seme
years ago she wrote "The poor Little
Rich Girl," which was la'er drama
tized. Her latest book is "The Rich '
Little Poor Boy." which is now
being damatized for next season
; “The richest girl is the one who
ha* the greatest opportunity for self
development.” she said. "Often the
child of very poor parents is really
rich because the lack of beauty of
his environment makes him "seek
beauty through his Imagination.
Xccd Imagination
"Within himself he creates a re
treat to which he may send his
thoughts to escape the sordidness
und disappointments he liads about
hint. The imaginative power he ,
builds up in this way. in turn, of
ten points out to him the way of *
really creating the thing he pictures
In his dreams, and supplies the in- ,
centive necessary to develop along
the lines that seem to lead to his
desires.
No child is so poor as the one
so completely supplied with ma
terial things that his incentive to
create is not developed When he
has only a few toys a child ran in
vest anything he picks up with in
terest. Some wheels and a few
boards make an automobile. A rag
doll gives the little girl the same '
outlet for her maternal Instinct as 1
the beautiful bisque one for her love
supplies the loveliness that is lack- 1
ing.
“Another source of poverty of the |’
rich child." says Miss Gates, “lies;
in his never being crossed and hav- !

WAISTLINE MOVES SOUTH
- I
The migratory waistline seems to
have come to anchor somewhere
about one's hips. And one of the
simplest ways to keep it there is by
means of the tie-on blouse which is
justly popular for many reasons.
These blouses are made for sports
and outing wear of jersey and flan
nel. They are made for suit wear
of any silk or cotton goods you may
perfer. For afternoon wear they arc
made of elaborate materials and are
elaborately trimmed. In any case
they are satisfying.
The sort of blouses, you know
that one could never call "waists."
If you get what we mean.
