Actually, too, the achievement of a rich, velvety pro- duct is quite a simple feat. For makers, however, who. aren't up to all the tricks of the trade, the Consumer Section. of the Dominion Department of Ag- riculture offers two rules, which, if followed will result in glossy gravy, free-from-lumps, the pride of any housewife, Two Rules Rule number one deals with the proper blending of the flour and fat. They should be well blended, and the flour browned before the liquid is added. Remember . . . the gravy won't brown after the liquid is added. Rule number two is concerned with adding and blending the liquid. It may be water, meat or chicken stock, liquor from canned "Tor cooked vegetables, milk or to- mato juice. Whatever it is, the liquid should be cold when added to the fat-flour mixture. Also, it should be added gradually and the mixture stirred constantly during the operation. Gravy should not be made too far in advance of serving, other- wise it will dry out, become thick and pasty and form a scum on top which is difficult to blend back smoothly into the gravy, For late- to-dinner members of the family, keep. the gravy hot in the top of a double boiler, closely covered.

At least, I'm man enough not to ruin your life-- because I love you. It's goodby, Pam!" . She could not speak; she let him go, but she stood still, tears blinding her. He would not take her to fight his battle, there was a tomult in her heart, she wanted to run after him to tell kim she would face anything for him, but he didn't want her to go! The hot blood rushed to her face; then she remembered the anguish in his eyes--and he was going! She stood holding her breath, listening to his footsteps going. away down the long hall and, at last, the closing of the door, If there was something that she could do; wasn't there some- thing? Suddenly her heart leaped --the jade god! She would make Burleson tell her everything he knew. * & She went softly across the hall, She wanted to be sure that Lan- don had gone before she went back to the library. There was a stir in the rooms beyond and then Aunt Lynn's voice, cold and crisp, freezing someone out. Pam hid herself from them, trying to slip by, bu she could not shut her ears, Te "I'm sorry. I knew your mother, Archie," Mrs. Lynn said icily, "but I can't pardon this." She was freezing Landon out! He mumbled something about Teddy Banks, and not being him- self, "If -you mean you'd been drink- ing--that only makes it worse," she replied sharply. "As for Banks --yau know what I think! I told the servants long ago not to ad- mit him again." "And. now I'm 'in for that, too, I suppose!" Landon cried. "When I tried to undo -it, too," "You'll have to pardon a wom- an who knew your mother, for speaking the truth, Archie," she retorted suavely. "You see, I'm not sure that your way of undo- ing it was--much better!" . He stammered, more apologies and her icy voice trickled back at him or "He's done!" Pam thought. "And I'm glad of it--the coward!" +k Then Pam slipper past that cur- tain arch and found the little door in the corner; it oper ba library beside the Arephce. t was still in there; her first thought was that there was no one in the room; the shades had not drawn; a street-lamp garished out- side, the fire on the hearth was low. Then, beyond the shaded lamp, she saw the outline of her uncle's gray head. She thought he was asleep, ~his- eyes were closed, the red streak had faded into ashen gray, he looked ill. - It seemed impossible that he could be asleep after all that violence! She saw the scattered bits of pol- ished jade on the floor, shattered like poor Mark's hope of freedom long ago. She stooped softl, and began to pick up the fragments. She found the head unhurt, green beard and all, and the distorted mouth. grined up at her. She had it in her hand when she lifted been ~The Jade God MARY IMLAY TAYLOR her eyes again and found Burle- son watching her, "Throw that thing away, Pam!" he said sharply, * * * But she did not; she came near- er, holding out her pink palm with the green head in it. i "Uncle Herbert, Mark's uncle brought that when they were to- gether tor the last time; brought it for you, and he had it when Mark saw him last. He gave it tc you afterwards," she paused, letting her words sink in, but he siid nothing, only looked intently at her. "Don't you see?" she pleaded, "he gave it to you after Mark left him, He was killed after that. You can clear Mark, if you will!" "Oh, can I?" his gray lined face was cruel when he twisted his lips like that! The girl looked steadily at him with the eyes of youth. "Yes, you can! You must--" She came near- er. . "Uncle Herbert, try to re- member--you must! © He can't-be left like this--he didn't do itl" * *® ] Burleson returned her look steadily, his grayness seemed to increase, for the tempest of his anger had left him weak. "Why are you so sure he didn't do it?" he asked raspingly. She broke at that, suddenly childish and forlorn, "I know--I love him!" He was dumfounded. "Extra- ordinary!" he said, after a moment, "You young girls now--good Lord, what would your grandmothers have said." "Who cares?' Pam stormed. "We're young--youth has a right to live!" "And age has to clear out, eh?" his face twisted again into his mocking smile. "If it stands in the way of life-- yes!" she cried cruely. "Think of all Mark's lost--fifteen years of youth! It's cruel, it's wicked. Uncle Herbert, you must have known something; there was some- one else; why didn't you say so?" x x 4 He considered her, his head sunk between his thin high shoulders. She was so splendidly young and so cruel in her youth. "Suppose 1 suspected," he - said slowly, "suppose I didn't know, but if I'd said a word it would have pulled down a family, a good wife, sons or daughters, and proved nothing--perhaps!" "Then you did suspect!" ghe cried. "You did," and you let Mark go--for some old sinner in high place!" "I didn't say that; I said, 'sup- pose." . "You meant it! Was any old man worth Mark's splendid youth, Uncle? He couldn't hel" "Perhaps his people were, Think of the disgrace" "Think of it> Yes!" she cried, flinging the little green head down, "think of what he's got to face-- Mark! He won't let me face it with him. He refuses to let me do it." "You mean you asked this--this ex-convict tc marry vou, Pam?" he cried, sitting up in his chair.

I met the train and waited eargerly near the baggage car--but alas there were no little chicks. I could hardly believe it . +. I thought the trainman must have overlooked them. However the train moved on, and I, per- force, went home, minus the chicks. Naturaly I thought the shipper had missed the train and that Le would either phone or deliver them in person. Noon came ani there were no chickens and no telephone call. So then I called "long distance" myself. The hatchery-man would hardly believe me when | said the little biddies had not arrived. "But I took them to the station at six o'clock this morning," he said, "Did you put them on the train yourself?" I inquired. "Well, no, but I gave them to the shipping agent. If you will wait a minute I will make inquiries and ring you back." In a short while that is what he did--and told me the chickens had been shipped all right but on the wrong train! They had gone to To- ronto. In all probability they would be sent dowr on "the Peanut" that evening. My poor little chicks--shut up in boxes and shunted around from one place to another. What will they be like when I get them, I won- dered. « « » At 7.30 T was at the station again . . . and this time, so were the chickens. I opened the box with consid¥rable trepidation and found not dead and dying chicks--but 150 lively, chipping little balls of black fluff, as warm and happy as you please. Joy riding must have agreed with them as I have since lost only two. Now, of course, 1 spend quite a lot of timc running back and forth tc the brooder house--mainly to see that it doesn't get too hot. The sun is so warm and bright these early epring days.
