Prove your own inventive ability during war days by locating substitutes for many of your old lood favorites. Here's a dessert that should please. No sugar is needed. The rennet-custard is already sweetened and the crushed peppermint stick candy does its bit toward catering to that "sweet tooth". And a dessert of this kind furnishes liberal quantities of milk to Ihose tiny tots who refuse to drink plain milk, yet need this food so Chocolate Sundae Rennet-Custard 3 cups milk (not canned) 3 package vanilla rennet powder Chocolate sauce Peppermint stick candy Set out 4 or 5 sherbet glasses. that's easy as failing off a log to make is Pattern 4746, Note how few pattern pieces.

Month Of April A Problem Child That's the thing abou April; it has tantrums, says the New York Times. It is by turns a backward child among the months and a mischievous youngster with disarming wisdom and consideration. It will bring frost and cold rain and even snow flurries; and it will bring days that belong to late May, warm mornings, hot afternoons and balmy nights. It will get you out in the garden in your shirtsleeves in the morning and have you shivering before a hearth fire he same evening. It will flatter you off guard, then kick you in the shins. A part of it is our own impatience to see Spring move in with flowers in her hair. We're weary of waiting. But the greater part of it is simply April being April. We know what's coming, and we'll welcome it, but we still don't like the way that April brings it. April's a problem child. An Actual Truth Stranger Than Fake A man in whom I have complete trust once looked me in the eyes and told me he'd seen a snake, when alarmed, open its mouth and allow 'its six young to crawl down its throat out of sight, and when danger was past, permit them to reappear, Beryl Markham w.'tes in Collier's. Now ... a strange thing about nature fakes is that they are almost always gone one better by actual truths. The snake-swallowing sanctuary idea becomes a minor stunt when compared with certain common tropical fish, which look like little perch. If you want to see sheer magic, tap on the glass of an aquarium which holds a mother, father and 100 (count them) tiny young. The moment after an alarm, there will be only two fish visible; every youngster being snugly hidden within the mouth of a parent. When danger is over, the whole mob is gently spewed forth, rolling head over tail to form a dense, orderly cloud around and behind their parents.

The blast of the powder burned his cheek black from chin to temple. He swung his revolver muzzle in a narrow arc and landed on Curran's face. Shrieking horribly with anguish, Curran turned and ran. Curran's course of flight was taking him toward the horses that the attacking party had left standing. And then of a sudden a shout of triumph burst from Curran's throat, and at the same moment Dave saw the five horses, bunched jgether. He and t wild. Curran l le click of the hammer on a spent irtridge as Dave pulled trigger d and .roared .iga:i for "I'll see yuh again, yuh swine!" he bellowed. "I'll git yuh, Bruce!" And blindly Curran grasped at the mane of the horse that .stood nearest him, and thrust foot into the stirrup. That was where fate intervened and stacked the" cards against him. For that horse was Black Dawn. With a squeal of fury. 'Black Dawn whirled and seized the lore-man's leg in his strong teeth, crushing it, and dragging Curran shrieking from the saddle. He flung him to the ground, and shrieks of man' and horse blended together in a hideous pandemonium as Curran struggled helplessly to escape. Dare tried to whistle to Black Dawn, but the stars were circling overhead, and he collapsed, half conscious, on the ground near the The stinging taste of whisky in his mouth revived him. Dave opened his eyes and sa*v that :t was dawn. He was lying where he had fallen, but a blanket had been spread beneath him. He felt a stab of pain in his left arm, looked at it, and saw that his shirt sleeve had been cut away, and that the wound had been bandaged. "Dave! Oh, Dave, are you all right?" It was Lois bending over him, her tears dropping upon his face. Beside her stood Sheriff Coggswell. The horses and Curran's body were gone. "I'm all right," Dave mumbled. "Black Dawn? He's safe?" "He's safe, ,Dave." It was the sheriff who answered him. Dave was getting ou his feet. "Curran -- Black Dawn trampled him--" he began. "Yeah, he's dead," said Coggswell. "Set down, if yuh won't lie down." He rolled a cigarette and handed it to Dave, squatting beside him. "Sims got them Mexicans rounded up and hogtied. I picked up Miss Lois when I was ridin' in. Everything's jakek boy, and yo're cleared. "Lonergan talked to a certain point last night, and then he shut up tight. So I went down to examine Ferris' body in the gully. Ferris was still alive, and anxious to make an ante-mortem state- ment. He just had time to come through with it before cashin' in. "That skeleton yul. found in the knowed it since yuh spoke about his leg bavin' been broke. Rowland was kicked by a hawss and broke his leg. He always limped after that, on account of its havin' been badly set. "Ferris lured Rowland into the hills with a story of gold deposits, and murdered him. Then he cooked up that story about Rowland's bavin' forged the clieck and skipped the country, so as to git the whole rights to'the Cross-Bar in his own "Then he got into difficulties. Either he went to Lonergan, or Lonergan found out. Lonergan had Ferris where he wanted him after that. He got that twenty thousand, and he got a mortgage on the Cross-Bar by means of a fictitious loan that Ferris never received. He bled him .steady, till Ferris was des- •"The: ; put ted for Mis souri, and Lonergan km would do just what he told him. So, when Ferris refused to quit and leave ibis part of the country, there was nothing to do but put him on tbe.spot, Ferris bein' ready to face a lite sentence if he could git back at Lonergan.

"Went back to-Lonergan with them fact-, and Ferris' cross under the signature I wrote out in the dark, at the bottom of the gully. Lonergan broke down and told the rest, plough he refused to sign a .confession. He claimed Curran murdered Mr. Hooker, but it's a safe bet Lonergan sent him to do it. We can't prove that, but we got enough evidence to send Lonergan Coggswell paused in his story and rolled Dave another cigarette. "Miss Lois is Blane Rowland's daughter?1 he said. "Rowland's wife had divorced him, and he'd come West, leavin' Miss Lois with her mother. He'd never spoke about his wife and daughter, but Lonergan found out when he went through his papers. Alter that, Lonergan's main idea was to keep Miss Lois from gittin' her share of the •ranch. ' "He got the Hookers to take her Irom the orphanage where she'd .been put after her mother died, and kept her on the mesa, so as Ho have her under his eye. Well, Hooker had been findin' out things, and got to shootin' off his mouth, So Lbhergan sent Curran to the cabin to kill him and put the crime tand now, Mis '"Way Lots is. halt-owner ot the Cross-Bar, and if Ferris had any heirs, th«y Igot to pay up that twenty thousand that was stolen, which means in effect that Miss Lois is the sole ,,uner.

Yuh won't need to be ridin' through the mountains with me now. Why, yo're an heiress." "Yes, Dave," answered Lois wistfully. She kneeled beside him and laid her cheek against his. "Is that all that you have to tell me, "I reckon I told yuh all, Lois. But things have changed now, and "I shall never be any different, Dave. I never change. Dave, don't tell me you--you've stopped caring?" "Stopped carin'? Why, I--I--" Dave caught the little figure in his arms and looked into her woeful face.
