Last week: The crisis of the sacrifice is met when Bob rises to the occasion and tells the strange people the Sun God wants only happiness on this earth. CHAPTER XXI The celebration: continued until well - past noon, and Bob was forced to do some tactful hinting in order to get more food for him- self and 'Lissa. "Evidently - white gods aren't suppoted to eat much," Bob grum- bled, geod-naturedly. "I'd give & lot to sit down to one of Honey Bee's meals right now." "Me too!" 'Lissa agreed. "Say, I wonder what's happening back in camp, Bob? Don't you imagine Uncle Hades is likely to start after us?" : "Your guess is as good as mine. It all depends on what the cook tells. Unfortunately, we ordered anything, you know. We've got to get out of ""here as "soon as possible." Bob nced not have worried about their escape, for the brown people themselves had been plan- ning. When the huge bonfire had died down and the merrymaking subided the chieftain approached Bob, with great deference. The two men talked, with signs and a few words which Bob had pick- ed up, for more than an hour. A ring of villagers stood around "to watch, at respectful distance. "] think we. understand each other, at last," Bob eventually said to 'Lissa. "The chief here is begging a boon for his people. He to reveal the location hd their village to their enemies. "Lissa Boh. i "Who 'are their enemies? I mean?" "Nobody. ~But they don't un- derstand that, Their = word-of- mouth history tells "of raiding cut-throats, who drove their an- costors out of the cliff castle, you know. They fled here to hide. They've been hiding for a long time, and they don't know any- thing else." "Oh--that's right. And 1 don't much blame them, Bob." started questionably at Now, "Nor I. They begged us not to' destroy them ourselves, too. I promised, provided we would have an escort back up the cave trail? i * » . NO_OTHER-WAY OUT "Lissa wasn't 'sure she wanted "ever to sce the inside of any cave again, But Bob told her there might be no other way out of the -box ¢anyon, even with dangerous climbing The brown chief said so, and his people surely ought t» know. Rock walls can be de- fiant of man. - "However, I'll bet Hades Jones and Holliman and I could figure a way to get out," Bob_was_star- ing speculatively at the cliffs. "Take some lengths of rope, spik- ed shoes, a short miner's pisk, and--" "Bob, aren't you assuming too much, though? These people have no rope. Or shoes, Or metal tools of any kind." "That's right, sweetheart. But I was just supposing. Anyhow 1 want to go back through the cave. We'll have a guide back to my lost shoulder pack. And I mark- ed our own way dodgy to there, you remembe *Lissa shuddered, in memory. But she nodded agreement. "Will you come back here soon?' she asked, ooking up at his eyes, He hesitated a Jong while be- fore answering. "What do you think? * Would you?" He kissed her full on the lips. "I'm going to be busy for a while, getting married, and making love, and--" She blushed at that, smiled at him. "Most gentlemen make love to girls first, then get married sir!" I TIRED FEET MINARD § fl «LL » Linear NT "Not me! I'm going to make love right along, true enough, * hut believe me Miss Lane you're going to marry your business * partner as quickly as we can get 'a license ahd a preacher." "Fraid I'd run away?" teased. "THIS IS UTOPIA" "Maybe. Wouldn't 'blame you a lot. I'm taking no chances." "But honey." She snuggled to she this place again, and you know it. This would fascinate 'any ar- chaeologist." " Lissa girl, this experience has been bigger than any archae- ology, or any othet science. Why this is--this=js a utopia! It's not real, yet it is. It's almost unbeliey- able, The living dead. The exist- ing past. I know it's a heaven for an archacologist, in one way. But you've done something to me here. Don't forget also that we're demigods in this village, super- natural. Just imagine it--the only "white people they've ever seen or heard of. These folk still live back. in 'the fourteenth century, in effect." . "I know, Bob. I have thought about it all day. It would be cruel, inhuman, to disturb them." "I'll- say! Imagine the news- papers. And the newsreel camera- men. And the tourists, and hot dog stands and filling stations popping up on the new road out here--gosh!" "LET'S NEVER TELL" pressed them both. So called white civilization can be very heartless, for all its greatness. The Lost Kingdom would be overrun with white men in a week's time. In a year its people would be disin- tegrated, scattered, confused, saddened, their contentment and perhaps their very existence doomed. "Mary Melissa," Bob was very gentle and very serious, never tell. Let's keep it our love seecet--yours and mine. We found our own happiness here. Why destroy theirs? Let's--let's allow one aboriginal American race to stay unmolested by whites, and so work out its own destiny!" Against his chest she sobbed a little, reached up and patted his now stubble-covered cheek. "Rob- ert Barry," she murmured, "I would haye loved you in any ev- ent, but (right now I think you are the greatest man who ever lived!" Bob managed to obtain a bit of dried ymeat for their food, but they haf to spend another night "in the ca n village. They slept again in the chieftain's house. Many presents were brought to them--mostly useless, valueless, but evidently highly-prized cere- monial sticks, fetishes, feather ornaments, and other things with _ religious significance to as best he could, and returned them, It was toward midnight before they could get to lie down, They slept at once, soundly, hap- pily. NO SOUVENIRS. The chief himself sclected a guide for them next day, a young honored. Probably he had a fe- ward coming to him, Bob sug- gested to 'Lissa, and this was it. He hadn't far to lead them, really, Bob wanted to explore the cave, but he resisted all tempta- tion to take back any evidence of the cave or the hidden valley. When the guide found their pack, and Bob located _ his own chalk" trail markers, he 'turned and ad- dressed the brown boy. The lad never understood, but he was obviously impressed with - Bob's speech. Bob then opened the blades of his pocket knife, in- dicated its possible use, and gave it to the boy. Short of life itself, he couldn't have offered anybody happiness was almost divine. When the lad had disappeared back down the subterranean trail and his torchlight was no lenger visible, Bbo held his own light and--taking "Lissa's hand--Iled the way slowly upward, alone with her again. : (To Be Continued) They Had Influenza In Elizabeth's Time fluenza, according to F.

"addressed envelope if you wish By SADIE B.- CHAMBERS "FOOD FOR HEALTH" Last week 1 spoke of the merit of the publication, Food For Health, published by the Can- adian Medical Association, Con- tinuing with the advice written therein 1 believe it is timely to mention 'this week, the "Shop- ping. Hints" and "Cooking Hints," . two topics which are of present day value to every thrifty house- wife who is interested in the health and economy of her fam- ily. Those of you who are filing the writings of this column will have from last summer, my ar- ticle "Hints oh vegetable cook- ing." Some is a repetition, but I wish to give the information ex- actly as printed in the book "Food For Health". 4 SHOPPING HINTS 1. Use foods "in season" when the price: is lowest. 2, When fresh vegetables are high in price, buy canned vege- tables, particularly tomatoes as they retain their total food value in canning. 3. Cheese may replace some of the milk or meat in ones diet. An ounce of Canadian cheese may be used in place of a glass of milk, 4. In buying the cheaper cuts of meat, select those with little . bone or waste. 5. Foods in bulk -usually are cheaper than those in packages. 6. When possible buy foods in large quantities to get price re- ductiond. 7. Fahiliarize yourself with the "meaning of "government grades" for food. COOKING HINTS 1. Use little water for cooking, except for strongly flavored vege- tables. 2, Save cooking water from vegetables, or liquid from canned. vegetables and use as stock in soups. i 3. Cook vegetables with skins on, if possible. Otherwise scrape or pare thinly, 4. Don't overcook vegetables. "Such vegetables as green cabbage and spinach need only 8 to 10 minutes cooking. Red . cabbage, potatoes, and root vegetables need 20 to 40_minutes. WEEKLY FOOD BUDGET To Insuré Good Health For 2 Adults 1 Child. (Age 1 to 10 years). Food | Amt. Per Week Milk Cheese . Butter .

FOR TWO WEEKS' VACATION Letters of invitation should be addressed to the Neighborhood Yor. kers' Association, country home de pariment, 22 Wellesley Street, To- ronto. They should state-clearly as to how many children are invited; the age and sex preferred,;and give details of the best transportation route, and where the children will be met; also a letter of reference from the minister of their church.

Housekeeping Is A Business It Needn't Be Hard If You Go About It Properly Here are some hints for the in. experienced -housewifesBirst-of -all; don't have anything in your house that is neither useful nor pleasing "to your artistic sense. Don't' buy more furniture at the beginning than you really need, The more you have the more work to be done. You can always add later. Another thing, don't choose furniture that is only raised about halt an inch from the ground -- this wil mean you'll have to shift it every time you clean, or grovel on:your hands and knees. ON TURNING OUT A ROOM Now for the job of turning out a room. Sounds simple -- but how many new housewives know just how ito set about it. First brush thoroughly all small upholstered. . chairs and put them and other eas- ily carried things out of the room. Then thoroughly brush all the lar- ger upholstered furniture and cover with dust shéets. After that sweep the floor. It you have a-large car- pet which cannot be taken up eas- ly, sweep the carpet first. Then --leave the room for a while-to-allow-- every article in the room, clean the Su ledges, top of the door and skirtings, also picture rails, Take down . the pictures, dust and re place. Polish floor surrounds. Use furniture polish twice a year after washing oft the old--polish --}--with-vinegar-and-water, Floors, of ~ course, need polishing more often-- a lot depends upon the kind of floor and the amount of traffic over It. Finally replace small furniture. Salvage Old Wool To Make Blankets , ..
