[Three times he dashed the pailful at I the ilre; and when the last spark had 'sizzled and gone out, he jumped for the engine and started the Bullet once more.

In Russia, where the writ- er lived for a number of years, they have the plan of making a "perok," or pie of a special kind, to be eaten with soups.

This is made by roll-l ing a thin baking powder biscuit dough, covering it with chopped cook- ed vegetables, such as carrots, turnips ‘and cabbage, covering with k flat crust and belong in a large oblong pan.
