The chieftain with his family and ser- vants vacated hia house, best in the kingdom and with consider- able Pomp offered it to Bob and 'I'ssa. The hospitality was gen- uine. "But where aie the doors?'' 'Lissa v.hispered. There was no opening in sisrht on the ground level â€" no windows, doors or holes. Two ladders led to a second storey ledge, how- ever. It was a rather imposing house, two stories high and pc- haps double the size of any other. It was strongly made of stones and plastered mud. "In the ceiling," Bob answei- ed. "The pueblo Indians still build that way occasionally." '"You mean â€" ?" "Yes, you have to climb un a ladder to the first-storey roof, thnn down again inside, through an opening in the ceiling. And those other ladders lead to the second floor. That makes it auto- matically a fortress, see?" "Enemies couldn't get inside so easily, you mean?" "That's right, 'Lissa. The lad- ders are pulled up after the resi- dents are all in at night. No doors, no ladder-i â€" not bad!" "Seems mighty inconvenient." the girl suggested. "Sure, and doubtless unneces- satry now. But very important in the old days. The simple folk evi- dently cling to old customs, re- gardless." * * * A New Powwow They found the first floor rooms used for storage of grains, skins, tools and other valuables. Beds of grass and woven mats were on the second storey floors, inside small rooms. "You c"an stay up there," Bo') said, "and I'll curl up somewhere down here in the store rooms. I'll pull in the ladders for you." They didn't get to retire im- mediately, though. They had hardly finished exploring when they were hailed from outside. They hastened to the ledge and peered down. There stood the chieftain and two other men, evTdently an offi- ^2i2 SENDS 1,000 "BRITISH CONSOLS" "EXPORT" Of "LEGION" Cigarettes to any single MiltoOi Address Ovwseas « Mall Or«Ur and R»mil»onc« lo; â€" ovenscas oipahtiwint W.

The chief was pointing and signing. Bob hastened down. This new powwow, lighted by torches, lasted fully a half hour. In the end, the three dark men led their maidens away, and Bob came back up the house ladder. "What is it?" 'Lissa demand- ed, anxiously. "It's awful!" he whispered, in a strained voice. "Things have tak- en a much more serious tura. Those girls â€" they are sacrificial maidens, 'Lissa!" "Sacrificial?" She looked in- tently at him. "Yes! The old chief says they have chosen the most beautiful girls in the kingdom for the white gods to see. You and I have to pick the one we want sacrificed to the sun!" "But â€" but â€" how? Sacrificed how. Bob? You mean â€" '' He nodded. "It means death for her even though it's honor for us!" "We Daren't Refu«e" The thought appalled them, and for a moment the two were sil- ent. Finally Bob spoke again. "He wanted us to choose to- night, but I stalled foir time. Told him the sun was down now, and it couldn't be done at night. But to-morrow â€" goodness !" "Couldn't we refuse?" "We don't dare. Our own lives might be jeopardized. It's a deli- cate situation. It's normal, too, but I never thought I'd e.\per- ience it. Human sacrifices were common among most savage people. The early tribes in Mexi- co nearly all did it, the Mayan, Aztecs and such. They had spec- ial stone altars for it. Removed the heart, and had feasting the while. This custom links up with the Asiatic countries, too.'' Mary Melissa barely listened to the rest of his explanation, with its scientific backgrounci. She was too horrified. She heard him, though, when he told her the chief himself had promised to officiate at the ceremonies to- morrow. "You mean he will â€" he's the one toâ€"?" Bob read her thoughts. There was great anxiety in liis tone as he answered. "Yes. He will honor us in the highest form possible, by person- ally slaying the maiden we select. We will occupy se^ts of honor at the ceremon.v beforehand and aft- erward." For Human Sacrifice Mary Melissa couldn't quite grasp it. Charged with emotional strain, she shivered a little and almost groaned. This was fantas- tic, unreal, impossible. She wanted to flee, to have Bob grasp her hand and run with her out of this nightmarish region forever. Again she shut her eyes and squeezed them tight, as if trying to blot out the whole ugl.v dream. But her mind was normal, she knew. It was real, it was true. Her braiu was absolutel.v clear, alert. She had studied the brown girls closely while Bob conferred with the chief. They were not preLty in the Caucasian sense, but they were handsome and strong. They must have been K> or so, with muscles developed by toil in the fields. Their hair was done in peculiar tight whorls. Their garment', of roughly wov- en fiber, had been crudely but effectively dyed in colors and de- .^Isns which 'Li.s.sa sense<l had a religious significance. Bob had told her snatches of such things, .she recalled. 'Lissa peered now over the roof riiii, but the maidens and their escorts had disappeared in the darkness, somewhere in one of ttie other houses. The village was singularly quiet. There was no calling, singing, visiting or other manifestation of communal rou- tine. She had swift mental pic- tures of New York at night, by ciintrasl. Bob reached to pat her h;«nd. encouragingly. "Don't let li get you," he half whispered. "We still have time. .\n.! as yet we art jti no danger ourselves. That's sum*- thing. .\ whole lot, in fact." « • * Preferably A Girl She realized the truth of that. These strange lost people might indeed have decided to sacrifice the visitors! For a moment sha almost wished they had. The ap- fi'ehension of death couldn't be much worse than this nerve- wracking tension. She thought again of New York, and the im- passible chain of adveniurci which had followed when she ans- wered a harmless newspaper want-ad. She smiled to herself then, even through her despair. "Do you think they know one of them is to be sacrificed?" she demanded of Bob, in an awed whisper. "Yes. The chieftain said so. They consider it an honor to be chosen, and each one hopes you'll pick heir. Their idea, you see, ii that the sacrificed girl becomes a lesser goddess herself." 'Lissa shuddered anew. "How often does this happen? This human â€" murder?" "I don't know. Probably ones a year. But it isn't exacty mur- der. It's all in the point of view. Now you take â€" " • "NO, NO, NO!" Mary Melissa wasn't going to "take" anything. She wasn't even going to listen to any more scientific talk about it. She was exhausted, emotion- ally and physically. She could not possibly have restrained the sobs that shook her then. Bob said no more. He just held her tightly as she cried against him, looking out the while to see if her outcry had caused any sort of alarm. He was badly shaken, himself. He gave thought to one or two wild plans for flight. Maybe, in the dead of night â€" ! But no, his reasoning corrected him. He realized they couldn't get out in secret. News of their pres- ence had of course excited the vfhole village, and their slightest move would become known in- srtantly. Besides, this place was a gigantic trap by physiography: he would simply have to man- auvex a way back up the cave. Only their utter fatigue drove them to sleep, eventually, hud- dled together there on the second storey ledge.

CHAMBERS I hope many of you have ob- tained a copy of 'Food for Health' in peace and war, a little booklet published by the Canadian med- ical association. This publicatiou is worthy of special mention and from time to time we shall en- deavor to arrange menus for you based on the fundamentals of thL* advice. The first purpose of the book is to present in a compact and practical form what doctors and scientists have learned about food through years of study and research. Past history informs us that in times of war, tuberculosis, influenza etc., spread rapidly, claiming the lives of many, who have been weakened from the lack of the proper food. The homemakers of the present have a gigantic problem before them. By providing this necessary balanced food they must keep their families fit, that all mav reach the highest level of health, that we may all be able to face the task that may be ours. The protective foods of course have special mention and one of the highlights of the publication is a reminder that the Canadian farirer produces all the foods nec- essai-y for health. Canadian- grown vegetables such as toma- toes, turnips, cabbage and fruits in season (apples, berries, cher- ries, plums, peaches, pears) can replace the more expensive im- ported fruit.-:. Hence we are ad- vised to buy fruits and vegetables in season. Meals are budgeted a. cording to adults and children and hence the families of differ- ent size and the remarkably low cost of 26 cents daily cost per person is reached. We are re- minded more money cannot buy better nutrition, â€" it will simply buy a greater variety of more ex- pensive foods. When there is not mach money to spend for food, first on the shopping list should be milk and cheese; then pota- toes and whole grain products; next raw fruits and vegetables; and lastly meat, fish and eggs. The fourth in the group for purchasing is cereal products. First, bread. Then in the second (ceroa') group is given the choice of rolled oats, rolled wheat, flour, ri'-c, cornmeal, macaroni, ta;)- ioca. Under the third group come the sweets and flavorings, where tea and coffee are also allowed. Lastl.v cod liver oil is to be given growing children and those work- ing indoors, from October to June, â€" the months lacking sun- shine. Their suggestions for meals, â€" Breakfast Fruit â€" Tomato juice, apple, a))[)icsauce or fruit in season. Cereal â€" Rolled oats or rolled wheat with milk. Eggs â€" scrambled, poached or jjoiled, one or more a week. Buttered toast occasionally with marmalade or jam. Tea or coffee for adults. m\[^ for children. Lunch or Supper Soup (creamed vegetable) or Cheese sandwiches toasted (if de.'iired) or , Try Irain Irip To Hudson's Bay A Novel Summer Travel Ex- perience Is Made Available to Canadians by Special C.N.R.

Museum Just For Children Norwalk Institution, Only A Year Old, Now Needs Uarger Quarters .\lhough it opened only last year, the Norwalk (Connecticut) Children's Museum has progress- ed so greatly that it already needs new quarters. In its constantly-expanding ac- tivities, it is patterned after tha original children's niuseum in tha world, in Brooklyn.

All their exhibits are arranged with the young folk in mind, and so are their ac'civities. Of thesa there must be plenty, to keep the children occupied.
