HADES JONES â€" p-oneer; nember Barry'* party. « • « Last week: The crisis of the •acrifice i« met when Bob riset to the occasion and telt« the strange people the Sun Cod wants only happiness on this earth. CHAPTER XXI The celebration continued until well past noon, and Bob w?5 forced to do some tactful hinting in order lo get more food for him- self and 'Lissa. 'Evidently white gods aren't supposed to eat much," Bob tjrum- bied, j.^od-naturedly. "I'il give t lot to sit down to one of Honey Bee'^ meals right now." "Me too!" 'Lissa agreed. "Say. I wonder what's happening baw in camp. Bob? Don't you imagine Uncle Hades h likely to ttart after us?" "Your gue.ss is as good as mine. It all depends on what the cook tells. Unfortunately, we ordered her not to tell anything, you know. We've got to get out of here as soon as possible." Bob need not have worried about tieir escape, for the brown people themselves had been plan- ning. When the huge bonfire had died down and the merrymakina- subided the chieftain approached Bob, with great defei-ence. The two men talked, with signs anj a few words which Bob had pick- ed up. for more than an hour. A ring- of villagers stood arcund to wf.tch, at respectful dist.incp. "I think we understand each other, at last," Bob eventually said to 'Lis-sa. "The chief here is begging a boon for his people. He petitions us never to reveal the location of their village to thoir eremies." 'Liss.; started questionably at Bob. "W;-Ki are their i>nemies? Now, I mean?" "Nobody. But they don't un- dersrand that. Their word-of- niouth history tells of raiding cut-throats, who drove their an- (.•estors 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." "Ohâ€" that's right. And 1 don't much blame them. Bob." "Xor I. They begged us .not to destroy them ourselves, too. I piomised. provided we would have .".n escort back up the cave trail." * « * .SO OTHER WAY OUT 'Lissa wasn't sure she wanted ever to see the inside of any cave again. But Bob told her there might be no other way out of the box canyon, even with dangerous climbing The brown chief said 3c, and his people surely ought t> know. Reck walls can be de- fiant of man. "However, I'll bet Hades Jones and Holliraan and 1 could figure a way to get out," Bob was siar- ing specalatively at the cliffs. "Take some lengths of i-ope. spik- ed s'noes, a short miner's pisk, and â€" " "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 I v. ant to go back through the cave. We'll have a guide back to my lost shoulder pack. .A.nd I mark- ed our own way down to there, you remember." 'Lissa shuddered, in memory. But she nodded agreement. "Will you come back here soon?" she asked, looking up at his eyes. He hesitated a long while be- fore answering. "What do yo'i 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 â€" ' She blushed at that, smiled at him. "Most gentlemen make love to girls first, then get mairied sir!" TIRiO FEBT "Not me! I'm going to mak« love right along, true enough, but believe me Miss Lane you're going to marry your business partner as quickly as we can get ^ license and a preacher." "Fraid I'd run away?" jhe tca.sed. "THIS IS UTOPIA" "Maybe. Wouldn't blame you a lot. I'm taking no chances." "But honey." She snuggled to him then. "You will want to seo 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 other science. Why this is â€" this is a utopiii! It's not real, yet it is. It's almost unbeliev- able. The living dead. The exist- ing past. I know it's a heaven for an archaeologist, 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 â€" the only while 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 (.•ruel, inhuman, to disturb them." "I'll say! Imagine the news- papers. -A.nd the newsreel camera- men. And the tourists, and hot dog stands and filling station.s popping up on the new road out here â€" gosh !" "LET'S NEVER TELL" The enormity of the affair im- pressed them both. So called whiie 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 Melis.sa," Bob was very gentle and very serious, "let's never tell. Let's keep it our love secTft â€" yours and mine. We found our own happiness here. Why destroy theirs? Let's â€" let's aflow 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 have 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 meat for their food, but they had to spend another night in the canyon village. They slept again in the chieftain's house. Many presents were brought to them â€" mostly useless, ~ valueless, but evidently highly-prized cere- monial sticks, fetishes, feather ornaments, and other things with religious significance to the brown folk. Bob showed gratitude 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 selected a guide for them next day, a youn^ brown lad who appeared signally honored. Probably he had a re- 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 th>? 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, bvit 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 itsch", he couldn't have offered anybody a gift more wonderful. The boy',-; liappiness was almost divine. When the lad had disappeared back down the subterranean trail and his torchlight was no longer vi.sible. Bbo held his own light and â€" taking 'l.issa's hand â€" led the way slowly upward, alone with her again. (To Be Continued) They Had Influenza In Elizabeth's Time There's nothing new about in- fluenza, according to F. Webster Mc-Bryde. Ohio State I'niversity geography instructor and author- ity on Central .\nierica. Writing in the Bulletin of the History of Medicine, McBryde pre- sents eviilonce that influenza was epidemic in Guatemala in the 16th century. It is believed that there were three epidemics in that cen- tury in 1!>'.>3. 1.5.'JJ»-t5r.2, and 1576.

CHAMBERS "FOOD FOR HEALTH" Last week I spoke of the merit of the publication, Food For Health, published by the Can- adian Medical Association. Con- tinuing with the advice written therein I 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 economv of her fari- ily- Those of you who are filing the writings of this column will have from last summer, my ar- ticle "Hints on vegetable cook- ing." Some is a repetition, but I wish to give the information ex- actly as printed in the book "Food For Health". SHOPPING HINTS 1. Use foods "in season" wiien the price is lowest. 2. When fresh vegetables are high in price, buy canned vege- tables, particularly tomatoes ;'S thoy 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 gla.-s of milk, 4. In buying the cheaper cu.3 of meat, select tho=e 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- ductions. 7. Familiarize 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. 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.

Children of Poor Need A Holiday Neighborhood Workers' Aa- •ociation of Toronto Strivsa ^. to Provide Outings In Coun- try For Thousands of Child ren lu addition to the children and mothers sent each summer to Cajnp Bolton, the Neighborhood Workers' Asaociatiua of Toronto, strtvee to provide holidays for some 1,200 children who for various rea- sons cannot be sent to camp. Through the country home de- partmeut these children are sent to homes within a radius o< 150 milja from Toronto. The Neighbor- hood Workers' Association pays all transportation costs but no board is paid. Persons living in the couu- try who have room in their home for one or two children generously co-operate with the N.W.A. by tak- ing city children for a two weeks' vacation period free of charge. N.W.A. PAYS TRANSPORTATION It ia not exi>ected that the hos- tess will lay out any elaborate plan of entertainment for the child. Any home that can offer a garden â€" or a nearby greeu field (practically un- known to many children who live in the factory areas); three plain, nourishing meals a day, and a com- fortable bed, can be a happy holi- day spot. FOR TWO WEEKS' VACATION* Letters of invitation should tie addressed to the Neighborhood Yor- kers' Association, country home de- partment, 21; Wellesley Street. To- ronto. They should stale 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. All children are medically exam- ined before leaviu" Toronto. Housekeeping Is A Business It Needn't Be Hard If Vou Go About It Properly Here are some hints for the iu- e.xperienced hotisewife. First of all, don't have anything iu your house that is neither useful nor pleasing to your artistic sense. Don't buy more fm-niture 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 half an inch from the ground â€" this will 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 â€" but how many new housewives know just how to 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 sheets, .\fter that sweep the floor. It you have a large car- pet which cannot be taken up eas- ily, sweep the carpet first. Then leave the room tor a while to allow the dust to settle. Return and dust every article in the room, clean the window ledges, top of the door and skirtings, also picture rails. Take down the pictures, dust and re- place. Polish floor suri-ounds. Use furniture polish twice a year after washing off the old polish with vinegar and water. Floors, of course, need polishing more often â€" a lot depends uiwn the kind of floor and the amount of traffic over it. Finally replace small furniture. Salvage Old Wool To Make Blankets Women's Institute Passes Along Thrifty Idea to Others There's another bit of economy that can be added to the salvaging nearly every one is doing these days. Rather than discard old socks, sweaters, bathing suits and und-;r- wear, in fact anything that has a particle of wool in it, save the gar- ment for making blankets. Scarborough .Junction (Out.) Wo men's Institute passes along the idea to other clubs who want to have warm blankets made at a re- duced price.

Ont aria, a bed cover can be made for J3.00. a saving of $1.25. suggests the Scarborough Junction branch president. Mrs. A. C. Redpath.

Designed For Home Harmony Curtains and Draperies Both Should Relate to Room's Col- our Scheme Windows should not only be de- corative and attractive by them- selves, but should also harmonize with the entire room. Curtains and draperies serve a variety of purposes: they may also temper the light, soften the glasi aud woodwork, bring color and soft- ness to the room and windows, and frame interesting views, give a feel- ing of privacy, and shut out unat- tractive views. Colored curtains aud draperie* should relate to the color of the wall; patterned curtains and drap^ eries should contain something of the wall color. A pattern that haa from four to six colors may be rs- peateil elsewhere in the room and it may establish a color scheme. For a room without much pat- tern on the wall paper, or iu books and hanging pictures, patterned curtains or draperies give friendlt uess aud interest. TWO ROOMS .MATCHING Plain-colored curtains or draper- ies may match the color of plaia walls, may harmonize with them, or may repeat some important col- our in a figured wall and at tha same time harmonize with the rui and other furnishings. Two rooms may be iu harmony if the curtains are the same gen- eral color iu both rooms, eveo though patterned in one room and plain in the other. British Women Doinsr Without Give Up Luxuries As Result of New War Budget â€" "Just Make Oo" Slogan As Regards Clothes and Cosmetics British women must "make do." Cosmetics, silk stockings, house- hold goods, kettles, clothes â€" all the things women in pre-war days thought essential â€" have beon all ruthlessly cut for the duration ot the war in Britain, Aud no hoarding either. Each must do her fair shara of going without. PRODUCE FEW NON- ESSENTIALS The object of the new order Is U> make more goods available for tho building up of export trade, to re- lease workers and new materials for more important war work. Thousands of men and womea ire engaged on the production at Mon-essentials and they will be all switched over as rapidly as pos- sible lo war work. . lu consequence the humble art- icles of household ware that hava been treated roughly when plenty more were available will be respect- eil now that they cannot be replao- ed.
