RABELAIS PROVED A PROPHET
Events He Recorded, In Tale for the
Nursery, Have Now Become
Assured Facts.
When Pantagruel took leave ot the
good Gargantun, his royal father, and
took shipping at the port of Thalassa
for Catay, In upper India, he completed
In four months the voyage which It
took tho Portuguese three years to
complete, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Many leagues then lay be
tween father and son, but they com
municated. fJL1hnt Is the point In turn
ing over the leaves of the euro's book
at this hour, when the dream of the
dominion of the air, which has haunted
tho imaginations of men for centuries,
hns como true. Pantagruel, busily
making purchases at tho fair some
where In Asia, hears a Joyful cheer
and sees that one of his father's ad
vice boats has arrived "that Ship was
light as a Lark, so that It seem'd rather
to fly on tho Sea than to sail."
Pantagruel nsked Mallcorn, the bear
er of dispatches, whether he had Con
znl, tho heavenly messenger. ,l'Yea,
Sir, hero it Is swndlcd up in this Bas
ket.' It was a grey Pigeon which Pan
tagruel cnus'd to bo undressed and a
white- lUbbon ty'd to Its Feet The
Pigeon presently flew away and In
two hours It compass'd tho air, and
Gnrgautua, hearing It had a white rib
bon on, was Joyful and secure In his
son's welfare." That Is Rabelais' lit
tlo story, n talo for thp nursery, but
with nil the potentialities which, In the
-fullness of time, have been realized.
Still Tl mil to Plant Late Vegetables
Tho lntter part of July is the best
time to plant such vegetables as
turnips, beets, carrots, endive and
bush beans for winter use, says the
University Extension Service. Let
tuce and radishes may also be plant
ed then for late use. Seeds sown
at this time of year need not be
sown as deep as earlier. Many peo
plo make a practice of saving their
own garden seeds. Lettuce, radish,
squash, sweet corn, tomatoes, beuns,
peas, and cucumbers nre some of tho
vegetables from which seed can be
saved to advantage.
NAN'S BURGLAR
By GLADYS P. ANDERSON.
I'm' ut Mure Mutton Advocated
On account of dry weather in Wy
oming and Montana, sheep are being
rapidly placed on tho market from
those states. Considering the high
price of hogs nnd beef steak, mutton
ought to be more generally used, ac
cording to University extension work
ers. The use of mutton at least
once a week is advocated, both as an
economy measure and to encourage
the sheep industry. Americans have
been eating only 6 pounds of mutton
pur coplta to 71 pounds of pork and
(57 pounds of beef. The use of mut
ton one day a week would increase
its consumption about four times.
Aiij Woman Can 31 tike Perfect Jelly
Many housewives insist that the
making, of good jelly depends upon
luck, but any housewife may always
have perfect jelly if sho knows tho
principles of good jolly making nnd
follows a few genera) rules, says a
circular called "Jelly Making" sent
out by the Extension Service, Col
lege of Agriculture, Lincoln. Tho
circular gives .viilunblu information
on making jelly. It describes a per
' feet jelly thus: "Beautifully colored,
, transparent, palntablc, quivers hut
does not How when removed from tho
mold. Cuts easily with spoon, but
retains shape. Nelthor syrupy, gum
my, sticky, nor tough."

Thu Hernld 1 year, 51.2G.
In front of Nan 0 ray's house roared
nnd surged the great Atlantic. The
waves floating an occasional ilshlug
vessel were nil that passed before her
windows. Nnn vu not an old worn
uu, somewhere between twenty-eight
and thirty. She lived alone and kept
the old house In good order. Always
on Saturdays she drove to the village
three miles uwuy for groceries; on
Sundays she drove . as regularly to
church. These simple excursions
were nil that brightened her life.
There was only one other house
near hers, the Hansons', and they had
been on unfriendly terms for years!
Once the son, Dick Hanson, hud paid
attention to Nan and Dick's mother
had Interfered and broken off the en
gagement. There wasn't n prettier girl at
Itocky Coast than Nan Gray; still she
had never married since Dick Hanson
left town.
There were times as the years went
on that she longed for him to come
ugaln. She wns often afraid alone In
her house, especially in the winter
time. She confessed her fears to no
one, hardly to herself.
"What good does it do to be afraid?
I've got to live alone and there's no
way out of It," she said.
Nan had heaped her stove with the
last of her wood, but she feared It
would burn out before morning. There
wns no water In the house and no
path to the well. A sense of utter
loneliness smote her as she sat alone
that evening listening to the roaring
of the wind nnd the breaking of the
waves. At eight o'clock she went up
stairs to bed. It was a long time be
fore she.went to sleep; then she slept
soundly for a few hours. It was per
haps four o'clock when she awoke with
a deadly terror.
There was someone In the house.
She lay still, listening fearfully. She
hcartl movements soft and guarded.
Later on she heard the pump out in
the yard, which had a peculiar creak.
Presently the first cold glimmer of
dawn was In the room and she heard
u door shut below then everything
was still. She thought of her mother's
sliver teaspoons and the gold watch
which had belonged to her father. Of
course they were gone. But when she
reached the kitchen she gasped and
stared.
A bright lire was burning in the
stove and the room wns full of the
aroma of coffee. A pan of warm bls-J
cults sat on the stove.
In the frying pan was a bit of beef
steak all ready to cook.
The water pall was full of fresh
water, nnd tho woodbox was piled
high with dry wood. Outside the
storm was raging, but tho kitchen
seemed like a little oasis of warmth
and comfort in the midst of It.
Nan tried to think who had done It,
but she was entirely at a loss. She
ate suspiciously, almost us if she
thought the food might be poisoned.
The .next night Nnn retired early, to
awaken as she had done 'the night be
fore, nt sounds below. She got out of
bed, and throwing her kimono hastily
about her, she groped her way to an
old-fashioned chest which had be
longed to her father, and drew forth
an old rusty revolver. "It may do to
scare them away," Nan thought, ns
she started down stairs. When she
opened the kitchen door, her face waS
ghastly.
Tho fire was burning, nnd the tea
kettle boiling.
She had only a vision of a figure
dnrtlng swiftly Into the pantry. Nan
sprang to the pantry dOor and drew
the bolt. A cold shiver ran over her.
"Who are you?" she finally asked.
Thero wa no response. Then she
spoke again, "Who are you?"
"Can't you guess, Nan?" came n
feeble volco from the pantry
She hurriedly unbolted the pantry
door.
"In heaven's nnino, what are you
doing here?" sho demanded, dropping
the revolver to tho floor.
Dick nanson, emerging from the
pantry, looked at once shame-faced
and self-assertive.
"Wait fan, until I explain. Mother
thought of you over here all albno In
this terrible storm and sho couldn't
stand it. I Just came home last night.
I thought you might bo in need of
wood, so I came over early. How
neat everything is here," ho went on,
his voice gatherlug firmness In spite
of his agitation, which made him
tremble from head to foot.
"Whero have you been nil those
years, Dick?" Nan asked.
"All over tho world, Nan. I enlist
ed in .the navy when. I loft home."
Dick approached Nnu and put his arm
around her.
"Haven't you been afraid here all
alone?" ho asked.
"Yes, I havo"; hut I didn't think you
cared."
"I did," ho answered, "l'ou'ro not
geMng to bo left hero alonoiany longer,
Nun."
Then tliedoor opened and Mrs. Han
son looked in. Dick's face showed
over Nan's shoulder.
"Bless you, my chldlren," said the
old lady, her faco'beamlng with friend
liness, and It was suddenly borne in
upon the consciousness of Nun Gray
that love and kindness were not such
strangers at ltockyi Court as she had
thought.
