CHAPTER SEVENTEEN AS THE opening of Christmas packages progressed, a certain rustling and creaking of wicker arose from behind the tree, to be followed by a whimper. Lora's heart thudded, but now there was nothing she could do. The moment bad come. “What’s back there?” Mrs. Tyler asked sharply. -Something made a noise. Jemmy, pull it out at once.” Jenuny needed no direction. He had heard the small endearing sound too, and swept other parcels recklessly out of his way as he crawled beneath the tree. The basket tore the tissue paper laid about the tree as he pulled it out, but Jemmy did not care. For out of the basket had emerged two light-brown ears, a pair of bright, mischievous eyes, and a wet, black nose. Next a brown paw and a white paw appeared on the basket’s edge as the puppy investigated this strange new world. Jemmy stared aa if he could not believe what he saw. The puppy yapped in baby fashion and showed sharp little teeth and a pink tongue. Jemmy looked* at the three grownups in agony. Wade had risen to his feet, his shock and distress plain. His mother stared, completely at a loss for words. .... ... : — “Is it — is it for me?” Jemmy asked faintly. Lora dropped to her knees beside him and put an arm about his shoulders. “Os course it’s for you, darling. It’s your very own puppy —from all of us.” Mrs. Tyler made a choked sound, but Lora did not look at her, or at Wade. She pulled back the cloth covering and Jemmy lifted the fat little animal tenderly from the basket A miracle had happened in this house on Christmas morning. With a soft cry he buried his nose tn warm fur. The puppy, however, »M far from docile and he wriggled and nipped at Jemmy's ear until the boy laughed and held him away. Behind them the old woman found her voice, “Take that creature out of here at once! Wade, sou know that I can’t abide dogs. suppose thia is your foolish doing, Lora?” •' *——- Jenuny held the dog so tightly that it yelped and Lora turned to face Mrs. Tyler. She was still on her knees, but she raised herself straight aa her spine could hold her. "I had hoped you would want to be one of the givers,” she said. But if you-don't wish it, then Wade and I—

7 ■ She Can Be A Beautiful Grandmother, Tool She is beautiful now. But will she be beautiful at 60? That depends largely on her. Oh, the bloom of youth will fade, but the beauty that lasts comes from within. “There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness," a lady one* said. Million* say that there is no happiness like that which comes from worship. Will you be a soured ugly person at 60? Or will people say you’re beautiful? What is the answer? The Answer Is God.

“Lora, please,” Wade said. He looked almost ill. “Very well," said Lora, and she let scorn bite into her voice. “If neither of you wants to come in with me on this gift, then it shall be from me. From, me to Jemmy —a puppy for his very own.”' "It is I who makes the rules in this house.” Mrs. Tyler’s eyes were alive with anger. "Put that creature down instantly, Jemmy.” Wade went out of the room as if he were glad to escape and he did not return. The old woman and the little boy faced each other in the light of Christmas morning, but of the two of them the woman was older and still the stronger. “Put it down," she said levelly. With a little sob Jemmy gave up. He dropped the puppy down upon the tissue and ribbons beneath the tree and fled from the room, his arm tight across his mouth. Lora made no move to stop him. Al! this was so much worse than she had imagined. Somehow she had hoped that the spirit of gift-giving might soften this impossible old woman to being humanly kind. But that had not happened and Wade had not stayed to help his son. So now the battle was posed—as she had seen it must be all along—between herself and Mrs. Tyler. Lora scooped the puppy into her arms and got to her feet She rubbed her cheek against its hard little head where the white patchj showed, and stroked its fur. She walked boldly toward the door, carrying the puppy in her arms. Behind her Mrs. Tyler made a choking sound of rage. In the hallway she paused for an undecided moment Then she went into the library where Wade sat on the sofa before a cold fireplace, his elbows on his knees, his head in his hands. In spite of her anger a faint stab of pity went through her. He was still ill with his wounds and the experience he had been through. Nevertheless, she spoke to him cooly. “Jemmy is going to keep his puppy, Wade. HU need is more important than the whims of your mother.” He did not even look up at her. "1 thought you were gentle. I thought you would bring peace and happiness to this household—” “Perhaps you should stop thinking about you and think about Jemmy. What sort of father are you?” . —-—------ • — He looked up quickly, but she waited for no answer. She turned about and went quickly through the door. Up the stairs to her room She carried the puppy. Then she slipped out of her room before the PUPPY eould bounce after her.

Across tne hall Jemmy’s door stood closed*, but she turned the knob and flung it open. The room was empty and Jemmy’s coat and cap were gone from the clothes tree that'Stood near the head of his bed. < itnoKg Tyler had wasted no time at all. He had run away. Lora stood quietly in Jemmy’s small room, trying to think. Ho could have gone only a few moments before, so he was not far away. She had no concern that physical harm might come to him before he would be found. But the danger of spiritual harm was great, and she wanted to think carefully about what was best to do.' Someone should go up the woods path, Since it was quite possible that he had gone up the hill to his grandfather. She had better set Peter on that course at once. Then she herself would go over to the Lords’ and see if he had gone there. She went downstairs to the library, where Wade still sat with his head in his hands. “Your son has run away," she said. ‘1 think you'd best send Peter up to Mrs. Channing’s to see if he has gone there. X am going to the Lords’ to look for him." There was dismay in Wade's eyes now and he got up at once. As Lora passed the opening to the uphill path she tried to tell whether Jemmy had gone that way, but Ambrose’s feet had left marks both ways and Jemmy might well have stepped into his tracks. At Serena’s she rang the bell and Adam Hume came down the stairs. "Merry Christmas,” he said, and then noted her evpresnion. "Is anything wrong?’’ She went to the foot «t the stair*. "It’s Jemmy. He has disappeared. His grandmother tried to take his puppy away from him. He didn’t realize that I wouldn’t have let her take him. I'm afraid he has run away." , “To his grandfather’s?’* Adam asked. “I thought of that Peter has been sent to look. I’d hoped be might have come here. Do you know any place else?’’ "I know one possibility. It’s not very sensible, but I’ve heard him mention it when he’s played here with the young Lords — and he might try." - ■ ■ Lora would have questioned him, but he ran back up the stairs. I’ll get into my coat and take the cutter. He might have gone downhill. Suppose you go home and I'll drop in later, whether I find him or not" \ - f T« Be j

Homemakißg Tipi •r Mlea Bertha Landis Hemo Demonstration Agent If you like cured ham and os- - smoked pork cuts now la the time to enjoy them. Why! Because the quality is up and the prices are down. Pigs had • baby boom last year and it meana plenty of porg o* the market. When buying hams, remember that ail cured and smoked hams prepared under federal-meat inspection are required to be heated to at least 187 degrees F, Internal temperature, or be treated by approved methods of freezing or drying and curing that will make sure no live trichinae remain in the meat. Any cured, smoked ham marked with the round, purpie U.S. inspection stamp does not need to be cooked by the homemaker as a health and safety precaution but only for good eating. There are really only three types of hams, with respect to cooking: country cured, tenderized, and ready-to-eat- The country cured ham to one that has not been cooked during processing. A tenderized ham is one that has been partially cooked during processing and needs additional cooking in the home kitchens to give it a well-done texture and full ham flavor. The packer's label usually offers directions for thia, specifying cooking time for the size and treatment of the ham. Don’t be misled! Tenderized, tendered, and similar terms, found on the wrappers of some hams are advertising slogans and must never bo construed to mean that the ham is completely cooked. To determine whether the ham Is cooked or uncooked, look on the wrapper or skin. If the wrapper says, “Cook before eating," it means the ham must be thoroughly cooked before serving; if the bam is ready-to-eat or fully cooked, it means the ham is completely cooked and is ready for serving. Pointing out that pork prices are dowp now and expected to remain down for some tmto, R. B. Wilson. Purdue agricultural economist, suggests that it is a good time to fill a locker or home freezer with pork. Court News Marriage licenses Frederick C.
