THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM, SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1923

Every boy Just has to make a fishing trip some time. And it is so much more fun if you can build a fire and cook your own fish right on tho shore of the stream where you caught them. The next time two of you go fishing, take along provisions and fix a regular fish dinner right out in the open. For small fish, which yours will probably be, tho best thing to do

is to broil them. Clean the fish well, and put them on a green stick, passing it through their gills.

Put a slice of bacon or salt pork

between each two fish. Have a hot bed of coals all readv and hold the fish over this until they are done, turning them often. In the meantime, while you were turning the fish you could be cooking baked potatoes to serve with the fish. Wash potatoes of even size, put them In tho oven under the fire, cover with ashes, and put coals on top. The "oven" may be a holo in the ground with a tin cover. New potatoes will cook in half an hour; old ones in about forty minutes. Corn cakes are fine with a fish dinner. If you servo them you'll understand how tho old saying

started about "went like hot cakes". This is how you make them. You will need lk plat of corn-meal, '4 pint of flour, 1 round

ed teaspoonful of baking powder, 1 rounded teaspoonful of sugar, and Vi teaspoonful of salt These can be measured out before you go on Ihe trip and taken along mixed together, if you are intending to cook just this one nieal on the hike. When all the things to go in your corn cakes aro well mixed together, add cold water. Pour this in very slowly and stir gently. Keep on adding tho water until you have a thick batter, Just right to drop into the frying pan in spoonfuls. Have the frying pan hot and well greased. Then put the batter in in spoonfuls. The cakes will run

together as they cook, but you can cut them apart. When they are well browned on one side, turn them over and brown on the other side. Of course you will want campers

coffee to go with your fish dinner,

and of course you brought along a coffee pot to cook It in. In one pint of cold water put 3 heaping

tabelspoonfuls of ground coffee. As soon as the water bubbles, and

before it really boils, take the coffee pot off and let it stand for ten minutes where it i3 kept hot. Pour a tablespoonful of cold water down the spout to settle. Now while you were making the

corn cakos ana your partner was turning the fish over tho fire and

m. r nn inn Ti n'f -

everything was smelling so good you thought you just couldn't wait another minute before eating, the potatoes were baking nicely and the coffee was keeping hot beside the fire. All at once everything is ready and everything is hot, and you can pitch right into the business of eating. Who wants to carry home his fish to cook them?

Seven morn articles will appear in tho "Camp Cookery" series. They will take up all kinds of outdoor cooking, from a meul for the g woods camper to a backyard lunch.

Twins Are Rescued By Brave "Queen" The southern bound train pulled into a largo station. It was at the sea shore, where a lot of people from tho northern states spent

their summers. Mr. and Mrs. Whito had chosen this place for the summer. Mr. White had engaged a cottage in which they were to live. Mr. and Mrs. White had twin daughters, Isabella and Elizabeth ; they wore called Bella and Dotty, for short. They were nine years old, and had never been to the sea shore before. Along with them, in the baggage car, they had brought their big

collie dog, Queen, who had belonged to Betty and Bella ever since she was a pup. Now, she jumped up and down, for she was

so glad to be out in the open soon.

A cariage took them all to their hew home. In a week all was settled, and the girls commenced their good times. Each knew how to swim, a little. They had taken a few lessons. One morning they donned their bathing suits and swam a short way out in the water. After they reached it, they sat down and began playing jack stones with small stones. They did not see the tide

coming in. On and on they played when, suddenly they noticed it.

but it was too late, for they could not swim well enough, to swim in the deep water. They stood up on the highest part of the rock and called and called for help. But there was no one on the shore. Then they each gave up a silent prayer to our Father above us.

Soon they heard something com

ing. It proved to be Queen. The dog could swim well. Bella went first and clung to Queen's nock, and kicked hard, so a3 to help. Soon she was ashore. Then Queen went back to the rock alter Betty.

Betty did the same as Bella had done. Queen was very tired and was losing her strength. She was almost on land when she went under, taking Betty with her. But Betty saved them; she caught hold of Bella's dress just as they went under and pulled her up. Bella had still held on to Queen, so, of course, Queen came up, too. in one hour, Betty and Bella were jn bed, with warm blankets.

around them, and Queen lay in front of the fire, getting-dry. And ever after that Queen was praised for her good work. Mary Mitchell, grade 7, Jefferson Township school, New Paris, O.

SECRET CODES HOW TO MAKE THEM

"Nffu nf jo gspou pg pvs ipvtf bu gjwf." Jimmy studied the slip of paper in his hand. The letters were priuted very plainly with black ink and looked mysterious. "What on earth," said Isabel, looking over his shoulder, "is that thing?" "It's a code," said Jimmy. "A code? Why it's just a group of letters without any sense to them."

used this code wrote to another. Do you know what tho message was? If you want a more elaborate code, make a numbered letter sentence to start your code on. Take a sentence with all the letters of the alphabet in it. A short ono is: "The quiok brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Now start In and number each letter of the alphabet as it appears for the first time. ti

(This iiuaaayc is made up of a combination of the two codes explained lu the following article;

"All the same," said Jimmy, "It's a message and I can read it just as plain as anything. Bob Lorentz and I write to each other in this code all tho time. It's as easy to read as falling off a log." Isabel looked more interested. She studied the letters with a little frown. "I give it up," she said finally. "I can't make any sense out of it. Come on, Jimmy, tell me

how to read it. Jimmy picked up the slip of paper. "So long," he grinned. "I'm off to do what it says in the message." Now what the message really said was: "Meet mo in front of outhouse at five." When Bob wrote the message ho used the letter of the alphabet to the right of the one

he meant. Now you see for yourself how easy it is. The letters of the alphabet can bo twisted about in all sorts of ways to make codes. Once two people or a group of boys in a club agree upon a key, the rest is easy.

There is the numbering of the letters of tho alphabet, for instance. Of course if you went right straight through and numbered them, your message would bu easily read. You might write out (ho letters and number them through in an every-other-ono system. Start with B and number it 1, then I) is 2, F

is 5. and so on, through to Z, which is thirteen. Then go back and number A 14, C, 15, R, 16, through to X, which is 26. This is a very simple number code. "1-9-21-25-7-2.1 25-21-21-2-23 23-11-10-24 9-2-14-26" is what one boy who

this sentence T is 1, II is 2, R is 3, and so on. The numbers will go straight through until you come to the word "fox." Tho letter "O" in "fdx" is a repetition. It has already been used in "brown," where it was given tho number 11. There foro number tho "O" in "fox" 11 al.so-and then number "X" 15., since "F" was 14. "J" will bo 16. The next letter, however, is "U" which was already given a number, 5. Therefore wo pass it on to "M" i. 17, "P", 18. Do you get the idea? Onco a letter has been given a number, skip it when you come across it again. This makes the last letter of tho sentence, "U number 26. Now that this system is understood, all you have to do is to writeout your sentence, number the letters, and make up any message, such as: "12-22 6-1 22-14-1-3-10 l'.t-7-2-11-11-21", meaning, "Wait" Finish it yourself.

Third Chapter

1 011 will remember I have said the dog was a good fighter so the brave dog stuck to his name and fought while Bed and Archie shot all of the pack that got far enough away to make it. safe for the boy 1 to shoot at without getting the dog with a shot. As soon as a wolf was shot tho rest would pile on and eat it, then the boyB would shoot another one

and he was devoured. Also Brave was killing them, ns ho was as big as any wolf In the pack. Soon tho boys started and in about nino hours they reached their destination. Uncle Joe was standing in the door and when he saw them he gave a whoop and ran out to meet them. They went in to the cabin and sat down to a meal to which they had never eaten anything like it in their trips before. After supper, Dick Lewis, Joe'.i brother which was starving there till he went back to the prairies, told them a story of how he got a young panther cub when he was a boy. This is in his words: "Wal. I was goin' out huntin' when I seen a hole in a hill so say's I, I'm goin' tip thar and se what's in thet hole. When 1 got up thar I heard a screechen noise down in thar an' so I got a good saplin an tied my huntin' knife on it un started down thet long passaway. Tha nearer I come tha lowder tha noise was.
