Idle Island By , ETHEL HUESTON Copyright 1927 by The Bobbs-Merrill Co. WNU Service. , i STORY FROM THE START On the verge of nervous collapse. due to overwork. Gay Delane. successful New York arris’ seeks rest at idle Island She «rents a cottage, the “Lone Hne," from an island character, the Captain." and. his sister. Alice Andover, ‘administrator.” Gay finds the cottage is tenanted by an elderly lady. “A untalmiry.” who consents to mjive to another abode, the “Apple Tree,,’’ On an exploration of island Gay, : standing on the seashore, is horrified by the appearance of the drifting body of a drowned man. which she nerX-cs herself • © bring to the shore. A bullet wound in the temple shows the man to have been murdered Gay makes her way to the “Captain” with the story Returning with him to the shore, they find no body there, and Gay's story of the Incident is set down to an attack qf “nerves.” Gay. unable to convince her neighbors of the truth, draws a picture of the s face of the dead man. Intending to send it to the authorities She meets a stranger. to whom she tells the itory and shows the picture. He asks her to let aim take it, but Gay refuses Next day Gay finds the picture has been taken from the cottage “Rand” Wallace, wanderer, and considered something of a “black sheep” by the islanders, sur- - prises Gay at household task*. Gay’s acquaintance with Rand ripens into affection Rand leaves the Island on business. Gay determines tty stay for the winter CHAPTER Vl—Continued “Didn’t he ever come back?” “He diet-, dearie. Died away. But I hrd Buddy then. But Buddy went, trio. Could 1 Jffive a little more sugar, dearie?” That was all. They talked of other things. Auntalmiry’s gentle interest was just as ft had always been, her -easy amiability, but after that flush of feverish hope she seemed pale and worn with her age. The next day Rand came, and they two. Gay and Rand, drifted into a rou tine of joyous companionship and love. Frankly and trustfully they professed full sympathy and understanding in each other’s whims. Gay joyed to be in love, but brooked no thought of marriage, demanding freedom. she said, freedom for work. Rand. too. admitted satisfaction In the arrangement, craving freedom from the very thing that she desired, freedom for freedom’s sake, he called it. If sometimes Gay wondered if tove built on foundation so slight could long endure, she hushed her doubts. She was very happy, and she dreamed •of long years of this same happiness for both, freedom for each for the things that each desired. She would come to him. he would come to her. they would summer together In this •cool and lovely place. September drew swiftly, goldenly toward its close. September is the death of summer in the northland The hotels on the island were already closed, for the season, the summer -shops locked ‘ into their storm win (lows. the shore cottages deserted. ■Still Gay lingered. Between herself and Rand had been no suggestion of parting, no hint that the season was ■over, the time of separation at hand The island was lovely in September, lovely and wistful aq4 wilting. Gay would not let herself think of leaving. She sat alone in het window-seat one afternoon and watched the sunset as it faded swiftly and darkness crept over the .and. An hour passed, two hours. The dusk had deepened to night. And then, with one of het impulsive changes, she sprang to her feet, wanting brightness, wanting light. With her hand outstretched , to press the button, she stopped, suddenly motionless, holding her breath. Pressed hard against her window on the eastern side, the sid n of the forest, she saw ft again, that face of yellow parchment with the seamed scar beneath the slanting eyes. As she looked it faded away into the darkness from which it had come. With tts disappearance came snd den activity, flaming anger. She ran to the window and flung ’ it wide. “Hello,” she called. “Hello there!” There was no answer to her call, but. staring Intently, she saw among the shadows of the wood one shadow that moved silently farther into the recesses of the forest, and merged at last into black. She closed the window thoughtfully, locked it and lowered the blinds. Gay had a pistol, a handsome monogrammed one, which it was her pleasant conceit to keep loa»led. well con ditioned. ready for emergency use in the drawer of her desk near at hand. She had bought it during that memorable year abroad on one of her venturesome visits to London pawn shops, and with a sort of boyish van ity had carried.it with her ever since. But It is indicative of the absolute confidence of her nature that in an emergency she always entirely forgot the weapon reverting to the more feminine defense of screaming, call Ing or locking doors. When she saw the yellow face at her window she did not so much as think of the boasted pistol, which she affectionately duhhed the Raby, until she was safe behind the lowered blinds Then she opened the drawer and looked at it. “Y<-> -<■ a useless old thing,” she

said Impatiently. “Why don’t you go off when there is some occasion for you. and scare the Peeping Toms?” Expecting Rand, who came at his own caprice and kept her alert with expectation, she was not startled when, an hour later, there was a light knock at her door. It was past nine o’clock, but as his hours always suited his convenience, she only smiled" tolerantly at his tardiness as she opened the door. But when she saw in the shadow, not Rand, but Ron aid Ingram, she was startled Into a little frightened cry. for which she quickly apologized with friendly laughter. • . “Oh. you startled me. I—l was expecting some one else. Do come tn. I am glad to see you again.” “What luck to find you.” Ronald Ingram said with a warmth there was no mistaking. “1 had no idea yo’i would still be here. You are rather outstaying the summer, are you not?" “Well—yes—a little, perhaps. Bur I was—quite ill. and I need—oh. a great deal of rest.” Her face flushed with her feverish explanations, and Ronald Ingram studied her keenly. “So many of the summer people have gone." he said slowly “I should think you would be afraid tcrstay on alone. Especially after youi\ export ences tfere. Was ft in this rdom Von saw rhe light—that night after you found the body tn the cove?” “Yes In that window, right tr>e-e. “And rhe hand? Are you sure of that hand? Stretched out—” “Os course I am sure. And wfien I came up in the morning-, the sketch was gone. It was here, in this drawer” She lightly pulled out the drawer of the desk Her pistol, bus! "I —— / / - t Wl ‘Didn't He Ever Come Back?” nesstike. important, lay tn full sight “It was here. And the next morning it was gone. Doors locked, windows barred, just as I left them. But the sketch was gone. So I knew the poor dear wished to be left In peace and undisturbed.” “By George, you make my hair stand on end. And after all that, you stay on here, alone, unprotected—” “Oh. he was a gentle spirit. He would not harm me.” He smiled and dropped the subject. He said tie had come to Bortland on business, and had come to the island with only a faint hope that he might find her, or. failing to fipd her. to get her address in the city. He said he could not bear to drop the little ac quaintanceship. which to him had proved so sweetly charming. Then he went quickly away, waving back to her as she stood in the lighted doorway beneath the tall pine. Gay waited.about for a while hoping still that Rand would come, but finally she went upstairs and kicked off her slippers rather crossly. When, a little later, she heard his quick knock on the door below, and his blithe whistle above it. she caught up bet slippers in her hand and ran downstairs, laughing, to let him in “Oh. good I” she cried. “A minute later and I’d have been in bed.” “I’d have been earlier, but—l was detained. You are all right, are you? Nothing has happened—yo* haven’t seen anything unusual?” Gay sensed an undertone" of anxiety beneath the lightness of his voice. “Why. of course I’m a>l right Ot course nothing has happened. Why not? Or why?” “Well. I saw a chap banging about In the woods near your windows sort of spying, sneaking around. I started up to see who it was. and he ran. Os course 1 chased him. and the two of us have hot-footed it all over the island. He was playing with me. Got me down to the city landing and dropped me like a hot cake. Yon haven’t —” “Oh. that must have been the (’hi naman “The Chinaman!” Rand’s amazement was unbounded. “The Chinaman ! What under heaven —“ “Oh. I must -have told you about the Chinaman." she said evasively. “You know darned well you never nave. What about him?” “Well, come and sit down. It’s a long story— Yon -are quite sure I haven’t told you?” Rand laughed. “Quite sure, you little liar, and so are you." “Well, you weren’t here when I came In. I was so tired, and sick. I was a perfect wreck. Auntalmiry was here, and while she packed up l lay dowii on the couch here, and slept Slept! It was the sleep ot death for Weariness.—She wakened me for dinner, and I ate. and went to sleep again. So she went away and left me sleeping.—Weil, it was evening. And I felt— You know how one feels things in one’s sleep?—l felt eyes looking at me. I could hardly squeeze a look out beneath my lids, for the weariness. But I did. And in the dusk, faint and yellow. I saw the face of a Chinaman, thin pinched features, slanting eyes and a small seared scar beneath one eye. As I looked, the face just melted backward Into the darkness, so I knew It was a dream, and went to sleep again." Rand lighted a cigarette hastily but said nothing, and Gay went <>n.

“Well, you know how sometlines • sit, just dreaming, as the sun sets until it is dark.—l did tonight. And I jumped up suddenly to light the lights, although it was not entirely dark, and I saw it at my window, rhat window —same face, the very same. So it could not have been a dream." “When was that?” “Oh. hours ago! Just before the tinal darkness.” “But it was late when 1 found him—about an hour ago.—ln the meantime, what? Any noises? Were you afraid—” “No. Mr. Ingram was here." Rand flecked the ashes from his cigarette thoughtfully. “Ah. Mr. Ingram.—Mr. Ingram.—l suppose you told me all about him. too. May one inquire, who is Mr. Ingram?*’ “He ii the man who— It was he who — It was Mr. Ingram who—” Gay closed her lips stubbornly. She had often wished to tell him of the affair in rhe cove, but resentment had always forbidden the confidence. He should have asked her. She glanced at him furtively. His chin was set. and his eyes were anxious. Gay relented. “Well. Rand. I suppose the family females told you—what happened m the cove?” Rand smiled faintly, his fingers caressed her arm Gay hardened again “1 know they thought I was out ot my head, but you surely do not believe any such nonsense." “They thought you saw driftwood a log or a barrel.” “Hew about my handkerchief? Did they think 1 put it on a piece of driftwood?” “They thought— Now. remember. Gay. you did not mention the handkerchief until they reported there was no body. They thought—well, they though: you made it up to sort of Carry out your story, make it hold watery “What did you think?” “1 thought.” he said tenderly, “that some time, in a moment of great confidence, my Gay would tell me about herself, and then I should know all.” Gay laughed, bent suddenly and kissed his hand. “You work me. outrageously.” she said.“And Mr. Ingram—” he prompted softly. “Well. then. —No. the cove comes I first.—The reason 1 like Mr. Ingram is because if he is Interested in anything. he talks about it. ‘ If he wants to know anything, he asks. He doesn’t think other people are crazy just because they happened to see something he didn’t happen to see himself.—Like the state of Maine.” she said vindictively. “And the cove—” “Well. then. I slid down the rocks into the cove.” * “Why. Gay. why? With a whole ■ island full ot accessible shore, why slide down the worst cliff in the bay?” “Because I thought I couldn’t." she • answered promptly. “Because every body said one couldn’t get down. —So I did.” Rand rolled his eyes heavenward. “A woman.” he said devoutly “is heaven’s greatest miracle.—She did. because she couldn’t.—Go on.—Like your Mr. Ingram. I understand perfectly.” “Well. 1 tried to get into the clubhouse. and I couldn’t. And into the boathouse, and I couldn’t.” “You should have burned them to the ground.—ls you couldn’t get tn. you should have.” Gay laughed. “Don’t be silly.— Well, it was lovely in the cove, and 1 stood there and saw — It—coming In.— Rand, it was a man. He came in and with my two hands I pulled him up on the sand. There was a rope abdtv one ankle, a stout rope, with on»- end dangling loose. He had been shot in the temple—here." She touched her brow with a slender finger. “The blood was washed away, but the hair was clotted about it. I laid his hand upon his breast, and put my handkerchief over his face. I called for i help, but of course nobody heard me. So I went for the Captain. Yon know what happened ” Rand was impressed. She could see that “It sounds very—reasonable.” “Oh. Rand,! When 1 went back the sand was wet where the body had lain. I showed it to the Captain and he said it had splashed there it couldn’t have splashed. It hadn’t splashed anywhere else." “And Mr. Ingram—” Gay smiled at his persistence. “Weil. I sent the captain away 1 could see every line of the poor tired, anxious face, and the long tine hand, and the drenched hair. I took my • drawing pad. and drew IL line for line. I was going to send it to the police department, so they could try to trace him. —Mr. Ingram was looking for away down to the shore, and | I went up and took nim back through the woods the other way. I showed him the sketch. 4nd he was greatly interested. He wanted IL He is a newspaper man." “And now he eomes again—” “Oh. he came before—” “Oh. I see.” Rand’s voice was qulizical. “Oh. no. you don’t see. Well. 1 met him on the rocks beyond the Little club one day—he is very nice, so gentle, gentlemanly, sympathetic—so I brought him home, and we had a long talk Re was thinking of buying up part ot the island for exploitation. I to build and sell, yon know, things like that. He Is very nice.” Rand’s face was very stern. “Why didn’t yon tell me al! this before?” he demanded curtly. “Because if you want to be so darned close about everything, I will he darned close myself.” she said smartly. “Rand, he felt terrible shout ; the sketch.—Oh. I didn't tell you I about that.” “What? What about it? What did the police—” “Now. Rand, now is your chaqce to decide once and for all that I was entirely out of my head—am still, perhaps— But Auntalmiry can swear to I part of it.

NEW JERSEY FARM KITCHEN WELL ARRANGED I ’Si I I ■p fl 4 lea Wagon Made by New Jersey Housewife From the Backs of Two Folding Chairs That Were No Longer Fit for Service. (Prepared by the Bureau ot Home E.-on-mics. United States Department of Agriculture.) Unusually well arranged is this farm kitchen in Essex county. New Jersey. The modern sink with its double drain boards is placed sufficiently high for a medium tall woman. It has splendid light from the double window above and also from the window in the dining alcove, which is near enough to make meal getting a very simple problem, yet just enough removed from the activities of the kitchen to be pleasant. The useful tea wagon was made by the homemaker and her husband out of the backs of two folding chairs that were no longer tit for service. The stool on which one can sit while washing dishes is also homemade. The wooden rack saves the bottom of the sink from marks made by the dishpan. other features that make this kitchen attractive to work in are the cretonne curtains over the sink, and the appliqaed drapes in the alcove. The improvements in this kitchen were the result of advice given by the county home demonstration agent. The pnotograph was taken by the United States Department of Agriculture.

WHAT CHILDREN NEED FOR HEALTH Many Essentials for Good Nutrition Must Be Present. (Prepared by the Bureau ot Home Economics. United States Department of Agriculture.) Some of the nutritional ami environmental needs ofschildren were discussed in a talk recently given by Miriam Birdseye, extension specialist in nutrition, before the West Virginia State Nurses’ association. Miss Birdseye said, "tn effect: “Adequate food must be provided for children. This means that essential foods must be raised on the farm or available at all seasons of the year in nearby markets. Chief of these are milk and other good-quality proteins, butterfat, whole-grain products, vegetables and fruits, and pure water. Foods must be selected to meet the needs of the body at different ages and to come within the reach of the family purse. They must be prepared and seasoned to meet the needs of different age groups, combined into appetizing meals and served at regular hours. Food habits must be wisely trained. “Other essentials for good nutrition must be present. These are sunshine. Sleep, rest, fresh air. happy work and play, freedom from overwork, normal emotional life, wise parental guidance, protection from illness. A glance at this list shows that agriculture, medicine. sanitation, nutrition, home economics, and psychology all have their contribution to make. Specialized service is needed from a number of agencies, and on certain points several organizations can unite their efforts.’ Use Meat Thermometer | for Rib Roasts of Beef If the homemaker would use a meat theromometer when roasting beef she would get the same results each time she cooks. according to the bureau of home economics. United States Department of Agriculture. The thermometer is placed in the center of the thickest part of the roast, and when it records certain temperatures, the meat has cooked to the stage of rare, medium, or well done. When the family preference is for rare roast beef, the meat should be taken out of; the oven when the thermometer reads between 13ft and 150 degrees Fahrenheit. A medium roast is cooked to between 150 and 170‘ degrees Fahrenheit, and the meat is well done at about 180 degrees Fahrenheit. The element of guesswork is thus removed when a thermometer is used. Meat thermometers are made by several different manufacturers. They are not expensive. Specialists in meat cookery in the bureau of home economics have found that by their use in the laboratory they can cook hundreds of roasts and always have the results comparable. They recommend, therefore, that homemakers who wish to cook by exact methods should use the meat thermometer. Care of Paint Brushes Paint should never be allowed to dry on a brush, says the United States Department of Agriculture in Farmers’ Bulletin 1452 on “Painting on the Fagan.” Nor is it advisable to keep paint brushes in water. When painting stops for more than an hour, the brushes should be kept in raw linseed oil. When painting is again resumed, as much oil as possible should be scraped or wiped from the brushes, after which the remainder Should be thoroughly mixed with the paint by repeatedly filling the brush and scraping it against the inner edge of the paint pot.

Chicken Stuffed With Potatoes and Raisins A large fowl of too uncertain an age to be safely naked may be appetizingly prepared in the following way. says the bureau of home economies: Plump fowl, weigh- 2 tablespoons Ing 4 to 6 pounds chopped onion 4 or 5 medium-sized 2 tablespoons potatoes parsley 1 cup raisins, with- Flour out seeds Butter 3 cups canned toma- Salt and pepper toes Simmer a plump fowl weighing four to six : pounds in a small quantity of salted water until tender. Remove it from the broth and set the fowl aside for stuffing. To the chicken broth add three cupfuls of canned tomato and two tabiespoonfuls of finely chopped mild onion and let this sauce cook down. In the meantime prepare a stuffing for the chicken by cooking and mashing the potatoes and adding to them the raisins and enough milk to make the mixture like ordinary mashed potatoes. Stuff this while still hot into the- body cavity and neck of the fowl. Crowd in all the stuffing possible and do not mind if it protrudes somewhat. Four a little melted butter over the chicken and put it in the oven to brown. Thieken the tomato sauce to the consistency of a gravy and add two or three tablespoonfuls of finely chopped parsley and green pepper if desired. When the chicken and the surface of the potato stuffing have become delicately brown put the chicken on a huge hot platter. Pour part of the sauce around it and, serve at once. Cherry Pie Can be Made During Winter-Season Cherry pie can be made in winter time if canned cherries are used. The bureau of home economies gives the following suggestions for making it: Bake an undercrust until it is delicately browned. Be careful not to let this crust become too brown, however, or it will be overcooked when the pie is baked. Strain juice off of the canned cherries. If they are unsweetened mix the needed quantity of sugar with, about one-half tablespoonful of cornstarch for each pie. and cook this with the cherry juice until it is thickened. Add one tablespoonful of butter and a few grains- of salt, stir in the fruit, and put this tilling into the prebaked pie crust. Moisten the rim. lay the top crust in place, and press the edges carefully together so that the juice will not leak out. Prick the top crust to allow the steam to escape. Bake the pie for about 20 minutes in a hot oven (450 degrees Fahrenheit), or until the upper crust is brown. For cherry tarts bake pastry shells on the outside of muffin pans, and till with the fruit mixture. Serve at once, or to give an extra touch add a spoonful of whipped cream or cover with meringue made of a stiffly beaten white of egg. one tablespoonful of sugar, a few grains of salt, and a drop or two of vanilla. To brown the meringue, return the tart to a very slow oven for 15 2ft minutes? Cooking Artichokes Jerusalem artichokes may be boiled in their skins and peeled afterwards or peeled beforehand. Only a small quantity of water should be used. Small tubers will cook in 15 to 20 minutes. They may then be served with melted butter with a few drops ; of onion juice, in cream, in white ’ sauce, or in a savory tomato sauce; or they may be scalloped in a white sauce with grated cheese and crumbs on top. Pared and sliced Jerusalem j artichokes may also be cooked in milk ■ in a casserole or a double boiler, or < they may be simmered in meat broth.
