_ to good bread making. She might 
try making “beer yeast,” which takes 
three medium sized potatoes and the 
water in which they were cooked (it 
should be about one quart). Never add 
salt to potatoes as this hurts the life of 
your yeast. 
“Add to this 3 tablespoons sugar, let 
soak for about 20 minutes, then add 
1 cake of yeast foam in Y glass of warm 
water; cover and set in a warm place to 
rise. When light, mix bread in a hard 
loaf, not forgetting to add ar generous 
handful of salt and a little shortening. 
“If more liquid is desired, add a little 
warm water (I usually make from six to 
eight loaves of bread). Set in a warm 
place to double size, punch down with a 
knife, let rise again and mix into loaves. 
When light bake 1 hour. 
“Try and mix all the flour that is 
needed when bread is first mixed in loaf, 
as adding flour after is inclined to harden 
bread. I always grease my hands and 
form dough into loaves when ready for 
tins. 
“When your hard loaf is first formed, 
mix at least from 3 to 10 minutes, for 
one of the secrets of good bread making 
is in the mixing. Try not to mix it so 
very much after first mixing. Mrs. C. I. 
P. may hear from other good bread 
makers, but I can say that this is a true 
and tried recipe, as my mother made it 
before me and it has gone on down 
through the family and there are only 
11 of us children! I also find some of my 
neighbors making bread the same way. 
If Mrs. P., tries my way I wish her all 
kinds of success. Practice makes perfect 
—bread!— A. A. Reader. 
“P.S. Mrs. P. may save a litte of this 
yeast as starter for next bread making in 
place of yeast cake if so desired, by keep¬ 
ing in a cool place. I save about Yi piM. 
When a white scum forms on top of 
starter, throw it away and make new 
yeast.” 
The Changing Woods 
(Continued from 'page 597 ) 
She compressed her lips and shook her 
head. 
“Take the ankle, then, and turn it 
slowly to the right, while I hold at the 
knee. Don’t be afraid; it won’t hurt 
much.” 
It was torture, but the pain belonged 
to him and he would not let her know. 
“Pull—gently,” he commanded, his 
face white with agony. “There; that’s 
better, I think.” He fell back against the 
duffel bag and closed his eyes. 
“A little more whisky,” he said 
weakly. She brought it to him and put 
the flask to his lips. Presently he opened 
his eyes and smiled at her; hers were filled

“That’s all right, kid,” he reassured 
her. “I think we’ve done a pretty neat 
job. Now if you’ll take the knife and 
strip that birch over there. I’ll show you 
what to do next.” 
They fashioned some bark splints, one 
long one, to reach from foot to hip. This 
they drew carefully under, the helpless 
leg, so that it lay straight in the hollow 
of the bark. Then she tore bandages 
from a blanket. 
“We’ll keep it soaked with water for a 
while,” he said. But the pain had come 
again keenly with the movement of the 
leg, and he could hardly master it. 
“Get me the medicine-kit, will you? 
he asked. He fumbled in the bag and 
drew out a little leather case. “Hypo¬ 
dermic,” he explained. “I’ve carried it 
in the woods for the last five or six years 
and never needed it till now. I ve got 
to dope this pain for a little while, I’m 
afraid.” 
Under his instructions she took a little 
pellet from one of the tiny vials and 
dissolved it in a spoonful of water 
warmed over the embers of the fire. He 
showed her how to fill the syringe. 
“Now go ahead and jab,” he com¬ 
manded. “I won’t feel it at all.^ Ill 
probably get drowsy pretty soon,” he 
added, with a nod of thanks. “Don’t 
let that worry you. I need some sleep, 
anyhow.” 
T HE tree shadows lay in long parallel 
rows when Lloyd opened his eyes 
stupidly and looked up into the girl s 
face. She was sitting at his side, and he 
felt a cool hand on his forehead. 
“Lie still,” she bade him. “I’ve been 
keeping the bandages wet.” 
“How long have I slept?” 
“Three or four hours. Does it pain 
now? , 
“I hardly notice it. I'm a lot of 
bother to you, I’m afraid. It must have 
been stupid, sitting there.” 
She shook her head. “I’ve ^been 
watching the woods, and the lake, she 
answered. 
“And don’t the woods look better than 
they did yesterday?” 
The girl nodded and smiled. I think 
it’s because I’ve had a lesson in being 
brave,” she said. “I’m suffering from 
self-contempt now.” 
He watched her for a minute or so, 
while she gazed out across the water, 
“Let’s have supper,” he suggested. 
“And please smile.” 
She turned and laughed, half ashamed, 
and began to gather sticks for the fire. 
“I forgot,” he said, presently. “ You’d 
best set the tent up first. Right here’ll 
do” — and he indicated a spot beside 
where he lay. It was a simple little 
affair—she marveled at the compactness 
of it. Tents in the camp where she came 
from were like great rooms, with board 
floors. Supper was almost gay, and Lloyd 
nearly managed to forget the dull ache 
in his leg. She kept the fire going as the 
evening closed in, dragging a good-sized 
log over to it, and feeding it into the 
flames as fast as they consumed it. 
“That’s a lazy man’s fire, but it’ll do,” 
he commented. 
As the cool of the Canadian night came 
on, he bade her put on his sweater, and 
let her draw a blanket about his shoulders. 
“What’s your name?” he asked, 
suddenly. “Mine’s Bill.” 
“Margaret.” 
He seemed to consider this for a while, 
smoking in silence. Then: “Margaret, I 
suppose you understand there’s no 
getting out of here tonight?’
