NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Rantoul, on learning of Jose phine’s sudden engagement, found urgent business calling him abroad. He had vast foreign interests, so she gathered from his letters, but he bore no ill-will; he was still her friend and never failed to ask af ter John. Post cards came to her from distant places, Cairo,- Bom bay, Singapore, Manila. Apparently he was going around the world. A pathetic word or two, a mere al lusion, sometimes a picture of some lone pilgrim, gave her the feeling of a deeper message. Then, after some months, there was the long silence that might mean his return via the Pacific. Josephine break engagements, to hurry from ard the olfice of the sectlon en . her suddenly. He felt restless and ill at ease when away from the tun nel. “How long will this tunnel job keep going?” Van Horn asked one evening.

John had had a long talk with Van Horn. “I’m beating the tunnel, Gil,” John said simply. He looked so capable, so well. John was confident, happy. He was entirely too happy to be safe, especially with a woman like Josephine, who demanded suffer ing from others. But Van Horn looked bad, out of condition, yellow. Pug Malone would have shuddered at the sight of him. The fact that Gerrit Rantoul had taken passage on the same steamer, again on urgent business, may have had something to do with the depression of Van Horn. Still, when John and Rantoul stood together on the deck—John was seeing them off— Van Horn compared them and smiled.

A preview of the film showed it to have been splendidly staged and executed. The work was done by Roger W. Fenimore. This is the tour which was offer- the simplification and standardiza tion of meat cookery. There need be n« problem and there need be no guesswork. Cook According to the Cut “The whole problem in cooking meat may be expressed in one short sentence—cook according to the cut,” says Inez S. Willson, director of home economics of the National Live Stock and Meat Board. All kinds and cuts of nieat may be cooked by either of two general methods, according to Miss Willson; the tender cuts by dry heat, >ho less-cender cuts by moist heat. Recipes are only variations of these few simple methods; some suggest different flavors, different food combinations, but essentially vhey are examples of one or the other of the general methods. Cooking by Dry Heat Broiling, panbroiling, and roast ing are the methods of cooking by dry heat. The cuts which may be cooked by dry heat are the tender cuts, those which contain a smaller amount of connective tissue. Since connective tissue is developed - by exercise, generally speaking those cuts which lie along the backbone are most tender and the cuts be come less tender as they approach the fore and hind shanks and the flank - ^ Cooking by Moist Heat Those cuts which are less tend:r are most successfully cooked by moist heat because moist heat has the effect of softening connective tissue. Therefore the less-tender cuts, sines they contain more con nective tissue, are made more tend er by cooking by moist heat. Brais ing (browning meat in a little hot fat, then cooking slowly in a small amount of Mquid); stewing (cook ing small pieces of meat at a sim mering temperature); or cooking in a large amount of water are ways of cooking by moist heat. However, meat even though cooked in water should never be boiled, it should be cooked at a simmering temperature in order to have most tender product. Miss Willson says that the temperature of the water should smile, not laugh—just a lit tle movement under the surface, :io . violent bubbling.
