The man had brought them a pitcher of cool water, and the girls ate and drank heartily. "Aunt Hetty would be surprised if she knew where we were eating these lovely doughnuts," said Anne, holding up the delicately browned twisted cruller.
Nevertheless, they bravely went to work. The little tent intended for such things had blown down, so the lassie had to stand out in the rain to prepare the dough. The first doughnuts were patted out, until someone found an empty grape- juice bottle and used that for a rolling-pin. As they had no cutter they used a knife, and twisted them, making them in shape like a cruller.
Fleda pulled off her hood and sitting down watched in unusual silence the old lady's operations. "And how are they all at your house to-day?" aunt Miriam asked as she was carefully draining her cruller out of the kettle. Fleda answered that they were as well as usual, but a slight hesitation and the tell-tale tone of her voice made the old lady look at her more narrowly.
"Well, I'll lay the things on fur the noon meal, Pa, you tend t' business." "But you ain't slept, Markie. Up all night an' no sleep nex' day! 'T won't do, Markie, now will it?"

She came near and kissed that gentle brow and looking in her eyes asked her what the matter was? "I don't know, " said Fleda, eyes and voice wavering alike, "I am foolish, I believe, " Aunt Miriam tenderly put aside the hair from her forehead and kissed it again, but the cruller was burning and she went back to the kettle.
Well, we are all homeless over here and every American soldier will take back with him a new affection and a new respect for the Salvation Army. Many will carry with them the memories of a cheering word and a friendly cruller received in one of the huts nearest of all to the trenches.
We overhauled the civil courts and made them over new in the charter of the Greater New York. We lighted dark halls; closed the "cruller" bakeries in tenement-house cellars that had caused the loss of no end of lives, for the crullers were boiled in fat in the early morning hours while the tenants slept, and when the fat was spilled in the fire their peril was awful.
