Mlttens in garter-stitch are knit after q pa
per pattern. II You have an old mitten of the
size required, cut out the thumb carefully,
following the seam. Cut the mitten open on
the side next the thumb, and holding it
double cut open far enough over the finger so
that 1t will spread ont fat on the paper.
This will give you pattern with three
straight sides and a fourth having two points
or scollops. Get stitches On your needle to
correspond with the length of the thumb side
of the pattern; knit back and forth garter
stitch; widen at one end every time across
by making stitch until your work reaches
the tip of the point in your pattern; then be-
gin to narrow at the same end and continue
until you have the number of stitches that you
first put on. You will then have one side of
your mitten. Begin to widen as at first and
knit the second half just like the first; sew
the tips firmly together and the sides as far
as the thumb place; take the old thumb, cut
open and cut pattern and knit the shape of
the pattern; then sew together and sew in
its place, and sew the wrists together. EN-
brOider with worsted of contrasting color
on the back of the mitten a monogram or
straight lines, as preferred; crochet a cuff
same color as the mitten; crochet lining of
the cuff same color as the embroidery on the
back; run cord OF the worsted around the
wrist; make balls at the ends and tie on the
back of the wrist.-Corr. Country Gentleman.

A New Order.

The other day, after a strapping young
man had sold load of corn and pota-
toes on the market and had taken his
team to hotel-barn to "feed," it be-
came known to the men about the barn
that he was very DESTROYS of joining
some secret society in town. When
questioned he admitted that such was
the case, and the boys at once offered to
initiate him into new order, called "The
Cavaliers of Coveo." He was told that
it was twice as secret as Free Masonry,
much nicer than Odd Fellowship, and
the cost was only %. In case he had
the toOthache he could draw s. per
week from the relief fund, and he was
entitled to receive $40 for every head
ache, and 1926 for sore throat.
The young man thought he had struck
a big thing, and after eating a hearty
dinner he was taken into a storeroom
above the barn to be initiated. The
boys poured cold water down his back,
put flour on bis hair, swore him to kill
his mother, if commanded, and rushed
him around for an hour without single
complaint from his lips. When they
had finished he inquired:
snow I'm one of the Cavaliers of
Coveo, am I?''
You are," they answered.
"Nothing more to learn, is there?"
Nothing"
swell, then, I'm going to lick the
whole crowd" C ,ntinued the candidate,
and he went at it, and before he got
t rough he had his two dollars initiation
fee back, and three more to boot, and
had knocked every body down two or
three times apiece. He didn't seem
greatly disturbed in mind as he drove
out of the barn. On the contrary, his
hat was slanted over, he had fresh
five-cent cigar in his teeth, and he mild
ly said 20 one of the barn-boys:
"Say, boy, if you hear of any cav
alters asking for Coveo about my size,
tell 'em I'll be in on the full of the moon
to take the Royal Skyfugle degrees"

the warder, though bleeding, did not
relinq,ish his grip, Then Peace fell
back, and, working the foot that was
held, succeeded in drawing it from the
boot. The wsrder. was not able to pre-
vent it, and Peace fell as the train rolled
on, and only the boot was left in the
hands of the distracted warder.
The train ran full mile after the Civ
ing of the signal. Heads were out of
every window, and all saw the daring
burglar slip from the grasp of the war
der and fall headlong. As soon as the
train stopped men ran back along the
track. Peace was found lying uncon-
scious. His head was cut and bleeding
where he had fallen against the foot
board. Had he mads his bold leap
clear, undoubtedly he would have land
ed in the deep soft snow unframed.
Peace's final trial was held at Leeds.
Before he left Sheffield for that city he
was visited by q number of persons,
among others Robinson, the officer who
with such jeopardy captured him at
Blackheath. He was chatty and cheer
full. Alarge crowd was at the station
waiting to see him off. As the train
started man cried: "He's a plucky
fellow; give him three cheers" "Give
him a rope" retorted another, instant
ly, and that sentiment was applauded. At
Leeds the trial was short, and it was
no difficult matter to convict the pris-
oner. His execution followed close upon
the sentence. He died in the odor of
sanctity, forgiving all his enemies.
Some days before his execution he con-
fessed that he was the murderer of
Manchester policeman at Whalleyrange,
in 1876, for which crime man named
Habron was sentenced to death. The
sentence, however, was committed on
account of Habron's youth, and he is
now undergoing imprisonment for life.
Peace said he was surprised by the Off
GERS while attempting burglary, and
fired upon them in self-defense. He
was in court when Habron was sentenced
to death.
The Manchester newspapers find dis
crepancies between the statements of
Peace and the circumstances of the
Whalleyrange murder. 1t is believed
that Peace sought to prolong his life,
pending an investigation of his state
ment concerning the murder of the
policeman. But Peace persisted in his
statement to the last moment. The
Home Office has begun an inquiry into
the case of Habron.

him then, but afterward certain inform
alton came to the station, and it came
in this way:
After Peace scaled the wall of Dyson's
garden, at Bannercross, he made his way
to Sheffield, and from there, on the Mid
land Railway, 10 Normanton, and thence
across, part way on foot, to Hull, where
his wife was living. The police, who
two hours after the murder were on his
track, heard of him, through his wife
in Hull, and through his brother in Shelf
field, but they could not find him. He
was, however, in Hull for two months
after the murder. Then he removed to
Nottingham. He met there q woman
named Thompson, whom he made his
mistress. With her he lived, calling
himself by her name. He left Noting
ham in a hurry, after large lace rob-
berry which occurred there, and, taking
Mrs. Thompson with him, settled in
Hull, where he lived for two months.
Robbery followed ROBBERY wherever the
pair were, put Mrs. thompson nerselr
knew not of the fact that her paramour
was concerned in them. London came

alton, after continuing for time, was
adjourned to Sheffield. On Jan. %,
