 The witch waved her hand. and in place of the great smoothing iron there appeared a fowl done to turn and fragrant with sage dressing. A bowl of fried apples foated In over the open transom. The witch and Muchslash sat down to this repast, and the tailor carved with such skill that the old woman opened her eyes in surprise.
 Great things are in store for you, Much slash," she said
 The witch rose to her feet, and after scat tering n spell or two carelessly about the place, remarked:
 In cllmes afar beyond the blue
 Youth and riches await for you
 If with these shears, you thus shall do
 With snip and snap cut through and through.
 She then disappeared in vapor of sage and thyme Muchslash, who was old and had n beard which sometimes tangled with his feet climbed back to his bench. In place of his rusty shears he found q new pair of great size and brightness. They were marked Magic Cutlery" Just as he picked them up there came a loud knock at the door. and, without an invitation, there en- tered three men,
 Their faces were drawn and furrowed, as though by great suffering Although they were clothed in silks and satins, and wore jeweled swords by their sides, the three visitors were far from happy. Taking from the pockets of their slashed doublcts lace

How To Make A Doll Dress

Only the blouse part of this dress is give In the patterns, as the skirt consists nerels of deep ruhe having n smaller ruffle on the edge. To make the skirt cut a long. narrow piece of material three inches wide and Ia inches long Hem this on the bottom aud shirr the top together on the waist pafts though with the fold cut open and turne< back to form narrow hem each side of the opening.
 Tine front of the waist should be cut with the center laid on a ,engthwse fold of the material and the back in the same way.
 Take up inc narrow seam under the arms. being careful 10 see that the notches in the front and the back are together, then make m equally narrow seam on the shoulders. Gather the neck across the front and back between notches. After the waist part is sewed together gather the entire bottom and draw up the thread until the fulness its the dolls figure. Sew the waist and full skirt part together, placing the right sides to- gethcr. Use strong thread and make small stitches so that the seam will be firm. Make the bretelles of fancy silk or lace, and put them on the waist so that the notcbes meet the shoulder seams. Lay the right side of the brclelcs on the right side of the waist and sew firmly. The ends of the breteles should come just to the gathers in both front and back of the waist. Cut small placket In the skirt hounce at the back. and hem back both sides to match the opening of the waist.
 If more trimming Is desired put fril Of lace on shrred silk rufie around the bot tom of he skirt. This dress may be worn with or without the fancy gumpe the pat tern of which was given last week.

if the sign were 'Garbs of Grief for the Truly Miserable" Muchslash chuckled and said that he would not waste good cloth in adorn- lHg walking misery.
 As he sat Turk-ike on the bench in his little shop and saw the cheerless throng pass by his door, the more cheerful did the old ta .lor become. He sang merry songs about the chasing away of troubles and'the folly of crossing bridges which had not been reached. He was looked upon as such curiosity that the citizens went to see him as he piled his needle and sang all day and some of them even came in and had him make clothes just to hear him talk One man. whose life had been all blue Mondays. laughed at a joke of Muchslash, and was thereby cured of indi- cestion. He told others of his good fortune, and the fame of Muchslash, not only as tailor, but also as great physician, spread throughout the kingdom. The people of Plaint ordered more clothes and the town was a happier place in which to live than 1t had been since the accession of. the young king, who lived far away beyond the Forest of Sorrow.
 Muchslash one day was sitting on his bench watching q stew next the goose on the stove when the Wstful Witch entered. q am glad" said the Witch, that there is one cheerfu. person in this Kingdom of Woe, and I shall do myself the honor of eating your dnner.''
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-02-15

about his past with n smile, and as Il maker of mirth l have no equal, for l have made the motley garb of thousand clowns"
 Tell him a story" said the councillors of state
 Muchslash related them the marvellous ad- ventures of which he said as a tailor he could vouch 10 be made out of whole cloth but as the merry tale proceeded the sadder became the face of the King and the more wicked the gleam of hate in the baleful eyes of the mournfu and aerobatic clown.
 Even the cheerful story of how Robinson Crusoe found little cove running into the land and a great swell coming in from sea when he went to his desert island did in no way tend to make Megrim Il merrier mon arch.
 The chief executioner came in with n snickersnee and poised that great sword, waiting for the word of command to sever the head of Auchslash from his body.
 Tt seems to me- said the tailor. with il laugh, that 1t Is time for our friend Merton to show some sign of cheerfuness on this merry occasion.
 Muchslash waved his magic shears throupb the air and told Merton to mount the hori- zontal bar. The jolly tailor passed the shears along the bar on which Merton rested.
 He made a half circle with the shining shears around the clasped hands of the clown and then flashed the blades along the molding and through the neck of the sour faced acrobat.
 .fWonderful! exclaimed the court.
 Il rather think" said Muehslash, that have made Merton smile.'
 How he did so will be told in the next chapter. and if there Is anybody who would like to know before that be must study 1t out for himself.
