enchanting, but they taste diff
ferent.
Well, all at once there arose "a ter
rible howl. And when Robinson Cru
soc Pettywhistle and Polly Molly
Sweetlythings looked around, there
he was!
He was goggle-eyed and mobile
mouthed. He had tufted ears and a
diabolical expression. He had spidery
legs and skeleton arms. And he sat
on a little world of his own, spinning
swiftly.
How he howled. He howled like
the wind when it is at its howliest. He
screeched like more cats than you can
find in a cat show. But mingled with
his noises were cackling and a
laughing.
The cackling came from a big white
goose. The laughing came from
Mother Goose herself
Hi, vi xii" shrieked the Goblin
King, for that is who he was. "Ha,
ha, no! I've gotten here just in time
to fool you!"
And in a moment he had yanked out
a great big chunk of the rainbow, so
that a gap opened right at the feet
of Robinson Crusoe Pettywhistle and
"W-e-e-e-e-e!" yelled the Goblin
King.
Don't jump" cried Mother Goose.
Don't jump! If you try to jump on
a rainbow, you will go through it as
If it was melted butteri"
Robinson Crusoe Pettywhistle gazed
gloomily at the gap. Deep, deep be-
low, so far away that it seemed as if
he were looking at it through the
wrong end of a spyglass, was the
earth with the town of Playburg sit
ting right in the middle of it.
1t made him dizzy. But he longed to
jump, just the same, for only a little
way on the other side of the gap was
that pot of gold!
A pot as black and big as a chowder
pot it was land it was bubbling and
bubbling like mad, just as a chowder
pot does when it is full to the brim
and boiling over. Only this pot was
boiling over, not with chowder, but
with gold!
Gold popped out of It like steam;
gold dubbed out over the edges and
went tinkling and twinkling and
sprinkling downward to the far earth
below!
"W-e-e-e-e-e-e!" yelled the Goblin

mates hardly knew me. We sailed

hair and beard stood on the shore
and waved his hands at US. A storm
was coming up, so we did not stay

man, and when he came aboard /

friend, Miss Polly Molly Sweetlythings,
who lived right next door, which is the
address of all the nice girls that boys
knew in the times of Ammo Domini
Long Ago; and the two started out at
once to get the pot of gold before the
rainbow should fade.
The first mile was most agreeable
and seemed to make itself quite short
in an exceedingly obligng manner. But
the second mile was gloomy and re-
served and they had to make a great
many steps very quickly, for their legs
were unfortunately short.
So, before they had quite gone two
miles. it became necessary to sit down
for a rest: and in order to do it the
better, Robinson Crusoe Pettywhistle
and Polly Molly Sweetlythings closed
their eyes. But they did not sleep. In
deed, no. The best proof of that is that
they were perfectly well aware that the
rainbow all at once began to sink-low-
er and lower, till it actually touched the
very mound on which they were sitting.
And then, of course. they jumped up
and sprang upon 1t.
Robinson Crusoe Pettywhistle and
Polly Molly Sweetlythings will never
know how far they ran; only they
know that it was many, many miles
more than ten, maybe yet, even more
than seven. Whatever the tremen-
dous distance may have been, the
striking and unique point of the mat
ter is that although they ran most
frightfully fast, they did not get tired
a bit.
OF course, grown-up persons who
are naughty because they are old, will
sheer at this and deny that it is pos
sible to run fast and far without get
ting most entirely and completely tir-
ed; but then they do not know any
thing about running on a rainbow,
and the truth remains that you can
run miles and miles and miles and
miles on a rainbow without even feel
ing the teeniest, weeniest pain in the
legs or feet.
This is one of the great comforts
that rainbows carry with them.
1t was a most delightful trip, for
the rainbow was all made of shiny
things that were not air or glass or
colored paper or yet gems, and still
looked like all of these things and
lots of other nice objects beside, such
as peppermint candy, for in
stance.
But it didn't taste like peppermint
candy at all, as Polly Molly found
out when she stopped and broke a bit

were two strangers in little boat
near the ship who wanted to speak to

Pretty soon the two strangers enter

| the mark
In saving straight, nothing can be
more useful to the amateur than the
inter boX-a wooden or metal trough
with upright Sits in it's vertical sides
for guides. The saw runs in these
alongside of the pieces of wood and
is kept true to the proper direction
when making the cut.
Be careful in starting the cut not
to jerk the saw or to work it irregu
larly. The more even and measured
your strokes can be made the
greater both in quantity and in
quality will be the work you turn
out.
The saw is particularly useful in
making lemons.
A tenon is a projection formed by
cutting away all the wood around 1t
and made to insert into mortise;
mortise is a cavity followed out to re-
ceive the tenon.
The tenon and mortise joint binds
timberS together securely at right an
giles to each other.
The tenon is cut at the end of
piece of wood in the direction of the
grain; the mortise is cut parallel with
the grain and necessarily in such
manner that the tenon fits into it eX-
actly.
Both tenon and mortise must be
measured most carefully and accurate
ly and marked out before being cut.
In cutting a tenon, the work is placed
in the carpenters wise or bench screw
in the position most convenient TO the
workman, who steadieS both htmsel
and the piece upon which he is at work
by grasping it with his left hand while
using the saw with his right.
Cutting lemons is rather difficult WORK
for the amateur on account of the ac-
curacy required. Unless the saw De
held absolutely true and the cuts are
perfectly straight, the work will not
fit.
If either piece rounds up or hollows
out the joints will be crude and inse-
cure.
The two cuts with the grain are
made first. Then the wood is turned
and cross cuts or shoulders are resaW-
ed out. the wood lying fiat on the table
against the bench stops.
The most convenient way to saw
down the length of plank is to place
it upon a support, where 1T is helu
steady by resting the right knee upon
it. Let the eye look down on both
sides of the saw, and as the work goes
on, drive a wooden wedge very gently
and cautiously in the kerr or saw cut
to keep it open so that the saw can
move easily backwards and forwards
Do not draw the saw too far out OF
the wood or the end may catch in the
wood and get bent.
Work YOUR saw at an acute angie
with your wood: you will get along
much faster than by holding it up

sary work if you mark your wood
clearly with a pencil or with chalk
before saving it.
When you have to make long cut,
1t is good idea to turn the wood
over and mark it on the under as
well as on the upper side. Then
you can work from the other
side if you find you are leaving

A Marksman From Kentucky.

Even though the American

back the Palma trophy, the
American soldier is noted as a
shot, says the New York Tribune.

the army, however, are the men
from the mountains of Kentucky
and Tennessee.

man in my company, some of
them veterans wearing the dis

a shootist in that team that lately
