CHAPTER XVII.-(C ontinued.)
Mary Holland rose and stood beside
her. Her hand fell upon Sarah EastbelPs
arm, and once more the clear look in the
eyes seemed beyond all deceit.
Sarah, leave me with my miserable
little secret for a while-it will be ex-,
planned sooner than you think, although
/ dare not say a word now, for all our
sakes. Have l been so false a friend
that you cannot trust me in a time of
common peril?

very suddenly and sharply-"why did you

ut was his wish that you should not

answering the latter question first; "and

"He will come himself now" said
Sarah eagerly, "if he thinks we are not
safe here. And yet he has thought If us
so little; he has kept away so long, we
have all died away SO surely from his in

Sarah stopped, and her hands were
pressed quickly to her breast to still its
sudden leaping, while Mary Holland
clasped the others arm, as a sudden
knocking at the outer door, followed by
ringing of the bell, announced a late
visitor to Sedge Hill.

pered, as they went across the drawing

surprise, and in her warmth of welcome
Here was one friend at least whom she

USING UP OLD SHOES.
A Thrifty Housewife Makes Ruge o
Worm Leather.

A Thrifty Housewife Makes Rugs Of
Worn Leather.
The thrifty housewife has discovered
a new use for old shoes. She makes
rugs out Of them.
For this purpose she saves all her
old shoes-her husbands, the chill
dren's and her own. Even though the
soles, toes and back seams are worn
beyond redemption, that does not mat
ter, as only the uppers are of use in
making rugs.
AS fast as the shoes are discarded
it will be a good plan to cut the tops
off, and after cleaning them lay them
carefully away in box for future use.
The unders may then be thrown away
to avoid unnecessary accumulation.
The first step Is to cut pattern
diamond, star, square, oblong or right
angle triangle. If the latter Is de-
sired, it should measure four inches
along the straight sides. Two tri-
angles can be cut from each shoe top.
To make a rug 22x36 inches will re-
quire the uppers from eighteen pairs
Of shoes.
For the center of the rug purchase
piece of leather about fourteen inches
square from the cObbler or harness
| maker. On this outline the words,
what Is Home WITHOUT a RugY
three words to the top line, one to
the second and the remaining two to
the last line. Then proceed to cut cut
the letters. 1t will be a good plan
to draw the letters on paper, basHng

ting through both the paper and leath'
er with a sharp knife. Care must be
taken to leave Sits of the leather uncut
at intervals, or nothing except a hole
will be left when the cutting is fin.
ished.
To lace the leather together pur'
chase eyelets like those used in shoes
for 25 cents q box. One box contains
several hundred eyelets. By means OF
an awl punch holes in the leather
strips and fasten the eyelets at the
same time. Or, if the eyelets are moi
desired, merely punch holes with ar
awl and lace the strips together with
shoestrings. Finish with fringe Of
shoestrings. Line the entire rug with
bright red broadcloth or flannel, slash
ing all the edges to the depth Of three
inches for an under fringe. The red
will LOOK pretty under the laces and
lettering, and the rug will last life
time
