What was that?" demanded Leggy
suddenly. Richard had heard nothing.
He reared his head over the edge of
the basin to take a peep. Not that he
was much troubled, for no policeman
could have gotten across the square in
that time, and at night, and when he
wasn't expecting to find boys in the
fountain, it would be easy enough to
get away, anyhow.
What he saw was two gentlemen
strollng towards THE fountain. They
had been the nearest of the benchers,

knickerbockers of one of them, which
had been plainly discernible in the dis

string gave easily to his hand. He
pulled it slowly and the string gave
easily out under the door. He saw that
it had just been severed from the toe
of Richard, to which it had been tied,
and took this to be a sign that that
young person was awake. He had not
long to wait. The door opened softly.
Richard came out with the greatest
care, and the two boys crept hastily
down to the street, where they began a
mad dash for the square.
Leggy, of course, got there first.
When Richard came up with him he
found Leggy exulting. The square lay
bathed in the light of the moon so that
every part of it could be seen and there
was not policeman in sight.

Leggy grunted acquiescence. Il

The two boys walked home slowly,
talking the situation over. Two things
were agreed upon. They must not get
caught, and they couldn't give up the
plunge.

The Little Cherub

He was a cherubic youth of four, with
beautiful, blue-eyed countenance and
an angelic smile-the kind of boy that
honest persons long instinctively to kid
nap. He sat on the fence, swinging bis
heels and humming kindergarten
song.
"Oh, you darling! cried an impulsive
young woman, pouncing upon him and
giving him a hug. Has your mother
any more like you? Have you any lit
tie brothers?"
"Yop," replied the angelic boy, got
three. Me and Jack and Billy and
Frank"

Jack, I guess" replied the young
ster after a moment of deep thought.
"Yop, l like Jack best"
"And why" asked the young woman,
do you like Jack best?"
"Cause he did such a lovely errand
for me once"
What was that lovely errand?"
"Ie bit Billy on the leg" replied the
sweetly serious cherub.
why" pursued the young woman,
didn't you do your own biting?"
"Cause 1 hate the taste of Billys
legs" was the calm reply.-Exchange

LULU'S SURPRISE PARTY

It was on the morning of Lulu's BIRTH
day. and she sat in her rocking chair
in her bedroom reading a pretty book
which she had just received from her
aunt. Lulu was very happy sitting
there, and as the sunshine came in,
it made the room look bright and cheer
full.
The little girls mother was surprised
to see Lulu reading alone, for she
thought her daughter was out playing
with some of the neighbors. But she
said: you will expect my present
this afternoon dear, and I am sorry
could not give it to your sooner"
Lulu smiled, closed her book and went
out with her mother. She found that
her mother had been making jelly tarts
and she was very fond of them. Her
mother then said: Lulu, you may take
some of these tarts OIL this plate and
eat them under the elm tree with the
little girl who lives next door, If you
like
Lulu was happy when eating the traits
under the big elm tree with Elizabeth.
Pretty soon she was called in to din
ner, so she bade Elizabeth goodbye
and went into the house. After din
ner her hair was curled and a clean
dress put on her. Then she looked
very sweet indeed.
Lulu asked her mother why she had
to have her hair curled. Her mother
answered: Because probably some one
birthday"
Half an hour later, there was loud
ring at the bell. Lulu flew to the door,
and as she opened it, a lot of boys and
girls, ready to greet her, shouted Sur

could hardly speak. AS soon as she
realized what she was doing, she well
coined her guests.

One day little crippled turkey was

its mother very much at first, but soon

with sticks and straws. The eggs were
white, with brown specks on them, just
like Sammys nose when the summer

Mrs. Wiggs because she had all that
family to rear. How carefully she
watched over them! She ate little her
self, feeding the babes all the nice It'd
bits of fat bugs and grasshoppers.
Turkey hens talk to their little ones,
which understand and mind every
word, perhaps because the mother
makes no idle threats. If she says

they run and hide. One day l was
feeding them on the open bare ground
when a little blue hawk darted swiftly
overhead. The mother said hawk"

had clothed them in their grayish black
color they looked just like the EARTH

up and began to eat. If she says

A TRAP-DooR SPIDERS NEST

One day my little brother and
were playing under a pepper tree In
our back yard. There was a swing un-
der the tree I was swinging and my
brother was digging around the tree
with his little shovel. Suddenly the
boy shoveled the door off a spiders
house. He ran away, expecting to see
a spider jump out, because mamma
had always cautioned him to keep
away from spiders.
The spider came to the top and
supposed 1t was going to escape, but
when 1t saw us it went down again.
l poured some cold water in the nest
and thought / would drown the occu-
pant out of its home, but it did not
come out. Then / poured some hot
water in the nest, but still the spider
did not come out. l decided 1t was
dead, so / began to examine it's home.
The nest was made very wonderful

almost as smooth as silk. This sub
stance was very tough. On one edge
there were two little holes about as
large as pin holes and about a six
teenth of an inch apart. 1 suppose
they are what the spider uses when he
goes inside and closes his door. The

tough substance.

How TO Construct the Useful Combination Lock

THERE is fascination about COM
bination lock. You invite all to
open it; there is no key just turn
the knobs right, but no one but you
can open it. Any boy with a little
skill can make a combination lock that
will defy the efforts of the most prying.
Then with his knowledge of the combi-
nation he can unlock his hut or money
box when all others will be locked out.
To make a combination lock secure
several knobs, say three, such as are
placed upon drawers. With file make
a mark on one side of each and at
tach the knobs to the ends of a smooth
piece of round rod, like a piece of
broomhandle. Make a hole in the box
cover a bit larger than the broomhan-
die, so that it will turn easily therein.
Make as many holes as you have
knobs. Three combinations will ordi-
narily be sufficient protection. So, now
we have three brass knobs with short
pieces of broomhandle, each fitting
nicely into three holes in the box cover
The distance of the holes from the
edge of the cover must be the same
Make three dials with whatever num-
bers or letters you desire and make a
hole in each dial the size Of the holes
IN the cover or larger. These dials
are to be tackled tightly on to the cover
so the hole in the dial is over the hole
in the cover. When the dials are at
tached and the short rods with knobs
are put through the holes, the marks
OH the knobs will point to the figures
on the dials, and the outside Of the
lock is done.
Next get three round pieces of board,
each with a radius a little, quite little
greater than the distance the holes are
from the edge of the cover. These are
to be firmly attached to the inside ends
OF the broomsticks. close to the cover,
So that they will turn with the knob
and not slip on the broomstiek. This
can be done I'm several ways. A good
way is shown in the illustration.
