Max's Experience
 With the Mountain Bandits
By William Wallace, Jr.

Max Snodgrass was wild with enthu- siastic joy when In the late summer his father decided to take him to the Rocky Mountains for fall outing. Max had suffered severe spell of measles the spring before, and his lungs and chest were still in q weak condition from the Illness. It was for this reason that Mir. Snodgrass had made arrangements to have Max stay away from school for a few months and live in the open alr
 All plans for the Western trip were completed as quickly as possible, and the second week in September found Max and his father speeding away to- wards the setting sun. On the day fol- lowing their arrival In the little moun- tain town, which seemed to stick to the very sides of deep canyon, Max, dressed in overnlls. sweater and legglns, set out to explore the great mountain that loomed so nightly at the south ern limits of the town. He carried in his hip pocket his fathers revolver flor protection against mountain lions." as Max explained But he took pains to draw the skirt of his sweater well down over the weapon, that 1t might not at tract attention. The landlady of the ho- tel where Max stopped fixed an appetiz- ing luncheon for him. as he anticipated tramplng about all day, showing up at home at nightfall
 Towards noon Max came across spring of water that trickled from under a huge powder far up tho rugged moun- talnside. Here he snt down to rest and refresh himself with his luncheon. He had just finished the first sandwich and was stooping over the brink of the spring to get a cool drink when two dark flg- ures came quickly round from behind the powder and harsh voice called out: ''Throw up your hands!'
 Max, startled and not understanding that the command had been intended for him, at once arose to his feet and looked round. He beheld near him two rough looking youths a few years his senior-- boys of about 15 and 1T years of age. respectively-who threatened him with heavy sticks evidently cut from one of you monkey about 1t, eitherl" came the second order from the older and wicked er-looking boy, who advanced n step near

How To Make an Album of
 Notables' Portraits.

Children, don't you think 1t would be interesting-as well as helpful in the way of furnishing you with certain historical data-to make "Notables' portrait album?
 Well, here is the way to do so.
 Take a large scrapbook and letter the pages alphabetically. Then paste on the blank pages the portraits of noted per sons, portraits that you will obtain from time to time by cutting them out of newspapers and magazines. Magazine pictures are always the best. but often one cannot procure the desired pictures from that source and must be satisfied with those from the daily papers Leave only the name of the person under the picture, cutting away all other printed natter Place the pictures In alphabcti- cal order-or as nearly so as 1t is possi- ble, for this will enable you to turn readily to any picture you may wish to refer to.
 One boy of the writer's acquaintance has three of these albums. One is re-

Skinny. being called of by the referee (the larg- CT boy). got astride his horse again, and away the two urchins galloped down the street. calling back to Polly; "Girlboyl Cowardl"
 Poor Polly picked herselfsup and shook the dirt from her overalls.
 After all, being a boy meant great deal more than Polly had dreamed of. Wiping her face as clean as possible on her sleeves. Polly started homeward. Near her own gate she met Bessie Fur ner, who was her little chum. Bessie had called to spend an hour playing house" and she had her dolly with her. On beholding Polly Bessie opened her eyes and cried out in mortified voicei wy. Polly Martini Aren't you a-s-h-a-m-e-d!''
 I'm a poy." explained Polly. bit downcast

 Polly stood looking after her depart ing chum, and a heaviness came in her little glngham.covered breast. Then she glanced down at the soled overails and wornout sandals. How nice 1t would have been to have had Bessie stay and play house" After all. 1t was not 90 much fun being boy. less one was born that way.
 Just then Nim and Bob. Polly's brothers, came running home. When their eyes fell on Polly they both laughed. Then Bob, the elder. said: Say. Pol. does mamma know you have those togs onr'
 'You ought to be ashamed" declared Nim. "You look like those kids that live back down the alley. What you been up to. anywayf Your face is all covered with dirt"

Polly I'd advise you to exchange clothes with her again"
 Polly went slowly Into the house. She found her mother mapping on the sofa in the sitting room. Very quietly the little girl slipped out of the overalls and put on her pretty white frock that still hung over a chair in the room. Then she crept to the bathroom and sponged her face and hands. On returning to the room her mamma was still sleeping, so she drew her chair near the couch, and, with dolly in her arms, she sat waiting for her mammals eyes to open. And they did open pretty soon, and you may better believe that they looked gladly on the returned Polly-a girl once more.
 'I don't like being a boy" whispered Polly in her mammals ear. '1 wish to be just plain Polly Martin. and I'd like a cooky, please, mamma. Then, If you don't mind, I'd like to go to Bessie's and play house a little while"
 And. of course, mamma kissed her and said yes"

CT Max and raised the clublike stick as if to strike. Max noticed that, aside from these sticks they carried, the roughs seemed unarmed. Like a flash Max's hand sought his hip pocket-but alasl he had taken such precautions to cover the revolver with his sweater that now he could not readily extricate It. The sweater stubbornly caught in the handle. Before he could manage to draw the weapon from it's hiding place the roughs had noticed his intention. "Oh, hop the larger one cried, leaping upon Max and holding his arms in vse-like clutch. "So you carry a gun. do you7 Well. we'll save you the weight of 1t. Here, Jake'-addressing the other boy take what you can find In this kids pistol pocket
 The second boy quickly removed the re- yolver from Max's pocket, saying: "Shes bute. ain't she2" And he held the shin ing new weapon over for his pals" in- spection.
 Yep, and it's safer with us than with this young tenderfoot with hls lily-whlte mug" replied the older boy, who still held Max's wrists in an iron grip. But, say, let's tie our prisoners hands behind him. He'll mind better. Get that string out of your pocket-and be quick about 1t, too. We want to get away from here."
 The second boy put the revolver in his hip pocket and proceeded to assist his companion in tying Max's hands This done the older boy said:
 Face about: Marchl" And he jerked his thumb In the direction of the canyon that led away Into the wilds of the noun tains.
 Although Max was not a coward, he felt much alarm at finding himself thus unarmed and made helpless and defense less by two ruffans. Many an older and wiser person would doubtless have been more apprehensye of the dangers attend Ing the situation than was Max. His very inexperience served to rob him of much fear. ..What do you intend doing with me?' Max asked, refusing to move, and trying in vain to loosen the cord

 He can't either" declared Polly de- fiantly. She would be no coward-indeed she wouldn't.
 Show her, skinny" cried the big boy
 Skinny came close to Polly and thrust his tongue out at her. Then he picked up a handful of dirt and tossed 1t in her face. Polly's girl Instinct was to run away as fast as her legs could carry her, but her boy instinct told her to stand her ground. She rubbed the dust from her eyes on her sleeve and crowded back the tears. One thought guided her--she must prove true to her boyhood. Stopping sud denly, she picked up a small pebble and threw 1t at the offender, who was making mouths at her. The missile struck him on the shoulder.
 In another instant Polly was prone on

 Take you home with us,' grinned tho older boy. Don't get fractions, though. but trip along"
 "No," snid Max dennntly. If you wish to rob me-why. you can go through my pockets here. You already have my wen- pon. and can soon possess yourselves of what little money I have.
 "Oh, I guess not. sonny" sneered the younger rough. "We'll hold you for ransom. If we don't get it-well, you'll have just time to say your prayers. Then
