There are, besides screens, other
means for keeping out the cold winds.
Among them may be mentioned the
homely sandbag-always made in Tur-
key red by the professional vender-
but there is no reason why the ANA
teur should not provide himself with
these useful articles in any colored
material that he likes, and at consid-
cradle less than their usual cost. The
bags should first be made with only one
corner left open for receiving the sand,
poured into them through funnel.
India rubber piping and felt are both
used for the same purpose, nailed
round doors and windows which do not
fit properly, says writer in Home
Notes.
Portieres are also particularly TO be
recommended for screening doors ON
the ground floor; brass or iron rods
with their fitted iron brackets for
screwing on the doors can be bought
for the sum of thirty-five cents and
upward; the curtain of heavy art serge
or plushette will probably cost dollar
or more, according to the material Sc
lected.-Washingto Times.

chicken wire in front of the fence and
grow the vines on the wire.
Foliage vines, except English ivy. are
good for this purpose. Virginia creeper

these. Vines with abundant foliage

flowers that require support. These

CAUGHT IN CLEVER TRAP.
Answering of Familiar Cry Proved
Undoing of Criminal.


"Co-e-e" is the curious cry that was
one of the signals of the native blacks
of Australia. The cry was speedily
adopted by the invading whites. The
final "e' is very high note, sort
of prolonged screech that resounds for
long distances through the bush, and
thus enables separated persons to
ascertain their relative positions, On
one notable occasion this peculiar cry
was heard in London. A daring bush
ranger made his appearance one
morning in front of a bank in Bal
larat. and coolly posted a notice on
the door to the effect that the place
would be closed for an hour.
Entering he terrorized the officials
with his revolver, and got clear away
with $4,000 Some time afterward
the authorities received information
that the man had been seen in Lon
don. One day detective thought he
espied his man in the Strand, but not
being quite sure he hit upon an ex-
pedient. He uttered piercing
"Coo-e-e.'
Passers-by stood fixed in astonish-
ment. but the Australian, acting on
the spur of the moment, and recog-
nizing the familiar sound, FASTENED
to the person who uttered it. He was
promptly arrested and was taken
back to Australia.

that the BLACK Petrol" anchored in

Knowing the location Of Greloire's
house, LATTE lost no time in reaching

servant, who led the way through a
spacious hall to closed door at the
farther end; this he opened noise
1essly, and announced Jim's presence.
At the sound of the servants voice
Greloire started hastily; with n joyful
exclamation he jumped to his feet
with outstretched hands.

Greloire's face clouded again. but
only for an instant; and. placing a

take breakfast.

Wagram, was decorated, and pen

Then while the day grew. the two
perfected their plans.

horseback that same evening, making
no prolonged stop until Toulon was
reached. They arrived there early one
afternoon. and rested until the follow
