SAMPLES OF CocoANUT WARE.

how much is to be removed, as that will depend upon what you intend to make-vase, drinking cup or flower amount to be taken off.
 The sharp edge of the bowl must be cut off outside and in and then sandpa pered and polished With the beeswax. Cut out the contents of the nut and sandpaper the interior; and at last you are ready to display your skill as a wood, or, rather, nut carver.
 Take the end of needle or the end of compass leg and sketch out your design on the polished outside surface, or, if you are not expert with pencil, cut from some old magazine an outline picture which pleases you and paste it on the nut in the position you wish your decoration to be. Now take a sharp knife and cut through this pie ture into the nut, following the out lines of the picture.
 AS your lines are bound to be more or less wobbly on account of the round surface you have to work on select SOulc ucSlSu SuSSeSllNe OI 1uOldu WOTk, as the Aztec style of decoration, as shown in the drawing. This does not require any very great art and is very effective
 When you have cut your design out, you may beautify it still more by painting the parts in low relief with white, or, what is better. gold, paint, and the cup is finished except for the holder, which you may obtain for a few cents from any carpenter who owns wood turning lathe.
 A set of half a dozen such pieces of cocoanut ware will more than repay for the work required in making it by the attention it will attract as a beau tiful and unique curiosity.

were really there, or my spirit had
come back to haunt the place.
Presently the head jailer came to
me and told me that a fire had taken
place in the neighborhood the night
before, in which two strange men were
SO badly burned that death was but
O matter of hours with them. One OF
the men, when he was told that he
could not live, sent for the minister
and confessed to having committed the
murder l had been convicted of. His
story, which was subsequently confirm
ed by the other burglar, was, substan-
TALLY, that they had come to our
town in quest of proper prey. They
had learned that Miss c had many
well-to-do boarders in her house, some
of whom carried money with them in
large amounts, and they had determin-
ed to rob the house. The hour was
late, and the night very tempestuous
and black. the very elements seeming
to favor the wicked purpose of those
men. Their plan was to go to Miss C's
room and secure the keys of the
house, after which they could loot at
leisure. Accidently, however, they
awakened the landlady, who immedi-
ately set up such an unearthly scream
ing that it was found necessary to
despatch her without more ado. One
shot was enough for the dastardly
purpose, and the poor old creature,
who had never done any other harm
than to ask for her just dues, went
quickly over the river The robbers
then paused for moment to ascertain
II anyone in the house had been arous-
ed by the shot Concluding finally
that the storm had drowned the re-
port of the pistol, they determined to
leave at once, as the murder had so
unnerved them that they had no
thought Of theft. but cared only to
get away. AS they were going out,
however, they discovered a man lying
in the hall at the landing. near Miss
C's door, in drunken stupor. Then 1t
occurred to them to drag the man noise
lessly into her room, and leave him
there with pistol on the floor near
his hand. Their motive in doing this
was to divert suspicion from them
selves, as they were strangers in the
place. When they discovered that l
had a pistol in my pocket similar to
their own, they exchanged cartridges;
hence the empty shell in mine.
Gentlemen, that is my story"
Presently he said:
Il know there's one question you
all want to ask. You want to know
what I've got in my hat that had such
a startling effect upon me. will
tell you what it is.-it's a picture
it's not that of mother nor my sweet
heart. but,"-and he held his hat with
the inside turned toward US.
There was a picture there, one tt IT
caused us all to shudder. It was the
picture Of gallows.
Todd extended his hand.
THE deal is on" he said.
