Boy Knights Nowadays.
Castle building.

Bertram was delicate and bookioving,
but David was strong. and his books, all
except the most exciting ones were dusty
outside and too clean inside. Still, he
would lie on his back for hour at a time
when Bertram would tell him stories of
dragons, knights ladies. castles and tour
naments. Last summer the boys lived as
much in 1900 as they did in 1900. They
fashioned arms and armor. and practiced
fitting and fencing, but it was dismal not
to have a castle TO defend, where sieges-
and feasts-could take place. The garnet
was poor sort of stronghold, and the eel
lar was nothing but dungeon. And yet
there were the wods ana Bertram thought
the top of the dlsused quarry the very spot
for castle.
I've seen a better place than that"
answered David; IAN island in Griswold's
stream"
The knights. led by valiant Sir Bertram,
very secretly built their stronghold on this
island. The stream was the moat, and four
feet Is not short jump by which to reach
a fortress bristlfrg with weapons, particu-
larry when the water Is three feet deep.
The castle was six feet square. The
knights drove four corner posts, then a
post between each pair. making eight sup
ports altogether. downstairs door the
enemy would batter down with a ram.

planks squares of wood were cut out, or
rather sawed out, at every other foot, or
as the boys would say, the walls were
''caLstellated" Not all planks were six
feet in length; some were three feet long.
Nearly all were six inches wide. and of
fair thickness. Ito Withstand blows" as
Sir Bertram remarked in an oid-time man

met them by chance.
She had been so happy in their friend
ship. Why. had she not spent whole days
with Red Feather in the woods, while he
taught her how to follow a trail and
showed her the different signs? And then
had he not told her wonderful stories OF
the Great Spirit. and had she not herself
seen the strange medicine men? But every
thing was so different now.
The air was sultry, as 1t is before a
thunder storm, and Nell was restless and
could not stay in bed any longer. She took
up blanket and wrapped 1t around her.
and went to the door OF the cabin and
gazed at the mountains. As she looked she
saw long tongue of fame shoot up from
one of the high peaks, that could be seen
for miles around

only too well what that signal meant. Her
father had told her that once the Utes had

and rantry.
All around the inner side of the walls a
shelf two feet wide and three feet from
the ground nailed upon cleats and

place for men-at-arms who wished to peep
over the rampart5 or to wing cioth-yard
shafts through the loopholes. The castle
was painted gray. with black lines traced
to outline the shapes OF imaginary blocks
of hardest granite. Sir Bertram, IL you
should ask him. would seriously tell you
that the walls of Castle Neverfali are ten
feet thick-providing you choose to make
believe they are. Why shouldn't there be

Vacation Schools and Fairgrounds.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The opening OF the vacation school sea-
son calls attention again TO a benefcent
movement that has become national. and
that is capable of expansion in many
healthy directions. In. this city vacation
courses are to be given in eleven school
buildings, and the attendance exceeds 600.
In one school alone nearly thousand eager
applicants had TO be turned away and IL
Is certain that, with proper facilities and
adequate appropriations. five times 5000
would very soon represent the total yaca-
ton school enrolment in this great and
cosmopolitan city.
In New York the board OF education Is
better equipped to meet the demand for
summer work and play, and II has just
Fairgrounds for a two months term. The
studies in the New York schools do not
differ from those offered in Chicago. They
comprise Industrial work for boys and
domestic science for girls, botanical and
historical excursions, etc. In the play
grounds the activities will include gym
nastics. athletics. games and dancing.
Some Of the Fairgrounds are on the roofs
OF the schools In the tenement house dis
tricts, and band concerts are to be given
on these roof gardens in the evening.
Old-world folk games and dances have
been made a feature OF the New York vaca-
ton school season, and the results are de-
clared by educators to be most gratifying.
No feature" one of them is quoted as
saying, has helped so much to spread an
air of refinement" over the sections that
in previous years were characterized by
boisterous play.
What New York and Chicago and few
other cities have done for the children who,
in the absence of vacation courses, would
doubtless spend the summer on the streets
and in the alleys and back yards, is re-
garded by earnest students OF child welfare
as a mere beginning. There is national
playground association in the country,
dent, and In a prospectus just Issued by IL
the need of proper places for play and
recreation for the young is urged on the
smaller annd backward municipalities.
Space, fresh air. trees and grass and
flowers spell physical and moral health.
the association well says. and to supply
these blessings is not a matter of orna-
mental philanthropy merely. Play Is In
structive and elevating when properly
guided. and preventive of what are called
the school Diseases.

OF times. once by the village toughs. who
did not use fair play. and were obliged to
retreat because the morning wore on the
flag was not hauled down and hungry
time came. Billy. the Buster, leader of
the gang, leaped confidently across the
moat-but a pail OF water and volley OF
tremendous war cries startled him SO
completely that he staggered back into the
water. soaking himself up to the thighs.
Spindly legged Sir Bertram was brave as
a lion. He directed the shots of the man
gonel from his tower. The finest shot of
the morning struck Farmer Griswold's COW
in the small OF the back. She blew her
horn in anger, and the defenders. chanting
song OF triumph put fresh arrow in
position. They did not call the shot wide
of the mark for they made believe the
COW was a dragon.
The attack OF Billy the Buster and his
men was the slap of a baby In comparison
with the great siege OF Sir Guy the Stout,
which we shall hear about later.

these little birds lowering about the orch

could do to mankind.
Often and often they have saved the
farmers crops OF apples. however. from the
dangerous attack OF the cankerworm. The
cankerworm's eggs are very small and very
numerous. and 1t takes the bright little
chick-a-dee's eyes to find them. and when
he has found them he eats them for break
fast dinner or supper. It matters not
which, and as he eats at least $50 for one
meal, his every meal is of great benefit to
the farmer.
