The trio seated themselves about

Maria.
He was almost startled as by an

head upon his shoulders with a long
drawn sigh of relief. He pressed his
lips to her cheeks and led her to her
chair at the table.

happy lives a far different meaning

their meal with a silent blessing.

There was a succession of raps upon

day preceding Thanksgiving. When
Miss Maria herself appeared at the
door she was greeted by a sturdy,
round-faced Pennsylvania German lad
from Dellinger's Cash store.

facilitate the saving Of the log. The
details of this attachment are shown.
Says the Scientific American: THE at
tachment consists Of u clamp adapted
to be secured to the handle (A) of an
ordinary AK. The clamp comprises
two jaws OBJ. through which a bolt is
passed. The upper end of this bolt
terminates in a support. The support
consists of two parallel arms, between
which a roller (O) is mounted to rotate.
The bolt which passes through the
Jaws of the clamp is fitted with a wing
nut, and by turning this nut the jaws
may be pressed together on the handle
of the ak. In use the ak is driven into
the log, and the clamp is then made
fast with the support, standing YER
ticaily. The saw is then guided be-
tween the arms of the support, and
the back Of the saw rests on the roller.
With the saw thus supported and
guided, it may he operated in the
usual manner to SAW through the log.
The roller may be mounted near the
outer end of the support or close to the
Jaws. In the former case the saw will
operate between the roller and the
jaws, and the support must be mount
ed to project downward. In order to
permit of removing the saw from the
support it is preferable to support the
saw on the outer side Of the roller,
guiding it In the open slot formed by
the two arms of the support. The
clamp is then applied, with the support
projecting upward instead of down.
