When little girls are Ill and are obliged to remain indoors for several days or weeks together they find the time very heavy on their hands, with nothing to do but look from the win dows or to play with their old toys. But dolls house Is ever entertaining to little miss. for In q way she Is q little housekeeper, attending to the man. agement of dollie's house and keeping 1t strictly in order. Directions for mak- Ing q dolls four-room house are given here:
 Take an ordinary soap box. or any wooden box of like proportions, and stain lt outside with some pretty color, preferably dark green or tan. Stand the box on end and put into 1t three partitions, or floors, making the rooms one above the other, four stories high. Windows may be cut through the sides of the box, if desired, although the one that was seen by the writer was without windows, sufficient light being admitted through the open side, which is, of course, the front of the house.
 The house should have a small table on which to stand, and after completion should not have to be lifted about from chair to table or vice versa.
 After the outside of the box has be- come dry paper the Inside with a pretty piece of light wall paper pink or pale green, with flowers sprinkled over its surface Then cover the floors with bits

of cloth to represent rugs or carpets. The first Qower) floor should be the kit chen; the second floor, the dining room; the third floor, the liying-room, or par Tor; the fourth and top floor should be the bedroom.
 If the little girl for whom the dolls house is being built has doll furniture on hand 1t may be retouched with stain and varnish, and do very nicely for the new house. A stove, a kitchen table, cupboard and two wooden chairs fur nish the kitchen. A dining table, two cane chairs and sideboard will supply the dining room. Of course, there must be some tiny dishes to set the table. A little upholstered parlor set, or odd bits of sitting room furniture, will make the parlor, or living-room, complete. The last, and top room-the bedroom-wants merely a bed, a chest of drawers and two small chairs. one of them a rocker.
 An immense amount of pleasure may be had with dolls house when grille is too indisposed to run and play out of doors with her comrades. She will in- vite her little girl friends to come and fetch their dollies for an afternoon tea with her dollies in their new house.
 The picture of a dolls house, such as has been described here, accompanies this article, and may be of help to one building dolls house for the first time.

low signing of the warm summer breeze, combined to make Teddy drowsy, and, turning to sport, he said: Aren't you 1t would be a good idea to lie down under this tree for a little rest-and maybe a nap in the bargain. Come, lie beside me and snap at the flies that come to bother us. Hegh-hol It's fine to lie on the soft grass under a spreading tree full of twit- tering birds"
 And stretched full length on the grass, in the refreshing shade. Teddy and Sport both fell into a profound sleep. But hardly had they lost consciousness when Teddy was reused by a rough touch on his arm. "Ah, here's a boy" said loud and terrible voice. Well take him and put him In our curiosity cage. He'll en- tertain US when we're lonely. It will be great fun to see him trying to climb out',e
 "Ah, yes," said another terrible voice. which roared in Teddy's ears like thun- der. And here's dog we'll take him, too, for he'll be good meat for dinner. Won't we go home to the mountaintop well supplied today? An, this wood abounds with good things, if only one has the patience to hunt for them. Now, if we had brought our guns we'd kill the dog and dress his carcass right here in the wood and make him ready for the feast on arriving at home." Then Ted dy's shoulder was clutched so harshly that he finched from the pain of it and said in pleading voice, as he dared to raise his eyes to the horrible monsters who stood towering above him. "Oh, whoever or whatever you are, please, please do not carry me and Sport away.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-06-21

My home is over the hill wonder, and my mother and father are waiting for me-
 As Teddy said this he took a good look at the creatures who had come so suddenly upon him and who seemed in- tent upon taking him and Sport captive. There were two of them, and they were in the form of giant birds, with huge beaks that extended fully two feet in length. The most peculiar thing about these giant birds was that they could talk in the language common to man. kind. Teddy, although half frightened to death, could not help noting this peculi- arity. Never. never before had he heard birds talk, and never had he heard that there was certain kind that had the power of speech. But these birds were such huge thingsl They stood about 10 feet or more high. Teddy had once seen monsters it was a very small bird, in- deed.
 "What-did you hear this little chap ask us not to take him home with us?' asked one bird of the other, Tapping his surely has what people commonly call nerve to ask such a thing of those so much his superior in strength Why, he came into these woods today to take young birds into captivity, and yet he puts up a whine when the tables arc turned on him. Ah, ha young fellow, we'll give you taste of being in cap tivity! It's hard on the creature behind the bars, but it's lot Of amusement to those on the outside-or that's the way it's usually thought to be. Well, get up and come along. We can't barley with you over the fate we have in store for

wife gave her share of entertainment. and every fisherman told his number of yarns to the children and took them for short sails upon the billowy deep.
 Let's go away oown the curye,' cried Betty to her cousins. Lulu and Johnny. as they were playing on the beach one morning. It's fine down there and we'll find lots of pretty shells"
 Of course Lulu and Johnny were glad to accompany their cousin, and the three set out without waiting for other chil- dren of the village to join them. T think it's lots of fun for just us three to go alone" declared Betty. Well go away down wonder, then we'll turn the curve, and then we'll come to point of land that runs ever and ever sula teacher says. It's about a mile long, and when the tide comes in 1t covers the land-end first. for it's higher at the end that goes out into the water. So it's dangerous to go out there when the tide is coming in. for If you go to the fartherest end you're likely to get cut off from the mainland by the water. That would be awful, wouldn't it?''
 Goodness, a feller would be drowned. wouldn't her" declared Johnny. Say, is there any danger of the tide this morning?'
 'Oh, DO, we'll have tide at four o'clock this afternoon" explained Betty, who was always informed concerning the tides But she didn't go on to explain to her visitors that the tide varied in time from day to day, being governed by the moons movements.
 Soon the three little ones rounded the curve and came in sight of the point of land or the "baby peninsula" as some fichar-fpik al nd the point ran Betty, Lulu and Johnny, gathering shells and sea weed along the way. As Betty had said, that part of the point of land which connected itself with the mainland was lower than its farther extremity, which reared itself in the form of a miniature dune to the height of several feet. During low tide one could traverse this point of land for the distance of mile. During high tide there was not foot of the point to be seen above the water which en- yeloped 1t.
 After they had tired themselves out and felt that 1t was dinner time the three chill dren wended their way homeward They carried aprons and pockets full of shells and bits of soft seaweed, for they were making a collection of these pretty gifts from the great ocean.
 After dinner Betty's mother laid out a task for her to perform, and told Johnny and Lulu that they must play q few hours without the companionship of their cousin. But as soon as her work Is done," added Mrs. Bates, ''she shall join you, and then you will play as much as you like for the remainder of the day.
 So Lulu and Johnny went out to play on the beach, joining the other children of the village. But toward o'clock the home youngsters began growing tired of the hot sand and glaring sunlight and re- turned to their homes, leaving the visit ing boy and girl alone on the beach,
 For awhile time hung heavily on their hands, and Lulu suggested that they re-

 'I was saying" whimpered Teddy, "that I don't want you to carry me away. I want to go home to my mother and father. If they should never. never see me again what would they dor"
 "Oh, they'd get over 1t just as the mother and father birds get over the sad disappearance of their little fedg- lings," declared one of the huge birds. When you marked that tree down the way wonder, in order that you might go back and rob birds nest-one that contains three beautiful little nestlings- you didn't ask what their mother would do when she should come home and find her dear little ones stolen away from the nest. No, you intended to carry away nest and birdiesp and to put the birdies into a cage where they would beat their little breasts against the bars in their frantic endeavor to get out. And how unhappy they would be. thrust into a jail, robbed of their liberty, the fresh air and the companionship of their kind! An, it is to save the little birds in that nest-and in other nests-that we are going to carry you of. with us and put you into our curiosity cage. Then, and not till then, will you under stand the fate of the wild creatures that are taken into captivity by boys and men,"
 .'Oh, l beg you to let me go home to my mother and father" walled Teddy. tears of anguish streaming from his eyes. If you will allow me to go I'll promise you never, never to steal birds nesu-even though there isn't bird in 1t; nor will I ever kill a little squirrel, or any living thing, just for the pleasure of doing 1t. And I'll per

BY MAUD WALKER.

Come, no whining!" cried one of the birds, picking his shoulder with his sharp beak. Come. get up and be off with usl''
 Teddy struggled and rose, when-lol the birds were nowhere to be seen! There beside him on the grass slept Sport. Had he-Teddy-been asleep and dreaming? Yes, he had had night mare in the daytime. He felt some thing damp on his cheek. It was an undried tear. He had wept real tears in his misery while dreaming. But, oh, the joy of the waking! He was not to be carried away into captivity and put into a curiosity cage! He was to run home to his mother and father and to tell them of this horrible dream which, after all, was so full of meaning. And the tree that he had marked-oh, he'd keep as far away from that as possible. And never, never again would be rob birds nest, or harm In any way a crea- ture of wood, water, air or plain. He would let live as well as live. And. calling to Sport, Teddy ran of home ward a better and happier boy than he had ever been before.

coming waves almost dashing them iron their feet and proving a sorer menace as they receded again, struggling to draw the little ones from their spot of safety.
 Into the boat, quick; come with the re- ceding wavel' cried Betty, thrustlng an oar into the sand to keep the boat quiet long enough to allow of Johnny's and Lulu's getting into 1t.
 When she had rescued her cousins from the water Betty turned her attention to rowing. and said nothing till they were safely landed on the pier. Then turning to them she said: "Now, you two inland kids want to learn something about tides before you go exploring on that-or any other-point of land. You had a close call to go to live with the fish for a while, you did. Hadn't it been for that little old boat down there-'
 'The boat hadn't nothing to do with it," broke In Johnny. 'It was just you, Betty, and not the boat, what saved Lulu's and my life. And you're a-a- brick. Yes, sir, you're a genuine brick, If you are only a girl" And then they all went to the house to tell the good mother and aunt of their exciting ex- perience of the afternoon.
 "And mall keep a close watch on you after this," declared Betty, flor you two aren't safe to run at large in fisher mans village. Why it's likely enough that the crabs would carry you off."
 A1d Johnny and Lulu said never . word, for they felt they deserved to be made sport of.

suade other boys not to harm the wild creatures, for I'll tell them about you. and of the horrible thing you were about to do to me-
 ''No. no. you might forget your good promises" said one of the huge birds. Tn order to make you realize the enor- mity of the sin you commit when you take birds or harmless little animals and put them in cages we shall take you to our abode on the top of mighty moun- tain and there imprison you in great cage. But we'll give you food and water, and there'll be room enough for you to run and jump inside the cage. So, 1t will not be so terribly bad after all, will it? And we'll have feast off Sport. He's q fine dog, fat and ten der"
 "Oh, oh, oh," walled Teddy, falling upon his face as the terrible picture of his fate, and of old Sports. was pre- sented thus to him. ''Oh, oh, oh, why was I ever so wicked as to want to rob little harmless birds of their liberty, and little happy squirrels of their lifel Oh, oh, oh, now I am suffering the pun ishment of my wickedness!"

much, you know. I've heard better news" or i've been more vastly pleased before, old fellow"
 As they penetrated deeper and deeper into the great shady wood the birds twitter became more and more noisy, for the trees seemed to be filled with the little feathered creatures Then Teddy began his search for nests. He looked eagerly Into every small, bushy- topped tres hoping to see | dark object half hidScn away in some secure nook be- tween closely knitted boughs. But the little wild things hat seemed to under stand the danger that menaced them with the coming of summer days, for they had so securely 7ecreted themselves and their nests from view that Teddy looked and looked in vain for them.

BRAVE BETTY BATES.
BY HELENA DAVIS.

Betty Bates lived with her parents on the sea shore. Just above the Bates cabin-which stood so close to the waters edge that the roar of the sea was always heard within its walls there huddled together half hundred huts and cabins belonging to fishermen. This isolated hamlet was commonly called "The Fishermen's Nest" but the inhabitants themselves had given 1t the name of Snug Harbor." The stretch of beach above which the village was built lay fin a circular shape, thus forming n snug little inlet or harbor where the fishermen could anchor their boats. Several well built piers ran into the water which at this point was quite shallow for some dis tance out towards the sea.
 And along the sandy beach played many children, among them the little heroine of this story, Betty Bates. They gathered shells as the tide receded; ran and frolicked in the surf as the tide ad- vanced And all day long, when there was no school, did the fisher folks lit tie ones play on the beach.
 One fine June day there came a woman and two children to Snug Harbor to visit one Of the families living there. The woman was the sister of one of the fish ermen; and the children, a boy and a girl, were her son and daughter. It was their first visit to Snug Harbor and the little ones found great delight In watch ing the great blue water spreading on and on before them, seemingly without end.
 Now, the host and hostess to the visi- tors were none other than Sam and Martha Bates, father and mother of lit- tie Betty. And the visiting woman was Sam Bates sister. Although all the fsher-folk were poor they did their ut most to make the visitors to their lit tie village welcome, and every house

"Pshaw, Sport. the birds have hidden themselves away tighter than mice," he said after an hours hunting But just as he spoke his eye detected small, dark object tucked away in the crotch of small tree. "A birds nest at last!" he cried. whistling to Sport to come and look. "Yep, there it is, birds nest. old Sport. And I'll bet my fishing tackle against my skates that therere little birds in 1t, too But I'll just mark this tree and come back to it after while. for if the nest has birds in it I want to get 1t and take it home, and I'm not ready to go just now. l want to look for other game before dinner time.''
 Then Teddy marked the tree holding the little nest by cutting a eros in the bark
 There," he said, "I'll not miss that on my way back homc."
 So on he and Sport went, deeper and deeper into the woods, looking for squir- reis and Hitter nice. Then the hum of insects, the continuous twitter of the birds hidden away in the branches, the

 Well, Sport, old boy" said Teddy, as they entered the woods, well likely run across some fine squarrels. It's a pity didn't bring, my gun, for then I could have shot some of them. It's good practice to shoot squirrels and birds. It makes the eye true"
 Sport made reply by wagging his tail. Indeed, Sports vocabulary was very linn ited. Ills only means of conversation was shake of his tail, sometimes ylgor- ous, again less so, just In accordance with his feelings. If he was nightly pleased over anything he wagged bis tail most furiously. and sometimes 1t seemed in danger of flying off But, on the other hand, if he was only a little lit pleased over anything he would give | few lackadaisical swings of his tail in the most lazy fashion possible, as + say iag: 'Oh. that doesn't really amount to
