dians Of New York state make for
various household uses of their white
sisters.
This basket was nearly full of the
winter supply Of woolen stockings, all
neatly mended and laid away till fail.
In this basket. on these soft stockings,
had Madam Kristine made her nest
and hatched out her interesting fam
uy.
She must lave found the door ajar
and managed TO pry off the cover,
which lay on one side. and here she
had hidden all these weeks.
The room was put in order and the
door closed, and Kristine was provid-
ed with place in the yard. Every
day she wandered off with her babies,
but she never started until she had
visited the breakfast table with her
whole brood to get her regular morn
ing meal.
At first 1t was funny to see them run
around and pick up crumbs, but as
they grew it began to be troublesome
to have flock of turkeys so much at
home In the house. SO mamma made
a new law that kristine and her fam
lily must be fed at the door.
After that her life was IKE that Of
the other turkeys. only she knew her
name and would come when called and
never failed to run up TO Margery
whenever she saw her.
And the dinner that walked away
last year supplied twelve tables with
dinners this Year end provided Mar
gerry with a--8ns lot ot pocket money
for her pains.

making the final inspection OF his APP

her fathers work, to be certain that
all was well, and then at nod from
him took her station at the other mon:
ster which had not been used hither-
to. There was a simultaneous move
ment on their part, and, as If suddenly
endowed with SOUL the lights once
more flashed here and there, glaring
at them with sinister contempt
Frankensteins under control!
The admiral, fascinated by the mys-
terry of science, stared at the white
haired old man who was calmly watch
ing his play of colors, and then at the,
girl who with equal self-possession
and GOODNESS manipulated the strange
: currents beneath her hands. They
were animated as by one mind, throw
ing their levers and switches to and
fro at identically the same moment
without looking at each other, and the
click of the closing currents came In
unison Not until then did they step
back from their stations and inter-
change what seemed to the admiral
mutual glances of congratulations
THAT assistant of mine is Won
der!" was all the old man said as he
came over, dragged stool up beside
that on which the officer sat, and glee-
fully rubbed his hands together. "She
thinks more clearly than ! do"
Brockton, who had been tense as
violin string and had almost forgotten
to breathe, drew long breath and
looked at the girl, who had been lean
ing against the wall as though ex-
hausted, but was now watching the
slowly cooling metal He would have
asked questions; but the ~ inventor
turned to him and with an air of
triumph said:
Il wish you would invite all those
who were here when we made the first
test. Then you will have the .explana-
tion unless am again mistaken"
:, The admiral obeyed, and even as the
cooling sprays were sitting over the
great pieces, of metal they came troop
ing in from the work which they had
resumed. There were men from the
draughting. rooms with pencils behind
their ears, engineers from the outside
with shirt sleeves rolled up and for
gotten diagrams under their arms, and
one man came from the laboratory abb
sentmindedly carrying a test tube,
balancing it so. that he might spill
none of the liquid which. it contained.
Norma was now resting calmly gafnst
one of the huge dead machines.
In tone. or unusual gravity Rob-
erts addressed them. Boys" he be-
