One afternoon everybody was out and
Nick was shut up in the sitting-room.
He never had disturbed anything and
no thought was given to his doing so
that day. But the sight that met their
eyes when they opened the door set
tied Nick's fate. He had taken every
picture from the wall and the paper he
had pulled of in strips. He began to
chatter as soon as the door was opened
and tried to run out but Austin caught
him and put him in his cage, where he
cried like child all night.
The next day belt was put around
his waist with a chain attached to II
and he was fastened TO a tree In the
yard. Mrs. Burton declared he should

tricks even then. One Monday Nick
watched her pinning the clothes TO
the line, and when she went into the
house he found the length Of the chain
would enable him to reach one stretch
of the line.
He climbed up the post and ran along
the line, pulling out the pins as he went
and throwing them to the ground, then
he ran up the tree again taking the
pins with him. -
Maggie soon discovered what he had
done and she came out to pick up the
clothes. scolding as she put them into
the basket. I'VE bithering IDIOT" she
said. II wish i could jist lay me two

say more. for Nick began throwing the
pins at her thick and fast. I'll not live
another day in the same house with that
son o. satan" she told Mrs. Burton.
Nick was put into his cage, but BY
Saturday he had created such a dis
turbance that II was decided to take
him on Monday to an animal store to
be cared for until Captain Burton re-
turned.
Nick seemed to realize IL would be his
last chance at Maggie, and on Sunday
morning when she came down dressed
for early church she went under his

He WOULD WAIT

Satan, sure he is,'' Maggie would say,
shaking her clenched fist at Nick. But
Nick would look soberly at his plate
and never glance toward the angry
Maggie.
If he found a paper or a book with
colored pictures he would look at them
and throw back his head with his mouth
opened as though he were laughing.
Captain Burton said that Nick was
initiating the sailors looking at the fun
ny papers. II he found a letter, and
he knew one when he saw 1t, he would
go into a corner by himself and look
at II as though he were reading it. Then
he would hold II in his hand and sit
very still as though he were thinking.
and after a while he would draw the
back of his hand across his eyes
He watched the sailors read their let
tiers from home. and the thoughts of
home and the dear ones brought tears
to their eyes.
Nick behaved so well that Mrs Burton
consented. to let the children keep him.
But as soon as Captain Burton went on
a voyage. Nick changed from a well-be-
haved monkey to a very mischievouS
one. Poor Maggie's life was made I'M
bearable. One day, as she went into the
dinipg-room with a dish OF stewed
prunes, Nick reached down from the
door frame and took a handful and ran
away chattering and dripping the fruit
as he went. "Ye long-tiled imy." said
Maggie. 81 hope We choke"
Nick kept out of her reach for the
rest Of the day. But the next morning
when she was mixing batter for cakes
Nick waited his chance and when her
back was turned he jumped through the
window and began to stir the batter.
Maggie saw him and started toward
the table. but before she could reach
him. Nick lifted the spoon and brought

Jelly Made of Rhubarb
A Reward of Merit"

Even with house cleaning in prospect,
good things to eat still have power to
charm and possibly aid in keeping the
assistant cohorts in good mental trim.
AS reward of merit try these home
made candies and this most excellent
rhubarb jelly. For the latter wash the
rhubarb; drain it we'll, but do not peel
II, IL you wish your jelly to have fine
color. Simply cut II into small pieces
and never mind II II be stringy. To
every pound of rhubarb add half a cup
of water and let II stew slowly in a
granite or porcelain pan until the fruit
is all In shreds. Then strain It through
a cheesecloth and press out all the
juice. Let the juice stand till the next
day. then carefully pour 1t off from the
sediment. Measure the juice and allow
one pint of sugar to one pint of juice.
Let the juice simmer ten minutes or
until II begins to thicken on the edge
of the pan: then add the sugar, which
has been kept hot in the oven, and let
the mixture simmer until II jellies on
the spoon or when dropped on cold
plate. Remove the scum carefully as
it forms. and when ready pour the jelly
into glasses which have been rolled in
a shallow pan OF hot water and are
still standing in II. When the jelly is
cold and firm pour melted paraffin over
the top. Cover with paper and keep 1t
in a dark room.

Sour C1aret Excellent
as a Complexion Wash

Sour claret is said to be an excellent
thing for the complexion. and II bids
fair TO be the last thing to baths for the
woman who Is fond of fads.
The wine bath stimulates the skin,
but so few women ere able to indulge In
such extravaganza that is not likely to
be popular: spOnging the face in wine
Is not so expensive, and its benefits are
so. evident that many women will fol-

Different kinds of wine may be used
for the complexion, either white or red
and sour Claret Is especially beneficial.
The wine should be applied with a
sponge or dabbed on the skin with a
soft towel. 1t acts as a strong tonic,
and can be used as such instead of a
made-up mixture.
