keep out the mosquitoes. The front sec
ton Of the cottage instead of being per.
fectly square. like the other sides, goes
up into a point. This effect is produced
| by an additional strip of wood cut out in
peaks along the upper side.
The school house is made of the same
sort Of three sided screen. covered with
red burlap. To make the structure look
like bricks white paint or crayon is used
to make the lines of mortar on the red
burlap. so that it looks as if made entire
~ of the red bricks. The middle section
Of this screen has a wooden strip put
across the front, and on this are erected
TWO strips of wood. so that with the base
they form triangle. From the peak of
this triangle is suspended the school house
bell. This little red brick school house is
just as patriotic as the largest and hand
soonest school house in the world. II has
little flagstaff fastened above the door
from which floats the American flag. The
school house has a blackboard inside m
one OF the side walls This screen bouse
can be fitted up with little desk or
teachers table and bench for the pupils.
Inc log cabin screen is of gray canvas,
with a streak of dull purple and dark
brown paint TO represent the VARYING
coiors of wood on an old log cabin. The
door is also of the canvas.
The grocery store Is the most elaborate
ly furnished of all the screen houses. The
front of the store is cut away and a
wooden counter, which can be put direct
ly under the opening. is a part of the
loutht of the store. The counter has q
weighing scales and scoops for sugar, &c.
Inside the house on one of the walls a
set of shelves is hung up en- which are
kept many package groceries. 1t is great
fun to keep the store and make up pack
ages. Every one can get from the kitchen
any number of packages, boxes of all
shapes and sizes, &C., in which various
spices, teas, condiments and other gro
ceries have been delivered. The grocery
screen is of brown canvas, and on the
front wall are painted all sorts of adver-
tisements Of groceries. These are exact
reproductions of well known advertise
ments.
The screens that have Deen described
are very carefully made and are one of
the most attractive features of a large
toy shop, but ingenious boys and girls
who wish to make something very at
tractive for Christmas gift for their
younger brothers and sisters will find it
very interesting indeed to try their skill
at making the screen houses. Although
canvas and burlap are used for those de-
scribed it would be possible to make the
frames for the screens of strips of wood
and cover them with heavy paper, some
of which comes already marked in brick
patterns, lattice patterns, &C. Those
who wish to make the cover for the
screen of plain material and cannot paint
or draw sufficiently well to decorate the
walls can produce very good results by
using vines and flowers cut from wall
paper.

she couldn't afford to lose those chickens.

Walter was given the choice of routes be-

he could take any one of four directions
at Five Forks, as the roads left the turn

next Saturday afternoon was fixed for the
race, and the two competitors spent the
rest of the week grooming their strange
chariots for the great test of dog power
versus sky power.
The start was most imposing. A spark
I,g day of crisp sunshine and a strong,
steady wind of high velocity made the con-
ditiops OF travel ideal, especially for Wal
ter. A starting circle instead OF line was
drawn in the exact spot where the five
roads inte-sected one another. Walter,
whose kites were now in the air, solemn

the crowd anxiously waited to hear.

Most boys age familiar with some
form of dog driven vehicle. but Pliny's
advance model was quite differe t from
the usual type. as the drawing shows. For
the two-dog power canine engine from
which it derived its fashionable double
name was l,laced in the rear instead of
the front, as the young auto constructor
figured that the two fine Newfoundlands
could exert more pull" with the special
" constructed strap harness.
But Pliny's Carlo-Royer triumph didn't
last long.
TIL next morning he had to more than
divide honors with a new entry in the
field of freak auto construction. Pliny
had scarcely arrived wheI a shout went
up. All those gathered around the Carlo
Rover deserted it to welcome the grand
entrance of Walter Armstrong; spectacu-

proudly airing his Latin.
And it did look as if Walters auto was
"sWeller than Pliny's, particularly after
this Latin explanation. Poor PIny felt
very mad and Inundated after Walter
had hen gone the length of making all
sorts Of fun Of Pliny's mutt auto" and
suggested he might get more power if he
tiled a couple of tin cans to the canine
motor" This was not nice at all, and it
nled Pfny, who, however, managed to
keep s temper and carefully examine
the rival machine.
It was truly 'land and sky chariot.
The land part consisted Of four wheeled

the front was built the connecting mech
anism with the aerial motors. This was
large reel or spool set in couple of up
right supports and turned by a crank at
tached to its axle. On this reel was wound
the heavy clothesline to which the two
giant box kites were attached. These kites
were enormous in size, so large they had
pulling power equal to a pony, and in q
fresh wind would pull the chariot along
lat a great clip. And it was fine spec
:tacle to watch them whizZ their driver
down the road nearly as fast as horse
Icould run.
1t was an ideal day for the Ter-a-Aero's
trial trip. The. strong wind held god ali

grandly embarked for home behind his
aerial steeds, the wind having kindly shift
ed about SO he could turn hack home.
THAI was the Terra-Aero's one drawback.
She had to go in the direction Of the wind
if she wanted to get anywhere.
Pliny watched Walter launch his kites
into the air, assisted By admiring school
mates. Ther Walter c!imbe- into his

Walter sailed for home, followed by the
whole school. He soon distanced his rae

this he knew that i; was Walters idea to
challenge him for a race. He was not
afraid to race Walter, but first wished
TO get line" on Walters new auto. If
the odds were not too great Pliny meant to
challenge him that afternoon.
And that afternoon PIiny challenged
Walter Armstrong to race his Terra-Aero
against Pliny's Carlo Rover.
The whole school looked on while the
two wrangled over the conditions. Finally
this agreement was reduced to writing. 1t
recited the usual challenge, &c, and then
called for the following conditions -
1.-The race is to start from the point
known as Five FORKS.
