CROSS STITCH.
Some Hints For Making This Simple

Some Hints For Making This Simple
Yet Effective Embroidery.
Cross stitching may be done on can

Of meaning for the worker who wishes
to lessen or increase q pattern with
out harming the symmetry Of the de-
sign.
The stitches must, Of course, be
counted on the material itself and on
the printed pattern. but by making
due allowance for greater or less
coarssness In the canvas the above eff
fects can be obtained.
A blunt pointed rug needle and mer-
cer1zed cotton, which can be doubled
when the pattern demands 1t, are the
best implements to employ.
OF course a great deal OF the at
Effectiveness Of this work depends
upon the color effects, due to the color

icer fell with a bullet through his
brain. 1t was all over in half a min
ute. Captain Phelan was dead, and
his eight men, including the engineer
and steersman, were helpless prison
ers on their own deck. The element
Of surprise had played even a greater
part In this brief tragedy than the
commissioner had expected. Alfonso
Payton had begun to turn the tables on
his foes with his usual elan. But as
yet he had by nc means finished the
job.
Aboard" he commanded sharply.
His men sprang upon the Chameleon,
and she was away in a fash. Running
low again, she headed down the river
for a second piece of woods, where an
other of the hidden aeros foated
among the treetops. Here a similar
scene was enacted. Even more utter

comrades, these policemen were taking
an early breakfast. Some Of them
were knocked over with the cups in
their hands.
Captain Billings, their commander,
was seized from behind by Payton be-
fore he even knew that an enemy was
aboard. Not a man had a weapon
ready, and not a shot was fired. The
captiyes were gagged and bound Ike
the others, and the Chameleon was of
again for her third victim, on the north
side Of the river.
This time there was a fight, but a
most unequal one. because the surprise
was virtually as complete as in the
first two cases. The Chameleon had
indeed been seen a quarter of a minute
before the attack, but unluekily she
was mistaken by Captain Campbell for
one of his consorts, and while he was
beating his brains to understand what
she wanted there Payton and his men
leaped aboard almost unopposed.
Even then Campbell probably never
comprehended that 1t was the famous
Sky Pirate who had attacked him.
He had no time to think Of anything
except the fact there was an attack,
and, having his pistol IN his hand, he
shot the first man who put his foot
on his deck.
Immediately a bullet passed through
his own hear. His men rallied gal
lantly, but only three Of them sue
ceeded IN Cutting hold Of their weap-
ons.
