Oklahoma City, March 4.--Repalrs

for yard and terminal Improvements,
while an aggregate of two million
dollars will be expended in the cree

other million, and in addition there
are the bridge work operations of the
other railroads. The Fort Smith and

CHAPTER II.
CHARLES THEODORE AVERY.

CHARLES THEODORE AVERY.
~ HIS would not be a story worth
reading if there was not boy
in it; and so we must begin right
now with Charles Theodore
Avery. He was seven years
old, and he lived in a great big
house that stood surrounded on three sides
by splendid garden.
The back of the house came close to a
high, vine covered wall; but if you stood
at the second story windows you could
peep over the wall and look down upon a
common street"
Angelina, Charles Theodore's nurse, re-
scented this very much. She did not like
common things, but Theodore loved them
There were common people" on the
common street." and they were always
doing unusual things. They all seemed
to be so free and always going some

least, he never did anything he wanted

were ready TO begin work.
First we laid two barrels end to end

HOW TO MAKE OAK LEAF BOOK MARKERS
AND CHAPLETS OF LEAVES

VTHEN you are away in the country
w this summer, then is your chance to
find some oak leaves and have the
fun of making some pretty book marks
that you may give to your friends when
you return home from your trip.
The book marks are nothing more than
oak leaves from which all the fiber has
been removed so that only the delicate
veining of the leaf is left in dainty lace
pattern. Upon this you may paste some
pretty embossed picture.
The book marks are novel and make
pretty souvenirs of your summer. To
make them you will first need to gather a
dozen large oak leaves. Be sure to find
those that are firm and green.
Place these to soak over night in bowl
of cold water.
In the morning, find strip of soft
white cotton cloth and tear it into halves
Double one half and tie IT over the bristlesi
of a soft hair brush.
fAce one Oh tne OAK leaves upon blot
ter and cover ..s;lover it put the other piece
of white cotton cloth. Then gently pat the
leaf with the hair brush few times till
it is dry, and remove the white cotton
cloth from the brush.
Continue to pat the leaf till the green
pulp has come out and colored the white
cotton cloth. Change the cloth as often
as you find necessary till all the pulp is
out of the leaf and only the beautiful
skeleton veining remains.
Place each leaf, as it is finished, be-
tween blotters and let each dry fat.
Leave the leaves under weight a day
and then take them out and paste some
pretty embossed picture upon the face
Of the leaf. q You will be surprised to

Charles Theodore Avery, come down -
she commanded. Now say, Because 1 am
not q gentleman.' What would Madame
say to such language? And beg my pardon
at once for that face, or to the closet you
gow
The window was open and, as poor
Charles Theodore had no intention of beg
ging Angelina's pardon, he snatched up
the fire engine as he was being dragged
to the closet and sent it hurtling over the
wall and into the street beyond! They
heard it crash upon the pavement and
be was glad of it.
The darkness and the stiffness of the
closet Gained him. He was glad to have
Angelina out of sight. and it was a good
place to plan running away. More and
more he was determined to find his grand
father and have it out with him.
After a sufficiently long time Teddy
opened the closet door and sailed forth
Angelina was very silly. She always
thought Teddy stayed in the closet-she
thought shutting naughty boys in the
closet very scientifc-but Teddy always
came forth when he wanted to and ran
back when he heard his jailer returning.
Teddy strolled to the open window and
looked drearily out.
1t was a drizzly, mean kind Of day, and

she reached the opposite side of the mar
row street From there she pointed the
tiny rubber hose right up toward the
window where Teddy stood.
I'll put you out" she screamed. Don't
you be frightened; I'll put you out"'
For a moment Teddy did not know
what she meant: then, because way down
in his lonely little heart he was a real
boy. he laughed and called back
"All right. Wait, I'll throw more
things"
This he proceeded TO do. Out went the
fve-dollar lamb which bleated so real
istically: next box OF handsome blocks
followed and were scattered, some in the
yard and some in the street. An electrical
machine was raised 10 take its turn, while

and then she said =

So Teddy was put to bed and Doctor
Meredith came and looked wise. ordered
medicine and quiet, and finally Teddy was
left with nothing to keep him company
but the thought of the Bouncer
At FIVE O'Clock Angelina came silently
into the room and offered a cool drink
Teddy accepted this and. without thank
ing Angelina, fell to sleep. Then it was
that he saw a doorway before him. and
over the doorway these words The
House of the Bouncer." Queer as il may
seem. although Teddy could not read well
be knew those words at a glance
Cold shivers ran over him-he was in
for it now. although he had said never

but with horror he realized that he was
in his pajamas and there were no pockets,
Then he tried TO whistle, but his lips
were stiff and unmusical. Alone in the
land of the Bouncer, he must see the
thing through. The door was swaying
inward-swaying for him, and Teddy
marched on. 1t was a great empty house
inside and fearfuHy. terribly still, Pres
emily something happened, 4 damaged
rire engine hobbled in; then other toys in
more or less crippled state. They were
alive and could speak, and this is what
they said -

How can II" whispered Teddy from
his quaking depths.
'Ha. ha! You know how to smash us;

This was dreadful And all at once
Teddy knew that in the Bouncers house
all his misdeeds were alive and ready
for him. In they came. The face ne
had made at Angelina! He shrieked
aloud at that. And the "won'ts" and
'shan'ts' went hurtling around like
brickbats. Teddy lodged them, but they
kept him busy.
Then from out of this mad confusion 8
merry voice called to him: he looked UP.
There at the door stood the little girl of
the common back street. Teddy was
never going to forget that sweet face;

Bouncer's house. for then when you

Then Teddy woke up and he was hot
and trembling. but the calm moon was
shining in and il cooled and comforted
him. Quietly he slipped from the bed
and ran 10 the back windows of his other
room The common street was empty and
still-no radiant little maiden sat upon

When this is finished you may begin to

Press a bit of twig through both leaves

find how pretty the finished leaves are.
They make very attractive little gifts
TO send away in letters, and many of your
friends will, I am sure, enjoy having
such useful as well as dainty little
remembrance.
Would you like to know how to make a
garland of leaves when you are in the
woods playing this summer? 1t is really
very easy thing to do, and it is just
the right kind of play for warm sum-
mer day.
From the lo-' branches of the trees
gather a handful of twigs with leaves.
Long, slender leaves that are somewhat
heavy are better to use than those that
are broad or delicate.
Strip the leaves from the twigs, pIac-
ing the leaves in one small pile and the
twigs in another
Break the twigs, after this. in small
sections about an inch and half each.
