So, after setting up tho poles and sheets
again and lighting the candles In the
Jack-o-lanterns, they stuck them in the
ground 50 that the Monkcy-men would
be afraid to come back. and the boys
started TO take the great news TO camp.

"at least ! think see my way clear"
Suds and Nougat reached the camp
safely and after waking up Marshmallow
told her what they had been doing and
delivered the message Of the Mysterious
Night
Marshmallow boxed their ears first
and then sat down 10 think II over. It's

called the boys to her. She gave them a
good scolding, and after telling them that
# they mentioned the events Of the even
Log TO single soul before she gave them
leave she would send them straight home,
bade them lead the way to the caves.
The boys promised. and leaving the
camp without being seen. they soon
reached the home of the Monkey-men
and found the Mysterious Night sitting
between the two Jack-o-lanterns listen
ing TO the scolding of the Monkey-men I'm

them. and after thanking Marshmallow
for coming so promptly, led her a short
distance away where they could talk

out Monkey men, Monkey-women and
Monkey-c hildren-crying> screaming and
chattering with fright at sight of these
fearsome objects
Nougat and Suds were startled them
selves at the hubbub they had created,
but when they saw the Monkey-people
rushing up the rocks and behind trees
and always away from them they became
bold and marched straight ahead.
Now the Squince, in the guest cave.
had been awakened by the noise and an
outside TO see what was the matter. II
would be hard TO say who was the most
surprised-the Squince when he saw the
white forms or Nougat and Suds when
they saw the figure In armor running
toward them.
Suds was so taken aback that he
dropped the pole and his head crashed
to the ground and disappeared-or so it
seemed to the Squince.
Nougat was drawer and danced about
and said "Boor' but the squince had
recognized Suds in the moonlight and
refused to be driven away.
What are you doing here?' he de-
manded in stern voice.
The boys, Of course, did not realize that
this was the Squince, and they thought
he must be the Chief Of the Monkey
men.
Nougat lowered his pole and came out
from beneath the sheet, and both boys
began TO cry.
Answer me-" said the Squince. What
are you both doing here?"
"T-t-rying TO scare the M-m-onkey-
men," suffered Suds.
But where did you come FROM" per-
sisted the Squince.
From the camp-over there" said
Nougat
The Squnce saw that something had
happened that he did not know about, and
he began to question the boys carefully

rIIEGIBLE WRITING IS SELF
ISH.

In the last two or three generations
the COOKBOOK has come and gone and
come again in various styles, teaching
first one and then another kind Of writ
ing. There was a time when nearly
every one wrote in the same way. Now
It seems to be the fashion for each per-
son to write In his own way. And, be-
sides. it seems to be current idea that
q vague and peculiar handwriting de-
notes a certain subtlety Of character
and proves that one has depth, etc.
This Is an absolutely foolish notion--in
fact, IL is more than this; it is really
FALSE notion. Can you not picture
person receiving letter and struggling
over It painfully TO decipher one word
after another? Think Of the time vast
ed, and think, too, Of the pleasure one
gets from letter that is easily read?
Puzzles have their places, but decidedly
not in ones correspondence.
Moreover. good penmanship has com
mercial as well as labor saving value
For in spite of the number of typists
and typewriters ones handwriting will
always be a key TO ones real calibre.
one cannot help adopting an individ-
nal style-as it is an unconscious act;
but don't let your style get conscious.
See to ii. above all things, that it is,
however, consciously legible.
After all, it is an act Of politeness
to write distinctly and fits in with Mat
thew Arnolds statement. "Politeness IS
'to do and say the kindest thing in the
"kindest way"

REAL REPRODUCTIONS.

How many young people who read
this page read the dedication, preface,
introduction or title page with the au-
thor's name and publishers when a new
book Is given them to read? 1t has
been said that to read book without
first reading the few pages preceding
the story is like meeting person whose
name you do not know or whose eyes
Won cannot see or whose dwelling place
is unheard of. And it really is just
that. In short, it is like plUnging into
conversation with a person you do not
know and to whom you do not know
what to say and whose sayings you
cannot understand.
For example, if you meet a person
from somewhere or other whose name
or country you DO not know, and this
person should begin Immediately by
saving, "The clark Clerk Of that es-
Establishment is very able" you might
think that he meant "Mr. Clark, Of the
firm Of Clark & Co, was very able.
But when you know that this person IS
English and when you realize that his
pronunciation clark" is our word for
"clerk," then the real meaning dawns
upon you. This. Of course, is minor
matter, but it illustrates the point
On the other hand, if you have book
and start 10 read 1t without knowing
its origin, you are just as much In the
dark as to what 1t means TO convey 70
Won. because there are often references
TO things end opinions which only can
be explained by knowing something OF
the author and the publisher. This Is
true Of the lighter kind Of book. hut es-
pecislly so of the serious book. If You
have q book, let us say, "The Game OF
Football" you would naturally say
"Iet me see who wrote it. Oh, yes; he
IS an Englishman and perhaps this Is
Rugby and not the American game
modified Association)." Then you
might look at the. publishers name.
eyes. this without doubt is an English
book and deals with the English game.
Then you begin to read it and it turns
ont 10 be Rugby, and YOU are therefore
well aware of what the author is writ
ing, and you have had a head start as
to the meaning.
On the other hand. had you read it
without properly introducing it to your
self you might have been very confused
and really not have known until you
had puzzled It ont what YOU were really
reading. This would have logged your
mind and the good points might not
have been so clear to you because you
were trying all the time to adjust the
English rules to the American.
The date of publication Is neces-
sarv to know. too, because then you
will know if it is the last or first
word on the subject Of the book.
Thus you can see that you really owe
q debt TO the author and publisher to
at least know something of what is put
in the title and PREDATORY pages. These
pages would never have been printed In
the book if they were unnecessary.
Have you ever stopped to think Of the
expense of using and printing an extra
mage for an edition Of several thou
sand books?
Finally, it is only an intelligent and
scholarly attitude TO know about the
book you are going to read--to be for
mally introduced, as il were. It is just
as practical a thing as entering a house
BY the front door rather than by win
dow or by the back door,
