SYNOPSIS OF FORMER CHAPTERS.


Bert Bryant arrives at Mount Pleasant Acad-
eny, He meets Nan Merton, daughter Of the
school principal. He finds that he is to be one Of
the school juniors, and therefore expected to
''shaek" for the seniors and upper middlers- As
soon as Bert becomes Benson Holders roommate
the older boy begins at once to demand a great
many small services from the Junior.
TIE older boys demand 20 much waiting on
from the juniors that at last Bert decides to
lead a revolt, and the four younger boys post a
PROCLAMATION in which they declare their indie
Pendence Of the older boys and vow that they
viii never go on their errands or wait on them
again.
The mutineers carry out their intention snd
seTersuy refuse to wait On the older boys. Final
~ the seniors order the juniors and lower mid
Hers to spend an evening in getting the school
tohogsan slide ready. II has always been the
custom in the school for the younger boys to do
all the work on the slide. This year. however,
the junior boys absolutely refuse to work on the
slide unless the seniors help. The upper grade
boys decide At last that they will fl the slide
themselves, but that the juniors shah not be al
lowed to use the slide at all.
The four younger boys. with the assistance OF
Nan, form a secret society, which they name
The Junior -Four. The object is mutual help and
protection, and they select as their password,
''one for all and all for one" Bert Bryant is
made president Of the society and Nan becomes
an honorary member.

Mice That Work in a Colliery.

IN I'D you ever hear of a mouse colliery,
where hundreds of mice work a. dill
gently as human beings? They seem
to like work, too, for the colliery is so
arranged that if the mice didn't like work
they could stop altogether and spend all
of their time in sleep.
There is such a colliery in existence,
and it was made by two men who them
selves had worked in collieries all their
lives, so that when they happened to get
family of white mice for pets it oc-
CURED to them that it would be very in
teresting to have the mice become miners
also.
So they built a wonderful miniature
colliery for their white mice, which had
now increased 10 a very large number in
deed. All the mechanism of the colliery
is worked by the mice. This has been
arranged by attaching the mechanism to
two large wheels, which the mice climb
continually. This makes the wheels re-
volve, and one wheel controls all the work
at the pithead, while all the coal cutting
machinery is set going by the wheel at
the other side.
When it is time for the mice to 20 home
from work the colliery is particularly in
teresting, for then all the tiny miners
leave the huge wheels and march down
into the house part Of the structure Then
the mice that have been sleeping come on
duty.
Then when it is time to 60 to work
again the mice come back, the troop that
have been working the coal cutting wheel
changing to the other wheel and the other
division of mice taking the pithead wheel.
There are three hundred mice in the col
Iiery, all Of them descendants of the origi-
nal pair which the two miners bought for
pets.

Il don't know guess so. It's alright,
though; don't mind staying here"
Don't you worry" cried I.anny; well
get you out"
They hurried into the house and up
stairs. The second floor was deserted.
Every key they could lay their hands on
was tried, but none fitted. From beyond
the door Small begged them not to trouble,
assuring them that he was quite resigned.
''One for all and all for oner' cried
Lanny, undiscouraged. Keep up your
courage. Well get ladder"
Bully !" said Bert
But / don't want began Small. II
was quite lost, however, for the others
were already half way downsthe stairs.
Luckily the room was on the back of the
house, out of sight of the rink, although
it is probable that Waters was much too
busy playing hockey to notice what might
be happening at the house. 1t was only
a minutes work to carry the long ladder
from the basement and set it up outside
Smal's window, one end in a rhododendron
clump and the other against the sill. Small
viewed it doubtfully.

stead Of closing the window he disap
peared into the room and was gone several
minutes. Finally be came out again. drew
the window shut and slid down the ladder.
Il left the Sign Of the Four" be explained,
grinning. At that moment Small and Kid
returned, evidently reconciIed, and the
FIVE went back to the creek to resume their
skating. When an hour or so later Wat
ers. who had quite forgotten the prisoner,
tried to open his room door and found Il
locked he was much surprised until he re-
called the earlier events. Then. little
conscience stricken, he unlocked the door
and entered the darkened room.
Find that strap yet, Small:" he asked,
grufiy.
There was no answer and Waters Lit
the gas and gazed in bewilderment
about the apartment. Then he looked I'M
der both beds and in the closet, declaring
in loud voice that Small might as well
come out of that now" because he knew
just where he was. But Small didn't ap-
pear, and Waters, passing the study table.
caught sight Of a sheet of paper. On it
was what was evidently intended for a
skull an crossbones, and under that was
printed
''One for all and all for oner'

debated with himself minute and finally
disappeared in search of a sweater ana
cap.
You fellows make me tired" be
growled when he returned to the window.
why can't you let me alone? l don't
want 10 be rescued. / don't want TO 80

Cut out the regrets and hurry the
job" advised Lanny.
Small cautiously climbed over the sill
and set one foot tentatively on the ladder.
Then he looked down. 1t seemed an aw-
fully long way TO the ground. Some one
hold it," he grumbled. Lanny and Nan
obeyed. Small tried the second rung,
found that it held and that he was still
alive, and esssyed the third. His head
was below the window sill now and the
rescue was progressing famously. At that
instant Kid hardened TO the voice of the

shot, his feet waving wildly and his arms
wrapped around the sides. He reached
the ground in heap. Bert hurried to
him and picked him up.
Are you hurt, Small;" he asked anx-
iously.
Il don't know" answered Small weakly,
feeling himself over.
"0h, I'm so sorry" cried Nan.
Small, very white of face, concluded
that no harm had been done. Then his
eyes fell on Kid. That irrepressible youth
was seated in the middle of clump OF
rhododendrons. doubled over with laugh
ter.
1T was all his fault" cried Small as he
dashed at Kid. But Kid recovered very
suddenly and rolled and scrambled out
at the other side Of the shrubs just as
Small came crashing through. Then en-
sued a race that presently took pursued
and pursuer out of sight around the
building.
Its lucky he didn't hurt himself" said
Bert, laughing. Il say, he left the win
dow open. The room will be as cold as
Greenland when Waters gets back"
''And serve him right" said Lanny.
Couldn't you go up and close it?"
asked Nan.

ladder. When he reached the top, in

have two camers-hair brushes, the 6nes
point for the outlines and a larger point
for filing in work. Whatever paints yOI
use, only moisten the brushes and rub well
on the colors used, then the eggs will not
have a dauby appearance. Wait till each
color dries thoroughly before adding an
other. Try and select odd shaped eggs
which will help to give different express
sions. Use white eggs for the watermelon,
colored faces, potatoes and football,
brown eggs for the Cinnamon, Jsps or
Indians. To make the colored faces out
line the eyes and mouth with sepia brown.
After this dries fill in the face or cover
the whole egg with the same color, using
a little more water on the brush. When
dry. go over the outlines again with sepia
and add black for the hair. You can
make any style or expression TO suit your
fancy. If the eggs are to be played with,
il is best 10 boil them first.

door after him and pocketing the key.
Left imprisoned, Small merely grinned
and shrugged his shoulders. He had
promised to go skating on the creek with
the other juniors and Nan, but he much
preferred a warm room and a book TO
read. Ten minutes later, his feet on the
radiator and rafting good story before
him, Small had quite forgotten Waters,
his Imprisonment, the cause and all else.
Half an hour passed unheeded, and then
voices called from outside
Small! Oh, you SMALL"
Small, unheeding, read on. The hero
was cutting his way through the tropical
jungle of Africa closely pursued by q
band of head hunters.
Small! Where are you, SmalI?'
This time Small heard and looked out
the window. Underneath in the snow
stood Bert and La .ly, come in search of
him. Small opened the window.
Hello ~ he said. az can't come out.
Waters has locked me in"
Bert and Lanny thrilled. Here was war
TO the knife.
Did he take the key? asked Bert.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-31

81 was just warning him." muttered
Kid. ''Of course. if you fellows want to
see him fall and hurt himself all right.
But don't want aPy mans blood on my
soul. r.
Shut up" yelled Lanny. Come on
down, Small; it's perfectly safe.
1T is, is it," chartered Small. Then
what's he talk that way for? I'll l-Llick
him when I g-g-get down."
You ought to be ashamed, Kid" remon-
strated Nan. How would you like it
if
But at that moment Small put the
weight Of one foot on the rung, there was
"a slight creak, he gave a cry of fright, tried
to take his foot of again and scramble up
the ladder and then lost his footing en-
tirely.
Look outr' yelled Bert. Lanny and
Nan jumped aside and Small, yelling
Justify, came down the ladder like a
