wv len a dolls hair has been worn
w way around her forehead so that
1t is no longer pretty it is a good
plan to put a narrow band Of velvet or
satin ribbon around the forehead to con-
ceal the worn parts. The ends are fas-
tened in the back with a little pin. The
hair is puffed above this and made up
lin a knot on the back Of the head. If
the dolls hair has been entirely spoiled
she will have TO wear caps. Just now
lit is very fashionable to have a num-
Der of these caps, some for morning
and some for evening wear. The morning
caps are called boudoir caps. and those
meant for evening wear are called theatre
caps. The caps are made of fine white
material, net or chiffon, and they are ex-
actly like the caps that real people are
now wearing. There is a full crown and
a rufie of lace around the face. Small
Ho"eis anu HttIe oO"s oL TlOOon are used
TO decorate the caps. They may also be
made of gold brocade or gold gauze over a
colored silk lining.
If you have new dolls whose hair is
very pretty it is best not TO brush it too
hard. The real hair can be brushed with
out hurting it. but you must use a soft
brush and work gently. For evening
wear the doll should have a twist of gold
ribbon around the hair or colored ribbon
or a little wreath of flowers, that is, if
she is not TO wear a theatre cap.

II was mile away, flying straight above
the South road in the direction toward
which the arrows pointed.
"He won't 90 wrong now! Three cheers
for the great stone arrows!" yelled PIiny.
and then the onlookers understood the Sc
cret Of the arrows at last. When the
noise and cheering was finally over Pliny
revealed the contents of that mysterious
telegram he had received yesterday. Il
was addressed to Pliny.

GEORGE ROGERS
Perhaps you remember reading how the
Quicks saved George Rogers life last
winter BY picking him up in their iceboat
on North Bay. They had always re-
mained great friends, and this was the
outcome. PIiny now read part of letter
from the famous aviator which made
things clearer
I'm to race in the Tri-State contest
next month. Have secretly worked out a
'cut-of which will save me over eighty
miles if can hit the right road in Oak
dale valley. But fits tangled up in Five
Forks. ! want to go south above the
South road III have to stay up over
fifteen hundred feet to avoid the nasty
air currents in the narrow valley, so want
you to signal me which road to take"
Well" concluded Piiny after finishing
the letter. II had just read about the
aviator's great stone arrow, built on the
cliffs OF Dover, England, which points
exactly toward Calais, across the Chan
mel, in France. So it was a cinch to build
that great stone arrow at Five Forksr'

;ell the secret of the great stone arrow.
Well, if you won't tell guess We won't
stop! Go ahead. boys!" answered Walter
stubbornly, nodding to the others to 20 on
with their woSk.
Austen and Pliny were angry. but there
was no way to stop the Armstrong crowd.
so they had to content themselves with
adding the stone feathers" TO the tail Of
the arrow, and thus completing II, while
waters gang worked doggedIy to parallel
and duplicate their work with their own
stone arrow.
VI course, this second arrow famed the
names OF curiosity. Nothing was talked
Of at school but the great stone arrows.
numerous guesses were made as to PIiny's
secret object in erecting such a strange
monument. But Pliny and his brothers
only continued to smile and keep still.
walter Armstrong finished his duplicate
arrow day or two after Pliny's was COM
Pieted, and then kept on wondering what
II was all about and what was going to
happen and how his arrow was going to
queer Pliny's. In fact, he rather ma
lciously hoped it would. But three days
passed and not one thing happened!
On the third day PIiny met Walter in
the schoolyard and pulled a folded yellow
paper from his pocket. The other pupils
crowded around, expecting PIiny would
now surely tell them something. They
could all see the folded paper was tele-
gram. However, Pliny only grinned in
the most eIasperating manner.
Walter, your cheap imitation arrow
won't queer US a bit-according to this ~
and he waved the telegram under Walters
nose. Walter made frantic grab for it.
but Pliny jumped aside and tucked II
safely away In his pocket. Every one
ciamored for an explanation. but PIiuy
only grinned again.
DO you really want 10 know what tn.

Yes! Tell us! Let up on all that nyr

swered, and nothing could induce PIipy TO
add another word.
The next afternoon witnessed a grand
rush for Five Forks by the whole school.
and most OF the teachers, too. For that
mysterious stone arrow had become A
source Of tremendous curiosity to all who
heard Of il. Everybody perched on the
fence alongside the road and began to
watch the two arrows. Every now and
then a cloud of dust would appear far of
down any one of the Eve roads. Then a
wave of excitement would result, only to
dwindle to disappointment. as some farm
er's automobile whizzed past and nothing
happened. ..
1t was noticed that Pliny carried a tels-
scope, while Austen consulted a watch
every few minutes. As time passed and
the crowd began to grow imaptient the
faces Of the Quick brothers grew longer.
An hour went by. The crowd, believing
it was being deceived, became more impa-
tient. Headed by Walter Armstrong the
larger boys confronted the QuickS.
Say, if you fellows are playing a trick
you're going to take a licking" he cried
angriIy, shaking his fist in their anxious
faces.
Were not playing any trick"- Pliny
was suddenly interrupted BY shout from
The Washington herald., 1912-01-07

Austen, who pointed toward the high
mountain range which hemmed in 0akdsle
Valley to the west. Pliuy never finished
his sentence, but clapped the telescope to
his eye.
"Can you make out anything?' cried
Austen, still pointing to a tiny black
speck Just visible over one of the noun
tain peaks. Pliny gazed intently for per
haps half a minute, then lowered his
telescope and shouted
"Hurray! Here it comes!'
''Who? What do you mean?'
Pliny turned to the crowd about him
and pointed again toward tie black speck.
Il mean that! Do you know what that
kY i
"Huhl That's nothin' but an eagle"
snorted Walter contemptuously.
You're sure? Just look through
this" and Pliny handed him the tel&
scope. Walter looked through it and
then almost dropped the telescope.
Boys" he said in an awed tone.
Boys. it's an aeroplaney There was
free fight for the telescope on hearing
this sensational news. A terrific cheer
went up as they watched the black speck
grow larger, until they could finally make
out its dim outlines. And then it came
so close the sharp "ehug-chug" Of the
engine could be heard. 1t few at
terrific speed and remained at a great
height. staying almost at the altitude il
had reached in crossing the west range
Of mountains. The spectators shouted
to the aviator to come lower so they could
see him more plainly. Almost before they
could realize it the speeding biplane had
shot over them. passing directly above
the two stone arrows. In another minute

IN I'D you ever see Mr.. Frog or Mr..
~ Newt actually put on his new suit
Very few people have, although it is
such an interesting occurrence that al
most all boys and girls have tried more
than once to see it. But no one likes to
be surprised when arranging his necktie
or combing his hair, and it is just the
same with the frog and the newt when
they make their toilets. So they 90 as
far away as possible, and all that we
know about it is that when they next
appear they are wearing wonderfully
bright, fresh clothes in place Of their old,
dingy ones.
OF course, we have been told that these
wise, small creatures had on their new
clothes all the time underneath the old
ones and that al that they needed to do
was to get rid of their dingy clothes so
that their new ones could shine out re-
splendently.
But the frog mothers do not have to
pack away their children's clothes in
camphor when they are done with them
for the season. Neither do they have to-
call in the old clothes man or give the
cast-of garments to the missionary to-
send of to poor little children who will
be glad to get them even if they are
dingy. All the frogs and newts take
care Of their own cast-of garments, and
although we may search for them for
years we shall never find one of these
old suits in the grass where we know the
frogs have had their dressing rooms. For
the frogs and the nevis simply eat up
their old clothes when they want their
bright new clothes to show. It doesn't
sound like a dainty meal, but at least IL
is better than having a great number of
old frog and newt clothes scattered all
over everything.
The American Museum Of Natural
History, in New York city, has sent
many learned men to study the frog and
the newt to see how they change their

~ AkDALE Gramma School was
very much excited by the great
mystery of the Five Forks Fort,
as it was known at first.
What secret plan was being
carried out by General PHny
Quick and his three brothers? Walter
Armstrong and others of their rivals tried
awfully hard to find out, but in vain.
They made many secret trips out TO Five
Forks TO inspect that pile of stones,
which steadily grew through the week
until it became long, straight redoubt or
breastworks about three feet high, two
feet wide and thirty or forty feet long.
1t was built of whit stones from an
abandoned quarrv pit nea by, and
stretched its cleaning length parallel
with the South road, which disentangled
itself from the Five Forks cluster of high
ways and stretched due south. Perhaps
you have read Of Five Forks in another
story of this series. 1t is the crossing of
FIVE roads about a mile out of Oakdale
None of the roads cross AT a direct angle.
but fork out in five directions from a sort
Of hub. The spot is known all over this
section of the country as a landmark of
trayel.
On the fourth visit Walter and his
crowd made they were given surprise.
Why, it's au arrow" he exclaimed,
surveying the rapidly growing spearlike
head of the long white pile. But Pliny,
Austen and the other Quicks only laughed
mysteriously as they continued to throw
rock after rock upon the arrowhead until
they had built it up to the same level as
the long section.
What are you making that forT' de-
manded Walter for about the fftieth time
You'll find out if you watch carefully"
snickered Pliny.
We can play the same game as you.
though l don't know what it is 81 roared
Walter de6antly He was determined not
to let the Quicks get ahead of him, and
the mysterious building of this great stone
arrow was very irritating. SO now al
idea struck him. which at least might
bring him into the game" even If he
didn't know what it was. He called his
friends together, and then came the
QuiCks' turn 10 be astonished.
Hi, there. What do yo. think you're
doing" shouted Austen a bit later.
We're just going to show you 'smarties'
that you amt the only ones who can build
forts at Five Forks replied Walter as
he toted a rock up from the quarry and
flung it on the pile he and his aids were
industriously adding to.
Austen and the other Quicks hastily held

photographs showing exactly how it is
that Mr.. Frog takes off his old suit over
his head, while Mr.. American Newt
takes off his over his feet. When his old
shirt is almost off the Newt has to kick
vigorously because it gets entangled with
