THE HOMEMADE sKATE-sAiLs.

Skate sailing is one OF the most ex-
citing of winter sports, as any boy Will
tell you who has had the experience
and knows; and it is sport in which
any fair skater can become expert as
soon as he learns the proper handling
of his sail. OF course it Is necessary
to have slight knowledge Of sailing.
because the angle at which the sail Is
held to the wind must be adjusted for
every change in the direction Of sail
Ing. The sail is held between the
skater and the wind, at his back or
to one side, according to the direction
Of sailing and the direction of the
wind; and the skater preserves his
balance by throwing his weight
against the sail Gig. u. In order to
change the position Of the sail in
"tacking" against the wind, the skate
sailor swings dead into the wind, with
the wind full on the sail; this frees
the sail from his body. Then he quick
ly raises the sail, fiat, above his head,
and lowers it on the proper side to
carry him upon the opposite "tack."
When sailing before the wind, the
skater holds the sail squarely behind
him so that the wind pressure is equal
on all portions. To stop up, the
skater swings around facing the wind.
and lifts his sail, fiat, above his head.
AS the sail is not attached to the body,
the skater can let go Of 1t at any time
in case Of any emergency such as the
avoidance of a collision with another
skater, or a hole in the ice.
Skate-sails that fold are Of the most
convenient form both as regards car
rying to and from the place Of sailing,
and storing them at home. In the IL
Illustrations I have shown two common
forms of skate-sails, designed with q
special provision for folding COM
pactly.
Fig. 2 shows the plan of skate-sail
with "T' shaped framework. The
poles or "spars" can be made any
length that you wish to have them.
The long center spar or boom" Of the
sail shown in Fig. is nine feet long,
and the end cross spar is six feet long.
This makes q medium sized sail that
is about right for boy four feet six
inches or thereabout in height. Bam-
boo is best for the spars because OF its

comes along the cross spar may be
tackled to It, but 1t makes more ship
shape job to provide the sail either
with tapes or metal grommets, so 1t
may be dashed to the spar. The or
binary hook-and-eye eyes used by
dressmakers have been employed very
satisfactorily in place of grommets.
They are cheaper and more easily put
on. Sew a belt buckle, strap buckle,
or vest-buckle, to the corner Of the
sail which lays along the boom. and
tack piece Of strap with holes
punched through it to the free end of
the boom, with which to pull the sail
taut and buckle it in position.
The skate-sail with the framework
made in the form of an inverted letter
A. Gig. 81, is splendid type of fold
ing-sail. Fig. 6 shows the framework
folded, without the sail attached, and
Fig. Z shows the, framework extended.
The framework is best made Of square
poles on account of the hinge connec-
tions. 'sFurring-strips" will serve ex-
cellently. The two spars A and B Of
the framework are hinged together,
with the end Of A overlapping the end
Of B Gigs. and y. The hinge may
be fastened directly to both spars, but
1t is better to cut triangular block to
fasten one flap Of the hinge to. and
nail this to one spar, say spar A ID,

work will fold up more compactly

tween the ends of spars A and B.
Hinge one end to one spar, and nail a
metal plate with hole punched
through it to the other end Of the
spreader, as shown in Fig. 8. The
plate should project beyond the end
of the spreader, SO it will overlap the
spar, and hole must be bored
through the spar to receive nail for
pinning the spreader plate to it.
The sail should be made and fas.
tened to the spars in the manner de-
scribed for attaching the other sail,
and screw-eyes should be screwed into
the free ends of the spars to tie the
corners to.

was writing letters, while the discon-

Absent-mindedly, the girls dipped
into the box of bonbons between them.
Jean finished her correspondence and
essayed conversation, but her compan-
ions blond head was bowed over the
book in her lap, and the effort met
with no response. Lulled by the SOM
nlferous droning of insects and lazy
echoes from afar, Miss Chaplin was
on the verge of slumber, when she
saw her guest rapidly turn the last
pages Of her novel, then, with a choco-
late between her teeth, read wide

"Oh yes, you do, and you needn't be

II have heard Culver speak of him,

and Mr.. Speed settled things between
you, Helen? mean, has he-said any
thing"
Miss Blake flushed.
"Not exactly" She adjusted a
cushion to cover her confusion, then
leaned back complacently. "But he
has suffered dangerously several
times"
A musical tinkle of silver spurs
sounded in the distance, and around
the corner Of the cook-house opposite
came Carara, the Mexican, his wide,
spangled sombrero tipped rakishly
over one ear, corn-husk cigarette
dropping from his lips.
cts that romantic Spaniard!" whis-
pered Helen. What does he want?"
'It's his afternoon call on Marie
delta, the maid," said Jean. "They
meet there twice a day, morning and
afternoon"
"a lovers tryst!" breathed Miss
Blake, eagerly. isn't he graceful and
picturesque! Can we watch them?"
"'Sh-h! There she comes!"
From the opposite direction ap-
peared slim, swarthy Mexican girl,
an Indian watering balanced upon her
shoulders. She was clad in the
straight-hanging native garment, belt
ed in with a sash; her feet were in
sandals, and she moved as silently as
a shadow.
During the four days since Miss
Blake's arrival at the Flying Heart
Ranch she had seen Mariedetta fit
ting noiselessly here and there, but
had never heard her speak. The pref
ty, expressionless face beneath the
straight black hair had ever retained
it's wooden stolidity, the yelvety eyes
had not laughed nor frowned nor
sparkled. She seemed to be merely
a part of this far southwestern pic
ture; a bit of inanimate yet breath
ing local color. Now, however, the
girl dropped her jug, and with low
cry glided to her lover, who tossed
aside his cigarette and took her in his
arms. From this distance their words
were indistinguishable.
'How perfectly romantic" said the
Eastern girl, breathlessly. II had no
idea Mariedetta could love anybody"
"She is a volcano" Jean answered.
why, it's like play!"
"And it goes on all the time"
"How gentle and sweet he is!
think he is charming. He is not at all
like the other cowboys, is he?"
While the two witnesses of the
scene were eagerly discussing it, Joy,
the Chinese cook, emerged from the
kitchen bearing bucket of water, his
presence hidden from the lovers by
the corner of the building. Carara
languidly released his inamorata from
his embrace and lounged out of sight
around the building, pausing at the
farther corner to watt a graceful kiss
from the ends of his fingers, as with
a farewell flash of his white teeth he
disappeared. Mariedetta recovered
her watering and glided onward into
the court in front of the cook-house,
her face masklike, her movements de-
liberate as usual.
Joy, spying the girl, grinned at her.
She tossed her head coquettishIy and
her step slackened, whereupon the
cook, with sly glance around, tapped
her gently on the arm, and said:
Mice lii gally."
"The ideal" Indignantly exclaimed
Miss Blake from her hammock.
But Mariedetta was not offended.
Instead she smiled over her shoulder
