The water pan is supported IN a
wooden frame Gig. 81 hung from the
bottom of the shelter box by a pair of
uprights. The frame should be made
Of the right size SO the pan receptacle
will set down between the strips and
the rim will rest upon the strips. The
frame must be long enough, of course,
SO the uprights can be fastened to
both 1t and the box, as shown, and in
case the pan to be used does not
reach from one end strip to the strip
opposite, as it is shown to do In the IL
lustration, 1t will be necessary to fas-
ten extra cross strips at the right

THE WEDDING EVE
BY II. M. EGBERT.

C1aud Deering was as happy as a
rising young doctor in a small town
could be, for on the next day he was
to marry the best woman in the world
Ray Clifford.
Neither of them was in their first
youth. Deering was thirty and Ray
had shyly confessed that there was
only a year or two between them in
age. "a year or two, my DEAR she
had said, laughing, "and don't forget
the two"
And Ray had been married before
Deering knew all about that tragedy
in her life; the inexperienced girl of
twenty-five, fascinated by the rogue
who wanted the little legacy that her
father had left her. John Brooks was
a man of the world; he had seen a
good deal of the world, and not its
best side. OF all that Ray was COM
pletely ignorant. She loved him with
all the devotion of her nature, and
would have stuck to him in spite of
all-of his prison record, of his igno-
BILE life, had he confessed to her. But
having got possession of her small
fortune, Brooks had left her for an
other woman, three months after the
marriage. Later came news of his
death in brawl in a low saloon, and
Ray resumed her maiden name
Well. one can only take up ones life
again when it has been broken. Ray
took up hers. Nearly six years had
passed before she met Deering, and
their first meeting told them that they
had been made for each other.
AS Deering sat in his office, dream
ing over the happiness in store for
her, there came a knock at the door.
He was alone. the old housekeeper
having gone home to her sick sister.
Deering rose and opened the door.
A ragged tramp was standing out
side-
DOC Deering?" he inquired with a
surly scowl
That's right" answered the doctor
heartily. He felt on good terms with
all the world that night. Come in
and sit down. What can 1 do for

then Deering saw that he was in the

The simplest method of fastening the
fower-pots is by using screw-eyes,

be turned by hand, and the eye is
large enough to hold the pot in place.

he muttered. That's why 1 came.

Deering took the blow quite calmly
as a man should. He took the tramps

man, but you can't throw me of
the scent like that. If you want me
to be silent and let you marry Ray,
you're going to pay for it. How about

Deering clapped the man on the
shoulder.
