Who shoots a stuf-arm singing

To where you've stored away your

Who drops his fist upon your chest,

Unless he lams you fit to kill;

Without deadly body jolt

was about to be enacted, and all the
weary waiting during these long
months for baby to grow was to be
rewarded thus. Mamma-yes. baby's
own mother-was going to shorten

to think of some way to avert the

fused to work. All she could think
of was mothers hushed voice saying,

could she? How dare she? He's
Papa's baby, too.
Eagerly she waited to hear Papa's
key in the front door that evening,
and as Mamma was undressing baby
for the night she had no difficulty
in stealing down and waylaying him
in the vestibule. She put her hand
in his.
why, my little puss has cold hands
tonight, and they are trembling. Are
you not well?" he asked. looking at
her with concern.
Solemnly she led him into the par

THE LITTLE
CARPENTER

ET was Saturday morning and It
NJ was raining eats and dogs" as
N the saying goes. But Bobbio didn't
E care in the least. Ordinarily on
Saturday morning-the one week.
day on which there was no school
Bobbie would have wept had he woke
up and found it raining. But not this
Saturday. Indeed no.
Why? Why simply because. on the
night before, his Uncle Frank had
presented him with box OF carpen-
tcr's tools-and any ono knows that
the very best day on which to saw
and hammer and plane and make
things with tools is rainy day.
Why this is so, is not quite clear
bat it is so. Perhaps because you
know that you can't go outside and
play and, instead of trying to find first
one thing and then another which will
amuso you indoors, you have the tools
and nice, smooth boards to work
upon.
So. right after breakfast. Robbie
carried his tool-hox into the unused
room on the top floor, right under
the caves, and set to work. He felt
quite equal to building a whole house,
but concluded to TRY his hand" at
something simpler-say, for instance,
a shelf on which to put his favorite
books. In the book of instructions
which came with the box was a design

for a book shelf. And it looked very,
very easy to make.
Aunt Dinah, the cook. let him have
an old kitchen table to use as his
work bench; though he did have to
saw off the legs in order to make it
the right height for him to work upon
1t. Then, down in the cellar. he found
several big packing cases made of
good. stout wood.
Goodness me, what n racket he
made knocking them apart and draw
ing the nails so as not to injure the
wood! Then, with several of the sides
of the cases under his arm, he went
back upstairs to his "workroom"-
already, you see. he was calling it
by that name.
All morning long came the sound
of the hammer and saw and the gem
tie whirr-rr-rr of the plane. He found
the task much more difficult than he
had supposed it would be. In the
picture in the book of instructions,
| each joint fitted snugly and prettily
into its fellow; but Bobbio's, some
how. seemed bit jagged and irreg-
ular.
Still. they didn't look so very bad.
Indeed. he felt rather proud of his
work. And he knew that when he
had stained the shelf with a dark
mission stain it would cover up many
Of the defects.
Not once during the whole morn
ing did Mamma have to call him to
