IT'S BAD ENOUGH to move to a
new city and start into a new
school among boys and girls and
i teachers that you have never seen
before, when the change Is made at
the beginning of the school year. But
to start in at the spring. After every
body else Is acquainted and work is
begun and you're behind and strange
and all that-well, anyone who has
ever tried It, knows what hard work
1t is. that's certain!
But that was exa city what Sue had
to do.
She and her father and mother
moved to Granville in the late winter
and Sue was put at once into the new
school. At her old home she had
been in the second grade but here it
was thought best for her to spend a
little time back in the first and work
her way up. And, as though that in
itself was not disappointment enough,
she found that the girls and boys
didn't play a single game, not one
single game the way she did. Such a
forlorn and lonesome little girl you
never saw. She wouldn't try to learn
the new games at recess; she just sat
the bell to ring. And she shook her
| head and pretended not to see when
anyone tried to speak to her.
The girls and boys soon stopped
trying, you may be sure of that and
they called her that stuck up new
girl" and let her alone altogether.
Finally the teacher noticed Sues
unhappy face and asked two Of her
| pupils about it.
We've tried to play with her." said
Tom, but she won't play. She won't
talk to us or anything so we let her
alone"
"She won't even answer us any
more" added Helen GROSSLY, I'VE don't
want her in this school, so there!"
Did you ask her to play your
games" asked the teacher thought
, fully, "or did you ask IL she knew any
she could show you how to play"

course" replied Tom. much puzzled
at the question, "Why?'
Because maybe she would have felt
more at home II she could help you
have some fun" answered the teacher
And no doubt she knows a lot Of jolly
new games that you folks would like

Tom looked at Helen and she stared
back at him. I'VE hadn't thought of
that" said Tom soberly. cit is more

that's true. Wen try 1t tomorrow"
The next morning before he left for
school he got permission from his
mother to take two instead of one Of
grandmother Marsh's fine apples to
school, what do you want with
two?" asked his mother as she smil-
ingly agreed.
Were going to make a little new
girl feel at home today" explained

97D HEN Tom Barclay, a Georgia
boy, started on a fishing trip
on summer afternoon in
w 1886 he little dreamed that
he was to encounter hostile Indians.
Tom lived with his parents in
log cabin on the eastern side Of
great swamp, far from any neighbor
and he did not know that the settlers
on the western side had hurried their
families into an old block-house, seek
ing safety from marauding Creek In
dams on their way from Alabama to
join the Seminoles in Florida. But the
boy was soon to become better inform

suit of them.

provided with fishing tackle, Tom fol-
lowed a dim trail through dense woods
down to the flooded area of the
swamp, where he stepped into a dug
out canoe and pushed his way into the
watery jungle until he reached an open
pool of considerable depth in which
he was wont to catch some very fine
black bass. calling them trout

best, keeping a grip on his gun the
while. Tom saw circular opening in
the side of the giant cypress directly
opposite him and only few feet
away. Pulling aside the branches OBJ
structing his view, the boy was sur
prised and delighted to find that the
opening was att least two feet in dia-
meter and that 1t would be within reach
of his hands IL he moved foot or two
nearer on the limb now supporting his
weight. The limb bent beneath his
weight couple of feet as he moved.
but he managed to grasp the sides of
the opening which fortunately proved
to be firm.
Tom first thrust his gun down into
the cavity in order to sound it's depth
frightened squeak followed and a
fox-souirrel wisked past him, skurry-
ing wildly up the sides of the cypress
to the very top. Laying hold on a
limb above him. Tom drew himself up
and swung himself feet foremost into
tho hollow, which was nearly five feet
deem and varied in width from about
tbree feet at the top to two at the
hottom. Not any too comfortable, the
hov now rested quiet, his face to the
opening.
Within a few minutes after Tom en-
tered the hollow he heard the dip. Of
M ddles and knew that his pursuers
were approaching in his canoe. 1t was
evident further that they had brought
a dog, for excited barking close at

out and look down, Tom drew in his
head quickly and almost held his
breath. One glance had revealed two

the head of the nail to enter. Other
wise the head would interfere with the
proper setting of the reel.
The pegs in the arms should slant
slightly to prevent the yarn from slip
ping off as the reel is revolved. An
angle of about 70 degrees is suggested.
Bore these holes very carefully. Bowel
rods can be>used for pegs, but If these
are not available, satisfactory pegs
can be made by rounding the corners
of a stick three-eighth-inch square
and smoothing with sandpaper.
Parts A and b should be fastened
together. Small nails can be used but
better job will be secured IL screws
are used Instead. On part c fasten
part f exactly in the center, the parts
ID as shown in the small drawing in
the lower right hand corner. On the
top of these pieces fasten part e.
Assemble by inserting the nail
through parts A and B, then place a
washer over the nail. The other parts
are next placed in position over the
nail. The arms are now slipped into
place and the reel is ready for use.
To protect the hands from injury, a
small cap should be made to fit over
the end of the nail. No drawing Is
shown for this. Just take suitable
piece of wood. bore hole in the end
for the nail and round of the top.
The reel is adjustable to different
size skeins of yarn by moving the pegs
to the different sets of holes.

headdress. It was plain that one of
them had shot at him. for the other
was just lifting his rife as If to fire.
Waiting to see no more, Tom fed to-
ward his canoe, bending down as he
ran, looking back and trying to keep
clumps of palmettoes between him and
his foes. The two Creeks followed
cautiously, as if suspecting the pres
ence of other whites, and several bull
lets sang by the fleeing boy.
Poor Tom was really hoping to es-
cape when, on seeing third Indian
near his canoe, he turned aside and
raced toward a more distant part of
the swamp line. Then, not knowing
what else to do. he ran straight into
the submerged jungle, ducking down
in the brush and struggling forward
in water that soon rose from his knees
to his waist.
After this all was quiet, the Indians
seemingly averse to wading in after
him and perhaps deciding to continue
the pursuit in his canoe. AS soon as
he felt reasonably sure of this Tom
began to move very quietly and to look
about for a hiding place. In no grea.
while he chose a water-oak covered
with dense foliage and began to climb,
noting as he did so that the spreading
branches of the oak embraced the
trunk of an immense old cypress. The
refuge chosen was by no means salts
factory, but Tom thought that quiet in
any sort of hiding place was better for
the moment than noisy movement in
the water.

r. SUPPOSE every boy has to from
time to time help his mother or
sister wind yarn from the skein
i into a ball. Mother or sister can
not knit right from the skein. SO the
yarn must first be wound into a ball
and brother must help do it. And you
know how 1t makes your arms ache
to hold that skein for quite a while!
And sometimes the yarn does not I'M
wind evenly and mother has to I'M
tangle 1t. Or perhaps you forget about
the yarn and are thinking what a
fine time you could have down in the
shop and become careless about the
way you hold the skein. More snarls
result, and it takes more time to COM
plete the task and your arms ache all
the harder.
You can prevent all this bother If
you will take the time to make the
reel shown herewith. 1t is very prac-
teal and not at all difficult to make.
Any kind of wood can be used. but
as 1t Is to be used right in the parlor.
perhaps, something should be used
that will permit an attractive job to
result.

dimensions. DO NOT FORGET TO

one of the arms lay off measurements
of half inches and inches. This will
be found very useful to your mother
for the arm can be removed from the

to turn easily. If preferred. the hole
