Pine lumber from a good shoe box

To make the box it is advisable to

the lengths can be learned from the
drawing. The ends must all be sawed
perfectly square as a piece of work

made leaving a crack.
After these parts are finished and
carefully sanded, make the handle. 1t
acts as a partition separating the
knives and forks. The piece for the
handle Is thicker than the rest of the
box, to give 1t additional strength.

THE BOX FROM OVERSEAS

folks would like to see the different
makes. There were uniforms and
/ swords and hats and caps and-well
just most everything that a big sol
| der brother could think of to send
| home. And all so well packed that
not thing was broken.
Down in the very bottom. after they
thought about everything was I'M
packed. Betty found what seemed to
| her the most interesting thing in the
whole box-a queer looking black
thing that mother said was a peri
scope. A trench periscope that the
soldiers in the trenches used to see
what the Germans were doing when It
wasn't safe to stick their heads out
and look.
The box was not more than I'M
packed before Betty, periscope in
hand, ran out to the back yard and,
safely hidden by some bushes, looked
into the next door neighbor's yard.
So great was her delight at being able
to see that she forgot to be quiet.
She called out in her loudest tones,
oh. Billy! 1 can see you and Cath
crime. l can see you both."
or course, that brought Billy and
Catherine running and they were as
interested in seeing the wonders from
overseas as Betty and Edmound had
been.
4 tell you." said Billy when he had
| tried on the gas masks for about the
tenth time, Il wish you could take
these things to school 1 just know all
the Fellows would like to see them"
Yes, let's!" exclaimed Betty. Think
what fun 1t would be to look at your
desk. Billy with this periscope and
all the time be seeing the things writ
ten on the top of the board"
OF course, their teacher was happv
to have the things brought and the
children ran home at noon the next
day full of plans for taking the box to
school.
But when they rushed i'll to tell their
mother they found that the box was
gone! Gone and not a trace left.
Bridget knew nothing about it; moth
er was nowhere to be found and the
precious box was goneI 1t was a
gloomy pair who tried to eat a bit of
lunch and then slowly and disaopoint-
eddy went back to school.
Lets both go right up and tell
her." said Edmound bravely, lets go

and then We can play till first bell
And wasn't he glad he went right
up for there, right inside the door of
their room was that box - their
precious overseas bcx, And there was
their mother. busy helping the teacher
unpack.
Did you have a scare?" asked Mrs
George when she saw their faces

We'll" said Edmound, "I hope he

to show the boys a helmet. would"
1t was weeks before the box came.
Weeks of anxious waiting and watch
ing they were too for the children
could think of a hundred things that
might happen to that precious box as
1t took the long journey across the
sea.
Then one day as they were coming
home from school what should they
see in front of their house but an
express wagon! It didn't take long
to run the rest of the way home, you
may be sure of that! And when they
got there they found a great big box
in the front room.
Looks like from overseas" said the
expressman.
YES" agreed Edmound. ats from
our brother Lynn. He sent 1t to u.s."
But the children couldn't stop for
talk. What they wanted was ham,
mer to open the box. Betty dashed
off after it and Edmound, close at her
heels, remembered the chisel to pry
the cover off easier.
With mothers help the box was
soon open and such fun as it was to
look at the wonders inside, There
were helmets-two of them, one
French and one German. There were

back to turn me around and give me

When the children had gone, Miss
