JANEY'S SURPRISES

- OR nearly a year Janey Linn had
been saving her money for
Christmas presents. And saving
money for Christmas these days
when one wants to buy thrift stamps.
of course. and everything costs so
much. was no easy matter. But Janey
was determined little person and
every time she wanted some candy or
soda water or sometimes piece Of
chewing gum. she thought three times
just as she had promised her teacher
she would do. One time was for
thrift stamp: the second thought was
for her Christmas present fund and
the third thought was for spending on
herself. And you'd be surprised to
know how very many pennies and
nickels that otherwise would have
been spent right Off. went into the
thrift stamp bank or the Christmas
bank.
So on Saturday morning not long
before Christmas when Janey's mother
said. Nov this Is our morning for
Christmas shopping. Janey." the little
girl only had to run and open her
bank and get all the money she had
saved for this very day. And. Of
course. she had y list Of all the folks
she wanted to buy for-that's easier.
to get than the money!
So they hurried OF as bright and
early in the morning as they could so
the stores wouldn't be too crowded and
buying would be fun. Janey had
looked forward to this morning 10:
weeks and weeks and you may be,
sure she was happy to have the sun
shine so she could wear her best fur
tam. her brand new coat and warm
leggings. It seemed 20 much more
like zeal celebration with sunshine
and new clothes and everything nice.
First they walked all through the
big store 50 fancy could see all the
things she had been thinking of. They
went pass the handkerchief coun
ter, thinking Of father. and the multi, !
counter. thinking Of grandpa. and the
fancy work counter. thinking OF Aun
Sue. and the hair ribbon counter. TO-
Janey's sister. and then the toy d.
partment for there Janey was sure
she would find Just the right present
for Junior and brother Tom.
But by the time they had gone
around to all those counters. Janey
had q hard time remembering just
what she wanted to get and what she
had seen. You see. she wasn't used to
going to the big up town stores and 1t
was all SO exciting. .f
And right there began the first sur
/ prise.
Now" said Janey's mother" just
,as though It was an everyday happen
tng, ..let's 60 up to the lunch room
and get some nice warm luncheon.
| Then, while Ne eat wen talk about

take more than an hour.
Nov them said Janey's mother
when everything was purchased. '.you
stand right here. Janey was puzzled.
Her mother had never left her alone
down town before and now she had
all her packages-just armfuls OF
them-and the wreath of holly; she
wanted to buy for the janitor's front
window. And mother left her all
alone! She stood there looking like
a Christmas tree with the packages
all loaded on 1t and looked around in
amazement as her mother departed.
But before she had time to be
frightened. her fathers voice close be-
hind exclaimed. now isn't this fun?
l told mother to have you here. and
alone. at exactly two o'clock SO you
and I could get mothers present to-
gether!" Maybe Janey wasn't sur
prised!
Father took all the packages, except
the wreath which might break, and
checked them, and then he and Janey
went shopping. She had never helped
pick out mothers present before. and
she thought 1t the best fun she'd ever
had. They picked out a necklace for
fathers gift and q pretty work basket
for Janey's and then came the las,
surprise Of the day.
Il suppose you couldn't eat any
more ice cream?" said Janey's father
"Oh. but / could!" answered Janey,
breathlessly. So they each got big
piled up dish Of ice cream and they
ate every drop. Then they got the
packages from the check room and
loaded up like real Santa Clauses for
the trip home.
Il know what I'm going to do" said
Janey as they reached their own front
door. I'm going to save lot of
money for next year and 60 shopping
just exactly like today"

very easy as JUS: straight planning and
saving are necessary to produce them.
Let US start on the anvil next. Get
out your stock to the required length
and thickness. then lay ous the
pattern which should be drawn with
sharp pencil. A coping saw will be
the best implement to use for cutting
to shape. Do the cutting carefully so
the part will look like a real anvil
when you have finished. The horn
will have to be rounded to a conical
shape. The straight cutting can be
done with a back saw. The groove
In the bottom should be laid out with
a marking gage, the sides sawed to
depth and the stock removed with a
small chisel. Sandpaper well.

require careful work to be successful.
Both coping and back saws will be
found necessary on these pieces. Your
jack knife will no doubt come Id

parts Of the hammers. but 1t should be
sharp.
When all the parts up to this point
are made to your satisfaction. star,

He fell to digging away at the snow

There were little panes Of glass in the

II was very little room and any

the fire. but so intent were they on
what was in front Of them and so
cleverly was the camp laid out that
they did not see the Indians"
At 6 o'clock II, was evident that the
scouting parties could not find the ''In-
dians." and so the camp site was aban-
doned and the hike for home was
started. A little after 8 they arrived
at the home camp to find that three
Of the scouting parties had given up
the hunt and that the other two were
still out.
Very little was said about their not
being able to find these bad Indiana
They no doubt thought they had tried.
but the reason they could not find
them was because the Indians were
hidden away SO securely.
In any event. they took It in good
part and the Indians" did not rub It
in. but that night around the campfire
It was determined to make the evening
a short one and get to bed early.
