denly heard a man shout: Hey!
Somebody's boat has drifted out!'
A horrible fear clutched his heart
as he looked about him. Their boat
was not where it had been on the
beach. He looked out and saw it rid
Ing away on the breakers. He thought
OF Edward sitting in it alone being
drtfted off to parts unknown.
With cry he darted up and dashed
into the water. Hey. there! What's
that kid trying to do" some one cried.
Into the surf the boy waded, then
plunged down and struck out with all
his might for the boat. 1t hadn't gone
far but the waves were deep.
There was great excitement on the
shore and two men plunged in after
the brave little rescuer. Soon they
had overhauied him and one of them
caught hold of the drifting boat.
'M-my brother!" gasped Jerry, seiz-
ing the man by the shoulder. us he

"Oh. is that ft?" exclaimed the
man. and peered into the boat. "A
kid, as sure as you live!" he cried.

They helped Jerry inside and then
towed the boat ashore.

been drowned. Guess I'd better hustle

First the hoe. The handle shoula
be made of round stock. Drill a hole
IN one end and the wire which is TO be
attached 20 the blade.
The directions call for a piece of wire
three-sixteenths in diameter. That is
not the exact size expression to use as
a rule. but as it was not intended TO
cause any trouble looking for wire of
a particular gauge. the size is given
as noted. 1t should not be smaller
than indicated. but may be slightly
larger The hole in the handle should
be slightly smaller than the wire so
that 1t may be turned into place and
a tight At assured.
Cut out the pattern for the blade
according to the dimensions, making
The curves TO suit. Next iatten one
end of the wire and bend to shape.
The wire is to be fastened 10 the blade
by soldering. To do SO. it will be neces-
sary to tin the f1attened part OF the
wire and the place on the blade It Is to
rest against Solder as usual
The making of the rake will be the
hardest part of the two tools.
The handle Is not difficult, being
very similar 70 the other handles. so
no trouble will be met with here.

tired feeling. and just wanted to lie
around and do nothing. Somehow

Without hardly knowing what was
