7Me PEST DESTROYER

Wish I had one. Dad says I can as soon as Pm old enough to have a li- cense. I wouldn't mind having m n1otor-whee1 for my old bike. Say, brought my bike along with me this year.
 Henry let him babb1e on. but Herb never noticed that his cousin had the olues- When they got home, Henry went off by himself leaving Herb to shift for himself. Herb went around looking for Henry.
 Say, Aunt Jo,'' he asked, going out to the kitchen, ''where's Hen and what ails you al1?"
 Henry is very depressed" replied his aunt sadly. 'He was late getting back from the country this year, and he doesn't like his teacher in the new grade and the others got a start so he feels out of it, And he misses the healthy outdoor life, and the mosqui- toes bother him SO at night he can't sleep"
 "Mosquitoes!" exclaimed Herb.
 Don't it seem queer" replied Aunt Jo, that we should be having this heat and. mosquitoes at this time of the year in the city. T never expected it so put the screens away, but Henry. says he can't sleep a wink they bother him so.''
 ''It does beat the Dutchi" agreed Herb. But don't worry about Hen. I'll fix him up all right. In the first place. he'll get used to the teacher; and secondly. I'm later than he is, and that ought to be some comfort; and thirdly, I'll think up way to get rid of the mosquitoes" "You dear boyt" cried his aunt. I'm so glad your parents let you come here to school I don't know what I'd do without you. Henry's so tempera- mental'
 This praise rather put Herb on his mettle, so he went at once into the library to study and think. A mos quito bar would keep the pests off the sensitive Henry. but that was too tame a method to appeal to Herb. He , wanted something with thrill in it. He delved into an encyclopedia and found that mosquitoes breed in water and if you can find the breeding place and sprinkle oil on the water the mosquito tribe would just naturally die out. That's queer,'' he said to himself, mo water around here that I know of"
 He read on and learned that some mosquitoes carry disease and that the i Canal Zone used to be terribly un- healthy but since the mosquitoes had been slain, it had become a regular health resort. Fish are good mDs- quito killers, so are frogs. "The com- mon toad is a champion pest destroy er.' said the article.
 ''Well now" said Herb, that's real | interesting and I'll start right out to get rid of the slleets'' He went out into the back yard which opened on an alley. There was a narrow ditch in the middle of the alley, full of stale water. Herb went back. got an oil can and sprinkled the

best yet, because Bobby did not have to go off in far places to find water It was right across from the place where he was staying. It was in the Gardens and every morning he was there.
 Willow branches waved over his head, pigeons cooed and strutted be- side him. If he lifted his head he could see ranks of heliotrope and zen- nias-he knew the names of them and of geraniuns. Along in the mid dle of the. morning a great white swan-boat would come circling around before him. Bobby would see how the Sunrise cut in two the pictures the swan-boat made in the water, he

Note that the front edges of adjoining pieces are not flush, but one projects 1s or less be- yond the other. Cut the shelf to exact dimensions; locate and cut recesses to receive one or two inkwells as may be desired and carve the pen tray with a gouge and sandpaper smooth. If square inkweu is desired. purchase one with straight sides, as it is diff cult and perhaps impossible to fit one with irregular sides; a round inkwe1l may be preferred as these may be fitted easily, since a hole of the exact size may be bored with an extension bit.

ditch, also some old tin cans in which water was standing. He felt very inn portant indeed when some of the other children of the neighborhood came out and asked him what he was doing.
 Lend me the can," requested Tommy. i've have a norful stagnant aquarium"
 'FThen I'd like to borrow it." Daisy said. 'I know there's stagnant water around our place.
 So Herb lent them the can. Then he went and knocked the crate off his bicycle and telNng his aunt that he was going for a little business ride, he cyc1ed out of the street and off to the suburbs of the city. He knew the city very we'll for he had been going to school there for three winters.
 It was quite like the country in the suburbs and Herb knew of a certain spot where there were lots of hop toads-at least. there had been the year before. When he got there he didn't find so many. in fact, only one

a string tied to the bow, one end of it, he held firmly in his hot hand. The Sunrise split the water like bird cutting through the air. She left little white missing mark after her. She cut in two pictures of blooming bushes and waving branche es and a green and red reflection of the pavilion above the steps. Further out on the lake were shadows of white clouds Bobby seemed to be seeing nothing but his boat.
 He took her out, too, on the duck pond. The keeper was feeding the ducks and geese there and bobby slipped out beside him, boat tucked under his arm, and presently he had the Sunrise in the water again, slip ping along she was between ducks which looked green and red and blue and geese, white and graceful, and be- sides one swan, slow and proud. Bob by's eyes seemed to be on the boat alone.
 Philadelphia, New York, Bobby was looking always for the place where water shone, water on which a boat could be f1oated. In New York he found a wonderful world-its name was the Bronx Zoo. The Sunrise here, by means of the string and Bobby's guiding hand, navigated lake

BOBBY'S BOAT

n OBBY'S boat was fourteen inches KR long. She had two masts. one & n big, one little, and two white @@s% sails and her hull was painted green Bobby had gotten her in Bal timore.
 Bobby had come from his home on an Indiana farm, where the only wa ter in sight was in the watering trough When he came east all he had eyes for was the water. He saw Baltimore harbor and it's ships. He went on an excursion out on the Chesapeake Bay and he passed boats and boats which had two masts and two sails, and the day after that trip Bobby was walking down the street when he saw just such a boat in a shop window, a little boat which he could hold in his hand and which, yet, looked exactly like those big ones he'had seen on the bay. He loved that little boat the minute he saw it. And now it was his. And the boats name was the Sunrise.
 Bobby took the Sunrise out to Druid Hill Park for her first voyage. He went down the steps to the edge of the lake and knelt there and put the boat carefully down into the water for which her slim shape had been made. And since winds are not to be trusted he drew her slowly along with

 Now. get busy.' urged his master.
 Then the supper-bell rang and in the excitement of stuffing down hot mullins and jam and stewed oysters and liver and bacon and a lot of other things, Herb forgot about the stranger upstairs Henry was gloom personi- fled, but Herb was so gay and funny nobody noticed poor Pain-in- tn e-face. Henry felt that the world was cruel and hard, so he went to bed soon after supper while his jovial cousin en- tertained the boys and girls who dropped in to give him a greeting.
 Herb went to bed about nine o'clock and tried to>be real quiet so as not to disturb poor Hen In fact, he only dropped his watch once and turned over little table on which was large brown wicker ornament shaped like a vase with a tin thing inside and Henry's paint-box. He was afraid he'd disturbed his cousin but Henry kept on sewing gourds. But when he was ready for bed, and stood poised, something cold hoped on his foot We'll. believe me, he jumped,

There was one-no that was a brook which came spilling along between flags and flowers and messy. stones, Bobby, kneeling upon a stone. watched the Sunrise sailing over water so clear he could see all the smooth stones and all the bright flakes in the sand. It was funny to hear Mother saying over his head, "I declare, Bobby, you see nothing in the world but that boat. All you think about is water to sail it in. You won't remember thing about all the places you are seeing. The whole thing to you is that boat and enough water to pull it around in."

 At first Bobby could see nothing but the clear Indiana sky reflected in the water and few stray and idle clouds. He leaned. looking. The Sunrise fioated calmly. Presently Bobby began to see the picture Of .blossoming bushes and waving branches. of a red and green pavilion top, of wood ducks and white geese He did not remember much about Philadelphia, but there came day when leaning idly over the trough side. the Sunrise making white shadows of her sails within the water, he could see the brook in Bronx Park: the beavers; beaver lodge-it all came back to him as he gazed into the wa ter.
 He could see the lake in Boston Gardens, the white swan-boat; the pigeons; the flowers. More than that he could see the street he crossed, the house at which he had stayed. the places to which his mother had in sisted on taking him. The cool clear

Bobby sighed blissfully, there was so much water to pull the Sunrise around in in this world of the Zoo. He even got the Sunrise on the beaver pond. And that was something to have done. There were Mother Beaver and Father Beaver and the Beaver babies, and there was Beaver Lodge. But there was the Sunrise cutting across the cool pictures along the edge of the pond.
