TN OBEY wanted to give a party H& that was different from any other Fl party that he had ever attended. ~ Mother always had the best ideas so he sought her aid. She put on her thinking cap and this is the party that Bobby gave. The invitations were cut from brown paper in the shape of Noah's Ark-the windows colored red and the roof crayoned- in green On the reverse side in white ink was writ ten the message: "Beware of the Flood! If you want to escape climb aboard the Ark next Saturday after noon. Everybody must be aboard at my house by three o'clock
 BOBBY BURNS.
 123s Green Road.
 When the curious and excited little guests arrived they were shown into as many different rooms as possible and after their hats and coats had been removed each child was given mask representing some animal.+ Thus disguised they trooped down sstars where Bobby dressed liked MT. Noah was waiting to greet them. Then each guest was given a pencil and a piece of paper and the fun began. The

N>HE first day of vacation was ~warm and sunny and Esther took
 her two favorite dolls and went
 out into the far garden. This was the place she liked best to play' because it was so far away from the house that one almost seemed to be away on a visit. Also because Esther liked the smell of the fresh earth and the feeling of a garden near her. Something always seems to be hap zpening in a garden-something blooms Or is ripe ready to pick or is interest ing to look at because it has grown so zraptdly-there is always something to see
 This particular morning Esther mo- ficed that the gardener had been cut ling the grass on the lawn around the house.
 & '.wonder where he put 1t all," she Thought, as she stepped over the fresh cut grass. "I 'spect he got lot. be- 5rause it was so long yesterday"
 She had not long to wonder, for when she reached the far off end of ! the yard, there, at the edge of the garden, were three great piles of rreenness-fresh smelling and pretty. They seemed just made for a little girl

A NOVEL PARTY

game was to see how many of th~ animals they could guess and as soon as they discovered who it was that was hidden beneath a mask, down on the paper went the name of that child. At the end of five minutes the papers were collected and the child with the longest correct list received a book of animal stories a. a prize.
 Then the masks were taken off and the children marched into the nurs- cry, which was fixed up like a reat ark. Straw on the floor; and hay piled in the corner for the animals to enjoy on their long voyage. And such games! Pin the trunk on the ele- phant! Hunt the peanut! Circus stunts! And then the ark dinner gong sounded and the hungry animals fair 1y tumbled over themselves to get into the dining room. The place cards were little Noah's Arks and the favors were tiny wooden animals.
 Before the guests knew it, 1t was time to go home, and a sorry crowd they were to leave Ark Land, where they had had such jolly afternoon.
 Do you think that party was fun? If you want to know just try it.

to play on!
 Its a good thing I put on this last years dress" laughed Esther to her self, "'cause then I don't need to worry about grass stain. I can just play on those piles all want to!'
 She set her dolls in state on one pile and then plunked herself down on the middle of the top of the other.
 "UghI I like thatI" she said hap oily as she sank down, down, down. in the soft greenness. Then she played that the pile was a throne and that the biggest doll was a queen and the other doll was her lady in waiting. That meant, of course, making a clover crown and a clover train for each doll, and a rope of clovers to mark the way the queen should walk. Esther loved making clover things and as her swift fingers worked the morning slipped by without her realizing at all that the sun was getting hotter and hotter. ''Now I'll take some of the grass from that other pile" said Esther, thoughtfulIy, and make a little throne beside this one, so the lady in waiting may sit near. but not beside, the queen"
 She picked up a great armful of

regular short top of the sewing mi chine is removed and a long boaI~ fastened in its place.
 The frame. of machine A is made or two by fours while the tcp of the bed and treadle are made of az stock. The tail stock is an important part and is detailed. While the means of forcing the dead center against the work is not as convenient as in the regular shop lathes still it can be made to hold the work in good shape. The tool rest is shown on the as sembled drawing in the lower right hand corner, its construction is sim pie. The slot made down the center of the top of the bed is for the bolts that hold the tail stock and tool rest in place. The 7a~, strips are to guide the tail stock.
 It will be noted that the chisels used for wood turning are ground differ ent1y than ordinary chisels. Many diff ferent shaped chise1s are required for making different cuts on a wood turn ing lathe, but the gouge and skew chisels are most essential. Books can be obtained at any public library giv- ing all required information on wood turning and also drawings of practice exercises and models. It is suggested that books on treating this subject be studied by the amateur before at- tempting to do work on turning g 1af

a rabbit was to be seen.
 "Why-why-," began Esther.
 ''They were there just a minute ago!"
 "They must have been,''. agreed the gardener because the grass is still warm. They are not far away. We'll look"
 He laid down his hoe and rake and with his hands (so not to hurt any creature), he picked away the grass. Bobby" he said, as he worked. you and your sister stand over there
 on the other side and catch 'em if they start to run"
 But he needn't have worried. Those tiny rabbits were too frightened to run. He pulled away grass and more grass till he got into the very center of the great pile and there, snuggled down tightly together-so tight they seemed like one little round ball of whiteness I-were the four missing rabbits. Very tenderly the gardener picked them up
 and handed them to Bobby, one at time.
 "I can't carry 'em al1," exclaimed Bobby, "let Esther help" So together the children carried the little runaways back to the safe shell ter of the rabbit house. And just then the dinner bell rang "No more time for dolls and queens today" said Esther as she took a good by look at her little new acquaintances, | "but anyway, rabbits are fun and I'm glad yours ran away so we could bring them home. I guess they'll like their home and their dinner better than the inside of a throne!" And the way those rabbits started nibbling at the fresh carrot tops seemed to mean, Indeed we do."

and look." said George. |.

The next day they returned avoiding the Inn where they heard the young stranger was staying. When they reached the spot on the mountain side who should be there but the man from the sky, hunting and muttering to hims self
 He's worried sick" whispered Ed 'I'm beginning to believe your story"
 Hello" called the man. Going to try your luck again?"
 He looked discouraged, but deter mined and they left him hunting in the pine grove.
 "I know where 1t isl" whispered George to his brother. 'It's down there in the brook. see 1t from here. Look! By that big stone"
 Shall we get it and give it to him?" Ed replied.
 'No, we'll look at 1t first" George answered. I'm not going to aid and abe. crime"
 So they went on rustling around the leaves and hoping the stranger would go away. But it was plain that he meant to stay right where he was He had brought his lunch along. So had the boys. They hung around and hung around and at last Ed took off his shoes and stockings and while | George diverted the mans attention | he fished the case out of the water and put it in his pocket. Shortly aft CT that the boys said they must be going home and they wouldn't acce pt | any pay for their services. | As soon as they were well out of sight and hearing they opened the case. In it lay a wonderful pearl necklace on a black velvet lining. It must have been worth thousands of dollars. The boys stared and stared
 Now what'u we do with it?'' | George asked.
 Tell Dad all about it," Ed decided | Two excited boys soon cornered their father in his little country store l told him the whole story and showed him the necklace. They went at once | to the sheriff.
 "Well, your imagination was right for once, George" said Ed, admiring- ly. as they left the court house late one afternoon. "But who would have thought that plain ordinary fellows like us should see a real smuggle1 and help catch him and his gang and get 8 reward? Pinch me! I don't feel it's real yeti"
 Come on," said George, Tets go to the movies and see something more real on a reel"

gardener had put the piles of grass there only that early morning. Where did the rabbits belong and how did they get there?
 She wasn't in doubt very long.
 From across the garden came a voice saying, Esther! Esther! Bob- by's coming over to see if you can help him find his rabbits. They've run awayi"
 Bobby was the little boy who lived next door.
 They're here!" shouted Esther in reply, they're all here! I'm keeping m for him, I am."
 Bobby and his big sister who had called, came running in a jiffy and

INX FEE! What is it? It's getting IM dark! George craned his neck up, but in the grove where they - stood the evergreens were so |Pnshy and thick only a glimpse of the sky could be had.
 Branches and leaves began to fall t4pout them and George and his broth er Ed decided to move away. They 6crambled up the stony bank of the efream which they had been exploring md ran into the woods on the other 41de where the foliage was still new and scant.
 Its a balloonI" cried Ed, pointing, nis voice husky with excitement. |eLookP
 They're sending down a mani" |Scried George.
 E Sure enough! As the balloon how cred over the trees a man was seen coming down.
 What reckless thing to dol" ex- claimed George. Hell be sure to Eet cut and scratched and like as not killed. Let's go over there. Maybe Hwe could help.'
 | They crossed the brook again and entered the spruce grove on the other Side. Just as they reached 1t they 4eard a cry and the snapping of Branches. They followed the sounds $ 4nd saw a man sliding down one of The trees. He was a young fellow About seventeen or eighteen years old And when he reached the ground he rubbed his wrist and felt of his face IS if he had been hurt, but not badly.
 As eager as the boys were to question =shim and draw close, something held Them back. George cautiously sat down and pulled Ed beside him. There's something queer about fhis," George whispered We'd better *Eo slow"
 # Meanwhile the stranger went on N4eeling of himsef, then all of a sudden The dropped down in a heap the Eround. Of course, the boys hurried Forward then. They found that he had tainted, so while Ed hastily ex- Sarained him to see if he were hurt George ran for water. Ed found only Ia few scratches. The young man must f have had a weak heart. When he |zscame to they had his collar off and his head down.
 ssIt's gone! The easel" Then he saw the boys and pulled himself together.
 "You tainted" said George. You'll A be all right
 The stranger groaned and looked
 up. Through a little opening in the
 pfnes could be seen the balloon a mere speck in the sky. Then he looked suspiciously at the boys and bit his lips George calmly pulled out a large meat sandwich from his pocket and took a huge bite, for it was almost

maging among the leaves and shrubs and shaking the little trees in case the missing object were lodged in the branches. The stranger began to look too and the boys noticed that he went a little distance off to look.
 He thinks it fell out while he was coming down the rope," whispered George. ''He doesn't know we saw him come off the balloon. Do you know what think?'
 "What?" demanded Ed.
 "I think he's from Canada. A bal loon could easily come from there and float down here. I bet they're smugglers!"
 "Awi" exclaimed Ed. You've got an imagination all right"
 "Well. we won't say anything" said George. wen just lay low and watch"
 Ed agreed to this. They searched thoroughly but not a trace of the missing case did they find. "It must be here. It must be here," the stranger kept saying over and over as he searched feverishly.

wen have to go home," said George at last. They'll be all up in the air if we don't show up for supper and it's good hours walk from here."
 The stranger did not urge them to stay but gave them the dollars he had promised and asked them about a place to board.
 "He won't find it," said Ed, as they tramped down to the road. "The case isn't there or we would have come across it by this time"
 "We'll come back early tomorrow

lunch time and the excitement had given him an appetite. The stranger stared so hard and wild that George edged away from him.
 "I've had nothing to eat since yes- terday morning. he said in a husky voice. "I beg you-give me that sandwich"
 "Here's one," said Ed, fishing one out of his pocket. q have two"
 They sat munching in silence. At last the stranger, who had bSen giv- ing the boys the keenest kind of looks, said:
 "I've lost something valuable. It must have dropped out of my pocket while I was climbing down-er-I climbed a tree, you see. Could you help me find it? I'll give you a dollar

each whether you find it or not and an extra dollar if you do find it.'
 This sounded rather nice so both boys agreed to the bargain. How large was the case? What was it like?
 About this size," the youth meas ured with his hand. "Black leather. FIat.''
 Anything inside?" inquired George.
 'Yes-yes, but you needn't bother about that" replied the stranger. 'If you find the case you'll find the con tents."

the gardener who heard what Esther had said came too. When they were all in front of the pile, Esther bent over and picked up the grass she had lifted before for the throne.

 The drawing suggests five different types of lathes that I have discoVereo in home work shops of boys that l know. A home made lathe will oo very good work if all the parts are adjusted so the machine will work smoothly, but if not satisfactory work cannot be done.
