written in such a code looks like
careless scrawling of aimless lines,
and no one can guess the meaning
that it contains.
Here is a special angle code that
has been worked out Just for you.
1t has never been printed before,
and you can use it II you like 1t
will show you the system by which
such codes are made.
The beginning of the whole thing
is the cross lettered A, b, G., and
ID. From this we get the four an
giles which form the start OF the
alphabet. To form the next four
letters double line is drawn up
and down of the simple cross fig
ure. This gives us h, +, G, and
II, as you may see by following the
lettered angles In the lower part OF
the illustration.
For the next four letters the nat
ural thing to do is to make a double
line crosswise of the foundation
figure. This forms the letters |,
J, X, and l..
Now the two systems of double
lines are combined. forming a sort
of double cross, and we have the
letters M, N, O. and p.
For Q, II, S, and T we go back
to the first figure. the plain cross.
We join the four ends of the figure,
and we have four different TRAN
giles. These are separated off to
make the four letters given.
Now we use the four-triangle

worked out. It's all In forming
some sort of key figure and making
slight changes In it. Once you've
learned how the letters are made
you can easily figure them out.
In making such figure. the let
ters are made from left to right and
from top to bottom. You must have
some such uniform way of working
out a code.
Any sort of message, of course,
can be written In one of these an
gle codes. but it should not be so
long that II is tiresome to read. Be
sure to leave plenty of space be
tween the different words in writ
ing out sentences. and where you
have more than one sentence leave
a double amount of space between
sentences.
Messages in this code can be
drawn out neatly on paper with the
aid OF ruler, or II can be done In
chalk or charcoal. 1t makes no
difference, just so you are sure TO
make the angles clear. 50 that the
letters cannot be mixed up.
Now just dare some of your
friends to read what you have writ
ten in code like this.

GEORGE, A LIFE SAVER

Many years ago there lived a boy
whose father was an engineer.
One day when IL was raining the
boy thought he would go down to
the creek near the tunnel to fish.
He was very fond Of fishing.
While he was there he thought
he would go upon the tunnel. When
he got to the top he saw that the
tunnel was washed away He said
to himself, II must save my faith

the train coming he stood in tho
middle of the track and when tho
train came near his father rang
the bell but George stayed in the
middle of the track. His father
stopped and got out and asked
George why he was standing in
the track. George replied. q would

One girl who tried the hat shown
in the picture made it of French
blue crepe with a band of black

would be pretty made up in ma

When she finished it, before put

Get Your Man"

At Manitoba group of men

| the murder OF 1t. James O'Neil.
Soon more men came up, for Col.
Handeler ives putting up poster.
1t said, BLACK McCready wanted
for the murder of 1t. O'Neil"
Now, Black McCready was an
outlaw. He was the worst man
around. O'Neil had a sister and a
brother. At the Settlement House
there was a boy named Humpy.
He had a violin and could play
very well. 1t. Robert Brandon

One could not tell where he was
hiding. Perhaps in the Eskimo
huts or among the Indians.
1t. Brandenburg started out. At
last he got a clue. McCready was
going to Quebec. Squirting his
horse, he decided to head him off.
Climbing up a high hill he saw the
camp of McCready. Sneaking
down, he got behind large rock. !
but McCready saw him. Drawing |
his revolver, he shot. He missed. |
This gave Bob chance. Leaping |
forward he hit McCready, knocking |
him over, but McCready hit Bob a
blow, which knocked him sense
less.
Black McCready then packed his
tent and everything he had. He
took Bob's revolver and took the
trail to the north. He had cabin
up there. Bob got up. He found
his gun gone. But there was one
thing McCready had overlooked. 1t
was his prize knife and belt. AS he
was walking along, he came to the
cabin of O'Neil's father Here he
got a clue. O'Neil's father told the
following story:
