that. The man didn't know the name. But when
Luke described Bly, he asked "'The that takes

At that hour Luke had Government touring car

and was known to have accumulated
a competence in gilt-edged bonds.
So the search was no sinecure.
But Luke started after 1t with the
few clues he had and with the added
advantage that he knew Bly, on sight.
He was thrown off by the new fea-
ture, the woman, for he figured that
all he knew of Bly's habits hereto

a mans established habits don't

OMalley sent the operative to find Bly's Office

Bly, occupied a tworoOm suite, as 3. H. Benson,
dealer in stocks and bonds that he employed a
stenographer an attractive blonde; that there was
nothing secretye about the Offices since the scrub

there: that Benson usually left about or o'clock
each afternoon never worked nights there In leas-
ing the place he had given his Toledo bank and
his Cincinnati broker references-no home ad-
dress offered asked for.
It was past 8. so o'Malley strolled over to the
building and sneak-thieved into the Office lie
found nothing that rewarded the trip. There were
some letters Of no significance. few newspapers
the usual tools of a small private business, and no
giveaway photographs or memoranda OF any nature

a great noise, the SACK was thrown
open
Porky heard some one say,
twenty-five dollars to the one
who catches the creased pig!"
Then some one blew a horn nearby
and it scared him SO he started to
run.
In and out he darted in terror.
Several people tried to grab him,
but he slipped through their hands.
Then ahead of him he saw an open
ing in the crowd. Some one was
kneeling down and looking straight
at him. Porky's heart skipped a
beat. 1t was none other than Bob.
He ran, with little squeal of re-
lief, straight into Bobs arms.
And SO that is how Perky paid
back Bob and Anne.

gather it by hand, allowing an edge
of one inch on each side Paste
this to the inside of the box, turn

To make a neat edging around
the top of the box, cut three strips
of crepe paper three-fourths of an
inch wide and holding the ends to-
gether, by lacking to some solid
object braid into long strip.
When pasted around the top of the
box, this makes very neat finish.

Take the other cardboard circle
and fasten it with gummed tape to
narrow strip of cardboard about
two inches wide. Cover the top
with a circle of the crepe paper
and the side with a band of the
same. putting them on as shown
in figure 4. The lid is lined in
the same manner as was the hat
box, and will give you no trouble
if you follow the directions given
for the box itself
Bands of tulle ribbon looped
through a hole on each side of the
box forms the handle and makes q
pretty decoration when tied in a
fluffy bow over the top Of the box.
Some Other Styles
Another hat box. covered with
plain crepe paper and decorated
with bands of contrasting colors

salmon pink or apricot shade would
be pretty with black gummed tap5
bindings and black silhouettes.
These dancing figures may be cut
from the decorated crepe paper.

The Creased Pig

Porky was a runt. The other pigs
ran over him and chased him
about, and pushed him from the
feeding trough. He might have
starved, if it hadn't been for Bob
and Anne. They took him out and
made pet of him and looked after
him, so that he had a chance to
make something out of life, after
all.
Their father was tenant farmer
on the big farm, and both of them
turned in to help him during the
summer. Porky followed them
about, for all the world like a fat
little dog. Anne used to pump
water on him sometimes, trying to
keep him looking halfway clean.
Once she even tied pink ribbon
around his neck. But one roll in
the dirt finished the ribbon.
Bob and Anne were nearly as
broken-hearted as Porly, therefore,
when one day he was put in with a
bunch of other pigs, that were to
be sold. Porky squealed a little.
He wondered what il was all about.
Down in his soft, fat heart, he
wished for some way to show Bob
and Anne how he appreciated their
being so good TO him. But before
he could do anything, he was taken
away.
Now Porky didn't know that he
was on his way to a fair. But he
knew it must be something import
ant, for a couple of men looked at
him frowningly, decided he was too
small, and sold him to some one
else.
He couldn't remember just what
took place after that. He only re-
membered being smeared with
some oily stuff, and showed into a

Egypt's Schools Progress

Before the British occupation of
Egypt their schools (called kut-
tabs) were usually religious schools
only and for boys, the education Of
girls being neglected. The Mu'alin
or teacher would recite a few YER
SEES from their religious book, the
Koran and the children would re-
cite it after him. Now, however,
schools are made more attractive,
girls are admitted, and a wider
range of subjects are studied.
