 fish from a private river belonging to a sporting alligator, and the police were
 very anxious to get hold of him. This crafty pelican had way of entieing fish to the surface of the water, and then bouncing on them, which earned him Terrible nickname.

1 remember one Christmas l was just about broke and wanted to get T nice present for Mother. Dad offered to give me the money, but it didn't seem just right to do it that way, so made present instead. and if 4 do say so myself. it was nice present and Mother liked it whole lot better than anything else she got. Here's what it was---a nut bowl.
 Get a small wooden meat-bOwl at a ten-cent store and screw an anvil of some very hard wood in its center, as shown in the illustration. The anvil may be capped with a bit of steel and screwed to the wood if two holes are drilled in the steel cap to allow for the screws.
 The hammer can also be purchased at the ten cent store. Get a small one and saw part of the handle off, leaving about six inches Sandpaper all the wooden parts well. stain oak or ma hogany, and varnish twice.
 The affair can be made as much fancier as you please, depending OH your own taste and ingenuity.
 If you boys want to get Dad some thing he really wants for Christmas make him one of these collar boxes.

We must keep her mind happy and serene," said the great specialist, .'.and let nothing upset her."
 Mrs. Morton had these words in mind as she fixed up the room in the city apartment which was to be Ruth's. The Mortons were the richest people in Normanville, but all their money could not stave off the dread disease which had made them fear that Ruth would never walk again. However, the city specialist assured them that it was quite possible for Ruth to be cured, but it would mean visits from him twice a week. Therefore, Mrs, Morton peDfed an apartment in the city for q tew months and prepared to bring 1ukk h to the specialist.
 The room that waa eo kc Ruth ' had two big windows faeiMG on . auiet park. There was one snaM window at the back facing on an alley and tsa backyards of some shabby heaseS on . street behind it. "How depEsszing." !" shuddered Mrs. Morton, remembering the doctors words about hxppg sur roundings for Ruth, and she ssdexak q lovely Chinese screen. that ,egmBfefsIS -- concealed the window. The wheik E8sm was beautifully and brightly earnisheG There was a shelf of all of Kufhys books, all sorts of games to amisse her, and wheel chair that could travel about the room.
 Ruth's nurse was a pleasant young girl who took Ruth for an airing in the park every morning and amused her in the afternoons. The two grew quite chummy, and Mrs. Morton; feeling she was not really needed, became inter ested in settlement work which took up most of her afternoons.
 In/spite of all that was done for her, Ruth was unhappy and disconteHt- ed. She was so irritable that her mother really dreaded being with her This continued for about a month, and then suddenly change came in Ruth. There was new sparkle in her eyes, all the old discOntented lines disappeared, and. too, she began 10 mend more rap idly. The doctor was pleased, 'fShe has at least resigned herself to waiting quietly until the treatment is oyer," he said. Tt will not be very long now"
 Mrs. Morten gratefully raised the nurse's wages, feeling that she was no doubt responsible.
 Then one afternoon Mrs. Morton came home early, unexpectedly. She ran into Ruth's room, stopped and gave a little croy of surprise. The nurse was gone, and, at first she did not see Ruth. Then she heard merry peal of laughter and Ruth's voice. There at the back of the room was Ruth's wheel-chair. The Chinese screen was pushed aside and Ruth. with cape to protect her from the chilly air, sat by the window.
 And than the big fox said" Ruth was relating. Mrs. Morton slipped up and peered over her shoulder. Under . the window sat whole group, of Ruth's story.
 Suddenly they saw Mrs. Morton and called to Ruth, who turned quickly, and looked at her mother, as though she
