Steel is obtained from iron
which has been treated in special
ways. Steel contains a small
amount of carbon. which is a
very important fact. There are
three main kinds of steel-hard,
medium and soft. Soft steel is
used for making boiler plates.
Medium steel is widely employed
in making frame work for Office
buildings. Hard steel is valued
for tools. axles and springs. In
addition to these steelS there are
many kinds of alloy steels.
Steel was made in olden times,
but it was less common than
other forms of iron. At Damas-
Gus, an ancient city of Syria, iron
workers learned to make swords
which won wide fame.
Toledo, Spain, also had its
steelmakers long ago. and their
swords were about equal in fame
to those of Damascus. They

trial was a success. Almost all
the carbon had been taken from
the pig iron.
After further trials, Bessemer
found that he could produce
steel at the cost of only $50 or
$35 a ton. In years which fol-
lowed, Bessemer converters be-
came common in the leading
countries of the world.

CHAPTER TWO.

Henrietta wept when her father
said she could not keep Willie.
He won't cost anything!" she
cried. "You will never know he is
here"
The father said, Keep him,
then, and you will see."
So Henrietta kept Willie and
this is the way things went in
the tiny crowded house where the
family was so poor.
Each mealtime Willie ate half
of everything on Henrietta's plate
and begged for more. He drank
all her milk. He cried for more.
When grandmamma left a loaf
of bread on a shelf, Willie paved
it down and devoured it. When
grandpapa left a little bag of
groceries on a chair, Willie fished
out a soup bone-meant to feed
the family for two days. Willie
hid under the house and stripped
the bone clean.
Willie Licked Up the Mess.
When uncle went in the ice box
for a bit of jam, Willie went in,
too, and knocked out the bowl
holding the weeks supply of eggs.
Happily Willie licked up the mess.
Besides eating, Willie chewed.
He chewed out the Innings of
the fathers shoes when he took
them off at night. He shredded
a blanket hanging from a bed.
He gnawed the edges of the one
rug in the house. He jumped in
the bathtub and chewed a hole
IN the spray. He went in the
pantry and chewed the straws
off the broom.
Besides eating and chewing
Willie frolicked.
In pure joy he raced through
the house. He tripped up the
father who came in with heavy
load of wood. He tWirled be-
tween the feet of the grandmam-
ma as she busted the table. He
played merry-go-round tn e
mother as she scrubbed the
kitchen floor.
AS he romped, the tattered rug
was tossed into a heap behind his
flying feet. Curtains were pulled
from windows, lamps broken,
scrub buckets knocked over, torn

wall paper stripped from the
walls.
Besides eating and chewing and
frolicking, Willie cried.
They Shut Him in the Kitchen.
When they put him outdoors
to save the house. Willie cried
so loud and so sorrowfully the
police complained. When they
shut him up in the kitchen, he
cried so brokenheartedly the
neighbors complained. When they
shut him in the basement the
whole family complained because
he cried so dreadfully that no
one in the house could sleep.
But Henrietta never noticed
the awful bother and expense of
Willie.
You are all the Christmas we
need at our house." she whispered
to Willie as he snuggled beside
her in bed. The puppy chewed
absently at Henrietta's tattered
night dress. He paused now and
then to lick her face.
You are my only friend"
murmured the girl. I'll never
be lonesome again."
After while Henrietta and
Willie fell asleep. They were
happy.
But out in the kitchen the
father talked to the rest of the
family.
You see how it is" he said.
eve can't afford a dog in this
house"
"The Dog Must Co."
The mother who had scrubbed
and scrubbed behind Willie had
to agree. The uncles and aunts
who had had their poor clothing
ripped by Willie had to agree.
Grandmamma and grandpapa
who had been tripped up again
and again by Willie had to agree.
Then they all thought of the
precious food that had been
poured into Willie and they all
sighed and said, Eyes, the dog
must CO."
So the father tiptoed into the
room where Henrietta lay asleep
on her little cot with the dog be-
side her: The father stood look
ing down at the girl and the
puppy for a long time. He hated
what he had to do.
At last he reached down and
gently picked up the sleepy pup.
Willie woke and dreamily licked
the fathers cheek. Then he went
back to sleep.
The father put on his hat and
carried Willie out of the house.

He loves to flnesse and he
loves to crossruff. When de-
clarer, on his right, leads low
card on a suit in which dunn
r1y's holding is headed by the
ace. Mr.. Muzzy likes to play the
highest cards in his hand-to
force" the ace, as he calls it.
In most cases this play gains
nothing at all and in fact loses
a trick. A simple example of
this is where declarer planned
to play the ace anyway.
In today'S hand, however, Mr.
Muzzy's second hand high play
was a real killer. Against the
three no trump contract he led
the seven of diamonds. (The ten
would have been a better choice
with this holding)
Mr.. Dale put up the king and
1t held. The jack was returned
and Mr.. Champion ducked again.
There followed an agonizing
wait while MI. Muzzy tried to
decide whether to overtake with
the queen. He finally did so and
returned another diamond which
Mr.. Champion won.
A heart was discarded from
the board and Mr.. Dale dropped
the deuce of spades. Mr. Cham
pion now planned to go after
the club suit. He led the deuce,
intending to play the ten from
dummy If Mr.. Muzzy had played
low on this trick, Mr.. Dale would
have won with the jack. But
Mr.. Champion would have won
any return and on the second
lead of clubs Mr.. Muzzy's king
would have fallen. The entire
club suit would then be good
and the defenders would be
through.
However, Mr.. MuzZy did not
play low on the first club lead.
He wanted to force the ace-so
he played the king. This had
devastating effect on Mr.. Cham
pion's plan. If he let the king
hold, Mr. Muzzy could rattle
off three diamond tricks.
If he won with the ace, Mr..
Dale still had the suit stopped
with the guarded jack. And, since
there were no quick entries to
dummy in the other suits, dunn
my could furnish exactly two
club winners.
Desperately, Mr.. Champion
won with the ace of clubs and
led the queen on the long chance
that the jack would drop. When
1t didn't he tried the spade
finesse. That lost, too, and down
he went.

POISON-French actress
Sarah Bernhardt once ap-
peared in a play in which
she had to make a long dra-
matte speech. While she was
thus occupied, the leading
man, standing behind her,
was to drink poison and fall
dead.
One night, in the middle
of her speech, she realized
that the audience was not
listening to her, but was
watching the leading man.
Instead of dying instantly.
he was taking his time. He
was writhing in pain and
mugging outrageouSly.
When the curtain fell,
Berhardt was in a cold rage.
That was a very touch
