'Tri° "Whsee Norio @tltTlRi4(Y /Pros Sallele the septet CHAPT1iR 'XLII,—(Cont'd.) "I'm Gaming," Hugo panted, as he eet his foot on the broken masonry and began to draw himself up. It was like a ladder for steepness, but not nearly so easy to climb, Tito, left de- serted at the bottom, sStt on his haunchesgazing up wistfully, his tongue lolling,his fat little body peev- ing' in quids pants. Tito's figure and size were against him. He was too small and corpulent to follow his mas- ter any farther, presently a dull sad sense of resentment topk posses- sion of him. This was a mean trick, if you like, leading him on to think they were going to do something heady and adventurous together and then abandoning him at the foot of an im- possible wall. "Come on, Tito," gasped Hugo, look- ing clown from the height he had achieved.. "Yon could manage it, old fellow, -if only you'd try." But Tito couldn't manage it, not in the very least: .XIe put his forepaws against the wall and began to scratch and cry. "All right. Stay where you are," said Hugo. "Little coward!" Jean' stirred and then drew herself up on one elbow, staring about blank- ly. It was very dark in the cave, but outside the air was filledwith ghostly white light. The fire had died down completely, and there was nothing' to see by as she felt her way towards the entrance. She all but stumbled over Gaunt, who slept soundly. There it was again -Tito, barking and howling in the same way he had wakened her the night Hugo pitched over the balcony.

But Hugo paid no more attention to her entreaties than he did to the little breeze that ruffled the ivy,.. • HELPFUL SEWING HINTS. The heavy 'part of Irish' crochet should not be discarded merely be- cause its mesh has become worn. It can still be used as an ornament for sofa pillows, bureau..scarfs.oe doilies. Cut away the mesh and baste: -the de- sign to the article on which you wish to applique it. Sew with fine thread over and over to material and then cut „away back within the outline. The ornaments should be arranged in an artistic manner and the article' finished` to correspond with the cro- chet. Monograms, which are so stylish at present, Can be made very attractive .on heavy material if • silver or gold thread is used. An old 'monogram' cut from a 'garment can be used as a model, and gold or silver cord, com- mercially known as bullion, is used. Procure the best quality and it will not tarnish or ruff even i -f used for years. You will also need gold and. silver thread which comes nirinbered, as sewing silk, and, is used in the same way. To make the monogram, outline the design in a contrasting 'color on the article to be embroidered. The bullion is but in the desired lengths and is. applied by sewing through the hollow part as in bead work. Study the effect produced by laying the pieces of bul- lion on . the material before sewing them, .thereby saving timeseDifferent lengths and arrangements produce different effects. When the design is. finished, remove the outline threads and press carefully with not too hot art -'iron, • When making' dresses with• kimono sleeves, stitch a straight piece of the material or a piece of tape the length. of the seam. This prevents the seam from tear- ing across under the arm and also keeps the sides of the garment from sagging.- . When making children's bloomers, stitch a piece of cloth, face to back;, on the 'fiat material, on the inside seams. It should ,extend. from the edge of the cloth toward the Centre about three inches, The portion of the garment near the inside scans is always the first part to wear out, and if it is made double at first it is a very simple matter to hem down the frayed edges. "- - By far the best material to use when padding• -scallops in embroidery is tubular corset lasing. Eyelet holes can be worked more easily if the cloth is laid over a piece of soap and the stiletto pushed through into the soap. The soap mattes a firmer ,foundations and when laundering -the article it helpe to remove the stamped outline. In order to use one stitching instead of two in French seams, place together the seams `to be sewed, having the right sides out, and then put them through the medium hemmer, This makes a good,neat,finish and strong enough for ordinary wear.

Therefore, the housewife should pro- vide herself with'' a good measuring cup, plainly marked: Por the purpose of keeping fine flour, sugar and other necessities,sho will find nothing more' satisfactorythan the various sizes of glass jars ansa dishes with tight- fitting covers. To make sauces and cereals every housewife needs a double boiler where' the upper section fits well into the kettle part. For cooking of puddings! she will find she obtains good results by using an earthenware dish.

In this, way. the fat can spread out, instead `of, -- jumping and burning her. Gem panes that have each section quite deep will bake better muffins, than those with shallow openings. PARTY FAVORS. Oftentimes the country woman gives little parties for her children, but it 18' sometimes impossible to get attractive' favors because there is no place near to buy them.

The bone: was eplin- tered in several fragments and one fragment had pierced the skin. .,She was carried down a winding stairway three flights, pat in the ambulance and taken to a hospital. At the hospital she 'was removed from the ambulance, carried on ,a stretcher, and pit in bed. At no time was the leg splinted until the dressing was applied in the oper- ating room. In getting her out of the house and down the winding stairway,: it was not Possible , to make use of the full length stretcher carried on• the arnbul- anee. 1°ortunately, `the woman'was conscious and mentally clear and she heldher foot in, position With her "I'll have to go up and fetch, him," muttered Gaunt, very grim. Jean clutched his sleeve. Again .Carlo exclaimed: "But you would be killed, signor!", "Tito, come"here,".Jean commanded. The little dog's clamor was most 'dis- concerting, : and deafened their at- tempt to claim Hugo's attention. But Tito was not to be silenced so easily. Ile was high up above their heads on the bank of rubbish and stones at the base of the tower wall. Carlo crawl- ed up to get him. Until that barking ceased it seemed impossible to Make Hugo hear. - Carlo threw a stone and a few choice words at Tito. There was a yelp and a whine, and the little dog came slithering down, grovelling on hands Otherwise, the jagged ends of his belly away from Carlo 'to seek the fractured bone would have done 'a shelter behind Jean's'rshirts.
