"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.
"Hector," she said, bending down
and shaking hini, "where's Hugo?"s
Gaunt got up still heavy with alum -
her, and• they crouched along hand in
hand until they could stand upright
in the open.
"Oeh, look!" Jean cried in ti terrified
voice,
Gaunt followed the direction she
pointed.
There Was Hugo in the white moon;

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. Where

GOODiTO.OLS. ,
Good cookery depends upon the cor-
rect measuring of materials used.
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.

Oftentimes the country woman
gives little parties for her children,
but it 18' sometimes impossible to get

When Bones Are Broken.
A woman fell and broke a leg just
above the ankle. 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.

"Tito, come"here,".Jean commanded.
The little dog's clamor was most 'dis-
concerting, : and deafened their at-

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-

Carlo threw a stone and a few
choice words at Tito. There was a
yelp and a whine, and the little dog
