RUSTIC CHAIR
HIS is an excellent project
for rural and small town
schools where the members
'ot the "Handy Boy's" Club
"e can go into the woods and cut
their ,own. 'hickory, oak or other
hardwoodpoles, not white leireh.
The seat may be made of slats and.
the back of spindles instead of
SPItstS as in the sketoh. ' The
splints for this chair should cost
around sixty cents. The ,verlter
will send the address of the pinker
., of the splints upon receipt of self-
. 'addressed stamped envelepe.
Cut the poles for the chair in
the late fall and the bark will not
t, noel, Ont to about the right
1, length, lay out the holes carefully
and bore them, then lay the pieces
away for about eight weeks to
season, if they can be cut in quan-
tity and seasoned for a year, then
cut as wanted, better results may
be obtained. When ready to put
together Cut the dowels on the
ends of the rails or rounds, the
re. .front legs, the arms and the
• spindles. Make the dowele. .as
large as possible to allow thern to
be driven in the holes. Do not
use a dowel made like a .pencil
;;.
point, instead be sure that its sides
are parallel as at A.
'•!, The length given on the sketch
ee Is the distance between the legs
except as noted, hence allowance
must be made for ,the dowels as
directed on the.sketch. The length
given for the front legis correct,
as noted; .nete that the distances
betweeri the rounds is to the
•centers.
ye Assemble the ohair by putting
glue in the holes and driving to-
gether; be sure the their is square
every way it is viewed before set-
ing it away for the glue to harden.
To make the seat, wet the splints

ered with splints from side to side
and parallel with the front seat
rail. •To splice the splint drive
small tacks into the end rails or
rounds. Study the weave of the
sketch carefully, and the knack of
this type of seat weaving is not
hard to get. Remember that at
the beginning and ending of weav-
ing each splint, the splint must
pass , either under or over one or
two of the first splints, and that
in every case in" the middle •of
the seat after the first two
splints are passed,' the weaving is
over or under two; if it is over or
under one or three or more it is
wrong and shoUld be taken out
and reweven. Weave the under
side of the seat and the hack of
the back by the same method and
with the same care, for that is the
proof of the skill and care of the
one Who did the seating.
By following this type of con-
striiction an almost unlimited range
of designs of furniture may be
rnade.1 If a hollow auger la 'avail-
able for making the dowels 'the
1' work may be simplified.

Miss Jordan. an old school-.

Every day when it was nice, the
children were allowed on the
beach to play, and Miss Jordan
would sit down with a book, or
Mary Ca:say would bring her grape-
vine edging,whicli she had been
making for'years, and keep an eye
on the children while they played.
One day a stranger came to
where Donald and Dorothy were.
He was a boy about nine years old,
and he stood watching their play
with a little smile on his face, as
if he were saying: "Very nice but
childish!"
"Why don't you; go away and
make your own sand castles," said
"It's rude to

"Oh, I've made so many Bartel

boy.
"Well, if you haven't had
whooping -cough, you'd better go
away from us," said Dorothy.
• "I've had it," s'aid the boy. • "I've
had everything, measles,- mumps,
diphtheria', scarlet fever, chicken-
pox, water -on -the -knee."
"Well, then," 82,1d Donald, "come
on and play with us."
"I never play here," said the
strange boy. -
"Why not?" asked Dorothy.
"It's not, exciting enough," re-
plied the boy with a yawn.
Of course, the children wanted
to know where he did play, and
when he replied: "In the cave,"
they were filled with curiosity.
They had not known there was a
cav"We. e'll ask Miss Jordan and you
take us to it," said Donald, racing
up the beach to where his old
friend sat with her favorite book.

rowing onlookers they were led
away. Then Hippo:Penes arose and
begged leave to • try his fortune.
Atalanta's heart was filled with pity
for this ncibletyouth and She would
willingly have let him win the race
to save him from defeat and death,
but her friends urged her to rest
and make ready and to this with a
heavy heart she consented. And
while she rested Hippomenes pray-
ed to Venus: "Goddess of love,
give ear, and send me good speed.
Let me be swift to Win as T have
been swift to love her." In answer
to his prayer the gociaese wno was
not far from the scene of love
• came invisibly to his side and
slipped into his hand three golden
apples..
The signal was given and the fa:"
mous race began. Over the ground
fairly flew that noble youth and
lovely maiden. The onlookers
cheered Hippomenes and he gained
courage from their hopes, but, the
course was long and soon his feet
became heavy. Atalanta gained
upon him, passed and at that in-
sta,nt,Hippornenes tossed ohe of the
golden apples. Now who could re-
sist such a wondrous thing as a
golden apple? Atalanta stooped to
pick it up. Hippomenes ran on.
As he heard her gaining upon
him, again he tossed the second
apple, and soother moment was
lost to Atalanta. And now the race
was almost over.. Side by side they
ran, and then Hippomenes tossed
his lait golden apple. Atalanta fal-
tered, ran on, and then — she
stooped to . recover the glittering
thing, and Hippomenes touehed the
goal,. And so the race ended, But
Atalanta was not sorry. She was
glad to have such a valorous man
for her husband.

6 AMES and races now fill our
thoughts, and many of you
are contestants in relay races,
boat races, bicycle races and
so forth; but the race of which I
am going' to tell you was like none
of these. It was a, race for love
and the contestants wete the lovers.
Now that, no doubt, seems stratige
to you but I will tell why it was so.
Atalanta Was a beautiful maiden
who lived. in the long ago 'that is
half hidden by a veil of myth. Fair
was .she to the sight and the de-
sired of many suitors, but Atalanta
was resolved to live unwed. Be-
sides her lovliness Ata,lanta's fame
had spread because of her swift-
ness as a runner. In fact, she was
known far and wide as the swiftest
runner of her time, and so devising
a way to rid her of her suitors she
said that she would. marry only
that man who could outstrip her in
the race, but that all suitors who
were bold enough to compete with
her and failed mutt be put to death.
t -
New Atalanta was not really cruel
and she was sorely grieved when
she found that the suitors instead
of being discouraged, were more
determined than ever, and with a
sorrowing heart she set the date for
the race. Hipliomenes was chosen
to act as judge and as he sat
watching them before the word was
given to start, he wondered how
any man could be so foolish as to
risk his life merely to win a bride.
Then Atalanta appeared and. Hip-
pomenes font his wonder, So fair
and so lovely did the maiden ap-
pear that the judge found himself
envying 'the man who would be
lucky enough to Win the race. But
alas for the brave suitors, skilful
as they were. Atalanta far outdis-
tanced them and before the ser-

Donald Talked very eloudly, but
the moaning of the sea, or maybe
the wind, made Kiss Jordan's hear.
Ing ;duller than usual. She thought
he said: "lVlaY We go paddling in
the waves?" But what he said
was: ' "May we go exploring in
the cave?" So she said "yes," be-
cause it was quite a nice 'balmy day
with a land breeze.
Off ran Donald and Dorothy with
their new com.panion, who said his
name was Fisher.
They soon came td a big pile of
rocks towering above their heads,
which at high tide was partly cov-
ered with water. Up among the
rocks was a small hole into which
the new boy led thent When they
got clear inside, they found quite a
large cave, • very dark and myse
terious with a pool in the middle.
"The exciting part," explained
Fisher, "Is not getting caught in
here when the tide comes in, be-
cause if you do get caught in here,
You would either, get drowned, or
else you would have to hang your-
self up on the roof until the water
ebbed."
"Maybe we better go out now,"
said Dorothy, nervously.

He had heard the water hissing
along the small passage by which
they,had come, and now he pointed
to the floor which had. suddenlY
become covered with ' cold sea
water.
,"We can't go back," he said,
7we'1l have to find a place to hang
ourselves up."
"Maybe we can go on, said
Donald, in a scared voice.
They found another opening In
the cave higher than the one they
had crept through, so they stumbled
along it, feeling real scared now.
, "1 oughtn't to have let you come
in here," said Fisher, "We may,

"Well, I Certainly Don't Like It Here," Said Dorothy

cried too,, but he was pareful not_
to let Donald find it out. '
Meanwhile there was great ex-
citernent'above the ground. Miss
.Tordan had told the old gentleman
aboUt the boys, and he had tele-
phoned for the' Coast Guard at the
Lighthouse. Then he, had come out
with his hired man and a long rope
said Fisher. "You get a warning.
First you hear the water hissing
outside.' That's the first weeping.
Then there are several waves come
in. The first one is Usually real
little and only covers ,your feet.
You can easily get out before the
big ones get in." '
"I don't like it," said Dorothy.
"I guess I'll stay Outside and. watch.
When I 'see the waves coming, I'll
• ,.,
call you."
"You see there's a house on top
of thist,rock," said Fisher, "There's
a cross old man lives in the house,
and: he carries a cane with a gold
knob, and one time when I stayed
on the rock too long and got
chased up by the tide, he hit me
with the ca,ne." •
"Well, I certainly don't like it,
here," said Dorothy. "Let's 'go
back, Don."
ButDonald had no notion of go-
ing back yet. He liked excitement,
caves and. adventure. He almost
wished the old man with the cane,
would chase him over the rocks.
That's the way Donald was—afraid
of nothing. Dorothy was different.:
She went and sat on a rock outside
the cave and worried.
"The tido is corning In," she
called every once In awhile, but the
boys paid no attention to her.
Pretty .soon she heard the water
hiss and a waVe,urirolled itself at
her feet like at long carpet, one end
Of Which slid into the mouth of
the cave. She jumped up with a
little cry and putting her head into
the cave she called: "Denalcl!
Donald!" '
There was no teply, At . first
Dorothy felt like running into the
cave to warn the boys, then she
theught, "Fisher said they could

to try to do what he could to rescue
the boys.
They were hurrying out of the
house, when suddenly a head ap-
peared under the porch steps.
"Fisher!" cried Dorothy.
Fisher ducked back hastily when
he saw his old enemy, the gentle-
man with the cane, but the old
gentleman hastened down and
called: • "Come out, you scalawag!"
so fiercely; that Out came Fisher's
-head again.
"What are you, doing under my
porch?" shouted the old gentle-
man, shaking his cane.
"I don't khow, sir," replied the
boy.
• He came out very unwillingly,
and when he was asked where
Donald was he shook his head.
"He does know!" cried Dorothy.
"Oh, please, tell us, Elsher!"
Fisher •made no reply, but just
then another head came out froni
under the porch steps. You see,
Fisher was sure the old man was
going to use his cane and he
thought he had better not tell on
Donald.
When they had explained their
adventures and Donald had Said:
"We just went on and on until
we saw a bit of light. Then we
shoved away some rocks and earth
and found ourselves in a placp with
boards over our heads. When we
hear.% volces, we crept along and
here we are!"
• "I've lived here eighteen years
and never knew there was a cave
down under me!" exclaimed the
old gentleman.
He did not use his cane, and
seemed on the whole rather pleased
with the boys. They all went into
his house. which was full of curious
and 'interesting objects of _every
kind which the ol'd gentleman had
been collecting all his life.
"You may use the cave all you,
like," he .said, "but only at low
tide. In fact, I think I'd like to
go through it myself." 4
Later Fisher said to Donald:
"Now, isn't that queer! He's
quite jolly and.adts like a kid him-
self. Maybe lie was, chasing me for
fun that day!"
"Well, anyhow, he's given Miss
Jordan his grandfather's old eat -
trumpet, so I guess she'll knovr

Dorothy. •
