at bis sudden growth, asksd blm whst .
ba bad been .doing. He was resolvsd
tbat It should ba bis secret, and his

Hans , found that be could now work
much faster than before, but bis father
observing this, simply gave blm mors
shoes to mend. Then, too, now that he
had grown larger, bis appetlta had
arown also, and, ss his family were
poor, bs couldn't get nearly enough to
tat to satisfy him.
Without sufficient food Hans soon
found himself growing as tired as
ever he had been, '
"I'll drink some more from the bot

I'll be able to flo the work without '

Pretty soon bis shouts were rewarded '
by the appearance of Joe at bis side,
almost exhausted. , . ' .
They rested for a whlla,: and then. '
by their united efforts, succeeded In-
righting . the boat, and climbed into It
"I wonder how the other boat got "
throughf : W mnst have fortunately
struck an opening In the coral reefs'
that surround all these Islands, and eo -got

winds." - ' . . ,
Joe, who ' was balling energetically,
paused a moment to reply t "They ,
had tha earn ehanca as w did. Rn .
If they were thrown upon tbe reefs
nothing could savs them."
Thoroughly tired out, tha, two went
to sleep, nor did they awake until
dawn.
Ned was first to awake. He rubbed
bis eyes for a moment Then he sud
dently pounced upon Joe and shook
him roughly. - ,
"Look what's coming!" Ned exclaim
ed excitedly.
Joe looked, and was Instantly wide
awake, for paddling toward them waa
a large canoe filled with savages! ' -;
"Aren't they beauties, and don't they
look peaceable?" be murmured when
the hideous faces and the murderous
looking spears ' could bs seen dls-
tlnotly.
"Don't they, thoughr agreed Ned.
"But, say," he continued, "we've got
to make a bluff. Fold your arms and'

night as .their magle . worked best at
that time. To. this, the king assented.
, At the time appointed, the whole tribe
was at the cliff. Soon .the boys appear
ed, carrying- queer-shapfed skins. . fasU
ened to what looked like umbrellas.
Tbese, they said, wet to be.utid for.
carrying the precious stones.
After, again thanking the king and
whispering good-bye to each other, In
case the plan should fall, they made tha
'perilous lean. .,. ; , , . ..
' Fortunately ths parachutes served
their purpose, and, instead of - being'
dashed . to : pieces tbey reached tha
ground In safety. .
Then, under cover of the night," they :
f made for the beach. But It took a long
time to find their boat and to get soma
- of ths savages' paddles, so that it was
Just daybreak when they pushed off
from shore. Before going they had rig
ged up their skins as satis.
. Only a few rods from shore were they
when tba boat was discovered by tbe
savages, who. upon not finding them at
tbe base of the cliff, had been search
ing for them. Frantically they yelled
and waved their spears and then rushed "
for their canoea.
But the wind was filling the Impro
vised sails, and with swift strokes of
the paddles the lads were soon beyond
reach of tb savages. .
As good fortune would have It, they
were not far from Pindargogo. The
wind and weather were all that could
be desired, so tbey made the Island
without mishap. .

swam to feed upon the Crumbs ths lit

Oh. It. was so .funny to see all ,tha

Judith was surs that be was saying,
"Thank you," aa plain aa plain could
be, even though be couldn't speak ,i

- Judith laughed and laughed When aha
told me bow aha had shown her' new
parasol to the oans.
It was a beautiful parasol, so that It
was but natural that Judith should
wish to snow It to ber favorite pets, ,
especially Whltey.
Raising the pretty' parasol, JuUth
proudly strolled down to tbe pond.
She thought It funny, a. she neared -the
water, that Whltey or the other
sv.ans did not swim toward her, as
usual But she wet more surprised

But It Mary ware at all ashamsd of

when she mat ber at the railroad sta. .
tlon. . Jessie really looked so nice and
fresh and chssrlul that no one but
would bars been glad to own ber for
a eo jain. And In the matter of clothes,
there waa also a surprise In store for
Mary; as Jessie was quit stylishly
dressed.. Jessie 'spoiled It all, how
avar, by aaying, in return to Marys
compliment, tbst mother had "followed
a city pattern pretty closely?' .
A week later Mr. Graham was talk
ing .to Mrs. Graham. "Have you no-.
tlosd." said be. "bow much brighter '
the household baa grown sines Jessie
eamer
"Indeed. I have," quickly replied1 Mrs. '
Graham, who was an invalid; "there is
no one like her to relieve my "pain and
glvs ms nice little attentions."
Truly, everything was much mora
pleasant since Jessie bad come. Her
uncle's slippers wers always ready for
him, and ah aided 'hla comfort In a
great many little ways. Bobby and
j an vi, toe iwina, woo . were always
- fighting one another, grew almost
peaceable. Bobby, In particular, had
been left quite to himself ever since
Mrs. Graham had become an Invalid, ,
and It was very nice to have some on ,
take an interest in him and comfort , '
blm when be fell downstairs which
happened three or four times a dsy
and -to-sympathise - with blm at all
times, t was something ba wasn't
used to.
Heretofore, when Harry lost a but.
ton from bis clothes or had a tear to
be mended, he waited his a la tar's conve
nience. He was decidedly grateful now
that Jessie undertook to do such mend
ing even without his requesting It
Even grandma could not say enough
- In praise of the little girl. Jessie listen
ed with eagerness to tlie stories of .
long ago, which Mary pronounced so
"tlresoms," and when dear, old grapd
ma felt a little out of sorts, aa some
times happened, no one could cheer ber
like Jessie.
Mary, too, grew Into tb bablt of run

occasions, even In matters regarding
dress, for shs soon found that Jessio
had good tssts in such things In spit
of ths fact that shs earn from wow

It lacked but a few days of ths time
Jessie wss to return boms. "By ' th

with some of the girls to make up a
party to go to tb theater this after
poon." .
"I'm sorry." replied Jjessls, ' "but I've

"Nonsense! the little beggars can go
any time. You'd bo bothered half to
death with them."
But Jessie still Insisted that shs would
bold to bar promise, and Mary left u
a huff. . . , - - ;
That afternoon, ss Jessis wss leaving

by Harry, just returned from soma ad
venturous trip.

As for Mary, sbs could bardly believe
Harry, who bad always scoffed, .at such
excurslonsl She had not at all en.
joyed herself at the theater; eh had a
bad headache, and she said a few bitter
words tbat wounded J etuis deeply and
angered Harry to such an extent that
he wouldn't speak to bis sister for a.
week. But when Mary thought It all
over, she told Jessie she Was sorry for
what sbe had said, and the two "mad .

At last Jessie bad gone. On and all

IT 13 notat all .difficult to s. build a
I punt This sort of boat, with ths
I flat bottom, is safest, too, as if
.annot be readily overturned. Another:
id vantage it has Is that it may be
red from either end. and the over

KiMjj Shows a. punt fifteen feet long,
i'ween ' Inches deep, and four feet
Xtde. The ends are cut. Under twenty
iichei. At one and a skag and rudder
isn be attached, as shown In Fig. 1.
For each side, two boards are used,
ne of six and the Other of twelve-inch
vtdth. The twelve-inch board is used
the lower one. Fig. A shows bow the.
sawds ara fastened together by bat
,i nailed lnslds.tbs boat at tbs old

ends of the middle battens, which should
be six Inches wide, are driven tha row

Ths planking for ths bottom of ths
boat should be four or five Inches wide,
i It is nailed to the edges of ths side,
. and to a keel strip, which, as Is shown
, In Fig. Z, runs tbe length of ths boat
Use only galvanised nails. - ' "
In building your punt use, only tbs
' dry est wood. Smear white lead and on
this spread one or two thicknesses of
.lamp-wicking along ths edges of the
sides before the bottom planking is laid
on. Between tbe edges of the planking
' also put white lead and wicklng. In this
way your boat will be, completely
