aJ Ann' Jo to Bod him and bring
kins ham a. which was aomatlmaa
aulaance and aomatlmaa not. That
y It waa, because when person ta
..mfortably aettlad In a cool him
.och It la vary provoking to have to
--at ap and look for little brother.
Ami started off through the tardea,
.aat the barn, calling In her clear,
ringing voice: "CXarl-oel Charl-ee!"
Over the Balds aha went, the hot nil
making her golden hair ahine like the
dandelions In' the grass. Old Amos
was peacefully Erasing at the edge of
:iie meadow and Ann stopped to speak
to hi in.
Its was a little old donkey, who had
belonged ta the biggest brother when
the bigs brother was little. Now
Amos, sM and Cray, his ways more
set tliaa vr, waa being pensioned on
the farm. He was toe old to work,
too atuaboin for the children to drive,
and too runsy and nice to be sent
away. Ss there he stayed, brewing
loose In the clover field and trotting
home to his stall In the barn when he
tired of the field. Sometimes he
would follow the family about when
they worked or walked aronnd the
farm poking hts nose Into everything
sad waggtng hts ridiculous long ears
knowingly.
"Amos." said Ann. "I wish Charlie
had your common sense, then he'd
stsy where he was put."
Then through the patch of pine
- woods she went, calling and calling.
her crossness gradually beginning to
tarn to worry.
"He's gone farther than usual." she
aaid to herself, with, a perplexed,
anxious frown. "Ho always answers
when ho hears me. Where can he
be? Oh. Chsri-ee!"
No reply.
Charlie was only five but he was a
hold restless little fellow. Ann loved
him dearly though he tried her at
times, especially when he went oft or
when ha bragged which, she thought,
ho did s good de&L She paused- to
think. Where had he gone? Conld
ha had been kidnapped? Ann turned
pale at the very thought.
She hastened from'the woods to the
road, across to the other side where
there was a grassy bank snd a Illy
pond. "Could ho have fallen Into the
, pond?" she thought, looking anxious
ly 'Into the water. "Oh dear! Oh
desrr-
There was a high dam at one end
of the pond, over which tho water
sometimes poured. Now It was high I
and dry so Ann lightly ran over It to j
tho other side where there were more
woods.
"Charl-ee!"
Te-e-a" the welcome answer came.
"Ttp'thls wsv. Annie. I foun" a bean.
Ufut cave!"
Up the rocky bank scrambled Ann,
biting- her lips to keep from saying
something sharp.
"Look! See?" cried Charlie with
Pride, as he stood In the entrance of
a cave, which It seemed had been quite
covered tip with a mass of vines and
ousnes. "Do le's exp'ore!"
Ann thought that she and the biggest
brother had explored everything
around the place but she had never
before seen this cave. Sho ducked
her hend, holding tho vines aside and
followed her brother into the darkness
inside. .
"I've got a stick!" cried Charlie
boastfully. "No tigers better come
around!"
Ann felt like saying: "Don't brag
so!" but she didn't which was to her
credit.
They walked cautiously along feel.
Ing their way as they went.1 The cave
seemed to be getting wider and wider.
Charlie said; "This. is my cave. seeTj
much mora fun."
"I think so too," Charlie a treed
hastily.
They turned around and began to
walk back the way they had coma, but
the funny part of It was that there
was not a ray of light In the cave en
trance. Just as Ann waa wondsnn
about this her eyes made out a dim
form standing Just Inside the cave,
stopping up the entrance. She
squeezed Charlie's little kand and
made him stop. They stood pressed
against the wall and listened. Heavy
puffy breathing filled the dir. then they
heard a stealthy step.
"Oh. Charlie!" whispered Ann. "It's
a-a- wild beast!"
She did not kjiow what to do. She
was never so scared In hrr life, yet
sho was no coward. "We'll turn snd
go on through the cave," she whis
pered, ."there may be another opening
in the back somewhere."
But Charlie held back as she pulled
his hand.- - - S "v

'They Stood Pressed Against The Wart And Listened.
Isn't It Jolly?"
Just then they heard a funny little
scratchy sound, that rooted them to
the spot.
"We haven't any matches," whis
pered Ann. "Let's go out now and
some other time we'll roine and ex
plore with a lantprn. That would he
"I gat a big stick!" he whispered.
Ann had to drug htm by force. She
raced forward pulling her little broth
er alon? quite rfckiensly and as she
went she heard a pit-pat-pit-pat be
hind her, a sound of something follow
in? them. They went on for ever o
fur It 9pmivl to the frightened chil
dren when at last they caught a glim
mer of light borora them. There was
another opening! Ann hurried her
steps and went so fast she stumbled
snd fell fist, but sho was up again In
a minute racing toward the light They
reached It. A very smslj opening It
was In the rock. Ann looked through
and saw the old stone quarry far be
low.
. "Come, dear," she said. "You
squeeze through first." .
But, no. ha wouldn't. ."Ladles first:"
ho Insisted stoutly.
There waa ad time la areue with
him for the sounds behind were com
ing nearer and nearer. Ann threw
herself on her hands and Knees and
tried to wiggle through the opening
minute mat it was too
small. No matter how she struggled,
snd she did struggle fiercely until the
was bruised and her clothes torn, the
hole was Just too small. She backed
into the cave.
"1 can't get through," she panted.
"Ton. can. Tou must! you shall!
You can run and call somebody."
She seised her brother but he
slipped from her grasp like a slipper)
"I Isn't gonna leave you!"" he shout
ed. "I'm Isn't 'frald of ol' tigers! Hey.
you there!" His voice rose shrilly,
and to Ana's dismay he made a dash
Into tho cave, waving his stick "Git
outa here!" -
Tbey heard a wild scramble, then
the cave re-echoed with an awful roar.
It was perfectly deafening. Ann put
ker fingers In her ears. But she waf
laughing now, and so was Charlie for
they recognized that raucous voice.
"Amos!" shouted Ann. "You fol

Charlie. "I thought he waa a tiger

Two tablespoons lard working, to

water to make a soft dough. (Some

but be very carcrub mat the dough
Mays firm enough to .handle easily.)

Qrease a -muffin tin'of 18 rimes or 12
lart pans. ' , ; ,
Flour a rolling pin and board.
Drop one of the lumps onto the
floured board, roll thin and slip It into
a muffin ring. Do this with each lump
of dough till all twelve rings or pans
have a lining of dough.
Cut up rubarb Into small oleres and
fill each tart. The large stnlka that
grow lute in the summer will mnke
good tarts If the pieces are cut amntl.
Make each tart rounded full of fruit.

though even basswood mny be stslned
If considerable care Is tukca to get
all surfaces very smooth before the
stain Is applied, snd to rub the stain
off Imnicdlntety, Only s small amount
of stain should be applied at a time
otherwise It will sink rapidly Into the
pores or the wood, for basswood h

finish. If you are fortunate enough
o hive some walnut available, an ex
cepltonally attractive article can be
made. All that need be done for a
finish will be to apply boiled linseed

This method h.'ut been urged repeated

the suggestion will loe nothing in the
repetition. Examine tho drawing verv
carefully before attempting to lay out

to bore them. To do so It will be
necessary to place another piece of
stock next to etch ploce IB order to

When all the pieces are ahnped 's

THE STAMP ON YOUR LETTER
CO
11 y DID our forefathers write
L-xeeedinsIy small upon ail oc
casions? A hundred years ago
It cost twenty-five cents to
-viio: a letter more than 450 miles and
a Idler was defined as a single sheet
of pper. In order to leave out noth
ing of iioportr nee. fin penmanship
as necessary. . .
In those days no stamps were used
If the letter would travel under thirty
miles, the sender paid the postmaster
i cents aad that official marked th
letter wlih a word or symbol indicat
:ng compliance with the rules. Ten
eenls was chsrged for a distance less
than eighty miles, but more than
'hirty. The sender bad to take his
missive to a posicftVe and lhe recipient
had to go lo his postofflce and ruli
for bis mail, Js'ebody thought of cur
present delivery .system. '
Stamps were first l&sued In 1447; on
the third of March of -that year Con
gress authorised five-cent and ten-cent
denominations. - JIalf-ounce letters
were transported three hundred rnllex
or less for five cents or farther than
this limit for the sum of ten cents, t
A new rato went into effect in 1811
Letters were carried ss far as three
thousand miles for three cents or far
ther for six cents. Twelve years later
the regulations were amended so that
a message could be sent to any point
within the United Sates for three
cents, snd in USJ this amount was
reduced to two.
During the administration 'of Abra
ham L.lneolti i he system of free de
livery was int roductrd into our largeMi
cities. It grew uj ,'rvw, Tfteo some-
: Hung like a score of years ago. It -was
extended to farmers and other rl
dents of the country. And now letters
ars dropped right at your door.
when tha nation waa new, a aisn
astride a boras carried your letter to
its destination; or, perhaps, a stage
coach transported it. These methods
were displaced, by the ateum-drtven
train wlih special cars for the sorting
snd handling of tha mall. . Today the
aulo plays a prominent part and man
