His father was superintendent of ;the little village Sunday School and the family lived two miles out of Monterey on a comfortable farm. Vera, Winston' sister, was Just kneading- the dough of her mother's week's baklnr when In he burst. 7 Vera." he g-aaped. "the Bests' house was broken Into last night and their silver was stolen and five dolUis which was hidden In a vase" ''Mr g-oodness!" exclaimed Vera, holding- up her doug-hy hands. "Did they catch the robber?" "The sheriff's rone off on a clue." replied Winston, "but he ta off the trait I know because as I was coming- home through stock's woods I saw three strangers tough-looking fellers sneaking up In this direction. They didn't see me. I hustled as fast as I could to warn you and Dad and Mummy. Where Is Dad? I didn't see him In the field." 'H ul Mummv took the car to HartavtUa." said Vera. "And.

"I'll have a took In that box!" tne that. See this string? It's tied to lighted lamp set on a flower pot with straw soaked with kerosene scattered all around. I Just pull the string and In a minute the barn will be on Are." The kitchen was a large old-fasb-toned one with a big built-in stove and a huge wood-box. - Winston's eye, fell on the box. j "Come on." he -said, "let's hlde. They crouched waiting and listen-1 Ing as the minutes slowly ticked by i bread filled the air. - "Wish they'd hurry up and come. If they're going to." muttered Win- j ston. and he would have come out of i -Oeaf-wa- " ehan we del exclaimed Vera. "There "lasnt teen a thief In Monterey for o long I don't believe anybody has a key. Any way. we haven't That latch on our front door wouldn't keep a Jack rabbit out." ' "We must signal for help." Winston aid. "Oh. I have Itt The old barn. ,' Dad was saying he wished It would I catch on fire as it's an eyesore. IH j fire It. It'll bring every body for mile around." "But s'pose the robbers don't come after all." objected thrifty Vera. "All ' that rood kindling would go to waste." "111 fix that," said her brother, and lapping his cap on he slammed out of tlje house. Ma sooner had he gone then Vera 1 had an Idea. . She ran to her father's desk-with a can ofiener In her hand. The desk was rickety and the lock old so It was-not difficult to pry open the drawer and take out the mite-box money.' Such a heap of It! All In nickels and dimes and quarters the savings of the children. It was tied . np In several little bags. Vera car ried It to the kitchen. The dough was made Into four big loaves and two little ones. She open ed each loaf and dividing the money hid It In . the loaves. She had barely gotten her baking Into the oven when the deor opened and Winston came in. "They're coming." he said, bending down by the door and arranging their hldlnv-place If Vera bad not begged him to wait. An hour went by and Winston raised the lid csntlous'y and stuck out his head. Then what was hla horror to find himself looking right Into the face of one of the strangers he had seen before. "Hello!" cried the astonished man. "Wot you doln' thar?" As Vera shrank back at the sound of the rough voice, her brother sprang from the box and fastened down the lid. Out stepped Vera, pale but calm. She took a cloth and opened the oven and took out her crisp, brown loaves, while the robber stared In astonish ment. Presently footsteps approached and from the next room two other men came. "Find anything?" asked the first stranger. "Nope, not a trace." was the reply. The first stranger suddenly seised Winston roughly by the collar and de manded fiercely: "Where have you hid It ?" i .v "He doesn't know," cried Vera. "He don't, eh?" said the man. "Well, mebbe you do." . "Mebbe." retorted Vera, her eyes flashing. "Now. my girl." he said kindly, "maybe you'd like a reward." "What do you take me tor?" she cried. "Oh. well," replied the robber, "we'll find It anyway. You've helped us a lot by admitting tt was here." Vera turned pale as ho took the I bread knife and eyed her loaves. "May rasw r"wt iati f tim i mi u I wwmm Jff It ' ' f r 1 I?" he asked. "They look so good!" suddenly she noticed thai-las air was full of smoke. The old barn was burning. The robber cut a thick, generous slice, and then dropped the knife. "Why. look at that!" he exclaimed and the others crowded about him. . Just then the kitchen door was pushed open and the head of a neigh bor was poked In. s.' .' "We'll form a bucket brigade axed savo the old barn." he shouted. "Never mind the barn!" cried Win ston. "Nab these men. They're rob bers.". In rushed the man. followed by others, when one of the strangers waved a paper and shouted: "Walt! Here's my search warrant. I'm a Federal officer. " , .'; "Well, what are you doing here?" demanded Winston. ... "We were told that this was a moonshine place." replied the man," and that there was a still hidden here. This girl admitted she knew where the stuff was hidden." "Nonsense."' cried the neighbor. "This Is Mr. Fowler's house and he's the Sunday School superintendent. You're on the wrong track, friend." The man looked decidedly sheepish and so did Vera as she exDlalned: I - t thought you were after the mite box money." - At that all three men threw back their heads and laughed and Just then in walked Mr. Fowler himself. - The Are burned up the old bam but nohody cared. The sheriff caught the real robber after an exciting chase, and everybody in Monterey bought a lock or two. But If you want to make Vera-real, mad Just wink and say: "Mite-box money." It surely makes her sore! Toys F.nd Use-pul ftRTicLt-s . TRRT ft BOY CRN NftKlr. DY PR.RNK I.SOLFkR "They're Coming," He Said W JUNIOR COOK , . CLAM CHOWDER Cut 4 strips of bacon Into small pieces.

Now probably many would like to try their bund at caning for It Is very lntrest- ln. n 1. k... V V ,h... n MnlL So this time you find the drawing of a fireside bench which If you were to buy, would cost from twenty-nve to thirty dollars, but Is not too dlfllonlt for any careful worker to make. The bench requires very little material and as all the parts are put together with simple dowel Joints anyone who can square up the end of a piece of stock will find no trouble In making this piece. If the bench Is to be stained and varnished, oak. gum or wslnut may be used, but it wlU.looK well enameled Ivory, white or gray, and In this cass can be made of cheaper material. Make out your bill of stock and Ihea start work by getting out the legs. They are one and one-half In. square and 17 In. long. Locate places for boring holes for three-eighths In. dowel pins and bore three-eighths la. holea Note that the aide and end rails are not located In the center of the leg but the spreaders are. Now decide which design of leg yon wish to make. The detail at A shows the leg tapered, this is done with the plane. At B the leg Is modeled, this is not so easy to do but Is much better looking when finished. - If you decide on B. layout tines with a pencil and square for the chamfer and the beginning of the curve. Place two legs together aa shown and clump In the vise, bare a three-eighths In. hole. only one-eighth In. deep to start the modeling. If It were possible to bore from each side of the leg and have the holes meet exactly It would be suggested to bore deeper but as this has been found almost Impossible to do. It la suggested that holes be bored Just ons-elgth In. deep on esch side of the leg and the msterlal worked out with a coping saw, chisel rat tail, and half round files. Finish with coarse snd fine sandpaper. Make side and end rails. With a marking gaga score Unas on the ends on which to locate the holes for dowel pins. Clamp the rail and leg In the vise so lines can be scored across the end of Ihe rail with the square, lo cating the hole on the end of the rail In line with those made In the leg. Be sure to have someone sight for you while boring so you will get the holes at right angles to the surfaces In which you are boring. If the holes are not straight the dowel pins wlH keej the pieces from fitting totf.hcr vlt'a out a crack. , Make the spreaders an1 Join '.h same as the rails except.tnat cnl- (. dowel pin Is required. The streich. connecting -the spreaders can be fas tened witn, two dowels but It Is sug gested that a mortise and tenon Joint be used. The four pieces In the top are ta be joined with dowel pins also. The top is fastened to the rails as shown with screws. Before fastening the top In place cut the corners to allow the cane to pans through the corner holes freely. After all parts are finished and fitted together cover the ' eurfaces to be Joined and the dowel pins with glue and clamp till glue sets. If you have no clamps for this purpose maka some by nailing blocks to pieces of board, place work between blocks and clamp by driving wedges between blocks and work. Do not attempt to glue all parts at once. Qlue ends first and after the glue has set finish the Job by gluing the other parts, i Sandpaper all parts, be sure to re move any glue that has run out of the Joints. Stain and finish with var nish, or enamel and when thoroughly dry, cane the seat , aa previously In structed. V SERMON HEARD BY WIRELESS STOCKTOS:, Calif., Sept. 29. (A. P.) Rev. J. M. Skinner.

During this period Goodyear has been able steadily to increase the amount of mileage built into its tires and, consequently, the cost of Goodyear mileage has actually declined. In no part of the Goodyear line has this decline been more marked than in the present 30 x 3-30 x 3V2- and 31 x 4-inch sizes of Goodyear Tires, made especially for small cars.
