“Mr. Alwade. this is Melth. the cook.”
A - old Mrs. Watson spoke thus briefly,
Wallace Alwade turned partly around,
facing the small, delicate wonmn, whe
stood hut partially revealed in tlio shad¬
ows of the long, low-roofed shanty.
■For one instant* he stood gazing in¬

turned away without thinking deeply.
It was not likely that aii.airaotst- forgotten

heart of tha great pine woods.
A minute l-xter the jingle of rieigli-
1 k ills cut tlm frosty night uir.
"Well, lumber Air-. Wateoa, ,f. must be going,”
sard the dealer, turaing toward

Thus speaking the rich lumberman

Alwado turned hurriedly to depart.
As he did so his eyes caught sight- of a

Improved Iinwrovod Mortar Mortar ter Tor I I’lavterfiur lastering.
A new method of making mortar for
plaatering walls has beeu dovisol, which
is confidently said by those who are iu
fornwd as to it to be superior to ivy
other ever yet tried. Stucco or plasttv
of-paris is used instead of lime in mak
ing the mortar, one part of stucco, bv
measure, being tmed to two parts of sand,
No hair is used for tue first or ‘scrau-h’
&*at, and three coats of plastering are
put on. In mixing the stucco and sand
quart of glue and water is mixed, usedto and the pail
, ful of sand staceo then
clean water is added until the mortar is
of the right consistency. The mortar
must be used as soon as made, and oulv
daimn-id made in that small quantities will make at a harder, time. It w
it a mo to

To Make .Boys Happy,
Tuttle boys are particularly delighted
with woolen balls and knitted reins. The
balls are made on a large scale exactly
os are the little woolen tassels used for
hoods and baby socks. Take a perfectly
round piece of stout pasteboard just the
diamt ter yon want your ball to be. Out
a good-eizod circular hole in the center,
and with double zephyr of any color
thread (double) on a worsted needle go
over and over the card evenly all around
until the hole is so filled with wool vou
cannot force the needle through. Then
with sharp scissors clip, the wool nil
round the outer edge of the card, so that
the latter is exposed. Press the wool,
winch has expanded when cut into a ball,
away on one side so that you can slip a
very Stout but small twine around it
close-to .the card. Tie the twine ends
together as tightly and as firmly as pos¬
sible ; then cut and pull away the card
completely, and elastic! and you have a very pretty
bail. Trim the ball with
sharp scissors till completely smooth
and even.
For tire knitted reins take double
zephyr wool aad a pair of ivory knitting
needles. Oast on twenty sti.teh.es, ana
