rSANCIS ROLT-WHEELER.
When a bundh of fellows starts
out into the woods, they ought to
know trail signs. There are a num
ber of these, and no boy can use
sexier manual than Dan Beard's
book, recently noted in these
columns.
But everybody can't know all the
signs, nor are all of them necessary.
So the gang ought to get together,
pick out 20 or 30 of the most im
portant signs and learji these thor
oughly. Then, if the last chap iiv
camp Das to go away for some rea
son, he can leave a message stating
why. Or, on the trail, signs may
be made for the fellows following.
There a,re half a dozen different
groups of marks. There are the

stick signs. A stick stuck diag
onally in the ground is a trail point
er the free end showing the way.
if an upright is near the free end
of the stick, it means that camp is
a long way ahead; if near the
grounded end of the stick,' it tells
that camp is near. With stones, a
small stone on top of a larger one
shows the trail r if with a third stone
to right or left, it shows a turning.
With a grass sign, a bunch tied
shows the trail, the tied part bent
to right or left shows change of
direction. .
A fellow should always remember
that three of anything stands for
danger, three tied tufts of grass,
three blaze marks on a tree, three
smokes, three shots or a tripod. If
a piece of bark hangs from- the
tripod it is a sign ot sickness; it a
piece of branch, with a ring of bark
entirely removed, is hanging, it
signifies starvation. Another sign
tor hunger, in cnaiK, is a man witn
a black dash across the stomach.
An arrow shows direction, with a
circle it means stop, with an obling
attached, it means that a letter has
been cached three paces away.
Signs for rivers, woods,, bridges,
camps and thelike are very useful.
Use the recognized signs, and such
trail talk becomes a valuable piece
of woods knowledge.

A Water-Glass.
GRANT M. HYDE.
."I wish I could make a glass-bottomed
boat, Uncle Bob, so that I
sould watch the fishes under the wa
ter in the lake. Do you suppose I
could make a glass peek-hole in our
boat?"
"I wouldn't advise you to try it.
Unless you use very heavy and
tough glass, which is hard to get,
you'd run a good chance of smash
ing it. And, even. then,. I doubt if
you're handy enough with tools to
make a window" which wouldn't leak.
That's a bit too, dangerous to try.
."There's another way to watch un-der-water
life, though. Make a
water-glass. The reason why you
can't see down into the water, when
you sit in a boat, is because water is
I'M THE GUY!
By R. H. ALLIE.
I'M THE GUY, the male flirt,
who seats himself beside a girl
when there are plenty of other empty
seats.
Why shouldn't 1? "
She s good looking. I want to
know her. vThat's as good a scat as
any other. '
Besides, what difference does it
make? How do I know she doesn't
want me to sit there, or that she
objects? Just because there are
other seats vacant is no reason why.
I should not take this one. The
chances are that's why she seated
herself there with an empty seat
beside her.
Anyway, that's what I always do.
I find" most of the girls like it, or
tlon't mind in any way. And that
gives me a chance to do a little
flirting.
If you don't like it, that's your
worry, not mine. So long as there's
a good looking girl around and an
empty seat beside her, I'll take it.
If you object, don't look, take it
yourself or forget what I do.
That's how 1 feel about it.

"A water-glass is a long narrow
box with a glass window in the
lower end. To make it, use pine
boards about one-half inch ick,
four of them, seven inches wide by
three feet lpng. Plane the edges at
an angle to make a mitred joint and
fit some strips of cloth or rubber
into the joints before you nail them
together. They should be water
tight. Then get a piece of glass six
and one-half inches square. This
will give you room to drive in large
headed tacks around the edges of
the glass to hold it -in position. Make
the glass end watertight by placing
strips of surgeon's "adhesive tape or
plasteralong the edges of the glass,
lapping over both glass and wood.
Then fill the joints in the wood with
white lead, and give the whole a
couple of coats of good paint to
keep it from soaking up water.
. "Wjien you go out in your boat,
you can stick the water-glass over
the side, and leaning over, watch
the fishes to your heart's content.
Be sure to sit near the end of the
boat to keep it from tipping over
when you lean over the side."

How Harry and Lillian Underwood
Met Again.
Harry Underwood reached Lil
lian's side just in time. The mo
ment's respite given her by Alice
Holcombe and me had enabled her
to dodge to the other side of Jake
Wilsey, but he had whirled and in
another second the loaded billy
would have descended upon her
head with all the force of a desper
ate murderer's arm behind it. It
never did descend, however, for the
arm was caught in Harry Under
wood's powerful grip, the billy
twisted out of his hand, and the man
himself flung to his knees. '".
He was strong and powerful, how
ever, and as desperate as a cornered
rat. He clutched at his adversary as
he was falling, and the next minute
the two men were locked in a catch-as-catch-can
fight.
"Get out of here, girls," Harry
Underwood called out as debonairly
as if he bad- been dancing a fox
trot, "and give me room to swing
this cat by its tail."
- We lost no time in obeying him,
passing Robert Savarin as we did
so, who-stood just in the doorway,
watching, the struggle with folded
arms. -v I knew by his face that of the
two men struggling in combat he
would almost rather see the victory
go to the desperado who had at
tempted Lillian's life, than to the
man who- had made of it a living
hell.
"Madge!" .
Lillian's voice sounded faintly in
niy ears as though it came from a
long way off, and yet she was stand
ing very near me. I turned to her
and was just in time to catch her as
she swayed toward me. She was
perilously near swooning, she, whose
pulses rarely wavered from their
steady, regular beat. .For a moment
I thought she had fainted, but in a
moment she had whipped herself
back to consciousness.
Their Greeting. ;
"Let me sit down," he whispered
with lips from which every vestige
of color had been drained. "There,
on that tree stump."
Alice Holcombe and I half led,
half carried her to the stump close
beside us, and it was there a few
seconds later that Harry' Under
wood dragged the "man whom hi
had just pummelled into tractabil
ity. "He isn't a very pretty sight for
ladies, Lil," he said easily, "but such
as he is I make you a present of
him. What do you want done with
him? Shall I boil him in oil, or
throw him in the lake?"
This was the greeting of husband
to wife after, all the misery that lay
between them, after Lillian's sacri
fice for him. But it was distinctly
characteristic of the man who tower
ed above her, holding with one hand
the thoroughly cowed Wilsey,
Lillian looked up at him, with
bloodless face and despairing eyes.
A man of duller perceptions than
Harry Underwood would have seen
how terror-stricken she was at the
prospect of his coming back into her
life. But her twisted hps smiled
bravely, her voice was controlled.
Harry Underwood's Statement
"Thank you, Harry." she said
easily. "It, was touch and go with
me when you happened along. And
you might as well let the man go.
You . know what to - expect, don't
you, if you don't keep your mouth
shut?" She addressed the roan
sternly. "If you doubt my ability
to keep my -word, you might im-
press this upon your memory."
She drew the little insignia of
her rank in the service from . her
dress and held it for a moment, be
fore Wilsey's eyes. Into the man's,
face came astonishment, fear and
humility.
v Oeel he said expressively. - ',
''Exactly," Lillian retorted."Now
go."
Wilsey scrambled to his feet and
tlunk off down the path." Harry
Underwood remained standing be
side Lillian, watching curiously. At.
one side, Robert Savarin with the
bitterness of death in his face,
watched them with wrath and hu
miliation. I , could guess -his an
guish, at being compelled to stand
aside, an older, weaker man, while
Harry Underwoo-d tescued the
woman he. loved from death.
"It strikes me, old girl, that you
aren't swooning with joy at seeing'
me," he drawled at last.
Lillian ' raised her eyes to him
bravely. ,
"You are welcome, Harry." she
said slowly. "And T still stick to
what I wrote you. If if you- wish
to hgin over again if if you
vvatit me. I will do my share."
Her husband shot . a glance of
gratified ' malice at the artist to
whose ears the words must have
beep torture. It was the first inti
mation I had had that he knew who
the other man was. s.
"Lord love you girl,, he said
loudly. "I don't, want you. nor do
you want me. I believe I did write
some such mush when I was hold
ing haTrds with Old Man Death over
in France. There were a lot of
similar death-bed repentances about
that time. But well since then

Dutch Twins Go Skating.
Not many days after Kit and Kat
got their skates, there came a cold,
cold wind. It blew over the fields
and over the canals all day and all
night, long; and in the morning,
when the Twins looked out. the ca
nal was one shining roadway of
ice. '
Father Vedder came Ln from the
stable with a great pail full of milk.
"Winter is here now, for good
and all," he said, and he set the
pail down. "The canals are frozen
over, and soon it will be the day
for the feast of St. Nicholas."
Kit and Kat ran to him and said,
both together:
"Dear Fatter Vedder, will you
please teach, us to, skate Before St.
"I'll see if the ice is strong
enough to bear," said Father Ved
der; and he went right down to the
canal to see, that very minute.
When he came in, he said:
"Yes, the ice is stroug; and we
will go out as pon as you are
ready, and try your skates."
Vrouw Vedder said. :
"I should like to go. too;", aifd
Father Vedder said to Kit and Kat:
"Your mother used to be the fin
est skater in the whole village when
she was a young girl. You must not
let her beat you."
They hurried through with their
work Kit and Kat helped. Then
they all put on their heavy shoes
and wraps took their skates over
their shoulders, and started for the
canal.
"If . you . learn V to skate well
enough, we will take you to town
before the feast of St. Nicholas."
said Father Vedder,. "But it comes
very fcoon'v:
' He put on his own skates and
Kit's, and tlie mother put on her
own and Kat's.
"I'm sure we can do it almost
right away," said Kat
"Now we'll show you -how to
skate," said Father Vedder. He
stood the Twins up on the ice. They

If you will examine the pic

while the head remains station
aryyou will note that the eyes
have been painted or photo
graphed looking straight out. In
other words the subject vy-as posed
so that he was looking directly at
the camera or artist and the eyes,

How the CMC Dealer
Backs Up the GMC Truck
Recently a business man in the market for motor trucks came to us ,
and said, "I'm in the market for motor trucks, but I would like to see
first the plant of the local organization through which I am to buy. my
equipment." 1 . f t, N
The man was shown through our place our service station, stock
room and offices. He saw our complete, equipment; he saw an invest .
ment in GMC parts representing thousands of dollars; he saw a Smoothly
working organization, maintained for the benefit of GMC owners and
when he returned to the salesroom, he said :
"This is the kind of organization I want behind the trucks I buy."
Tieups are costly. Time lost in waiting for parts, equipment or ;
repairs means big entries on the expense side of the operating cost '
accounts.
