If the cellar is not cool enough a pit may be dug four to six feet below cellar floor level and cemented on the bottom and sides. With this device the housewife will be spared many trips up and down the cellar steps. [Truth to tell, there is no great gulf fixed between us and the children; they are men and women in very small editions. and what we enjoy or dislike is apt to affect the children in the same way. If we do not enjoy orders, 1 we cannot reasonably expect the chil- ‘dren to do so. Such a waiter can be put into a kit. chen already built. Construct it in such a manner that when the waiter is lowered into the cellar the four corner posts, attached to the bottom of the dumb-waiter, will rest on the cellar ftoor. Thus the bottom of the dumb-waiter will be a few feet up from the collar floor. The top of the waiter reaches the kitchen floor and should be finished the same as the kitchen floor. Thus when the waiter is in the cellar the top fills, the kitchen floor opening. A labor-saving built-in fixture that should be found in many homes is the dumb-waiter. " the cellar is cool I dumb-waiter operating between the kitchen and cellar is not only a great step-sas er, but to a certain extent it will take the place of an ice box. Quite naturally the children do not enjoy ordsrs. It doesn't take much study to acquire the habit of putting our requests in a pleasant way 1nd it means all the difference between cheerful and reluctant obedience. "Help mother do this, will you, please?" has a note of companionship wholly lacking in an order to "eome instantly and do this work." "If we ore going to have time for a story we'll have to hustle and set this room in order," adds joy and anticipation to a task that is made hateful by I sharp "Put every one of those toys where they belong and be quick about it." "Let's see if you can do this," holds a challenge and an opportunity to show off that is almost invariably ac- cepted cheerfully by little folks. And whatever their motive, the children acquire a habit of cheerful obedience that is of great value. A POPULAR STYLE FOR THE "LITTLE MAN" Mmard’s Univ-MM for Dandruff.

They passed us and con- tinued to our left, now hid by'a jut- ting chimney, now clear to view against the sky line.

I spared a moment to 'ook round, and thirty yards off, across the street, I saw a weird spttetaele. He hurried us along the ledge for a bit and then went back, and with snow from the corners covered our trucks. After that he went straight on himself, taking strange short steps like a bird. I saw his game. He want- ed to lead our pursuers after him, and he had to multiply the tracks, and trust to Stumm’s fellows not spotting that they all were made by one man, But I had quite enough to think 0. in getting Blenkiron along that ledge. He was pretty nearly foundered,"he was in a sweat of terror, and as a matter of fact he was taking one of the biggest risks of his life, for we had no rope and his neck depended on him- self. I could hear him invoking some unknown deity called Holy Mike.

Presently we came to a big drop, with a kind of ladder down it, and at the foot a shallow ledge running to the left into a pit of darkness. Hussin gripped my arm and pointed down it, "Follow it," he whispered, "and you will reach a ryof which spans a street.

He led us at a smart pace from one roof to another, for here they were all of the same height, and only low parapets and screens divided them. We never saw a soul, for a winter's night is not the time you choose to saunter on your housetop. I kept my ears' open for trouble behind us, and in about five minutes I heard it. A riot of voices broke out, with one louder than the rest, and, looking back, I saw lanterns waving. Stumm had realized his loss and found the tracks of the thief. I guessed he had gone to have a look at his prisoners, in which case the show was up. But what f11led my mind was an insane desire to get a sight of his map. It was one of those mad impulses which utterly cloud right reason, a thing independent of any plan, a crazy leap in the dark. But it was so strong that I would have pulled that window out by its frame, if need be, to get tothat table. Some imp prompted me to wait he.. hind and explore.

We were hurried, Blenkiron only half awake, into an outbuilding, and then down some steps to a roomy cel- lar. There Hussin lit a lantern, which showed what had once been a store- house for fruit. Old husks still strew- ed the floor and the place smelt of apples. Straw had been piled in cor- nrs for beds, and there was a rude table, and a divan of boards covered with sheeps_kins. _ - To-day I have lived deeply, On currents strong and free As those that sweep the ocean This day has carried me. Or luring prosts of laughter Down dun forgotten ways Where light winds stir the ashes Of buried yesterdays. When I awoke it was still dark. The wagon had stopped in a courtyard which seemed to be shaded by great trees. The snow lay deeper here, and by the feel of the air we had left the city behind and climbed to higher ground. There were big buildings on one side, and on the other what looked like the lift of a hill. No lights were shown, The place was in profound gloom, but I felt the presence near me of others besides Hussin and the driver. Some days one touches lightly As seagulls touch the foam.

To the accompaniment of Blenk- iron's chuckles I did what Peter had done in the first minute, and fell asleep. _ "Say, Major," he gasped, "I don't usually cherish dislikes for my fellow men, but somehow I didn't cotton to Colonel Stumm.

Peter and I lift, ed Blenkiron into the cart, and scrambled in beside him, and I never felt anything more blessed than the warmth and softness of that place after the frosty roofs.

Incidentally, gardeners aboard ship learn a lot about plants which no amount ot land life would teach them, especially regarding their qualities as sailors.
