/ seén before being seen himself. Sammy Jay Is True to His - Word. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. Who to his spoken word is true Respect wifl have whate'er he do. 5 Sammy Jay. Sammy Jay flew straight over to where Peter Rabbit had said he would find the poor Young Heron fast in & trap on the edge of the Laughing Brook. Sammy made no sound. He belleves in seeing aM that can be It , didn’t take him a minute to see that ' things-were just as Peter had told him. He knew that Peter was right; that none of the forest orymeadow people could possibly get that cruel off that young Heron's foot. ‘armer Brown's Boy is his only ehance for life,” thought Sammy. “FARMER BROWN'S BOY WAS AT WORK THERE YESTERDAY, THOUGHT HE. “Peter is right about that. . thing! The poor thing! That trap must hurt dreadfully. Whoever set it ought to be caught in it just to learn what it is like. Well, Sammy Jay, it looks as if you are the only one who can do anything to get that Youngster out of his trouble, and the sooner you go about it the better. Sammy spread his blue wings and flew away without being seen by the young Heron or his mother, Mrs. | Longlegs. He had decided that it would be best not to show himself. “It might add to their worries,” muttered Sammy, which was very thoughtful ‘The poor | | haven't the best name eve; m Krll'med at the thought of his bad name, but didn’t seem at all disturbed about it. stopped in the top of the tallest tree and eagerly looked across to Farmer Brown's cornfield. Now, as you- know, Sammy Jay's eyes are very, very sharp and, it didn’t take him two minutes to make sure that no ohe was in that cornfield. He was disap- pointed, very much disappointed. “Farmer Brown's Boy was at work there yesterday,” thought he. ‘“He worked there all day. I wonder if he is all through ghere. If he is, there won’t be mucl ope for that poor young Heron. h, dear! Thisds too bad. It certainly is too bad.” Then he remembered that it was still early in the day. Perhaps if he were patient Farmer Brown's Boy would come a little later. So Sammy Hled about for something to eat then perched in the top of the tree to which and walt and be As patient as he ofuld. Sammy can be !as patient ag anybody in all tge Green | Forest or on ail the Green Meadoys when he is trying to find out some- thing that he is interessed in. But to sit waiting for some one, not knowing whether or not he will come, is the hardest test of patience of which, I know. Sammy found it so. He fidgeted and fidgeted. A dozen times he was on the edge of giving up and leaving that poor young Heron to his fate. Then he would think how terrible it ‘was to be caught in a trap and would try to be patient. But at last it be- came so late in the morning that Sammy made up his mind that Farm- er Brown's Boy wasn't coming down to-the cornfield that day. “It is of no use to v\all any longer,” thought Sammy. “He isn’t coming and 1 am just wasting time for nothing. I may just as well give up now as later.” And just then he spied some one coming down the Long Lane toward the Green Meadows. One good look was enough. It was Farmer Brown's Boy! Sammy's bright eyes sparkled. He kept quiet and watched. Farmer Brown’s Boy didn’t stop at the corn- field. He csme right on past the cornfield a headed toward the Smiling Pool. In his hand he carried a fishrod. He was going fishing. “It couldn’t be better, thought Sammy. o, sir, it couldn’t be bet- ter. I will get him over here now, or my name isn’'t Sammy Jay.

If Mrs. Creveling would show no quarter to a mere thief, what revenge would she not take ‘upon the murderer of her hus band?

The artist was Carpaccio, who died about 1523. The cuffs cf the lady's gown are edged with narrow lace of a pattern which does not cour in the pattern books until nifiety years later. Venice is really the mother of the art of lace-making, as of so many other arts, much as was done in France cotemporancowly and afterward. Through the de Medicis, who hrought renaissance art gener- ally into France, lace, also, \was brought. Henry III brought back with him from Venice a great liking for all the Italian affectations with which his mother, Catharine - de Medici, had made him familiar in his childhood. It is said that the king would iron and pleat his own collars and cuffs rather than see them limp and shapele: These laces of Venice of the six- teenth century are needle-point laces, but are still closely allied to_embroid- ery in cut or drawn-thread, work. The close portions of the motifs and | floral devices were worked with a filling-in_stitch, lightened with small holes afranged. like veins ‘in a leaf, or grouped together. The contours of these motifs were rarely outlined ‘with a thread and the portions done in relief were worked with a knotted thread. Small loopings or purls cast upon the edges of some of the details gave a charming effect. It should be remembered about the early laces that they were devised largely for and by men, for elaborate court or church ‘se, though they were worked by women.~ Lace-mak- ing was, at first, as much a man’s art as glass-making.
