P INVISIBLE COLOR_BOOK LEARN TO DRAW Learn to draw, so you can make little pictures of your own to paint and-color like you have learned 1o do by painting the INVISIBLE pictures in this book.” Read carefully the following simple instructions and you will quickly learn how to draw the objects your ART teacher has suggested here. ,Lesson 12, ! _In previous lessons 'we have learned the A, B, C's of drawing, which are A, the circle; B, the square, and C, the triangle. We have learned also to use them in mak- ing little pictures by placing them to- gether and by using parts of each one.' Last week we used just the circle for the complete picture. In today's lesson ob- ‘serve_that the lines and angles of B, the square, are used. Notice in objects you se¢ how many similar lines and angles there are. Try to observe the A, B, C's in the many different ways they appear in all objects. »~ Editers’ Note to Parents:, This course of instruction for the littlq ones is intended and planned to give th sn understanding of the'few simple fun damental shapes that are used in the co struction of all pictures and to teach them to look for these shapes in the objectd they are always trying to make pictur of. Every child loves to draw. . With a understanding of the A, B, C's, as ou lined in these lessons, it wiil be very ea to teach them to draw well in a sho time. The lessons will advance a little each week, with an added interest to the child. A scrapbook kept of these lessone will be of value not only to the child, buf many older and advanceq students. .5 - LARRY HUDSON'S AMBITION by James Otism CHAPTER 1. ANTICIPATION EACON ELI DOAK, owner of the Herdsdale farm, waes not'a hard task. master, so the neighboring farmers declared; but his son Joe and his nephew Ned Clark were wont to grumble not a little because he insisted that during the six working days of the week noc time should be spent in idleness, save the thirty minutes allowed for “nooning.” Very often each day during the springtimé¢ did Joe Doak gaze with par- donable pride at his father’s well-tilled acres, and mentally compare them with others in the immediate vicinity. “I reckon there’s no question about Herdsdale bein’ the best farm in this county; but jest wait till T've had a chance to choose for myself, and then see how long I'll stay 'round here weedin’ an’ hoein’,” Master Doak often said to his cousin Ned. : And Ned Clark, wiping the perspiration from his freckled nose, would look up from the back-aching task of weeding, to say meekly: L “] allow there's a heap of worse places in this world than Herdsdale, but I don’t reckon any two boys have to work harder than you an’ me. I 7ish 1 could go to the city for just one day! I'd find as good a chance to earn money as Sam Bartlett did, or know the reason why.” “Sam was mighty lucky.” s “I don't know as you'd call it luck, ‘cause he had hjs eyes open all the time for jest sich a job.” ; “An’ g0 have you an’ I, only we ean’t get into the city. Father den't trust us with his business as Mr. B'\l‘flg' did Sam. Why, that fellow must be makin’ ag much as three or four dollars &yery week of his life!” 1 “He’s doin’ all of that, an’ the day’s bound to come when I'll have as good a show. I don’t reckon on always beéin' a farmer.” It was as if the boys would never tire of discussing Sam Bartlett’s extraor- dinarily good fqrtune, and the possibility of their being able to follow the example set by Rim, although it seemed very remote, for Joe’s father was not ; l'!:ian who believed that the members of his household might really need a oliday. 5 “Perhaps next year we'll get a little forehanded with our work, an’ then you can go fishin’, or I'll take you to town-meetin’,” the deacon would say when his son or nephew approached him on the subject of a day’s pleasuring; but until this particular season the industroius farmer had apparently never seen a time wheén he could afford to be thus generous. . Therefore, it was that the boys were astonished almost to the verge of bewilderment when, on an exceedingly warm day in June, while they were hoeing potatoes in the lower meadow, Deacon Doak said, abruptly, but without ceasing to ply the hoe industriously: § “I reckon the time has come when I feel sort offebleeged to keep the promise I've made you boys.” " ,Joe and Ned suddenly ceased work to look at the speaker.: - “Keep movin’ them hoes, boys. There’s no reason why you can't work an’ talk at the same time. If you feel called upon to stand there like a couple of graven images jest because I've begun to figger on takin' you to the city, why, we'll drop the matter till after sundown. 1 v “If it s0 be that we can get the chores done up ahead, an’ Ezra Littlefield’s folks are willin’ to have an eye out for the cattle, seein’s how all our men will be away, I've figgered that we'd spend the Fourth of July in the city. It's a werful big place, New York is, to say nothin’ of the money the triwll cost. ve made up my mind to take the whole family, though, as I said ore, it's goin’ to be dreadful expensive.” | “And are we to go to New York to stay a whole day, father?” £ “That's what I've counted on if we can get the chores done up in'time. We'll take the first train an’ come home on the last. Seein’s the Fourth comes on a Saturday, we shall have all- of Sunday to rest up in. You'll find it’s a good deal harder work traipsin’ 'round the city in the hot sun than hoein’ potatoes out here, even though you may not be willin’ to say so.” | “I'd like to do that kind of work every day in the year,” Ned said, emphatically. ’ i ’d “Yes, an’ you'd need to have a whole bank right at your back in order to o it.” . » % ' Owing to the fact that the deacon stayed in the lower meadow during the remainder of the afterncon, urging them from time to time to renewed exertions, and now and then hinting that it might become necessary to defer the excursion in case they failed to “get ahead with their.work,” the boys did not have an opportunity of holding a private conversation until the evening’s dévotions had come to an end and they were in the privacy of their own chamber. 5 ' . Almost immediately after Mrs. Doak had, following her usual custom, kissed them good night, with a whispered “God love you,” and departed noise- lm‘yi‘ as i{ thinking they had already journeyed into'Dreamland,'jJ_oe sat upright in bed. v p : Bid ) i i “It seems too good to be true! Only think of it, Ned! We'll have the same chance Sam Bartlett had. S’posin’ both of us should strike a job at a dollar a day! Don't you reckon we'd go there to live?” - k& Fully a moment elapsed before Ned made any reply:- ... o , “It would be mighty fine, livin’ in the city, earnin’ plenty of money, but it be hard to find as good a home as Herdsdale, Joe. We'd k}md of miss .“hmt Mercy’s good-night kiss, an’ when the night came that she didn't whisper Goq love you' over me, I wouldn't feel half as safe as I do now.” o d “I guess if we was makin’ money we could come back often enough.” — - “That wouldn’t be so bad,” Ned replied, thoughtfully. -~ “I'd rather ‘work in & store than on a farm any day.” - v 7 ?why, I reckon we would get 'round among all the siwores in one afternoon.” Say do you s'pose father will give us any money?” . 4 A “T don’t reckon so after what he said about the expense.’ ] ] ] ) It was a late hour before slumber visited the boys’ eyelids,. so many and varied were the plans they formed in connection with the proposed. excursio Perhaps never before had the two boys risen so early as on the mornin, following Deacon Doak’s announcement that his family were to celebrate the Fourth of July in New York, and the good man said to his wife: R e ' “I guess, mother, it ain’t sich a bad idee to give the young folks an outin this year. Them youngsters are bound to do double work 'twixt now an’ S, urday mornin’, which will go a Jong way toward makin' up for the day we're to spend in idleness.” . L “It does me good to see them so happy, father. You're not what might be called a hard man with your help, but you don’t seem to remember that boys need a day’s pleasurin’ now an’.then to keep them up to their work.” .., -...4 “I ain’t so certain about that, mother. I never had it when I was young.? ““You surely had a rest now an’ then.” ™~ - a2 ao O , » & o e, CEAS, ORK. *~JOE AND NED SUDDENLY ED WORK» - _ “One day in seven, mother, one day in seven, with perhaps now an’' then)] an extra hour or two when work was slack.” T I “Josey an’ Ned are 12 years old, an’ since they were big enough to lend a) hnt‘ljd on the farm this will be the first real holiday they have had,” Aunt Merey. i The deacon made no reply to this, but befqre the day was ended he gave each of the boys 10 cents, as he said: 3 " - P { “I'm willin’ you should spend a little money foolishly once in a while, with' the hope that after it is gone you'll realize how easy it can slip through your; fingers, an’ what a poor showin’ you get for it. § ey 1 “I ain’t goin’ to say a word agin your spendin’ the whole of it. ' That’s what' I gave it to you for; but at the same time, Joseph, I'm cautionin’ fou that when' /it's spent, it's gone, an’ you won’t see it any more, whereas, so long as it’s in - .your pocket, it's always ready for a rainy day. You'll never be so old that the, value even of a 10-cent piece won’t be of some account to you. Now, I ain't] intendin’ to preach economy agin till after we've been to the city, 'cause that is| to be a day when'I want you to do jest what pleases you best, an’ I hope all| hands may have a good time. . You will, if it’s in my' power to give it to you."; ; The. boys thanked the deacon as warmly as the magnitude of the gift seemed| to demand, and were then reminded that this was “no time to be loafin’ if they expected to go to the city next Saturday.” Ve o o e } Deacon Doak was right in predicting that Joe and Ned would perform) double their ordinary amount of work during the days which intervened before' the Fourth of July. ‘ EUNEC eCT ) -~ One evening was spent in visiting the Bartlett farm in order to obtain' Sam’s address; the others were devoted to greasing their boots, brushing their clothing and making ready generally for what seemed to them an exc-~inglw “Thrce hours will be plenty of time for us to sée the city. an' if it ain't,.___. long journey, and then the eve of the Fourth of July had come.: Coparight, igor, by Li C.
