INVISIBLE COLOR BOOK: i LEARN TO DRAW So you ean make little pictures of your own to paint and color like you have learned to 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 Lesson No. 14’ j We have learned in other lessons that the A. B. C’'s of drawing are A. the Circle, B. the'Square and C. ‘the triangle. In using these shapes and parts of them together we have constructed little pictures. Last ‘week we used C. the triangle. To- day let us combine A. and B. No- tice in the picture that all the straight lines are from B. and all the curved lines come from A. The corners of the asteps and the peak of the house are the corners of the square B. The top of the door and the tree are parts of A. the circle. Try ta find parts of A. and B. in the objects you wish to draw and see how simple they appear, <3 ) . Chapter 111 AN EXPENSIVE EXPERIMENT HEN Deacon Doak led the way into the restaurant there was a look of determination on his face such as his family had never seen since the day of the town meeting, when he was elected treasurer of Canton, A eol::ogh wndi::r eondu:ihd “;hgflvl'isoifto;a to a table at one side of the room, hand e con a .prin are. o “Listen to this, Merc;'l:” and the good man bent forward as he read in a voice tremulous with emotion, ‘Two boiled eggs, twenty cents.’ “What do you think of that for a city price? A dollar an’ twenty cents a dozen for eggs! An’ hear this, ‘Pumpkin pie, fifteen cents,’” Mrs. Doak held up both hands in pained astonishment. . \ “Let's go right straight out,” and Mrs, Doak hal? rose from her chair. “Sit down, Mercy,” said the deacon, “We must get somethin’, if it ain't more’n a eup of coffee, an’—'Coffee, twenty cents a pot.’ There! What do you think of that?” “Don’t let’s stay, father, don’t let’s stay.” ' “There don’t seem to be anythin% cheaper, so weTl start. in on coffee, an’ while the nigger’s bringin® it I'll kinder study this thing a little.” After a short time the deacon beckoned to en attendant who was standing idle near by, and said to him much as if askipg a very great favor: ; “I've jest sent one of your men for a pot of eofleeé an' have made up mind to b\z a plate of hot rolls, too. Won't see sbout it?” ) guess this is the last time Uncle Eli will pay for a city dinmer,” Ned said, in a r, as at the same time he leaned back in the rest-inviting chair, in order that might receive the full benefit of the luxuries which were to be purchased at such an extra nt price, By this time the waiter returned, mingl:&pu a silver salver a pot containing less than two cups of coffee, as was rward learned by actual measurement, and a plate on which were three roll: n looked alternately at what he had supposed would .serve as @ lunch for five, and at his wife. e might have known before we left home, Mercy, that we was bound to be swindled if we come down to the city. Is this wi they eall a of coffee? Why, it don’t hold much more’n a teacupful, an’ there’s the brurtttey ¢l n cents for—three little, scraggly biscuits at five cents apiece! Thirty-five cents for this dinner, an’ 'cordin’ to the logks of things we'll' have to drink out of one cu% for that’s all the man bro ‘k"’ “I don’t know as I'm so very hungry, father,” t Mercy whispered, in a soothing tone. “There’s coffes an’ bread enough for you, at all events, an’ the rest of us will buy peanuts, or somethin’ of that sort, after we out-of-doors.” “You won't anything of the kind, Mercy Doak. IM t I'm a savin’ wan, an’ perhaps some of my neighbors are in.the right when they say I hold on to & cent almost too long; but T ain’t o savin' as to be willin’ to set down here an’ eat these biscuits wfule you an’ the children look on, for you’re all as hungry as I am.” “See here, mister,” he added, addressing the waiter, “I live up to Canton, an’ came down with mother an’ the children to see the telebra- tion. Now I want dinner; the cheapest thing that'’s fillin’ which you can scare up for five of us. “Corned beef hash is hearty, sir,” the man ventured to suggest. md“‘#n' €00d too, if it's made right. Is that about as cheap as any of your “g:i.' sir, 1 ltlh’ln)( Ilt t:: thfe 'x:ost ecomial dish wol ve.” m “Bring me five plates o an’ al er cup 80 ve: some coffee. The children will get along on cold WItoll" I reckon."'l ; “Do you know how much they ask for it?” asked Mrs. Doak. . “I didn’t look He said it was the cheapest thinfi in the place,” and the deacon turned his attention to the task of appeasing his hunger, until, unable longer to restrain his curiosity, he again took up the bill of fare that he might ascertain how much would be changed for this frugal dinner. “It’s twenty-five cents a phtai'llmyl" : The knife and fork fell from Mrs, Doak’s hands as she gased at her hus band with an ression on her face very like that of fear, “It's twenty-five cents a } Five twenty-fives is a dollar an’ a quarter. ty cente for the coffee is a dollar forty-five, an’ fifteen for them its makes a dollar an’ sixty cents for this poor little lot of vittles. Why, that's nigh on to as much as we for a whole week’s feed at homel” From that moment until all the eatables had disappeared, the visitors frem Herd«dale were most industrious. and then the deacon, with a long-drawn agl;; :: if fl;‘etmovement gave him real pain, drew a well-worn calfskin wallet 0 8 pocket. The waiter, observing the action, placed before him a small slip of paper, on which was written a list of the articles served, with the prices affixed. “Pay at the desk, please.” : “The desk, eh? Where's that?” “Over there. sir, where the lady s sitting.” In single file, as if it were necessary all should take part in the perform. ance, the Dook family marched up to the desk, the observed of all observers, and the deacon said, as he handed his monev and check to the ocashier ; “If it so be you ever get up to Canton, come out to Herdedale farm an’ I'll #ell you all the hash you can carrv away for a dollar an’ sixty cents.” . No reply was made to this remark; but the fact that he had thus freed bis mind gave the deacon considerable satisfaction.
