INVISIBLE COLOR BOOK - LEARN TO DRAW 50 you can make little pictures of your own to color, like the. IN VISIBLE pictures are colored in this book. Read carefully the following simple instructions, and you will quickly see how to draw the objects your art teacher has suggested here. Lesson 15 It is easy now to think of the A, B, C's of drawing as the Circle, Square and Triangle. Last week, vou will remember we used only A. the Circle, and B, the Square, for the picture. Let us use and C today, and see how simple it is to make a drawing with them. Notice the gshapes of A and C as contained in No. 1. This will show you a sim- ple Leginning for & picture, which is ca'ried further in No. 2, but observe that the same simple shapes are still in No 2 that we start with in No. 1. Try now to find these two simple shapes in any object you wish to draw, and start your picture in the same manner as No. 1. That is, the simple shapes first, add to them as much as you like afterward. Editor’s Note to Parents: The drawing lessons contained in this book are intended to give the little ones an understanding of the few simple shapes that are used in the construction of all pictures; and to teach them to look for the shapes in the objects they are always try- " ing to make pictures of. Every child loves to draw, and if they know of { these shapes, A, B and C, as con-. ‘" tained in these lessons, they can . look for them and learn to draw easily from any object they select. . Drawing in this way, the child will will teach them to observe what lines, angles and curves are con- ‘tained in different objects. By James Otis . CHAPTER IV. : A DISAGREEABLE ENCOUNTER ; T we moment when the good man was accosted by ‘the alleged frequent A visitor to Canton, a street vendor had passed with toy pistols for sale, and his wares so closely imitated real weapons that both Joe and Ned were eager to make an investment. < 3 .“Say, mister, if you could sell two of them pistols how much would you take for them?” . X ! 5 “Seein’s it's you, I'll part with a couple for nfty cents, an’ they're dirt cheap at that price. r Ned shook his head and turned away that he might not be tempted. “They're yours for forty-five eents, an’ I wouldn't sell 'em to my grand- mother for forty-four ” “Let’'s buy them, Ned,” Joe whispered. “What that man says must be wrne . We never saw anything of the kind for the money.” Ned hesitated, but Joe insisted, and the result was that forty-five cents of their hoard went into the vendor's possession, while they stood on the side- walk clutching their prizes. ¥ . g A “Hi! Jimmy! &t on to the galoots from Cohoes!" a shrill voice cried from behind Joe, and turning suddenly the latter saw a boy of about his own age with a bootblack’s outfit suspended from his shoulder. ) ‘“Come over here an' see the country jays!” the lad continued, shrilly, not a whit abashed x'tbe fact that Joe was looking at him'sternly. ‘“They’'ve come down to take town.” “What's the matter with you?” Joe asked, sharply. “Hurry uwp, Jimmy! Hurry up, or you'll lose the show!” “You'd better mind what you're sayin', Mr. Smarty. We may come frem the country; but we don't eount on, lettin’ you poke fun at us.” By this time the bootblack’s friend, he who had been addressed as “Jimmy,” atrived on the scene, and immediately n calling to other acquaintances, all &e wh'i‘lle pretk(:nding to be so convulsed with laughter that it was with difficulty cnould speak. ™ Don't say anything to them, Joe,” Ned whispered. “It would be an awful :lnri'g i:’ wsers'hould get into a row, an’ a policeman arrested us. Let's go back o Uncle ENL.” Joe stood irrésolutely an instant while Ned tugged at his coat sleeve, and ;h;: he finally decided to follow this verv good advice it was no longer possible £0. Thanks to the shrill eries of the two bootblacks a erowd numbering a dozen or more boys had gathered. The city boys amused themselves by making loud comments on the ral appearance of the two from Canton, and presseg closer and closer unti} Joe and soon found 'themselves forced back against the wall of a building. “I ain"t fom to stand this,” Joe whispered. “If these fellows think we're afraid, they'll talk an’ act a good deal worse than they’re doin’ now. I'd almanst nt,hq.-‘r be arrested than to stay here lettin™ them poke fun at me.” ‘M&,,B‘“' what else can you do?

Somebody's pullin’ the string, an’ he'll come apart if we ain't careful!” “They want to pick a fuss, an’ would be only teo glad if we'd start it,” Ned whispered. “Let them keep on a spell, it won't hurt us; an’ if a police- man, comes along I'll ask him to drive them off.” “Joseph!

My name is"Noak; I'm from Canton, an’ don't want any truck with sich se you.” - 4 Al riehts renerved. “Hurrah for Perfester Doak from Canton!” one of the throng shouted, and while they were yelling at the full strength of their lungs, careful to keep beyond reach of the deacon's arm, yet pmm:z sufficiently close to give him the full benefit of the noise, a policeman appes in the distance. ' e As if by magic the tormentors vanished. . “How long have they been sdssin’ you, Joseph?” the deaecon asked, in a more kindly. tone, when he was assured the last of the throng had do%nted. .

The city boys were in high now they had succeeded in arousing the ' deacon to anger, and danced .just nd reach of his arm as they hurled taynts and unfriendly eriticisms in order that his wrath might not cool. - Deacon Doak was powerless to end the seene in ich he and his two boys were the eentral figures, for when he attem to move up the street toward - where his wife and Nellie were waiting, the boys followed, so impeding his pro- gress that it was almost impossible for him to make any headway. At this moment, ‘when the deacon was despairing of being able to rid himself of the noisy throng, a boy similar in_appearance to those who were having so much spors at the expense of the visitors from Canten came on the scene, and forkan instant Joe thought he was an accession to the ranks of the mischief- makers. “Now, then, what are you duffers up to?
