The cat, even more than the dog, should have comfortable housing, especially during Fall and Winter. Here is a shelter that is easily moved about, has a door in one end and a small window to admit light to the interior. Get a dry goods box, if possible, 1 foot wide, 11 feet high and 2 feet long, and mark a half circle on the upper part of each end. With a harrow bladed saw, cut this out, and over the Size oboul e xlOwRO" whole top then lay a sneet of tin. Bend the edges down over the sides and ends for about an inch and tack in place. You will have to cut the over-lap at the ends every two or three inches in order to make it lie straight. ~ Saw a small hole about 4 or 5 inches square in one or both sides and cover with sheets of celluloid as shown. The door need not be large and it can be a couple of inches above the floor. To make it easy to move this coop about, bend a handle from stiff wire, then fasten the ends on top of the roof, centered, by means 6f strips of tin bent to shape and soldered fast. For appearance’s sake you can paint the building with some suitable color from paints left over in the basement or attic. This house, when finished, will not weigh more than 10 or 12 pounds.

Viaas BOYCE MORGAN After the dance, Dave brought Madge up and introduced Betty to her. Dave Shade is the champion player of the North Side Tennis Club, and about the best in the city. In fact, he is ‘?o good that he has not lost a set all season, until one day Johnny Albert, president of the club and Dave's bf'ltdn;ien‘d. finally beats him. efea in a Johnny and Betty ho during this time to show Dave how wrong his con- duct has been. INSTALLMENT II. HE days remaining before the Shade family left for Lake Cameron were about as un- happy as any Dave had ever spent in his life. Barred from the tennis club, he was literally lost. He was furious at Johnny, but, although he did not realize it, he was ashamed of him- self, and so he avoided all his friends. He stayed around home constantly, in such a bad temper that it was almost impossible for Betty and her parents to live peaceably with him. On the night before they were to leave for Lake Cameron Johnny came over to say good- by to Betty. Dave, as soon as he saw him, went to his own room and did not appear for the rest of the evening. “He's taking it pretty hard,” said Johnny disconsolately, “Golly, I hated to have him suspended from the club.” “Well, he deserved every bit of it,” said Betty firmly. She realized that Dave's friend- ship meant a great deal to Johnny, and she deplored the existing situation, but she also realized that strenuous measures were neces- sary if her brother were to be cured of his bad sportsmanship. “What I hate is that he blames the whole thing on me,” said Johnny. “But, of course, I knew he would, and I won't care if this treatment just does the work.” “Well, he's suffering more than you are, Johnny,” consoled Betty. “He thinks an awful lot of you, and he’s lost without his tennis. I just hope that by the time we get back from the lake, he’ll have thought things over and seen he was in the wrong.” “I hope so, too,” said Johnny doubtfully. “But Dave is awfully stubborn.” Then they said good-by, and Betty promised to write to Johnny and tell him how things were going. The Shades reached Lake Cameron on Mon- day evening after an all-day motor trip. The lake boasted of a large hotel and a number of cottages, so that the Summer colony was one of considerable size. The Shades had a cottage close to the hotel and, what was more important to Dave, not far from the tennis courts. He was looking forward to playing a great deal during this vacation. On the morning after their arrival, he was up bright and early. After breakfast he picked up his racket and set out at once for the courts. Betly was busy all morning helping her mother unpack, and so it seemed only a short time before Dave reappeared for lunch. She expected him to be happy and exhilarated, but instead he was moody and silent through the meal. “How did you make out over at the courts this morning?” she finally asked him. “Not so well,” he answered. “There don't seem to be many good players here this year. I played some doubles with three dubs, and then played singles against each of them. Only one of them even got a game.” “That’s fine” exclaimed Betty with forced enthusiasm. “I thought you liked to win.” Her brother gave her a dark look and lapsed into silence. But after luncheon, when he seated himself on the porch of the cottage with a book, she went up to him with a.smile. “If you're a real nice brother, Dave,” she said, “I might play with you some time. I'm not very good, of course, but at least I can hit them back to you for practice.” Dave looked genuinely uncomfortable, “Thanks, Betty,” he mumbled, “but you know I really hate to play with a girl. You're a good player, for a girl, but it hurts my game to play with them. But thanks anyway. Let's go swimming later on, shall we?” During the next few days Dave spent a great deal of time at the tennis courts. Betty found several girls who were fairly good players, and played some herself, and she soon learned that her brother had made quite a sensation at the resort because of his fine playing. None of his opponents had even come close to beating him, but strangely enough, he was far from happy. Usually Dave was in excellent humor when he was winning, but now he was evidently far from enjoying himself. Betty wrote several letters to Johnny, telling him of the situation. “I had hoped,” she said in one of them, “that there would be some real good players here who would beat him, but there aren’t. He just murders them all, and his playing is the talk of the resort. I'm afraid that’s not what he needs. And he’s having a rotten time. I really feel sorry for him.” But Dave was a likable chap in so many ways that he could not long remain moody and aloof. He and Betty went to some of the night- ly dances at the hotel, and he was one of the most popular young men at the lake. And whenever he played tennis there was always a gallery there to watch him. Although this was no new thing for Dave, it would have been plenup_t for any one, and before long he was enjoying himself hugely. Betty's letters to Johnny became more and more hopeless as to success of the treatment. Then one night during a dance at the hotel E:v; rushed up to Betty with excitement in ace. “Betty!” he cried. “Have you met the new girl? She just got in today, and she’s a dream. Her name is Madge Olney. I just had a dance with her, and I've got the next one. Look her over.” Betty smiled at Dave’s unusual enthusiasm over a girl, and gazed at Madge Olney with a great deal of interest during the next dance. Madge was a tall, athletic-looking girl, won- derfully graceful on the dance floor, and good- looking in a quiet, dignified way. “She’s nice-looking, all right, but I'm sure she’s older than Dave,” Betty said to herself. After the dance, Dave brought Madge up and introduced Betty to her. “This brother of yours seems quite a lion of the resort,” said Madge, with a good-humored smile. “And I've been hearing all evening what a wonderful tennis player he is. I hope he'll play with me some time.” : “Well, I hope you get your hope,” laughed Betty, “but if you do, you'll do more than other girls can. Dave simply hates to play :‘:tl;:t "us poor, weak women. He just won't “Oh!”~ Madge's face fell disappointedly. “Well, maybe he'll let me watch him, anyway. Will you?” she said, turning to Dave. “Of course,” he replied. “I'll be tickled pink to have you.” (To Be Continued Next Sunday.) At Last.
