They awoke him and took him to the captain. He was tried and found guilty. He Was to be shot as a deserter, The next morning he found himself in an old house and being guarded.

EVERYTHING GUARANTEED = PLUMBING AND GASFITTING The Dcll’s Thanksgiving.

She dressed the dolls in their best, and seated .them. at the . table. Elsie Louise was at the head because she was the oldest. Tommy Tucker came next, because he was full of mischief and needed big sister to look after him. o The table looked very dainty and the dolls very finé,. but not:satisfied. “There is not:a’ Q.hinfinfor the poor dears to eat,” she complained. “Moth- er, may I have some real food for them ?” s Mother allowed her to take a slice of chicken, some little cakes, a patty- pa.:. pie and some other odds and enc . Susette cut the meat into tiny bits for each plate. She divided a real slice of bread into tiny squares. She found some very tiny stalks of celery. She set the patty-pan ple before Eisie Louise, and the rest of the food with- in reach. By that time she had to get ready for her own Thanksgiving Susette had such a jolly time at grandma's, eating turkey and cran- berry sauce and playing with her cousins, that she never once thought of the doll family until she was on the train on the way home. As soon as she reached the house. ;heednn'l.t onte to see how they had red. “Oh, mother,” she cried, “come and see; the dolls have eaten up every scrap of their Thanksgiving dinner.” Sure enough, every bit of food was gone.

All the schools in the city were closed. Going to one of the h schools. were the girls whose names were sHelen, Louise and Mary. Helen's mother, Mrs. White, askea the girls if they would iike to-go camping. ‘They readily agreed and having gained the consent of their pdrents they were soon busy prepar- ing themselves. One bright morning Mrs. White and the girls started-out to camp. It was about -25 miles to the place where they were to.camp. About five or six days after they had arrived at camp Helen saw some men with fish. As she liked fish she decided to purchase some. - §o aft- er having bought some, the men asked her if she would like them cleaned, and asked for a knife to clean them. Helen _thought it queer that while returning the fish he did not return | the Kknife, but said nothing .about it. Later Helen, happening to glance out of the window was asfonished to see the same men peering in at her. Her scream guickly: brought the others around her and.when.she told what she had seen, they were quite alarm- ! 5 - Mrs. White called the girls around ! her _and asked which one} would be willing to go to the village for.help. :, Mary offered to go and soon came back with four men, who captured the robbers, as they proved to be.
