Then Uncle John came for them and wrapped them warmly in blan- kets for their drive home. And the sleigh which had caused all the trou- “What are you doing here?” he said so gruffly that Jeannie began to cry. As the horses went faster they had to hold on tightly and rounding one corner they very nearly went off in a drift. They were, oh, so cold and wishing in vain they had left the hill when the other children did. “Your Auntie has been phoning all over the countryside about you,” she said as soon as she had them settled beside the stove with their half-froz- en hands in a basin of cold water. “I’ll just call up and let her know you are found. The twins crawled off the sleigh, cold and stiff, and were trying to un- fasten the rope with their numb fin- gers when the man came around to the 'back of the sleigh to lift off a bag. ’ “We fastened on behind your sleigh and couldn’t get ofl" and we’re so c-c-cold.” she sobbed. He called to his wife and‘she met them at the door, such a nice, fat comfortable looking old lady that they forgot to be frightened. After they had had a nice warm meal they stopped shivering and be- gan to enjoy themselves. Even their cross driver became quite friendly as soon as he was thawed out and fed. I It was a lovely sparkly Saturday and the twins had spent most of it riding \down a big hill on the new sleigh they had got for Christmas. There were no hills on their own farm and they had to go down the road nearly to the school to find a steep enough place to have a good ride. There were some more of the school children at the slide and they had a jolly afternoon all together, but the others had to go hmne quite early to help with the chores and presently Jeannie and Jock found themselves alone. “And let that mean old man have our lovely new sleigh?” said Jeannie, We’ll just have to keep going: until he stops.” “Well, if you aren’t the city kids from McFarlane’s,” he said in sur- prise, “why you’re just about five miles from home. Guess you better come in and telephone to your uncle to come and get you." “Just one more ride,” they kept saying, “and then we will hurry home and feed the chickens.” And they kept on having one more ride until the sun suddenly popped down behind the big bush and they realized that it was nearly teatime. “Give‘us a ride?" they called, but the driver didn’t even answer them. He knew they were those youngsters from the city and that they were only about a hundred yards from their uncle’s gate. Besides he was cold and hungry and in a hurry to get home and he didn’t like children much “Let’s roll off and walk home," said Jock. As they hun'ied along the road to- ward home a team and sleigh over- took them. Jock kicked the rope in vain. A knot in the rope had become tightly wedged in the iron bar and he couldn’t get it loose. As they looked back along the road they could see Uncle John’s barn disappear behind the hill. The sleigh was going fast now and the snow seemed to slide past the children at an alarming rate. anyway. ' “Isn’t he cross?” whispe‘red Jeannie “lets hook on behind.” ' So they slipped the rope of their sleigh through an iron rod on the back of the bob-sleigh and were soon riding in fine style. “Don’t let’s call to the man,” said Jeannie, “he looked so crOSS at us. Kick the rope as hard as you can.” “Here’s our gate, Jock,” said Jean- nie, “let go the rope.” Jock let go but they didn’t stop. He looked round at Jeannie in horror. “It’s stuck,” he whispered, “what will we do?” AN UNEXPECTED RIDE JOAN SELKIRK Freshly rendered chicken fat may be used for all kinds of cooking in place of the best quality butter. Sweeping linoleum wears if alm9st as much as walking on it. Instead of a broom use an oiled mop or use a broom bag on the broom. Keeping linoleum well wax‘ed makes it wear much longer. Starch made with soapy water pre- vents the iron from sticking and gives a better gloss to the linen. If clothes must be dried in the house in the winter use a ceiling clothes drier in the kitchen. This may be a wooden frame which draws up to the ceiling or simply a line with pulleys. The clothes will dry much more quickly, besides being out of the way. “Didn’t we have a nice time,” mur- mured Jeannie sleepin from the rob- es. “Even the cross old man was nice to us. I guess everybody is nice when you really know them.” Glassware will. have an added lus- tre if a little vinegav :5 added to the water in which it is rinsed. ble went bobbing gain along behind the cutter. One can hardly pick up an American paper or magazine this month without reading an article about either Lincoln or Washington who both happened to be born in February. It seems a pity for the sake of the journalists that both these famous men chose the same month for their birth- days a; it overcrowds theinmagazines to say at] there is to be said about both of them. So when we look at American magazines this mOnth and see so many stories about these two men we may shrug our patriotic shoulders and say “There’s the eagle scream- ing again.” But let us think of these two gooc men out of their national settingâ€"the one: who was “always true, just and Mme,” and the one when just “kept {legging away,” and we must acknowledge that this time the eagle has something worth screaming alout. Lincoln’s career shows us what a tremendous influ- ence a good mother may have on a man’s life. When he and his Ststcr I are small and thev lived far from any school his mother taught them all she knew. Although his slate was a slab of smoke blackened wood with the letters and figures marked in clay his mother inspired nim with such ambition that at an age when most boys are trying to get away from school he was walking many miles to borrow legal books tom the nearest lawyer. One of this famous man’s sayings which we mothers will do well to remember was “All I am or ever hope to be I owe to my Mother.” J During the waiihis military tactics were not very good. But his one motto was “just keep pegging away” and any- one who does that is‘ bound to win in the end.
