The following unusual interpreta- tion of a common command appears in London Tit-Bits. The mistress Mending men's clothes often gives the housewife much bother, for they are not so easily dealt with as the feminine garments, the very sewing on of a button being a somewhat troublesome job. A tailor always gives a button a "stem" when sewing it on a coat, so that the buttonhole may easily slip over it. A good plan in order to raise the button sufficient- ly so as to leave room for the false shank is that of cutting a ring of cardboard a little bigger than the but- ton, removing the centre. This may he slipped between it and the mater- ial, the needle being passed through, the hole in the middle, while the thickness of the cardboard prevents the thread from being drawn too taut. When finished the ring should be broken away, and the shank of cotton straightened by several winds of cot- ton and buttonholed once or twice. A Bereaved JI other When a sewing. machine works heavily, take out the thread and oil every part of the machine thoroughly with kerosene. Work briskly for some minutes, so that the kerosene may do its work of loosening all the old oil and grime, and then wipe carefully with a soft, old duster.

IBut there, I’ll try and begin at the {beginning -, - I "You know Catheart got the post ‘of Consulting Surveyor and Engin- eer to the Bekwando Syndicate, and he was head man at our London place. Well, they sent me from Capetown to be junior to him, and a jolly good move for me too. I never did see anything in Cathcart! He's a lazy sort of chap, hates work, and I guess a civilizer. But the boy seemed to feel some of the pathos of the mo- ment and he looked curiously at the little crowd of wailing natives. "And the people?" he asked. "They are going to help me make my road," Trent said firmly. "I am going to teach them to work." _ the stench was horrible. a; A little chorus of murmurs escap- _ ed the lips of the Europeans as the t interior became revealed to them. Op- . posite the door was a life-size and hideous effigy of a grinning god, made of wood and painted in many colors. By its side were other more horrible images, and a row of human skulls hung from the roof. The hand . of a white man, blackened with age, ', was stuck to the wall by a spear- ' head, the stench and filth of the _ whole place were pestilential. Yet outside a number of women and sever- _ al men were on their knees hoping _ still against hope for aid from their ancient gods. Thefc. was a cry of hor- ror when Trent unceremoniously kick. ed over the nearest idol-a yell of panic when the boy, with a gleam of Imischief in his eyes, threw out amongst them a worm-eaten hideous effigy, and with a hearty kick stove in its hollow side. lt lay there bald and ugly in the streaming sunshine, a block of misshapen wood ill-painted in flaring daubs, the thing which they 'had worshipped in gloom and secret, they and a generation before them-- iall the mystery of' its shrouded exist- ence, the terrible fetish words of the dead priest. the reverence which an all-powerful and inherited supersti- tion had kept alive within them, came into their minds as they stood there itrembling, and then fied away to be out of reach of the empty, staring eyes-out of reach of the. vengeance which must surely fall from the skies upon these white savages. So they watched, the women beating their bo- soms and uttering strange cries, the men stoiid but scared. Trent and the boy came out coughing, and half- /ft'tfpiiiiii with the rank odor, and a Ilittle murmur went up from them. It _ was a device of the ttods-a sort of ', madness with which they were afflict- ( ed. But soon their murmurs turned l into lamentation when they saw 1 what was to come. Men were running 1 backwards and forwards, piling up l dried wood and branches against the i idol-house, a single spark and the , thing: was done. A tongue of flame: leaped up, a thick column of smoke l stole straight up in the breathless air. 1 Amazed, the people stood and saw the t home of dreadful mystery, whence 1 came the sentence of life and death, ' the voice of the king-maker, the l omens of war and fortune, enveloped s in flames, already a ruined and shape- y less mass. Trent stood and watched r it, smoking fiercely, and felt himself th' ts Trent lit a cigar, and sat down on a block of wood to consider what fur- ther was best to be done. In the meantime the natives were bringing yams to the white men with timid gestures. After a brief rest Trent called them to follow him. He walk- ed across to the dwelling of the fetish man and tore down the curtain of dried grass which hung before the opening. Even then it was so dark inside that they had to light a torch before they could see the walls, and the stench was horrible. CHAPTER xXrx.---tCont'dy. There was a wild chorus of fear. The women tled to the huts-the men ran like rats to shelter. But the exe- ‘cutioner of Bekwando, who was a fe- ltish man and holy, stood his ground and pointed his knife at Trent. Two ‘others, seeing him firm, also remain- ed. The moment was critical. I "Cut those bonds!" Trent ordered, vpointinz to the boy. The f:-tish man waved his hands and drew a step nearer to Trent, his ‘knife outstretched. The other two backed him up. Already a spear was touched. Trent's revolver flashed ‘out in the sunlight. "Cut that cord!” he ordered again. The fetish man poised his knife. Trent hesitated no longer, but shot him deliberately through the heart. ?He jumped into the air and fell for- ward upon his face with a death cry which seemed to find an echo from every hut and from behind every tree "rt Bekwando. It was like the knell of itheir last hope, for had he not told Ithem that he was fetish, that his (body was proof against those wicked fares, and that if the white men ‘came, he himself would slay them.' _And now he was dead! The last bar- :rier of their superstitious hope was ibroken down. Even the drunken king :58: up and made strange noises. The two warriors who had stood by the priest were approaching, but when they came within a few yards of Trent's revolver they dropped on their knees. It was their token of submission. Trent nodded, and a moment afterwards the reason for their non-resistance was made evi- dent. The remainder of the expedi- tion came filing into the little en- closure. Trent patted him on the shoulder. “If I hadn't been in time," he said, "I'd have shot every man here and burned their huts over their heads. Pick up the knife, old chap, quick. I thigk those fellows mpanItischief." Trent stooped down and, picking up the knife, cut the bonds which had bound the boy. He staggered up to his feet with a weak, little laugh. “I knew you’d find me," he said. TY I look awfylly frightened y' ll CHAPTER XXX THE GOLDEN KEY Or "The Adventures or ledgard."

Anyhow, there I was, about morning-time when you were thinking of having your cup of tea, trussed up like a fowl in the mid- "lle of the village, and all the natives, beastly creatures promenading round me and making fuces and bowling out thiru,rs--Oh, it was beastly I can tell you! Then just as they seemed to ihave made up their mind to kill me," lop strode Scarlett Trent alone, if you 'please, and he walked up to the whole lot of 'em as bold as brass. He'd got a long way ahead of the rest and thought they meant mischief, so he wouldn't wait for the others but faced a hundred of them with a revolver in his hand, and I can tell you things were lively then.

And now for my own special adventure. Won't you shiver when you read this! I was taken prisoner by one of those chaps, carried off to their beastly village and very nearly murdered by a chap who seemed to be ed to preach, but Trent stopped him.! ‘We've got to work here,' he said,] 'and Sunday or no Sunday I can't let my men stop to listen to you in the cool of the day. If you want to pvnnch, come and take a pick now, :ml' ”mach when they're restinm' and he I t and worked well too, and after.. wards when we had to knock off, he preached, and Trent took the ehair, and made 'em all listen. Well, when' we got a bit inland we had the natives _ to deal with, and if you ask me I be-" lieve that's one reason Cathcart hated the whole thing so. He's a beastly coward, I think, and he told me once he'd never let off a revolver in his life. Well, they tried to surprise us one night, but Trent was up himself l watching, and I tell you we did give _ 'cm beans. Great, ugly-looking, _ black chaps they were.

We had a missionary come over the first Sunday, and want- "Well, out he went prospecting, be- fore he'd been in the country twenty- four hours, and he came back quite .cheerful. Then he spoke to Cathcart about starting work, and Cathcart was a perfect beast. He as good as told him that he'd come out under false pretences, that the whole affair was a swindle, and that the road could not be made. Trent didn't hesitate, I can tell you. There were no arguments or promises with him. He chucked Cathcart on the spot, turned him out of the place, and swore he'd make the road himself. I asked if I might stop, and I think he was glad, anyhow we've been ever such pals ever since, and I never expect to have such a time again as long as I live'. But do you know, Auntie, we've about made that road. When I see what we've done, sometimes I can't believe it, I only: wish some of the bigwigs who've never been out of an office could Bee) it.

No one seemed to know much about Bekwando Land Company and the country that way was very rough. However, we got sent out at last, and Catheart, he simply sseofted at the whole thing from the first. There was no proper labor, not half enough machinery, and none of the right sort-and the gradients and country between Bekwando and the sea were awful. Cathcart made a few reports and we did nothing but kick our heels about until He came.
