THE BİLEY BOYS' WORKSHOP.

A Useful Corner Cupboard.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1930.

TINK'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE.

The object we drew last week was a comb; it was placed within the letter G, and so, of course, you came to the conclusion that the To make a useful corner cup-| board like the one sketched you hidden word was "combing"-comb-in-g! Full solution:

Cut the top, bottom and shelf parts first. They are all the same size, as shown at A. Mark out the shape of one piece with the aid of a set-square, and after this part has been carefully planed to size, use it as a pat- tern for the other two pieces.

Her face and hands had just been washed, her hair pushed in to her little jewelled cap, a fresh ruff tied round her neck. Now she was waiting for her nurse to carry her down stairs, for, al- though Margaret was eight years old, she could not walk.

Being very near the throne of Scotland, it was not considered fitting to set the princess's feet úpou the ground till she was ten years old.

"I am very hungry !" screamed

THE KING & HIS CHAMBERLAIN.

Once upon a time there was a lazy king, who left everything to his lord chamberlain, and amused himself by hawking. Years pass- ed, the chamberlain ruled the land wisely in the king's name, and secretly built a splendid palace for himself afar off.

When the king's son became a young man, he asked if he might see the royal crown and jewels, and the king immediately sent for the chamberlain and told him to bring out the treasure. After a time the chamberlain returned with a very long face,

"Your Majesty," he said, "The ráta have caten all the treasure. "Tis so long since your Majesty thought of looking at it."

Then the king, and the prince knew that they were faced with ruin, and were almost overcome

"Yes," replied Margaret, "But when can I walk?"

As she asked the same ques- tion every day, the chamberlain did not answer, and Margaret ate her breakfast of porridge, rye bread and honey, and boiled beef, without more ado. Then she drank some ale from her beauti- ful silver goblet, and was carried to her tutor for her lesson in French

By the time she was nine years old, Margaret was so tall that it was decided she should learn to walk. But directly her feet were placed upon the ground she fell down! Indeed, her feet and legs were so weak that it seemed as if she would never learn to walk. She wept so bitterly that at last the chamberlain's little daughter, who was also named Margaret, was brought to the palace to see if she could teach her.

Soon, to her great joy, she was running about fearlessly, and so great was her delight at "finding her feet" that she insisted upon the other Margaret remaining with her and becoming her maid- of-honour.

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

"Well, Willle," said the fond uncle, "how do you like the mouth-organ I sent you for your birthday?"

"Fine, thank you, uncle!" said the child very politely.

"Can you play any good tunca of it?" asked the other.

"Rather, uncle, lots," said Willie. "It's easily the best pre sent I've ever had."

"I am very glad to hear that," beamed the old gentleman.

"Yes, uncle; mother gives me a shilling a week not to play it," was the boy's reply.
