Giles pressed his face to the shining feathers of the bird. He loved this hawk which his father had reared for him, and that day he intended carrying it to the chase.
"He is not sufficiently trained," murmured the sleepy voice of the Chief Falconer.

WENDY'S LITTLE DRESSMAKERS.
A Crusading Knight Fancy Dress.
The "Crusading Knight" is splendid fancy-dress idea for boy or girl. The straight plain tunic, reaching to the knees, is made from two pieces of white calico,} and the Red Cross which trims it is cut from scarlet crepe paper. Tack the vertical line of the cross in place on the front piece of calico, and then join back and front together at the shoulders, curving out a neck opening and hemming the edge. A scarlet crepe paper belt will form the horizontal line of the cross, and also keep the tunic in position. Any plain tight-fitting jersey, with knickers to match, may be worn beneath.
The Knight's "chain mail" head-dress can be suggested with Long ago, the Baron of Mont-two open-meshed dish-cloths, fort, lived in a magnificent castle painted, after being made up. in the middle of the forest of the with aluminium paint.

"Giles," said his sister, as her own falcon came flattering to her wrist, "Methinks the bird is still young to try in a great chase."
Giles would not listen. He rode away, but not until a num- two slots, one inch long and about ber of pheasants rose did he up-five-sixteenths-inch wide for the hood his hawk, and toss it up scissors. into the air with a cry of en- couragement. Round circled the bird, swooped upon the pheasants, changed his mind, soared after a heron, and was finally lost in the wood. The falconers searched; Giles' father, the Baron, upbraid- ed him soundly; and, leaving his horse, Giles plunged into the wood. There were tears upon his cheeks as he whistled and called. Presently he came upon a hut where a peasant girl was making a fire. On the ground were some wooden arrows.
"Hast seen a hawk, maiden?" asked Giles.
The girl shook her head, but Giles darted into the hut, for he heard the sound of a silver bell.
"My lord!" cried the girl. "I was near dead with fright, for my bird bolt struck him as he wan- dered lost in the wood. Throw me not into prison for keeping the falcon! I have mended its wing."

"Go back to your caves

The gnome went quickly out;! the Baron filled his drinking cup, the troubadour sang, and, for many days, things went on as usual. Then, one morning, the Baron saw four men in armour ride up to his castle wall, and he recognised them as the four great knights of the Ardennes. Then the Baron of Montfort burst again into roars of laughter.
