tween the first and second fingers of the left hand, 

 holding it thus until you can reach over the cane with 

 the right hand, and draw the end (7 through the loop. 

 Now pass the end C to the left, under the left thumb, 

 and hold it down on the windings already made, b ; 

 then hook your right first finger in the large loop, and 

 putting a strain on it, revolve the cane and proceed with 

 the winding as at first. You will thus wind on as many 

 turns over the end C as you made between a and 6, 

 and in close contact with those you wish to fasten. For 

 every wind you so add you will, if you have followed 

 the directions carefully and correctly, see one of those 

 between a and b unwind, and will at length have the 

 result shown, thus : 



Fig. 74. 



Now seize the end C, and draw up the slack of the 

 large loop until it lies in close contact with the windings 

 you are fastening. Cut off the end as close as you can, 

 and it is done. Repeat this until firmly fixed in your 

 mind, and you have made an acquisition that will many 

 times repay the trouble. 



Now let us apply this lesson, taking at the same time 

 another step forward.
