when We speak Of nests we are
generally thinking OF those fanlil-
lar structures Of grass, wool, hay.
moss and the like. in which birds are
accustomed to lay their eggs or rear
their young. AS a matter OF fact
this Is only natural, for birds, as a
class represent the most notable
nest-huilders OF the animal king
dom.
Yet just as birds share with in
sects their wonderful powers OF
flight. so the art OF building rs

sions OF living creatures. Indeed 1t
may be fairly claimed that for va
riety OF structure and ingenuity OF
contrivanee insects deserve the first
place among builders OF nests and
nurseries: and this place they would
certainly hold were II not for the
fact that the results of their labors
are frequently hidden from the eye
of the casual wanderer.
. Take, for example, the case OF the
common wasp. Most people have a
vague notion that wasps build nests.
Some have even watched these in
sects from respectful distance is

As she trotted into the house she de-
termined to try and overcome her
fear.
The very next day she started out
to cure herself. When no one was
looking she took berry pail and
stole out to the barn where the rock
salt was kept.
with the pail OF salt upon her
arm she trudged straight out to the
cattle pasture. Her little heart went
chug. like a steam launch, and her
feet seemed to stick to the ground
and pull back, and say, "Oh, Sally,
anywhere but the pasture!"
But they took her there. She let
down a bar and erawled through.
There was tree in the middle OF the
pasture and she headed for that,
calling:
Go, boss, Co. boss!"
The cattle at the far end of the pas
ture heard her call and lifted their
heads.
Go. boss. Co, boss!" That sound
surely meant salt.
"Moo-oo-oo," Across the held
they came, galopty-galop.
Sally shook like an aspen leaf'
but held her ground. for the reason
that she was TOO far from the fence
TO run for 1t, and the one tree was
too high to climb.
With fearful haste she hung TIE

Within few feet OF her ,tney

scared Sally.
She waited till they we're all ousy
and then turned and fed Ike the
wind. Over the fence. pstterins
down the road she went. never OAR

halted TIL she was safe in ner

this: Sally was not cured. She Is
