A Brave Deed

BY Bruce Taylor, Age IL Years, Abbott.
Neb, Blue Side.
Robert was a boy who lived with his
parents in the city of New York. They
were very poor and his father worked in
steel factory and Robert sold papers on
the streets. His mother took in washing
and she earned few dollars Roberts
parents were so poor that Robert could not
go to school and had to work. One day his
father was working when a steel rod fell
on his arm and broke it so he could not
work, and the work fell on Robert and his
mother. one day as Robert was selling
papers he heard shouting and, looking up
the street, he saw a horse and buggy COM
ing toward him, and in it was a man and
woman. The buggy was sure to run
into something and 1t was getting near
the railroad track, and Robert without
thinking what a risk he was taking jumped
into the middle of the street and when the
horse got near he grabbed it by the bride
and stopped the horse. And the man whom
he had saved was his rich uncle, and Rob
ert and his father and mother went to
live with their uncle. Robert was sent to
school and he afterward went to college,
and then took a trip to England. After
he came back he took a place in his uncles
counting room and he is now junior partner
of the firm.

One little girl was to be queen and so
they put a wreath Of flowers around her
head.
This is our Maypole," said one. I'VE

began to hunt flowers. The May flowers
peeped out from the grass.
One little girl went away by herself. She
followed a little brook. Once in a while
she would find a flower or two. This led
her into the woods farther and farther.
Pretty soon she came to a cluster of
flowers. Some were pink, some were violet
and the rest were white.
She stayed by the brook and watched
it run over the rocks. Pretty soon she fol-
lowed it back again to where the children
were playing. She heard them calling to
one another.
They were saying, She's found, she's

doesn't rock in the wind. We are as quiet
here as in our southern pine tree on
sunshiny morning in April
Just then a strange noise was heard be-
low them, and suddenly Mr. and Mrs. Sng-
loud saw light come into the nest near
to them. And then more suddenly came
into view a big boys head. OF course,
the Sing-louds did not know the creature
was boy, but supposed it dangerous
monster. The boy was coming up a ladder
into the loft, and he had a lantern on one
arm.
When he had climbed quite into the
loft the boy hung the lantern on peg in
the wall over the opening through which
he had come and then proceeded to pitch
hay in the manger below. OF course the
sing-louds sat as stll mice. fearing
to draw their breath. And as they perched
themselves on top of the hay, near to the
window, they were not within range Of
the pltchfork used by the boy. and he
knew nothing of their proximity.
Pretty soon, to the great relief of the
sng-louds, the boy had thrown hay to the
horses below and had betaken himself
down the ladder, carrying away the lam
tern on his arm. All, how the Slng-louds
did breathe freely again! But there was
a strange noise to them occasionally, such
a noise that they both were afraid to go
TO sleep. SO, very cautiously Mr., Sing
loud tripped to the opening over the
manger and peered down. for it was from
that source that the noise came. All, he
could see by the flashes Of lightning that
some huge beasts were devouring the hay
which the monster had pitched to them
from the immense nest! 1t was all so
strange, this being so close to those
beasts and the monster!
And ever so long did these huge beasts
chomp and chomp on the hay, They we're
horses, merely two fine friendly old farm
horses, but the Sng-louds did not know
that. Their classification OF animals was
very different from ours And they
thought of the hoy and OF the horses as
being very terrible,
The next morning as soon as the dawn
came creeping in from the east Nj Tree
top Sing-loud hoped to the window and
looked out. The clouds had disappeared
from the sky, and few stars wlnked to
him before Withdrawing from sight The
song Of an early bird came across
meadow, an old rooster in the coop in
the barnyard began TO crow Justify
IT'S time for US to be on our way"
whispered Mr.. Sng-loud to Mrs, sing-loud,
who was wide awake and listening 20 the
discordant growing OF old rooster, Isn't
this a queer big nest? And wasn't Il
strange experience we had last nght?'
yes. Indeed. and III be glad when We
are safe IN our own summer quarters
again" declared Mr.. Sing-loud. And he
spoke from the depths OF his heart.
Al the end OF that week the sing-louds
were snugly auartered IL their summer
home. and relating TO their neighbors the
strange experiences OF their long Journey

Of thunder shook the earth and the rain
fell in torrents.
With the first burst OF the rainfall, Mr..
Sing-loud found a great black hole, and into
1t he led his frightened little wife Her
heart was fluttering terribly, for never
before has she been caught in storm of
such severity. Their former trips north
had always been made during a week OF
fine weather But this journey had not
proven so propitious.
Once inside the hole Mr.. Treetop Sing
loud began to peer about him. He did
not know that he and his mate had en-
tered the hayloft of a big barn. But he
knew the place was a queer one, and that
sweet fragrance filled the air. 1t was
the odor from the hay which filled his
nostrils.
Here Is the largest nest every beheld," "
he said to Mrs Sing-loud. But Mrs. Sing
loud was too much exhausted from the last
half hours speedy travel and fright to
reply at once. She sank down on the soft
hay and rested. Oh how comfortable was
this immense nest! She felt she might sleep
unmolested and happy over night.
Were snug and safe" said Mr.. Sling
loud, smuggling close beside his little mate,
Well stay here till dawn"
Yes, we'll have fine night here" as

Arbor Day

BY Ruth Kirschstein, Aged II Years, S6O1

long time ago, the trees were not only
being cut down, but were dying out, and
they are beautiful, give shade, and
bring rain, the people were losing one of
their most important things; in fact they
could not get on without the trees so
J. Sterling Morton, a mddle-aged Ne
braskan, suggested that they should have
a holiday the 22d of April every year and
plant trees. The idea was received with
enthusiasm, and so earnest were they that
it has been passed on year after year and
we are still keeping up the custom. When
we sit under the big, shady trees, we think
of J. Sterling Morton and are grateful to
him, for If it hadn't been for him the
people probably would never have thought
about dedicating day to the trees. II the
little tree birds only knew, 1 am sure they
would be grateful, too. for If it had not
been for him they would soon have had no
place for their homes.
