A PET ORIOLE.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: one
a afternoon last summer when was reading
on the front porch I suddenly looked up
from my book and saw out on the front
lawn a very pretty little Baltimore orioie.
His breast was orange and he had beauu-
full black wings He looked so saucily al
me. / felt he wanted to make friends l
read a little longer; then / heard a tap
tap. tap on the porch. I saw the oriole
right beside me. thought he looked hun
CRY, so I went into the house TO get some
crumbs for him. When l came back ne
was not there, so threw the crumbs on
the ground for him. Then | went back TO
reading again. Something flew around the
porch very swiftly. | saw at once that IL
was the oriole l had got the crumbs for
lie ate all the crumbs, then flew around
the house three times Then he hew OUT
I'm the fields. He lii on little spray or
goldenrod and sang a pretty little song
to thank me for the crumbs ] had given
him. The next morning at O'Clock l
heard a little bird singing In the tree
right opposite my window. | looked out
of the window and found II was my pet
oriole. Now every spring I shall look for
him and wait for him to come back. one
night this spring when we had just nm
on a post opposite our house. He stayed
there a little while. began to sing a sweet
song and then flew away. I am hoping to
see him soon again. Yours truly

his wife and babies in the nest that they
could come out TO play as usual In the
morning. Then Mr.. Squirrel curled his tail
around himself and went to sleep, too.
1t was several hours after this when
everything was very dark that little Polly
suddenly woke up. She was staring into
the trees, where a big black shape was
creeping toward the camp. Was It a bear?
Polly turned cold with terror, and she
didn't dare to move. until suddenly the
creature began TO run Then:
Papa! Papa" she screamed
Daddy Trib was on his feet in an instant,
snatching his revolver from his pillow.
IAN right. little one" he whispered.
What is it?"
II saw something in the trees over
there" gasped Polly.
They both looked toward the roadway
between the big trees. and. sure enough, a
big animal, was running toward them
Only
why. it's Romp" said Daddy Trib
And so It was. The good doggie came
trotting up to little Polly and licked her
face. as IL he knew he had frightened her
and was sorry. So Polly cried just a little
bit, because she was all excited. and Daddy
picked her up In his arms and brought her
to sleep with him, and they didn't have
any more adventures until morning

But besides being mason and car
penter and weaver. he is fisherman.
He weaves a net and sets it out in the cur
rent Of the stream. near his front door,
makes 1t the shape OF funnel and when
the fish come floating down they are caught
fast enough and eaten by this smart little
builder. But there comes a day when he
begins to feel drowsy and he doesn't want
to look out of his front door nor find any
more fish I'm his net; he knows that he is
going to sleep and he wants to be let alone.
So he finds a pebble and rolls It up against
the opening Of his house, and closes II up
tight with sticky threads. Then, inside his
tlght-cIosed house-except for the chinks
for the water to flow IN and out-he spins
a soft silken bed close about himself and
softly goes to sleep to walt until he Is
called to life In q new and different world.
When this call comes the little creature
breaks through its silken bands and crawls
out upon a water plant that reaches to the
light and air. The old skin splits, and
behold! another bright fly fairy, with gauzy
wings. has come TO life! This is the story
