 The planting in the soft prepared earth was easy and the reward. after some days when the tender green shoots peeped through, was delight ful.
 "Oh, | love to see the dear little things come up, cried Philip. Isn't it wonderfuli"
 The tug of war came later, when the grass and weeds grew fast and tried to run over and choke the life out of the tender plants. and had to be hood or pulled out industriously.
 Philip had his lazy spells after the work became harder and the sun was hot. He was often tempted to let the grass get ahead of him when he heard the boys shouting on the baseball field or knew that they had gone to the

 Philip was a city boy and when his father moved the family to a Penn sylvania college town beyond the suburbs there was much that inter- ested him, including the surroundings of dwelling houses that stood far apart, with a lawn and trees about them, and in the back lots things that grew and ripened and then were served on the table as food.
 During a visit the previous sum- mer Philip had been impressed by the fact that even the college pro- fessors-one of them his uncle-often

Jack replied in his very crossest voice "All girls are old scarcely cats,' he shifted
 Jamie was going to tell him thai all boys were made of puppy dog tails when she saw nurse walking down the beach.
 "Oooon Jamie squealed, "she's com- ing Jack, and she'll see the cakes You shouldn't have taken them out of the box" she declared in just the tone mother sometimes used when she was scolding.
 Well l guess you ate as many as l did" Jack retorted
 Now of course all this fussing didn't do any good, for nurse was getting nearer all the time, and if she saw the cakes she would surely tell moth CT. Jack tried very hard to think of something to do,
 Let's bury them in the sand" he suggested.
 "Oh, yes!" Jamie agreed, clapping her hands
 When nurse arrived Jack and Jamie were making big sand pile with not cake in sight. Now Old Mr. Sand Crab was very much disappointed, for he was anxious to see how girls and boys were punished. But nurse only called to them to come along to lunch, so he settled down for an other nap.
 He decided that when he woke LID he would find out what it was the children had left in the sand But Mr. Sand Crab was an old fellow who loved to sleep, so 1t was late in the afternoon when he blinked his eyes and looked around.
 Those children again." he mutt tered grossly to himself.
 And, sure enough, there were Jack and Jamie busily digging into the sand to find their cakes
 She didn't catch us that time. did she?" Jack said, thinking how very smart he had been
 Then he pulled cake out of the hole and stuffed it in his mouth. The next minute Old MT. Sand Crab sat up very suddenly, for Jack was cough ing and really making a tremendous noise
 They're all wet and sandy" Jack said as soon he he could talk.
 "Cmmm-" Jamie agreed making q face. for she had tasted one, too. "Oh. dear, now they're all spoilt, and if you hadn't taken them out of the box nurse would have given us some this afternoon anyway" she declared.
 Well, l didn't do it all. you told me to take them outl" and Jack threw the shovel down, almost hitting the old sand crab.
 'I did not" Jamie screamed, stamp ing her foot.
 "Oh dear, oh dear" sighed Old MT. Sand Crab. I'm sure children would be much happier if they would only try to be more obedient and not quar- rel"
 Then he crawled away where there wasn't so much noise to make his poor old head ache
 Now, If course sand crabs are funny fellows, and think funny things. iut perhaps Jack and Jamie would have had a better time playing on the beach if they had waited until nurse said they could have the cakes. What do you think?

 grabbed him and when Barnabus saw all of those upraised dunoe caps over his head he left out terrible scream and in his struggle to get away he stumbled and fell down steep cliff and all of the books and the dunce caps that the teacher-men car ried fell upon him and then--Barna- bus sat up, for you see he had been asleep and had rolled down the bank, and the teacher-men were part of 8 dream, but 1t wasn't all a dream for just as he scrambled to his feet he heard the cry of Preacher!

And then he found that he was cold and hungry, and he wanted his mother and his dinner, and so he juss turned right around again and forgot all about the sea and wanting to be sailor, and he went to school the next morning and didn't miss word. And he never, never had to wear dunce cap again.
 Tell you about the Teacher Bird ?n Well this little warbler is smaller than an English sparrow, and he is very shy little fellow indeed He is an American citizen for the most part of the year, and is frequently called the oven bird, because his nest is round, something like the shape of an old fashioned Dutch oven (perhaps when you visit grandmother's in the country she will show you a Dutch oven) and it is so nearly the color of the leaf covered ground that 1t is hard to find. The upper part of the oven birds body is olive green and he has golden crown and spotted breast. The next time you are out for . walk listen closely and try to hear the teacher bird that played such fine joke on Barnabus Bump.

 However, Barnabus Bump. after missing three words, one after an other, in school, and having to stand in the corner and wear the dunee cap, decided to run away the very next day
 So Barnabus Bump collected all of his treasures and tied them up in a handkerchief and started down the road at good pace before any of his family were up. By breakfast time he had placed several miles behind him though in passing the little school house With it's bare windows and scared doors, he shivered over pain ful memories and hurried on without a backward look.
 Along about noon the weary little boy was worn out and hungry. Tramping alone Is such lonesome busi- ness, and the sea was not yet in sight, so Barnabus sat down against big tree to rest in it's friendly shade.
 By and by he heard somebody call ing, Teacher Teacher," Barnabus Bump shivered and hastily crawled behind nearby hedge. Still the call came nearer. Teacher. Teacher. And then somebody with a voice just like his own teacher answered.
 Here was>.a -lce state of things. Hadn't he run away from his own dear mother and father, and his home where there were lots of good things to eat, to go to sea just so he would never hear the hateful word Teacher again? And here 1t was following hiin

ANcE there was little boy who
 didn't like to go to school He lived in a thinly settled country
 and had to go through a long stretch of woods to reach the school house. His name was Barnabus Bump.
 You think that funny name? We'll so do I.
 Barnabus Bump decided that he did not want to go to school any more. He made up his mind to run away and go to sea; he imagined that he would not have to work on board ship, but just sail and sail, and dream and dream, and in the end find him

"lt was said on board later noWeV- CT, that this performance was for the purpose of clearing the way for the White Star ship, which at that time was the only agent in those waters capable of towing che Audacious to 8 shoal haven.
 Neither the Liverpool, herself nor the other small warships thet had steamed to the work Of rescue, was capable or saving tho supcrdread- naught
 q, was decided instantly that tue Liverpool could better risk hitting a mine than could the Olympic which was later to tow ,he Audaolous, and for this reason the Liverpool made her maneouyer ahead Of the Olympic as feeler for mines.
 sBardly had the Liverpool cut across our bow when the order was given to man tho starboard hfeboats. More volunteers answered than the boats could accommodate, and when it ar rived for the time of action the 0lym- pies crew fought to get into the small boats. SO eager were the sailors to do something for tho sailors on the seem ingly doomed Audacious
 When one of the boats hit the wa ter they found in it little bellboy, n years old, who carried messages to and from the purser's office.
 Captain changeo Plan.
 "Although tho starboard llfeboats were manned, Capt Paddock suddenly changed his plan. Instead Of drop ping down on the port aide of tho pounding warrior he decided to put about and approach on the starboard side By so doing he made lee, which enabled the fourteen lifeboats dropped from the port side to occom- piish task that never could have been done if the original plan had been carried out
 "The seas were high and the men in the 0iympic's lifeboats had a hard pull. It took them twenty minutes to get over to the Audacious. which lay about 800 yards away. We could see the crew at quarters. They were the calmest body of men ever saw. Through the binoculars the captain Of the AudacioHs was seen walking up and down the deck calmly with his hands behind his back

Instantly four men came to the sur face and cluteblng at the beckets. hauled themselves up onto the keel.

 'It was a fine piece Of work, Q beau tiful pickup On Che deck Of the Audaclous the officers directed lhe work of sending off the crew.

The men who told the story were James R. Beames, leader Of the or chestra on the White Star liner oiym- pic. which rescued tho crew of the Audacious and made fruiaess efforts to tow the batleship to shoal waters, and Hugh Griffiths, one of tho orehes. tra's musicians.
 The story Of Beames, who was helped from time to timo by Griiiithe' was substantially as follows:
 we sighted land on Tuesday 0c- tober 27. at 10 o. m. The land was Tory Island. An hour later we went below when one of the stewards came up to our quarters and said: You had better get up on deck and see those two lovely warships. The pas sengers soon got wind of the presence of war vessels and there was much uneasiness among them.

 The impression was that she had been torpedoed it was said and tho other big war craft sought to escape similar fate by getting out of the danger zone es quickly as possible. Only the Liverpool was standing by when the Olympic came along, but about the time the White Star lin- CTS iifeboats were in the water a half dozen destroyers and trawlers came out from Lough Swilly
 The maneouyers of the Olympic in making fast to the Audacious and try- ing to tow her to the shoals were in- tensely interesting as described by the spectators. The destroyer Fury ar- rived at the Olympic's stern at high speed and Q heaving line was thrown to her. In this fashion stouter line was carried out and four bis manila hawsers and steel cable were taken from the Olympic over and made fast 10 the AudaciOus.
