TRIES TO DRIVE SKINNER FROM
THE OLD ORCHARD.
By Thornton ". BURGESS,

One of the queer things about
wronging another is the feeling that
you do not want to see the one you
have wronged anywhere about. That
Is n of the ways conscience prickS.
Now, YOU wouldn't think from the
way he acts that Bully the English
Sparrow has any conscience. Per-
haps he doesn't know he has himself.
But, just the same, he has. Every
body has. Nobody is so bad that
somewhere down deep inside there is
not ome good, and conscience is this
good trying to make itself felt.
Now. you know that Bully and Mrs.
Bully had boldly robbed Skinner the
Swallow n Mrs. Skinner of their
home. Poor Skinner and his little
morning trying to get, their HON
back. But it had been of no use. and
now. almost hear broken. aching and
smarting from their wounds. they sal
side by side on a dead branch of an
apple tree where they could see their
lost home.
IT'S of no use to try to get them,
for they are stronger than we," said
Skinner sadly. But If we watch
maybe they will both leave the house,
n then we can get in. If we can

"My beautiful eggs! They broke
my two beautiful eggs" moaned lit
tie Mrs. Skinner. And they've torn
that nest We worked so hard to build
all to pieces"
Never mind said Skinner, trying
to comfort her. IF we can't get our
house back there are other houses we
can move into, and I'll work twice as
hard as I did before to help you build
another nest. Hello! What does
that wretch want now"
Mrs. Skinner looked up to see Bull
ly flying in their direction. They
didn't have long to wait to find out
what he wanted. He flew at them
savagely, a little feathered fury.
Get out of here! Get away from
the Old Orchard and stay away! l
don't wan to see you hanging
around!' he cried.
You see, Bully had guessed what
was in their minds. More than that,
he knew right down in his heart that
he had done them a great wrong. and
though he wasn't the least bit sorry
he didn't like to be reminded Of 1t by
seeing them about. That was the
pricking of his conscience, though
Bully would not have admitted it. So.
having done them one wrong, he
made up his mind that he would do
them another. He would drive them
out Of the Old Orchard altogether.
You will find that almost always one
wrong leads to another.
Now, Skinner and Mrs. Skinner
had no difficulty in keeping out OF
Bullys way. for you know they are

A family moved from the citv to a
suburban locality and were told that
tney should get a watch dog to guard
me premises at night. So they bought
the largest dog that was for sale in
the Kennels of a neighboring dog fam
cler, who was a German. Shortly
afterward the house was entered BY
burglars, who made a good haul, while
the big dog slept. The man went to
the dog fancier and told him about it.

tried to alight for a moments rest
Bully drove hen into the air again.
He gave them no peace. Finally. they
were obliged to leave the Old Orchard
altogether, though they lie not go
far. Then, boasting loudly, Bully re-
turned to the house he had stolen and
which Mrs. Bully had not left un-

noisily talked 1t all over, and planned
to begin building their own nest at

A FIGHT FOR A HOME.
BY Thornton w. Burgess.
Copyright, 1914, by j. G. Lloyd.)

Though lighting usually is wrong
Sometimes 1t may be right.
When people try to steal from you
By all bravely fight.
That is what Skinner the Swallow
and Mrs. Skinner were doing this
bright, beautiful morning in the Old
Orchard while all their neighbors
looked on and encouraged them. You
see, they had been getting their
breakfast, leaving their home un-
guarded, for they had no fear that
any one would harm it unless it was
Chatterer the Red Squirrel, and they
knew that he was paying an early
morning visit to the Green Forest,
So they ate their fill, and then, twit-
tering happily, they came Swimming
back home, through the Old Orchard
Just think how they felt when they
came in sight of their home and saw
the nest they had worked so hard tc
build lying on the ground all tattered
and torn and their two precious eggs
broken! With wild cries Of sorrow
and anger they darted forward. Thei,
first thought was that Farme,
Browns boy must have done this
dreadful thing while they were away,

for they could think Of no one else.
But at the sound of their voices a
stranger appeared in the doorway Of
their house. 1t was Mrs. Bully, who
that very morning had come to the
Old Orchard to join Bully the English
Sparrow. and had right away decided
that they would live in the Skinner
house. Bully himself suddenly darted
down at them from the old apple tree.
mined and warlike in the way he
struck at them with his short, stout
bill. Is.
Now, Skinner the Swallow, he of
the white Waistcoat, who makes his
home in the old houses of Drummer
the Woodpecker and sometimes in the
little houses hat thoughtful people
who love him put up for him. is one
Of the gentlest of birds and not at all
quarrelsome. He is beloved by all his
neighbors, and lives on the happiest
terms with them
But for all his gentleness he is not
a coward. Oh, my, no! Skinner
is just as brave as any one, and when
he must fight Will fight just as hard
as he knows hoW,;S To see his nest de-
stroyed and his stho1se taken away
from him more than he could
stand, and he darted forward, mean
ing to pull Mrs. Bully out of his door
a He felt hat if he could once
get her out and get in himself Bully
n Mrs. Bully would never be able
to get him out again.
But Mrs. Bully was all ready for
him, and though he got her by the
feathers On the top of her head and
tugged with all his might he couldn't
bulge her. You see, she was too
stout n strong for him. And he
could hold on for only a second or
two, for suddenly Bully struck him
so lard that the blow knocked him
off. And it hurt, too. You see, Bull
lys bill is very stout even it is short,
and Bully himself is very stout and
strong n Skimmer's own bill is very
small and weak. 1t was never meant
for fighting.
In spite of this Skinner and Mrs.
SKINNER did their best. and for a few
minutes the air was full of feathers,
mostly their feathers, while the Old
orchard rang with angry cries. Then
Skinner and Mrs. Skinner had to
fly away to get breath. Bully didn't
try to follow them. He knew better
than to try to catch them in the air,
for they are the most wonderful fiers
In the Old Orchard. while Bully is
slow on the wing. So he was content

were back again soon, and then the
same thing happened all over again.
Bully and Mrs. Bully actually seemed
to he enjoying the fight, and it was
very clear that they knew all about
fighting.
So all that bright morning that
dreadful fight for the house in the an
pie tree in the Old Orchard continued,
and once did Skinner and Mrs
SKINNER succeed in getting Mrs.
Bully out of the doorway so that
they could get in. At last, with their
usually neat, trim clothes ali torn
and with many aching wounds, they
gave up for the time being.

Chiffon for Trimming,

Chiffon flowers are much used on
hats and to catch the drapery on
gowns. Small chiffon fruits, too, are
used. Many of them are made of
several layers Of chiffon of various
shades-red over purple, for instance,
and then silver blue over that. The
results are very interesting.

Let Us Smile.

The thing that goes the farthest to-

That costs the least and fdoes the
most, Is just a pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from the
heart that loves its! fellow-men
Will drive away the clouds of gloom
and coax the sun again.
It's full Of worth and goodness, too,
with many kindness blent,
It's worth a million dollars. and 1t
doesn't cost a cent.
There is no room for sadness when
We see a cheerv smile:
1t always has the same good look; it's
never out of style;
1t nerves us on to try again, when fail
ure makes us blue:
The dimples of encouragement are
good for me and you.
It pays the highest interest-for it is

It's worth a million dollars. and 1t
doesn't cost a cent
A smile mn very easy-you can
wrinkle with a cheer.
A hundred times before, you can
squeeze out a saltv tear;
1t ripples out, moreover. in the heart
strings that will tug.
And always leaves an echo that is
very like a hug.
