WHATEVER reproaeh or privation we impose upon a child must be clearly connected with the offense. The child should always know just exactly why he is being punished. Moreover. the punishment should not be SC long deferred that the child can lose the connection between his offense and the punishment
 such as interference with nnealssor with sleep, should b6 used as a punishment. Nor should useful work or study be discredited by being used as a nneans Of punishment.
 We must remember that punishment Is like medicine. There is no one pun ishfnenf that fits all eases or all chl- dren. Each case must be studied by itself. and the punishment must be made to 1t the oTense and also the oE- fender.

And so it was that Little Mite was saved
by the scarecrow.
But he didn't know this. He didn t
know anything about the scarecrow. All
he knew was that Redtail had stopped
chasing him. for which he was very
thankful. But he kept on running just
the same. hoping that he would come to
a safe hiding place. And so at last he
came to the scarecrow. Now, Little Mite
saw nothing in that to be afraid of. You
see. he had been out in the Great
World so short time that he had never
seen a man, and so he wasn't at all
afraid of the scarecrow because it looked
like a man. 1t didn't move. so right
away he made up his mind that it was
nothing to fear. He was very, very anx-
ious to get somewhere out of sight and
the opening to one of the pants legs
looked like good place. He hesitated
just a moment and scrambled in.
Presently he came to Il mass of hay
and straw. 1t was the body of the
scarecrow. Then Little Mite was sure
this was safe place. You see. he knew
all about hay and straw, and as he bur
rowed his way in he felt quite at home
and for the first time since he had run
away from home he felt quite safe. lie

Old Mr.. Whipple announced his en-

door violently behind him. Under his
thick eyebrows which were scarcely
gray, although his hair was white as
snow. he snapped Z piercing glance at
his daughter Emeline, who sat at the

noise Yet not from that alone. Her
fathers presence always moved her to
actual physical misery. She never drew
free breath in his presence, and she
knew that he knew it. Now. as he spoke,
disaster cluttered about her worse than
the slammins of many doors. For she
had not mended the coat, and she did
not know how to excuse herself.
Did You or didn't you?' shouted her
father.
Emelines heart was going like mad.
No. I'll forgot it
There was silence. She dare not raise
her eyes. though she knew her father $
glare was searching her through and
through. She was trembling all over.
She had forgotten. Why did she so often
forget of late? She had laid the coat in
plain sight where it seemed she could not
overlook it. Her father was taking lis
afternoon nap. and the house was 50

a page in her book In uninterrupted COM

he did was to make place big enough
to curl up in comfort. Then he went to
sleep. and for once he had no bad
dreams.
When he awoke he couldn't think where
he was at first. Then he remembered.
1t was dark and coZy and comfortable
in there. and he decided that it was a
very good place to stay if he could find
enough to eat without going too far
away He felt quite sure that he would
be safe there. and perhaps if he stayed
there his father and mother might, just
might. happen along that way some day
and then he could go back home. First
he would find out all about his new hid
ing place. So he burrowed his way up
through the hay and straw until he came
to a queer substance such as he had
never seen before. 1t was made of threads
very close together. He tried gnawing
this queer substance. but the threads
caught in his teeth and he gave that up.
OF course you know what it was. 1t
was the coat which Farmer Browne
boy had fastened around the bundle of
hay and straw TO make it look like a
man.
Little Mite had a perfectly glorious
time exploring. He climbed all over and
through that scarecrow. He even climb
ed up to the battered old hat that was
on the very top And the more he ex-
plored the better he liked it. He found
lot of seeds still clinging to the hay
with which the scarecrow was stuffed
and this meant food for a little while
without running bit of risk. But what
pleased him most was pocket in the
old coat. Was there ever a better place
for nest? He ran in and out of that
pocket ever so many times and at last
he made up his mind that there was
where he was going to live. SO he be-
gan to carry the softest bits of hay he
could find into the pocket to make
bed Then he made wonderful lind
He had nibbied a hole in the lining of
the old coat and there was the softest
stuff, 1t was cotton padding. He
promptly carried it to the pocket to

r When little Mite Meadow Mouse ran
for his life from Redtail the Hawk
through the rows of Young corn in
Farmer Browns cornfeld he didn't have
the least idea where he was going. His
one thought was to get away from those
dreadful claws stretched out to clutch
him. So he lodged and ran and ran and

ran i'll the direction in which he
could find safety. and that was straight
toward the scarecrOw Farmer Brown $

that frightened away Redtail and saved
