"a 04I0 11OluS.
One day Phillip Merrill and his
father visited beautiful little
place in Connecticut.
When they reached the station
they walked down the road until
they came to curious gateposts. On
one of the posts were the words.
"Birdcraft Sanctuary"
Philips father explained to him
that sanctuary meant refuge, I"
and that birds could come here
and be sheltered and live free
from harm.
A high fence OF woven wire
kept out everything which would
harm the birds; not even cats
could climb over the top.
Philips father took him inside
the gate. There were wide paths
made through briery tangles, ana
there was little pond of water.
There were plenty of trees and
in the trees were bird houses of
many kinds.
There Was a cave wide and
airy covered with cornstalks, wncre
birds could be fed on stormy days,
and be snug and cozy.
There was feeding table, and
bath made of cement and stone.
and a tall dead tree was fitted
with suet basket. The tree was
full of places for the birds to
build nests.
There were apple trees for ro-
bins nests, and low bushes for
birds that like to build nearer the
ground.
Cherry trees, berry bushes and
small fruits were planted in the
grounds, for food for the birds in
their season.
The sanctuary rang with the song
OF the birds, and their merry twit-
ter and thrills. Bluebirds, robins,
songsparrows and juncos were
there and many birds which Phillip
did not know.
There were nesting places every
where even in the ends of the
rafter ports of the bungalow
veranda. and there We're round
nest holes in the gateposts them
selves.

of the birds, and we want every
one Of them to Join our club.

II will not harm the birds, and

them. Add your name and address

Did you ever pick up a bird

food will save thousands of birds
during the months of ice and snow.
We have reports from a bird
club in the eact where they are
doing much for the comfort of the
birds. One boy made and put up
nine bird houses, besides making a
feeding house.
Others were doing almost as we'll,
and am sure all will be happier
for being interested in and caring
for their little bird friends.

He put his hands under Jamie's

mouth fell open. He was watching
the shining tool in the mans hand.
jamie turned hot and then cold,
as the tool was pushed gently in
his mouth. He tried to speak but
no noise came.
He wondered would the dentist
pull out all his teeth. He braced
himself for the jerk which he felt

After what seemed to him a
long time the dentist Strengthened

way. Every tooth is sound and
fine" he said, thought-but Jamie
was so busy fishing for his grand

breathlessly from his fright, there
is a note from her.

exclaimed as he took the note and
read it.
He laughed heartily as he ex-
planned to Jamie that he thought
he was boy whom he was Elk

AS he lifted Jamie out of the
chair he asked: What did you
think l was going to do, little
lman?"
Why, why, l thought you were
going to take my teeth out in
stead of grandmother's,' jamie
said as he sidled to the door which
the dentist held open.
