were his father and mother and broth
ers and sisters? Were such dreadful
things happening to them as had hap
pened to him? Would he ever see
them again?
Presently he heard a far-away whis-
tie, sad. anxious whistle. 1t was the
whistle of his father. Bob White. He
was calling his family together. Then
he heard answering whistles and he
knew that the others were safe and
would soon join Bob White. But he
crawled to the doorway and peeped out.
He could see the great dog and the
cruel two-legged creature with the ter
rible fire stick far away on the otner
side of the field. He tried to leap INTO
the air and fly as he had been used TO
doing, but only Topped helplessly. one
wing was useless and dragged on the
ground 1t hurt so that the pain mace
him faint.
He closed his eyes and lay still for
few minutes painting. Then new
thought filed him with another terrlpie
fear. If Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote
or Redtail the Hawk should happen
along how could he escape without the
use of his wings? If only he were not
alone. If only he could reach ms
father and mother! Perhaps tney
could help him. He struggled 10 ms
feet and began to walk toward that
distant whistle It was slow work. He
was weak and faint and the dropping
wing dragged through the sttn stuppis
hurt SO that it seemed as if he could
not stand it. Often he squatted down
and painted with WEAKNESS and pain
and fright Then he would go on
again. He was terrible thirsty, out
tbere was no water to drink. So at
last lns' he crawied under a fence, and then
suddenly right in front of him was one
of those two-legged creatures! Kignt
then and there the little Bob Whlte
gave up all hope.

That wounds another without need.

Squatting under the brown dead leaves

the old house made long ago in the
wheat field of Farmer Jones by Johnny
Chuck was one of the children of Bob
White. Tears filled his eyes, tears of
fright and pain. He tried to wink them
back and to think what he should do
next, but he was too be-wil-dered to
think. To be bewildered Is to be SO up
set that you cannot understand what
has happened or is happening. 1t was
just so with this little Bob White
With mis- brothers and sisters he had
been happily picking up his breakfast
that beautiful October morning. With
out the least warning a great dog had
threatened to catch him and he had
taken to his swift, strong, little wings.
AS he did SO he had seen a great two
legged creature pointing stick at him.
but he had not feared. All summer long
he had seen two-legged creatures like
this one and they had not harmed him.
Indeed, he had come to look on them
as his friends, for had not Farmer
Browns boy watched him and his
brothers and sisters day after day, and
not once offered to even brighten them ?
So he had no fear of this one.
Then from the end of that stick
pointed at him had leaped fire and
smoke. and there had been terrible

something had stung, and burned, and
torn his tender flesh, and one of his
swift strong. little wings had become
useless SO that he fell heavily to the
ground Then he had run swiftly until
he found this hiding place, and, with
his little heart going 'pit-a pat. pit-a-
pat with terror. had squatted close un-
der the friendly brown leaves while the
great dog and the two-legged creature
had looked for him. Now they had
given him up and gone away. At least
he could not hear them.
What did it all mean Why had this
dreadful thing happened to him? What
had he done that the two-legged crea-
ture should try to kill him with the
terrible fire-stick? Was 1t any wonder
that he was be-wil-dered? Outside the
day was as beautiful as ever. but all
the JOY of it was gone. Instead it was
dlled with terror. What should he do
now? What could he do? Where

cloth is the best choice. 1t does not

suit so late in the season, it is possible.
early in August, to buy q taneta or serge

later on. And really a one-piece frock
with a big topcoat is quite as convenient
nowadays for travelling as a coat suit is
