The Old Cat Tells How To Make Sparks

No the cat agreed. That is just sign of dinner. It is Il pretty good sign of rain though, when cats lick themselves for cats are very partieu- lar to keep themselves smooth and dry. And it is the dryness of their fur that helps make the sparks show when you rub their back in the dark.
 Can little boys make sparks like a eat?' queried Bobby.
 Yes,' said the cat, Tn winter when il is very cold. You can make a big spark by sliding your feet around on the carpet and touching your finger to a piece of metal If you were to turn on the gas and, after scuffling your feet around the floor, you could touch your finger to 1t and it would light.''
 Little Bobby did not believe the cat until one winter night when, after turning on the gas. he slid his feet around on the carpet and touched the burner which fiared up as though 1t had been lighted with a match. There said the cat Didn't I tell you that little boys could make sparks quite as well as a cat, if they but know how

 ''I am Fairy said the small voice, pleasantly, "one of the millions of fairy helpers to the Fall--as you hu- mans call that season of the year when Summer dies and Winter comes into his own.''
 Edith stopped down and felt of the little creatures flowing garment. That is, she tried to feel it, but her fingers passed clear through it-without grasping thingl She was amazed.
 The Fairy Helper smiled. "I want the Fall to come" she continued, pay. ing no attention to Edith's action. "I am tired of doing nothing. I want to be busy again painting the leaves and helping the Wind to shake them down from the branches and shipping off the flowers and"
 "Ohl How cruel," interrupted Elizabeth.
 The Fairy Helper paused and looked al them inquiringly.
 "Cruel?" she echoed. Why cruel ? fear me you do not quite realize. the purpose of my work. Why, bless your tender hearts, if chilly old Fall didn't set to work with might and main each year, there would be no Spring and Summerl Have you ever thought of that?
 No, We'll, can't you imagine that poor old Mother Earth would become utterly worn out if she had to raise fruits and flowers and vegetables and grain on her broad bosom all the year round? Can't you see that in the Fall and Winter she rests and gets ready. for the growing things of the Spring? {
 "I happened to overhear you two children talking when you were in the woods today. And I felt that l just must set you right in the matter. Good ness me, there are so many people in the world who seem to think it quite the proper thing for them to sigh and speak of the Fall as the sad, depress- ing time of the year And the leaves
 why, bless you. if the leaves didn't fall to earth and lie on the ground all winter and decay and so enrich the soil, there'd be no leaves the next Spring at all, Besides, it doesn't hurt them in the least. I have thousands of friends among them and every one has told me that.
 'To me, the Fall is the most beauti- full time of all the year. for then I am busiest. There are millions of us fairy helpers who go all over the land paint ing everything growing with Autumn tints mixed by old Fall himself. And jolly work it is, Would YOU believe 1t, sometimes the leaves on a tree fair ly fight to be the first to be painted Hey, little Fairy, one will call out gaily, its my turn; paint me and put me to bed for my long winter snoozev

Does 1t make rain when cat neks herself?'
 When no one answered him, he looked around and found he was all alone save for the old cat rubbing herself against the chair.
 Do you know, old cat?' he asked.
 Yes" purred the old cat, T know best of anyone why cats lick them selves and move around before storm''
 "Will you tell me?" asked the little boy.
 If you hold me--there, that's bet ter. I was going to say that just be- fore storm the air is full of cleo trtcity and that you know is what makes the flashes of lightning.
