LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
A Scandal in the Old Orchard.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Copyright. 1915. by J. G. Lloyd.
Old Lady Gossip Is out for a walk.
Her .mischievous tongue In Just Itch
Pcrchance you may meet her and
should you. 1 pray
Just stop UP your ears and keep
straight on your way.
That Is the surest way OF keep
ing from hearing unpleasant things
about your neighbors, and nobody
wants TO hear such things. or course
not. But once In a while things hap
pen that you just can't help hearing
about. II was this way In the Old
Orchard. The fact Is there was a
dreadful scandal In the Old Orchard.
A scandal. you know, Is a wrong act
which makes people talk and brings
Disgrace. When Tiny the Warbler
and Mrs. Tiny found a strange egg
In their beautiful little nest they
knew 1t had been put there by some
enc who was too lazy to build nest
OF her own and who wanted to get
rid OF the trouble OF raising her own
children. Can you think OF anything
worse or more disgraceful than that?
That Is the way Tiny and Mrs.
Tiny felt about It. They felt that
1t was disgrace to the Old Orchard
TO have such person there. They
went about among their neighbors
making careful inquiries to try to
find out IL any one had seen a
stranger about. for they felt sure
that no one of their neighbors would
do such thing. but they didn't tell
any one about that hateful egg in
their nest. That night Mrs. Tiny sat
on the two eggs--her own and the
hateful strange egg-trying to de-
eide what they should do. She
couldn't half sleep for thinking. In
tho morning there were three eggs
In the nest--two Of her own and the
strange egg. When Tiny came to
say good morning and found another
beautiful egg Of their own he was
not at all happy and proud a. he
would have been but for that hateful
