until Harry's deep but trembling
voice told the mother that he and
Angy had agreed to share all their
blessings and sorrows as long as they
lived, including the Joy of having her
with them as their mother. AS proof
he pointed to the old fashioned ring
he had placed on Angy's finger.

In it's inner pocket a small package.
Fearing it might tell story, she re-
moved it to her own apron pocket.
After supper was over and her mother
soundly sleeping, Angy opened the
package. It was but folded envel-

contents which proved to be a sheet
Of paper containing a written mes

CHILDREN EVENING STORY 4
this. / love little BIRDS"

! Cnls. love little BIRDS
' Don't be afraid" said the mamma
bird to the children. "You will not
fall. When I was a little bird l was
afraid, too, but nothing happened to
me and have been flying ever since
Come now, jump off the limb into the
air"
ooh, we're afraid" cried the littlest
of the brides. Il.
"Our wings might fall off, and then
we'd drop to the ground" said another
little bird, as It f1uttered back into the
nest.
NONSENSE" cried the mamma bird
"Your wings will not drop off and you
will not fall. You must learn to fly
now. You are getting old enough to
fly for yourselves. Come, Peckie!"
she called to the one who had gone
back in the nest, 'stand in line with
the others and learn to fly"
ooh, mammal! I cant! Really I
can't" cried Pickle, who was given
that name because he had such sharp
little bill for pecking up bread crumbs.
You must learn to fly" said the
mamma bird Your papa will soon be
home, and think how proud he will be
If you can fly to meet him." 90
"Oh, we are afraid!' said the little
birds. #.. .E
It. is just like when baby first learns
to walk. At the beginning he is afraid
to take a step alone. but soon he
grows drawer and toddles all over.
Come! fly" called the mamma
bird.
1--WE are afraid-afraid!" chirped
the little brides.
''Ha! think can help her give
them that flying lesson" said Uncle
Wiggily. II will 60 up In my airship
and float slowly along. I will keep
right under them, and I'll tell the little
birds that if their wings give out, and
if they fall, they will land on my UNI
brella and not get hurt at ALL
So away he went in his airship and
when he got near the top of the tree,
with the electric fan buzzing and the
toy balloons lifting him up, the rabbit
gentleman called:
See me, brides. I am flying, and
you know a rabbit has no WINGS"
EXACTLY" said the mamma bird.
See, little ones! If Uncle Wiggily is
not afraid to fly, you should not be, for
you were made for sailing through the
air and he was not"
"And I'll keep right under you with
my airship, to catch you if you fall"
said Uncle Wiggily. Don't be afraid,
birdies!'
, All right! Here we come!"~cried
Peckie, getting brave all Of sudden.
Off the limb he fluttered, and his
brothers and sisters fluttered after
him Tapping their wings.
ooh, we are flying" they cried joy.
fully.
Il, knew you would" called their
mamma, soaring after them. "And
how proud your papa will be! Thank
you so much, Uncle Wiggily for max
ing my brides brave ,.
"Pray do not mention it," answered
the rabbit gentleman politely as he
sailed about in his airship. .y.
He kept under the little birds for a
while, in case they might fall, but none
of them did, and soon they f1uttered
back to the nest for supper. They had
learned to fly Wasn't that good?
And tomorrow night, if the dish
doesn't run away with the spoon and
go to the moving picture show in our
back yard, I'll tell you about Uncle
Wiggily and Grandmother Goosey
Gander.

Lawn Tennis On
Ice is Newest Fad

New York, Dec. Lawn tennis is
to be played at the Ice Skating Palace,
with Fred b. Alexander in charge Of
the arrangements; in fact, the idea
originated with him. 1t is apparent
that the players OF this game must
meet two big requirements, In the
first place, they must be expert skat-
ers, and, in the second place, they
must be equally expert tennis players.
None but the best of skaters could
hope to play the game. 1t requires
more prompt and decisive action than
hockey, even. Further, it must be
apparent to even the layman that the
players must be expert at handling a
racquet, fol-. unless they are familiar
with the different strokes and the
part the feet play, in making these
strokes, they are certain to come a
cropper. Some five or six years ago
the game was tried. But only one
match was played. 1t caused great
deal of interest and enthusiasm ran
high. At the time there was much
talk about forming all ice tennis
with regularly scheduled
matches throughout the winter
