eaten some crumbs and grain he found
in the yard and was not very hungry,
therefore he felt in the mood to find
fault with the best dinner that could
be served.
Mrs. Redbreast watched him with
anxious eyes. Are these not nice, fat

MRS. ROBIN REDsREAsT.

Mrs. Robin Redbreast was discour-
aged ever since they came north in
the early spring. Mr.. Robin Redbreast
had found fault with her. First 1t was
the place where the nest was built.
Robin told her they could have a nest
in the apple tree or in the old elm at
the end of the lane, and Mrs. Robin
had selected the apple tree because
she thought the apples would be near
at hand when she was on the nest,
but after they were settled Robin told
her if they had gone to the elm they
would not have the sparrows bother
ing them.
Poor Mrs. Redbreast said nothing,
but she sighed as she put the children
to bed and wondered what had come
over Robin.
These children should be taught to
fly" said Robin one morning. They
should be learning to find worms for
themselves. If you were any sort of
mother you would have begun some
days ago."

MUST PAY THEIR JUST DEBTS
Reasons Why They Cannot Re-
pudiate and Do Her Share.

In the Woman's Home Companion
the Rev. DR.. Charles e. Jefferson Of
the Broadway Tabernacle has a SER
mon to grown-up daughters. In it he
gives the following reasons why wom-
en- must forego the privilege of re-
pudiating their debts and pay up like
men.
"A woman, no less than a man, is
in the grip of memorable moral law,
and each alike must pay to the utter
most farthing what he owes" says the
doctor. "a girl on the threshold of
womanhood is in most cases a charm
ing creature, and because of the chival-
rio devotion which is paid her she is
in danger of losing sight of the de-
mands of the eternal law. She must
do her share of the worlds work. She
must begin in the home. She must
pay her debts to her parents, and to
her brothers and sisters. Elder daugh-
tiers can do for their younger sisters
what no one else can do. Standing
between their mother and these young,
er sisters, they can do much to bring
both sides into closer sympathy. Be.
cause of their wider experience they
can understand their mother, and be
cause of their youth they can enter
more fully into the feelings and wishes
Of their younger sisters"

to do, and when night came she had
all the little Redbreasts in a nest two
limbs above their own, and she told
them to go to sleep and not dare to
peep.
Then Mrs. Redbreast began to
watch for Robin. She had not long
to wait, for he flew home early to get
his supper. Having had his dinner
early made him very hungry.
He threw his cap into the nest and
looked about, but instead Of the nice
supper he had expected to find the
nest was empty, not only of food. but
the whole family was gone.
Robin hoped around on the limb.

he looked on the ground, for he
thought the little ones must have
fallen out of the nest and their mother
was watching over them, but no, they
were nowhere in sight. Robin was
hungry, as l have said, and there was
no supper, and he sat on the edge OF
the empty nest, looking very forlorn
and feeling very unhappy.
Mrs. Redbreast, of course, was
watching him, and when she thought
he was punished enough she flew
down. Robin was so glad to see her

had been. He few right over beside
her and pecked her bill, which, of
course, was a kiss. where are the

she prepared the incest supper she
could and they sat down to it.

The children were all right, but she
sat on the side of the nest for few
