I sailed it along, with Alice run ming after it and yelling at the top o1 her voice. I thought it was just toe funny for anything.
 But I was very careful not to really injure the hat, for could plainly sec how much Alice thought of it. So after Iihad leased her long enough, picked out small patch of earth, or the side of the road, where the soft green grass was just beginning to show itself, and I set the hat gently down upon it.
 With cry of joy Alice, jumped for it and picked it up. Then she went on her way and for quite while she held on to the hat with one hand as she walked.
 But I didn't bother her again though was sorely, tempted to whisk that hat off just once more.
 So, you see, perhaps after all I'm not quite so mischievous a fellow as you had thought!

Hal and His Great Big Apple

~HIS is the story of bad boy
 of two bad boys. So, if you
 don't care to read about bad - boys, perhaps you had better look elsewhere on this page for some thing to read. And yet Hal for that was his name, wasn't really bad; but he was mischievous and full of pranks,'' as his Uncle Will often said about him. And Tommy? Well, you will see what Tommy was later on.
 When he wished to, Hal. could be very polite, and very good and, as his mother sometimes said of him, "a per- feet little gentleman" He was, you see, much like the little girl of the old rhyme-''There was a little girl, and she had a little curl, right in the mid dle of her forehead; and when she was good she was very, very good, but when she was bad she was horrid.' Lots of us are that way, don't you think? So, we'll not laugh at Hal but we'll maybe we'll even feel sorry for him and hope he will grow better as he grows up.
 As Hal left for school the other day old Aunt Dinah, the cook, gave him a great big, luscious red apple as an extra treat for lunch. My, what a beauty it was! And how Hal did want to eat it right away instead ot waiting until lunch time came!
 The chances are. too, had it not

liked Tommy, for he was such a bully"
 Just then Teacher returned, pulling Tommy along by his arm. His face was very red and he seemed to be crying. He went to his seat very meekly, however, and sat down
 Hal smith" said Teacher sternly, You find that apple and bring it to my desk. Tommy says you gave it to him and that it was filed with red pepper -+ a
 Hal picked the apple up from the floor and walked slowly to Teachers desk. He. held it behind him, and he was very; very frightened.
 Hand it to me-" said Teacher.
 Hal obeyed.
 ''Yes," said Teacher presently, after examining it closely. there is red pepper in. it. Now, Hal Smith, what do you mean by putting pepper in an apple and giving it to Tommy? An- swer me, sir; what do you meani''
 -pul-lease, Teacher, did didn't give it to Tommy He-he snatched it out of my hand, so he did''
 Then Teacher called Tommy still rubbing his mouth and blinking to keep back the tears. And right there. before the whole school, she "got at the bottom of the thing" as they say.
 Tommy had to admit that he had snatched the apple from Hal; and also that he had done precisely the same thing the day before. And, would you believe it, Teacher actually smiled and had to turn to her desk and pretend to be busy with some papers on it to keep the children from seeing her laughing.
 But, both boys were kept in after school. And Teacher talked to them. Hal. however, was detained only g. half hour, while Tommy received a full hour of confinement and another half hour the next day. Teacher said that Hal had been bad enoughs but | that Tommy's actions were worse. ] What do you think about it?
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-04-02

very angry, but trying. valiantly not to make. a noise which would attract Teachers attention.
 He seized, piece of paper and wrote rapidly on it. Then he tossed it over his shoulder on Tommy's desk. The paper read, Don't you dare take a bite of that apple, Tommy Greenl%
 That young man read it and laughed almost loudly enough for Teacher to hear, Then he kicked the back of Halls chair and then--with all the chill dren watching him--he bent down he hind his big geography and took a bite of the apple.
 A second or two passed and then Tommy sprang to his feet.
 "Oh, oh, oh--ouch. Teacher Teacher!. Oh-it's burning me up! It's burning nae up." he yelled, danc- ing up and down and grabbing at his mouth with both hands.
 The apple fell from his hands and rolled along the floor.
 Tommy Greeni" roared Teacher. What is the meaning of this! What is the matter."
 'Water! Wa-wa-water!" gasped Tommy. Teacher, can I get-get -whew-water? But he didn't wait for an answer; he just turned and rushed out of the room. | Teacher went after him.

looking for something, oh dear me yes. And they were looking with all their might-in the corners of the garden, among the dead leaves and over the bushes.
 q know what they wantl" ex- claimed the little old lady suddenly, they want something to make their nest with Of course that's what they are looking forts as plain as day. They have already decided where their nest is to be and they have come to my garden for the material! Now what in the world have I got for them.?" She thought and thought, and she was just about to decide she had nothing suitable, when she happened .to remember some pieces of old linen
 that she had stored away in her at
 tic. "I'll go and get that linen for
 them" she said to herself. Robin saw her go, and remarked to
 his little mate, "I wonder why she went in so suddenly? Do you suppose we frightened her ?'' But the little mate was so interested hunting nest stuffs that she didn't even reply, so he went on hunting too.
 Before they had quite assured them selves that there was nothing suitable in the garden, the little old lady was back, and what do you suppose she
 had in her hand? White pieces! Oh,
 so many white pieces! And as she
 walked down the garden path, she dropped bits of thread behind her and didn't seem to notice that she did so. Look here! Look here!" called Robin to his mate who was just get
 ting ready to depart for some other place, "she's dropping threads!
 Threads that are just what we want! Wait bit on this tree and we can get some for our nest!" So the two robins flew over to the tree and waited. The little old lady saw them, and
 understood what they were waiting
 for quite as we'll as if she knew bird talk, and she went right on dropping threads and dropping threads, till there were plenty of threads fora nest
 right in plain sight on the garden path.
 Then she sat down over by the fence and rested.
 "Do you know" said Robin, "I be- lieve she put those there for us I be- lieve she knows what we wanted,' '"Let's try taking some," said Mrs.
 Robin, eff they are put there for us, she won't say anything, but if they'r
 not for us, she'll drive us away."' So the robins flew down and picked up
 some threads and the little old lady
 didn't say word, she just sat there
 as still and happy looking as could
 be! So the robins. knew the threads were for them. :, eff she cares that much for us, J
 said Mrs. Robin, T think I'd like to live in her yard"
 q would too,' said MT. Robin, so they didn't go back to the old nest;
 no, they made a new one in the old pear tree. And every morning, the 1 little old lady put fresh threads on the walk and the nest was the finest the robins ever made.
 | Of course they told their robin friends about her kindness, and other robins came there for nest supplies, SC
 that now the little old lady is never
 lonesome-s1ie has so many bird
 friends. I know, for this is a true Storv

MT. Robin Redbreasf's Best Frieno

"A OW this year." said Mir. Robin
 Redbreast to his little mate as
 they flew northward in the early U k spring, q mean to pick out a building place that will do for all sum- mer. Remember how we had to change last year? We must be more careful with our first selection, this time.''
 'Indeed we must,' agreed Mrs. Robin Redbreast as she flew along by his side, i've must be sure to pick out place where there is plenty of good building material, too. Remem- Der how far we had to hunt for the nest lining last year? We must learn by experience and chose more wisely this time" And so they planned and talked as they flew along-quite like all folk and creatures plan for a new home.
 Snug in the fork of a big apple tree, they started their nest. But the find- ing of material was no easy job. 'I believe we must be very late," said Mr. Robin Redbreast, after he had hunted a whole day for just what. he wanted to make his nest of "All the choicest materials are gone. Or at least can IlOt lIllu lueLl. 1NCAC year We IIluSL liOI loiter on our trip north as we did this time. We must come quickly and get ahead of the blackbirds. They have their nests all finished and feel sure that they are the ones who have picked the ground so clean of soft nice stuffs."
 Mrs. Robin Redbreast was some what disconcerted by such a long speech. You see Robin was usually more of worker than a talker, es-. pecially at nest building time, and she : knew that he must be very upset, or he would never say so much. So she remarked contentedly, Never mind Robin, I'm sure you will have the best nest we have ever had. Wait till we get this outside finished and then I, too, will hunt for the soft bits. Maybe if we go together we will have better success"
 So they worked diligently hunting and building, till the strong outside was finished. Then together they flew off in the search of the inside ma- terial.
 Now it just happened, that this very same spring, there lived in a little house not far from MT. Robin Red- breasts home, a dear little old lady. And because her babies were all grown up into men and women, and because she liked her home fireside too well to leave it and live in some ones else house, she lived in her same little old

 Ha! Ha! What pranks I can play! I just love to come up all of sudden on day that seems to be the fore runner of real warm springtime and suddenly swoop down upon people with my chilly breath. Ugh! What fun it is to watch them. And how some of them exclaim, "Well, I thought spring was here to stay-but this certainly doesn't feel like it!"
 Often as I blow along I'll find a nice pile of leaves and then with what glee I fall upon them, pick them up and scatter them broadcast.
 But think the most fun is to snatch peoples hats off their heads and then laugh at them. chasing them. Laugh? Why, to be sure laugh. Just listen when I'm blowing and you'll hear me shrieking with laughter. Sometimes it sounds like mere murmur-then I'm chuckling to myself in high glee.
 Well, only the other day I had such fun. Little Alice was tripping merrily along on the edge of the village re- joicing in the fact that the morrow would be Saturday, hence no school. And. too. she felt rather proud of her

l been so very near nine o'clock that he had to run as fast as he could to
 keep from being tardy-the chances are, repeat, Hal would have eaten
 that apple on the way to school. But, as the morning wore on, with
 class after class, he thought of that
 nice red apple reposing snugly in his
 desk and consoled himself. with the thought of how delicious it would be when he, did bite into it. And also,
 he wasn't going to give anyone else so much as the core! During. the arithmetic lesson, when Aside was reciting at the blackboard and B-side, on which, alas, Hal was seated, was studying for the coming
 lesson in geography-he watched his l opportunity and extracted the apple from his desk. With his big geography in front of
 him as shield. he held up the apple
 so the boys and girls around him
 might see it. Then he smacked. his l lips, being very careful not to make
 a noise that might attract the atten-
 tion of Teacher, and grinned at them, as much as to say, Don't you wish you had it! Gee, but bet it's good!' l. Then, suddenly, a hand reached
 over his shoulder, swiftly and surely
 seized the apple and .snatched it away. | It was Tommy Green,' who sat in the
 seat right behind Halls, and who; also,
 was the real "bad boy of the school.
 Hal wheeled around on him. Say, what are you doing-?" he began. "Hal. What does this mean!" de- handed Teacher turning from the l board where she had been showing Mary Ellen how to subtract ,075 from 1,705.
 Hal sat erect in his seat. "Yes- sum-" he said. s
 If you attempt.to speak to Tommy again, Hal, shall keep you in after school,'' said Teacher sternly. Y
 "Ye - yessum,'' answered. II a, | Teacher continued her, figuring at the blackboard. i~,- ,,s
 Hal wrote a note, telling Tommy
 he didn't make any threats, for Tom
 my was also the bully of the school, the boy who picked on" those smaller and moro itimid than himself. Then
 Hal tossed the note over his shoulder to IOI1Ily, WHO pIckeu IL up, read IL and laughed scornfully-though not loud enough for Teacher to hear. When recess came and Tommy
 walked out with the apple, Hal went
 to him and asked him to return it. But all Tommy said, as he bit into the luscious, red apple was. "Go on-go chase yourself!'' | What Hal thought and how badly l he felt need not be told, for you can livery easily imagine it.
 The next day Hai appeared with an- other red apple, but one not quite so large. And again, during arithmetic lesson for Aside, Hal took it out of his desk and,, under the protection of his big geography, held it up for the other children to see.
 Suddenly. again. the hand reached out over his shoulder and snatched the apple away.
 But Hal didn't cry out at all. In stead. he seemed to be very red and

Then, you may be sure, a perfect bedlam of noise broke out in the room T guess. that'll fix him! I guess that'H fix .him!" cried Hal, joyfully and proudly. He won't snatch any more of my apples, I bet you!"
 The questions poured in upon him. What did you do, Hal?'' What was the matter w it h the apple ?'' "How-?'' ''Why-?" And lots more.
 When; Hal could make himself heard he cried out, T made holes all over it-little teeny-weenys ones and filled 'em with red pepper!'

But perhaps the most exciting moments I ever. had over a meal were in the case of calves feet jelly. It was hardly possible not to believe that some part of it was hol- low and that sooner or later my spoon would lay open the secret, tabernacle of the golden rock. There might one find the treasures of the Forty Thieves and bewildered Cassim beating about the walls. And so quarried on slow ly with bated breath. Believe me, had little palate left for the jelly; and though preferred the taste when I took cream with it used often to go without, because the cream dimmed the transparent fractures.'

 Then, just as she was getting too forlorn and lonesome to be comforta- ble, ,who should come flying into her yard but MT. and Mrs. Robin Red breast. Now they look as if they were hunting for something said the little old lady watching them thought fully, If sit very still maybe I will

She said: You cannot imagine how fortunate I was to live in the suburbs, for I really believe it was 1 the sight of the green trees outside my window that called me back to life. The leaves used to nod to me, and in the most coaxing way they whispered their invitation to me to join them in the sunshine, and when the trees blossomed I was allowed to I lie by the window and pour out my thankful heart to the flowers for the great good they did me-"
 | Did you know that when President Mckinley lay very ill he asked the nurse to allow the window shades to remain up? "Let me see the trees ,' he said, sthey are so beautiful" | In Spain there is a saying that the man who plants a tree on a highway does good act. Perhaps they feel the same way in other countries of the old World, for now Arbor Day is celebrated in England, Scotland, France, Italy, Australia and in South Africa.

Since that year.. in Nebraska alone hundreds of thousands of acres of trees have been planted.
 From MT. Morton's home, Nebraska, Arbor Day has spread through the United States, until now it is observed from Maine to Oregon and from Min nesota to the Gulf of Mexico.
