Children's Evening Story

in the bushes. But where is he?"
They went a step nearer, feeling a
little frightened, it seemed so quiet
and deserted around the hut. Had
something happened to their old
friend, the wood chopper? A big tree
had fallen across the door Of the hut,
almost hiding it from sight.
For a moment they were afraid that
Uncle David had been crushed under
the tree. Then they heard his voice
calling to them cheerfully from inside
the hut:
Hey. there. I'm glad you've come,
whoever you are! The windows too
, small to crawl out of, and l can't open
the door. You run along that path
through the pines till you come to Sam
I Harvey's camp and tell him to come
down and chop this tree in two, so !
can get out
The children lost no time in bringing
help and Uncle David was soon stand
ing outside his hut. laughing at their
frightened faces.
mot hurt a mite he assured them.
I'D just stepped into the hut to get
another pair of mittens when that old
tree I'd partly cut through came top
ping over right against the door. Now
We'll make a good day Of It,"
1t certainly was a good day which
the children spent at the hut in the
woods. Uncle David introduced them
to his pet gray squirrel and told them
stories about the birds and animals
he had got acquainted with in the big
pasture. Doris and Ben could hardly
believe their eyes when they saw the
chickadees come flying to the old
mans shoulder and eat crumbs from
his hands.
"All the wild things are my friends
said Uncle David, but | like these
little birds best"

thought of a name for your camp.

ways call it The Chickadees' Inn

EAR OLD CASES

Sigourney, April II. In the district
our at an adjourned session the case
Of w. r. nugget VS.. r. Fl. Payne ct al.
was on trial on a motion filed by the
plaintiff to correct record. This Is a
matter of a number of years standing.
In 1903 the plaintiff brought a fore.
closure proceedings against the defend
ants on a mortgage covering certain
real estate. Decree Of foreclosure was
granted and the mortgaged land sold
on execution sale and the Judgment
satisfied as TO some Of the defendants.
The plaintiff in his motion now claims
that there was a misdescription in the
foreclosure proceeding and that a Ger.
tain forty acres of land was omitted In
this preceding and he now asks that
the record be so corrected as to include
this forty acres of land. Much docu-
mentary evidence was introduced and
a number of letters read to the court
which showed that a settlement be-
tween the parties was in fact had at
the time. The court after hearing the
testimony n the argument of the at.
torneys denied the reues-asked by. the
plaintiff and rendered judgment cancel.
ing the judgment with costs against
the plaintiff. The plaintiff through his
attorney excepted to the courts finding
and indicated that al appeal to the
supreme court will be taken.
Today the court will hear the parti-
ton case of Joseph Aller ct al. VS.. Mary
Aller. In this case the plaintiffs and
the defendant are the children and
heirs at law of Hubert Aller deceased,
who died about one year ago. He own
ed a valuable farm consisting Of 100
acres. but it appears some years before
his death MI. Aller conveyed this land
TO the defendant. but the plaintiffs al
lege this deed was never delivered to
the defendant. is VOID and OF no effect
and they ask the court to so find and
for the partition Of the land. A large
number of witnesses have been sub.
poehaed on both sides of the case and
every inch of the ground will be holly
contested.

tersely.

Very well. Too late this evening,
however. Tomorrow you may tele-

But what's the idea of it all? If the
old man wants to go away, well and
good. But why can't we run things?
Where do you come in?"
Mr.. Hedge smiled family. a digniied
yet not unpleasant proceeding.

he answered. "1n fact, for the time be.
ing, I I'M your father"
Good Lord" The exclamation came
from the lips of Billy Brooke. He sur.
veyed the stranger from head to heels
with plain intent to express contempt.
Why, he was bigger himself!
Il prefer. however. to be called Mr..
Hedge. And the reason that you can
not run things is that l am going to

There was a snap in his voice that

the little girl in a low voice. Il

Uncle" David Hale was a wood
chopper, and the children had long
been promised a days visit to his hut
up in the big pasture.
They stood quiet, almost holding
their breath, as they waited for some
sound in the stiffness of that lonely
place.
81 can't hear any az" whispered
Doris, "but l can hear something else,
cant you, Benz"
"Only chickadees," returned Ben.
They can't help us any"
"Mayme they can" Doris held up
her finger. Listen again, Ben, and
you'll see. Most all the songs come
from one place.
"You know Uncle David is always
telling us about his feeding the chick
adees till they come all around his
camp as thick as bees" said Doris.
Wen go and see anyhow" agreed
Ben. might as well go n way as
another"
They went down into the hollow,
stopping now and then to listen to the
voices of the chickadses. Where the
bird chorus led them they followed,
and sure enough, in a little while they
came out into a clear space where a
camp fire was just dying down, and all
around N the snow were c%hickadees
feeding.
That's Uncle David's doings," cried
Ben. Look! I can see his hut up there
