Apparently it had been agreed that
half an hour should elapse before either
side should announce to the public that
a strike threat had formally issued.
Then in the headquarters in the Bel

said that break had come. None OF

Now one day the little tiny children

"Oh, granddaddy. listen to the birds"
The King Of the Clouds had a guilty
conscience and he pretended not to
hear. You see Il guilty conscience Is
n feeling deep inside Of n grown-up,
n child, or an animal. or the cloud
king, which says that we know we
have done wrong and yet hate to ad-
init Il.
But the grandchildren Of the King
Of the Clouds insisted upon his listen.

"The birds are crying for water"
they said. "Shall we give them some?
We hate to hear them cry, and the fai.

to ask you II you wouldn't give them

II know II. but I have been very
busy" said the King Of the Clouds. In
rather a cross, impatient voice. that
creatures use sometimes when they
have put things of and made other
people miserable and yet do not want
TO own up to It. Then It Is that they
make excuses like the cloud king did.
But you haven't been too busy to
hear the sad chirps Of the little blrds?"
asked the grandchildren.
II have been busy" repeated the
King of the Clouds.
"But we're not busy" said the grand
children. MAY we do n little work."
"You are too young. too frail," said
the King Of the Clouds. 81 will get to
1t very soon"
"But, granddaddy. you have kept
saying that. and the birds want water
and still don't get It,"
"Oh, dear" said the King OF the
Clouds, what n nuisance you children
are. Very well. go ahead. Give them
