CHATTERER HEsITATED JUST !
SECOND LONGER AND JUMPED o,
TO THE END OF THE OLD RAIL.

it is not to be wondered at that he
didn't. You see. all the morning the
Merry Little Breezes had been blowing
from the wrong direction. They had
brought that old rail. now humping
against the trunk of the Big Hickory
tree, from the wrong direction. How
was Chatterer to know that they in
tended to turn about now and blow it
back where it had come from? He
couldn't know 1t unless they told him.
and this they had forgotten to do. So
they were quite put out when, after
being urged and urged to get aboard
this fine ship, Chatterer still refused.
well" declared one of the Merry
Little Breezes. this is the very last
time I'll ever try to help you. You
are the most ungrateful fellow I've ever
known. Here we've worked SO hard to
find tie very best ship for you we could
and to blow it over here to you, and
now you won't make use Of it."
But don't you see." protested Chat
Iterer, you've been blowing from the
wrong direction all the time? If I get
on that ship you will blow me out to the
Big River and then Twill be lost"
The Merry Little BreeZes looked at
each other and then they burst out
laughing. They understood now. but
we are not going to blow that way any
more" they cried. I'VE had to bring
this fine ship over here, but If you'll
get aboard well blow you straight to
|shore. Honestly we will Just you try
US and see"
AS Chatterer still looked a wee bit
doubtful some of them began to blow
gently from the opposite direction and

in a minute or two the old rail stopped
knocking against the tree and slowly
began to move away. Chatterer watch
ed it sharply. 1t was moving back in
the direction from which it had just
come. Yes, sir, it was doing just this.
Better hurry and get aboard" whis-
pered one of the Merry Little Breezes.
Chatterer hesitated just a second
longer. jumped on to the end of the
old rail, was overcome with sudden
fright at the thought of that long
voyage and turned to jump back to the
Big Hickory tree. But he was too late.
got to stay where he was. Chatterer
quite lost his head and raced back and
forth along the old rail quite beside
himself with fear.
Meanwhile the Merry Little Breezes
were blowing with all their might, TAX
ing turns, as before, and the queer ship
with its frightened passenger was
slowly but surely drifting toward shore.
At last Chatterer discovered this and
that there seemed to be no real danger.
He sat down facing the shore, and. of
course he had his back to the Merry
Little Breezes. His tail he held up over
his back. Right away the Merry Little
BreeZes began to blow against that
tail and the old rail began to move a
wee bit faster. Chatterer didn't UNDER
stand the reason and lowered his tail.
Put it up, Put it up, Chatterer.
cried all the Merry Little Breezes. 1T
makes the very best kind Of a sail. and
if you'll sit right where you are and
keep your tail up we'll get you to shore
a whole lot sooner"
And this is the way Chatterer found q
new use for his tail.
