THE CUCKOO CLOCK.

julius was very sleepy and he could
hardly keep his eyes open. The whole
trouble was that he hated to do things
on time. He did not like to go to bed
at the house he was supposed to and
he never, never wanted to get up in
the morning when his mother said,
"Time to get up julius. You'll be late
for school,"
And now he was sleepy, now in the
middle of the afternoon. It was rain
ing hard outside and in the big Ii
brary where he was sitting a large
open fire was burning merrily. Near
the fireplace was a cuckoo clock and
julius always loved to watch the little
cuckoo come out and tell anyone who
happened to be listening just what time
it was.
cts almost time for the cuckoo to
come out" said julius. "But oh gra-
cious, how sleepy am. I know was
late in going to bed last night but !
don't see why should be so dreadfully
sleepy. I do hope will stay awake
until the cuckoo says five o'clock. 1t
is so much nicer to hear him on the
hour than at other times, because he
only says cuckoo once when the hand
is at the half hour"
"Cuckoo," said the cuckoo bird in
the clock. And then he said it four
times more. Each time he made a
little bow as he spoke and when he had
said "cuckoo'' for the fifth time, Julius
was waiting to watch the little door
close.
The cuckoo in the clock always lives
behind a little door over the face of
the clock, and when he is not telling
the time he is in there.
But this time the door did not close.
And the cuckoo stayed out Of his little
home bobbing and saying "cuckoO''
many times over, until at last it sound

me by my right name. How are you,
Mr.. Cuckoo Bird of the clock"
The little bird was made Of wood, to
be sure, but he seemed so certain of
himself and so we'll satisfied that Ju.
Illus felt he must be alive.
II am we'll, thank you kindly" said
the cuckoo bird. "But don't have to
ask you"
-"Why not?' asked julius.

ever would you do If you were clock,
/ or if your home was at the top of
onew
"Well, am not in a clock" said Ju-
Illus, "and am jolly glad of it,
"Tut, tut" said the cuckoo bird.
"You ere getting quito cross, Master
julius. Too little sleep. Well, well,
suppose must forgive you. But it's
shame you couldn't live in clock for
time"
"What do you mean" asked julius,
who was quite frightened now. He
felt the little cuckoo bird would hop
down and pick him right up and put
him in the clock.
IF you could live in clock and take
my place you would have to be on time.
Six o'clock would mean six o'clock and
not half-past! >Seven-thirty in the
morning would not mean a quarter past
eight! All no, in the clock we keep
good time. We live On the moment and
on theshours and half-hours we come
time is going by and they mustn't
waste it for it is so extremely precious"
"Don't you believe in people sleep
ing?" asked julius.
"To be sure, to be sure" said the
cuckoo, "but / believe they should
sleep at the right time. They should
not choose another time for it, such as
the middle of the afternoon, because
they sat up too late the night before"
julius was very much ashamed. He
felt the cuckoo bird knew that he had
been doing all that and he wished the
cuckoo bird would go back in his little
horne and shut the door. He was get
ting more afraid every second that he
would be taken back there. And oh
dear, how he would hate to live In a
clock!
"Just suppose" said the cuckoo bird,
"that I did things at the wrong time.
Suppose should come out at six
o'clock and tell everyone it was eight?
You can't imagine 1t, can you? And
why not? Because have had the
training Of a clock. I have been an
assistant in keeping the time and If i
don't notice that you think more of the
time will put you back of the clock"
The cuckoo bird banged his little door,
and julius, awaking with a start, rub.
bed his sleepy eyes, and said,

from now on for how dreadful it must
be to live back Of clock and have the
hours depend so much on YOU"
