he could think UP he went over the tops
of the trees and sailed away.
''Ohr' thought Freddy, this is fine,
but ! hope a bird does not come along
and think these are two huge cherries and
pick at them, for il would be long way
to fall
Up and UP he went until Freddie could
feel the hot breath of old Sunman, and
then all at once he stopped right on top
of a high moutnain, for the string TINT
held one balloon had caught fast on a bush.
Freddie tuggedand pulled and at last
the string broke and away sailed the bal
loon, leaving poor Freddie only one with
which to GIT back home.
Freddie stood up, and, taking hold
of the string of the balloon with both
hands, decided he would jump off the
mountain and sail down to earth.
But what should he see but n flock
Of birds flying toward him and crying
loudly: ''Oh, what big cherry There Is
enough for us air
Before Freddie could jump they were
upon him and began to peck at the balloon.
"Bangl" went something close TO Fred
dies ear, and up he jumped from the
ground, for he had fallen asleep, YOU see,
and there beside him was all that was left
OF the balloon, for Freddie had tied the
string to stone 20 keep il from sailing
away, and along came puss and began
TO play with IL just 20 see it bob about.
or course she gave il one hard tap
and stuck a sharp claw in It that made it
explode, but Freddie. when he saw Puss s
frightened face peeping from the bushes
nearby, forgot 10 be angry, she looked so
funny He just rolled over and laughed as
ne thought how she must have run when
the big ball popped.

But although America stood as

practically unanimous in declaring
that if the United States National

Maybe the wintry weather and
dismal rain had something to do
with it. but the men were a grouchv
