all the weeping he might do would be
merely wasted.
Not wanting to hurt his cousins
feelings, jolly Robin said that he
would try to weep after he went
home. And that made the Hermit
feel happier once more.
Perhaps you'd like to see our
eggs?" he suggested.
And since Jolly Robin said he
would be delighted to look at them,
if the Hermits wife had no objec-
tion, his cousin led him further into
the swamp. And there. in nest OF
moss and leaves, lined with pine
needles, the Hermit proudly pointed
to three greenish blue eggs, some-
what smaller than those in Jolly's

Hermit grew quite uncomfortable.

BY ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY :

/ ITS a matter Of TASTE" he said
"our family have always preferred
TO build their nests on the ground
And as for me, 1 shall continue to
follow their example. 1t suits
me very well" he added.
Jolly Robin couldn't help laughing'
the sight struck him as being such
an odd one.
"It's a wonder" he remarked
.it's a wonder your wife doesn't bury
her eggs in the sand beside the creek,
like old Mrs Turtle
'Td thank you." said the Hermit
stiffly, mot to say such things about
my wife" And though he spoke
politely enough, his manner was
quite cold. 1t was clear that he felt
terribly insulted.
Jolly Robin saw that he had blum
dered. And wishing to change the
subject, he said hastily:
Wont you sing another song|
So the Hermit cleared his throat
and began to sing again.
Although this song was not so sad
as the first one, jolly Robin did not
like it half so well. The chorus,
especially, he considered quite often
sive. And it is not surprising, per-
haps, that it displeased him, for this
is the way it went;
"Any old vest
May do for the rest;
But l like spotted one best!'
If it hadn't been for that song, Jol-
ly Robin would not have remembered
that lie had intended to speak to his
cousin about his spotted waistcoat.
Jolly had been so interested in the
nest on the ground that the matter
of the waistcOat had slipped out of
his mind. But now he suddenly re-
called the reason why he had come
to see the Hermit. And he disliked
his cousins spotted finery more than
ever.
Thereupon, he resolved that he
would speak about. it, too.
