What can be done to improve the

Not by insistently telling the child

by calling attention to the pleasant

DodsIeo.
three times, Miss Junebug had flown
AWAY, leaving poor little Mrs. Lady
bug clingng to blade OF grass and
wondering il she would be able to
move again.
Mrs. Ladybug had attempted to
take Jennie Junebug to task. She
had intended to berate Jennie for
devouring the leaves Of Farmer
Green's trees and to order her to
stop such damage at once. But Jen-
ME Junebug hadn't allowed her to
say much. In her playful way, she
had knocked the breath out of Mrs.
Ladybug. .
Il must try some other plan,"
thought Mrs. Ladybug. "And I'll
have to have help So she sent
Miss Moth over to the meadow to
find Freddie Firefly and ask him il
he wouldn't come to the orchard
because Mrs. Ladybug wanted to
talk with him.
: He came. He came at once; for
he saw Jennie JuneWg looking for
him. And he was OILY too glad to
escape her attentions. He found her
too rough to suit him. ..
What shall I do?" she asked him.

Mrs. Ladybug didn't seem to care
for his suggestion.

inquired. y @
"Ahp he said. Solomon Owl
wouldn't let her browbeat him. He'd
soon cure her of her rude pranks."
Then please speak to her and to
Solomon Owl at once-that is, if
you dare to-" said Mrs. Ladybug.
''I'm not afraid Of him." Freddie
FREELY boasted. "He won't touch
me. He's a-scared of my light"
And then Freddie FREELY fitted
away.
He found Solomon Owl easily |
enough. He had heard 'Solomon's
Wha-who, whoo-ah! booming from
the edge of the woods. And he soon
persuaded Solomon to fly down into
the meadow.
Solomon Owl sailed above the
waving grass, while Freddie Firefy |
spoke to Jennie Junebug.
She liked his scheme. She thought
it would be a great joke to bump
into solemn Solomon Owl. And for
once, she forgot to fling herself
against Freddie FREELY.
Only little while later she struck
Solomon Owl with an awful thud.
To her huge surprise she fell head
long, while he merely paused in his
low flight.

FREELY.
Where is she now?" Solomon

Jennie June bug heard everything
he said. She was lying hidden in the
grass nearby. And she wouldn't
have come out for anything.
"I'll keep my eye out for her"
Solomon Owl announced. Il come
to the meadow often, a-imousing.'
Jennie Junebug kept still as a
mouse, herself, until Solomon had
gone back to the woods. Then she
stole forth from her hiding place,
showing a battered face to her
friends.
"Good-by, everybodype she called.
"I'm going to move. I'm going way
down to the end of the valley to
live I'm off already" she
added, as she spread her wings.
Nobody ever saw Jennie Junebug
on Farmer Green's place again.
And Mrs. Ladybug. was more than
,atisfed.
