"A rose by any other name would

Finally, they all uuieted down and
talked. Ted told them stories of his
travels, colorful stories all tinged
with the romance of adventure. None
Of the family had ever travelled and
it was like opening a book of Arabian
Nights to them. Susan especially
listened wide-eyed urging Ted TO
keep on when he stopped and said
the rest would keep for another time.

HE never had chance TO go any

Browning said. And when he didn't
work he had no money. Some people
always have everything and we had
so little-then, when he was here"
Hes happy now, mother, and per-
haps he is travelling about up there"
Susan responded with one of her
quaint ideas. THE Bible talks about
cities with streets of gold and jasper
who knows but he is having all the
things he didn't have here. Dad was
so good. Ted, even If he couldn't
make money--much money"
After a little more talk they sepa-
rated for the night. Ted a bit ex-
cited at the idea of talking war ex
periences over with Sam, although
he had refused to discuss them with
the others.
1T will be great talking to Sam

Little Stories For Bedtime
REDTAIL THE HAWK IS JUST
TOO LATE
BY THORNTON w. HURGEs

Redtail the Hawk was lazily sail
ing round and round high in the air,
very much after the manner of or
Mistah Buzzard. He was doing 1t
for two reasons-because he just
loves to sail round and round that
way and look down on all that is
going on the Green Meadows and in
the Green Forest and because he
was getting hungry and he was try
ing to make up his mind what he
wanted most for his dinner. He
wasn't very particular. not really.
There were several things he could
think OF that would taste good There
was Chatterer the Red Squirrel. He
had his eye on Chatterer for some
time, but somehow Chatterer always
wouldn't make a very big dinner,
but he would be tender and very de-
licious. 1t was very annoying that
Danny managed to keep himself out
of sight so much these days. Then
there was Mr.. Greensnake and
Grandfather Frog. But Mr.. Green
snake was hard to see unless he hap
pened to be moving. and Grand
father Frog was so old and wise that
Redtail had about given up trying TO
catch him. He had just about de-
cided to go over to the Smiling Pool
and try for one Of Grandfather
Frogs foolish children. when he
heard the voice OF Blacky the crow
down below him in the Green Forest.
Redtail's sharp eyes twinkled. |
wonder what Blacky sees now.
thought he. IF it can get him so
excited as all that. l guess | will
have a look myself"
With that he sailed swiftly over
the Green. Forest until he was right
over Blacley the Crow. who was in
the top of q big pine tree. Blacky
was so busy watching what was go
ing on below him that he didn't see
Redtail at all. Now, Redtail's eyes
are very, very sharp. and looking
down from high up in the blue, blue
sky. he could see all that Blacky saw
and more. too He saw Peter Rabbit
lodging this way and that way for
his life, with Reddy Fox right at his
heels He saw Old Man Coyote and
Granny Fox hurrying up and he felt
sure that when they got there Peter
wouldn't have the least chance in the
world. He surely would be caught
by one of them and that would be
the end of him. Right away Red
tail made up his mind that neither
Reddy Fox nor Granny Fox nor Old
Man Coyote should have Peter Rab
bit if he could help 1t. Not that he
meant to help Peter. oh, my no!
The fact IS, he meant to have Peter
for his own dinner He had his eye
on Peter for a long time, and he had
