That dear woman who had mothered
her-she must not remember this
home coming sadly.
She's happy. l was mistaken;
nothing could have happened to
worry her-nothing about that--she
was only homesick as she said" So
the anxious mother, watching her
said to herself
The chickens came to Olives call
as Of old. The cluck- -cluck, and chat
ter-chatter as they scrambled for
their breakfast as it was thrown to
them in great wooden spoonfuls
from the yellow bowls was deafening.
All early creatures Of the quiet coun-
try were awake: voice called to voice
called to voice without ceasing; the
birds sang Justify as they left their
nests, or twitered on the branches of
the trees, crying it was day, and sun
shine, and welcome. The COW mooed
in the distance, happily chewing her
cud as she nosed the dewy grass. In
the light breeze the trees whispered
the grasses lifted their tiny voices,
and all about them the earth crooned
a morning greeting.
Il could be happy again here
and-forget," Olive said to herself,
knowing in her heart that she lied
that she never could forget. And be-
fore she could reply to some remark
of her loving mother. she had to
grasp assurance and push it into her
voice.

narrow string belt made of the satin
tied carelessly at one side of the

Little Stories For Bedtime
HLACkY THE CROW MAKES A
DISCOVERY
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS
"Unless you know a thing as safe
Va,, ha}far LOT 10

UNLESS you know thing as safe
You better let it be.
No wise crow ever takes a chance:
A wise plan you'll agree"
This is one of the sayings of
Blacky the Crow, than whom there is
no one smarter or craftier on the
Green Meadows or in the Green For
est And Blacky always lives up to
it. He may be just as curious about
thing as Peter Rabbit. but he
never makes the mistake that Peter
so often does and allow his
curiosity to lead him into trouble.
He just remains patient and keeps
his eyes open until he is absolutely
sure that a thing is harmless.
Now. when Farmer Browns Boy
put that scarecrow in the cornfield
Blacky happened to be over in the
Green Forest. The first time he went
down on the Green Meadows, of
course, he saw the scarecrow right
away, and he took great pains to
keep away from the cornfield. The
corn was very tempting. but that
thing looked like man. Blacky
didn't believe it was one. No. sir, he
didn't believe it was one. He chuckeld
as he looked at il, for he knows all
about scarecroWs and he was quite
sure that this was one. But there
was just a chance that it might not
be, and Blacky was far too wise
to take that chance 1t had some
thing that looked like a gun and
he had no mind to risk his precious
skin in finding out if it really was.
I'll just watch it a few days. and
I guess that before the corn is too
high to be sweet and tender l can
tell for sure what it is said he to
himself. So a dozen times day
Blacky would sit on post on the
edge of Farmer Browns cornfield
and watch and watch that scarecrow,
and each time he was a little more
sure that is was quite harmless. He
was sitting on the post one afternoon
studying and studying the scarecrow,
when he thought he saw something
moving on it. Right away Blacky
