CHAPTER I

VIZ ALL had come to the big woods.
II The wild ducks had flown to the
South. the leaves were dropping
from the trees, and Perky Squirrel
was storing away, the last of his
winters supply of nuts.
Jack and Janet found the autumn
beautiful. They liked to play among
the fragrant fallen leaves and they
found it fun gathering hickory nuts
for fireside cracking.
But they missed one thing in the
fall woods-that was the joyous song
of the birds. Their warbling friends
had flown away to the South, there to
spend the wintry days amid the un-
shine and flowers while the North
was covered with snow and ice.
One morning Jack and Janet got a
great surprise-they heard a bird
song outside their windows, Jack hop
ped from bed in his house and Janet
hoped from bed in her house, both
being eager to see the singer.
Has spring Gomez" cried Janet to
Jack. Are the birds back from the
South a~lready?"
NO, for winter has not yet start
ed" answered Jack. "That must be
some strange bird. Lets see if we
can find him."

Week End Camps

Tuesday afternoon to Friday morn
ing eight scouts from Makawao, one
from Paia and four from Waikiki
camped in the Kahului beach house.
1t is needless to state that they had
a big time and at the same time adj
vanced in tests. Each scout was his
own cook, dishwasher and bed maker.
The house was kept thoroughly clean
at all times and proper sanitation was
seer to.
On Wednesday they visited lao Val
ley and the Needle and at the same
time passed the tracking tests. Thurs
day night the commissioner treated
the bunch to ice cream and cake and
soda water and a theater party at the
Kahului Theater. A number of the
scouts passed their so yard swim.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1922-01-03

So Jack and Janet dressed quickly
and ran into the woods to seek the
singing bird. They followed the sound
of the song, but the bird kept hidden
from view.
ut sounds like a thrush" said Jack
but even as he spoke the song
changed.
mo, it is like a robin" said Janet.
Againt the song changed.
There must be a whole lot of
Birds" cried Janet. isn't it strange
we cannot see them"
Yes, it was very strange and the
mystery grew deeper the further they
went into the woods. There seemed
to be a dozen birds just beyond their
sight.
AS they ran along they suddenly
found a bright-faced, little, old wom-
an running with them. She wore a
round, high, pointed cap, red bodice
and a Withdrawing green skirt. On her
arm she carried a huge basket.
DO you hear that bird?" demanded
the little, old woman. do you hear
it, too, or do my ears deceive me?"
1--WE hear half a dozen BIRDS" an
swered Jack. 1--WE are looking for
them"
"Ah, ha, if you hear them my ears
do not deceive me-" cried the little,
old woman. There are birds in the
woods who ought to be far away in
the sunny South. Come with me
quickly. l must save them from their
folly"
They went on, but now the birds
seemed to know they were being fol-
lowed, for the singing ceased. The
little, old woman stopped to listen,
and so did Jack and Janet.
THAT is what l get for taking a
nap during the pleasant Indian Sum-
mer days." said the little, old woman.
"While l dozed those foolish birds
got out from under my protection"
She turned abruptly and looked keen
