that Rattles makes his home in hole in the ground !" cried Peter.
 "Of course it is true." replied Grand father Frog gruffly. There isn't any reason in the world why it shouldn't be true. Rattles is bird of sense"
 Where is it?" asked Peter eagerly,
 That is none of my business, nor is it any business of yours," declared Grandfather Frog. T never have asked Rattles where it is, and if I knew I wouldn't tell you. l never pry into other peoples sucrets, and If you will take my advice you won't either, Peter Rabbit. It is a bad habit. No good comes of it. Now run away and at tend to your own affairs; want to take nap"
 Petter knew he had learned all he could from Grandfather Frog, so he thanked him and started off. But as he hopped along, hpperty-lipperty lip, he was more curious than ever about the home of Rattles the Kingfisher, and he quite forgot his own business. He made up his mind that he would find the home of Rattles.

 T was trying to do something for you, dad" Mona said, blushing at the praise. You don't know how good Uncle Clifford has been, dad. I have felt as if I had two fathers"
 Morts lip trembled as he looked gratefully at Clifford. No man was ever blessed with such brother" he said quietly.
 ''Shucks~ Clifford returned, ''the blessing has all been mine. Why, old man, whatever should I have done without Stella and the children. They have made a real home for me--the first have ever had" he added in q low voice.
 Stella would. But just the same, Clifford, I never can tell you what your goodness to us all has meant to me, that and the love that has been mine when l deserved nothing but hatred from all of you"
 Come on, dad lets go to see the rabbits" Donald interrupted.
 As they left the room, Mort's arm over Donald's shoulder, my eyes over flowed.
 He has suffered dreadfully, Cliff ford" I said

But please God we will make him fer get-as far as it is possible-all the misery of the last year. It wasn't the prison-he told me he could not have endured his remorse had he been among people-it is Lucille, the feeling that he killed her that has broken him so"
 II know, and we must make him more reconciled, but not yet can talk of her to him. We'll let him get used to us, realize our love, then I can try to make him feel that Lucille is happy, that she died with the words of love for him on her lips"
 ''He told me that the memory ef that was all that kept him from going mad" Clifford sighed.
 You told him about Marry"
 "Yes, and he was all sympathy, little realizing that because of you I have been happy, you and the children"

 "Oh, dad!' Mona said, her face showing nothing but love. 'I couldn't get married without you, couldn't!"
 Mort looked from her to me, wonder in his face. l, too, wondered. I felt sure she had not intended to tell him in this way, but that her emotion had been too much for her and she had said the thing uppermost in her mind. Had she planned it, however, nothing could have been better for Mort. His face beamed as he said:
 Really, daughter, did you think of mel"

LittLe Stories For Bedtime
The Home Of Rattles The KingrIsher
(By THORNTON BURGEss)

WHEN Peter & Rabbit 9b first heard
 house was q hole in the ground he didn't believe it. No, sir, Peter didn't believe it. He knew that some of his feathered friends built their homes on the ground, Mrs. Grouse, for instance, and Bob White and Carol the Meadow Lark, but he just couldn't i'm agine real bird living in the ground. Johnny Chuck told him about it. John ny had heard the feathered folks of the Old Orchard talking about it.
 "I'n believe it when I see it." de- clared Peter.
 You know a great many people are like Peter in that they must see a thing in order to believe it. So Peter refused to believe that Rattles the Kingfisher actually makes his home in the ground. but his curiosity was aroused, and once Peters curiosity was aroused he has no peace and he gives his friends no peace until it has been satisfied So the first chance Peter got he hurried over to the Smiling Pool. He knew that Rattles spends most of his time there or along the Laughing Brook. or over by the Big River, and he knew
 
 must know something about him. Grandfather Frog was sitting on his big green lily pad watching for foolish green flies. Peter has a great deal of respect for Grandfather Frog, who is accounted very old and very wise. He waited until Grandfather Frog had caught several foolish green flies, for he had learned by experience that Grandfather Frog was q great teal more likely to answer questions when his stomach was full. When he thought that it was wise to do so he ventured a question.
 If you please, Grandfather Frog, where does Rattles the Kingfisher make his home? asked Peter in his most polite manner.
 "Clug-a-rum How should know?" replied Grandfather Frog gruffly.
 Because you are so wise that you know everything" said Peter.
 No such thing. No such thing Nobody knows everthing,'' retorted Grandfather Frog; still speaking fruff- ly, but it was plain to be seen that he was wee bit flattered.
 Well, you know so much that it amounts to the same thing" declared Peter. Il have heard such a queer thing about Rattles the Kipgfisher that l cant believe it. guess it is just gossip among the other birds who don't seem to like Rattles very we'll"
 What is it you have heard?" de- handed Grandfather Frog.
 That Rattles makes his home in hole in the ground" replied Peter.
 Well, I don't see anything hard to believe about that" grunted Grandfa- ther Frog. Why shouldn't he live in hole in the ground?"
 Why, because he is a bird," replied Peter.
 "Chatterer the Red Squirrel lives in hole in q tree doesn't he? And Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel builds a nest in the top of a tree, doesn't he?" asked Grandfather Frog.
 Wees" replied Peter slowly, trying to see Grandfather Frog was driv- ing at.
 Well, they are not birds; they are animals. If they make their homes in the trees why should not birds make their homes in the ground?" continued Grandfather Frog.
 This was too much for Peter. Why shouldn't theyY, There was no reason why they shouldn't. "Then it is true

ssroteSSor Says Time Is Coming When
 world VIII Fail To Be Amused,
 Prof. Charles Gray Shaw of the phi losophy department at New York univer- Hlty said the other day before a summer school audience that there was little genuine laughter left and that the time was coming when there would not be a hugh left in the entire world. 7e Professor Shaw said primitive men eid not know enough to laugh, since wit lpvolVes certain amount of :ntelli- Gence, and that the men of the future would know too much to laugh at any thing. He even told his audience that n the sober period of science and so- eial thought there might be museums that would preserve cur jokes and comics the way we keep the memorials Qf the stone age. And that case, he said, would be labeled "The Age of Laughter"
 The professor pointed out that man. kind used to laugh at incongruity and inequality; that men used to laugh at Columbus and Calico and now try to Joke about Einstein and Freud. Now, hc said, the comic figures of the pass are taking leave; we no longer laugh af the old maid, bObbed hair or matri- mony, and the eighteenth amendment has killed the joke about the drunken man.
 "In place of such comieal figures we keep up dying laughter by an appeal to bananas and flivyers," he says. Any thing for the sake of a laugh Even men and women are no longer funny, and we have to substitute a makeshift by laughing at animals"
 Dr, Shaw finds there is only one thing to look forward to, and that will be the hearty guffaw of the person who laughs last and therefore laughs best.-New York Herald-Tribune.
