the Green Meadows and of the Old Or chard and of the Smiling Pool look on life as sort of game of wits. They get terribly angry when one of their number makes trouble for another, but each one knows in his own heart that he ought to be smart enough to keep any one else from making trouble for him, and l suspect that each one feels that he is smart enough. The smaller ones all know that some of the larger ones hunt them in order to live and 50 they do not feel towards these hunters at all as they do toward man and those hunters who hunt when they do not need to.
 Chatterer tue Red Sqirrel is one who at all times is given to getting into mis- chief, and every once in a while he slips from harmless mischief into actual wrong-doing. Of course there isn't the least excuse in the world for CChat- terer when he steals the eggs of his feathered neighbors, He doesn't need them for food. It is the same way with Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow. So in hunting for the home of Winsome Bluebird to steal those eggs he felt sure were in it Chatterer was doing something quite unforgivable in the eyes of his neighbors.
 But. that didn't trouble Chatterer in the least. He wanted those eggs. He

CHATTERER the Red Sqirrel ought
 to have known better. To come
 right down to the truth, he did know better. No red squirrel could live as long as Chatterer had lived and not know better. He forgot. That was it. Chatterer forgot. You know how easy it is to forget. Half the troubles in this world come from people forget ting wha tthey know. guess would be nearer the truth if I said that most of the troubles of this world come from forgetting. A great deal more often 1t is what people know, but forget, not what they didn't know, that gets them in scrapes.
 Now Chatterer knew perfectly that it is crazy thing and nothing less for a squirrel to poke his head into a hole without first making sure that no one is in there, at least no one whom he does not care to meet. Ordinarily he wouldn't have done such thing. But he was so eager for taste of fresh eggs and so sure that he would have those fresh eggs if he could but find the nest of Winsome Bluebird that he was in too much of a hurry to be care ful. Then, too, he was a little excited. He had been so sure that Winsome would make his home in the same hol- low in one of the apple trees in the Old Orchard which he had used for several years that he was quite upset when he found out that Winsome had given up the old home. Of course that meant that he was building or already had built a nest somewhere else.
 l..If I'm to have those eggs I've got 10 find them pretty soon," muttered Chatterer. That's a mean trick for Winsome to fool his old neighbors that way. He might have said something about changing his home. Queer how stingy some people can be. What if I should steal two or three eggs from Mrs. Winsome! She could lay some mcre.''
 It was funny te him. You would have thought that Winsome Bluebird and Mrs. Winsome actually had wrong de him and not that he had planned and was still planning to wrong them. It sometimes is that way with people who wrong others. When their plans fail they actually try to make them selves believe that wrong has been done them. Now as you know the lit tie people of the Green Forest and of

was provoked to think that Winsome Bluebird had been smart enough to hide his new home and he meant to find it. So he raced from tree to tree in the Old Orchard, poking his head in at every hole big enough for him to do this, and in his eagerness, quite for getting that there might, there just might be, danger lurking in one of them. So at last he came to a tree in which he knew was a fine hollow, an old home of. Drummer the Wood becker.
 Tt would just suit Winsome Blue bird," thought Chatterer. q most be- Iieve that this is just where he has made his new home"
 Up the tree he scrambled and with out pause thrust his head in at the doorway. But he pulled 1t out quicker than he had put it on. He pulled 1t out with screech of fright. There was some on in there of whom Chat. terer was very much afraid.

Then we can be certain that he will make another wooden hobby horse and chase us!' Raggedy Ann said.
 "Listen!' Rags puppy dog said, "! thought I heard the 'clumpity clump' of hobby horses wooden feet coming through the woods !"
 None of the others could hear as well as Rags, for puppy dogs, even if they are rag puppy dogs, have very keen ears.
 But by the time the hobby horse had three more glasses of soda water the "clompity clump" of the new hobby horses wooden feet could be heard by Raggedy Ann. Raggedy Andy, Berty Bear and the hobby horse.
 What shall we dO! Berty Bear asked.
 Maybe you had all better get upon my back again and I will run and run and run. l can just keep on running an night and even if this new hobby horse can run as fast as I he will not catch us, because we will always be ahead of him v

 "How shall we do it, Raggedy An dy ?" little Rags puppy dow asked.
 Let Raggedy Ann and all the rest of you hide in these bushes and will get upon our nice hobby horses back with a long stick. Then when the con jurer comes galloping up on the new hobby horse 1 will ride out and knock him off with the long stick, like the knights in the story books do."
 So Raggedy Andy hunted until he found strong stick and then while his friends found hiding places in the bushes, Raggedy Andy told the hobby horse just how he should act.
 Presently down the patch came a queer looking wooden creature and upon it's back waving a stick as long as the one Raggedy Andy had was old Ban gan, the eonjurer. Banzan gave a cry

 Then Raggedy Ann and Berty Bear and little Rags puppy dog climbed upon the hobby horse behind Raggedy Andy and laughing and shouting they rode away through the woods.

The best way to have early melons, cucumbers and squashes is to plant them in hills and to set over the hills square boxes with lights of glass in the tops. The glass will collect enough warmth from the sun to cause speedy germination of the seeds, and will pro- tect the tender plants from belated frosts. It is a good plan to leave the
