en- tree where their nest had been.
Plunger was excited
Look, my dear" he cried to Mrs.
Plunger Just look at that. That
thing has been put up especially for
us. You RENE mber that when we were
on our way up from the South we saw
several of these with nests of other
Ospreys."
Mrs. Plunger said nothing. She
circled lower and lower. Finally she
alighted on the cart wheel on the top
of the tall pole. She looked 1t all over
with the greatest interest. She tested
1t to see If it was solid. 1t was. She
knew that the wind couldn't blow 1t
down. She knew that there was no
danger that it would break. That cart
wheel made splendid platform on
which to build a nest. 1t was better
than the tree that had blown down.
Plunger few down and perched be-
side her.
Wei, my dear. what do you think
of it?" he asked.
Happiness sparkied in the eyes of
Mrs. Plunger. Il think" said she. I'VE
are going to build a new home right
here. 1 think this was put up espe-
cially for u.s.
Il know it was" declared Plunger.
Farmer Browns boy knew just what
we needed, and he put up this thing
just for us. 1t is useless for anybody
else. Well have a better home here
than ever. When shall we begin work
on it"
THE first thing tomorrow morning"
replied Mrs. Plunger. 1T is too late
now for already the Black Shadows
have begun to creep out from the Pur-
pie, Hills. But tomorrow morning
Wen start in as soon as it is light.
Now aren't you glad l didn't agree to
go over near the Big River to build
our new home?'
Yes replied Plunger meekIy.

Feeling Blue. !"

To feel blue" is to be depressed
and unhappy, sick at heart. And it
is in the words sick at heart" that
we find the thread which leads us to
the origin and justification for the
popular use in this manner of the
word blue
When people are physically sick
they are usually pale, and in an ex-
tremity of weakness and debility the
skin and the lips, particularly the
latter. take on a BLUSH tinge. Ere
quently we hear the term used in
case of great cold, as She is frozen

of physical sickness that the phrase
feeling blue" is traced which de-
scribes mental or heart" sickness
