Lean ing against either side of my door, we gave ourselves up to the mirth which would not longer be denied,
 That girls worth her weight in rubies," Katherine said at least, when we had regained our breath and were wiping away the tears of exhausted laughter from our eyes. "There are few enough laughs left in this sad world, and anyone like

 -Old Mother Nature.
 There was a lot of talk In the Old Orchard. Yes, sir, there was lot Of talk. You see, by this time all the feathered folk in the Old Orchard knew that Little Mrs. Chippy the Chipping Sparrow was bringing up one of the children of Sally Sly the Cowbird and that Mrs. Sunshine the Yellow Warbler was bringing up an other of Sally Sly's children. What they didn't know was that third of those CoWbird babies was in the nest of Little Friend the Song Sparrow down by the Smiling Pool. Had they known that their tongues would have wagged even faster than they did.
 In the nest of Mr, and Mrs. Chippy were four of their own babies be- sides Sally Sly's big baby. The latter was so much bigger than the others that in spite of all Chippy and Mrs. Chippy could do he managed to get more than his fair share of the food. He would snatch it out of their bills as they were trying to give 1t to one of the others. Having more food than the others he grew faster, and the faster he grew the easier 1t was for him 10 grab more than his share of food. So Mir. and Mrs. Chippy were working themselves to skin and feathers trying to supply enough food for their big family The same thing was happening at the home of Mir. and Mrs. Sunshine the Yellow WarblerS
 Tt Is a shame" exclaimed Mrs Goldie the Oriole. Tt is simply out rageous. If I were Little Mrs. Chip py I'd let that greedy Cowbird starve. I wouldn't give it a mouth. ful of food"

 No danger" exclaimed Mrs Goldie, as the greedy little Cnwbitd snatched a worm from the bill e little Mrs. Chippy, q worm she Was trying to give to one of her oyyn babies. "You are too ten l,er-h"aft- ed. You and Chipry are altogether too tender-h hearted" '' Little Mrs. Chappy sighed. "It is all very well for you to talk, Mrs. Goldie she said, "but if you were in my place you would do just what I am doing. If he didn't have such ail appetite it wouldn't he so hard But he Is growing so fast that perhaps he will soon be able to leave the nest and look out for himself. Then Chippy and I can give all our care to our own babies.'
 "You'll he lucky if you have any babies left alive by that time" re torted Mrs Goldie, Never in nlr life have I seen such q greedy, ugly lyoungster. excepting the one over in the home of Mir, and Mrs. Sunshine, They are just as silly as you and MT Chippy. Their own youngsters. look half starved, while that little i'm pcstor of Sally Sly's is so fat that he's actually beginning to crowd the others Never in my life have seen such greedy uoungsters as those lit tie Cowbirds.'

I've watched them; and I've seen that greedy young rascal snatch worms from their bills in spite of all they could do. They never should have matched that egg out. It would have been better to have left their nest and eggs and built a new nest some where else"
 Mrs. Goldie tossed her head, Well" she declared. If I couldn't keep him from getting food I would just throw him out of the nest. That's what I'd dol" She even went to Mrs. Chippy with this suggestion.
 Little Mrs. Chippy shook her rus set-capped head. No, you wouldn't"
