"Now," thought the Ugly Orphan,
 'J will get at the food"

very much larger than any of the others, and his selfish greediness made him grow very much faster than the others, So that it wasn't long before he was nearly twice as big as any of his foster brothers and sisters.
 Things were bad enough as they were, but th5 ugly orphan wasn't satisfied. He wanted to get rid of the Sparrow babies. The first chance he got he pushed one of them out of the nest. It wasn't big enough to fly and it fell in the grass below. Then he pushed another out and 1t too fell in the grass. Chippy coming back with a worm, found the two babies down in the grass. They were unhurt, but of course they were quite helpless down there. Me promptly fed them. This left two haby sparrows and ugly orphan in the nest for Mrs, Chippy to feed. But the ugly orphan wasn't satisfied. While no one was looking he kicked another little Chippy out, and final ly the fourth one. Then he had the nest 10 himself,
 Now" thought the ugly orphan, q will get all the food. l will have to share it with no one"
 But the ugly orphan didn't get all the food. Tn fact, he didn't get as much as he did before, which l think you will agree served him right. You see, now Chippy and Mrs.

THE UGLY ORPHAN. Usliness Is all within, Thus it really is a sin.
 Old Mother Nature,

You know that really is so. ugli- ness has nothing to do with looks
 unless looks show the spirit within. One may be ever so homelY and not be ugly at all. and one may really be handsome in looks and actually be ugly. Selfshness is one of the most common forms of ugliness, Selfish people have ugly dispositions,
 This is the way it was with the orphan Cowbird that Chippy and Mrs. Chippy the Chipping SparroWs were bringing up with their own children. In one way this young Cowbird wasn't a true orphan, for his father and mother were both alive, but in another way he was an orphan, for they had nothing what ever to do with him, and he didn't even know who they were, Sally Sly the CoWbird had left an egg in the nest of MT. and Mrs. Chippy and then had gone off to have good time. That egg had matched and from it had come this ugly orphan, for he was ugly. He was so greedy that he would not have allowed the other babies in the nest to have a single worm if he could have helped it AS it was. he didn't lot them have nearly enough. He was naturally

Burgess Bedtime Stories
 By Thornton w. Burgess

Chippy could feed their babies with out having the food snatched away, and though Mrs. Chippy, out of the goodness of her heart brought the ugly orphan his share, he now had no chance to snatch that which was meant for others. The only thing he could do was to make a dreadful fuss and continually cry for food. In this he did get little more than his rlghtful share, but not nearly as much as he wanted.
 It was just good fortune that had kept the four babies from being hurt when they were thrown out of their nest. The grass had protected them. And 1t was just good fortune that Black Pussy the Cat didn't come along that way. but that instead Farmer Browns Boy himself hap pened along. He saw Mrs. Chippy fly down into the grass with a worm, and he heard the hungry cries of the babies when they saw that worm, so he went to see what it meant. Of course he found the four babies un- able to fly.
 They must have fallen out of the nest, !" said Farmer Browns Boy, 1 looking up. Tt is such a little nest that they must have been too crowd ed in it, It would be of no use to put them back there. for they would only fall out again."
 
 So Farmer Browns Boy went up to the house and got d berry basket. Tn 1t he made a nest of soft hay. Then he went back to the Old Orch ard and put ;he four baby sparrows In the nest he had made. After that he fastened it up in a tree, where Chippy and Mrs, Chippy at once be- gan to feed the babies.

 l stepped in front of him with q muttcred apology to my mother-in- law, and tipping his chin up in my palms looked down into his pushed little face.
 "Il you're a big boy now" I said slowly you know better than to epgak that way to Graunc,"
 "Magglrct" my motAcr-ln-law ex- claimed imperiously and l expected her usual protest agmnst my desci- pline of her small grandson. To my surI,. .se, she stopped abruptly glV- ing the effect of having clipped my name off with pair Of sharp scls- syrs, and nodded her head in Hiaoross assent 10 my program. l reelected amus,ily that her fearful appreciation Of my efforts with "s.eye" had lasted long enough for some benefit to me, anyway. Then l turned my attention back to Junior, who was beginning to wriggle beneath the grip of my hand
 "Don't you think" l said p9rsua- sively, that you ought to tell Gran 2ie you're sorry? It's because she loves you that she says Bless your baby heart,
 "WUuldnt She Love Mc?"
 No sooner had the explanation lief. my lips than l realized I had made grave strategical error. Junior never fails to seize an op- portuuity for asking questions and he snatched this one.
 "Woudn't she love me a bit if she didn't call me 'baby"" he de- mauded. Not one single teenty wnrnty bit?"
 "Oh, my darling!" his grand mother began tremulously, but she was still tracfable enough to heed my signaling plea for silence. So l had no interruption to the grave and firm reply I hade to my small son.
 Yes, Gr9n2ia would love you, nc mat ter what name sho gave you," caid "Rut when you are rude tc Granzic because she calls you some. thinc you do not like, she and ] both think that perhaps you do not love hcr.'
 II is the appeal which never fails with Junior and he began rubbing his fists into his eyes.
 "But I do love Grulic,' he shout ed, and at the words loosened the grasp Of my palm beneath his chit and he darted into his grandmother opened arms, 'I'm so sorry, Gran 2ic," he repeated duufully, and hDroically, T won't care if you dc talk about my 'haby hcart "

of songs by the lower grades.
After the close of the program,
