of the tree to its heart.
Then pour about 20 cents
worth Of calOmel into the cav

Stop up hole.
Then wait until next spring,
and the tree will bear fruit.

even then. about the only difference
Is the fact that fish adore wuzzy cater

tured, freckled face. For a long min
ute he stood. Then he suddenly
shouted "Hurrahr' and raced back to
the house.
"Winsome Bluebird has arrived" he
shouted. "Winsome Bluebird has ar.
rived and now we know that Mistress
Spring is almost here"
Nonsense" said Mrs. Brown. "It
is too cold this morning for any Blue
birds to arrive. Any Bluebird that
was up this way would promptly turn
about and go back"
But l heard him." cried Farmer
Browns Boy. Don't you suppose
know a Bluebird's notes when l hear
them? No one who has ever heard
Winsome Bluebird can ever mistake
another bird for him. Come to the
door and listen"
So Mrs Brown went to the door and
stepped out on the doorstep. There
she and Farmer Browns Boy stood
and listened. In a moment they heard
those soft, plaintive notes that seemed
to come from nowhere in particular
and everywhere in general, the notes
of Winsome Bluebird.
THERE" cried Farmer Browns Boy.
There! What did l tell you? Win
some Bluebird is herer'
He certainly is. Son. replied Mrs.
him? 1 wish I could see him. But it's
too cold to stand out here. Winsome
Bluebird may think it is Spring. but I
don't" With this, Mrs. Brown went
in the house.
But Farmer Browns Boy didn't go
in. No, sir, he didn't go in. He
wasn't satisfied with just hearing
Winsome Bluebird; he wanted to see
Winsome. So, after listening for a
few moments to those soft, plaintive,
whistled notes, he made up his mind
other side of the house. So around
the house he went. He looked up in
all the trees. He looked over on all
the fence posts, for he knew that Win
some often sits on a fence post. He
looked everywhere that he could think
of that Winsome Bluebird would bs
likely to be. WinSome wasn't to be
seen. Still he heard that soft whistle.
1t was most provoking and, at the
same time, it was most exciting. You
see, that whistle Just couldn't be
placed. 1t seemed to be just all
around. Sometimes 1t seemed to be
far away and sometimes it seemed
to he close at hand.
Farmer Browns Boy went COM
pletely around the house. He went
all through the old Orchard. He even
went down the Long Lane that leads

For some reason that she could not
explain, Martha was unusually ex-
cited as she dressed for the Westcott
dinner. A premonition that some
thing interesting was about to happen
to her made her pulses tingle delight
fully. Then. too, as she sat before
her dressing table arranging her hair,
her reflection was reassuring. AL
though she was Al. there was not
single gray hair in the rudy mass
that crowned her small head. Her
skin. too. was fawless. and her eyes,
gray in the daytime, but almost
green under certain lights, were long
and mysterious.
Yes, she was an attractive woman,
very attractive" ran her thoughts.
Why was it that John was so blind
where she was concerned, so brusque
with her, so completely absorbed in
himself and his business that he was
unwilling to devote much of his time
TO her? She was still young, and
John was only As. There We're still
years of life before them And yet
for the past three or four years there
had been little of a personal nature
between them. Why were they drift.
ing apart? Why had John pushed
her out of his life as he had? Was
it because they had married at such
an early age that all romance between
them was at an end? 1t seemed alb
surd. because in spite of the fact that
the children were grown up. Martha
felt as frivolously youthful as she had
five years ago.
AS matter of fact. she was starv-
ing for love and affection. She still
loved John, but his manner toward
her had driven her in upon herself.
She had become guarded, chary of
showing him her feelings.
1t was the same with the children.
Natalie was so different from the
young girls of Martha's age. She was
so self-confident. SO sure of herself
and so fearful of being sloppily senti-
mental. Arthur. top. had drifted
away from her He and Natalie had
their own friends and their own in
tereSts.
And so it happened that. at Al, Mar
tina was s much alone as though she
had never married. ~
