I feel with?" replied Longbill.
"But-but-but how can you feel with
q thing like that?" demanded Cubby.
"And even II you can feel with 1t, how
can you open it to take hold Of the
worm?"
Now, suspect that If Longbill could
have grinned, he would have grinned
right then and there. Yes, sir. sus-
pect that Is just what he would have
done. Instead, he walked just two or
three steps nearer Cubby Bear. And
then he did funny thing. He opened
his bill without opening his mouth.
What I mean is this: He opened the

BILE and the upper mandible. You know
you have two lipS-the lower lip and
the upper lip. 1t is the same way with
a birds bill. The upper mandible takes
the place of your upper lip, and the
lower mandible takes the place of your
lower lip.
Now, as Cubby looked at that long
bill, he discovered that the upper man
dible was lifted for about a third
of its length. 1t was movable. It was
easy to see how Longbill could take
hold of a worm down in the ground

1T certainly is" replied Longbill
proudly. "I can feel worm with 1t
and then I can grab it. and all the
time my bill is down in the ground.
So you see I don't need my eyes to
find the worm Just let me hear a
worm in the ground and If he isn't too
far down, I'll get him. There's one
right below me now
Longbill thrust his handy bill down
into the ground and pulled out another
worm, and left a nice, little, round hole,
just like the holes Cubby had first seen,
which used to puzzle him so.

winked back at him. She liked

But a second later, when Mrs.

His big tanned hand, gripping
hers so that she cried out with
the sudden pain OF it, answered
that question for her.
well, then. why don't we get
married--now--today?'
Pats fingers found the engage
ment ring on her hand and
turned it. That's why, for one
reason. Because you're engaged

reason is that I couldn't afford
