Stung once never wants to be stung the

Suddenly Peter sat bolt upright and
his big eyes opened very wide indeed.
MY gracious! What a sting! What a
sting!" he exclaimed. You see. from
the tip end of the body of this new
neighbor of his extended a very long,
threadlike part, which Peter was sure
and then discovered that there were
three of these instead of one. They
were longer than the body Of the owner.
MY gracious!" exclaimed Peter again.
MY gracious! don't want to be stung
with that"
The stranger turned so Peter saw
that the end of the body was quite
different from the end of a wasp's
body. Instead of coming down to a
smooth point. it was queerly thickened
at the tip. He began to realize that this
was a different wasp from any he had
ever met.

Peter was sitting at the foot of big

 Tt means that we can't live in the barn." squeaked Danny. Tt means that we have got to find new home"
 Why" demanded Nanny impa- tiently.

 "Who?" Nanny demanded.
 "Spooky the Screech Owl" said Danny.
 Now who told you any such story as that?" demanded Nanny. You know very well that Spooky lives in the Old Orchard"

Just thinking of it gives me the cold shivers. If he hadn't had that young Rat he would have caught me. He couldn't take both ot us. I didn't waste any time getting away from there"
 But how do you know that Spooky is living in the barn?" Man. ny asked.

 There was such deliciously boyish naivete in Noel Veritzen's question concerning marriage without love that would have been hugely amused had my ear not caught the accents of real desperation in his voice, The boys emotional need of some understanding soul was patent and my reply was prompt.
 My belief always has been that only a great love should be solemn- ized by marriage" said quietly. but with emphasis. "But-am l wrong in thinking you have some personal and urgent reason for asking the question? Can you tell me about it?"
 His naturally pale face suddenly was crimson, and I saw that he was facing something innately distaste- ful to him. reminded myself grimly about the old saying concerning the relative merits of executing a sheep and 8 lamb. and resolved to spare him as much of the ordeal as pos- sible.
 Would it make it easier for you?" l asked softly. If I told you that already know what Miss Jack son asked of you yesterday"
 His fingers suddenly frightened upon his after-dinner coffee cup. of unusual fragility for a restaurant. and the next instant the handle had snapped and the cup dropped to the floor.

 Thank you." the boy said grate- fully when the man had left us again. Then do you also know who she really is?"

 His voice trailed away confused ly, but knew that he was visioning Marys' unusual friendliness to him at our impromptu dance on the night of the Brixton visit. And yet with that prospect of happiness opening before him, his chivalry could consider marrying another girl

 Don't you know that you can say anything you like to me-" he said fervcntly. and I smiled a bit grimly.
 "I shall take full advantage of that permission" I told him. First. we'll clear a few cobwebs away. You have no right to marry the Princess Olina. It would be unwise if you loved her. As you don't it would be unthinkable, even if she loved you, which She doesn't"
 I was watching him narrowly. Most modern young men would have betrayed touch of chagrined yan- ity at this information, even though it meant release from an unwelcome troth. But there was nothing save ecstatc relief in Noel Veritzen's eyes.
 "Oh. Mrs. Graham,' he brcathcd. ''How-'
 How do I know?" I finished, smiling as he stopped abruptly. You might employ those overworked words feminine intuition.' for want of anything better. She not only doesn't love you-although no doubt she is firmly convinced just now that she cannot live without you-but she really is in love with the young man whom you know as George Jackson.
 His face shadowed at that name, and the relief it had mirrored was tinged with bewilderment.

 I told him, and he repeated the others name and title slowly.

TWO ISOIS AND A PAIL By Alice .DudsUn Ieale

A nursery school teacher whose charges are about three years old tells the following story:
 Teddy sat playing with pail and spoon in the sand box. Louis came up to him. Give me that pail ! want it." Without waiting for Ted dy to reply he snatched the pail and ran off with it. Teddy came crying to his teacher. Louis took my pail" he walled. "I'm sorry said she. "Why did you let him do it? Next time hold vn to it and don't let him get it."
 4 day or two later Louis again came up to Teddy in the sand box.
 Give me that pail" hc ordered.
 You cant have it." said Teddy.
 q can. too. I'll just take it away from you.'
 Teddy shut his mouth firmly and said not word. He planted his feet wide apart and his hold on the pail tishtened. There was a silent tusslc Teddy kept the pail.
 "ShL lO tIc l'dCIltI
 Teddy won't give me his pail and I need it." he said.
 Did you ask him for if ?'
 "Yes. but he won't give it 10 me and 1 need it.
 Well" said tho teacher. "you see he had it first so he can keep it until he is through playing with il. Perhaps you can find something else to play with"
 It may seem that it was quite wrong to let the children struggle thhs before giving them a rule to go by. Yet two youngsters who are evenly matched learn much more about protecting their own rights and respecting those of others if they have fought the battle out first for themselves. All their lives the. will have to meet just such situa- tons.
 It is well for the agressors tc learn that they can't always gel what they want when they want it and it is well for the others tt tearn to fight their own battles.
