-Rsdshouider the Hawf.
Red shoulder had spent the Winter
In the Sunny South. He and Mrs.
Redshoulder had been very comfortable
down there. They had made part OF
the journey In company with Q number
Of their own people and 1t had been
made in easy stages, uneventful save
that now and then there would be the
bang Of q dreadful gun and their COM
pany would be one less In number.
Usually It was one Of the younger men,
berS who lost his life, one who had not
yet had opportunity TO learn that for
no reason at all the hand Of man is
against all Hawks, and the big Hawks
especially. It would have surprised
Rershoulder to know that to those men
with the dreadful guns he was simply
q Hen Hawk, to be killed because he
caught the hens and chickens that be-
longed to these men, whereas the truth
was that he hadn't tasted q hen or 9
chicken more than once or twice In
his life, and had paid for these 9
hundred times over by destroying the
mice that stole the grass and grain
and girdled and killed the young fruit
trees Of these same men.
But 50 it was, and RedShoulder had
ever to be on watch for these ignorant
killers with their terrible guns. He and
Mrs. Redshoulder had grown wise with
experience. They had learned not only
TO avoid those terrible guns, but also To
avoid sitting on tall poles. for they had
seen many of their relatives caught in
cruel steel traps placed on the tops OF
the poles for this purpose.
Now sweet Mistress Spring had begun
to move northward and Redshoulder
and Mrs. Redshoulder were possessed Of
great longing to return home, to re-
turn to the nest in the Green Forest
from which they had started so many
children out into the Great World with
its terrible guns and ignorant killers,
Others of their kind were beginning the
long trip north and the RedShoulders
Joined them. Each day the longing to
get home grew stronger. Two by two
their comrades left the big flock, each
pair headed for their own home, until
at last Redshoulder and his mate were
alone. They did little hunting now
Time enough for hunting when they
reached home.
So at last they saw in the far dis
lance the Green Forest beyond the
Green Meadows They screamed fol
Joy. Sailing high. they swung in great
circles so as TO look down and drink
In all the familiar home scenes. They
did not hurry to inspect the old nest
The nest was merely q part Of home
It was the home scenes for which they
had so longed, the Green Forest, the
Green Meadows, the Smiling Pool, the
Laughing Brook, the Old Pasture, the
Big River, the Old Orchard, yes, and
Farmer Browns home.
For a long time they circled high
above all this and they were filled with
the great Joy of homecoming. Then
they set their wings to sail down to
that part Of the Green Forest where
their nest was. It was Mrs. Redshoulder
who first saw that all was not as II
should be.

er's priced asset.
A homemaker should be one OF the
first to discriminate between haste that
wastes and haste that helps. The reg
lllar routine household tasks become SO
familiar that the rhythm of them should
be rapid and no dizziness be lost. Avoid
getting the plodder's pace in perform
ing them. It Is 50 easy to set a slow
tempo In these things, which can then
take up practically the entire day. Speed
up the action, and have time for the
unusual and consequently the more in
teresting features of the day.
There Is always something more than
routine work in a day that home
maker would like to have time for.
Learn to make haste without waste
Set new adage before you--Haste that
helps.
