were playing near the middle Of the
pond while their mother and father
were fishing down the Laughing Brook.
The quick eyes of one of them caught
sight of something moving in the
brush on one bank of the pond and
instantly they stopped swimming and
simply fioated as they stared across.
trying to make out who or what it was
over there Suddenly there was flash
and almost with it something struck
the water so close to the head Of one
of them that it was a wonder that he
was not hit.
1t was that instant that both knew
the meaning of fear. They dived in
stantly and swan deep under water
for the lower end Of the pond There
in the shadow of the dam they came
up for breath and to look for the mean
ing of that strange and terrifying thing
that had happened.
'Lookl" whispered one "See that
strange looking creature standing on
two legs. l believe he sees us. He is
pointing a stick at us"
What of it?" replied the other. He
isn't in the water and we are. Be-
sides. he is so far away"
Just then there was another flash,
followed instantly by a bang. Some
thing whistled and whined past them
and struck with an ugly thumD in the
dam back of them. and broken stick
flew into the air and dropped in the
water. There had been something ugly,
threatening in the whine of that thing
that had passed so close. 1t had struck
terror to their hearts. They had in
stantly dived, and this time when they
came up for air it W2S under some
sheltering brush, where they could not

spend their time over the ocean waters.
They soar after the manner of gulls,
but they belong to a very different
family.
AlbatroSs do not rise suddenly from
the water. For a distance of 20 yards
or more they run along the surface of
the water. kicking back with their
webbed feet and holding their wings
outspread. This action has been COM
pared to the rolling of an airplane
along the ground before it rises into
the air.
Some sailors fear that if they should
kill an albatrosS. i'll luck would came
to them. This idea is silly. of course,
but it has helped these big birds to
carry on their lives without so much
danger from men as might have been
present otherwise.
AS I said the other day. it is now
Summer in lands south of the Equator.
Vast numbers of albatross have ceased
flying over the ocean waters and are
now on sunny islands of the South
Pacific. Each female lays one egg and
sits on it until the young is Matched.
The old albatrosS take good care Of
their children until the young ones are
about two months old
1t is true that no other living bird
has such wingSpread as the albatroSS,
but long, long ago, before there were
any people on earth, there lived flying
lizards with even greater size. In the
British Museum in London. saw the
imprint of flying lizard which meas
ured % feet from wing-tip to wing-tip.
The imprint was left on mud which
later hardened into rock.

SILK IN DrlgnJ cOlOrS, empty SpOOlS, tul
pans, bottles or buttons
The mother who bewailS her inability
to supply her child with toys should
look about the house for the available
"makings" of toys. She has only to
look at the odds and ends of her sewing
machine drawers, the pantry, the base
ment or garage, the clay or sand or even
mud around her to find materials for
the most satisfying of toys.
This liking may be explained partly
on the score of the cllild's inexperience
His joy comes in handling all kinds of
things, in lifting and transporting them
about. The simpler the play material,
the more can be done with it, accord
ing TO the personal dictates of its owner.
finished toy may have but one use,
which may be too complicated for its
small user. But the bit Of material can
be use in dozen ways, all within the
imaginative abilities of the child. A
square of colored fabric Is as satisfying
to wrap around a doll and pretend it
is a dress, coat. nightgown or COM
forter as the finished dress, which is
only a dress, and besides has intricate
sleeves into which the dolls arm must
be poked laboriously.
The materials for patting and mold
ing may be any wet clay or sand or

mother, it makes just as successful a
pie or bridge or castle as the most re-
fined sand or modelling clay.
Blocks may be more beautiful when
strewn about the room than an equal
number of wooden boxes, but their play
possibilities are equal. Scissors and
paper for cutting, pencils for marking,
old magazines for coloring large blunt
needles. heavy. colored floss, or scraps
of material need not exhaust the re-
sources of any household. They make
enhancing material for the amusement
of the small child.
outdoor toys composed of smooth
boards with wheels made of spools are
not beyond the capacity of the most
inept carpenter. The whole point is
that while toys are beautiful and con-
venient and desirable, their deprivation
need not rob the child of good and sat-
isfying play material A mother may use
her head instead of her pocketbook, and
see some value in the junk that she
might ordinarily throw away After
cleaning and sorting it, pass it on to
the play box. The childs imagination
will do the rest.

on a fine, large pebble or mud bank.
Their eyes are green and it is the way
you tell them from the mother bees.
Besides. wonderful thing to know, the
father bees do not sting! They love to
play, and will fly on their gauZy wing to
a pebble you have tossed or fly after
you. Now, here is where your nature
lore will stand you in good stead. You
need not fear the carpenter with his
playful habits. The mother is supplied
with a needlelike dart and her eyes are
prominent and black. She means busi-
ness, if you tease her.
These carpenters are expert JudgerS
of soft wood. They can select a pine
post without once failing. A soft wood
is easily worked. and this mother knows
she has from five to eight apartments
to build and stock before her life work
is over. After selecting a post or tree
to her liking, she begins to bite with
her sharp jaws the wood ON the cross
grain. The strong muscles work the
cutting jaws up and down, the sawduSt
begins to fly and steadily the hole gets
larger and deeper. Three-fourths Of an
inch for hall, then a sharp turn to
the right and the making of the long
18-inch tunnel begins.
The carpenter has brushes on her
legs. These brooms sweep and collect
the Sawdust and chips. They are passed
back to her hind legs, where she holds
the debris. When she has more sawdust
than she can hold she backs out of her
hallway and places her load in a pile.
When the tunnel is finally completed it
is as smooth inside as if bored by an
auger. The width of the tunnel is about
three-fourthS of an inch, the mother
has worked more than 16 hours each
day and averages about one-half inch q
day.
The next step is to separate the tun-
mel into rooms. She goes to her saw
dust pile and, taking some of it in her
mouth. she covers the pellet with a
cement mixture which she msnufac-
lures as she chews the wood into round
pellets. Going back to her tunnel, she
places the round pellet three-fourths of
an inch from the hallway opening The
pellets are placed close together In
circle until the first row meets. The
second row is placed on the first one
and gradually the opening is closed. the
last pellet is in the center. A studded
door!
The mother now walks the whole
distance Of the tunnel and comes out
at the other end. She goes to market
for pollen and nectar and makes it into
bee bread. On this loaf she places her
f1rSt egg, shaped like a banana and
creamy white.
Back to the sawduSt pile and mixing
pellets again. One inch from the first
door, which is also a floor to the first
nursery, she begins the ceiling to the
tlrst room. When it is completed the
first room is sealed. the floor to the
second apartment finished and the Sec
ond trip to the pollen market must be
made.
The first egg matches, the grub eats
the food, weaves a silk wrapper, faces
the door and goes to sleep. Awakening,
he gnaws his way to freedom. The last
bee to step out goes by way of the top
floor. Each one has had to open one
door only!

for enjoying open water before Jack

they saw Yowler the Bobcat in the

had seen the tracks of both before and
now they knew what the makers of
those tracks looked like.
They saw at once that they would
