Bedtime Stories
Reddy Tries Clever Trick.

stead of trying to follow Reddy, he
began a careful search around the
place where Reddy seemed to have
come from.
Meanwhile Reddy, realizing that he
was not being followed, did some
quick thinking. Mrs. Reddy must be
warned, so that she would get the
children in the house out Of sight.
At the same time he must, If pos
sible, get this enemy, for that Is what
he felt the Boy was, to look else
where. He must be led away. But
how?
Reddy remembered the old den
some distance away, the one Wnere
he and Mrs. Reddy had lived three
years before. That den had been
found by the Boy. Mrs. Reddy had
seen him there. Evidently he had de-
cided that it was no longer occupied,
or he wouldn't be looking elsewhere.
He must be made to change his mind.
Reddy was off as fast as those swift
feet of his could carry him. Straight
for that old den he made. It didn't
take him long to get there. What do
you think he did then? He barked.
Yes, sir, he did so-he barked. 1t was
a peculiar bark. 1t was a warning
for Mrs. Reddy. It meant danger.
Reddy knew that she would hear it
and he knew what she would do. She
would send those little foxes down in
the ground in hurry Then she
would slip out and try to locate the
enemy and lead him away.
Reddy knew the Boy would hear
that bark, but he didn't know what
the Boy would do. All he could do
was hope. He hoped the Boy would
come over to that den. He barked
a second time. Then he sat quiet
and watchful, his sharp ears set to
catch every fainteSt sound, his nose
testing every Merry Little Breeze. his
eyes taking note of every smallest
movement.
He didn't have long to wait. His
ears told him first that that Boy was
coming. Then a Merry Little Breeze
brought him the Man smell. A mo-
men later he saw the leaves move.
Reddy grinned
Il have got him over here, anyway"
thought he. Now If only can make
him think that this Is where I am
living all will be well"
The Boy stepped out of the brush
and even as he did so Reddy vanished
into the entrance to that den, but
not until he was reasonably sure the
Boy had seen him. The Boy had
There was no doubt about that.
Reddy's clever trick had worked per-
fectly, or so it seemed.

MAN who took part In the
n Third Crusade has left us q
~ record of attacks on cities and
4 4 other battles between Chris
tians and Saracens. His name
was Godfrey de Vinsauf and 1t Is be-
lieved that he was an Englishman of
Norman descent. Here is his account,
in shortened form, of one battle:
"On Saturday. the eve of the nativ-
ity Of the blessed Virgin Mary, at early
dawn, our men armed themselves with
great care to receive the Turks. King
Richard divided the army into IL COM
panies. The Templars formed the
first rank and after them the Bretons,
the men of Anjou, the men Of Poictou,
the Normans, the English and the
Hospitallers. They kept together so
closely that an apple could not have
fallen among them without touching
the men or their steeds.
"At nearly 8 o'clock q body Of Turks,
10000 strong, came down upon us at
full charge. There followed after
them other Saracens called Bedouins-
a savage race who fight on foot and
carry bow, CULVER and round shield.
The earth shook from the loud sounds.
How the Turks pressed on! 1t
rained darts. The air was filled with
shower Of arrows. The bright sun
was hidden. The battle fell heavily
on the Hospitallers, who pushed to the
center Of the army to avoid the fury
Of the enemy.
"A cloud Of dust filled the air: the
enemy pressed in the rear, but the
Christians kept advancing. The blows
Of the Turks fell harmless on the
armor Of our men, and this caused
them to cry out In rage that our people
were made of IRON
1.-TWO Of our knights rushed against
the Saracens at full gallop and other
Hospitallers followed. After them
came the men Of Poictou, the Bretons
and the men Of Anjou. King Richard
rode forward at full speed and cut
down the Turks on every side with
his sword. He carved q wide path for
himself.
ION both sides men fell wounded
or slain. There was enough missiles

The Old Gardener Saws ::

Garden makers who prize early
flowers and have room for shrubs
or low trees should give more at
tention to the crahapples. 1t is
true that their period of bloom is
comparatively short, but while
they are in flower they are sur
passingly lovely. None is hand
Somer than Parkman's Grab,
which was named for Francis
Parkman, the famous historian.
This is a double form of tree,
which grows wild in the Middle
States. It has been found espe-
cially adaptable to cemetery pur-
poses in the East, but that fact
does not initiate against its use
as an ornamental tree in the
home garden. Malus theifera, the
tea crab, Is one of the hand
soonest trees when in bloom which
can be grown successfully in a
Northern climate. It differs from
all others in its stiff wide
spreading and slightly ascending
branches, which make an I'M
usually open head.

THIS is the name Of several parishes
and villages in England, in the
counties Of Lincoln, Huntingdon,
Salop, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Oxford
Gloucester. Stafford, Buckingham and
Northampton. The name signifies a
fixed place-a mansion, town or gar
rison.
The Stowe or Stow family was first
represented in the New England
colony by John Stow, who came over
from Middlesex County. England, and
settled in Roxbury, Mass. in 1854. He
was an active participant in the
affairs of the young colony and served
in the Ancient and Honorable Artil-
lery of Boston.

something you want to know more
about. When the seeds are ready to
depart, the plant seems to have
nodding plumes where flowers were
seen few days before At this stage
it has been called the ground clematis,
a wrong name, but certainly descrip-
tive.
So the goSsamer-l ball, being
packed with seedlets, provided with
plumy parachutes to keep them up,
will ride with their fairy godmother
to some distant place, where they will
settle down on the rolling prairie to

Dane fell. the pasqueflower sprang up.
Many Europeans call the flower the
Danesblood. The name pasque1ower
Is said to have been given to it be-
cause it was so abundant at Easter
tide, and some even claim that the
dye for coloring Easter eggs may be
obtained from the plant.
The leaves are so fuzzy that it is
called the gosling plant by children
who seek the flowers in early Spring.
It is most likely the pasque's scheme
for keeping pilfering ants and other
insects from the treasure house.
Ants, as you know, are a thrifty
tribe, but their bodies are covered with
armor, and they are of no use what
ever to a flower hostess who wishes
to send and receive pollen from a
neighbor. Only the insects clad in
furry bodies, like the bees, are of
great assistance, and they are the
early flyers of the season.
While the flowers are very exquisite
and lend beauty to the landscape, the

this lovely flower for her

pasquefiower is also known
from Illinois to the Rocky

Beginning in March, and contin-

pasquefiower is seen on the dry soil
Of the prairieS, where, indeed, the
blooms are most appreciated. for they
are early, and their soft purplish tints
give to the landscape fairy-hke

There is a pasqueflower in Eng

American cousin, and for all we know

scendant of the English plant.
