ried because in that snug, comfortable
home were five babies not yet old
enough to start out in the Great
World.
Now that that two-legged creature

know another minute of peace here" !"
said Mrs. Timmy to herself. MY
babies are safe only when no one
knows where they are. must get
them out of here. must find new
home for them"
Although it was in the daytime
and Mrs. Timmy does not like to be
out in the daylight, she went straight
over to another tree some distance
away, a tree she knew all about. High
up in this tree was another old home
of Drummer the Woodpecker. She
knew all about it. That is, she had
known all about it. The only thing
she didn't know about it now was
whether or not it was being used by
some one else. So now she went
over to investigate. Cautiously she
poked her head into the entrance.
There was no one in there. There
was, however, nest in there. 1t was
an old nest that had bsen built IN
there the year before by a pair OF
Bluebirds.

self. This bed will do for the pres

~ 9TH the giant and common
x stag beetles belong to a small
| but very conspicuous family.
You may go hunting the giant
in the decayed trees of the Southern
States and the common one in the
Eastern woods.
Their first name gives you your
cue for Identification, their branch
ing horns being we'll described.
Our fathers and grandfathers are
well acquainted with stag beetles, and
little girls in the olden days used to
tie thread about the horns of the
"stags" to form traces for the tiny
chariots to be pulled about for the
wee dolls seated in the drawn vehicle
The beetles never seemed to resent
the task and walked slowly about,
making little "buzzing" noise
through their mustaches. as they kept
to the path marked out for them.
These "steeds" are from 11a to 2
inches long, not including the hand
some horns or antlers. The females
have none. The chitin or hard COW
ering of the beetles is a rich ma
hogany brown and is the armored
livery of all beetles, though the colors,
of course, vary with the species.
You know that beetles belong to the
order Coleoptera, the largest in the
insect world, an army Of some 1872, 900
species, $4,000 of which are in North
America, north of Mexico.
What distinguishes beetles from the
other insects are their hard wing
cases, called eltyra. These cover the
true wings, that are membranous and
so large they have to be folded in
order to be covered
Their mouth parts are well devel-
oped and fully able to bite and chew
almost any substance, animal or vege-
table.
Their metamorphosis is complete.
The offspring hatch from eggs and
are called grubs. They have six true
legs, with one exception, the snout-
beetles group, which have none.

Bedtime Stories
Wonderful Little Mother.

ALL but III feel easier In my mind
if We do move. I'll feel easier for
knowing that that two-legged creature
doesn't know where we are. Suppos-
ing he should take a notion to want
one of my babies!" Little Mrs. Tim
my shuddered at the thought.
She went back home For a few
moments she sat looking out of her
doorway. She was making sure that
no one was watching. Then she went
down in the house, and a moment
later she was back in that doorway,
carrying one of her babies. She had
hold of him by the skin of his breast,
and his arms and legs were curled
up around her neck
She carried him up to the top of
the tree. Then she made a long leap
out into space. Spreading her arms
and legs out as far as possible, so
that the flap of skin between wrist
and ankle on each side was stretched
out fiat, she sailed down, down,
down, to the foot of another tree so
feet away. AS she approached this
she glided up slightly and alighted
gently on the trunk, still holding her
baby. Up this tree she ran, to repeat,
and sailed to another tree so feet
away. A third time she did it, and
this brought her to the tree where
her new home was to be- The baby
was placed In the nest and the
mother returned. This time she did
not follow the same route. She made
one Jump of a hundred feet. You
see' with no baby to carry she could
jump farther.
so, one by one, the five babies were
carried by that wonderful little mother
10 the new home, and not once did
sne go down on the ground. Then,
When the last one had been safely
carried to the new home, she once
more returned to the old home. This
tlme She got big mouthful of the
so1t bedding there and carried that
70 the new home and tucked it in and
around and under the babies. Back
again for more bedding, and back
again, until at last all of it had been
carried over to the new home. Then
and only then, did that wonderful
little mother draw a long breath free
of anxiety.
