Bedtime Stories
The Cry in the Night.

Of Spooky the Screech Owl. A few
minutes later he heard the hunting
call of Hooty the Great Horned Owl.
THAT must be what wakened me-"
said Farmer Browns Boy. THAT fell
low must have been close to camp
and hooted. When he is near he is
enough to awaken anybody"
Once more Farmer Browns boy
began to browse. He was almost
asleep when there came a cry from
somewhere outside that not only
made his eyes fly wide open, but made
him sit up abruptly. He always has
been sure that his hair was standing
on end. OF course, this probably was
his imagination, but it shows how
frightened he was. Cold chills ran
all over him. He held his breath
while he strained his ears for the
source of sounds outside.
Once more all was still. It was q
stiffness that he fairly felt. Neither
Spooky nor Hooty was to be heard.
It was so still that the snap Of
dying timber under the evaporator
made Farmer Browns Boy Jump. It
was as If that dreadful sound had
frightened all nature into stiffness.
Once more that terrible cry rang out
Never in all his life had Farmer
Browns Boy heard anything like it.
He shivered again. There was some
thing human about that scream, yet
it was indescribably wild and terrify-
ing. His first thought was that it
was the scream of Yowler the Bobcat,
but he held that thought only mo-
ment, for he had heard Yowler more
than once and Yowler, at his worst,
could not approach the terrifying eff
feet of this cry. He thought of Puma
the Mountain Lion. He had never
heard the scream of Puma. He had
heard that it was a very terrible sound.
He could think of no one else who
could possibly scream like that. He
had often heard the rather frightful
sounds that Hooty the Great Horned
Owl and his cousin, the Barred Owl,
can and do make, but this scream was
worse and quite unlike any sound an
Owl ever uttered.
Farmer Browns Boy got out OF bed
and somewhat fearfully peered out of
the little window, half expecting to
see Puma the Mountain Lion just out
side. He saw no one. After a while
he crept back, but it was long before
he went to sleep again.

knew that he had nothing to fear
from Buster Bear; that if they should
meet it would be Buster who would
run.
Farmer Browns Boy knew that
sometimes Puma the Mountain Lion,
who is a great traveller. came down
from the Great Mountain, but he also
knew that there was nothing to fear
from Puma, for, big as he is. he is
at all times anxious to keep out Of
sight of man. It is the same way
with Yowler the Bobcat and Tufty
the Lynx. So Farmer Browns Boy
knew that, while it was quite likely
that Yowler might come prowling
around that sugar house during the
night, he was not to be feared in the
least.
1t was a moonlight night. Farmer
Browns Boy sat up late keeping the
fire going under the evaporation, for
there was a splendid run of sap this
year and it was necessary to boil 1t
down to strip as fast as possible in
order to make the most of it. When
at last he did go to bed he was so
tired that he dropped off to sleep al
most at once. Some time later he
awakened with a queer feeling that
some strange sound had been the
cause of his awakening. He lay in
his bunk listening. For a while he
heard nothing save the tremulous call

promptly doubled and when it came

Often cause you needless fright.
Farmer Browns Boy.

FARMER BROWNS BOY was
- spending the night alone in
the sugar house in the Green
a Forest. He didn't mind. He
didn't mind in the least. The truth
IS. he rather enjoyed it. He knew, or
thought he knew. that there was
nothing that would or could harm
him. You see he was used to the
Green Forest, and he knew the people
who lived there. He knew that some
where Buster Bear was probably
nearing the end of his long sleep If he
were not already awake. More than
once in the past Buster had appeared
around the sugar camp at this time

RY W. CURTIS NICHOLSON.


THE following letter has been re-
ceived from c. F. c. Of Nor
folk, Va:
II shall appreciate it If you will
advise me the meaning Of restrictive
and non-restrictive clauses. The
punctuation governing these clauses
has always proved difficult for me.
For instance: The battleships
which entered Toxic Bay Does that
mean that some battleships did not
enter Toxic Bay?
Another example: The rebel SOL
diers who killed the four men Does
that mean that some of the rebel sol.
diers did not participate in the killing
of those men?
please explain this matter in detail
and oblige."
C. F. c.: Restrictive clauses and
non-restrictive clauses are adjective
clauses. A non-restrictive clause i
purely descriptive. 1t could be omit.
ted, the meaning still being quite
clear. Such a clause is usually sepa.
rated from the rest of the sentence by
commas. and if it modifies an inan.
innate object which" is used instead
of that" Example: Your last years
hat, which you will find up there or
the shelf, should be discarded"
A restrictive clause is vital to the
meaning of the sentence. It desig,
mates one particular object among
many. Example: THE time that ]
spent on your problem has been vast
ed" I spend time on many things. but
this particular time is that which ]
spend on your problem. The SEN
tence would not be clear if that
spend on your problem" were omitted
Note that this clause is not separated
from the rest of the sentence by
commas.
When persons are referred to, either
that" or who" may be used in q
restrictive clause.

New World
BY GEORGE ELLISTON.


Because I love you, commonplace
And trite have dropped away.
The world is new, more beautiful,
More rare each passing day.
How can 1t be that love could bring
Such Joy. such rarity,
AS to make over life and dreams
In their entirety?
What is the substance Of this thing
That has come over me
And changed my days and changed
my life
And all my eyes can see?
Tell me, is love q madness or
A dream? All, who can say?
To some 1t brings lasting Joy,
To some grief's bitter day.
But none can tell you why you love,
And only this they know
That love can make an old world new
Has magic to bestow.

Wren some bright morn

his vacation, since last
October, south of the Carolinas. In
a few days he will be joined by the
wren ladies, and no doubt he met the
'right girl" before he started North.
Upon her arrival the song becomes

His bride, dressed modestly in the

over all responsibilities of the home.
