Four hundred and eighty

a sorta wall from the canoes out
in the river Then he got it!
That old scaramouche had been

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON wv. BU

Jenny Wren was too busy to talk
and Peter Rabbit soon tired of
watching her work. He wanted to
gossip with some one, SO finally he
hoped over to call on Johnny
Chuck, whose home was between
the roots of an old apple tree in
the far corners of the Old Orchard.
Hello, Johnny Chuck" cried
Peter. you've lived in the Old
Orchard long time so you ought
to be able to tell me something I
want to know Why is that none of
the Sparrow family except that noisy
nuisance, Bully, builds in the trees
of the Old Orchard? Is it because
Bully has driven all the others out?"
Johnny grinned. 'Listen!" said he.
Peter listened. From a tree Just
a little way off came clear Chip,
chip, chip" Peter knew without
looking who was over there. That was
the voice of one of his oldest and
best friends IN the Old Orchard, a
little fellow with a red-broWn cap,
brown back Streaked with black,
broWnish wings and tail, gray waist
coat, black bill and with a little
white line above each eye. 1t was
Chippy, as everybody calls the
Chipping Sparrow, the smallest and
trimmest member of the Sparrow
family
Peter looked a little foolish. 'I
forgot all about Chippy," said he.
Now I think of it, I have found
Chippy in the Old Orchard ever
since I can remember. I never have
seen his nest because I never hap
pened to think about it. Does he
make it of trash like his cousin,
Bully?"
Johnny Chuck laughed. Il should
say mott" he exclaimed Twice his
nests have been in this very tree
and there was no trash in either of
them, can tell you! His nest is as
dainty as he is, and not a bit bigger
than it has to be. 1t is made mostly
of fine, dry roots, and is lined inside
with horSehair."
Chippy and Mrs. Chippy came
fitting from tree to tree until they
were on branch right over Peter
and Johnny. "HelloI" cried Peter.
you folks seem very busy. Haven't
you finished building your nest yet?"
Nearly" replied Chippy. It's
all done but the horsehair. You
haven't seen any around anywhere,
have you?"
Peter and Johnny shook their
heads, and Peter confessed that he
would not know it if he saw it. He
often had found hair from the coats
of Reddy Fox and Old Man Coyote
and Lightfoot the Deer, but hair
from the coat of horse was quite
another matter.
ut isn't hair from the coat of
horse, you goose; it is the long hairs
from the tail or name of a horse
that we want" cried Chippy as he
prepared to follow Mrs. Chippy
toward Farmer Browns barnyard
1T makes the very incest lining for
a nest"
Chippy and Mrs Chippy were
gone long time, but when they
did return each was carrying a long
black hair. Mrs. Chippy was in
high spirits because, as she ex-
planned, that little nest would soon
be ready for the four beautiful little
blue eggs with black spots on one
end which she meant to lay in it.
Il just love them" declared Peter
as he watched his two little
feathered friends putting the finish
ing touches to the little nest far out
on a branch of one of the apple
trees.
