LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

crib he hadn't doubted in the least
that Farmer Browns boy would
give him to Black Pussy or do
something equally cruel, and even
when he found that he was only to
be kept a prisoner in a very COM
Portable prison, with plenty to eat
and drink, he wasn't willing to
believe any good of Farmer Browns
boy Indeed. he hated him more
than ever, If that were possible.
But Farmer Browns boy was very
patient. He came to Chatterer's
prison ever so many times day
and whistled and clucked and talked
to -Chatterer. And he brought good
things to eat. 1t seemed as if he
was all the time trying to think of
some new treat for Chatterer. He
never came without bringing some
thing. At first Chatterer would hide
In his hollow stump as soon as he
saw Farmer Browns boy coming
and wouldn't so much as peek out
until he had gone away. When he
was sure that the way was clear he
would come out again, and always
he found some delicious fat nuts or
some other dainty waiting for him.
After little, as soon as he saw
Farmer Browns boy coming, Chat
terer would begin to wonder what
good thing he had brought this time
and would grow terribly impatient

for Farmer Browns boy to go away
so that he could find it.
BY and by it got so that he
couldn't wait, but would slyly peep
out of his little round doorway to
see what had been brought for him.
Then one day Farmer Browns boy
didn't come at all Chatterer tried
to make himself believe that he was
glad. He told himself that he hated
Farmer Browns boy, and he hoped
that he never, never would see him
again. But all the time he knew that
1t wasn't true. 1t was the longest
day since Chatterer had been a
prisoner. Early the next morning
before Chatterer was out of bed he
heard a step in the woodshed, and
before he thought what he was doing
he was out of his hollow stump to
see if it really was Farmer Browns
boy. 1t was. and he had three great,
fat nuts which he dropped into
ChattererS cage. It seemed to
Chatterer that he just couldn't wait
for Farmer Browns boy to go away.
He darted forward and seized one
Then he scampered to the shelter
Of his hollow stump to eat it. When
1t was finished he just had to have
another. Farmer Browns boy was
still watching. but somehow Chat
terer didn't feel SO much afraid

little branches of the stump and ate

Nobody Hves who's wholly bad;

II only you will do your part.
All his life Chatterer the Red
Squirrel had looked on Farmer
Browns boy as his enemy, just as
did all the other little people of the
Green Meadows, the Green Forest
and the Smiling Pool They feared
him, and because they feared him
they hated him. So whenever he
came near they ran away. Now. at
first, Farmer Browns boy used to
run after them for just one thing
because he wanted to make friends
with them and he couldn't see how
he ever was going to do 1t unless he
caught them. After a while, when
he found that he couldn't catch
them by running after them, he
made up his mind that they didn't
want to be his friends: so he began
to hunt them because he thought 1t
was fun to try to outwit them. OF
course, when he began to do that
they hated him and feared him all
the more. You see, they didn't
understand that really he had one
of the kindest hearts in the world,
and he didn't understand that they
hated him just because they didn't
know him.

hawk, but f1ycatcher. If you will
look at the feet of hawk and then
see what weak little feet the night
hawk has, you will realize what a
foolish name has been given this
bird. There are no talons for cap
turing prey and holding it, and
neither does this bird have the
meat-hook beak of the true hawk
Instead. it has a weak, short bill and
a big grotesque mouth that flaps
open when the bird is racing
through the air. Some call this bird
the bull bat" others the goat
sucker" Why two such wrong
names have been added to the first
one, nighthawk, is hard to say.
Here is bird that appears from
nowhere at twilight. It's fight is
downright weird or erratic, and is
punctuated by a short nasal, un-
musical call that grows very monot-
onous as the evening advances. The
bird comes fluttering toward the
ground, then takes a sudden turn
and goes high into the sky, making
a nose-dive that is quite frighten-
ing. When within few feet of the
ground or treetops, the bird makes
sudden change in its fight, shooting
up once more.
These birds are 10 inches long.
The plumage is combination Of
black, gray, brown and buff, with
white patches on the wings. The
eyes are large, the bill very short
and the mustache rather bristly.
There are two grayish white eggs
with many splashes of gray, black
and pale purple on them. They are
laid in gravelly places, in open
fields on large rocks, on gravel roofs
in cities and sometimes in open
spaces in the woods.
There is much yet to learn about
these interesting insect catchers.
They have legal protection now,
and We hope more of these night
hawks will be turned loose on the
hordes of insects to be found every
where. Since constructive conserva-
tion is TO be our watchWord this
year. it Is high time we checked on
all those who are cooperating with
us. Therefore. it would seem that
the nighthavk is one of the workers
We should be cultivating.

The nighthawk also is known as

many who did not know that to kill
these birds meant TO leave valuable

not only for food destroyed. but

CHAPTER XIII.
The Best We Can Hope for.


Ah, slacks! They were bound to
be mentioned. Since the time is
now, it would be well to face them
at once. You either hate Slacks or
you love them. They are the great
war fashion and according to
some advertisements victory won't
be ours until every woman wears
them.
Now, there are legitimate places
FOR slacks. The girls on factory Jobs
wear them all the time because they
seem suited to the work. Overalls
arc a necessity in mechanical train
ing courses. Lounging pajamas are
great comfort at home. But why
do you have to wear slacks on city
streets just to show you're all-out
in the'war effort? Why do you have
to get into pants to prove your
loyalty?
Most women look like the devil
In slacks They wear them too
tightly drawn at the waist, with
the back bulging out in manner
most unsublime. For the one long
legged, rangy stoma chlcsS girl who
looks like Marlene Dietrich in
trousers. there are all the SO others
who simply look hippy, bulgy and
sloppy
Another big count against them
is that men for the most part are
violently anti-slacks.
If you find you don't own any
slacks and can't live without them,
buy them to wear tWc hopel only
where necessary and appropriate.
Be sure you have them as we'll fit
ted as a good skirt and remember
that women are by nature wider
through the hips than men. Allow
for it. AS to what you pay-who

West opened the nine OF clubs
and East looked thoughtfully at the
dummy. He was quite sure that
South had either three or four clubs
headed by the queen-10. In addi-
ton, since South obviously had no
high card in spades, South must hold
considerable heart strength and pos
sibly the queen of diamonds.
After going over the various pos
sibilities East rightly decided that
there was no chance to defeat three
no-trump by trying to set up the
clubs. He therefore took the king
of clubs and shifted to the five Of
hearts-a very important spot-card.
South put up the king Of hearts
and West signaled encouragement
with the eight of hearts. South
then played for break in diamonds
by playing the ace and king. When
the queen failed to drop. third
round of the suit was led, West
winning with the queen. East dis
carded the deuce OF clubs and West
had to decide OH his next play,
Obviously East did not want a
club return. He had abandoned
the suit and had discarded the deuce
at his first opportunity. Could he
stand a heart return? No, because
he had led the five at the second
trick. A fine player will lead his
lowest card if he has q high enough
card to support return lead; other
wise he leads his highest spot-card.
West could see that the five Of
hearts must have been East's high
est spot-card. Hence West returned
the remaining suit-spades.
Dummy finessed the nine and
East fslse-carded by winning with
the king. South won the heart
return with the ace and finessed
dummy's jack OF spades. East
thereupon took the spade queen,
cashed the club ace and led his
last heart to give West two heart
tricks. The contract was thus set
three tricks.

AN ALLECORY

This rarely beautiful story was told by Rabbi
Herman H. Rubenovitz of Boston, in an address made
recently in a plea for the Red Cross.
When God was about to create man, say the rab-
bis of old, He called together before His Throne a
council of the angelic hosts Create him not" spoke
the Angel of Justice, che will be unjust toward his
fellow He will inure and Cypress the weak and
cruelty ill-treat the feeble"
Create him not" said the Angel of Peace "he
will stain the earth with the blood of his brethren;
the first born of his will be the murderer of his
brother" Create him not, said the Angel of Truth,
"Thou mayest create him in Thine image, after Thy
likeness, and stamp the impress of truth upon his
brow yet he will desecrate with falsehood even
Thine own sanctuary"
Then Mercy the youngest and dearest child of
the thermal Father, stepped before the Sapphire
Throne and knelt before God and spoke, Father o
Father, create him pray. Create him after Thine
image, the favored child of Thy goodness. When
all others forsake him. will be with him. I will low
ingly aid him and turn his very to his own
good will touch his heart with pity, and make him
kind to others weaker than himself" The Father of
the Universe listened to her voice and with the aid
of Mercy, created Man.
