Ask your friend* amt neighbor* about Cltmalene, the great water aoftener—Adv. pecker and Mr*. Drummer were just like other bird habies. No sooner were they all fed than all began crying for more. Drummer and Mrs. Drummer were kept busy from day light to dark hunting for food for t hem. The thoughts of both were now wholly of those bdbies. Drummer was even more proud of them than he had bee^i of the eggs, but he had Then Chatterer slowly went all around the tree at the lower edge of that hand of tin. no lime^in which to show his pride. Ho had even forgot to worry about Chatterer the Red Squirrel. His one thought was of food. My, how he did sleep nights! It was Just the same with Mrs. Drummer. Both were so tired when night came that they were asleep the Instant they had settled down. Then one morning as Drummer was flying over to the maple tree with food for those crying babies ho saw something that made his heart almost stand still. What he saw was Chatterer the Red Squirrel making straight for that maple tree! "Oh. dear-” thought Drummer. "Oh, dear me! Now one of us will have to be on guard all the time, and how ever will those babies get enough to eat?" He hurried on and found Mrs. Drummer just eoming out of the doorway. He told her what he had seen, and together they waited. They didn’t have long to wait. In ft mo ment or two they saw Chatterer scnmpei'ing across the dooryard straight for that maple tree. They saw him leap up on the trurfk and start up. Suddenly a surprising thing hap pened. Chatterer fell back to the ground! The Woodpeckers couldn't understand it. Chatterer himself un derstood it still less. Once more he tried, and once more the same thing happened. The third time Chatterer climbed carefully. He didn't rush as he had done at first. So It was that when he tame to the band of tin put Around the trunk of the tree by Farmer Brown's Boy lie didn’t make the mistake of jumping onto it as he had done before. He simply put one paw up, and found right away that his claws would not catch into this queer thing. Then Chatterer slowly went ajl the way around the tree at the lower edge of that hand of tin, trying to find a place where he could get up. But there was no place. His claws wouldn't catch in that tin, and there was no way for him to get across It. If ever thebe was an angry Squir rel that Squirrel was Chatterer, lie could hoar the liabies of Drummer and Mrs. Drummer crying for food above him, and try as he would he couldn't get up to them. He looked around for another tree from which lie might Jump across into this tree, hut there was none near enough This tree stood quite by itself. Do what he would Chatterer couldn't get a step higher up in that tree, and those babies were perfectly safe so far as he was concerned. Slowly Drummer and Mrs. Drum mer began to understand what that tin band was' for. They understood that once again Farmer Brown's Boy had proven himself their very best friend. Theh- babies were safe. There was nothing for them to worry about. They could laugh at Chatterer the Bed Squirrel. They hardly gave him a look as together they flew away in search of more food.
