Drummer Hears Some Bad News.
Woryy is th# has* alloy
That'a found wher# should b« purl joy.
• —Old Mother Nature.
Every day Drummer the Wood
pecker spent most of his time in the
old Orchard. Once in a while he flew
| over the edge of the Green Forest.
| hut not’ often, lie didn't like to go
i that far away from home. He wanted
| to he where he could get back quick
ly any time he felt like it, and peep
in and see Mrs. Drummer silting on
the eggs. He hadn't told any one
about those eggs. hut every one
.seamed to know about them. You see
.they all guessed • beca use Drummer
j looked so happy, and because he was
! nlone so much.
There were plenty of others with
similar secrets In the Old Orchard.
I tn fact. Drummer knew where several
homes were. In going over the trees
jus carefully as he did, looking for
food, he couldn't help hut. And some
of these homes. Whenever hr did he
| was very polite. He always left im I
[mediately, and after that kept away
from that particular tree.
One morning w INpi he flew over to
the Old Orchard ho heard a lot of
excited gossip. At first ho didn’t pay1
much attention to it. You see, Drum-!
mer is owe of those who mind their
own business. Bdt when he over- i
heard Jenny Wren scolding about j
Chatterer tho Bed Squirrel, as only '
Jenny can scold, he began to listen.
What he heard didn't make hipi feel
comfortable at all. It seems that :
Chatterer had boon seen early that'
morning in the Old orchard, Javery
one knew what that meant. livery
one knew that it meant mischief. So
far as Drummer could learn Chat
terer had been spying about a little.
But every one knew that, having come
once he would lie almost sure to
Como again, and that sooner or later
What lie heard didn't make him
eonifort able al all.
some one would return to find an
empty neat, for I'hattercr is very
fond of eggs.
Drummer lest his appetite, yes, sir.
Drummer lost his appetite, lie be
pan to worry. Supposing Chatterer
should take it into his head to visit
that maple tree in Parmer Brown’s
dootyard. lie would 1* surq to dis
cover the new homo thpro. He must
fly over at onqe and warn Mrs. Drum
mer to be on the watch for that red
robber.
As soon as he reached his home
Drummer poked his head In the door- ;
way and began to talk excitedly. "My
dear.'' said he, "I’ve heard such bad
news this morning! it lias quite up-,
set Hie. i nave mimed rigr.t over
hero to tell you. Everybody over In
the Old Orchard is so excited over it.
What do you think we had hotter do
about it?”
"When I know what it is perhaps I
can tell you.” replied Mrs. Drummer
without appearing in the least ex
cited.
Drummer looked a little foolish.
"It's Chatterer the Red Squirrel!” he
listened to explain. "He was seen
over in the Old Orohard early this j
morning prowling wound, and of
■ ourse every one knows what he was
there for. He was there trying to
find nests, so that later he may ateal
the eggs if he gets a chance. Sup- j
posing, my dear, he should take It
Intti his head to come over here.
What would we do? Oh, dear, I'm so
worried!'’
