companied by hi* faithful dog, milked
briskly toward the Shirley home.
CHAPTER III
Mr*. HlilrJey had drawn her chair
closer (o tha open fire, near which
stood the library table, covered with
late hooka and magazines. Her face
reflected the soft glow of the fire
light and the reading lamp with Its
long hanging ghrrn and roes shade.
She waa still sweet and fair to look
upon, although many years had
passed since ehe came to the brick
house a bride. Her home, high up
on the river bank, commanded a fine
view both up and down stream. "The
old Shirley place," aa It had of late
been called, wea a picturesque spot
In summer, with Ita tangle of vines
and quaint flowers which Ita mistress
waa fond of planting.
Back of the house was a steep ra
vine and a bit of woods, whera the
children of the neighborhood were
wont to congregate and play. No one
dlaturbed them, for both Mr*. Shir
ley and her eon loved to heer the
glad young voices, and even went eo
far as to add attrartlona to lure them
to their choeen playground rather
than to drive them away. At the end
, of the block was the famous hill, the
,loy of the no-llAwka end the tenor
of their parents, because It sloped
down to the river. It was safe enough
this November night, for the river
wag frozen solid.
Aa Jack, followed by the faithful
King, trudged up the driveway he
could hear th* voice* „f hla Indiana
ns their boh went spinning down the
hill In tha moonlight. Ills mind was
Intent on the task before him, for he
wag eager to render a real service to
thg friend who had stood hack of
him In so many boyish scrapes. As
hg grossed the veranda he glanced
Intg tho windows, for no shades ware
drawn, and the firelight streamed
out across the drlfta of anow on the
lawn, lie was glad when Mrs. Shir
ley was atone and that the fire burned
eg cheerily -and then, lie found him
self within th* hall and shaking
hands.
Mra. Shirley triad not to betray that
ah* was surprised at thy unezpected
call, "la this tha famous dog of
whom I have heard so much?" She
patted King's head, and h* wagged
hla tall sociably.
"King alwaya goes where I do, and
so you will not mind my taking him
Into th# library, will you?"
"Not at all, and Just lay your coat
and cap here, that they may he warm
* for you later." She lad th# way Into
the library and-drew anothar chair
to the fire.
"It i* lovely of yon, Jack, to pome
to aee an old lady, when I know that
your playmate* muet all he out rotat
ing, for thla la atich a fine wlnter'a
night, and It la Friday, too."
"It la a good thing It la Friday,
for then T ran atay up later, and If
It hadn't been 1 couldn't have come
over."
Mr*, fihlrley wondered at fh# na
tore of the errand that could havo

"Mra. Hhlrley, my mother tails me

"Of rouree It la, dearie. Ha la ell I

"If there wue aoiriethlng you could

you like to have somebody tell you,
*o you could get busy and do it?"
Mr*. ,Shirley did not smile, for »he
realized how much in earnest the boy
was, and that he was about to tell
something which not only touched
her life, but lay very close to hi*
own heart. "Ve*. indeed. I would
thank anyone who could make Robert

Once upon e time there were some
animal*, they wanted to change their
voire*. The Lion wanted to "moo”
like a cow. The Wolf wanted to bleat
like a sheep. The Fox wanted to
crow like a rooster and th# Cat
wanted a squeak Ilk* a mouse. So
after they told each other how they
wanted to talk. They had a wise
man coma and teach them how to
talk their different way. After they
had boon taught their new way they
thanked the man and he went away.
Then the Lion went to th# Cow-yard
where a baby calf wae. “moo," ealrt
the Lion and the calf thought It was
Ida mother and went to let her In,
whfn th« door wa# open th# Lion
Jumped upon th* calf and ate It.
Then the Wolf went to the eheep
yard where a baby eheep lived. Th#
Wolf went up to the door and bleat
ed Ilk# a eheep and th* lamb thought
It was her mother and opened the
door and tbs wplf pounced on the
lamb and ate It.
Then tha Fox went to the poultry
yard and began to crow Ilk* a
rooster, the hen thought It was th*
rooster with a fat worm and went to
let him In, when the door opened the
fox pounced on the hens and ate
them. Then th# Cat went to the
ham where some mice were In a
nest, ha began to squeak like a
mouse and the mice thought It was
their grandfather with a Id* piece
of cheese, so^thsy opened the door
to let In the cat, when It was open
the cat pounced upon the mice and
devoured them.
When the wlee men hearlT what
had happened he called th* animate
to him and told them they would
have to take bark their old volcea

Aa aach naw season cornea It aaema
tha beat one of all. Especially In the
spring am I glad that my little house
stands so close to the woods, where
I can watch th# trees wakening frem
their long winter's sleep. Among the
dark trunka of other trees tha gray
beeches have looked almost whit*.
Hidden In tha silky brown bud
acalea of tha beach, with Its many
layers, have been the young shoots
This Is tha month when they puah
aside thalr wrappings. Tha outer
scales are falling while tha Inner
ones are growing longer, and now
the silky-coated baby lea res are ar
pearing. No tree In all tha woods
seemed quite ao lovely this morning
aa tha beech. Its twigs all covered
with tender baby leaves of green.
One almost wishes these hablea might
stay aa they are always.
Roma of you writs me la March
that you had already bean la tha
wooda for pussywillows that tall ao
early that spring la on tha way. Tha
brown scales of tha poplar tree loosen
In March on tha buds that are plump.
Then tha fussy gray puastaa, all fluah
ed with pink, puah thalr way out and
wavs at ua from avary branch. Aa
soon aa thalr golden pollan dust la
opened their catklna fall and are
scattered to the wind.
Often do I wish thee* early spring
days that all my young friends among
tha Go-Hawks might find tha little
winding road that leads to tha wooda.
If ever you do, then look for a brown
cottage with many windows, and un
derneath each one a ahelf for the
birds1 uee In the winter. Tou will
know the house because the path
leads from the front door straight
Into the wooda. Better wear your
buttons when >-oil come to look for
me. Then 1 will “now you are Go
Hawks The very minute you see me
you will guess that I am your
