■M What Mary Louise Likes Best of All THINK the very nicest thing about being a Go-Hawk is that you i ean be one wherever you are and a good one, too," writes Mary -L Louise to Happy. This little Ohio girl perhaps does not know how very true a thing she has written. Whatever being a Go-Hawk means to Mary Louise and to all the rest of the Happy Tribe boys and girls Just that much of the real Go-Hawk spirit will you take with you wherever you may be. Whether your summer vacation Is being spent at home, c? perhaps you have gone visiting. Still you may be sure there will be plenty of chances to prove how well you are living our motto and pledge. Does it mean anything more to you than Just repeating so many words? In whatever manner each day and hour you make use of the motto and pledge. Just so far you are good Go-Hawks. One might have rows and rows of books snd yet if you did not use them they would not he of very much good to you. Aryl If you had a whole closet fui! of clothes and never put any of them on they would not do you very much good. Tou may know many ways of being polite si Wnd to thhse about you, but if you never take the trouble really to use what, you know it will amount to nothing. The watchword of the Happy Tribe is kindness to ppople. birds, dumb animals, trees and plants—kindness, kindness, kindness: When bedtime comes it is fun, isn't it, to look back over a day of many kindnesses to others. If you haven't anything to your credit at the ^ _ end of a day, then it Is well to remember tomorrow ' will soon be today and you Will have a chance to Jt begin all over again, - .

NOW r>0 ON WITH THE STORY (Continued from last Sunday.) ‘‘It doesn't seem as though I could stand being any happier. Did you see all of thosa things I have taken to my shop to mend? My. but I wish it were vacation." "How would you Ilka to give a oobbing party, since the snow Is so tine nnd it is moonlight?” "Would you go with us?” "I? Wouldn’t you rather I would «sk somebody younger?" "I should say not. Anybody young wouldn't bs half as nice as you. nnd you won’t take up so much room.” ”1 forgot that we would all have to sit in the bottom of the bob. I was thinking if we could make it comfortable, we might bundle up little Jimmy and take him along." ‘‘I’ll tell you. I’ll make two little seats. and we’ll put one at each side at the back for you and Jimmy and I’ll try to make them rock -a little so they will be real easy. Do come, ■won’t you?” Mrn. Shirley did not wish to dis appoint him, but she was a little doubtful about the succesa of his seata. However, she said nothing to dampen his enthusiasm, and left Tinker to his own devices the follow ing day in making the seats which were destined to hecome famous. She invited the Go-Hawks. and concluded to ask Rachel, Jane and Ruth, the three other missionaries, who, with Patience and Prudence, had adopted T’ncle Peter as a hea then. She had felt several times of late that she and I’ncle Peter had much in common. She made a spec ial trip to Jimmies home, and thr little fellows Joy at being Invited repaid her a thousand fold. "We will come for you Jimmie, and I will bring along warm robes. Tinker is making some special a»ats for you and me." "Will you have bella on the aerses?” The bov s face was almost pale from the Intensity if his eager ness. "Plenty of them, and the prettiest, I Here are two nuts that come from three Go-Hawks who live In Fall River, Mass., I>etlt!a, Rita and Mary Sullivan.

I will try to protect the birds, all dumb anlmala, tree# and plants.” . V. i , I —* tinkling bells I can find. Have you ever hhd an old-fashioned bob ride, Jimmie?” “Xo, but I dreamed I did once, and ever since then I have played the dream was really, truly true, and I've thought about it ever since.” “Be ready at 7 and looking out of the window, and you can see us way down the street In the moon light," she told him in parting. Tinker was determined to make those seats his greatest Invention and he lay awake at night trying to think of something new for them. At last it eame, the great inspiration. He hollowed out the center of each, and made a square place large enough to slip in a small water-bottle. In look ing around for things to mend he had discovered two old water-hags to which he had fitted stoppers. Tinker planned that at the very last minute lie would go to the kitch en, fill his bags with boiling water and insert them In the neats, and thus would he he able to keep the Squaw Bady and Jimmie warm. He managed to put a back to each seat and had tried his best to find some thing that resembled a rocker, with the result that the seat was liable to take an unexpected lunge in almost anv direction. When the evening came, and the boh, with its heavy robes and bottom all covered with atraw, waa at the door. Tinker disappeared and Mre Shirley told the children to stow t!.»mselves away, leaving room at the end for Tinker, Jimmie and herself. At last came Tinker, holding care fully in hla arms on# of the precious seats. "This Is yours. Squaw Badv, and I want to get you all fixel in it, and then I will go hack for the other. I made yours a little bigger,” he whispered. (Copyright, 1»24.) (Continued next Sunday,, Field and Forest V_ J Last Sunday we made a Utile study cf ihe lovely magnolia tree go w'-U known to all (lo-llawka who live In the south. The magnolia of the north Is called the cucumber tree and with Its large heart shaped leaves Is always a good shade tree. I*g flow rrs look like tulips ami are yellowish g.een, much the same color as the leaves. The green cones that contain the seeds give the tree the name of cucumber.” Thev are Irregular In form and lumpy. When ripe the cells split open and th* scarlet seed lets down from each on an elastic thread. The wool of the cucumber tree is close grained and a aoft yellowish brown. The tulip tree la another relative of the magnolia family that also has large flowers. Its yellow blossoms that appear In June Invite the beee to come for the nectar hidden at the bottom of the flower cup* among the many stamens. It la always a beautiful sight to geg the tops of the trees fluttering wltn their yellnw bios seems. The tulip tree Is not only use fill for shade and ornament but the pulp of the wood for the manufacture of the ordinary postcards. The seeds of the tulip tree nr* not set free as those of the magnolia. The cones have blades such ns the winds of s maple seed. At the base of the blade you will And the email closed seed cases.

"Oh goody," cried th* rest. We're aa hungry as a bear. So they gulltly started down the stairs, when sud denly the platter slipped from Jer ald's hands, and broke In small piece* on the cement steps, the fudge going In all direction*. Just then Rena with her play mates were sitting In th* awing. "Oh. what waj» that craah.” cried all the girls together. Come, let’s hurry. Georgina sou go first, and the rest will follow.
