CHAPTER XI.
The Noise on the Roof. .
As soon as she heard that Jasper
Jay intended to visit her cherry tree,
to enjoy the ripe fruit, Rusty Wren's
!wife began to worry. And she made
herself , so unhappy that Rusty
couldn't help wishing that Jolly
Robin had kept his news to himself.
"Don't be alarmed 1" he said to
her, after Jolly had gone. "Jasper
Jay can't harm the children, for
theyMI be safe in the nest. And
luckily our doorway is too small for
him." .
But Mrs. Rusty wouldn't be
calmed.
"He's a great, cruel bully." she re
plied. "And if he spends much time
here I'm afraid the children will
starve, for neither you nor I will be
Table to go out and find food for
'them; because Jasper would be sure
to pounce on us; and what chance
would we hare against him?"
"We'll go together," said Rusty
Wren, looking very brave.
But Mrs. Wren said she wouldn't
think of leaving her six small chil
dren all 'alone in the house.
"Everything will be all right,-'
Rusty assured her. "You know
Jasper isn't coming unless he can
'hnd the time. Jolty Robin said so,
And maybe he won't be able to get
here at all." ;
They had gone inside their house
to talk over the matter in private,
And Rusty had hardly ' finished
"Jay! Jayl" Jasper Jay's harsh voice
was unmistakable.
speaking when a loud bang, fol
lowed by a clatter, sounded on the
tin roof above their heads.
It was no wonder that they, both
jumped. ' -A
"Goodness 1" eVclaimed Rusty's
wife. "What's that?"
But Rusty couldn't tell her. Dur
ing all the weeks they had lived
there he had heard nothing like
that.
While they listened the noise was
repdated. And Mrs. Rusty declared
that the sky must be falling, for she
had never heard such a dreadful
sound in all her life.
"I'll go right ou and see what it
is," Rusty Wren said. ' '
But his wife caught hold of his
coatails and begged him to- stay
with her.
"No! no she cried. "Yo must
not stir outof the house. I'd be
terribly worried if you left me alone
here with these six small children.
And you might get hurt, besides."
Meanwhile the racket on the roof
continued, with only a short pause
between each . outburst. The six
Wren children began to, cry for
they were hungry as well as fright
ened. And all the time Mrs. Rusty
. clung to her husband's coat tailsand
besought him not to leave her.
To tell the truth, he had no such
intention.' Though he was very
brave for his sSze, he was thoroughly
alarmed. And for the time being he
was quite content to stay inside his
snug house and hope that the trou
ble xpuld soon come to an end.
- On the -whole,, the Wren family
spent a very unpleasant quarter of
an hout. The bang, clatter, bang
on their roof still continued until
" the din became alm5st unbearable.
And 'Rusty Wren grew so desperate
that he had almost made up his
mind to break away from his wife,
even if he had to leave his coat tails
behind him, and dash out" of doors
A to ee what was the matter.
Then all at once ,a different sound
fell upon their ears. And as soon
as ,thcy heard it they knew at once
that the sky was not falling, any
how. 7 I"
"Jay! jay!" Jasper Jay's harsh
voice was unmistakable. He had
been playing one of his sly tricks
on the Wren family; and they had
' never guessed that it was he!

Stiik to It
You' work hard every day,
when you liave paid your bills at the
end of the mouth you find you have
little left.
Frequently the thought comes to
vou. "What is the use of hustling all
the time when I can .barely make
ends meet? Why not quit trying to
live as I do, quit providing tor my
familv as I do. and Ket a job which
is easier and the pay less, of course?"
The more your mmd travels in
this line, the more strong your feel
ing that you are working too pard.
The direct resultis to lessen your
efforts on your jotvand the next re
. suit is that you lose your job and a
more energetic man will get it. -
Realize before 'it is too late that
such thoughts make of yon a quitter.
Thousands and thousands of other
men are situated just as you are and
they keep a stiff backbone and a stiff
upper lip and an irotr jaw arid they
forge ahead
Do vou want to be discharged in
favor of another man?
; It is time you get a grip on your
.self. ' Take your knocks like a man a
real man and keep going.

More Truth
By JAMES J.
SHEER
An English scholar declares that science Is curse to mankind.
From early childhood I was, taught
To- place serene reliance
Upon th& many wonders wrought f
By gentlemen of science.
1 And therefore I was shocked to find
That science only doubles
1 The trials and worries of mankind ,
And multiplies its troubles.
r x.
"Tut! tut!" we said, "Dear me! My stars!
If science is the buncombe,
We'll have to take our motor cars v
And railroadfrains and junk 'em.
A man, in making ocean trips,
Can't even sail in low boats,
For science moves all modern ships;
He'll have to go in row-boats."
- ;
I straightway took thrrelephorie '
To call Columbia cege,
, ! And make tq the professors known,,
J ' , - My new acquired knowledge.
At least two hours, in a fret
That stuffy booth I haunted . .
. But all in vain; I couldn't get ;
"n The number that I wanted.
And then it struck me like a shot,
"The telephone appliances '
Is one convenience we have got
From gentlemen of science."
Which said, I murmured, "I'll be blessed,
' The Britisher that sired
The thought that science is a pest,
Was certainly inspired!" '

Can anything be done to "tone
Sown" the" taste of a little girl of
nine for brigfll colors? '
Time will adjust this matter. It
is "natural" that a child of '. nine
should like bright colors. Let her
have them; at the same time explain
to her that it is customary, in wear
ing apparel, among persons of good
taste, to limit bright colors to house
wear, or to ribbons, scarfs - and
caps wTien out of doors.

City Gas Chemist ; Tells
How to Regulate Stoves
Prof. C. F. Crowley, city gas
chemist, "said yesterday that
Omaharrs can save thousands of dol
lars a year by learning how to regu
late the gas flow into their stoves. V
"A white flame indicates that
there isn't enough air flowing to tht
burner; back fire indicates that
there is too much air," he said. "The
right flame is blue and Steady. By
setting the small slide in front of
each burner to the proper place, the
right flow of gas and air will be se
cured." Sarpy County Officers to '
