You Iiave grown- that's the whole trouble! And you've got us into a pretty fix. "I begin to think that it was all planned this way by his father," Mrs. Rusty told her husband, "so 'Mr. Chippy wouldn't have to take care of his son. But I don't intend to adopt a big, overgrown boy like him not when I have six small chil dren of my own!" Chippy, jr., couldn't help feeling botli uncomtortable and unhappy. "I want to go home!" he blub bered. "It's almost my bedtime. And my father and my mother won'tiike it at all if I stay here all night." VWell," said Rusty Wren, "I don't know how you're going to leave our house if you can't squeeze through' the door. So I'll hurry over and tell your father about this trouble, and he can jjreak the news gently to your mother." Then Rusty went off, flying direct "ly to the stone wall where the Chip py family, lived. And soon he was explaining to Mr. CJiippy" how his son was inside their hpuse and couldn't leave. . , 1 Now Mr. Chippy was unusually mild mannered. But he became greatly excited as soon as he heard Rusty's story. "It's just like being caught in a ' trap!" he exclaimed. "And I can't . help feeling that you've' played a trick on my son-probably to - please Johnnie Green. . . . If you flon't let my hoy free tomorrow , morning at daybreak I shall certain ly make trouble for you." Mr. Chippy's warning amazed Rusty Wren. But he 'couldn't help laughing at the idea of anybody causing him any trowble. "I'm so" deep in trouble rlow," l.e told Mr. Chippy, "there's nothing you can do to make matters any worse for me. I've six growing chil dren to bring up, and now I have your son to take care "of, and my wife thinks everything xis my fault, tecause wanted to hire a boy to ( help me catch insects. -, "So jou can't scare me by ynv threads. I only wishyou would come to my house and take your son away with you if you can." "I'll come and I'll tear your house down!" Mr. Chippy cried fiercely. And he began screaming, "Chip, chip, chip, chip," in a very shrill voice which was most annoy ing to hear. Rusty Wren did not like to listen to him. So he flew back home and went to bed. He onV wished Jihat it were possible for Mr. Chippy to brfak into his house and rescue Chippy, jr.

' In the days before tbfc; manu facture of glass was as well per-' fected as it is today, mirrors with uneven, imperfect surfaces were often turned out. When one looked into thes, the face would apncpr to be distorted pr bent out of shape, owing to fhe dif ferent angles at which the light was reflected. "4 J Much the same thing occurs Nvhen we place a stick in the waCr so that one end is above the surface and the other end below. JThere appears to be a distinct bend in the stick, the part below water looking like it makes a -complete angle with the portion above. Thi$ is due, not to any action of the water upon the stick, (but to an alter ation in the direction of the"" rays of light, known as "refraction." The air and the water being of lfffcrent densities, lie light can not pass through both oi them in the same direction, and it is the rays themselves rather than the' stick which are bent or dis torted, though we have the im pression that the stick has been affected. Increased knowledge oi ine prmciwes, wnicn govern reflection, refraction, and other courses of light, have, in , com paratively recent years made a possibility the ' great improve ments of the microscope the tele phone, the camera and other ap paratus in which light plays a leading part. y T riioyo-PLAYs.
