CHAPTER II.
At the Old Stone Wall .
Little Mr. Chippy i suddenly set
tip a great twitter. Anybody could
sre that lie was frightened. And one
of Jolly Rohm s sons, perched in an
apple tree near the stone wall where
Mr. Cli'ppy lived in a wild grape
vine, wondered what could be the
matter.
Presently, as he looked beneath
him, he saw a long, slim shape da) t
from a clink of the old wall,, and as
quickly disappear.
"Muhl" said voutiff Master Robin.
"Foolish people who build their
homes on walls must expect snakes
tor visitors." - And 'feeling quite
vise and crown up,, he turned on
Mr. Chippy, as if it really made no
ditiercnce to him it Mr. Chippy oiu
have a dangerous caller. "
Meanwhile other of the bird
neighbors began to echo Mr. Chip
py's warning notes. "And young
I.iaster Robin thought everybody
was silly to make such a fuss over
thc misfortunes of a humble person
like "Mr.- ( hippy.
"'If they don't look out they'll
srare all the angleworms back into
their holes," he grumbled a remark
. "That" fat Robin bog - he'll be
caufibtC she wailed.
which shows that he knew little
about the ways of the world. And
when 'Rusty Wren swerved near
him and called to him to look out
for Mr. Chippy's visitor that he was
''a bad one" young Master Robin
actually puffed himself up with
ag,.
"He seems to think I'm in danger
of falling out of this tree," he sneer
ed aloud. "He doesn't; know that I
can handle myself in a tree as well
as he can." As he spoke, Master
Robin all but tumbled off his perch.
But he caught himsjjf just in time,
then, looked around hastily to see if
anybody had noticed his awkward
ness. ; '
v AIJ this time poor "Mr. Chippy's
cries continued. There was really
nr racnn fnr tiic alarm. Fnr his
wife was away front' home, with
all their children. But Mr. Chippy
kept flying back and forth in a great
flutter. He: too called to young
Master Robin that he'd better go
home.
Still that knowing youngster paid
no heed to his elder's advice.
'."If snakes climb, trees I've never
seen them do it." he scoffed.
"Hi. there! Haven'J you seen"
Mr. Chippy started to say. But be
fore he could finish his question
Master Robin interrupted him rudely.
"Certainly I saw him," he cried.
"I saw him come out of the wall
and go in again."
"He'll get you if you don't go.
away!" Mr, Chippv shrieked.
"Let him try!" Master Robin
scoffed. He was sorry that Mr.
Chippy did not hear him. But that
distracted little person had already
hurried off to warn somebody else.
It, was no time at all before
Rusty Wren's wife gave a piercing
scream. . , .
"That fat Robin boy he 11 be
caught 1" she wailed. ' -
Now, if made Master Robm very
angry to be spoken of in such a way
as that, I , , ,
"Fat!" he burst out in a loud tone
as he stared in Mrs. Wren's direc
tion, "Who's fat?"
"You arcl" said a strange, grumpy
voice right behind ' him or so it
seemed to young Master Robin.

WH Y
Are London Policemen Called
"Bobbies?"
What we call ''slang"' is usually
nothing more than the efforts of the
uneducated, or those who are rapid
in their speech, to get their tongues
around the longer and proper names
tor the objects to, which they are re
ferring. As a general rule, slang
originates in the lower orders of so
ciety, though a number of terms
which were originally colloquialisms
have been adopted into the best
usage and are now used by writers
and speakers of distinction. Among
these might be mentioned pluck
(which was butchers slang for the
leart of an tx), "dun (derived from
the name of an expert collector of
debts); "-fan" (short for "fanatic"),
and the like.
The reference to London police
men as' bobbies, however, has its
origin in another source. This is an
abbreviation, not of a longer word,
but ot a name that ot bir Robert
Peel, who reorganized the fore'e dur
ing the latter part of the 19th cen
tury. It is for the same reason that
the word "peeler" is also applied to
the British policemen, while the
American "cop" is merely a shorten
ing ot copper, referring to the
buttons which formerly adorned their
uniforms.

Jewel, Flower. Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
The ruby and the diamond should
be worn today, the . former being
the talismanic stone, and fjie latter
the natal gem. The ruby is said to
kindle in the ' breast ot its wearer
the inextinguishable flame of ambi
tion, and to endow him with the
mental ability to attain success in h:s
chosen line. It also preserves the
health of its owner.
The diamond is said to be potent
in. enabling those who desire social
success to attain their ambition. In
fact, it is said to be able to lift
.
anyone born on an anniversary 01
this day from obscurity to a plac$
in the sun, no matter in what lines
he wishes to succeed.
Today's color is light blue, the hue
assigned to Venus by the ancients.
It is potent in bringing good luck

Hangman's Rope.
"If you can procure a piece of a
rope which has been used to hang a
man do not let it get out of your
pocket as it brings great luck." This
superstition has been universal ever
since the custom of hanging men first
became established and that is a I
very long time ago. - j
Like many other Superstitions pre
valent today it has its origin in the
custom of human sacrifice so popu
lar j.with our. barbarian ancestors" as
a means of propitiating their gods.

life of the human victim was' 'a part

I anything connected with it took on

rope was an easy transition for that
