CHAPTER V.
An Invitation.
cadowlark was a great ad-
Bobby Bobolink. Much as
to ing himself, he oflen
silent when Bobby's joy-
ic tinkiea over me grass-
5
'I'm afraid it will be difficult," he
said
tops in Farmer Green's meadow. And
as Mr. Meadowlark as listening to
on of Bobby's best songs one day
fin idea popped suddenly into his
head.. He liked this notion so well
that ' ll, flew straight across the
meadow to a thicket on the edge of
the- woods. And there in the under
growth he found Buddy Brown
Thrasher, who was exactly the per
son he was looking for.
''I've come to tell you about an
idea of mine. Mr. Meadowlark an
nounced. "It's about Bobby Bobo
link. You know he has come back
to spend the sununcr here in Fleas-
ant Valley. It seems to me he's in
better voicr than ever. And now
that he is quite grown up you know
he has a -wife--it seems to me that
we couldn't do better than invite him
to join the Pleasant Valtey Singing
society."
Mr. Meadowlark had explained all
this in a most eager manner. And
he couldn't help being a bit disap
pointed over the way Buddy Brown
Thrasher received it, He did not
seem at all excited. To tell the
truth, he was? a suspicious chap. He
never fell in quickly -with a new
plan, no matter what it might be.
And more than once he had made
matters somewhat difficult for the
Pleasant Valley Singing society. He
was hard to please. Being a very
brilliant singer himself, he -was never
v,hat you might call keen to take a
new member.
When Mr. Meadowlark had told
him about his idea Buddy Brown
Thrasher gave a sharp -whistle,
"Wheeu!" That was the only re
mark he made.
; "What's the matter?" Mr. Mead
owlark inquired. "Don't you like
iny scheme?"
"Oh! It's worth looking into, no
doubt," Buddy told him. "But I
can't say offhand whether it's a good
one or not. . . . Of course
Bobby. Bobolink -would have to pass
the test before we take him into
the singing society."
"If that's all that's troubling you,
cheer up!" Mr. Meadowlark cr;ed.
'For Bobby Bobolink can pass the
singing test as easily as flying."
"I hope so," Buddy Brown
Thrasher retorted. "I promise you
that I'll be present when Bobby
sings before the society. And if his
singing isn't what it ought to be.
you can depend on mc to know it."
Well, Mr. Meadowlark couldn't
object to that. So he told Buddy
Brown Thrasher that his promise
was fair enough. And then Mr.
Meadowlark hurried away to call on
other members of the Pleasant Val
ley Singing society and tell them
about his plan.
After he had seen and talked with
everyone, Mr. Meadowlark took it
upon himself to. go back to the
meadow, where he found Bobby
Bobolink still singing merrily. And
for once Mr. Meadowlark couldn't
wait for him to finish. For there
was no knowing when Bobby would
stop.
"You're invited," said Mr. Mead-
owlark, "to sing before the Pleasant
Valley Singing society. And if yon '
can pass the test you'll become a ;
member."
Bobby Bobolink was somewhat i
doubtful as he listened to Mr. Mead- j
Owlark's speech. j
"I'm afraid it will be difficult," he
said. '
"Oh. no!" Mr. Meadowlark as
sured him. "You can pass the test
easily enough."
. But Bobby Bobolink told him that
that wasn't what he meant.
. "I'm afraid," he explained,1 "my
wife may not-consent 1"

VAMPING OF ANNABEL LEE.
(At To mitht hue wrltun It. If ba'd Bid ths morns In mind.)
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a lady lived -whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee.
And that lady lived Vith no other thought
Than to vamp and be vamped by me.
I had a wife and a couple of kids,
And a husband, of course, had she;
But what were these trifling marital tics , ,
To tne or to Annabel Lee?
'The neighbors talked, and her husband raged,
But nothing at all cared we.
And this was the reason, that long ago,
In that kingdom by the sea,
I wasn't permitted to run away
With the beautiful Annabel Lee;
Because her furious husband came
And bore her away from me
And locked her up in her kitchenette ,
While he sought a divorce decree.
Now the loveliest lamps of the soulfulest vamps
Full often are.cast on me, ' ,
But never (as yet) have they made me forget
The beautiful Annabel Lee.
My pulse is a-throb as I sit here and sob.
But her hard-fisted husband is still on the job
In her kitchenette there by the sea t '
In her jail by the sounding sea!

Of Superstitions

Company on Monday.
If ynu have company on Monday
you will have company every day
during the - .week. As perhaps you
know, for this superstition is gener
al throughout the L'nitcd "States. It
arises from that impulse in man, as
old as the race itself, to "seek for a
sign at the beginning: of any new
enterprise or the beginning of a new
epoch or specified division of time, of
"pierce the veil through which we
may not see." The savage seeks for
a sign from his medicine man be
fore setting out on the warpath, and
for this, when the Grecian licet lay
becalmed at Aulis ready to sail for
the plains of Troy, did Iphigenia see
around her the "stern black-beard:d
I'HOTOri.AY9.
s
Today and
Tomorrow
V
kings, waiting to see her die." And
tke Roman augurs sought not only
for a sign "when the eagles marched
to Rimini." but at stated intervals
forecast the welfare of the Roman
people.
A new enterprise, a new week,
nuist have a sign at its commence
ment. Though Sunday is really the
first day of the week in practice
we' regard Monday as the week's
beginning and something innate ia
ns makes us regard a happening at
the beginning of anything as prog
nostic. If you have company on
Monday it is "a sign' that you will
have company every day of th?
week.
In some sections of the'eountry
people say that if you have com
pany on Sunday not Monday you
will have, company the rest of the
week. These people might be called
the "strict constructionists."

Where It Started
The Buggy.
The name huggy. applied to a
small vehicle without a top, drawn
hv one horse, is of Hindu origin.
The Hindu name for such a carriage
(usuallv drawn by an ox in that
country), is "baRhi;" shortly after
the British occupation of India, the
officers adopted the name, altered
in pronunciation to "buggy," to their
light traps. From here -the name
spread to the continent and to
America.
