CHAPTER. XXII.
Queer Mr. Pine Finch.
Perhaps the winter was longer
than usual; or perhaps Dickie Deer
Mouse ate too freely of his hidden
itore of good things. At any rate,
Dickie's hoard slowly grew smaller
and smaller. And long before the
day came when he bolted the last
seed that remained in the hollow
tcnce-rail he had begun to wonder
where he should find more food.
While he had been sleeping the
birds that stayed in I'leasant, al
ley during the wiiile1-' had been

feasting greedily upon the very' kind
of fare that Dickie Deer Mouse
needed. Jasper Jay and his noisy
cronies had , taken good care that
there shouldn't be a beechnut . left.
And when they had eaten the last
tweet nut they turned to such dried
berries as still clung to the withered
6tocks on which ' they had grown.
No longer' could Dickie Deer
Mouse spend : so much time asleep
iti his cozy chamber. Instead, be
had to wander far through the
woods at night, thankful to pick up
a bit here and there as best he
might.
On those crisp, cold nights he had
to scamper fast in order to keep
warm. And often, when dawn
came, be crept home still hungry.
At last Dickie's night runs lapped
well over into the day. For his
search for food became more and
more disappointing. And afterward
he often wondered what would have
liappcncd to him if he hadn't met
Mr. Pine Finch early one morning.
Mr. Pine Finch was an odd fel
low. He had a peculiar way of
talking as if he spoke through his
nose. Though Uickie Deer Mouse i
had seen him before, he had paid J
scant attention to Mr. Pme finch.
But when he caught sight of him
on a certain cniny morning mcic
were so few birds stirring that I
Dickie stopped short and watched i
Mr. Pine Finch, who was so busy
in a tree-top that he didn't know any
body else was near him. '
He was talking to himself. And :
as nearly as Dickie Deer Mouse
could tell, he was remarking
through his nose that he was hav
ing a pood breakfast.
That news made Dickie Deer
Mouse prirk tip his big ears. . A
good breakfast was something that
j be had not enjoyed for a long, long
j time.
1 At first Dickie couldnt quite see
! what Mr. Pine Finch was about. It
' was he, beyond a doubt. There could
be no more mistaking his odd voice
than his plump, black-streaked back,
with its splashes of yellow at the
base, of his tail, and his yellow:edged
wings. Dickie had a good view of
Mr. Pine Finch's back, because its
owner hung upside down trom . tne
tips of the branches of the tree
where Dickie spied him. i
To Dickie Deer Mouse the sight,
at first, was "somewhat of a puzzle.
He stood quite still, gazing upward
in wonder. And then all at once he
discovered what Mr. Pine Finch was
doing. Something struck Dickie
Deer Mouse lightly on his back
something that made him jump.
He looked all around to see what
had hit him. And there, on the snow
beside him, lay a bud off the tree
above him.
Then Dickie Deer Mouse under
stood what Mr. Fine finch was

about. He was eating the buds that
clung to the tips of the branches.
Dickie Deer Mouse quickly ate
that bud; and then he waited, watch
ing ' eagerly every move that Mr.
Pine Finch made.

I cannot sing: the old, old songs,
I haven't heard 'em sung for ages
The tuneful tales of maidens' wrongs
And lovely birds in gilded cages.
Yet in the jazz's brassy strain
(Though words and music may be rotten)
I catch some old familiar strain
And know, though gone, they're not forgotten.
Those well-known airs come back to me
Reviving tender recollections;
' Both Daisy Bell and Sweet Marie
I hear quite frequently in sections.
From phonographs around the town.
As through the highways I have drifted,
Pve heard a hint of Nancy Brown
A bar or two that some one's lifted.
A hundred Swanee Rivers roam
Through tunes composed in Nineteen-Tacnty; .
I'm sure the Old Kentucky Home
Is earning royalties in plenty;
Because it still delights the ears
Of many music-show first nighters,
In fragments, borrowed by the shears
Of half a dozen different writers.
I'm glad the songs that filled my breast,
Wh en I was young and tuneful hearted,
Have not been wholly laid to rest
Now that my youth has long departed.
I still remember how they ran
And even now I fondly love them,
And listen to them all I can
Though all I hear is pieces of them!

Butr.b'ec.ji? and News.
All over, the United States and
Canada it is a prevailing superstition
that a bumblebee flying into the
house is a sign of news. In some lo
calities it is said that if the bee
flies in in the morning the news will
j he good; if in the afternoon, bad;
while others say that it is a bee

time and whether flying high or low.
brings v,ood news. It is (rcittrally
believed, also, that ;t is pood luck
to have a bee fly into the house but
bad luck to have one die there. -
Among the Greeks and Romans
the bee was especially sacred to
Diana, and a bee appeared on the
statue of Artemis at Ephesus. The
Pomans identified their Diana with
the. Greek Artemis and Ceres, the
mother of Proserpine, which;, latter
goddess 'is considered by- learned
authorities to have been the same
goddess as Diana. " The bee being
thus connectci with' Ceres and her
daughter its connection m supersti
tious lore with the idea of news is
apparent, for Ceres, the Greek De
ircur, wandered all over the earth
seeking news of her daughter, Pros
erpine, and obtaining it at last from
Arethusa in Sicilv.
Logically the bee, her emblem,
should be the seeker and 'not the
harbinger, of news; but myths and
the superstitions, deduced therefrom
have nothing to do with logic. The
bee, symbol of Ceres and Proser
pine, suggests the idea of news and
a harbinger of news the bee has
been considered in popular supersti
tion from remote ages as it is to
day. Copyright, 121, by ThsMcClure News

And then if tilings seem blue and
the result not worth the effort, do

There are some persons today w ho

Black as the Color of Mourning.
This custom originated with Anne,
the wife of Charles VIII of France,
who, at the death of her husband,
surrounded her coat-of-arnis with
black and wore black iii token of her
widowhood, in direct opposition of
the usual custom, which was to wear
white as the symbol of mourning.
The royal fashion was adopted and
has ever since remained the conven
tional color.
