?-THE TALE OF
:-CHIRPY
CRICKET
BY ARTHUR 5C0TT BAILEY
CHAPTER VI.
A Plan Goes Wrong.
Chirpy Cricket never fiddled faster
than he did that night. Somehow
he l-.ad a notion that the faster he
fiddled the more quickly the night
would pass. For Freddie Firefly
had promised to loan Chirpy his
light, because Chirpy needed it when
he saw Miss Christabel Cricket to
her home beyond the barnyard fence.
Chirpy was going to see her safely
to her door when the night's k con
cert was ended. And he could
hardly wait until the time came when
he would flash that wonderful light
in the eyes of all his friends.
"I hope -you won't go dancing
across the meadow tonignt, ne re
marked anxiously to Freddie Fire
fly. "You might wander into this
swamp and get lost.
''Oh, there's no danger of that!"
Freddie assured him.
"If you stumbled into the wet
rm staa youve come! ururpjf
greeted him.
swamp you might put your light
out," Chirpy Cricket warned him.
But Freddie Firefly, laughed and
told him not to worry.
"I always enjoy at least one dance
in the meadow each night," he ex
plained.' "They're expecting me
over there now. And I don't want
to disappoint them." ... .
"No!" Chirpy answered. And
neither do you warn 10 uiaaayuun.
me. So please don't faij to be on
hand when the music's finished."
After telling Chirpy that he
wouldn't fail him, rreaaie rireny
flitted away. But in spite of what
he had said Chirpy Cricket couldn't
help feeling nervous and uneasy.
And he fiddled so fast that the other
fiddlers kept complaining. . They
said he wasn't playing in time.
Chirpy Cricket was too well-mannered
to contradict them. But he
had his own opinion, which he kept
to nmiseir. ne ir.uugm iu wm
of time. "Good-

breath. "JL.near heard such slow
fiddling in all ray niei
There was another way, too, in
which Chirpy annoyed the others. He
kept asking them first one and then
another what time it was. , And
of course nobody wants to stop and
look at his watch when he is fiddling.
At last one of h: cousins told him,
in answer to his question, that it was
time to stop talking and pay atten
tion to the music.
After that Chirpy Cricket tried to
be patient. But it was hard not to
: be restless. And he kept leaping into
the air, hoping to get a glimpse of
Freddie Firefly's twinkling light. For
never return from the meadow.
At last the fiddlers stopped play
ing, one after another; for the night
was going fast. The Cricket family
always liked to be home before day
light. Chirpy had almost given up hope
of seeing Freddie Firefly. But to
his great delight Freddie came skip
ping up-just as Chirpy stood before
Miss Christabel Cricket, whom he
expected to see to her home.
"T. 'm'.a .rttn!" Pliirnv
greeted him. "I'll take your light
now. Ana i n return it to you to
morrow night."
"Oh! That would be too much
trouble for you," Freddie Firefly
said. "I'll go right along with you
and your young , lady. . And after
I've lighted her home I'll do the
same thing for you.-
"Oh! That would, be too much
trouble for you," Chirpy Cricket ob
jected. "Let me take the light,
please!" He certainly didn't want
Freddie Firefly k tagging along with
Miss .Christabel Cricket and himself.
Or course, Freddie Firefly couldn't
give Chirpy his light It was just
as much a part of him as his head.
And since Chirpy Cricket began to

that the light had been promised
him, in the end Freddie had to ex
plain everything.
It was a great diappointment to
Chirpy Cricket. He had expected
to have wonderful fun, flashing
Freddie Firefly's light.
But Miss Christabel Cricket did
not seem to mind in the least.
"You oughtn't to blame Freddie
Firefly for not loaning his light."

The Other Sex.
. When a married woman allows
herself to think that a married man,
not her husband, is interested in her,
she makes a big mistake from all
angles.
First of all, it makes her self-con
scious, and that spots her at once to
the observer whether she is aware of
it or not, and she won't act natural,
for she can t.

Parents' Problems

Some children learn value of
money when given a regular allow

definite expenses, even if these are
nothing more than materials for
play. Other children learn the les
son best by earning regularly some
money, if only a little. Children who
receive a penny when they ask for
it or otherwise have money irregu

understand its value.
