1 IJUM-f 7JT sleeps -time Tales fl. .) I)iiwil TALE OF CHIRPY RICKET BT ARTHUR .SCOTT BAILEY .A. CHAPTER VII. . Johnnie Green's Guest. There were enough night noises before Chirpy; Cricket came to live in the farmyard. What with Solo mon Owls hooting, his cousin Simon Screecher'sj quavering call, and the musical Frog's 'family's concerts n Cedar Swamp, it was a wonder that Johnnie Green ever managed to fall asleep. The Katydids alone were almost enough to drive anybody frantic if he let himself listen to them with their everlasting "try of Katy did, Katy did; she did, she did. Johnnie Green himself said . he wished the Crickets had gone some- Magba h wanted to punish him.' where else to spend the summer. At least, . he thought they might play some, other tune besides cr-rr-il cr-r-r-i! cr-r-r-il over and over again. If they would only fiddle "Yankee Doodle" now and then he said - he wouldn't mind lying awake; a while to listen to it. ;, ' Perhaps Chirpy Cricket heard what Johnnie Green said.' Maybe he wanted to punish him. , Anyhow, he crept into the farmhouse one eve ' Jiingr and found his way into Johnnie Green's chamber, where he hid in a gaping crack behind the baseboard. And that very night, as soon as Johnnie Greert put out his light and jumped into bed, Chirpy Cricket be gan to fiddle for him." vv Johnnie had been sleepy. , But the moment Chirpy Cricket began fiddling right fhere in his room he became wide awake. He had had no idea how loudly one of the Cricket family could play his cr-r-r-il cp-r-r-if cr-r-r-i! indoors. The high, shrill sound was piercing. It rang in Johnnie's ears and drowned the tnufflcd concert bf the fields and Swamp which the light breeds bore through the window.- " V For a few minutes ' Johnnie' lay still. And then he sat upin bed. "Til. have to get up and find that fellow," he said. "If don't, he'll keep me awake." J.K The momenttie stirred, the fiddling stopped short, i, Johnnie was glad of that. And once more he laid his head upon his pillow. " But. in a few moments; that, crr-r-i! cr-r-r-il ! rang; out again, ; v ; . . Then Johnnie Green tried several remedies. He shook the bed. He knocked over a chair. He; caught up, a shoe and threw it toward a cor ner of the room, whence the sound seemed to come.' And then he threw the other shoe. V Every time Johpnie Green made a noise Chirpy Cricket stopped fid- dling. And if Johnnie had had enough shoes ho doubt he could have kept Chirpy from making any more music that night. But, of course, Johnnie couldn't have slept any, if he had done that. Besides, he, would have kept the whole family awake, too. He thought of tht after he had hurled the second shoe.. J, For his father called up the stairs and asked Mm what was the matter. "There's an old Cricket .- in my room!" Johnnie explained. "He's keeping me awake."'i"r - "I should think you were keeping him awake," said Farmer Green. "Get up and look for him if you must. . i . But don't let him bite youl" , - "You wouldn't joke ' if this old Cricket was in your room," Johnnie grumbled. He did not grumble often. .. But he had had a long, hard day, swim J Ming in the 1 mill-pond and climbing apple trees. , ,And he wanted to go to sleep. Johnnie Green thought it was -no time -.to crack jokes. . . !
