gathered around her. And some of
the more curious and ill-bred point

lliem.
'What's that?" they asked Mr.
Ladybug. , ' '
Strange to gay, she seemed plcas

''It's a dinner bell." the explained.
They guzed at it in wonder, until
at last somebody spoke tip and de

"What alarm?" chimed a chorus of
voices, high and low.
Mrs. Ladybug smiled an odd sort
of smile as she answered. "The fire
alarm, of course! Everybody's al
ways talking fire to me. It makes
me frightfully uneasy. There's so
little one can do alone in case of
fire, But now " she added "now
when anyone says' 'Kfrel' I'm go
ing to ring- this bell with all my
might."
Well, people didn't know what to
say then. Later, 'however, they
gathered about in "groups and talk
ed a good deal about Mrs. Ladybug
(and her dinner bell.
Miss Moth said that she feared
Mrs. Ladybug would disturb her
rest if she rang the bell in the day
time, when Miss Moth was accus
tomed to sleep. Buster Bumblebee
hoped 'Mrs. Ladybug wouldn't ring
it at night, because he, Jiad , short
enough night's sleep as it .was. And
Freddie ' Firefly ''exclaimed that it j

There was only" one thing that

mentioned fire to her. Nobody had

burning. It seemed , as if none of
her neighbors wanted her to sound
a fire alarm. And if there was any
thing that would have given her joy,
it would have been to seize the han
' die of her bell and ring it madly.
There were even some people
that complained of the tinkle it
made anion g the apple trees. "
Peppery Polly Bumblebee' laugh

"You've brought this trouble upon"
