Bedtime Stories

some time, eomewhere. a (rare mletake.
—Old Mother Nature.
S™, had been admiring Winsome
Bluebird. Mr. and Mrs. Winsome
were raising their third family In the
house they called their own on the
edge of the Old Orchard. "He is the
loveliest thing!” cried Sue as Win
some sat on a post. “He looks as if
his coat might have been made from
a bit of the sky at its bluest. And
his voice is so soft and sort of wist
ful. I love him.”
“I love him, too,” said her cousin.
Farmer Brown’s Boy. “I guess most
folks love him. However, I know one
couple who don’t love him. They
don’t love him even a little bit.”
‘Who are they?” Sue asked.
Farmer Brown’s Boy pointed to a
house on another tree not far from
the tree occupied by the Bluebirds.
"That house oyer there was the first
one Winsome and Mrs. Winsome
looked at when they arrived in the
Spring,” said he. “I guess Winsome
like it a lot, for he kept going back
to it and sitting on the perch and
looking into it even after Mrs. Win
some had decided on the house they
now occupy.
"When Skimmer and Mrs. Skimmer
arrived”
“Who are Mr. and Mrs. Skimmer?”
demanded Sue.
"The White-breasted 8wallows. A
lot of folks sail them Tree Swallows,
tor when they can’t End bird houses
they neet in holes in trees and are
the only Swallows who do build in
trees, excepting now and then the
Rough-winged Swallows," explained
Farmer Brown's Boy. "Well, as I was
saying, when the Skimmers arrived
they chose that house right away and
started to build in it. Winsome Blue
bird didn't like it. He made several
attempts to drive them away, but
they were two to one and built their
nast and Mrs. Skimmer laid her eggs.
I thought the trouble was all over.
It wasn’t. One morning when Skim
mer was away hunting his breakfast
Z mm Winsome Bluebird fly over to
the Skimmers’ house and poke his
head in through the entrance.
“A light started right away. Win
some wasn’t a bit winsome then. He
was trying to pull Mrs. Skimmer out.
At last he did manage to get her out.
Alone she was no match lor him.
I was going over to drive him away,
then changed my mind and decided
to watch and find out what she would
do. Winsome Bluebird stayed right
there, some of the time in the door
way and some of the time on that
little perch in front. Mrs. Skimmer
didn't havs a chance to get back In
side.
4
“She began flying In a email circle
overhead and screaming. It was dif
ferent from any cry I had heard from
a Swallow. Round and round she
went, screaming as loud as she could.
In a few minutes Skimmer came
hurrying back to find out what the
trouble was, and right away he at
tacked Winsome. Mrs. Skimmer kept
on circling and screaming. Then
Swallows began to arrive from all
directions, until there were more than
a dozen. I didn’t know until then
that there were that many Swallows
nesting anywhere near here."
“What did they do?" Sue Mated
I
w
to know.
"Plenty,” replied Parmer Brown’s
Boy. "Yes, sir, they did plenty. They
have very small bills, but they are
long enough lor pulling out leathers.
Feathers began to fly and they were
blue. It didn’t take Winsome Blue
bird more than hall a minute to de
cide that he had made a mistake, a
grave mistake, in meddling with the
Skimmers and their home. He lelt.
He lelt in a hurry. Those Swallows
drove him clear out ol the Old
Orchard. They flew around lor
awhile to make sure that he wasn't
coming back right away, then, ena
* i
by one, left to return to their homes,
until only Skimmer and Mrs. Skim
mer remained, she Inside on her
precious eggs and he on the perch
beside the doorway. Later In the day
Winsome Bluebird came sneaking
back home and he took care not to
go near the house of the Skimmers
again while they were using It.”
"I suppose,” said Sammy, who had
been listening, “that that was what
you would call co-operation. I didn't
think birds knew that much.”
“You'd be surprised," replied
Parmer Brown’s Boy.

TARZAN THE MAGNIFICENT— —By EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
I --1 r——— • ■ ■ ■ __ _
Tarzan awoke suddenly and found himself en
circled by spears. He looked up into those fierce,
unfriendly faces, but he did not speak. He saw
that he was outnumbered, and a captive. Under
the circumstances nothing he could say would
serve any purpose.
^ A A ■ ^ its as ■ ^ _
His captors were taken aback by his silence and
composure. They had expected him to show tear
and excitement. But the ape man merely ap
praised them through steady, gray eyes. "Well.
Kaji,” Lord said at last, "we've got you. What
have you got to say?”
■'Nothin*,” said Tarzan calmly; “but what makes
you think I’m a Kaji?” "For the same reason that
you know we are Zuli.’’ Lord answered; *'be
rause there are no other people in these mountains.”
He turned to his fellows. “Take his weapons and
lie his hands.”
[UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE Xnt_
As darkness descended, they led Tarran down the
other side of the divide. "Woora will be pleased
with us,-’ Lord grinned to his companions. "What
do you think Woora will do with him?" another
asked. Lord chuckled ominously. "There is only
one end for the Kaji!”
