Welcome Robin coldn't get that stranger off his mind. He hadn't in- tended to go back to thac window in Farmer Brown's house, but he couldn't | keep away from there. No sooner had | he picked up a few worms than he| flew stralght over to that window to see if the stranger was still there. As he approached the window he discovered the stranger also approaching it from the inside. Apparently he had come (il il z *TM FIGHTING THAT STRANGER,” | REPLIED WELCOME. back to see if Welcome Robin was around. Welcome flew at that pane of glass furiously. So did the stranger, They did their utmost to gec at each other through that glass. They beat against it with their wings, They pecked at it with their bills. Welcome could never hear the other hit the glass, because | he always hit it just when Welcome did. Mrs. Robin, returning to the nest | she was building, discovered Welcome apparently fighting nothing over the window sill of Farmer Brown's house. | “What are you doing?” she called | BY THORNTON W. BURGESS other paused at the same time. “I'm fighting that stranger,” replied Wel- com “What siranger?” I told you inside 's house,” reto; v T Farmer Br od Wei- come “You're crazy!” declared Mrs. Robin. | “You are crazy, Welcome Robin! I can look right into that window and there isn’t any scranger there.” “Youre crazy vourself!” retorted Welcome. “He is right inside here this minute.” “No such thing!” retorted Mrs. Robin. “I tell you, you are crazy! There isn't any stranger and there hasn't been any stranger.” “There is and there has been!” re- torted Welcome, and once more began to beat at the window. The stranger on the inside did the same thing. They kept it up until both were ex- hausted. Finally Welcome felt that he had to go off for a little rest. He flew over beside Mrs. Robin “Show me that stranger,” said Mrs. Robin. Welcome looked back at the window. The stranger had disappeared. “He isn’t_there now,” said he. “He hasn't been there,” declared Mrs. Robin, “You can see for yourself that from here we can look right into that window. There was no Robin inside while you were pecking and beating at that_window.” “There was, too!” retorted Welcome “Don’t you suppose I know! I was right there.” Now, of course you have guessed what had happened. Mrs. Robin was quite right. There was no stranger and there had been no stranger. Welcome Robin had been fighting his own reflection in the glass of that window. The light fell on that window in such a way that, from a certain position, Welcome could see his own reflection from a short. distance away, and he could see it when he was on the window sill. But from the place where Mrs. Robin was sitting there was no reflection. The light was nob right to make a reflec fon. So, of course, she didn't see any: thing, Do you wonder that she thought | that Welcome was crazy? She was sure | of it when presently Welcome once | more flew back to that window sill and | began to fight himself. - Yes, sir, she sharply. Wclgom paused for breath.

Each ton of the new ezne will give 7.2 pounds more of sugar than the cane previously planted. Interest in sugar cane cultivation has lagged for several years and now it is expected that the activities of .the flelds will be revived, “THAT HAUE Ao FAMILY ~TEeS \WTH BUSINESS! s ENOUGH MEAT AE-HaLWITA, UTT, THE INVITATIONS C GOT 1O DINE WITH AMBASSADOR FROM FOLA .
