He was quite excusable. He had worked hard and had filled two little houses with sticks and other material, such as ‘Wrens like for the foundation of a nest. Now Jenny had informed him that his work was all for nothing. She had de- cided that they wouldn't use either of those houses. Do you wonder that Mr. ‘Wren had lost patience? Jenny didn't seem to mind. She flew over to Farmer Brown’s house and when she didn’t come back after some time “THIS THING IS ALREADY FULL OF STICKS,” SAID SHE. Mr. Wren went to look for her. “Have mu found another house. oger here?” demanded. “Not exactly a house,” replied Jenny, “but a place for a nest.” Mr. Wren looked around. “I don'tsee any place for a nest,” said he. “You come with me,” said Jenny. “I do love the unusual, and this year our home will be one of.the most unusual ones we have ever had. You e with sy Mr. Wren immediately followed. He had learned through long experience that when Jenny has made up her mind T AND WHO BY THORNTON W. BURGESS to something he may as well give in first as last. He knows she will have her way. So now he followed Jenny. She flew to the shed back of Farmer Brown’s house. Hanging from a nall just inside the shed was a bag and this bag was nearly, but not quite, filled with clothespins. There was a little opening, into which Jenny promptly popped. ‘Then she popped out again. “This is already full of sticks,” she. “They are big sticks, but all have to do is to add a few cloths tch the thedm, 50 the clothespin bag was very handy. “What do you think of this?” de- manded Jenny. “Not much,” replied Mr. Wren. “Whoever heard of building a nest in such a place as that? And there, over in the Old Orchard, are two perfectly good houses, made specially for us, to Judge by the size of the doorways. You must be joking when you say we are going to build our nest here.” “Tut, tut, tut, tut,” scolded Jenny. “This is the place I want and this is the place I'll have. What are you going to_do' about it?” ‘This was too much for Mr. Wren. What could he do about it? He knew Jenny well enough to know that when her mind was set on a thing nothing could change it. So Mr. Wren sighed. “If you want it you will have it,” I suppose,” said he. “But that doesn’t change my opinion of it. I don't know what that thing is, but it is no place for a mest.” “That’s your opinion,” retorted Jenny. “Now just forget it and get busy. We must make up for lost time.” “I_haven't lost any time,” grumbled . Wren, thinking of how hard he had to fill the two little houses. “Well, you're losing time now,” re- torted Jenny, and flew down to pick up a little stick and carry it back into that clothespin bag. She took two or three sticks in while Mr. Wren looked on. Then, half-heart- he flew down and picl he ..‘3.‘3.&"‘5‘& joy again W joy nnfinndwnrudmd ‘worked and sang as P E edly, he quite agreed with Jenny that that clothespin bag was the place of all laces for a Wren's nest.
