BY THORNTON W. BURGESS sight,” but it seemed to Danny that there wasn't an hour of the day that one of those big Hawks wasn't on watch. As a matter of fact one or the other was watching most of the time. They took twrns sitting on their pre- clous eggs. While one hunted the other Redshoulder wgs very He was quite ready and willing to do his share. Mrs. Red- shoulder did more sitting than he did, but whenever she wanted to -stretch her wings and do a little hunting he was ready to take her place. Whatever happened those eggs must not be al- lowed to get chilled. Danny Meadow Mouse heard Peeper and Hyla when he started the chorus over in the Smiling Pool. Day by day more of Peeper's relatives took part until there was a mighty chorus of sweet singers and it seemed as if the Smiling Pool must be filled with Hylas. At last Danny heard the thrill of Stickytoes the Tree Toad, who isn't a Toad at- all but a Frog. After that Danny often stopped to listen ‘“‘What are ycu llswnlng to?" Nanny asked “To the chorus in the Smiling Pool,” replied Danny. “Isn’t it grand!™ “Huh!" replied Nanny in her funny squeaky voice. “Huh! I should think you could find something better to do than to listen to that noise. You couldn’t help hearing it if you wanted for Danny merely ned and made no reply. More and more often Nanny caught him listening. It annoyed her. She coudn't see any sense in it, and didn't hesitate to say so.. Then one morning as he sat listening Danny heard another voice in that chorus. He gave a hop, skip and jump of joy. “He's awake!” he cried. #*Who is awake?” demanded Nanny. “Croaker the Green Frog,” replied Deanny. “That mesns that pretty soon now all the Frogs will be out.” “What of it?” demanded Nanny crossly. “What of it?" repeated Danny. “Why it means easier times for us. Those Hawks are going to spend a lot of time looking for Frogs instead of all their time watching for us. "That is what of it!

You're not going to let a girl beat you like that, are you?” Duykoe flushed up. took his card, thrust it into his pocket und sat biting his lips until the dismissal bell released him. The records of work showed on his card were high, too high, for so neatly per- fect as to be taken as 100 per cent, they indicated that he needed to do work in advance of what he was doing. Yet Duke felt humiliated by that record. Jane had beaten him by one-Lalf of 1 per cent. “Is that so? Then you're not the highest this month? Well, if a son of mine can't beat any girl lhv! I'm ashamed of him. That's all I have to say.” Now the competition was on in dead earnest. - Duke worked with blind m-, tensity., He scrutinized every mark with anxious, greedy concern. “Shouldn’t I |get @ full eight on that? Half a per cent is too much to take off for a semi- colon, I think.” Nor was Jane behind in maintaining her rights, Sides were formed in class. Sides were formed in the town. Soon the struggle between two splendid children took on the na- ture of a feud. At the close of the term bets were laid on the winner. The event was to be settled by an examination, By now the teacher and the school head understood the mischief that had been born of an injudicious word and wished from the depths of their torn spirits that such a word as “win” or “beat” had. never been uttcrcd The atmosphere of the school s the feeMng between the two slde& bitt whet: the final test was given.
