He was ashamed fo g: home, yet he had for being ashamed. 1In REDDY WAS A SORRY SIGHT WHEN HE SNEAKED OFF THROUGH THE BUSHES AWAY FROM THAT NEST. trying to get those young Marsh Hawks he had done nothing wrong. It was no more wrong for him to try to get them than it was for Whitetail to try to catch 8 Mouse to feed them. And there was | nothing to be ashamed of in the fact | that he had been no match for those two great birds. One alone would have | been too much for him, and it was two to_one. Probably it was his pride that made him ashamed. He hadn't been as smart 2s he had thought he was. He felt| that he should have been smart enough | By Thornton W.

Finally he crawled under an overhang- ing rock where he couldn't be seen and the Whitetalls flew back to their preclous family. What to do now? Reddy was ashamed to be seen by any one, but most of all by Mrs. Reddy. What would she think of him? What would she say? “I just can't have her see me look- ing like this,” he muttered as he licked his wounds. “I just can’t do it.” Yet he knew that he must go home sooner or later for he, too, had a family to be fed, and it wouldn't do to leave Mrs. Reddy to do all the hunting. She would be wondering why he didn’t re- turn and worrying for fear something. had happened, and she with a big family to feed and watch over. At last when he had improved his appearance somewhat, although he was still a sorry sight, he crept out and started slowly toward home. He was stiff and lame and sore. It was all he could do to keep from whimpering. He heard Mrs. Reddy bark. That was meant for him. He didn't answer. Thet was beceuse he was ashamed. How could he go home looking as he did and taking nothing for those hungry youngsters? Just then he had a bit of luck. A Mouse_darted out from under an old log. Reddy forgot that he was lame, stiff and sore. In a flash he had pounced on' that Mouse. Again he heard the bark of Mrs. Reddy. This time he answered. She would know now that he was on his way home, so there was nothing to do but keep on. But with every step he felt more ashamed. So at last he limped out of the bushes that surrounded his home. Mrs. Reddy was_sitting on the doorstep while six woolly, little, bright-eyed foxes rolled and tumbled about her. For just an THE EVENING Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. When baby is learning to walk, his parents, of necessity, play a passive role. If he wants to siruggle up a dozen times a day and stand with legs far apart, woaving about uncertainly, He | little they can do will discourage him. 1f he is slow to pursue this new activ- ity—mothers are seldom entirely satis- fled, baby always being 100 active or too inactive to sult them—they are equally helpless. Nature goes its own pace. Mrs. D. D. 8. is annoyed by her baby's precocious interest in this 'activity. Baby isn't eight months old,, yet she stands in her play-pen and seems to want to walk. She queries: “Shall we encourage this tendency or will baby be bow-leggzd if she walks too early? She is quite heavy, weighing nearly 22 pounds, but very active. I think this is because she has never worn more than a shirt, diaper, and bootees since she was born. “She seems to stand on the inner side of her foot. Is this natural? How shall I buy her shoes, shall I take her along and have them fitted, or measure Her foot and go by that? Shall I buy them larger than her foot, or just the right size and renew them oftener? Are laced shoes better than buttoned ones, or does it matter? “I give her two teaspoons of cod liver ofl; as she has no teeth, shall I increase this amount? She eats lots of spinach and carrots; in fact, anything I offer her. I give her three teaspoons of orange juice. three times daily. Is this too much?” The rickety baby, whose bones are so sofi, that early standing might bow | them, is seldom s> eager to stand as | this baby. There may be some lengthy interval between this experimental | standing and actual walking. | T should let the baby pull herself to’ | her feet and when she has stood for a few ‘moments, seat her again gently. This is about the only discouragement you can offer. She should be having the opportunity to both crawl and stand up, and she gets this during the Tours she is in her play-pen. |~ When she is standing, put on a shoe. | 'This will do away with the awkward | way of standing.

Not only do birds return and flowers bloom again in the first baimy Spring weather but the insect life, no less, wakes out of its Winter slumber. There are few people who are indifferent to insects. A crushing majority abhors them, Wing, sting and feeler. But there is a small group of persons to Whom in- sects are almost the whole of the world of nature.
