OHNNY CHUCK was taunting the | grizzled old Chuck whom he | found occupying a_long-deserted house of his own. He was trying to get that grizsled old Chuck to come out and t.

I'll fool him. That house is mine. I dug it. I don't care if I did leave it & long time ago; it is mine just the same. Just let me catch him outside once; that is all I ask.” | Johnny wandered farther and farther, looking for something to eat, until some bushes quite hid from him the old house and the grizsled old Chuck. Johnny hadn’t given up. No, indeed! He fully intended to return when he had satis- fied his appetite. Gradually he worked around in a circle until at last the old house came in sight. The doorway was | empty. Johnny sat up and looked long | and carefully. "He had just made up his mind that that grizzled old Chuck had gone inside when he caught a movement among the bushes a little way from the doorstep. He fixed his eyes on this spot and presently made out the grizzled old Chuck. The latter was peering this way and that. “He is looking for me,” thought | Johnny. “Why doesn’t he sit up in good | Chuck fashion if he wants to see?” Johnny crouched flat and watched. He hoped that grizaled old Chuck would go farther from his doorway. Then there might be a chance to get between it and him. Presently a puzzled look crept over Johnny's face. There was something queer about the way that Chuck moved, and not once had he sat up. Johnny stole forward slowly and carefully. He could see more clearly now. “He is walking on three legs” mut- tered Johnny, “I wonder why. It must be that he has hurt one hind foot. Ha!" That exclamation under his breath was the result of a clear view he had for a moment. That grizzled old Chuck had but three legs! Yes, sir, he had but three legs! Of one hind leg there was| only a stump. No wonder he didn't sit up. No wonder he moved queerly. No | wonder he had refused to fight. No ‘wonder he kept close to his doorstep. All desire to fight left Johnny. He sat up and whistled. The other hastily retreated as best he could and once more established himself in the door- way with only his head out. Johnny moved over near. . “What is the matter with you?” he demanded. “Nothing,” replied the other gruffly. “Yes ere is,” retorted Johnny. “You've lost a leg. When did you lose 2" “The other day,” replied the grizsled old Chuck. “In a trap?” asked Johnny, ‘The other shook his head. “No,” said he. “I hope I have sense enough to keep out of traps. It was shot off.” (Copyright. 1933.) Pointed Paragraphs l | As a general principle, the last of the birds to arrive come here to nest; many of those now going through are mi- grants. This is the time of year to see the great blue heron. The world over the return of the herons means the coming of Spring, and with them comes all of that sweet sensation in us earthbound humans, of being born again, of an ache in the bones and a lift in the heart and a freshening of hopes. In Central Eurcpe they speak less of the herons in Spring than of the storks' returning. If you say that there is going to be a return of the stork, quite anof meaning is conveyed! We think of storks as almost mythical birds, like the phoenix. But storks are real enough, real pests, indeed, when they build their foul nests over your door- steps. And, after all, they are only 8 species of heron, not half as beautiful as ours. ‘The great blue heron, which I believe to be our commonest species of the t family, is usually seen most ngund.lmly in April, though it is still here as late as the end of May in some numbers, In fact, the crack ornitholo- gists state that it has been seen every month in the year. So some few may Winter here. The great bulk of blue herons are pure migrants; not a single example of the greenish-blue eggs has ever n found in the District. ‘The great blue heron is enough, being at times four and a half feet in length, not counting the legs as long as a tall man’s, but he s not very blue. The hue is more slaty, the thighs and wing edges are chestnut and the peculiar head, on its snaky neck, is crowned with a white crest, handsomely bordered with black. From the breast depend long plumes of pearly gray that fall gracefully over the wings, except in the Autumn molt. More color is added by the strong yellow bill and the black legs. Enme is nothing more magical than that moment, when, of a sweet green, trilling Spring dusk, you steal to the edge of the marsh or the river, brim- ming with its high, living, swirling waters, where the tender shoofs of sedge and bullrush and aspire, and you startle | a big heron from his wading. Not that | he ever allows you to get near him, as thuel gme green heron and the bittern will do. Distance lends enchantment to our big blue boy. His defects of kmock- kneed, long-leggedness and tatterde- malion plumage are lost in the dis- tance and all that you see is the firm- ful power of his leisurely flight; all that you hear is the distant thunder of pinions and his wild, metallic ery.

Sydney, as we might say, is “on the other side of the world,” and we have heard little about it before our visit, but when we compare its size with other cities we are impressed. Sydney is larger than Cleveland and is almost twice the size of San Fran- cisco.

The greens may be of many kinds. ‘There are, in fact, any number pof wild greens which are eatable but which are little known. The Bureau of Plant Industry has recently prepared some material in regard to these greens which are often considered “common called these “‘vegetable foods to be had at Nature's free lunch counter.” Of course, you know the humble dandelion, which has' furnished us for 80 many years our first taste of Spring. Perhaps you have even dug the youn roots from the lawn' (for a price), thus satisfying the annual favorite craving for them and at the same time beauti- fying the lawn.

In six weeks they have molted twice, staying the same color, and at this time are fully grown. The pretty green color now becomes dull, and at last the walk- ing stick is dressed in brown. You can see the reason for this at once. While they are young the grass about them is green, and as they grow older they are seeking the tree trunks and are dressed to match their sur- roundings. When the foliage changes its colors in late Autumn the walking sticks blend with the colors of the leaves. When all the leaves have departed the walking stick, with his long legs stretched out in front, has the appearance of a twig. The females are much larger than the males, and the latter sometimes do not bother to change their Spring color. ‘There is but one eration each year, and the insect rates in the egg state. Cold weather takes off the older eneration. . In spite of its protective coloring and its lbslnty to imitate the twigs about it, this creature never becomes abundant.
