A long time ago, when. there was no winter up north, the chickadees lived merrily in the deep woods with their numerous relatives, But one day some of the other birds in the forest told the Tomtits that they were going down south because later on a cold winter was coming and all the birds would have to go down south, But Tom Tit was not afraid. Not if he was left alone. He was not going. All the other birds would make their journey by night to avoid their enemy, the hawk, going by the Gulf of Mexico. They would sing so as not to get scattered and get lost. The chickadees made up jokes about the Gulf of Mexico as they played tag gayly. Next day all the birds werse gone and the Tom Tits were left alone, It began to snow and they tried to find shelter in trees, holes and vari- ous places. It was so terribly cold the Tom Tits almost went crazy, but they bad to brave the winter out together. Now every year they go crazy up north. i No! EDITH H. STOWE, Age 14. Norwich. Crosspatch.

Pierre was a little French boy who lived in a village near the boundary line between France and Gerrnany. One day some French troops came to the village. When the people gathered around them the captain asked if they had seen any Germans :heut. “Do vou know if they are far from here? T wish to know exactly hefore we cross the river, added the captain. Little Pierre, who had heard the question pushed forward and saluted “If you wish, T will find out” said he. “I know the country very well My grandmother, who is ill, lives on the other side 02 the river, in the next village. T will go to se» her and find out of the Germans are ne.r by.” But vou will be shot,” said the cap- tain.” “Oh, T am not afrald” 1eplied the boy. “T will hide in the kashes, and if any one should see me I will say I am going to see my granimather.” The boy's cffer pleased ihe captain and he consented to let the boy try out his plan. Pierre started off as if he were go- ing for a wulk in the country. E.‘ THE FIRST VALENTINE by Margzaret Nosworthy of Hamatom.
