IATTLES KAI HIS WAY
All through life too much is lost.
That might be saved at little cost.

"We don't need to," said Mrs.
Rattles the Kingfisher. l
"I think we do need to.” de-: (dared Rattles.
They were talking about the, new home they were digging in al
big sand pit. Mrs. Rattles had
her way about that new home. She
had insisted on digging it in that sold pit. which really was a long distance from the nearest water. Rattles had finally given in to her. But Ratlea didn't intend to give way his time. They had duiz a little over five feet into the bank when a big stone stopped them. Mrs. Rattles was for digging their bedroom. or nursery. right there with tha big atone for the back wall. Rattles didn't think that was safe enough. He was for. finding
out if that stone was too big to .
dig around.

so finally she rattled her way over toward the Big River.
”My dear." said he. "you go back to fishing. and llll dig a- while and see what. happens." i
Now Mrs. Rattles was tired of digging. Also. she had had poor luck fishing that morning. So finally she rattled her Way over toward the Big River. and Rattlesl went gack to work. 0! course he could.n't see is there. He had to work in the dark. He was too far into the bank for the light to get; in So far that tunnel has been dug' with care. It slanted just a little toward the entrance. There was! a reason for. this a very good rea- l son. If there should be a lotlgl hard rain and water should getv down from up above into thati. tunnel it would run out. Until they; found that big stone in the way Rattles had been sure that this. would be one of the best homes' they had ever had. He meant it to be if hard work would make it so. So it was discouraging to have to stop right there.
Should he dig to the right, ori should he dig to the left? Onel way he might not be able to get to the edge of that big stone at all. In the other direction he might find he was close to the edge of that stone right now. In deciding just which way he would have to work he. would have to iriist in luck. He began to dig in the left. He had dug only a little way, when he came. to the edge of the stone.
Rattles went to work harder llian ever. Perhaps that stone was ii good thing. it an enemy should ever try to get in that home, per- haps that stone would disrouriuze him. rattles kept right on ditzging it wasnt so easy to push the sand out now because it had to he pushed around that sione Rut hi- did it. When Mrs. Rattles returns ed he was alncady around the and of that stone.
"Now." said Rattles "we can
