"Silly!" laughed Susan. “One. two, three, four five puppies. Look at that white one with the long yellow cars. He looks just like the one on the calendar at home."

“Frisky, little Frisky." chimed in David pointing to another that looked just like Laurie's little dog. By that time the tiny pups were crawling around on their wobbly short legs. and making little whimpering sounds. The children reached down to pat each one.

‘'1 like this black one." said Susan. "He is different from all the others."

Just then the mother dog came intu the barn. She moved swift- ly over to the box, sniffing anx- iously at her pups to see if they wore all right.

“Now we must go," said Mr, Dale." for the mother wants to be left alone with her babies. But. David. you may have a puppy for ynur birthday since Susan has her kitten. Which one do you like bcst"

THE DISASTER

You often fail from some mis-

take There's really no excuse to make. —.—Old Mother Nature.

Mr. and Mrs. Muddy the Eave Swallows, or Cliti Swallows as some folks call them. sat on the top of Farmer Brown's barn. They were discouraged. "It is no use to think about that mud way over by the Big River, it is too far away," twittered Muddy.

Mrs. Muddy nodded her small head. "I suppose it is," said she. “That mud over there la just ‘I/hat we want, but as you say it is too far away. I guess we'll have to make the best of the mud here and hope for the best."

The mud those swallows wanted was in a clay bank over by the Big River. It was the only i-lay mud they had been able to find, and that was the only kind of mud they wanted to use. They couldn't. be sure that any other kind of mud would hold together. or stick to the side of the barn. It would

The eaves of Farmer Brown's; barn were wide and afforded per-' fect shelter. They chose a spot

It couldn't be too wet. and it must- n’t be too dry. They plastered it against the rough board of the side of the barn. and built out from this. Gradually. and after ii lot of hard work. the new home took shape. It. was a little more than half completed. when the dis-I aster happened. Without any warn- ing that half finished house broke away from the wall of the barn. and fell. When it hit the ground it broke to pieces. Poor Muddy and Mrs. Muddy! They had been
