more was I: and sour!!- in! around the age house this ruesdsy morning. tor all the torn- dy wag going in to town with Mr. Page-

"No, Frisky. you can't come said Mr. Page as he shoved the little dog away iron: the car. frisky sadly walked over to crawl under the lllso in the shade.

The iarnily were ready. and they were on. Baby Linda was much excited. and laughed and prattled as they drove along.

"See all those cows in that field. Linda." said Laurie point- ing. "'I'hey are eating grass so they can give a lot oi milk to make butter for us. Mommy, do cows sleep?"

"Yes. or course they do. If it is hot. they siten lie down for a nap in the daytime. Then they Jsually sleep most of the night."

"What. is that big thing b the lance?" asked Laurie. po ting

am.

"That's a piece or machinery hat the (armor uses. It is called u hay loader. it picks up the hay hit the ileid as it goes along and wiles it on the wagon where the nan packs it in place."

"I wish we could wait here to ee it working." sighed Laurie.

"That would not do to day." aughed his tether. "l have bus- ness in town so we must hurry.

"Yes, and Linda and I must get DU? new shoes." added Laurie.

"Oh, Daddy. drive slowly here." mid Mother. "See the mother sorse and baby foal. Laurie. Look it the horse, Linda."

"Ga-ga. oh. oh oh!" said Linda. patting her hands against the car window.

"Isn't he a darling. Mommy?" said Laurie. "See his long legs. Look at the pretty white heart on his forehead. I think he wants to come with us. I-le's trotting along the fence looking at us."

"I-le's likely a pet. Perhaps a little boy lives there too, and

lays with him. That's why he's rocking (or attention."

By that time the mother horse and foal were out of.sight.

On a side road a road ma- chine was scraping the lumps Ind ruts off the road. They pas- sed a schoolhouse where the chil- dren were busy playing ball. .-L.:..j.:.....-m-

who is with simple ' content. Avoids a lot oi worriement. --or listen llulardy

01' Miatah lunsrd is absolutely right about that. The more things one has. the morothings one has to worry about. 01' Illstahhuzzard and Mrs. luzzsrd live the simple liie. Th are content. with simple things. ey est Iood that other iolks wouldrrt touch. so they don't have tiyworry about catching it as so many others do. They are sstisiisd with things that other folks have thrown aside.

They do not bother to build nests. so they do not have to worry about when a nest shall be built. how it should be built, what it should be built oi. or how it shall be hidden. Mrs. rd lust lays her eggs in some handy place which she iinds without too much trouble.

"it must be recess time." Lau- rie said.

"I'm sure this must be their last day or school too." said Mrs. Page. "Then they have a long holiday ahead oi them."

"Just beyond the next farm- house Laurie saw several big geese. "Oh. see the baby geese. Mommy. Look. Linda!"

"Those are called goslings.” his mother explained.

"They don't look like their mo- thers. They are sort or grey and yellow." said Laurie.

"That is their baby clothing." his mother said. "Their little downy bodies are like the baby chickens, but their real leathers will be white. and their wings grey."

"They play in that little Pond." added Laurie.

"Yes. they like the water. but hens don't. So you see. each 'per- son or animal or bird likes some thing diflerent from the other." was his mother's explanation.

"I see town now. See all the houses, Linda. You are going to get new shoes. dear. Will she like that Mommy?" '

"I hope so." replied his mo- ther. "What about you? Do you like new shoes?" -

"Oh yes. I like to get new things. I wan't to see if there are any new toys too. I just love to come to town for a little while But do you know what. Mommy” I like the car drive best of all. for there are so many in-t'r-sting things to see."

Iolssstissses it is a sheltered place on the bare ground. sometimes she finds a hollow stump or s. hallo! log. This year the two can were laid on the bars floor or a small save in s. rocky ledge. There was a little shalt oi rock in iront oi the little cave. It was a handy place to sit and take a sunbath.

There was not so much as a straw beneath these two eggs There Just. wasn't any bed at all. But overhead there was a root, a root or stone.,It was not;a big cave. In tact. it was only a little bigger than was necessary for com- iort. It didn't go in too tar. Mrs. Buzzard. sitting on the eggs, could look out and watch what was going on in the Green Forest, down below. And all the time. no matter what the weather was. she was dry. The rain couldn't get in there. This meant. that when the babies hatched out, they would not be subiect to dampness. They never would get wet as babies in outside nests oitan do. .

At iirst 01' Mlstah Buzzard hadn't known just what to think about Mrs. luzzard's choice of a home for the babies to be. They had never bsiors used s osve. Mrs. Buzzard insisted that this was no reason they shouldn't use one now. she had heard or members of the iamily using caves. It a hollow log on the ground was good. wlw not a cave? 01' Miatah Buzzard was sure it was the best place for a home they had ever had. It didn't trouble him at all, nor did it trouble Mrs. Buzzard that the babies had to lie on hard rock. "It is good for them," said 01' Mistah Buzzard. "Some babies have things too son and easy. A little rough- ness doesn't hurt anybody. it makes ior toughness. And children going out into the Great. World need to be tough."

So it was that in the mus cave in the ledge of rock two young Buzzards grew up until they were big enough to take their iirst lessons in flying. And they were as

"We'll do it again next year." said Mrs. Buzzard to 01' Mistah Buzzard. And he agreed.
