STORIES FOR " j
Little Folks Jr"
My dear little ones:
Aunt Esto Is going to start your series of bird stories by
telling you a little story of the Hedge Sparrow, because that Is
the first little bird you see In the Spring: it is about the only
little bird which does not fly away to a warmer home when the
winter winds begin to blow. Next week 1 will answer some of
the postals 1 have received. Please, some more of you write and
tell me what kind of a bird you love best. I do like to see boys
and girls interested In the birds
And now listen to the story of
flow Little Brown-Back Helped Bring Itaek Queen Summer
Once upon a time Queen Summer left the Northern Home, for
It was getting cold, and she never did like cold weather. So she
closed her wonderful hotel, took down all her beautiful hangings
and lovely flower footstools, and packed them away And when
SHE left, all her gayly dressed boarders left too. Gowned In
wonderful hues of red and brown and green and gold and black
and white—they hurried across the sky to warmer resorts: In a
way tliat neither you nor I have yet tried, dear little ones—for
they flew across the deep blue heavens.
Poor Mother Nature felt sorry for her winter home. It looked
so lonely and so dismal and so forsaken. There were the bare
trees, stripped of their greens; there was the brown earth robbed
of its beauties: and now to think that with Queen Summer had
gone even the little songsters—Mother Nature felt very sad
Indeed.
But as she sat in her Cold North Rooms, she heard a little
step at her side. A wee, wee step; a patter, patter; a scratchy
scratch: and she looked up between her tears.
There beside her stood—guess what? Nothing more nor less
than a dear little brown-backed bird with an Iron-gray head and
neck.
"Dear Mother Nature." said he. "Do not weep. I know that
Jou felt badly to think that your north rooms had been left so
esolate, so I have come back. I will stay right here with you,
no matter what may come."
"But," said Mother Nature, "think of the tong winter. Think
ef the snow. Think of the cold. Thlnlc of the wind. Think of
the days when you will be able to tind no «.vorma, no Insects
when the ground will be frozen up and there will be no water
to drink. Dear little bird, I you for remembering me; but vou
had better follow that long flying line I se* wav off tti
j fllstance. and find another of Queen Summer'* hr-tels.

But little Brown-Back would not stir.
"Mother Nuture needs me here to help bring back beautiful
Spring and Queen Summer. I am smull hut perhaps if they would •
not hear my sweet, feeble song they would never come back with
the birds and the flowers and the fruit. 1 shall stay and help
bring them."
So little Brown-Back stayed. Here and there ho wandered
through the long, long winter. Over the ground he scurried on
days that were warm, hunting for worms or anything he could
find. Along he trotted with quick, slight jerks and a shuffle of
his wings, now and then stopping to pick up a bit of hair or
twig and lay It away to build the little nest.
All winter long ho tarried. When the deep snow fell he flew
back and forth, around the brightly-lighted homes where the dear
faces of children peeped out, and In his «%veet way begged to bu
taken care of and fed. And once In a while a little one under
stood and some crumbs fell for his breakfast.
And no matter how cr>ld nor how dreary nor how desolate his
life was, he stayed with Mother Nature in her winter home.
At last one day ho heard all of Mother Nature's children sigh
ing for Spring.
"We want our fruit, said the trees.
"We want our ripples," said tlie lake
"We want our berries," said the bushes.
"We want our vegetables," said the earth.
Then little Brown-Back know It was time to get busy. Up
and about ho flew gathering together all the nicest furnishings
lie possibly could find for his little neat "home, singing cherrlly
even In the face of March winds. Then In the warm nest home
he sheltered his dear brown wife —and there in the very heart of
it she laid Ave wee greenish-blue egg-
And from the eggs? Well, dear ones, I know you have guessed
—there came five dear little brown-backed birdies with Iron-gray
heads and necks. And as the April rain fell, they Joined In theli'
daddy's feeble song—and It seemed the air carried it way oft
across the deep blue sky. for from out the South land camo wings
of red. and wings of brown and wings of green and wings of
black and white—and the air was full of song, and gentle Spring
came hurrying along to prepare the way for Queen Summer, and
everything was glad end h%ppy and cheerful.
And iTttle Brown-Back? Well, he just took his humble place
among the lest, and never once 86«iined to care that th«y "were
