Aunt Este's Stories Por Children My dear little ones: I am so glad to gee what an interest my dear ones take in the birds I have been asked to write about BO many I do not know whether I can cover them ull or not but I do know this: 1 am going to give you a big- fat book of bird stories—more than Hix—for I, myself, am as much Interested in them as you are. I shall be glad to receive letters at any time telling me little inter esting things you know about the birds. And now listen to a story of the very first little bird which comes from his happy South land to us UB soon as the winter la nearly over. WAKULE, Tin; LITTLE BLUE HUSSENGGR Once upon a time the South land was full of birds, for the air was balmy, the breezes cool, and the fruit ripe—and, of course, that is the sort of a home the birds love. Prom every tree one could sfce peeping little heads—blue heads and red heads and brown heads and black heads. Each breeze brought with it the sound of tiny voices—sweet calls and shrill calls, and low tones and high tones; for the birds were happy—oh very happy indeed, In their South land home. But at last they began to grow restless—for you must knowi dear little one.", that the birds love to travel more than any other family—they wanted to come to the North land once again. "But," said Woodpecker, "perhaps we might freeze. Who knows but what the North land Is still cold and full of snow and ice?" "I'm afraid to risk it yet," said little Wren. Just then Warble Bluebird stretched his beautiful blue wlnga. "I think I might try the trip," said he. "I believe I have grit - enough to endure it, if it is a little cold. And perhaps If I do go, I can help sing out the violet and the grass and the little twigs and the buds. Good-by, dear friends, I will either come back and tell you whether it is warm enough up there, or else I will send you a wireless message through the breezes, good-by." And with a flutter of his azure blue wings Warble-Bluebird was gone. "He Is a soldier," said Tiny Wren, as she cuddled down In her nest. "Yes, he Is." said Robin, "and you should be ashamed of your self, Tiny Wren, the way you treat him. Just as soon aa you get up to the North land you will fight him from his home ha nas made." "You ought to be ashamed! You ought to be ashamed!" warbled all the birds. But Tiny Wren only laughed. She aort of gloried In her power because aha was ao tiny. And Warble Bluebird? On, on, he flew, ovar mow olad fields and snow capped forests —farther and farther North, until he reached the place where he had had his woe honvc just one year before. The snow still lay on the ground in patches but here and (here, there peoped out :i little nquavc of brown onrth • / HARRISBURG £& TELEGRAPH EPHRATA WILL HAVE l CLUB THIS SEASON Jacob L.

"I hope I have not taken a cold on my long trip," said he, "for I cannot call out the violets if my throat is hoarse" But his little notes rang clear as a beil, and so he shook his blue coat-tails in great glee, as he started to look around him. There was the same old farm house, around which he had found crumbs for his babies last year; there were the same old fences on which he had sat to woo his little blue mate; there was the gatepost where his cousin bluebird had built his nest in a hollow spot; there was the woodshed, where his own nest had been built. My but his little heart beat with the joy of home-making. .Tust as you, dear little ones, love to make houses for your dollies and dogs and cats, sp Warble Bluebird was longing to make a home for the dear little babies he hoped to have. • But Just them Uncle Wind began to blow a bitter gale—for it was March, and he could not help wanting to show he was stlU in power. So he blew a few little snow flakes out of their homes, and carried along Jack Frost, as he made one of his trips— and when poor Warble Bluebird saw them coming he took to his heels—oh, no X mean his wings—and away he flew over the bright blue sky. On, no, toward the South land he flew—and as he got nearer ho called out with his clear sweet voice: "Come, come, come! Winter la going—soft breezes blowing— Though the trees are still bare, By the time you get there— • The Spring will have come to the loved Northern home." Then back he flew as fast as his little blue wings could carry him to the farmhouse, the woodshed, the fences, the gatepost and the meadows. Bark he few and through the thawing weather he picked up sticks and twigs and hair and hay, and anything he could And to make a beautiful home for his precious little wife, who would soon sit there, and from dear little eggs would hatch out a dear little family for him to love and feed. What cared he if sometimes the north wind- did blow? He only shook his feather a bit, and warbled a sweet tune to keep warm as he worked away. He was a brave little worker, only , stopping now and then Ho tell little Hedge Sparrow, who had never left the winter home, some of the glories of the South land. / But one thing worried him, and made him sigh now and then beneath his blue jacket.
