hurried
"Wake robin,°"wake-robin, please
sing me a song!",
I heard a 'sweat, coaxing child's
voice say, on the opposite side of. the
paling, "where stood winsome little
Blossom—her naine'was Rita,' but we
always called her Blossom—with eager
upturned face, and earnest, asking
eyes, watching a pert Mr. Robfir,Rede
breast who sat on a limb of the old
'� r tree gravel considering,as it
, Y
seemed, the question : of whether he
should sing or not.
Finally he gnva his tail a flirt, look-
ed' sideways at Bossy and uttered a
musioal note or two, as much as to
say, "You see, little girl, I can sing if
I am a -mind to. But before he could
quite make up his mind to do so with-
out
ith
out further coaxing, a stone came
whizzing through the old pear -tree,
gni down came Wake -robin with a
broken leg and a badly -wounded wing.
"Oh, you naughty, wicked boy!"
cried Blossy,: running to pick up the
poor bird. "You have killed my dear,
pretty little Wake -robin, and I shalll
hate you all my life' for it, Jack
Thornton, that I shall!"
Master Jack put his tongue in his
cheek and said he'd kill as many birds
as he liked, and Blossy might hate him
for it as hard and as long as she
pleased, for all he cared.
Jack was indeed a bad, wicked, idle
boy, who was always doing something
cruel, and was never so happy as when
he thought lie was making some one
miserable.
Nobody liked him, for he was as un-
prepossessing in appearance as he was
cruel in disposition, and Bossy, sob-
bing ready to break her little heart,
ran away from him as fast as she
could, with Wake -robin clasped close
to her breast and her hair flying like a
Olden cloud behind her.
Now Blossy had a big brother who
knew all about everything, and to him
she flew with her grief and tears.
Alfred thought it a chance if Wake -
robin survived his injuries, but he got
some bits of pliant wood, and the
broken leg was put in splints after a
'fashion, and the wounded wing care-
fully bathed with cold water and
arnica. Then he brought doyen from
the garret a nice, roomy cage, that had
once been the house of a pet gray
squirrel and in it Wake -robin was
tenderly placed, Blossy helping Alfred
all she could, being quick to hand the
splints and string, or anything else
her brother needed while engaging in
setting the broken limb.
Wake -robin looked awfully sick all
that day, and the next and the next;
but the third morning, when Blossy
went to the cage, ,fully expecting to
And him dead, Robin greeted her with
a feeble chirp, which was saying, as
well as he could:
"I am a good deal better this morn-
ing, and if you please, Miss Blossy, I'll
try and eat some breakfast, if. you will
be so kind as to get Ire up something
appetizing."

exist, it should be desirable' for auto-

possible use out of all parts of their

To do this requires no greater effotit

Every driver of aft automobile is.
frequently called upon to turn corner's.
The simple matter of turning a corner
can,be done thoughtlessly in a lvay-to
save the tires more wear than neces-
sary. Letting the clutch in with a
bang, which tends to jerk the car is
another method of +overstraining the
tires. Every driveroften has to stop
his machine at the side of a curb. '.A

Robin seemed contented enough dur-
ing. the winter, but when spring came
he grew melancholy, and looked long-
ingly out at the blue sky and bloom -
ladened orchards.
Blossom noticed his extrelne dejec-
, tion, and said, one day, as she stood by
the open window, on the broad ledge
of which was placed Rob's large, airy
cage:
`Now, teal lire truly, Wake -robin,
would you like to leave me and fly
away to .the green Reads and shady
, woods? You won't sing, nor anything,
but just sit and droop your wings and
look so wretched. I suppose it's be-
cause you're unhappy and :tired of
your prison. I did not rescue you from
Jack Thonrton's cruel clutches to make,
you miserable, so, if you really want
to go, why you can, that's all—there!"
Blossom opened the cage -door and
left It to Robin himself to say whether
he would go or remain.
It was no doubt a great moment in
Redbreast's life, and one which could
not be too seriously considered.
Robin hopped from his perch and
stood half in and half out of the cage.
"Chirp! chirp!;'.
Which Blossom knew meant:
"Are you really in earnest, Bless?
May I truly go?"
Then Rob came out on the window-
sill, gave his wrings a few flutters, just
to try their strength, and away he
flew, with a wild, joyous note of glad-
ness.that made Blossy clap her hands
in delight that she had been the one
to open his prison -door.

as diamonds, singing with all his
might.

everything in . it, and to :feel that he
was quite safe there. The window
was left open, and Robin flew in and
out whenever he pleased, a:1 winter.

"Oh L don't know," replied the child.
'Tai the teacher."
Nothing was seen of Rob for nearly
two weeks, and Blossy began to think
him very forgetful as well as a most
ungatefssi bird, when she was awaken-
ed, ole morning, by hearing his song,
poured forth, as it seemed, for her
espeoial pleasure, close to her chamber
window.
She sprang up and ran to see if it
was really Wake -robin.
Yes; there he was, hopping from
of the old pear -tree
itself into a joyous carol in sympathy
with the flood of sweet sounds issuing
from the little throat, and which was
Cheerily answered— 'Why, good grac-
ious, if Rob hadn't brought some one,,
home with him!
Wake -robin wasn't as handsome as
a bird with a straight leg would have
been, but, during his two weeks' ab-
sence, he had managed to win for him-
self a modest little wife, dressed all
in sober brown, and as obedient and
gentle in disposition and manners as
even the most exacting redbreast could
wish.
Now, indeed, did Blossy see what it
was that made Robin feel so grand
'and sing so jubilantly, for, before the'
day was over, Mrs. Wake -robin had
fixed upon a proper place for building
her nest, and where should that place
be but in the old pear tree, and the
limbchosen was the very one that
shaded Blossom.s's window, and offered
her.every'advantago far watching the
interesting process of nest -making.
This, surely, was a rich reward for
the care she had lavished on Rob in
his lonelybashe:or days.
He was not such an ungrateful fel-
low, .after all, though he way not quite
honest for he made nothing of appro-
priating Mosey's silk flosses, or any
soft material he could find in her
work -basket, and carrying it off to
weave into his nee!, without saying so
much as "By your leave, my dear
Mossy."
The nest was finished at last. In a
week five beautiful, blue-green eggs
were laid therein, and in two weeks
more five wide -gaping mouths, and
five heavy -looking, featherless Iitt:e
robins were crowding each other in the
rough mud nest.
The parent -bird hadno time now to

ARTICLE No. 28
The recent articles on proper leads
have stirred up considerable interest
and as a result many interesting hands
have been;submitted. Here is one Illus

,No score, first game. Z dealt and bid
three Hearts, -'A three spades, Y four
hearts and all passed, What is A's
proper opening lead?' Z'a bid of three
hearts and his partner's raiseindicate
without doubt that YZ leave set up
heart suit. A's only hope is to take four
tricks in, the other three suits and his
best chance to do so is to force the lead
to him. For that reason this hand is a
fine example of a trump -lead. It cannot
do any harm and•may save a trick or
so. Don't hesitate to lead trumps' under
such conditions: First, when sure teat
oppopents have all the trumps; second,
wbefi partner has not indicated suit;
and •third, when the leader hasno suit
' to open except at a disadvantage. When
these three conditions are present, lead
the trump. It cannot lose and -may gain
a trick.
After the first Lead the dummy hand
is placed on the table and from then on
the players have leas guesswork and
more thinking to do. Very often a game
can be saved by using a little judgment
and cogunori•aense: The following hand
held Iv Y is a good example:
' Hearts -10, 7

the ace of hearts. What should he lead? -

Z then led clubs and established
his clubs before he' lost the ,aee_ of
spades. As a result Z"won game and
rubber, losing only one club and three
heart tricks. If B had stopped to con- -
sider at trick two, he would have .real-
ized that if -he took the ace of spades
out of Y's hand, the latter could never
make the club suit. The question is
how can 13 force Y to play the ace of
spades. He cannot be sure of doing so
by leading a low spade for Z may have
the queen. If he ...leads the. king of
spades, hdwever, lie' is sure, either of
forcing Y to play the ace or give him
the trick. If the latter, he should lead
a low spade at trick three. Y must now
play the ace and now cannot make the ,
club suit. If B had led the kin of.
spades at trick two,,,he would not only
have saved game but also would have
defeated the two no-trump bid by one -
trick. Thinkthis hand over very care-
fully and be sure you understand- the
principle involved. It -is one that comes
up very frequently and, if thoroughly
understood,.. will be of great practical
value.

fortuwee for the publishers, who gen- -_
erous:ly appropriated Nolan's property
for their own use Without granting
him any compensation. It was the old
storyeif publishers reaping a golden
harvest while the author and composer
went unrewarded.
Nolan wrote one other song, "I'll""-'
Whistle' and 'Wait for Katie, , but It
Bever equaled the popularity of "Little
Annie Rooney." Curiously enough, It
;was the /atterballad which helped the
American popular song movement get
under way a generation ago. It is re-
corded that the experience encounter-
ed by Nolan so embittered him that he
never again wrote a sprig.
That the fame of "Little Annie
