Homer was one of the best fly- ers. He was not only strong, but he had pruveii in previous races that he had pluck. Speed, strength and pluck, are the things mosty needed in in race, and Homer hadl iill three.

The birds were so very far from their homes that all would fly in

ltiip same general direction for it

long time. and so could keep each other company. It was Homer who led oif. It was he who first felt sure of the direction in which far away home lay.

The weather became more and more unpleasant. "There is going to be a storm." complained one of the iiyers fretfuliy. Homer said nothing, but kept right on flyingu He knew tiiere was going to be .1 sl.()i'iI1. But storm or no storm, he meant to get home. One of ihe younger birds became tired and lagged behind. Soon another did the same. thing. Homer was leildllliz the way straight into that storm. The wind blew in heavy gusts. It brought the rain with it. It was hard work to fly against both wind and rain. More of the birds drop- ped out, and sought shelter be- low. Homer kept on. Presently he was flying alone. His wings arhed. It was hard to breathe against. that wind. Still he came a time when he could no longer fly against the storm. Be-

low him everything was strange.

It was new country to him. Not: one familiar thing was to be seen. He had no idea at all where he Was, save that he was on his way lhome. O! that he was sure. Having all his life lived close to the lhomes of Man, he headed for the inearest farm. It was his good ',luck - and it was luck - that ;the nearest. farm he headed for was the home of pigeons. They were not the same kind as Homer; they were not homing or carrier . pigeons. They were just the com- ' mon kind that never flew far from

The Tiny Folk

(A real story of real children for very young children)

This was 1 beautiful morning. Yesterday's storm was over and gone, but it had left lots of snow behind it. The big yellow sun sent dancing little sunbeams to sparkle on the snow. Every little bush and tree had fluffy white snow on its branches, The whole world seemed especially wonderful that day. just. like a Fairyland.

Over in the far corner of the Page orchard was a big. big snow- bank. To thr.e year old Laurie it seemed as if it must be the very biggest snowbnnk in the whole world.

"Isn't it ti fine day, Mommy!" he exclaimed, as he pulled on his red niitteiis. "Just see how the snow L. pushed back. Isn't it big Ilild wide and high? I hope Susan can come over. We can play on that big bank. We can go tip and up

Up they storied to cilmh. six year old Susan went first. her feet. making deep steps in the soft. snow. Four year old Ted followed close behind, then the tnro smaller boys. Laurie and Phil followed. By now It looked as if there were atairs up the bank.

"They lined up at the top." Lev: all roll down, over and over sug- gested Phil.

"All right, Let's!" the other three said together.

"One for the money. two for the show, three to make ready, and four to-Go!” shouted Susan, and down they rolled.

You never saw so many feet and anus flying around u there wrre on that hill. It looked as if there must be at least 7I dozen children. But no! there they were zettlnsz up. One. two. three, four! Yes four children. covered from

flakes. some snow was even slick- ing to Susan's hair. The four of them shouted with glee. and raced for the snow stairs again. This time thev all sat on the edge, and went sliding down.

"whee-ee-this is fun!" Phil laiiglird as he started up again.
