A SUDDEN SILENCE Strange as it may seem 'tis true Silence sometimes shouts to you.

Striped Chipmunk was singing. Yes, sir, he was singing. Anyway he called it singing. He was erg- presslng his happiness with his voice, and if that isn't. singing what is it? It wzisii't. musical liki- the songs of the birds, It wasn't what you would call sweet, but in it's way it was Just. as good to hear as the happy singing or the feathered folk.

Striped Chipmunk was sitting on the old stonewall between the Old Orchard and the Green Mes.- dows. He loves the old stonewall. He never feels wholly comfortable when he is away from the DH stonewall. He loves to pop in and out between the stones. He knows rrcry npmuni! for the whole length of the old wall. Somewhere itnwn undcrn-zath that wall is the

ground. It Is secret. It is a secret that only he and Mrs. Chipmunk know. There is no more precious secret for very little folks than that of their home.

He had had a good breakfast. 1'. l5 always well to start a day with a good breakfast. It is the foun- dation of a day's happiness. Now with nothing to do Striped Chip- munk was telling all the Grant. World how good he felt and how happy he was. He had reason to be happy. Down in that secret home was another secret. It was the most precious kind or a se- cret. Can you guess whzit it was? Of course you ran. Little Mrs. Striped Chipmunk was Mother Chipmunk now. Indeed, she had been a mother for some time. In the snug little nursery down in

the ground were four babies whose eyes were not yet open. Mother thought they were the most beautiiui babies in all the Great. World. Of course, this docsnit mean that they were. All mothers think that of their bab- ie: when they are very little. And so they are in a mother's eyes rithough they may be the home- liost babies in all the Great World in the eyes of other people. You will find that whnt nnythlnglooks like largely depends on who is looking at it.

Striped Chipmunk didn't have nttirli to do with the babies, but he knew they were there with ihoir mother and that was slittin- lilll. So he was happy and he Just had to sing his happiness. It is a pity that there are not morc
