whitesccks, Lynne‘: grey mo- mer cat wi the four white "socks." rose carefully so as not to disturb her sleeping babies. she leaped lightly to the nearest oundie of pressed hay and looked lm,-ingly down at them. The three wee kittens. just a day old. in curled up on the soft hay in a warm nook in the barn. The black and white one lay by him- self. while the two yellow. grey and white ones were cuddled :IolO together with the head of -ma resting‘on the back of the inner. Whltesocka looked at those .wo. They were exactly alike. She wondered how she would ever earn which was which.

Feeling that all was well with oer children. the cat walked out if the barn and across to the -mtlse. Lynne was there. and rdn -.n pick her up. How Whitesocks loved to be cuddled! The three girls had always made such a msg over her. She rubbed her head against Lynne‘: cheek and purred.

“Come in for some nice warm inilk," said Lynne. going in the back door. «"You must be hun- gry after being out all night."

Whitesocks hungrily licked her dish clean. then sat near the stove in wash her face. She jumped up on the couch by the window. and felt the warm sun on her back. Here was her usual sleep- ing place. Just then Lynne‘s mo- ther went to the door to go to the garden. and Whitesocks slip- ped out too.

She knew just what she would do The barn was no place to bring up a family. No sirree! She belonged in the house where she could get lots of loving and petting. Why should she stay in the dusty hay when the soft com- fortable couch was there waiting (or her?

Over she went to the barn. and listened to hear if her kittens were sleeping. Yes. they were very quiet. She walked lightly l)\'(‘l‘ and picked up one of the yellow, grey and white kittens. Tarrying it carefully by the loose skin at the back of its neck. she made her way out of the barn and over to the house. The door stood ajar. so she pushed her way inside, and went happily to her old spot in the sun on the couch. She curled up, purring conientedly. while the kittens snuggled beside her.

Half an hour later, Lynne and her mother came in.

"Oh, Mommy look!" exclaim- id Lynn. “Whitesocks has a baby ritten here on the couch!"

“What?" demanded her moth- ii-. “Whitesoclu! What are you Ioing with that kitten in here‘! Ihe has two more kittens in the barn. Lynne. You take this one out and put it with the others."

Lynne picked up the kitten. At unce Whitesocka jumped up. iieow-ing anxiously. and following close on l_'_|Q_l‘,I_|8_‘Oll to see what she was going to do with the kitten.

somebody had wakened them. Be- cause they were all facing out. each flew in a different direction. The noise they made with their stout wings frightened Peter as much as they were frightened. and he took to his long heels.

It was when the family, was gathered together again that Bob and Mrs. Bob explained what had happened.

“Now you see.“ said Bob White. “why we have taught you to sleep at night in a circle with everybody facing out. When you took to your wings there was nothing in the way of any of you. You didn't. bump into each other. Right from the very start each of you had all the room needed. The farther you flew, the farther apart you were and the less danger there was of an enemy catching you. sleeping or resting in a circle is an old Bob White trick. and a good one. It is some- thing to remember always. Now that you have learned how it works never forget it."

"There is so much to learn,” complained one small Bob White.

SUCH A LOT TO LEARN

When learning only to forget,‘ You're wasting time you will re-

gret. « —Bob White.

Peter Rabbit had given the Bob Whites a great fright. It was the first real fright the little Bob whites had ever had. To Bob White and Mrs. Bob that kind of fright was an old story. The fam- ily had been sleeping on the ground as is the Bob White way. You know. the common name for Bob White is quail. They had been sleeping in a closely packed circle. Happy go lucky Peter Rabbit just happened along where they were sleeping. He didn't see them. He all but hopped right into the middle of that family circle. They all awakened Just in time and all took to their wings. They dldn‘t know it was Peter. They Just knew that

The sooner you learn what these dan- gers are, and whom to watch out for. the better chance you will have of growing ‘up. We Bob Whites spend most of our time on the ground. It is there that we have the greatest number of enemies. Sometimes it seems to me as if everybody is always looking for a Bob White dinner. But you must learn also to watch in the air.

There are three kinds of folks you must never let. get too near; and when you see them in the air over-

''I don't see how being afraid can make anyone happy," said an. other young Bob.
