..‘0w-w-w. oo-oo-on." walled Lau- rie as he whlzzed along on his red ‘l‘l¢¥Cle- “I'm I fire engine. Get out of my way. Ow-w»w!"

“With that noise. I'm sure no

one. not even Frisky, would stay around too long." said Mrs. Page. “For the sake of my ears, I think it would be I good idea to be something else.“ ‘ Laurie grinned at her, then said. “All right. I'll be a wild driver instead. Just watch my speed! Zoo-o-m." He flashed out the kitchen into the living rnoni. and back to the dining room. his wheels. making a Splnnlllg snulirl. like car wheels on pavement

“Watch out for Linda.“ his mn- ther warned. “Dnn't bump into her.“ Laurie‘ gathered up speed again and off he went. But this time he had too much speed at the turn tnd his tricycle tipped sideways. He landed nn his side. with the trike on top of him. He didn't cry, though for a moment the tears came to his eyes.

"That's a queer way to drive." laughed his mother “Pick your- self up.‘ You ended up like most wild drivers with your car up- side down. though you were lucky. You weren't hurt. You had better think of something better than that."

“I think l'll _give Ginger a drive." suggested I.aui-ir-. He ran off to get his big teddy. and soon returned with both him and Panda. He carefully placed them on the back bar of his trike. and when he had them balanced so they would stay, he drove off again, quite slowly this time.

“Just see my family getting a

ride.“ he called as he passed through the kitchen. “I‘m sure they are enjoying

their ride." snillerl Mrs. Page "They hnlh look very liappy.“

Laurie made four ti-ins arnunrl the circle of the rooms. when Ginger fell off. Linda crawled over and picked him up.

"Smart girl! Bring him to me."

called Laurie. Linda's face was all smiles as she made her way to the trike with the teddy. She tried to put him back on again. but each time he fell. She reach- ed over and pulled Panda off too. '_1‘hen she pulled herself up and put her foot on the back foot rest. . “She wants a ride herself," said Laurie excitedly. "Please. Morn- my. let me give her a ride. I'll be very. very careful." I His mother thought for 3 mo- ment "All right," she agreed "Well give it a try. Here. Linda. put your feet here. and hnld tight- ly to Laurie." Linda reached her chubby arms up to grab Laurie’: overalls. He drove off very very slowly. while Mrs. Page walked behind. ready to catch Linda if she slipped.

But Linda did not slip. She kept her legs steady and held on for dear life. Her face let up in a big smile as Laurie made a turn and started on again.

The child who mother's patience ll‘l9S. , May proie a. blessing in disguise. —-Mrs. Bob White.

Mrs. Bob White should know about this As a mother she has had much experience. She believes hellrtily in big Liniilles. She prac- tices \\ll£ll she believes. She call- llui uiiderstiind how some feathered folk can be satlslied with the small liiiii.l.cs they lizive. If you could ask her. she probably would tell you that she never has too large a family. Yet more than once she has had a dozen or more children at. IA time.

This yeiir she had made her nest Just inside one edge of the dear Old Brier-patch. She had

chosen a place where a very thick- growing bush hung over it and would hide her when she was sit- t:iig on her eggs. Although Peter R€ILJb.L and Mrs. Peter were living in the dear Old Brier-patch they didn't know about it. Peter looked everywhere olitside. because he kucw that there must be a nest soniewhere. He never once thought to look inside the dear Old Brier- patch. So it was that Mrs. Bob White broodcd her fourteen eggs for a little over three weeks be- fore her secret was discovered. Then Mrs. Peter chanced to discover the ones while Mrs. Bob was away.

It was the very next mnrnim: that l\‘ll'S. Bob felt a slight stirring beiicnth her. She knew what it

meant. The first egg was begin- ning to hatch. The first baby was cutting his way out into the Great World.

Perhaps cutting isn't the -right “We‘re just teaching her this now aren't: we. Mommy?" he

asked. "She's learning snniething ncw. " v

"Yes. and she likes her trike ride." added his mother. “You

are being very gentle and thought- illl tnn."

“We must show Daddy this new trick," said Laurie with shin- ing ex-es

“Yes. after SIIDDFI’ tonight. you can do this again." his mother replied. “Rllt now Linda had bet- ter get off before her legs tired.

"That was fun." Laurie said as he too got off the trike. “First I was a fire engine. Then I was a wild driver. After that I had fun giving my family 3 drive. But teaching Linda to ride with me

was the very best of all."

is what should be said. But the shell is broken in such a way that it is almost like cutting. It l5ll'ti broken any old way; it is broken‘ in a line right around the shell! so that it falls open in t.wn parts. and the baby chick steps out. There was a lot going on in that nest that morning. for all those eggs hn'|li(‘ll-1 ed in just that way. Each chick had a very tiny horn at the tip of the bill and on the upper part. It was with this tiny horn that the shells were broken open. It was for this purpose, and only for this_ purpose. that Mother Natilre gave‘ these babies the tiny points. or _liorns. There would be no further use for them. and in two or three days they would drop off. ‘

Now all of those babies could walk or run just as soon as they‘ stepped out of their shells. There} were fourteen of those lively wee‘ chicks, a family to be proud of.’
