By letting them remain free you can hare all the pleasure with none of the worry snd work attached to their care if tbey wero imrages. In the autumn the migrating flocks go shooting along from the north to the winter feeding grounds, where the water doesn't freeze and seeds and insects are not covered with snow. Some birds go thousands of miles after they leave you, to vast jungles where great snakes live, and spotted wildcats roam the tangles of ancient trees and vines. Some of the birds will remain with you all winter, especially if you offer them food, and if they can find shelter from the high winds and the snow.

Of course you will have a greater variety of birds at yenr "dining table" if you live outside the city, but even where THE ACORN li 14 ft SOMETHING TO DO 16ere are tall buildings and a per petual roar of traffic you can have sparrows and pigj3 ana some times other species.

This might silence Mrs. Dunne for the timo being, but in a short time she would see an item in the paper about some boy being hurt playing football, and then tho argument would begin again. One day she read of a boy who had died as the result of a football injury, and Ray still shuddered at tho memory of that. His mother had cried and almost made herself sick worrying over him, and Kay himself had felt so sorry for her that he wa3 miserable.

If he quit playing, he would be called But all those things would not have counted with Ray if he had been convinced that his mother was justified in not wanting him to play. But he could not help feeling that her fears were unreasonable. He had tried to get her to attend the games, st that she might become enthusel over football, but she-absolutely refused to go near the field.

How quick you are to find an explanation when the work isn't done on time! Excuses are dangerous things just because they come to us so readily. Perhaps sometimes they are justified, but more often we use them to cover up our own failings. And we must always remember that an excuse is never a substitute for an accomplishment.
