Now they too were enjoy- virginia creeper vine on the end of the house. They called back and Patsy and Fudgee were stretch- ed out full length near the sup- per table.

Jackadoo the Parakeet was with us. We had brought him out in his glass and chrome cage and hung it on a low hanging limb of the old apple tree. One glass bar on of the cage had been broken, Td stuffed an old leather glove into the opening so he could not get out. We often let him out|all night. but never out: the top in the sun room, side.

"Not over the gateway, Popo, but through the gateway, you silly thing!" corrected Fudgee. "People don't come over a gate. Don't you know that?" "No, I don't know -that, How would you expect me to know? Dogs come under gates, don't thhey?" Pokee asked. It was our friend Chame arriv- ing for a visit with us. All the dogs barked. Jackadoo fluttered against the glass sides of his cage, and we walked up the stone steps to meet her. It was pleasant to walk through the garden and see the flowers perking up after the day's heat was over. The hose pipes were busy sprinkling the plants and grass. fo Patsy and Fudgee followed us as we showed Chame around, but Pokee continued to tire her pup- pieg out so they would sleep well She was still feeding them a little. They ate Pablum and kibble and gnawed on puppy. biscuits. When we returned from our garden inspection to sit for a BOARDING KENNELS while and chat, we noticed that Jackadoo's cage was empty.

Squire was sitting at the bot: tom of the Maple tree by the gar- den wall, leaning against the trunk. It, was a rainy April day. There wasn't a single leaf on the tree. It was brown, and bare, and disinal looking. But Squire Squirrel was smil- ing as he turned around and looked up into the empty branch- es of the tree. "They'll all be coming back' to their old homes," he said. "Who will, Squire?" asked Han- id. 1y boarders. The folks Who live in my tree for the spring and summer and autumn" "The robins?' said Knarf. The Birds Squire nodded. "The robins, robins, the wrens, the thrushes and all the. other birds. Also' the caterpillars, Also now and then the cat. Well," le said, suddenly getting up, "I'd better be starting to. do my spring cleaning." "My goodness," said Hanid, "do you have to clean this whole tree?" "Certainly. What's so supris- ing about that. Don't people clean their whole houses?" among the little trees in the ever- green nursery at the far end of the garden, thinking we might find him there. Fudgee practically flew out at us screaming, "I saw. the bird, I saw the bird," and. dis- appeared again. We searched until dark for our little feathered friend, but alas, ho sign of him. An electric light extension cord was brought from the house and a small sized bulb hung in his cage. "We hoped by. this means to attract him back to his deserted home as it sat, em- pty on top of the stepladder. "Oh why would he ever fly away and leave us?" moaned Fud- gee. "We were good to him, weren't we?" "Creepin' lizagators!" sure we were," Patsy said. "But some Squirrel's Boarders BEFORE THEY RETURN T BE LONG Hanid had 'to admit that g id. ] "T've got old leaves to swe) away and dead twigs and brane] es to remove.

Not a green leaf on it wish I could be sure that fn] new ones are coming." "Oh, they always come," sf Hanid. "I don't know. Sometimes fief don't. If there was only some ya, to find out." Suddenly Knarf said would know. He "knows everything, Squire!" Squire's face lit up. "That| right. And he lives right in mf own' tree, too; up near the mid Owl! Oh Owl!" Squire called ou Sleepy Eyes A 'hinute later a feathered fa with sleepy eves looked dow; from a hole in the middle of ty tree. "Sorry if I woke you up, of man," apologized Squire Squire} "Could I ask you a very importa question?" "Certainly, certainly. it." Owl said, "Are the leaves ever going if come out on this tree again] said Squire. "That's a hard question," sail Owl- "Just wait a few minute) and I'll have the answer. I have think about it." With that Oy shut his eyes and remained py fectly still. "Ow almog| What "He fell asleep again!" si Knarf. "Sh-h!" warned Squire. "Dorf disturb him. He's as' wide awal as you are!" Just then Owl opened his e again. "No," he said. "What! No leaves on my tree! Squire cried in alarm. "No, only buds." And Owl hg ped back into his hole. But ti children didn't let Squire feel bij people don't know when they're well off. Take that Teddy Han- nah for instance. He has a per- fectly good home; plenty to eat and a comfortable place to sleep. 'What does he do every time he gets a chance? Go on, ask me, what does he do? Well, he runs away ag fast. as. his stubby little legs will take him. That's what he oes. Runs away. Now why does do that? Go on, ask me, why does he do that? T'll tell you. Be- cause he's just plain stupid! That's what he is, stupid. As I said before, some people don't know when they're well off, that's what they don't. Jackadoo was one of those I've mentioned. He's gone, and 1 don't expect we'll ever see him again." went to her around in Jjingle-jangled. we never saw Jackadoo again.
