Why, it made them f cheery in spite of themselves! As you may already have guessed from his name, Crested Cardinal wore the feathers on his head pompadour. Still, he was not a bit conceited; and for at] that his song was 50 bright, he dressed quietly in a suit that. was brown to match the tree thinks and green to match the leaves, without "= red. , Crested Cardinal was always doing" things for other people. It kept him remar May suppose. mm: long enough to hold all the gay lit- tle surprises for his friends that tucked into it like presents in a birth: day cake; and when autumn came, it found him busier than ever. One morning very early ' Crested Cardinal was awakened by a faint tinkling in his ears. It was not exactly like raindrops, and it was not' exactly like bells. He peeped this way and that, and at last he saw a merry littie man in a@ green su uit fringed with icicles. The little man was standing tiptoe on a_ branch, painting the leaves with red and gold paint from his palet As he mov- ed, the icicles Preied 'with the tinkl- ing sound that Crested Cardinal had hear?d--a sound not exactly like rain- drops, and not exactly like bells.

One of their greatest: umphs to-day is the fact that they ;o have been recognized by Britain as one of the-Allied nations; and the break-up of the creaking Empire of Austria-Hungary has therefore al- ready begun.
