the summer, where they neat, They are
migrants, and so when nesting-time Is
over and autumn has coma we see a
good deal more of - them. They have a
very queer name, don't you think?
Who would ever dream of cracking a
nut with a great, clumsy hatchet? But
it Is evidently because they use their
bills in this capacity that they have
been so called.
With these they hack .apart the thin
shelled nuts, such aa beech, hael and
chestnut. They like sunflower seeds,
and are very partial to kernels of corn.
They are thrifty little creatures, and
during the summer, when Insects are
plentiful, they live entirely on these,
storing away their nuts and seeds In
the crevices of the bark, bo that when
the frost kills the grubs and Insects
they may not go hungry. They know
exactly where they have' deposited each -nut,
and flying to the spot when hunger
bids them, hack patiently away with
the strong hatchet of their bills, the
blows of which can be heard to a good
distance. Sometimes we are prone to
think the nuthatchea do not bother
making a neat,' although they have such
an excellent tool wherewith to ,do this,
but, instead, locate in a woodpecker'a
nest or that of a chickadee.
The red-breasted bird naa a curious
habit of omearlng the entrance to, hla.
home with pitch for some unknown rea
son. But soma wice persons think that
he does this to prevent his enemies,
snakes, aquirrels . and ao forth, ; from
robbing his-nest. -

"Now, while we're waiting for tha

up the wet pots.
"Run to the end of the aummer house,

Into each pot she dropped a piece

ery. Suddenly a crashing and grinding
awakened her, aad there flaming in th
sunlight war great high rock and
spraying foam.
Dana lifted up ber vole and cried
for help.
In answer cam a tail man In a broad
hat and rough cloak. In his band a
spear for spearing fish.
With sura strength he threw his cast
ing net upon tha cheat and soon Dana
and the baby were Mf beild him on
the rock
H told Dana that h wm called
Dtctys the netter, and that ha was
brother to Polydectes. th king.
Then poor Dana fell at the man's
feet and baaought blm to have merey
upon her and upon her babe, praying
that h take ber to b a servant la hla
horn. ,
Dlctys consented, ' and so it cam ta
paaa that Danae went home witn him
and lived aa a daughter to him and to
his wife, for they were lonely, having ,
no cniiaren.
Fifteen yeara quickly passed away and ;
the babe grew into a tall stripling. v
Dana called htm Perseus, but tha people
' of the kiland vowed that n wm no
mortal and called him Zeus. Although
but a lad h waa a head taller han th ;

tlanately strong. He wm quick In all
manly sports and be was brave and
'gentla and very " courteous..
One . day. Perseus wandered Into .aw
- - forest and. lying down, fell aaleep. And
as he elept he had a dream. To him
- there ' appeared . a beautiful lady with .,.
. clear gray eye and having a helmet.
and a spear. Perseus asked her who
she was and she answered blm: '
. "I am Pallas Athena, tha reader of
men'a hearts. From bass hearts I turn
away, but beautiful "sou la I make mora
beautiful. I make them heroes, the sons .
of the Immortals. Some . of these dl '
early, some live to an honored old age.
Wihat their end shall be I myself know
not. Choose if you desire tdvjoln th
goodly company.
"See! said she holding up her pol
ished shield: "Think you you can slay
this, Perseus?" , .
Perseus gasped at "what b aaw reflected-
there. It waa the face of a
woman, but such a womanj The oheeks
were of a chalky paleness, the lips thin
and sneering, the brows drawn together.
In place of hair snakes crawled and
- wrltihed about her temples,- Upon her
bosom ahone brasen clawa, while eagle -wings
wer folded round her head.
. Perseus gased a. while, then turning
' . Away, saldt , -- . ..
",'Twere a noble deed to slay so foul
a monster, and 1 will take it on me.
Where is It to be found?'V.
"At the end of a seven yeara' , Jour

will you find the Medusa. If thou turn .
back you., shall die In th TJnshapen
Land." - -' '
"Direct me on the Journey, said
Persedis, Impatiently. "I wish to be oft"
"Onfe." said Athene, ."Medusa- was a
maldfea fair as dawn. But she sinned -a
horrible sin, since when her hair has -.become
vipers, her hands claws and so
terrible Jier- eyes that whomsoever their

vanished away from her eight.
At length he beard the flutter of th
Gorgon's wings, and he halted, fearing
tM terrible y of the Medusa. Slowly
he roM Into th air, holding hla shield

saw tnree uorgons sleeping. Medusa
tossed in her sleep and Perseua, Invl
ible, strode boldly to her and. loo
on tne shield, thrust stoutly with bis
magic sword. At one blow he killed
her. Swiftly he wrapped th bead In a

cam to a shore above the sea, and
, there ha saw a lovely maiden fastened
to a rock with .brasen chains. With a
atroke of his magic sword Perseus
broke. her fetters and Inquired her
. name. He found that ahe waa called
Andromeda and that she Was left here
, for; an atonement to a sea monster
whom her mother had offended.
Now,. Perseus had fallen in lova with
the fair maid and he determined to kill
thla monster for her sake. Like a ship
the huge monster hove Into sight, and
Perseus flew into the air.
At. last the monster saw Andromeda
and made for her; but Perseus came
down, and, looking around,' the maiden
saw only a black rock where the mon
ster had been. Then Perseua took her
