The perch was empty except or Grandma who had always lived with them, the lawn was neat and inviting but It a well the house Inside was quite devoid of company, it "I fuess you're kidding me," lie aid, "and If so you'd better quit or I won't Civ a-on the nice present I rot yoa while I was in Hampden." ,, "No, honest I'm not kidd.ng." re plied Dorothy. "Follow me and I'll how them to you." Louis followed with a very doubtful look on his face as his sister went around to the back of the house and topped at the kitchen door. ). "Humph, soma kind of a pet!" bought Louis. , , "Walt," said his guide. "I'll have to fet an apple." She stepped briskly Into the hoe and brought out an apple and a knife. Then she sat down on the back step and cut up the fruit, one-quarter she laid on on end of the last step which Was of stone, and the other quarter ho lajd on the other end. After that aha g-ave Louis the third quarter and began on the last one herself. , "Hera they come! Here they come!" aha cried In triumph. Louis followed her raze and saw some wary feelers projecting from a crevice tinder the stone step. After a little hesitation the feelers came out followed by a head and a black shiny body. "A cricket, Vrosh!" exclaimed Louis, eornfully. "That's the one that walks by him self," explained Dorothy. "I found him tip at the Monument one day when I walked over there with Mother and I brought him home to be with the others, but he won't associate with them. He looks different too. It makes him proud so I have to feed him by himself. On, look! Hers come the others." Feelers appeared at the other end of the atone and soon six dusty black crickets came filing out. Three of them had white mnrks on their hack. Do You Know What general had three horses shot from under him? Fitzbugh Lee.

"I've marked some of them so's I could tell them from the other That fat one with the straight mark is Incuts, your namesake." "Humph " grunted the brother, bir he was interested In spite of himself. "Which one is Dorothy?" "None of "em." replied the g!r'. "I've decided that they're a'.l gentle men because they sing." "Pon't lady crickets sin??" Inquired Louis. "And how do you know any way?" "Well, It was like this," said Dors-, 1 j M .lift "Here Tlicy Come!" thy. "After you went away I began being very lonesome and one day 1 was sitting here feeling blue when a little cricket came and bopped rignt on my foot, and then up on my dress, and then on my hand, and began eat - ing my apple which I'd brought out to comfort me. It ate and ate. then I looked down and saw several more looking around sort of hi:np"v-lh. n c OW tell us another!" exclaimed the children as they sat around ! the dinner table and eagerly B M beaded for more and more ones.

But Ned s big brother was different. Perhaps because he had been su h a long time get'ing home and the hard part of the war wasn't talked about so much. For after the war ended. John, that was Ned's big brother's name, went to work over in France and only a few days azo. much more than two years after his friends and mates had come home, did he come back to the family circle.

"Well, I declare," exclaimed Loul. "They are cute little critters." "Yes, but very weak In the legs," Dorothy sighed. "I picked one up over there, see hit;;? He's crippled, and I've named hm Hippity-hop." "What'd call the o'hurs?" "Oh, there s Hob and Herman with whl'e marks on them and those two littie ones are I.lghtfoot and Sam." "What are you going to do with them?" I.ouis wanted to know. "Just keep them for pets." answered his sister. "I've been reading a lot about them and I'm worried about poor Hippity-hop 'cause now that he's lost one leg he may be hard of hear ing." Why?" asked Louis.

Perhaps you might think that even John might run out of stories at that rate, but it wouldn't have mattered if he did. for the chil dren l.k;d to hear them over again almost as well as they liked a new one. On this particular evening. John sat very still for a minuie anil then he t m: m a- t MM I Listened Aunln An;l Again 1 Heard II said thoughtfully, "ImI I tell you about the time 1 was on lutenliig post dut7" - - "No." answered Ted eagerly, "what's a listening post?" J "A II.sieri.iit' post was a hole In the ground s..rt of a pit. 1 suppose you I would call It." replied John. "And a j man would be posted in each pit to! listen for sounds from ths enemy." j "But how could you hear anyinlng in a pit?" asked Ned. wunderir.gly. , "Through a telephne," answered ' john. ll.ere wtis in the hoitom of each post ior pit) a ruriom looking little instrumeiii round and fl.u i,iin a funny lit'Ie top.

"I wouldn't sell dear old Monnie : and he's the only house cricket, the others are Held crickets, and don't llkw it indoors so much," replied Doro thy. "Well, let's get a 'ew more for our own fun," cried I.ouis, snatching up his hat. "I'll go right over to the .Monument and find me a cricket. Whereabouts did you find Monnle? 1 mink I d like to have one of my own." Doroihy squeezed her brother's arm and made a queer answer to his ques tion. She said: "Oh, Louis.

Hl'he drawing shows a handle 0 made of round stock, but If this Is not available, a piece of square stock may be used. In which case, however, the rorners should be round ed as well as possible with a Jack knife. It will be noticed, also, that the cross piece at the end of the handle sets Into the latter slightly. It Is not necessary that It be made In this manner, though the finished piece looks better this way. If desired, the cross piece may be fastened without especially forming cither piece to ob tain a flu The making of the rart B will be the hardest part of the problem. This should be made of heavy galvanised Iron for the best results. The pattern Is show In the lower right hand corner. Get out the stock first to the ovenill dimenlons, th'n mark out the patterns according to the measure ments shown. Note particularly the full and the dotted lines. The cutting Is :o be done on the full lines, being careful not to go beyond the points indicated. The patterns should then he bent along the lines shown dotted.

And pretty soon U stopped. "I forgot all about It and for an hour all was still as a church mouse. "Then suddenly I heard the words, 'ever get lonesome? Why don't you answer back ?' " "No, 1 didn't really hear the words, the real words; but those words came to me. And then that tapping began again. I got really bothered. Then suddenly, just like a flash I knew what It was. Of course! Stupid! Why hadn't I thought of It! , 'The chap In the next listening post knew the Morse tehraph code and, hoping that I would know It too, he was tapping lightly on his listening phone a conversation to me." "But how did you know the letters, John?" asked Ted. "You never were a tel-grapher." "Right you are son, I never was," asteed John. "But one summer when 1 was a kid I learned tho Morse rode, and I never used It till that night. That was why I was so slow 'getting on' to what he was doing." "And after that did you and the other soldier talk back and forth all the time?" asked Aileen. "We did not," laughed John, "we'd have been thrown In Jail if we had! No, those wires were for more important business and we knew enough to let them alone. But once In a while, when the night was very dark and when we were very lonesome, we would say a sentence back and forth." "Well," said Ted wllh a big sigh as John went off to read, "I didn't know what I could do this summer. But now I know. I'm going to learn that Morse code so If ever there's another war or anything like that, I'll know how to send messages too." poem written while at college and iwo yiars ufier thut, when he was I but iwenty years of age he published j his first Independent volume of poems.

He was appointed Poet laureate of Kngland. and that same year at the age of forty he married. His life wits not without Its early struggles, but once success came his way his future happiness was assured. He sottlrd after his, marriage In a beautiful country estate and spent his days weaving musical words together s to form beautiful verses. He was elevated to tha peer age as Baron Tennyson, of Freshwa ter, and Aldworth, the counties In which he lived, and he ruled the lit erary worli of his day as an undis puted monarch of verse.
