Ray waa looking out of the window, watching the snowbirds hopping about under the trees, looking for some of the crumba he had thrown out that morning. "Auntie, he naked, "where do all the other birds go when the anow comes the swallows and the bluebirds and the robins? Where do the robins go?" "Come here, dear," said Aunt Bess, "and Ill tell you what I saw last winter when I was In southern California. Ray came, and the other children. Jack and Daisy and little Ted, left their play and came, too, for they were always ready to hear Aunt Bessie's stories, and especially ones about California. Auntie lifted Teddy upon her lap and began: "One morning In February, when the sun was bright and warm, I was out In the yard picking an orange, when I heard a queer little noise near me. It seemed to come from a big pepper-tre- e that stood there, and sounded like two things like pattering on the ground and up In the tree. "While I was wondering what It could be, suddenly there waa a 'chirrup!' that sounded very familiar, and I said, Why, theyre robins, eating the !' And sure enough, there they were, a big flock of them, picking away, and that made the popping, and the berries they dropped made the are tiny, round, "The pepper-berriIn bunches, that balls red grow bright something like grapes, and taste like our black pepper; and how the robins were eating them! Perhaps they needed something to warm them after their long Journey from the north. "I know! said Jack, "peppers good for chickens, and maybe it la for robins, too. said auntie. "Well, all "Perhaps, at once there waa a great whir and clatter, and there came a big gray mocking-bir- d right In among them! That was his own particular tree, where he always sat to sing his morning song, and he didn't propose to hare robins taking possession and eating up his berries! So the selfish fellow flew at first one and then another, chattering and scolding, and drove them all away." "Did they stay away? asked Daisy. "No, Indeed! When they found it was only a harmless mocker they came back In spite of him and went on with their feast: and when he found he couldn't drive them off, he flew away, scolding. "They stayed about all winter, singing their morning and evening songs In the peppers and the tall eucalyptus-tree- s, Just as they do In the summer here; but when the spring came, all at once they were gone, and we knew they had flown away to spend the summer In their northern home. "So that, Ray, Is where some of the robins go when the cold weather and ps ng pepper-berries- rain-drop- s. es the snow come. The children were silent a moment, and then little Ted asked, soberly: "Auntie Ress. do you s'pose Its eating the red pepper-berrithat makes their ureasts so red? HELEN LOUISA DTAR. A i i Tl of Fiieay-Wllln- uth there? One cold day soon after this mamma was busy and Pearl stood In the parlor with her little again nose pressed against the window, watching the house Into which the new neighbors had moved, when a little curly head bobbed up at the opposite window, and the bright face of a little boy smiled across at her. Then Pearl smiled, too. "I must bring Victoria Jane and Fluffy to see that nice little boy, she said, and hurried off to get them, and soon they were perched up by her side at the window. The little boy greeted the newcomers with a smile, and then disappeared, but returned soon and arranged a company of soldiers on the window-sil- l, and held up a little white up-stai- rs, rabbit Then Pearl and the little boy changed pleasant smiles; the soldiers Vicmarched across the wlndow-sll- l; toria Jane silently looked on; the rabbit raised his ears and Fluffy barked. And then Into Pearl's busy little brain came a thought and away she ran, and returned with her alphabet blocks. Then against the window she spelled with the blocks, PEARL. Once more the little curly head opposite disappeared, and when he returned he spelled with his block against the window, HARRY. All through that winter Pearl and Harry played together although the street separated them, and they lived in different houses. In the window on one side were arranged day after day the different toys of a little girl, and In the window opposite those of a little boy, and mamma did not hear her little girl say again all that winter that she was lonesome.

It was evident from his manner that he was looking for some place or some person, and was scanning the numbers of the houses as he walked along.
