I think I acted mannerly, for when I I came away , _ The lady who Is mother there said, Come j again some day." I walked till 1 was almost home, and then 1 could not wait, .'{ For there was mother standing Just Inside J the little gate. The windows and the wide front door seemed smiling down at me. There was a very friendly look about the ^ apple tree. The cat came rubbing at my feet; ehe , had not changed at all. . The hollyhocks looked happy, and the roses on the wall. 1 The little chickens chirped and scratched about our bantam hen. ' The lovely part of visiting is coming 1 home again! , i —Youth's Companion. -■* Marble Games. fcl Every boy liken to play a good game of marbles. Here la one that perhapa ^ you do not know. Do you know one 3 called “bounce eye?" It Is played by'Jj several boys, each of whom puts down a tnHrble in a small ring. One player J then stands In a perpendicular posi tion over the cluster of marbles, and, taking his own bounce In bis band, lets It fall from his eye on to the heap, and those forced out of the ring by this method nre considered won. If he does not succeed In this and hla marble falls within the ring. It belongs to the common stock and Is there Im pounded. There Is another game called "con queror," which Is extensively played In some places. A piece of bard ground, free from stones, Is chosen for the spot. The first player lays his marble on the ground, and the second j throws his own at It with all his force . and endeavors to break It If he sue- -j ceeds his marble counts one and the j vanquished player lays down another , marble. If two players have marbles i that have already vanquished others I the "conqueror" counts all the con- quered ot the other party in addition | to his own. For example, suppose A, '] being conqueror of twenty, breaks B, | also a conqueror of twenty, A counts j forty-one—I. e., twenty of his own, , twenty of the vanquished belonging to [ B and one for B. Taking Pictures. \ It is necessary to have two persons know howto play this game. Some code signal la agreed upon to help dis tinguish the original of the picture. One of the two leaves the room, while the other takes the picture of another of the guests, which ie done by holding a spoon or some article with a polished surface before the guest’s face whose picture Is to be taken. When this Is done the one outside is called in. given the article used to take the picture, told to look at it and tell whose likeness it Is. In a short time it is guessed correctly. This Is repeated with the same result, causing much surprise among tne guests. Should any one ot those whose pic tures are being taken think he sees through the methods employed he may have a trial, hut in all probability will fail. The trick is that the "photographer” assumes exactly the same attitude as that of the person whose picture he has taken. The Song Sparrow. The song sparrow is one of the birds that build their nests on the ground. Do you know him—a little bird, gray and brown streaked above and a white breast covered with brown spots and stripes'* Have you seen him sitting on a fence or bush and heard his rollick ing song? The song sparrow is com mon all over the United States. From Maine to California and from Oregon to Florida he slugs hnpplly six months out of the year. A regular scout, be sneaks along the side of a stream and appears at u distance like magic. He is equally skillful In hiding his nest Completely covered by a tuft of grass, we would almost step on It before we found It We may truly wonder bow the song sparrow can And it himself, but perhaps his eyes are brighter than ours. The four or flve eggs are small and heavily spotted with brown, so that they, too, are hard to see. Mamma—What In t*e world Is malt ing the baby cry so, I wonder?"
