Luke Phone 78 W. z; " c ( E « )t I How delighted they were and how Jeannie hustled around picking up I their clippings and tidying Jock’s bed. Presently Grandad himself came in lwith a big parcel which Jeannie eag- «erly unwrapped. It was a table for [Jock’s bed, such a funny table with legs less than a foot long. It was light but strong and had a little rim {around the edge to keep thnigs from isliding off. I “There,” said Grandad as he put it Tin position across Jock’s legs, “that will hold all the books and clippings, I and the meals too if you can be prop- lped up high enough." '~ Jlock’s'broken leg was mending nic- 1er but oh, he was so tired of lying in bed. It had rained every day for a.- week so Jeannie hadn’t been able rto go out and get wild flowers or 'butterflies for him. They had looked at all their picture books and Moth- er had read them stories; they had played all their games; they had cut out paper dols and they had colored magazine pictures; they had strung beads and sewed kindergarten cards and yet the time seemed to pass so slowly. .And, Worst of all, Grandad had been away all week. 7 Aunt Madge popped her head in at‘ the door. ' “Good news, Twinnies,” she said “Grandad is coming up the lane.” _ “Well,” Grandad began)“when bro- ther Jim and I were just a little bit older than you are now we were play- ing one day in the bush behind the school. We came to a high pine stump which the year before had been the home of a family of wood- peckers and we whacked the stump with a stick to see if there was a'ny- one home. Out of the top of the stump sailed somethingâ€"not a wood- pecker but a mother flying squirrel. We tried to climb up to peep in the nest and down came the whole thing nest, baby squirrels and all.‘ There were three of them and we’carried them home carefully and made a soft nest for\them in an old bird cage; We fed t’hem warm)milk with a medâ€"i icine dropper and they grew splen-Il -â€"â€"...._.â€"..__-â€"- didly and becamelquite tame. They aren’t like other‘squirrels, they sleep all day and come out to hunt and pIa/y at night. So every evening we would open the cage fieor and let them out for a game. Up the curâ€" .tainsthey would scamper and spread- ing.their “vslings’7 would sail down to our shoulders. Then'there would be a hunt through our pockets‘for bits oflbread and cake, and then up the curtains again and away. You know from your picture books what their wings are likeâ€"just a piece of skin stretched from each front leg to each hind leg and folded up tight when no): in use. Some people think they have real wings sprouting from their sho- ulderâ€"blades 1 “Oh Grandad,” said Jeannie climb- ing on his knee, “we have missed you terribly. Do tell us a stary.” Grandad laughed. “Why you know all my stories as well as I do. Which one shall it be?” “About the flying squirrels, please.” said Jock, “a squirrel came up on the Window sill this morning and it made us think about them.” One night after their game we could‘only find two of them. Then we found old Sooty, the barn cat, under the\sofa and knew he must have eaten our other pet. 7 The ysay that every wild animal meets a tragic end.

She fed them fat pork one day and when we come home the next morning there was nothing left but a funeral. We were so sorry that we hadn’t let them go in the woods and given them a chance for life and liberty.” “Thank you for the story,” _said Jeannie, “just as soon walk we‘ are going to see if we can find When Grandad Was a Boy. squirre x A ‘Vorried Darkey It was a revival in a southern Church.

No really clever people are bored with life. Much of course depends upon health‘, but much more upon the mind. Naturally if the principle concerns of a person’s life have been eating, sleeping and dressing, old age will not yield a fruitful crop, but will. be bereft of its 'greatest consolations. By far‘the best way to conserve in old age is to prepare for it in youth by cultivating a vigor- ous, interested impressionable mind. What hope for any- one' in old age whose brains have become petrified at forty? we all reach out fer love; we all long to be loved in some way or 0t er: and indeed in as many Ways as poss- ible. A miserabe, discontented old woman is seldom loved; yet on the other hand there are few better ,cgunsellors in We cannot warm our hands at the fire of life all the time and it is a mercy we cannot. Peace follows yearning and in our declining years our ambitions and hopes and longings grow far less insistent. We have entered the ha- ven.‘ We cease to dread old age when we have reached it. The eager silent waiting for adventure has passed; our boat is safely tied to its moorings. Q This all sounds very dull, perhaps. But the boredom associated by youth with old age is’ not. an inexorable pen- alty by any means and many women over seventy are far more interested in life than they were at twenty-five. It is foolish of women to regret growing old. The al.1- tumn of a woman’s life may be her‘happiest. Financial troubles, if they ever existed, will most likely be less; chil- dren are usually settled in life. and grandchildren are an amusement and an interest without beipg a responsibility. Old age has joys which youth never dreams of, and what- ever may be said in praise of the ardent emotions of youth â€"and often middle ageâ€" they are fraught with stress and torment. r the many tangles of life than a thoughtful, iri’celligent warm hearted old woman who has lived and lokled and who has given her‘mental life a chance to develop as well as her physical life. ' n 1... So do not fear the grey hairs and wrinkles of old age. The grey hair is but as the autumn c‘bloring of the leaf and the Wrinkles are the unavoidable tracery of Time. The only real and lasting beauty is beauty of mind and charac- ter and if the proper foundation is laid in youth this will in- crease rather than decrease with the years.
