The owl had heard t <rf them slngt while he was haif ug in his doorway, and already a pretty fair idea who amoug them \y could .sink', and those who only ght they could sing.

When the last t had died away, and the great as jhly sat entranced," the owl forgot Itter his "hoot-to-toot," but simply punced: "For purtty of tone, and ! jtless rendition, we rank you first ! f.

But after they had all sung their best, they only ranked as second, when Compared with the lurk. When It seemed that all the birds had been "to, .t ho front and had their chance, ami when tin* meet lug was about to disperse, a slim, gray bird, with a manner sweet ami shy. came nervously forward, opunod wide his throat, but no sound same forth the i^?or bird was tongue- -tied!" "lliH>t to- hoot" cried the owl, "this is a dls grace to everything. that wears feuth era! and, my decree Is, that f??r all times he shall be the slave of other birds!" Turning to the lark he said: "To you I give this miserable creature, who falls to utter :i note, to be your 'slave, and do youi work, so you will have nothing to do the livelong day. but *l"g your foeuutlful songs!" Sad wan the life of that silent gray bird, as be tolled from morning until night I catching crickets for his silver tong ued mistress. Hut all the while she was collecting sth'ks and grass for her nest, he was relating over and over again In his head, the wonderful notes that dripped like honey from her beak One day the lark was seized with a sudden sickness, and was too weak to leave her nest: As she lay gasping and panting for breath, a roblnredbrenst flew by, holding in his bill, a twig load ed with ripe, red cherries. The poor lark bogged him to give her the lus cious fruit, as she was dying from thirst. For one slugl** cherry she of fered to give her faithful slave. So the sad, grey bird changed masters, and worked from crack of day until sunset, hunting grubs, and gathering sticks for the red-vested master. But his work was made lighter by, the sweet toned, "Cheer up! Cheer up!" of the robins' song. In his heart he treasur ed all tho thrills and quavers of his master'* voice; and, sometimes, even I at night, would wake to repeat them again and again. The fame of this faithful servant spread far and wldp. ! ind he was sold to many mnsters. But no matter to whom he belonged, while faithfully performing Ills ardous tasks he listened with delight to the songs he heard, and treasured them all in his memory. The. blue-jay bought him and then the wren. The wren traded him to the cuckoo, who In turn, sold him to the crow. Pulling up corn was the hardest work he had ever done, but so "faithful, sweet aud kind was he," that the crow taught him how to caw, and how to give the call that meant, "Here's an owl! nere's an owl J" With his e?r9 to evftry sound, be It harsh or mellow, he was very happy. At last he came Into the [K>ssesslon of a mean old, bad temper ed sparrow hawk, who treated him shamefully. When the silent gray bird failed to catch mice and sparrows for his cruel master, he was beaten and peeked, until it a?emed he would die., one day the sparrow hawk thought him dead and flew away.- The poor grey bird dragged his weak aml bruised body to a little stream, think ing to quendh his burning thirst. As the first drops trickled down his throat he opened his mouth to fclve, thanks to the Creator for the cooling draught, jvhen, lo I a burst of melody, ? such as the world had never heard, poured from the throat, that heretofore, had been silent. His tongue was loosfened. and all the songs of all his came tumbling over each other, in th^ wild medley, that has won for him the name of mockingbird. All the days of drudgery and hardship were but golden opportunities for picking up a scrap of melody here and there to add to his repertoire. So every hour of wearlnes. -vns but another bead added to his ros uryyfsong. On that glorious day when all the woodlands jechoed and re 'H'hoed, with the marVelous song7 thfc '?lrds all wished him for their own, and his latest master, the sparrow hawk, cried out; "He's mine! He's mine! I will have him!"}The owl rose up and with many a "hoot," and many a "toot," celled out, that a bird with' so wonder ful a gift of song, should be the sltfve Of, no one, but forever "should be free, and, more than that, he made a decree that whenever the Volee^ of the mocking bird was heard, all should bold their tongues and silently stand, to .show their reverence and respect for one who could pass through years of hardships ! and slavery and still, retain a kindly gentle spirit, and a heart free ffom bit terness. So it happens, to this very day, when a< jnocklngblrd flings his son/? oh the sutamer air, other birds I keep silent ? C. JL David in the Green- ' vllle News. T REMBERTS NEWS NOTES. Remberts, S.

The report from Berlin, said to have been made by Ambassador Ge rard, that the German government will "go to great lengths" to avoid a breach with the United States over the submarine controversy Is easy to believe. There Is no thought that Ger many desires to enroll thin, country in the catalogue of her euemles, and there has never been a suspicion that the submarine warfare w*ts directed a gaiiist Americans, tho Incidental char acter of Its Injury to them being fully admitted though not, perhaps, suffi ciently considered In the synthesis of the issue that has reached such high developments l?etwoen the two govern ments. "It Is readily understood that Germany woukl do much to preserve amltiable relations .wjltli tho United States. Hut the "certain concessions" Germany is said to be willing to make to satisfy tho demands of Washington do not come so easily to mind. It Is not a case for concessions at all. The United States Ls not asking Germany to recede from and insistent policy. On the contrary, no more ? thtough no less ? than a compliance with principles already agreed upon between the two governments and to the practice of which Germany ?flhs pledged itself In formal declarations is required by .the Unltod ..States. In stating that Ger many can not continue her present methods of submarine warfare and re tain amicable relations with the U nited States, President Wilson, in effect says that Germany is not keeping to the code she herself has subscribed to. A reaffirmation of that code and a scrupulous compliance with it is all that ls necessary, and no concession ls involved In that course. It is possible the Gorman government intends to de monstrate its adhesion to the code for an effective period and, in. reply to the "ultimatum" .disavow departure from it. There has been a marked fall ing submarine activity during the past ten days, the period of ex treme tension between the two gov ernments, and practically a cessation of it since the American note reached Berlin. This may be a coincidence but -ft may, also be design. If the latter, the German reply may point to the recent record as proof of its keeping of t^e pledges formerly given, (reassert its purpose to maintain them, and ad mitting errorjn the Sussex case, as It hns T^obabiy i^ft prepared to <Ib all along, satisfy all the demands that have been presented by Washington without entering upon any new en gagements for restraint of the subma^ rine in the face of strong popular in fatuation for that engine of war. Thereafter it would depend, as It has always depended, upon practice rather than upon profession whether or not the two governments can keep "upon working terms, with tlw difference now that the first departure from a rigidly defined conduct would probably operate automatically to break friendly rela tions. The whple affair to simple enough ? save for the jingoes of Ger many, among whom, perhaps, are some of the U-boat commanders. At the same time, too much opti mism-should not be released by the encouraging reports from Berlin. It '?111 be better to await. the receipt of the format reply to President Wilson's 'atest note and a more conclusive de monstration of modified submarine warfare. Experience has Shown that rumors of satisfactory utterances from Berlin have not always been justified sy perusal of the text of the note fol lowing. The situation Is exceedingly 'ense and full ot dangerous possibili ties, and the American public should -tot deceive it as to the gravity of the 'ssue, nor neglect to canvass Its own Msnosttion and Its plain 4nty as to the ultimate possibilities.?
