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.

To Avoid A Breach.
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.? CharlestooPost.
