Pat, tiptoeing from the rose-bed, called in a loud whisper and beckokned to his brothers and his sister. Nat -flew across the lawn, followed by 1ill and 'PI1.' "Sh-sh-sh," Pat warned as the chil dren drew near and he led them, again on .ti:toe, toward the rQse-bed and signed to them to kneel at its edge. It was a cloudy day, soft and gray, but not raining. The low branches of a big rosebush made a shadow of dark er gray and In that shadow sat a fat, old toad. -Across his shoulders was a spot of very bright green, but all around his forelegs was what looked like a heavy gray material, all wrink'led up. "How funny--" Nat started to whis per, but Pat put a finger oii his lips and signed to him to watch loppy-the Toad. Hoppy -put his right foot in his mouth and lie tugged and lie pulled and hei pulled and he tugged, and off came all of the wrinkled old gray material that was around his right foreleag. Then le put his left foot In his mouth and lie tugged and lie ipulled and lie pulled and lie tugged, and off came all the wrinkled old gray material that was around his left foreleg. And there was loppy, all dressed ill) In a brand-new suit of clothes. iNow what do you suppose Hoppy the-Toad (lid with his old clothes? He didn't have them .lying around so that his poor, tired mother 'would come along, by-and-by, and have to say, "0, I am so tired of picking up after that child." But there was no closet un der the rose bush, nor any nice little tacks on the garden wall, nor even a little clothes-hamper where lie could throw his cast-off coat and trousers. So, what do you s'pose he did He ate 'em up! 'Yes, sir. That's what the toad al ways does. And Nat and Pat and Bill nd Li1, who live in the HIlajppy House and play in the Gay Garden that str rounds it, sa whim do it. And so can you, on any nice, coollf:h, grayish day, just before It rains, or early any ev ening, when the sun goes down. "Itsn't he beautiful " whispered pat. All the other children nodded, and floppy-the-Toad admired himself, first over his left shoulder and then over his right. 'He, too, thought himself quito beautiful in his nice new coat and trousers, and so lie winked his heavy eyes at the four nice children and this is what he seemed to say to them: "Now! I'd .best get busy and work for you nice children, who never hurt me, nor any of my kinl-folks. And so I'll go help you ill your garden, be cause if I didn't hllp you, you kn11ow,l you would never have any vegetables nor flowers, nor plants of any kind." And away lie hopped, to work for Pat and Nat and Bill and %Li, 'because thley were so good to him. Hloppy wyill help yeou, too, if you will let .hii, and this is the way thlat lhe wvill do it: There are a great many insects that are not good for gardens. 'rhey eat our young, green leaves; they cut our bab~y ivlanits down at the base; they lag eggs by the hlundreds in the buds ;be fore they came .to flower4 And these eggs hatch out and the young grub that conmes from the egg eats his way from the inside to the outside of our vege tables and our friut and our rose-bios somus. You may work In youri gardenl till your back seems 'broken and your hands are iblistered, and you can't catch all these insects. 'Hoppy-the-TOad can. That's his 'business. Watch him seome day, wvhen the sun is not too bright, or watch him, as did the children of the GIappy Hlouse, u~n der' the shadow of low-hanging bhushes on soft, gray days. See him there, never winking, never blinking, novelr moving., Suddenly the tiny .fingers resting oni the gr'oud, will quiver .like lightning aiid then the lit tie hand 'darts to his nose and seems to sec'atchi very fast andl very furious ly. It 's ver'y funny, but you mustn't laugh, for that might startioefloppy, and wvhien lie makes those little ges tures it always 'nimeans that lie has seen a bug. Then, suddenly his mouth opens and out conmes his tongue, anid in it goes again, and Hloppy is swallowving hlard(, 4efore you've even haid time to see the buy hie caughrt. Buat he caught it, on the end' of that tiny tongue, on ;which Is a sticky suibstance, something like glde, to which the sitgall buy tslcks the moment that small tongue touches It. Yeol can hover imagine how many bgs they eat-thOse fulnny little fel -ws. Once upon a time ther'e was a toad 110, at one meal, ate seventy-seven thiings-allegl ayiapoda (that's the growvn-upi-word for a' thousand-legged worm), The brother of that toad made hiis diner off of sixty-five gyoay moth catt pillars-'the kind that causes so inuch ,4amage to our trees. And a lit-' S BEST FRIEND n Our Dumb Anima)s tle sister of these two toads ate nearly one hundred house-flies at one meal! loppy-the-Toad and his sisters and his cousins and his brothers and his uncles and his aunts all work at night, -while you are sleeping In your bed. And, long before you think of getting up in the morning. Hop.y and all his relatives are busy in your garden and in your orchard, devouring caterpil lars, for they do not even mind those hairy, creepy, crawly things-and they cat 'em alive, as they eat all the other insects. For Hloppy-the-Toad is a good sport. IHe will not tackle anything that can not fight back. Ile catches only live things. A cuning cut-worm may play (lead and Hupy lets him alone. But the cut-worm seldom gets a chance to do this. He is not nearly so quick as are tloppy's bright eyes and slender tongue. So, boys and girls, remember this: If you watn a garden this summer, no matter -how hard you work, nor how hard the hired man works, all that work twill be of little value without the help of these little Four-legged (Hired Men, Hoppy-the-Toad, and all his kin.
