-THE LAST
*STR4«/‘
W HKGZT was a sparrow, a very
big and strong and more than
ordinary cunning specimen of
that cunning tribe, and he waa rather
proud of himself, from his light waist
coat and high clack cravat to the beau
tiful browns of his back and the big
ness of his heavy thick beak, but he
was not proud of the wheeze which had
given him his “nick” name. It was
a distinct disadvantage in the wild. It
drew the attention of his enemies too
hiuch to him; made him too oonsnlru-
ou*
He discovered that someone was feel
ing the tits and robins and ^rrens out
side the backdoor. He promptly left off
chirping—he could not leave off wheez
ing—and started. And the more he
stared the more surprise took hold of
him.
A fieldfare—one of those big, very
pretty thrushes that have an odd,
laughing cry, and because they only
come to see us in the winter are as
sociated in our minds with frost and '
snow—driven to desperation by hun- # *
ger, flew down to a big piece of bread
hat had fallen near a laurel bush.
That was the surprise. Andy of the .
puffed-out bird, assembled there in that
white and bitter scene, could have told
him what would happen if he settled
near that bush when the birds were
being fed.
Next instant that fieldfare was dead ‘
—slain by the paw and jaw of the
ginger” cat. who always hid in that
laurel when the birds were being fed,
and was none the richer, as a rule,
since the birds kept carefully out of
i3 reach.
More Than a Meal.
Then did Wheezy move. He dropped
Instantly like a stone with almost com
pletely closed wings, in that extraor
dinary way which sparrows have, and
f to share with no other birds, and
landed upon the bread, to snatch up
i which, under the dreaded “ginger’s”
very whiskers, and remove at top speed
or the orchard. The piece of bread
was a big one, a beautiful lump of
■ umb, a little larger than a walnut.
It was a meal for half a day or more.
Then he sat on a low bough, just
above a trap, and set up that peculiar
low and wicked chirping which you
may hear when a sparrow curses you,
or the next-door neighbor’s cat.
The swearing of the sparrow is a
very monstrous and annoying sound. It
annoyed the cock-robin who owned that
particular corner of the garden, and
with the robin’s usual dashing intoler
ance. he flow straight at Wheezy,
nearly knocking that bird off his perch,
and sending him to the top of another
1 tree near by. After which, the robin
perched on the bough so bravely won,
and sang his song of victory.
But in the middle of It he stopped
short. His full, clear eye had* fallen
upon the raisins within the trap, and k
he liked raisins, and really knew noth- *
ing at all about traps, # for robins are
trusting birds. Next moment, he flew
down and hopped inside, and—well, the
top brick came down, and the next time
poor robin issued from the trap was
when the gardener came round ten mln-
; utes later to lock up his sheds for the>
night, and then the robin was dead.
Wheezy sat on in his tree top and *
1 chirped.
The gardener, however, swore. Also
he scratched Jjis head, and in his tem
per scattered the bricks of the trap. His
master and mistres, you see. loved roll
ings and hated sparrows, and things
might go badly with him if he were
caught slaying robins. So he went away
to hide his victim somewhere—In a
rat's hole, I think—and when he came
back a fat litle cock-sparrow coolly
flew up from among the remnants of the
trap and departed wheezing.
There were no raisins left, and it was
clear that poor cock-robin had had no
time to eat them before he died.
