M/t! ‘ Y ThK were i^i p05ClV/ELV^ -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. A Rat Climbing. ITS K'lHOA (?ou6H on ToM 8PT HE'$ <SoT RECUPERATIVE.

TAKE ASLANT IN To-^ORRJU'j PAPER That night Wheezy roosted in thi j th| ck ivy which clung to the southwes side of the house.

It was still snowinf slightly, and was very still. Nor was it dark. True, there was nr | nioon, but the snow made up for th< moon, so you could distinctly se, frorr time to time, the shadow form of a rat, hopping across the open from bucF to bush. Suddenly a rustling noise sounded at the base of the ivy. Gradually it began to move upward Inch by inch it rose, till soon it was five feet from the ground, and still go ing higher. It was a rat climbing.
