You 3Ay cz~ 'S0M%rW/AJG,* Y'NEAR M€H > \UOU\V, ‘SOMFTnwc, (H -AjW' a ( SO/METH/A)S ) W HEEZY was a sparrow, & 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 much to him; made him too oonspicu- 0U5. He discovered that someone was feed ing the tits and robins and wrens 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 an<V snow—driven to desperation by hun ger, flew down to a big piece of bread i.at 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. I Next instant that fieldfare was deaV —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 is reach. ]Vtore 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 af to share with no other birds, and landed upon the bread, to snatch - up 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 t ie 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 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 fall*?/ upon the raisins within the trap, an-i 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 min utes later to lock up his sheds for the' night, and then the. robin was dead.' Wheezy sat on in his tree top arVl chirped. The gardener, however, swore. Also he scratched his head, and in his tern- SOMETH IMG HAW ft. T) HAM fe - L. I6AJAT2 ^SuaaTThi^) MAKE.
