He was found in Oscar Peal's saloon, but

ReDrehensibIe Conduct Of Un Eng
lSsk Sp0rrO9C.


On the authority of Fl lend who had
it direct from the party who witnessed
the occurrence, the Hartford Times
tells a remarkable story of an English
sparrow, as related by a gentleman in
New York, who last spring caused to
be erected in his back yard a large
box for sparrows' nests. 1t was divi-
ded into three rows, each containing
four compartments. These were all
speedily taken possession of by dozen
of pairs of sparrows, and the business
of making nests proceeded amid the
customary chippering din OF these
fancy and pugnacious feathered colon
lists Sitting idly at the window one
Sunday, watching the birds, the gen.
tleman saw one cock-sparrow come
flving to his place with a fine, soft
white feather in his bill. The box
was so placed that he could see into
the compartments, and he saw this
bird fix the feather into an incomplete
nest, and then fly away. No sooner
was he out of sight than female
sparrow from the adjoining compart-
ment, who had evidently seen the
proceeding, hoped into her neighbours
house and pulled out and carried off
the coveted feather. Becoming inter-
ested, the observer watched the per-
formance, expecting to see the little
thief carry her stolen prize to her own
nest but no :; she knew a trick worth
two of that, and here is where she
displayed an undeniable reasoning
process and acted upon a clear perccp-
ton of cause and affect, making
prudent use of her knowledge of the
character and disposition of her plum
dered neigh Dor. She few off with the
feather TO a neighboring tree, where she
securely fastened it in an inconspicuous
place upon and between two twigs, and
there left it. Pretty soon the bird she
hao defrauded came back with a straw
to add TO his nest. Discovering his
loss he came out with an angry CHR
ruping that BODIED no good to the
destroyer of his hearth and home if he
could only find the rogue His first
demonstration was to visit his next
door neighbor without any search
warrant. In that abode of peace and
innocence he found no trace of the
stolen feather; and as for the actually
guilty party, she was hopping limo
Gently about, and loudly demanding
as far as bird tones could be understood
bv the man at the window-what was
meant 10y this ungentlemanly intrusion.
The cock-sparrow was evidently puz-
zled. Unable, after a minutes search
to find the lost feather, he apparently
gave il up and flew away in search of
another. The ;hief demurely waited
till he had got well off, and then flew
to the tree, secured the stolen feather
and took it in triumph to her own nest.
