THE other day number Of gentlemen
were sitting in the detectives room in
the City Hall. when an. English sparrow
iicw neal the window, peepcd in and
darted away again. Captain Holzworth.
who saw the little fellow. said that
whenever he saw a sparrow il remind
ed him of "A little scene which occurred
IN his yard one cold day last winter.
The sparrows. IL seems. ascertained the.
fact that there was a knot-hole in the

wife, like the balance of the ladies', has
q warm spot in her heart for birds. SO
when the ground was covered with
snow. and the little fellows ran a risk Of
starving to death. Mrs. III. would sweep
away the snow and spread upon the
ground a fine repast OF crumbs. The
sparrows soon learned 70 depend upon
her. and told their friends what a line
landladv they had. The consequences
were hundreds Of them congregated
daily about the Captains house and
pat t0Vk VI Ills IlAAlAN. &lV-t W lAt
spot where the birds were usually fed
was a pile Of bricks. and upon this pile
the Captains cherished mouscr used to
station herself for the purpose Of watch
ing for prey. As soon as the birds
would get comfortably settled upon the
crumbs, the cat would pounce upon
them and invariably get a tender spar
row for dinner. Finally the birds be-
came accustomed TO the cats mode
Of procedure, and would be on
the watch whenever they were
feeding. They were SO alert
that the cat would hardly get ready for
a spring before they we're up in the air
and out of danger. One day they were
eating as usual, and the cat rs usual
was watching them. Like a bolt Of
lightning the jumped into their
midst, but they were too quick for her
and escaped unhurt. Mrs. Tabby. not
discouraged. mounted the pile Of bricks
again and awaited their return. The
sparrows, after flying about for some
time, finally settled upon the fence ut
the foot of the lot. where they held a
long and interesting confab. After
chattering away for several minutes
they cautiously returned 10 their
crumbs and resumed their eating. keep
ing all the while a sharp lookout for the
enemy. After the cat had become sat
isiied that they were too much interest

Of her, she made another spring. The
The birds were up in an instant, and
instead Of flying away as usual. they
formed themselves into n hollow square
and charged upon the foe. Some got
upon the cats back and scratched aud
picked with all their might; others flew
right into her face. while the balance
made 1t interesting in the rear. The
cat was so surprised al first that she
stood unable to move. The birds be-
came more and more Infatuated and

drove the foe down the garden path on
a full gallop and under the barn. They
returned to their feast and were left to
themselves the balance OF the winter,

put in an appearance. - Cleveland 20
