year . heavy shower caught him while
he was fishing. From his retreat he kept
an eve out TO see whatever there was TO
be seen, and shortly after observed the
dragon flies. great and little, settling in
the tall brook grass for shelter from rain.
Before the shower WAS fairly over he saw
the cedar birds come and drive the dragon
flies from their covert, hunting them
down in all their lace winged finery.
The great three inch dragon flies, pointed
with black and yellow, were too strong
for the birds, but the little slender fell

green, blue and dusky-became meat foI
the hunters.
