picion of the trouble they were caUs-
ing, worked away as happy as birds
could be, until one morning when Mr.
Oriole poured forth an unusually tri-
umphant song. Mr.. Catbird could en-
dure it no longer. His Mocllingbird
blood grew hotter and hotter. and he
resolved to put that ''squawlling neigh
Dor" to everlasting shame. So he
sneakingly perched himself where he
could be heard but not seen, and ini-
tated exactly the notes which Mr..
Oriole had just sung, only at the end of
every strain he burst forth into the
most contemptuous, catlike meow,
meow" and then, to make the Oriole's
song seem more insignificant, he
poured forth such magnificent strains
that all Bird grove came out to listen
The Oriole family were in dismay.
They could not imagine what they had
done to merit such abuse, but they re-
solved to go right on with their house
as though nothing had happened.
Mr.. and Mrs. Catbird made their home
in the usual way, of course, dead
twigs, dry leaves and grass without
and tibrous roots within; but all the
while they We're making it they were
dissatisfied and We're trying to find
some way to give finish to it which
would fill Bird Grove with astonish-
ment. When the house was nearly
completed, Mr.. Catbird came home one
day with feathers rufiied and so eX-
cited he could scarcely speak. That
morning he was flying near house
when he saw a freshly ironed liner
collar lying on the ground under a
window. Not being posted in such
things, he supposed it vas a piece of
marble. The black characters on the
outside near the bottom only added to
its beauty. He resolved to capture it
for stone front to his house He
knew it would be stealing. but the
love of show had drowned the little
voice which tells brides what is right
and what is wrong. He told Mrs. Cat
bird the plan. and she agreed to help
him. After dark that night they went
quietly to the place. They both
trembled, and their hearts beat so
loudly that they We're afraid of awak-
ening the persons in the house. Mrs.
Catbird could scarcely keep from cry
ing, but her husband whispered: Just
think how those Orioles will feel when
they see our house with marble
facade" This gave them courage, and
they each took one end of the collar
and started home. 1t was heavy and
they could scarcely lift it, but, by rest
ing often, they at last carried it to the
spot. 1t was then too late to work any

| more. so, with aching hcarts-for it
was their first theft-they tucked their
heads under their wings and went to
sleep.
Early the next morning they were
! awake and ready for work. The
marble. as they called it, did not look
SO handsome as it did the night before,
| but they had gone too far to back out.
so they lifted 1t up to the nest and
placed it around the outside Mrs. Cat
bird held it in place while Mr.. Catbird
took long dried grasses and bound it
on. Ey the time the jewellers in Bird
Grove were stirring the work was done.
and Mr.. and Mrs. Catbird started out in
search of breakfast. When they re-
turned they saw that there was some
unusual excitement in the trees near
their home. On coming nearer they
saw a strange crowd. Several mem
bers of the Warbler family. Mr.. and
Mrs. Blue Jay, the despised Orioles,
Miss Pewee with her admirer tagging
close to her heels, the Buntings, and
many others We're talking in an excited
manner. \ noisy English Sparrow
was there making himself conspicuous
as newspaper reporter. A little apart
from the rest. not perching, but con-
tinually on the wing. was a Mr.. Hum
mingbird. who. though small, was a
well-knoWn architect. While the rest
We're talking he seemed to be making
a minute study of the curious dwelling
When Mr.. and Mrs. Catbird appeared
they We're greeted with Il food of ques-
tons. They were so pulled up with
pride that they disdaincd to answer so
the crowd soon broke up and went TO
their work.
The ver,s day after this new display
of pride, a gentleman and lady came
walking along near the bush where
this wonderful nest was built. The
lady, glancing up, said: Why. what is
that curious thing up there?" They
stopped, and after looking minute.
the gentleman burst out laughing and
replied: why, that is my collar.
There is the name, James McNab. on
the outside. That is an ingenious piece
OF work. All. my bird, we shall have to
make this our contribution to the Natur-
al History museum. If | can afford to
lose the collar, you can afford to give
up the nest. and you will be punished
for stealing besides" At this Mrs.
Catbird flew off the nest. Her terrified
mate joined her piercing cries, but the
man coolly tore down the nest and
walked off with it. Here they were,
just at the time when Mrs. Orioles
babies We're peepiEg out of the shell,
left without even home. They felt
very sad, but they knew it was a just
punishment for their pride ana theft.
They resolved to begin life anew, and
ever aftcrward to be contented with
their quietocolors and homely nest

Some of the experiences that have
overtaken maidens ambitious of be-
coming water spl!tes are very funny.
One young lady went down to the
waters edge with never a thought of
going in. She did not own a bathing
suit, but, becoming infatuated with the
looks of the sport, she determined tc
hire suit and sally forth. She picked
out a costume which she thought would
suit her size, and, bearing it off in haste
to compartment, proceeded to get into
it. What was her dismay when con.
fronted with the fact that it had no
stockings. To walk down the beach
barefooted was not to be thought of.
She had bright idea. She would wear
her own black hose, garter them firmly
about the knee and plunge in. This she
did with fine effect, and then after re.
suming the rest of her street costume
she hung her stocking on the rail while
she, with her feet thrust into her shoes,
sat like Turk in the sunburnt sand
until her duszy hose were dry! Another
girl in her hurry to get dressed aud re-
join her party forgot to take of her wet
stockings and fastened away from the
bath room leaving her dry ores there
by mistake. That she did net catch heI

love and toll. Nothing happened to
disturb their Joy till Mr.. and Mrs ORR
ole came to live in an elm tree near by.
They selected a long, graceful branch,
and in a fork far out from the trunk of
the tree began to build most artistic
and elegant home.
Mr.. Catbird, going out for a soar one
morning, caught sight of the new
corners as they were busily working on
the new house Their bright colored
garments, as they flashed in the sun,
sent thrill-not of pleasure, am sorry
to saT-Of jealousy to his heart lie
hurried home, and found modest little
Miss Pewee chatting with his wife. He
could not conceal his veXation till the
guest was gone. but burst forth: "WhO,
/ should like to know, are those fowls
who have just moved into the neighbor-
hood and are setting themselves up
above their neiThbors?"
Il believe" said Miss Pewce, that
they belong to the Blackbird family;
! met Sphinx Hobolini the other day
and he said that some of his relatives
We're going to move to Bird Grove
soon
Him broke ont Mrs. Catbird,
they have no reason to be stuck up on
account of family. The GracBles be
long to that family, and of all the
noisy, gossipy birds l know they are the
worst. Why. they are as common as
the vulgar crows. If you are going to
look to family to decide social stand
ing, | think zee shall have as good a
name as any. l suppose you know that
the mOcking- birds, who are the musical
prcdigies of the age, are closely con-
nected with us by family ties" Mrs,
Catbird was SO eloquent on this sub
ject that She could have chartered on
for an hour, had not Miss Pewee ven
tured to remark:
For my part, like these new neigh
bors. Their home promises to be
marvel of architecture. AS for fine
clothes, if they can afford to wear
them, am glad for it @ives me pleasure
to look at them: and their singing is so
fine, I am sure they are a great addi-
ton ito this ncighborhood." These re-
marks so netticd Mr.. and Mrs. Catbird
that they could not conceal their i'll
1eellnT. and. as young friend who had
been paying marked attention to Miss
Pewee happened along at that moment,
She sailed away with him.
While they were standing sulkily. with
tails dropping. wings hanging down,
and feathers not preered, thinking
what they could do to outshine those
o"iole upstairs, trim robin who had
been working earnestly for two hours
saw them. and. as they both looked as
though they were sick, he stopped to
see if he could be of service to them.
''Oh, no, said Mr.. Catbird. there's
nothing the matter with us: but what
do you think Of these new folks who
are Haunting out their wealth IN this
quiet place?'
Why" said Mr., Robin, . I called
on them yesterday and found them very
pleasant. unassuming people"
You dared to call. did you?" Mrs.
Catbird cried out. Il have felt that our
clothes We're not good enough. and
they would only look down on us.
Here Mr.. Catbird remarked: Our
