What the Raven Said.

As to the ravens power of speech, the
following story-which is given ON the
authority of Captain Brown, who
vouches for its truth-will show how
aptly it can talk:
A gentleman while travelling through
a wood in the south of England was
suddenly alarmed by hearing q shout of
"Fair play, gentlemen! fair play!' ut
tered very earnestly in loud tones. The
cry being repeated presently, the way
farer thought it must proceed from some
one in distress, and at once began a
search for him. In due course he came
upon a couple of ravens attacking a
third in a most brutal manner. He was
SO struck with the oppressed birds ap-
peal that he rescued it without delay.
1t turned out that the bullies' victim
was tame raven belonging to house
in the neighborhood. Happily it knew
how to use the catchwords it had so
adroitly learned. Little Folks Maga-
zine.
