forth his melody from the top of some
high tree to his nesting mate below.
His song, says Harper's Young Peo-

lay in delaying the attack until Well

wished. Tie was, as usual, equal 70
the occasion. Waving his hat IN the
air he galloped to the front Of q regi-
ment as il he meant 70 order a charge.

the biggest cases ever tried in

that people came in from the country in
;he moruiug and listened 10 the proceed
ings till adjournment. The case will be
