of May Mr.. Turpin was getting ready to

while others were busy in trees building
nests After he had arranged his necktiO
to give the best effect he went to the cen.
ter table and began picking up his money,
but was not little surprised to find $40
bill missing. He thought that the wind
might have blown it on the floor, and h0
began looking there for it.
After a long time spent in vain he gave
up the search there. He then went out
into the yard and began hunting among
the flowers and grass for it, thinking that
it might have been blown through the open
window, but he had to go to that soiree
minus a $40 note.
Day before yesterday the severe wind.
storms blew robins nest out of tree
near the front porch. Mr.. Turpin picked
the nest up and was about to cast it away
when he noticed what seemed to be piece
of paper of peculiar color He examined it
and found it to be currency of some de-
nomination, but it was not until he had
carefully torn the nest apart that he dis.
covered it to be $40 bill. 1t was appar.

ago, a bird having flown into the room
and snatched up the money. The bill was
in pretty bad condition, but he redeemed
it at the treasury. Cincinnati Enquirer.
