As soon "a he was sure no one could

and began TO pull his feathers where
upon this unlucky parrot set up a great
shrieking and all the servants I'm the
house rushed in. The boy was reproved
and sent home. but Ned never forgot
that insult. and ever afterwards would
cover down in his cage when he heard a
child's voice.

he would be more than satisfied to see

There is no doubl but that the Senator
