The Anvil Bird.

AT dusk in the wilds of the gloomy
Brazilian forest you will think il
strange TO hear the clink Of a hammer
on an anvil. You would imagine that
you were approaching some settlement,
aud the picture of the rudy glow of
the forge would come up before your
eyes.
But if your guide were a native he
would tell you that the sound was made
by campanero, as they call it, although
to foreigners it is known as the anvil
bird.
This bird is a little larger than
thrush. The plumage is perfectly white,
the eyes are pale gray color, and the
naked throat and skin around the eyes
are of fine bright green, while its
more northerly relative is orange and
black, very much like our oriole.
1t is generally in the early part of the
day that the campanero sends forth the
wonderful note than can be heard at a
distance Of three miles. Marvellous in
deed must be the mechanism of the vo-
cal organs of so small a bird to produce
so farreaching a note, but there is no
doubt of the fact, for many travellers
have heard the strange sound uttered by
the bird when perched on the topmost
branch of some withered tree Our

'Now Tommy hurry into those

nous, and one night he sat for q long
time on the edge Of his bed, wondering
how he might begin reform move
ment. a great many plans We're consid-
cred, but he abandoned them because he
knew they wouldn't work.
AT last, becoming tired and disgust
ed, he gave it up, saying, in his desper-
atom
"Id rather be dog, like old Rover.
He has an easy time Of it-no fires to
build and all that foolishness. wish
could turn into dog for awhile and
see how it goes. "
And with this wish on his lips Tom
my got under the covers, tucked them
comfortably around him and went to
sleep.
Something very strange happened
that night, for when Tommy Tomkins
woke the next morning he was Tommy
Tomkins no longer, but big shaggy
haired, bushy tailed dog. Bouncing out
OF the bed, he scratched and barked at
the door until somebody came and let
him out.
Down the yard he ran, frisking about
like kitten, when suddenly he spied
Rover. Now, Rover was a staid old fel.
low and wouldn't stand any nonsense.
and when he saw this strange dog
prancing around in his yard he went
for him like thunderbolt.
Tommy wagged his tail and pretend
ed to be jolly good friends, but Rover
couldn't see it, and when the short,
sharp fight was over Tommy was seen
making tracks as fast as his legs would
let him, with one ear gone and the 9TH
er cut into ribbons.
He ran on and on, through the town,
but though he selected back streets 9th.
er dogs saw him and came yelping at
his heels. Men and small boys joined in
the chase, and poor Tommy, aching
with pain and painting with fear and ia
tigue, sought the shelter Of a barn that
stood in his way and hid himself under
the hay
oh, but it was jolly fun, this being
dog No one could tell how jolly until
he tried it himself, thought Tommy.
Already he longed for the fire building,
and the milk bringing, and even for the
water throwing process by which he
was awakened every morning.
He lay in the hay all night, shivering
with cold and racked with the pain Of
his wounds. He had often heard that
a dog can heal his wounds by licking
them, but whoever heard of dog lick
ing his own ears?
Morning came at last, and Tommy
was painfully hungry. Moving cautious
1y TO the door of the barn, he looked
out to see if any Of his enemies were
near, and seeing nothing that threaten
ed danger he went out and trotted about
the street in search Of bone. He found
one or two, but they had already been
gnawed at by dozen or more dogs, and
Tommy couldn't find even a smell of
meat about them.
This wouldn't do at all, he thought,
and he finally ventured to enter back
yard and approach the kitchen door.
Dinah, the cook, was just coming out
with pan of water, singing the while
In high good humor, but when she saw
the strange dog the singing ceased, the
pan of water dropped to the ground, and
Dinah was transformed into thunder
storm of wrath. Tommy never could
understand how well kept back yard
could furnish as many missiles as Dinah
threw at him ON that terrible morning.
