A lady who had lost a canary hap
pened to be attracted by bird that
was hopping about In its cage in the
front window Of house in New York.
Thinking that 1t looked very like her
own, she knocked at the house door
and asked a few questions about 1t.
She was told that 1t had been found
one cold morning sitting on the win
dow sill and was taken in and cared
for. The lady said her bird could per-
form the pretty feat of picking up a
pin and sticking it in the carpet. Be-
ing allowed to test this bird, the cage
door was opened and a pin thrown on
the floor. The canary at once flew
down to It, picked it up in Its bill and
cleverly stuck 1t upright In the carpet,
after which 1t burst into song, as If re-
joicing at Its success. The folk OF the
house, believing the lady had proved
her ownership Of the bird, permitted
her, says Little Folks, to take the
songster away to her home.

A Case of Highway Robbery with a

What the hero of this story kicks
about is the fact that his wife forgot
her sacred word never to say anything
regarding It. His business keeps him
out late, and he frequently carries con-
siderable money. When footpads are
reported In evidence, he gets as near
home as he can by street car and then
takes the best lighted route to his
house.
One night he had reached the front of
his own place and had just drawn a
long sigh of relief when the order
Hands up!" startled him into compli-
ance. One man held a gun In the i'm
mediate neighborhood of his ear and
another systematically robbed him of
everything worth carrying off. The or
der then was that he walk around the
block 80 as to defer the use of his tele-
phone, and 1t was clearly stated that
any attempt to turn back, run or call
for help would result In his being
assassinated.
Before he reached the corner 1t
struck him that the voice of one of the
men sounded familiar and then that its
owner was near neighbor greatly
given to practical joking. Back he
went on tiptoes, his revolver In his
right hand, and surprised the footpads
as they were dividing the spoils. He
made them lay everything on the walk.

Ing the next order he discovered that

the robbers ran one way, while he

his money, watch, papers and diamond
pin. His wife simply ruined the story
