A Greedy Ynungster.

Every day during the summer we
sprinkle crumbs on our lawn for the
birds, robins. sparrows. chippies and
the beautiful red-winged blackbirds.
They learned to look upon us as their
friends, and many of them grew quite
tame.
The blackbirds came quite close to
the window and chirped an impera-
tive call when they were hungry, and
continued calling until their demands
were satisfied. One old fellow who
has come back year after year to nest
in the swamp near by answered when
ever l whistled to him. and called his
mate to pick up the crumbs when he
was not too hungry himself.
A dear little song sparrow came
day after day as we sat on the piazza
in the afternoon. perched himself on
nearby post of the railing and trilled
his sweet song directly to us. Who
shall say he was not trying to express
his gratitude for all the choice tidbits
we provided for him!
The birds were generally very pleas.
ant and polite to each other when they
came to our little feast. There was
plenty of food for all, so there was
no need to squabble. But one day in
June, as l sat reading on the piazza,
l heard a great scolding and fault
fir '>g on the lawn. I looked down
az, saw two strange birds among the
others.
One was a thin. little chippy bird,
and the other, who was making all the
noise in a harsh, disagreeable voice,
was larger bird-about the size of
large sparrow. His feathers. muddy
gray in color, were puffed out angrily,
and his wings tapped as if he were
wounded. -he little chippy was pick
ing up crumbs as fast as she could
and feeding them to this great lazy
bully, who no sooner swallowed a
crumb than be began to scold her and
squawk for more.
If she stopped working for an in
stant or tried to eat a morsel herself,
he would peck at her numerically.
went down the steps to get closer
view, but both birds flew away at my
approach, the larger bird leading and
showing that he was quite strong
enough to take care of himself. Like
all bullies. he was coward.
The next day they came back, and
| saw them go through the same per-
formance again. l could not under
stand why that poor little chippy
| should allow herself to be imposed
| upon. So went to the wise man bird
| and told him all about them.
"The ugly bird was young COW
| blackbird," said he. "The cowbird,
like the English cuckoo, lays her eggs
in another's birds nest-generally
that of a chppy or some bird smaller
| than herself. The chippy mother
broods over this egg with her own
without noticing the difference. When
| the cowbird matches he Is generally
| larger and crowds them out of the
nest. Often the cowbrd's egg matches
before the others. and he pushes the
| eggs from the nest before the baby
| chippies are out.
The mother chippy loves him as her
own child. and nearly wears herself
out feeding him. He is so greedy that
| he grows fast. and Is soon stronger
than the little mother. but he makes
her find him food long after he learns
| to fly.
Next time saw the cowbird want
ed to throw stone at him and drive
him away. but | feared to frighten
the other brides away from their
supper.-Helen Hopkins, In Boston

LONG LOST LETTER FROM
CAPT. KIDD FOUND

Providence, r. l., Nov ia letter
200 years old from Captain Kidd the
notorious pirate chief, to John Bailey,
Esq, of New York which, from evil
dence contained in it, is believed to be
genuine by the heir to whom it has be-
come heirloom, has been deposited
for safe keeping with other papers in
the office of the record commissioners
of this city.
The letter is the property of Edward
Field, clerk Of the municipal court of
providence, and historian, a descend
ant of the Warner family which was
among the first to settle in what is
now the town of Warwick. 1t was
found among family papers.
apparently the communication was
written after the capture of Captain
Kidd. 1t is dated Boston, 1901 and it
says in part:
Il fear we are in a bad situation.
We are taken for pirates and you must
come to Boston as soon as you get
this; there is no one l can depend
on. If l don't see you, I will tell you
where my money is buried on
Island in Boston Harbor on the--
island in two chests containing from
915,000 to 100000 sterling in money
jewels and diamonds. They are buried
about four feet deep with a flat stone
on them and a pile of stone nearby
There is no one that knows where it is
but me now living. 1t is about
up the hillside. Don't fail to come to
me as soon as you get this. If I am
gone to England be there as soon as
possible. Secure the money and dia-
monds before you come as money will
do a great deal for u.s."
The letter contains much more mat
ter and refers to many incidents which
have been found to be historically cor
rect. The words which would tell ex-
actly where the treasure was buried
are omitted and their places are TAX
en- by. crosses. 1t is considered likely
that along with the letter went another
writing in which was given the key to
the omitted portions.
