Rorin. PLAY Mt Being Dead.

One morning n well known naturalist
was greatly surprised to see a robin
lying on his back evidently dead, being
rapidly pulled round and round by an
other bird of the same species.
The naturalist at once came to the
conclusion that he had come in time
to witness the end Of deadly en-
counter, ana that the live robin was
lndulglng in the cruel triumph Of drag
ging his victims lifcless body over the
stones.
But he was mistaken, for suddenly
the live bird went down upon his back
his wings and legs were stifiened, and
he gave every appearance of being
dead, whle the other robin who had
been shamming death hoped on his
legs and proceeded TO serve his com
panion In the same way as he had
done him. Finally the two birds flew
away together to neighboring tree.
