year, and still nothing had happened.
The friendship between the two men
had become a byword in Dawson. and
Ellis had prospered. One night up at

Ellis rose suddenly from his seat be-

But you want to see what she thinks
about it?" said the other musingly.
That's it," cried Ellis earnestly.
That's just the point. She knows
hadn't any bad feeling toward him only
so far as she was concerned, and she
hadn't promised either. We just made
up our minds to fight it out and let the
best man have her. And we didn't try
any dirty work either knives or guns,
just took the weapons God gave us and
went to work one night after a dance.

night, and, as Mr.. Crow pushed his
chair back from the table, he said to
Mrs. Crow that he thought he would
give a surprise party the next day.
why, how can you think of such a
thing, with not a thing to eat in the
housed" said Mrs. Crow, in amaze
ment.
Il will have each one bring their
own lunch said Mr. Crow, and then
everyone will be sure to be satisfied.
want you to help me go around and
invite the guests, for 1t will be a big
surprise party, and there will be a
big surprise" Mrs. Crow said that
way the house looked. but Mr. Crow
said that everyone would be too much
surprised to notice the house. So,
after a while. Mrs. Crow got her bon
net and shawl, and Mr.. Crow took his
cane, and they both went out to in
vite the birds to the surprise party.
Everyone they ASKED to come said
they would surely be there, although
the notice was SO very short, and all
were just crazy to find out what the
surprise would be. Mrs. Crow did not
know, and Mr.. Crow would not tell,
but said they would be delighted. when
they found out about it the next day,
and to be sure and bring a large lunch,
for surprises always gave people
large appetite.
The next morning Mr.. Crow went out
to the chicken coop to look at Mr..
Wildcat, and found that he had got
the stick out of his throat and was so
angry at being shut up that way that
he could hardly speak Mr. Crow stir

great leap and caught the string of
small fish in his mouth, but he was in
such a hurry that he swallowed fish,
stick and all, and there he was, caught
just as If he had been a fish himselfl
tie tried to bite the string, but a part
of the stick stuck between his jaws
so that he could not close them, and
besides the string was waxed, and as
every one knows, waXed string can
not be bitten in two. Mr.. Wildcat
howled tearfully, and cried out in a
choked voice for Mr.. Crow to stop, but
MIR. Crow only pulled the harder on
the string, for he thought it was "a fine
thing to catch Mr.. Wildcat like that,
and get even with him for all the birds
he had eaten, for Mr.. Wildcat would
sooner eat birds than almost anything
else.
When Mr.. Wildcat found that Mr..
Crow did not intend to stop, he hung
back on the string and tried to stand
still, for he knew that Mr.. Crow was
not large enough to pull him, but when
he hung back, the part of the stick
that he had swallowed hurt his throat
so that he could not stand it, and so
he had to go along just where MIR.
Crow led.
/. MIR. Crow stopped flying after a
while and walked along the road
ahead of Mr.. Wildcat, leading him
carefully by the String, but every lit
tie way Mr.. Wildcat would make a
dash after him, and Mr.. Grow would
have to fly up into the air to escape
being torn to pieces. Mr. Wildcat was
so angry that his eyes blazed like
Goals of fire, and every time Mr.. Crow
would yank on the string or shake
the string of large fish i'm his face, Mr.
Wildcat would scream like a fire en-
CINE, and bristle up his tail until it
looked like a feather buster.
After a great deal of trouble Mr..
Crow got Mr.. Wildcat safely home
and shut him up in an empty chicken
coop that he had stolen once when it
was not empty. Then he went into
the house and told Mrs. Crow to hurry
up and cook the string of large fish
for supper. He was sorry to lose the
string of small fish. but he consoled
himself by thinking that if he had not

red him up with a stick to make him
lively and went back to the house
just in time to see the first guests ar
rive.
All of the best people in the neigh
borhood came to the surprise party.
There were Mr.. Robin, Miss Red Bird,
Mrs. Thrush, Miss Jenny Wren, Mr..
Baltimore Oriole, Mr.. Blue Jay, Judge
Owl. Miss Black Bird, Mr.. Quail, Mrs.
Partridge, and a great many more:
and others kept coming so fast, and
all brought so much lunch that Mrs.
Crow had to set tables out on the
lawn, for the house would have been
too crowded with them all. Every
one was perfectly wild to find out what
the surprise was, and Mr.. Crow could
hardly make the first corners wait to
be surprised until all the guests had
arrived. There was a great crowd and
none of them had ever seen so much
to eat in one place before.
At last Mr.. Crow slipped away from
the company and went around behind
the house to the chicken coop, where
Mr.. Wildcat was shut up. He tied a
long string to the top of the chicken
coop and then flew up to the top of a.
tree and pulled on the string so as to
raise up the chicken coop so Mr.. Wild
cat could get out.
Mr.. Wildcat flew out like a shot, and
when he saw he could not get Mr.. Crow
he tore around the house and ran
straight at the surprise party, who
were waiting to be surprised. They
were certainly surprised when they
saw Mr.. Wildcat coming for his fur
was all on end, he was so mad and
his jaws were open so wide that he
looked as if he could swallow the whole
party at one gulp. The party didn't
wait to be swallowed, but flew up into
the air in a second, and they started
home just as quick as their wings
could carry them. Mr.. Wildcat start
ed home too, for he didn't like Mr..
Crows neighborhood.
Then Mr.. Crow flew down out of his
tree, and he and Mrs. Crow gathered
up all the provisions that the guests
had brought. No one had started to
eat when Mr.. Wildcat appeared, so
there was enough to last the Crows a
year.
Mr.. Grow said that he was sorry his
guests were all in such a hurry and
could only stay such & short time. but
he hoped they had a good time while
they were there. Some of the guests
said that they believed Mr.. Crow had
turned Mr.. Wildcat loose on purpose.
but Mr.. Crow said that If his friends
would talk about him in that way at
ter he had invited them to a surprise
party he did not care to associate with
them any more.

stranger said dreamily.

warmly. Wrap that blanket round
you, though. You don't want the damp
curling up your bones. Going to plant

"All right Needn't tell if you don't
feel the spirit moving you. Only like
you. and you might S well stay right
here where God or the devil dropped
you for me to take care of. Any good
reason why not?"
The stranger smiled. He had a
smooth face, white and clear skinned as
a girl, but his eyelids had a trick of
narrowing ever so slightly as he look
ed at one, and when he smiled his lips
drew tight across his even white teeth.
Laughs like hound dog" the Hawk
told Bones, and he did not seek the
strangers favor.
But Ellis liked him. He was clever,
brainy young fellow, brimful of the
latest lore of the world below, not par
ticularly ambitious to all appearances,
vet he entered heart and soul into Ellis
plans and ideas. The shack become his
pertinent home, and while the stran-
ger shared the freight with Ellis, the
Hawk and Bones sat outside, looking
up at the stars, and bordering over
many things.

shack. Hardy glanced sideways at his
companion.
