ROBIN TACKLES A HENsHAWK,

II Is well known that the hawk, no
matter how fierce and big he may be,
has no terror for the klngblrd. 1t is a
common sight in the sprlngtime, when
thy are breeding, to see one OF these
plucky little chaps mercilessly follow
ing, pecklng and driving a great bird
of prey dozen times its size. A mer-
chant who was camping out on the
Chelsea Hills learned that the king
bird is not the only small bird bold
enough to attack and drive away the
robbers Of the air.
The man was approaching a farmyard
one morning for his supply of milk.
when a commotlon among the poultry
drew his attention to large hen hawk
which was sailing away with a good
sized chicken In its talons. The poor
old hen was doing It's best to prevent
the raid. With much squalling she ran
along. and tried TO use her clumsy wings
In flight after the thief.
Just as the hawk rose to the level
Of the tree tops robin, which had
evidently been taking measures to as
sist the hen mother, sprang from limb
right atop OF the hawk, with shlll cry
OF rage. So fiercely did the game red.
breast use its sturdy bill upon the
hawks back, at times even alighting
upon II TO peck to better advantage,
that after a good deal of maneuyerlng,
finding II impossible to escape this per-
sistent foe, II dropped It's prey and
turned upon the robin. But the brave
little bird was by no means fighting for
flghting's sake and as soon as the
chicken had been restored to its moth
er darted back to its tree and began a
song of rejoicing. (Que) Cor
