pleasing sight was flock Of dozen cedar

an elm, fitting about and seemingly with
out care. Soon four foreigners appear

or two to the ground. They had accom-
plished their object and without stopping
to pick up the little body passed on soon
another report was heard, doubtless with
the same result
