scarcely watch the fight of barn swallow

drops gracefully TO the level OF the tall
grass. the tops of which he fans into sud-

quick pinions. Now straight toward you he

hear the light swish of those marvellous
wings. Then he is gone. and turning. you
see him floating along close TO the grass

shining surface breaks on. into ripples at
the delicate touch. Moving with a speed
which would probably enable him to leave
