Q Oily cantankerous indlvidu-
( " al, but Blnhford, who lives
1soN next door to him, declares
thar ne always gets along with Gan
derbeau all right. Binkford has
cheerful, happy nature.
The residents of the suburbs laugh
when Binkf0rd says this. The reason
u that when Gauderbeau meets Blink
ford he looks more bilious than ever
and tries to take no notice of him.
Binkford denies that there is any
trouble between him and Ganderbeau.
'.TrOubleT he says. "Why should
I have trouble with him-or anybody
elseT'
1t is good to have disposition like
that.
Ganderbeau came to the suburb first.
He kept chickens. as he still does. and
traded the produce to StensOn, the
grocer. When Binkford moved in next
door and proceeded to raise chickens
also, Ganderbeau at first felt himself
much aggrieved. He found. however,
that Binkford had no intention of CON-
peting with him ut Stenson's. using
all his eggs for home consumption.
Then Binkford's extreme friendllness
won first his tolerance and then sOme-
thing like regard. The two walked to-
gether to the train in the morning. and
once Binkford induced his neighbor to
take a hand at whist on the $50. 1t
In true he acted like the dickens and
accused Potter wrongfully Of revok-
ing, but II said good deal for Blink
ford's influence, however.
Ganderbeau kept his chickens in an
Enclosure Of his back yard, and never
under any circumstances allowed them
to roam. Binkford, on the contrary,
allowed his the run of his whole prem
ises aud the vacant lots Mt the back
Of the house. In fact, BinkfOrd's
chickens went all over the suburb. But
they always came home to roost.
The friendly relations between the
neighbours were maintained for some
months. But one morning Ganderbeau
found three Plymouth Rock pullets
burrowing in the bosom Of his azalea
bed. He instantly COMPOUNDED Bick
ford's shiftlessness in not providing
proper restraint for the birds and
picking up Hath, drove them out into
the alley after five minutes of nerve
destroying effort. II he bad seen Bick
ford then the friendly relations would
have been severed forthwith, but b'
had time to cool of a little before Blink
ford came out.
Say, Binkford," he called, "why
don't you keep your blamed chickens
ut homer"
"Oh, what's the use?" said Binkford
"The poor things need little exercis
and fresh air."
You're mighty apl to lose some o
them IL you don't" said Ganderbeau.
81 guess the people of this suburb
are tolerably honest out of bushes
hours" said Binkford. I'm no
afraid"
you'll need to be II you don't kee
them cut of my yard" raid Gander
beau. -There were in here this morn
ing scratching mp my beds
rs that sof" said Blnkford. In tone
Of cOmmiseration. Say. that's TO
odu6 nee mere, 'ahueipe""' 80 49,
get In again, don't you hesitate |
drive them OUT
II won't" said Ganderbeau grlmly.
They got in again and he drove theI
cut. He mentioned the circumstanc
to Binkford, who expressed his deep n
greet and his admiration OF the hyin
powers of the chickens at the sam
time. Nevertheless, he nailed uprigf
strips along the length of the fenc
and told his neighbor that he was col
adent that would keep them out
The next morning The puiiets wei

axaieas as encrgeticaliy as ever. Gal
derbcau suggested to Binkford that
shonid forthwith clip the wings OK d
predatory birds and get them inside
