The Kea Parrot.

Naturalists regard the Kea parrot as
the most remarkable of creatures that
have adopted bad habits as recent
evolution. This bird was once Il re-
spectacle parrot. Its worst crime was
to rob orchards of their fruit. 1t now
cannot live without meat 1t has learn
ed to dig the kidney fat out of the
backs of sheep. Numbers of these
birds assemble together and worry u
sheep until the quadruped is so ex-
hausted that it can scarcely move.
They then dig into its back with their
powerful beaks and eat the fat Nat
urally the New Zealand farmers are
not well disposed toward the Kea par
rot The bird has further lost it's pow
er Of fight When it first arrived in
New Zealand there were no mammals
in the island; hence the bird did not
need wings to escape from cats and
other predaceous creatures, and as it's
fruit food was TO be obtained in plenty
on the ground it rarely used its wings.
These, therefore as generation sue
ceeded generation, became smaller and
weaker until the bird now cannot fly.

into the bright zenith where one small
white cloud loated against the blue.
Simple old SabbanO shaded his eyes
with Il wrinkled hand and gaZed sol
EMMY at the little white cloud. Long
years ago when he had been young and
worker i'll the vineyards about far
Napoli he, had gone on feast days to
the great cathedral with the high,
shiny altar. Priests had been there
who had said in full rich tones things
about the Holy Mother and about Je-
sus the Child. But Sabbano had
roamed far from Napoli, had forgotten
much. Vaguely he remembered some
teachings such as these spoken by the
small Joe.
do you go every day to this mission
SCHOOL," he asked of little Joe, the
junk dealers boy.
Yes, but on other days they teach
us many things
TEL me-" said the old man, do they
teach you where goes the water after
the hard rains?"
''Of course. Some of it runs in riv-
ers to the sea and some just dries and
goes up in steam"
Up eagerly queried old Sabbano.
up there"
Yes, up into the Clouds" said the
wise little Joe and went on his way
Hour after hour the Grandfather
Sabbano thought upon these things,
saying them over to himself as he sat
on his doorstep and watched a small
white cloud riding high in the sky
See. Dolo. Little Pietro is up
there" he murmured See, Nizzi.
The little lake is up there also. He
liked much the little lake
That evening when once more in the
moonlight he saw the white bush he
cried out as one who makes discovery
"Ah, the white bush. l should have
known. 1t is for sign. l understand,
little Pietro; | understand"
So now when the bent old Sabbano
is more lonely and wretched than is his
wont he searches the sky for small
white cloud. Finding it. such is his
simple faith, he whispers gently: The
little Pietro. The little lake, 1t is
WELL Thus he is comforted. Yet
there be those Of wider faith who can
nowhere find comfort

the business of death, that he did. And
he kept his promise. He took Pietro
out to his little island and left him
there deep under the bush.
After that the days We're lonelier
than any Sabbano had ever known be-
fore, though he had lived long and
known much loneliness. He became
very gentle with little children. He
smiled at them as they passed and
sometimes reached out furtively to
touch them.
Day by day the little lake grew
smaller and the island bigger Day by
day the sun shone brighter, and at last
there was no trace left of the little
lake. AS for the island, it was only
Il little knoll with bush on it.
One night when the moon swung
high and full old Sabbano sat in his
open door looking at the bush. He
noted that all suddenly it had grown
white. In the moonlight it seemed as
If stray cloud had become intwined
in the branches, hiding them from
sight. Much did he marvel at this, for

bright new tie had Joe under his clean
wide collar. and he carried Il book in
his hand.
Where you 20 today. little Joe:'
asked SabbanO kindly.

showing his book with pride.
Old Sabbanb shook his head in puz-
zled way He would know what it was

oh. they read to Us out Of big
book, and we all sing, and they tell Us
where we shall go when we die if we
are good
''And where is thatf" asked SabbIno.
Don't you know" exclaimed Joe.
"Up there. of course" And he pointed

land that was open to the little pietrO.
1t squatted in wretched loneliness out
on the far and drabblcd skirts of the
great city, but to Pietro. cramped from
birth within crowded Sums, it stood
for all the possibilities of boundless
freedom Why, the nearest shanty
neighbOr was out of stones throw!
And when one has had for a play
ground only the half of an iron fire eS-
cape what joy there is in having for
ones own whole acre of ground.
That it bordered the refuse dump only
lent another charm. Rare treasures
might be found on the dump.
And as Pietro came to the RiSerS be-
cause he had no other place to 90 so
also came the little lake, for it was
early spring. the rains had fallen hard
and often. and the Risers lacked drain
age. Hence the waters spread and
spread until they covered much space
about the shanty Indeed one must
walk on plankS to get from the door
10 the lane. Dolo, the yellow and white
cat, did not like it at all He looked out
fAL tllC wafer anu IltMIu
mournfully. Nor did Nizzi like it, this
water. He yapped in protest But the
little Pietro was pleased. His big. soft
brown eyes widened with the wonder
of it.
ooh. oh, the little lake! The little
lake, he cried See, Grandpa Sab
bano, the little lake,
Eyes, Pietro. mic. it is for you See.
shall make a boat and you shall sail
it in the little lake while l am away"
Very softly and tenderly spoke old
Sabbano, letting his knotted, grimy
hand rest fondly on the black curls, for
during those long months they had
passed together in the tumbledown
shanty old Sabbano had come to adore
this little disturber of his loneliness
Out of bit of board he fashioned the
boat, rigging it with a queer sail such
as the Napoli fishermen use and fasten-
ing to it a long string.
There, Pietro. that is 50 thy ship
shall not sail too far away See, by
this you can pull it back and thus keep
the little feet from the water 1t is bad
to wet the little feet Now l must go"
Then old Sabbano, throwing a burlap
sack over his shoulder, went forth to
gather from the back yards the bones,
the bottles and the bits of metal which
he sold to the junk dealer.
So little Pietro was left alone with
his boat and his little lake. 1t was not
raining now The mild April sky was
clear and blue. The sunshine had be-
gun to warm the soaked and steaming
earth. Out from the doorstep Jared the
little ship, out past the old stump that
rose black and menacing from the smil-
ing water, out TO the farthest limit of
the string. Then back it came inglorI-
Dusly, sternforemost. Next it was lad
en- with bits of stone and sent on an
other voyage.
Pietro-the small, brown eyed Pietro
smiled joyously at the little lake, and
right joyously the little lake smiled
back at him, for Pietro was five, which
is the age Of enchantment.
Far out from the doorstep--oh, very
far out-was an island in the little
lake. 1t was big island twice as big
as the floor of the shanty itself. A bush
grew in the very middle of the island,
a tall bush, on which the buds were
swelling. Longingly did little Pietro
look at the island. 1t seemed to beck
