- very melancholy Archibald
thought it must feel worse than be
did himself. 50 he pitied the bird.
and presently called oat 70 him %

bird answered:
O NE, O my. boO-hoo.

I'm turkey buzzard,s said th@
bird And with two easy flaps Of his
enormous wings it landed on the top
OF Archibalds stack.
Archibald had been taught polite
manners. SO he bowed, side"ays,, as
well as he could. considering The
crowded position on the stack, and
remarked: I'm delighted to make
your acquaintance.
Just then he came near slipping
off the edge of the stack. but the BIRD
reached out its wing in tine anl inns
teld him on. At the same time,
Archibald put one arm as far as he
could reach aboui the bird lest 1t
might fall Off.
"Yes. I'm a turkey bazzard. the
bird continued. and lost my way
by flying too far north

wise The bird looked much per
picked and said he didn't see where
the map came in.
Archibald felt little less conf
Gent, but. with an attempt to defend
heis learning. declared that the map
was in the geography, and that the
way he had said it was right.
At the risk of sliding off the hay
stack the bird lifted one claw sutfl.
GENTLY to scratch its head and then
slowly remarked that it had no
doubt of Archibalds learning. but
that the directions didn't seem to III,
''See here, turkey buzzard,' shout
e. Archibald suddenly. "You see tha'

The bird drew his wing more close
