And old Poll Parrot would sit on his perch and scream with laughter, crying out: "Go- it Fight-dogs! You're-no- kin.'
 But one day things came to a crisis. Hal Blake elimed Into the tree and be- gan to remove the nails that held tho Pigeon Flats" In place. His little sister, seeing what he was about, asked his req son for doing so.
 ''These pigeons are bad lot" explained Hal. "They fight continually. I'm going to sell these flats to Frank Thompson for his pigeons As for these pigeops-I'il give them to whoever wants them. won't keep q lot of fighting cock pigeons with crippled feet and wings, and sore eyes about the place. If they can't be ladies and gentlemen I don't want them They-like quarrelsome people-are pleas anter when a long way off."
 Now, Mrs. White and Madame Dovie, sitting in their flats, heard what Hal told the nails holding the flats In place he had tive apartments the two pigeon ladies.

A Story of An Old
 Tramp.
BY FRANCIS MARIAN.

Let's have walk through the park this morning, sister," said Lucy to Ethel May as they started to school one morn- ing. II was early In the fall and the novelty of going to school had not yet worn off, and each morning the little girls were ont of bed just as the old sun was setting the example of rising, and were the first down to breakfast. Then they would set out for school early enough to take the Hong cut through the pretty city park, where they would gather ferns and autumn leaves for Teach CTS desk
 As they were strolllng along one of the fine driyeways-deserted at this early hour-Lucy suddenly drew her sisters at tention to the sorry figure of an old man seated on one of the park benches. From his tattered clothes and unkept, deJected appearance the girls supposed him to be a tramp.
 Isn't 1t awful" said Lucy, ''that the park authorities allow such old tramps in here? Really. their coming and sitting here prevents decent people from enjoy Ing what rightfully belongs to them. The citizens of thls city own this park; but the old yagrants and tramps drive them

When Riot Reigned in the Pigeon Flats.
BY MAUD WALKER.

It was early in the spring that Hal Blake built the Pigeon Flats" They were erected in the branches of q great, dead tree which stood In the center of the back yard overlooking the garden, poultry coops and barnyard.
 All spring and summer peace and con- tentment had reigned in these 'Flats" oc- cupied by Mrs. White and her little whities--on the first fioor-and Madame Doyle and her hedglings on the second floor. But in the fall dispute had risen which seemed destined to terminate in a lifelong feud between these two pigeon families. This ugly little difleulty came about in this manner; One morning when Hal Blake was feeding the Whites and the Doyies one of the Doyle children Pig by name-attacked one of the White children-Davey by name--nnd took from him tender morsei of food just as that hungry fellow was getting 1t well Into his beak to swallow. Now, as the Doyle child's name would indicate, he was a elutton and selfish fellow and was known throughout the barnyard as That Pig Pigeon" His daily habit was to not only eat his own share of the food thrown to them, but to take by strategem or force some of that belonging to his brothers ana sisters This conduct on his part had con tinued with no interference save an oc- caslonal mild reprimand from his mother, who did not always see the doings of her son Pig"
 But on this morning of which I tell you, Pig had tried his robbing scheme on Davey White playfell0w, and, till now, friend. But Pig soon found that It was not such an easy thing to take the

 "Too-bad-you didn't teach your son to-mnd- nd-his-own-business." screeched the old parrot. "If-you-had-he- dn't-now- be-laid-up- wilma bum -lampl. Ha, hal
 Just at this moment, and as old Poll sat bursting with laughter, Mrs. White flew up to Madame Doyie's porch 10 in- quire after Pig. She was an amiable pigeon and felt no animosity toward her neighbors on account of the ehildren's little squabble. But Madame Doyie, be- ing yexed by the taunts of old Poll Far rot and feeling in A bad humor, scowled upon her lower-dat neighbor, ana, sup posing she had come to thrust an argu- ment upon her regarding her son Pigs bad conduct, said:
 Mrs. White, l wish to have nothing to say to you. l shall stand by my son in this matter. l am forced to tell you that our acquaintance is at an end. After to- day my children and do not know the ahem-the beings who live In the flat be- meath us." Then Madame Doyle with drew her head from the window with a toss.
 "Gee-wbizw screamed Poll Parrot. "We-are- -sour-grapesP
 And so the war was on between the two families of flat pigeons. At last things came to such q pass that Hal Blake began to observe the existing enmIty. When he fed the pigeons he mo- ticed the children of the opposing fami- lies would rush upon each other In great fury and peck at one another's eyes most viciously, Eyen Madame Doyle and Mrs. White, when coming to their offsprings assistance, would get into alterations Of

He walked lame and supported himself on a stick.
 Only q minute elapsed between the time when the girls turned back down the bill and the appearance of the danger which threatened them. And even before It's appearance this horror gave warning of It's approach in the beating of hoofs and the rattling of wheels. Then over the crest of the hill came leaping into view pair of maddened horses drawing a buggy. Evidently the driver had got out of the vehicle, leaving the horses united, the whip handle at the dashboard.
 On came the excited animals in their wildness, not seeing the two little white frocked girls that fled before them. And on flew the terrorized girls, knowing that safety could only be found at the foot of the hill where the reservoir wall turned away to the right, disclosing the broad left suddenly ended itself at the edge of a fountain. Ethel May and Lucy were using all the strength of their little legs to reach this place of safety, for owing to the narrowness of the road at this point they did not dare trust to hugging the stone wall or seeking shelter of the hedge: should the horses turn from the middle of the road their positions at either side would be perilous, so there was but one the bottom of the hill If possible and throw themselves from the road Into the grass at Its side.
 But their hearts stopped beating as they could hear the maddened horses gaining on them at every leap of their powerful bodies The hot breath from the animals dilated nostrlls touched their

their peace of mind concerning the fu- ture. Here in the Blake yard they had been bounteously fed and splendidly housed. No dogs nor cats came there to menace their safefy.
 'I'Ii not let a trihe like family quar- rel ruin my future prospects," said Mrs. White emphatieally, as Hal left the tree to go to the house in quest of a saw to help him in his work of fiat destruction. Then she flew to the porch of Madame Doyle, who had come out to call her children from the roof of the barn, where they were summing themselves prepara- tory for the monday fight, which oc- cured regularly now. When the two pigeon ladies' eyes met there was q look of reconciliation passed from one to the other. Madame Dovie was the first to speak. She said: Shall we be friends again, Mrs Whitef'
 Tt will be agreeable to me-" confessed Mrs. White. Tn fact, never did relish quarreling. But, we'll not allude to the past shall call my children and in- struct them accordingly. There must be no animosity between our youngsters henceforth."

He makes no mention of the Casa de Pereira, which, from a most in. teresting document not long since brought to light, we know to have also belonged to him. h this-which is the will of the great Magellan's great nephew-the testa- tor inveisns in the most vehement terms against his ancestor, ordering that hence forward over his house of 6abrosn no heir or descendant soever should restore the coat-of-arns of the family, since de- sire it should forever remain obiiterated, as a punishment for the crime of Ferdi- nand Magellan, In that he entered the service of Castle to the injury of this kingdom, and went to discover new lands. where he died in the disgrace of our king.
 Of Sabrosa and Its belonging little more need be said. Upon MaSeilans actual life there history is silent. We can picture him amid his native noun tains. riding the horses for which the dis trict is still so famous, and hunting the game with which It's woods abound We feel that in some such way his youth must have been spent in vigorous exercises such as these, for action and vigor were the two most marked features of his tempera ment. But however probable the assumption, It will never pass within the domain of proof, for even Correa-most diffuse and garrulous of historians-treats us to no details of this period of Ma4ei- lan's life.

She would do her utmost to save Lucy even though her attempt could be nothing short of madness and mean only death to them both.

 Now, this childish matter might have blown oyer had It not been for an old parrot who was sitting on his perch in tue back yard and who had been an h. terested spectator of the battle. .Ha, hal" he called out, laughing loudly as Madame Doyle half-carried her crippled son to their tree-top flat "Ha,. hal So. as sen se amost roS his perch with laughter.
