 ''Thep therell be no eat around he"1 I'll break his neck before I sleep t0- night
 Mrs. Bowser wisely maintained si fence. and after betting the bantam f.? awhile Mr. Bowser got in better tenn per and obseryed:
 "As I said at the beginninG 1 Sh0ul' like to make an experiment on th; bird. l see no reason why he shouldn' learn to talk. He looks ten times a< bright as any parrot 1 ever saw. + :: dunk headed old parrot can chatter this rooster ought to be able to deliver an ofatioa.

 "W-What is it." he asked as he sa l up.
 It's either that all the Water pi;so downstairs have burst or the furnac is getting ready te blow up.' Three minutes later he was down stairs. and tine mystery was solved The noise was the bantam rooste l growing in his box. He croWed as Nh Bowser stood and looked at the boA and he crowed as the cover was take off. It was a crow so shrill that stopped pedestrians on the street
 "What is it." called Mrs. Rowse over the hanister Don't you kno, that people are stopping at the gate:"
 It's ti!s internal little rooster | There he goes again, By John, wh ever heard of a rooster growing at thi hour of the night:"
 "perhaps heS learning to talk
 And perhaps you get back into be and stay there"'
 Crow Awoke Bowser. There was another long, shrill cro> from the bantam. and then Mir. Bow ser's fingers grasped his neck and tn crow died away in a gurgle. The bir / was dead before the front door wa reached and the three or four men a the gate caught sight of q man on tn front steps as he gave the corpse fling into their midst. Then the doc banged. and they said to each other:
 "Its rooster, and he must hay brought the old man down with hi growing. but he didn't give the littl feller fair show
