wrong Three Well-grown lads armed with
niger shooters" and bird shot, walked along
idly, wantonly shooting at hooking birds, blue
birds, and any other flour songsters, seemingly
without pang, without scruple as to whether
they manned or killed the poor little unoffend-
ing and defenseless things.
Little cared they that the singing shot broke
the mother bird Is wing, thus rendering her help
less and suffering and leaving her birdlings to
starve! Finding it impossible to look quietly at
this unnecessary and one-sided warfare, took
poor BRIDES part and after short talk with
the boys was gratifed to see each niger
shooter quietly slipped into already bullying
pockets. Not fifty PAGES had been covered ere
yelp rent the quiet peace of the wood and
turning saw that little dog, trotting content
edly along, had been shot and hurt by one of
the three repentant 60 lads Now, tell me-
why?
