LOOKING into
The SUNSET

Yes, thus lived Miss Spencer Cat the
time of which | write) all alone with
Richard of the Lion Heart, and if you
ask me for further particulars OF Rich
ard | will say that he was canary
whose pleasure and duty 1T was TO
mind his mistress and keep her safe
from harm.
Oh, but he was a champion bird,
was Richard. Afraid of nothing, chat
tering fierce warnings to the butcher
and the groceryman, and toleratlng
the baker in peremptory sort or
way only because he was the man who
brought the bread; and when anybody
sought to ingratiate themselves with
this spirited bird by inserting a finger
between the bars Of his cage he almost
fell off his perch at the impudence or
them and straightway fell to sharpen
ing his beak on his bit of cutie, his
chirping turned to the horrid croaklng
Of a feathered pet who is presently
| going to bite a finger off
Well, then, it began with slight
| hoarseness in Richards highest notes
and the moment she heard 1t MISS
| Spencer folded her needlework-she
was knitting pair of shoes for some
| fortunate little orphan-and mixed
little tfaxseed with Richards birdseed,
| and shut a door and window TO
| keep the draught off him, but all IN
vain. His hoarseness increased TO
an extent that would have discouraged
any other bird, but Richard, justly
named the Lion Heart, persevered IN
his song until it sounded almost as
shrilI as a very rusty saw gong
through a very hard knot. In vain he
hoped from one perch to another; IN
vain he sided along his perch, as he
sang, his poor little beak opened SO
wide that he had to shut his eyes;
his cold grew worse and worse and
he began to neglect his food.
Lettuce tempted him not, except for
hopeful moments; he turned up his
bill at celery tips and green peas, and
as for birdseed, he simply wouldn
look at H.
