turtle One day last summer. when we
were returning from picnic I stepped on
something that looked like a large stone.
Feeling it move. l looked down and found
that il was large turtle. We put him in
our lunch basket and. in spite of his frantic
efforts to escape, carried him home AS he
had only one wicked red eye. having, no
doubt lost the other in fight. we named
him Dick Deadeye." At first he would
NOT eat and walked round and round in
the barrel where We put him, trying to es-
cape But IL a few DAYS he got so hungry
that he would take raw meat even from
our hands. When he became tame enough
We gave him the liberty of the yard. and
he and our dog, Peggotty. became great
friends In the autumn Dick hunted round
for place to take his winter nap in, and
one morning he was not 70 be found. Peg
gotty searched the yard in vain attempt
to find her friend. The next day We saw
her digging frantiCaliy in he yard and al
last she ioyfully unearthed poor Dick. He
was very much disgusted and was forced
TO find a new bed where Peggotty Couldn [
from his winter sleep he was welcomed
most heartily by his friend Peggotty-

TIE PARTRIDGE EGGS.

Dear Little Men and Little Women: [
have not won a prize yet, SO ! thought 1
would try to win one. / am going to tell
you OF some partridge eggs once found
One day ! was taking a walk through
some woods l noticed a large bird sitting on
limb high above my head I watched her
for several minutes and then she f1evssa
little lower to the ground. She acted as If
she had something hidden and was guard
ing it So walked away slowly, keeping
my eye on the bird. l hid behind large
tree and watched her. After sitting there
few minutes she flew down in a pile Of
leaves She was sitting there few
minutes when she flew away. I walked
over TO where she was sitting, and there
was a nest. The nest was the color of the
leaves, and it had five eggs in IT. The eggs
We're the color of the nest When walking
along one would not notice nest like
that one l thought I would take two eggs
home and put them in hens nest. When
I reached home. | put them in the nest.
After two weeks of impatient waiting l
found that there were two little feather
less birds in the nest. The hen seemed as
though she Gid not care much about them.
In five or six weeks more they were big
birds, and locked something like chickens.
The other hens pecked them every chance
they got, until one day when they flew
away About every other day the birds
would come back and go into the chicken
yard at the time when I fed the CHECKERS.
In a couple Of weeks they became very
tame and would eat out of my hands. One
morning the birds did not come back. The
next day l waited for their return, but no
birds came. / never saw my pet birds after
that. l think some hunter must have killed
them Hoping this will be interesting, your
reader. LORENZ WILLIG (aged 49,.
