In the village where Major Lee. re-
tired on half pay, had taken up his
residence, IL was generally argued by
the villagers that he was dictatorial
and without sentiment Moreover. he
was blunt-spoken and a kicker. He

duty 10 run the town. His wife and
his daughter Nellie were we'll liked,
but the people kept clear of the major.
he didn't carry loaded gun with him,
put he had a very sarcastic tongue.
And yet underneath his bluff, as his
own family knew, Major Lee had
heart. and that heart was filled with
sentiment. He had revealed II on
several occasions, and now the family
parrot had died he was almost in tears.
Ihat the major should have endured
the presence OF a squawking parrot
for single hour was a matter of as
tonishment outside the family. but he
had endured her for three years. That
her death should bring a look of
melancholy 10 his face caused certain
people to think they had done him in
justice.
Poll was dead. She had been found
on her back beneath her perch. with
all the squawk and chatter gone out
OF her. II was a case OF old age and
being too good. The major was the
one to discover her lifeless remains,
and for the first time in 10 years he
was so choked up that he could not
eat his breakfast

She would swear when | told her 10,
and shut up when raised my finger.
Each of us had come TO understand
the moods of the other. She knew

knew when she wanted to take hers.

drawing her last breath"
But, papa, she was a good deal of
a nuisance, after ALL" replied Miss
Nellie.

called him names"
That was just one of her little
ways to keep things moving along

He was the small son of a minister
and his mother was teaching him the
