mother of the pigeons did not come
back from a race and the baby pigeons
would have starved had my grandma
not fed them. She named them Hinky
and Pinky. They grew up very tame
and few around the room and tapped
on the window paDes when they wanted
TO come IN. Once they were sent to
Louisville, KY, with other racing pige-
ons; they soon came back, tired out.
After five years grandma gave them to
a friend way down on Long Island.
Hinky, after being locked up in a coop
a year. got away and came back to grand
ma She sent him back. Two years
later he came back again. This time he
had further to 90, because he was miss
ing for three months before he got to-
grandma's. My grandma has kept him
since. He is now ten years old He fol.

lad was a great big giant and he was

went TO the pantry, where she found
some nice, fresh eggs, then she went to
her paint box and had real nice time

the little lad. The next morning she car
ried q pretty little box lined with white
cotton to the hospital. The little lad was
crying and refusing to eat what they

A green isie In the sea. love.
A fountain and = xhrins
Al wrcathsd with fairy fruits and
flowers.
And all my days are trances.
And aii my nights are frances.
And AL my nightly dreams.
Are whore thy gray eye ginnces.
And where thy footsteps CLEANS
Ia what ethereal dances,
by what eternal streams.
Edgar Allan Poe
A cat can look At . klng--if not
