Is THE BLACK OUTLAWS B

TT was terrible weather, and the two
great black feathered, black
hearted ravens who lived on the
moor were hard put to it to keep
even their rascally bodies alive, even
though it is said ravens will live
where other creatures starve. This
is true, for their code Of honor is
slack and they live on the starved
ones.
The snow had come late, and, as all
late SHOWS are, was the worse for it,,
So late had it come, in fact, that we
find one of our ravens standing on a
ledge of rock above cliff, looking
down upon his mate on their great
nest of sticks lined with dry grass
and sleeps wool which they had
built and almost deserted because the
snow half covered his mate as she
sat on the three eggs
Hit!
Far as his keen, twinklng mis-
chievous eyes could see over the
.reary moor. up to the great noun
aims on one side, and down to the
valleys and lowlands where the towns
we're on the other, was nothing but a
desolation of shimmering white, UNI
broken by a single, living, moving
object. Stay, though there was some
thing moving about a mile away
across the moor.
The object that moved was a game
keeper and he had gun, of course.

cIump Of stunted, half buried heather

three cock grouse. They had been
sheltering out of the terrible north
wind and did not hear the keeper
coming.
There was flash and loud report
followed by another one of the
grouse turned clearly head over heels,
and fell headlong, and one of the other
two left three feathers behind them,
though he kept on after his unwound-
ed companion for about six hundred
yards. Then suddenly he began
climbing straight up into the sky, till
just when he was no more than a
speck, his wings collapsed, and down
he came, whirlng round and round
as he fell. He had been hit in the
lungs; birds always act like that when
they are hit in the lungs.
The keeper at once hurried toward
the place where he fell, after pick
ing up the first grouse, but he had not
taken four strides when he uttered
q shout Down oyer the edge of the
rolling white moor swept the old
cock raven. He had seen the second
grouse fall. and was racing the keep

The keeper can and swore and

Criminal Carelessness

inally careless individuals who go on
their devastating way, through the
world. breaking hearts and running
homes, and who think they have sur
ticiently atoned for the harm they do
by saying they didn't intend it.
In all the length and breadth OF con-
Trajectory human nature there is moth
ing stranger than that we should take
this overly charitable view OF Careless
ness. The simple testimony that ''he
didn't know the gun was loaded" has
been accepted as a handsome apology
for murder in innumerable cases. To
say we didn't think the rest OF US
regard as a blanket excuse that we can
stretch over all the lesser crimes in
the calendar. We work it for all that
it Is worth. - yet in reality 1t is a plea

Next morning the snow, after fall

The First Find.
The old cock raven set off at once
with a mighty rustic Of wings for the
lowlands. deciding that there was
nothing left on the moors TO die, or
to help to die. HIS first find was a
doe red deer in sheltered pine wood
She had got into a deep drift OF
snow, and was unable to get out
again. The raven perched on the bare
branch of a tree nearby and waited
for her to freeze. He was used to
this kind Of waiting by the way.
Unfortunately, however, the deer
would not freeze 20 death. She con
tlnued her struggles to get out, and
that kept her warm.
He flew down and beat the doc
about her defenseless head with his
big pickax shaped beak; and even as
he did so, silently as little boys steal

wish the outside OF the cooler to be;
the inside is made in the same man
