THE RED CROW
(By w. II. Waynick.)

! tBy w. II. NaynlCk.J
Il was many years ago. Crows were
having n merry time in the cornfields
of Iowa. pulling up the sprouted
grains. The old-fashioned scarecrow
had lost it's terror, as the birds had
learned that the straw man was only
make-believe. So the farmers would
hide along the rail fences and fire at
the crows with double-barreled shot
guns, killing some and wounding
others.
One day, as Bob and | were return
ing from a swim in the creek, we
found crow that could not fly, be-
cause it had some birdshot in its
wings. We took it home, where our
father, who was a physician and sur
geon, cared for the poor bird and
picked the shot from its wounds. We
built a coop for the crow and fed him
on sprouted corn, which he liked bet
ter than anything else. We called him
Jim.
Mother made red badge for Jim
Crow, which we tied on his neck. And
the bird was so black and the badge
so red that nothing but red spot
could be seen from a distance.
Uncle John told us if the crows
tongue were split it could talk like a
person. We took good care of Jim
and waited for him to get well so we
could split his tongue and teach him
to say "Nevermore," like Poe's raven,
Father would not promise right
away to split Jim's tongue but said if
we would take the crow from the coop
and let him run with the chickens
awhile, perhaps it would make him
strong enough to stand the operation.
When Jim was put in the barnyard
he flew away. Father excused him
self by saying that he had no idea Jim
had grown so strong and was sorry
we had lost him, telling us that it
would be no trouble to get another
crow, as there were thousands of
them.
We looked for Jim everywhere.
When the crows came to dig in corn
field, we would slip along the rail
fence to see if Jim was in the flock.
We ran from field to field, looking at
all the crows and asking the farmers
if they had seen a red one. No, they
had not noticed crow of that sort.
Bob said lie hoped Jim would SET S,lot
again, not load that would kill him,
but just enough to topple him over SO
we could catch him.
That afternoon, as If on signal, the
crows hurried to a mass meeting IN
Mr.. Bakers cornfield, flying to cen
trail point like an army lining up for
the battle of Armageddon. They cawed
and croaked and fluttered above the
field, and were almost as disorderly
as the U. S. navy on shore leave. They
fought in the air, then dashed to the
ground, where the battle was swift
and fierce. 1t was ended quickly, and
then the survivors separated into for
aging parties and flew away. We ran
to the battlefield, expecting to find at
least thousand dead crows. There
was but one, and that was Jim.
1t was many years ago. or course
at that time, a boy was not supposed
to know why crows should kill one of
their kind. Since then have studied
the habits of birds and brutes and
men, learning much from each of these
that I have met And now, when l
know how leading citizens of Seattle
treat their fellowmen, I begin to under
stand what it was that caused the
crows to mob jim. think it was his
red necktie.
