mained at home, now came out. and
she was even Drawer than Drummer IN
trying to drive Mr.. Blacksnake away.
Once he struck at her and almost
caught her
But nothing that Drummer or Mrs.
Drummer could do changed Mr.. Black
snakes intention. He kept right on
and began to climb the tree. Now. some

most of them-cannot climb, but he
himself is a very good climber. and it
was no work at all for him to get up
to the round hole which was the door
way of Drummer's home. AS he drew
near he heard a sound that made his
eyes sparkle. You see, the babies in
side the hollow heard him. and, being
young and quite innocent of the dan
gers of the Great World. they thought
1t was their mother or father bringing
them something to eat, and so each be-
gan to call for the goody they thought
was being brought to them.
When Mr.. Blacksnake reached the
doorway he coiled himself about a
branch SO as not to lose his balance
and fall. and then he looked in at the

Orchard. had fully made up his mind to
dine on Young Woodpeckers. All about
him We're the little feathered people
who live in the Old Orchard. all scream
ing at him and calling him bad names.
He didn't mind this in the least. In
the first place, he was used to it. In
the second place, he knew perfectly
that bad names never yet hurt any one.
The truth is he had coiled up there
just to draw the birds around him.
You see. he is SO sharp that he knew
that he would be able to tell by the
way they acted when they saw, him
which ones had babies in their homes
and which had not. And sure enough
he could. He knew that the ones who
appeared the most worried at the sight
of him, who were the boldest and came
the nearest, were the ones who had
babies at home.
One OF these was Golde the Oriole.
His nest is way up high and out on
the slender branches. It is too much
work and too risky to climb way up
there" thought Mr.. Blacksnake.
Another was Chippy the Sparrow. "His
nest is not very high and is easy to
get to, but his babies are so small that
they are hafdiy worth WHILE" thought
Mr.. Blacksnake.

His babies are OF good size. and there
