ways been a favOrite pastime with
John so his mother permitted him
TO finish dressing and leave the house
without further interference.
He let himself out the back door
and went TO the barn, surveyed the
familiar scene and exchanged few
words with the driver who was busily
preparing for the mornings rounds.
1t was only little after o'clock
when he left the barn, crossed the
lawn and disappeared through the
hedge into his neighbours yard. He
climbed UP the back steps and pulled
open the lattice door as he balanced
himself on the top step. Against the
door stood a bed and in il two girls
were sleeping.
STOPPING down on all four he
crawled under il and proceeded
through the kitchen door on the 9TH
Ell side which he found unlocked.
With all the assurance of . general
who having planned a campaign on
familiar grounds finds the land lying
as he had anticipated. John proceed
ed into the quiet untenanted living
room. Low in the bay window hung
the canary cage which he had been
permitted frequently TO take down to
watch more nearly the capers of the
two canaries which inhabited it. He
puSneu a NiidlI nOiSilN across the moor
and climbing upon il removed the
cage from the hook.
Upstairs the mother of the sleeping
girls and the owner of the canaries
was dressing. She heard the back
door open and close and thought the
girls were coming in. She heard the
chair slid over the floor and with
puzzled frown greeted the ensuing
cOmmOtiOn among the canaries fol-
lowed by the sound of pattering foot
steps Any doubts which she may
have entertained as to who her visit
or was were dissipated and she has
tened down the steps in time to hear
the kitchen door bang, shutting out
the sound of the receding patter.
on the chair in the bay window lay
the cage. the open door hanging list
lessly on one hinge. On top perched
one disconsOlate canary and on the
floor were scattered eloquent yellow
feathers.
BY the time the owner of the de-
mOlished cage and it's disfigured if not
deceased inhabitants had opened the
back door and vaulted over her sleep
ing daughters, John was passing tri-
umphantly through the hedge holding
aloft by one leg the futtering, de-
nuded canary.
Johann hat es gethan again, but the
canary is still living, for which
Johann's mamma is duly grateful.
