Skinner Once More Battles
for His Home.

Although Skinner the Swallow and
Mrs. Skinner had been driven from
the Old Orchard by Bully the English
Sparrow, who had stolen their home,
they did not at once give up hope.
We'll let him think that he has
driven us away" said Skinner, but
we'll always be on the watch, and if
once he and Mrs. Bully leave the house
unguarded. We will make another eff
fort to get it back. They are stronger
than we are, but even if did not love
the old home SO dearly, I would hate
to feel that we were driven out by
these upstarts from the city. One thing
they can't do. and that is stop us from
flying where we please"
So forthwith Skinner and Mrs.
Skinner spent all their time in the
air cutting wonderful circles and all
kinds of fancy figures high in the air
over the Old Orchard. But while they
were doing this they were all the
time looking down and watching their
old home. Bully and Mrs. Bully didn't
know this. or, if they suspected it.
they didn't care. They were SO sure

would not dare come back to fight

to build their nest in the house they

the door while Bully brought the hay
and dead grass with which to build
the nest. He worked as hard as ever
he could. but he couldn't find the, ma
terial and bring it as fast as she want
ed it. and she scolded him soundly for
being so slow. At last she grew SO
impatient that she began to make
short trips herself. Gradually these
trips became longer and longer, SO
