POLLY PERKINS, PARROT.

Polly, Polly wants cracker" sang
out bright green and yellow parrot
on Mrs. Clarke's porch one spring aft
ternoon.
Polly Perkins, who sat rubbing an
old teapot on the step, looked at the
bird lovingly. Polly evidently thought
it was time for conversation, for she
talked and whistled till every one
passing stopped to listen. She shook
herself and swung on her perch as if
very proud of her gay colors and of
having an audience.
Presently a carriage with a lady
richly dressed drove by; then, hearing
the bird turned and stopped at the
gate. Polly ran out to the street.
THAT is a very fine parrot you
have" said the lady. "Will you sell
it? | will give you $50 for it. 1t talks
so WELL"
Polly grew red with excitement.
twenty-five dollars would be an i'm
mense amount to her, for little brother
was sick and needed to go to the coun-
try. But could she part with dear old
Poll?
This is my address," said the lady,
handing the girl card, land if you
decide to part with the bird tomorrow
noon, let me know | would like to
have it to give my niece for birthday
gift"
Polly sat on the steps for an hour
waiting for her mother to return In
side she could hear Bob restlessly
turning in his bed.
twenty-five dollars would send him
to the country for a month"; said
Polly Perkins to herself. Il must sell
dear old Poll"
Il will put Polly in the closet while
clean the cage" said Polly Perkins
to herself; then the bird will look
her best when | take her to the lady"
So Polly was put in the closet-a
big, dark closet with lots of shelves
and little places all about it. 1t was
under the steps, and very rarely that
any one went into it at all.
So Polly Perkins cleaned and pol
ished the big brass cage, then she got
her hat and went to bring Polly out
of the closet. When she opened the
door she found the bird had knocked
q covered dish from the top shelf and
was pulling out of it queer, brown
leather bag. The bird tugged and
tugged, and at last with flop both
bird and bag tumbled at Polly Perkins
feet
Polly Perkins turned pale with eX-
citement when she saw the bag, then
jerking it up she ran to her mothers
room.
"Oh, mother, look what Polly found
in a dish in the top of the closet" she
cried, placing the bag in her mothers
lap.
"Why, it is the purse your father
put the money in the day he brought
it home" cried Mrs. Perkins, with
tears in her eyes. She opened the
bag and out tumbled the money
$4,000 in new, crisp green bills.
"Oh, you darling thing" screamed
Polly Perkins, grabbing the parrot
that was strutting about the table.
you have found our money! will
never sell you now, and Bobby can go
to the country and mother and |. too"
So Polly Parrot was not sold, but
lived a happy life in the pretty new
home that Mrs. Perkins bought. And
when the family went to the noun
tains the bird went with them and
kept up her funny chatter all the way
there.
