TWINKLE and CHUBBINS !:

the ducks and bothered the pig,
and made himself generally disliked
He had a way of perching upon tht
back of old Tom, papa's favorite
horse, and chattering away in Tom:
ear until the horse plunged and
pranced in his stall to get rid of his
unwelcome visitor.
Twinkle always kept the bandage on
the wounded wing, for she didn't know
whether it was well yet, or not, and
she thought it was better to be on the
safe side. But the truth was, that Jim
Crows wing had healed long ago,
and was now as strong as ever; and,
as the weeks passed by, and he grew
big and fat, great longing came
into his wild heart to fly again-far,
far up into the air and away to the
lands where there were forests of
trees and brooks of running water.
He didn't ever expect to rejoin his
family again. They were ttar enough
away by this time. And he, didn't
care much to associate with other
crows. All he wanted was to be free,
and do exactly as he pleased, and not
have some one cutting hira "a dozen
times day because he was doing
wrong.
So one morning, before Twinkle
was up, or even awake, Jim Grow
pecked at the bandage on his wing
until he got the end unfastened, and
then it wasn't long before the entire
strip Of cloth was looscned and fell
to the ground.
Now Jim fluttered his feathers, and
pruned them with his long bill where
they had been pressed together, and
presently he knew that his wing
which had been injured was exactly
'as strong and we'll as the other one.
He could fly away whenever he
pleased.
The crow had been we'll fed by
Twinkle and her mamma and was in
splendid health. But he was not at
all grateful. With the knowledge Of
his freedom . fierce, cruel Joy crept
into his heart, and he resumed the
wild nature that crbws are born with
and never lay aside as long as they
live.
Having forgotten in an instant that
he had ever been tame, and the pet of
a gentle little girl, Jim Crow had no,
thought OF saying goodby to Twinkle.
Instead, he decided he would do
something that would make these
foolish humans remember him for
long time. So he dashed into group
Of young chickens that had only been
hatched "a day or two before, and
killed several Of them with his strong,
curved claws and wicked black sbill.
When the mother hen few at him he
pecked at her eyes;land then, scream

to- new life in another part OF the
world
