whats that-a new excuse for

answer caused Peggy's eyes to
flash with Indignation.
"Stlngy, indeed" she retorted.
I'VE are generous to our soldiers
and to our allies when we guard
every bit of food, so that they will

But what are we Pigeons going
to do if you don't feed u.s."
Peggy thought over that angle of
the matter Tor a moment. Then,
like true Yankee, she answered by
asking another question.
why don't you feed yourselves?"
How silly. We do feed our
selves. We pick up the crumbs that
people throw to us"

itself up haughtily and fuffed out
its feathers.

for further argument But her trown
