CRAFTY TOMNiIE SPARROW.

Tommie Sparrow had not been at all
fortunate in finding a ready-made home,
and his old one behind the blind had been
wrecked when someone closed the blind
on the house where he had lived so long.
He had asked Miss Jennie Sparrow to
marry him, and when she found he did
not have a nice home all ready for her, she
had told him she would marry Jack Spar
row the very next day if he did not build
nest with feathers.
''He has to build n new nest. He may

He cooked his little head on one side
and then on the other. He was trying to
think how he could get those feathers to
line the nest and right off; for there WAS
no time to be wasted.
