FAIRY TALE

THE INDIGO BIRDS.

'Tve heard them say" Mrs. Indigo
Bird commenced, "that you don't treat
me well, my dear"
'What dreadful thing for any one
to say" Mr.. Indigo Bird replied an
grily. "How very terrible in fact!
How could any one say such a thing"
''I'm sure don't care" said Mrs.
Indigo Bird. "for know better. And
besides the less one pays attention to
the idle words of other folks-the bet
ter one is"
"True words, Mrs. Indigo, tue
words!'
Now Mr.. Indigo Bird wore beauti-
full blue suit-a deep, deep blue of the
most wondrous color and Mrs. Indigo
wore dull brown dress, with little
touches of blue on her wings.
"Why do folks-or birds-say that
don't treat you well?" asked Mr.. In
digo.
TITS this way" commenced Mrs. In
digo. "They say that you wear all the
beautiful clothes and that ] have to
have the old shabby things. And of
course, instead Of knowing my reason
for my dull clothes, and my lack of in
terest in beautiful ones, they at once
say it is because you don't care for ME
and so won't let me have lovely feath-
ers!''
"Such nonsensew exclaimed Mr.. In
digo. "Cheep, cheep, such nonsense"
Lets have some dinner and forget
all about it," said Mrs. Indigo.
"All right" said her husband, 1--WE
will"
They had a fine. meal of seeds and
herbs and grasses, and for dessert they
had q few insects. These they consid-
cred most delicious
Insects to the indigo birds are as de-
licious for dessert as ice cream and
cake would be for people!
It was a little time after this that
Mr.. and Mrs. Indigo Bird moved to
The Morgan County press. (Wartburg, Tenn.) 1916-1926, 1918-07-19

their new home, lovely grassy nest
which they had built in low bush.
And only short time after this Mr..
and Mrs. Indigo Bird seemed quite
nervous. They twitched and trem-
bled and shook when they saw people
nearby.
"Cheep, cheep," they would say.
Then Mr. Indigo Bird to make people
forget about Mrs. Indigo would slowly
and carefully, flying little distance
at time, reach high branch or top
most part Of shrub and there he
would sing, his very best song.
The song began bravely, every time.
He sang at the top of his lungs, but
each time he sang the song, his voice
grew weaker and softer towards the
end-just as though he had lost all
interest In the song.
But then he would begin again, sing
Ing Justify once more, and still another
time the same thing would happen.
For this is the way Mr.. Indigo Bird
has of singing! But still this time he
had great secret, and Mrs. Indigo
Bird had one too.
Back In the grassy nest were little
blue and white eggs, such precious
little eggs Soon they would become
dear little Indigo Bindings and how
happy and excited Mr.. and Mrs. In.
digo Bird were. The little birdlings
would soon come into the world, then
they would learn to fly, after that they
would learn to hunt for food-and la
ter on they too would guard other lit
tie nests of blue and white eggs. -t'f
So Mrs. Indigo Bird dreamed on
through the months as she looked at
the little eggs. And so Mr.. Indigo
Bird thought as he sang so bravely
TO all the world.
II was all he could do to keep from
singing. "Cheep, cheep, the little bird
ilngs, the little birdlings." But OF
course he was too wise a daddy to do
thatl Only that was the little song
which was singing in his heart, ana

Soon the birdlings came out Of the

unheralded and unsung, to whom
much of the credit is due. My husband

ours that we do things together. We

YOUNG PLATT'S BODY
IN VAULT AT MESTRE
Cannot be Sent Home Until After
War-LetterS Received Here From
Friends at Front.

Authentic details of the death OF
William Davenport Platt, the we'll
known young Baltimore society man,
who was recently killed in a bomb
attack at Mestre, Italy, have been
received by Addison X. Mullikin,
of Baltimore, from comrades of
Platt in the Wynne-Bevan Ambu-
lance Corps and with which Platt
abroad in September last.
From these letters it would APP
pear that, on the night when he met
his death, young Plat was one of a
party of six which went from the am
bulance station ON the outskirts of
Mestre to render succor to victims
of the rain of deadly missiles which
were at the time being showered ov-
er the city by Austrian aeroplanes.
Platt rode motor cycle and was ac-
companied by lad of Is years, af-
fectionately known to the corps as
Billy Fairfield The ride into the
town was by moonlight.
When there are aeroplanes on
moonlight nights" one of the letters
says, I'VE are always prepared to be
dispatched to the cities visited by the
enemy" The detachment of the
corps WulC WGuI W MSSIIS duu VI
which young Platt was a member
penetrated the town in safety, but in
the courtyard of the Regina ELENA
Hospital, which was a shining mark
under the then full moon for the
Apaches of the sky, young Platt and
his boy companion were struck and
instantly killed by an exploding
bomb.
Besides the boy, Billy Fairchild,
Francis Newton, the Italian lason
officer, and Count Teljemer were IN
the party with Platt when he was
killed. The body of Platt is now in
a private vault at Mestre, but under
the military rules in vogue at the
front, cannot be brought home until
after the war.
Mr.. Plat was the son of he late
William Davenport Platt and a
/ nephew of Mrs. Platt-Stone, with
whom he lived at Buckin CHAM, on
Lake avenue, before going abroad.
He was an artist and musician of
ability, was popular in Baltimore So
ciety, and also known in Cambridge.

To Move Seed

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S-That
field and garden seed may be for
warded by express in many cases is
indicated by inquiries among the
large express companies made thru
the Bureau of Markets, United States

the companies has established en-
bargoes against seed shipments and
they say that they are prepared to
cooperate fully in moving field and
garden seed, giving them preferred
attention wherever the necessity ex-
lists.
One company has established a
weight limit of 500 pounds for ship
ments of any commodity, but is will
ing to accept all seed in packages
