q Day ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY

1t was then after sunset And soon
Rusty Wren's family were all fast
asleep. without having heard any
more bird notes from hte farmhouse
The next morning Rusty awoke
just as the first streaks Of gray show
ed in the east He was about to begin
his dawn song when through the kit
chen window came that Cuckoo!
cuckool" again.
Rusty knew then that the strange
bird was still there.
did you hear that?" he asked his
wife.
She nodded her head silently.
He's telling Farmer Green that
it's time to get upl" Rusty exclaimed
Indignantly. "And since Framer
Green has seen fit to get somebody
else to wake him, l certainly shall not
trouble myself on his account any
more"
So Rusty Wren flew away to the
orchard to sing his dawn song. Jolly
Robin, who lived there, in an apple
tree, was surprised to hear Rusty
Wren singing in that neighborhood so
early. And he was still more astonish-
ed at Rustys melody.
His voice was so much shriller
than usual that jolly Robin knew in
stantly that something had displeas-
ed him.
whats happened to upset you?n
Jolly Robin inquired, after Rusty had
finished singing.
Il Xepect to come here and give my
dawn song every morning." Rusty
remarked "And if there's anybody
living in the orchard that objects, he
had better move away at once"
OF course jolly Robin didn't want
to do that. And he said as much, too
But l hope you'll sing a little
more happily" he told Rusty, "be.
cause | don't like to hear people COM
/ plaining-and neither does my wife
1t is easy to understand why Far
mer Green and his family oversight
when one knows that Rusty Wren nc
longer sang his dawn song beneath
Farmre Green's window. And wher
Rusty saw that the whole household
never stirred until long after sunrise
he was so pleased that he couldn't
help making a few remarks about the
new bird in the farmhouse, which had
annoyed him so by singing Cuckoo
cuckoo!"
This stranger is very poor song
ster!" Rusty said to his wife. "All he
can sing is Cuckoo! cuckoo!' in that
silly way of his He has no trills and
runs and ripples at all! And he CAM
ever repeat his song ten times a min.
ute, as l give mine. He has to wait al
least half an hour before he erie.
Cuckoo! cuckoo!' again. And no ont
but simpleton would ever attempt
to awaken hard-working farmer by
such half-hearted singing"
Mrs. Rusty quite agreed with hel
husband.
! Farmer Green will be sorry n,
brought home such a worthless bird
she said.
