dCrfUI garden. All DAY he sat by the
Cpen window with his work, an air
gun at his side The robins would
strolled into that little paradise. Then
he would drop his brushes, seize his
gun and presently its missile would
go whizzing through the air, straight
against the side of the cat, who, feel
ing the sting of it, would bound
through the flower beds and leap over
the fence to avoid further punish
ment. Bob had also made an electric
searchlight out of his fathers old
hunting jack and, when those red
breasted policemen sounded their
alarm at night he was out of bed in
fifty and sweeping the tree tops with
broom of light, the jack on his
forehead. IF he discovered a pair of
eyes, the singing missiles flew toward
them in the light stream until the in
truder was dislodged. Indeed, he was
like q shepherd of old, keeping the
wolves from his flock. It was the
parish priest who first called him the
Shepherd of the Birds.
Just opposite his window was the
stub of an old pine partly covered
with Virginia creeper. Near the top
of it was a round hole and beyond it
q small cavern which held the nest
of pair of flickers. Sometimes the
female sat with her gray head pro-
truding from this tiny Oriel window of
hers looking across at Bob. Pat
Crowley was in the habit of calling
this garden Moran City," wherein the
stub was known as WOodpecker Tow
er and the f1ower-bordered path as
Fifth avenue, while the widows cot
tage was always referred to as City
hall and the weathered shed as the
tenement district.
What a theater of unprecedented
art was this beautiful, big garden of
the Judge! There were those who felt
sorry for Bob Moran, but his life was
fuller and happier than theirs. 1t is
doubtful If any of the worlds travel
erS ever saw more of its beauty than
he.
He had sugared the window-sill so
that he always had company-bees
and wasps and butterflies. The latter
had interested him since the judge
had called them "stray thoughts of
God" He loved the chorus of an Au-
gust night and often sat by his win
dow listening to the songs of the tree
crickets and katydids and seeing the
innumerable freely lanterns flashing
among the flowers
His work was painting scenes in the
garden, especially bird tricks and at
titudes. For this, he was indebted to
Susan Baker, who had given him
paints and brushes and taught him
how to use them, and to an unusual
aptitude for drawing.
One day Mrs Baker brought her
daughter Pauline with her-a pretty
blue-eyed girl with curly blonde hair.
four years older than Bob, who was
thirteen when his painting began. The
Shepherd looked at her with an eX-
clamation of delight; until then ne had
never seen a beautiful young maiden.
HOmely, ill-clad daughters of the
working folk had come to his room
with field flowers now and then, but
no one like Pauline. He felt her hair
and looked wistfully into her face and
said that she was like pink and white
and yellow roses. She was a dscov-
