Bully the English Sparrow and

none of the other little people who
live in the Old Orchard like Bully
and Mrs. Bully. Farmer Browns
Boy had driven them out the year
before, and they had never tried to
so back.
But Bully is sharp-eyed. There
isn't a great deal gong on near him
that he doesn't find out about He
didn't discover those new houses in
the Old Orchard at once, but after a
few days he noticed that Winsome
and Mrs. Bluebird we're gathering dry
grass. and he knew that this meant
that they were building a nest. He
watched them fly over into the Old
Orchard and made up his mind that
they were building a nest there. Of
course, he wanted to know where
that nest was. so he few over to the

away he flew back to tell Mrs. Bully.
There are the finest houses you've
ever seen, my dear. over in the Old
Orchard" he declared "They are
brand new. and we ought to have one
of them"
Mrs. Bully looked at the nest be-
hind the blind and then over to the
Old Orchard. That nest was lust
about finished, but a nest behind a
blind wasn't to he compared with a
nest in a new house. "I'll 80 over
with you and look them over" she
declared
SO Bully and Mrs. Bully hurried
over to the Old Orchard and at once
began to examine those new houses.
Mrs. Bully found them even better
than she had expected. "We'll move
into this one at once" said she, and
without wasting any time began to
carry straw and dead grass into that
house. She even few over to her nest
behind the blind and tore that apart
to get material to take into that new
house.
Of course the other birds in the
Old Orchard discovered right away

Bully were not wanted over there, and
their neighbors told them so. But
this didn't make the least bit of dif-

They went right on with their work
just the same. You know Bully dear

The complete schedules of the estate
Of Theodore P. Shonts, who was presi-
dent of the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company, were on file yesterday in
the Surrogates' Court with the official
appraisal. Although the name of Mrs.
Amanda c. Thomas. friend of Mr..
Shopts, to whom he bequeathed his
residuary estate, appears among those
Of persons interested in the estate, she
ls referred to merely as "a person of
the per cent class" in the appraisal
itself, this dealing with the legacy
that eventually will be hers.
AS q matter Of fact there was no
residue of the Shonts estate 1t
was not large enough to pay the spe-
ciic legacies. which made it necessary
TO abate some of these. Instead of Mrs.
Thomas receiving the greater part of
the estate of MIR. Shonts. as it was be-
lieved she would when the will was
flied and the actual status of the es-
tate was not yet known, she gets no
part of it Immediately, but eventually,
and upon the death OF sister and two
nieces Of Mr.. Shonts. she will receive
the principal of trust fund amount
ing to SS0.653
Debts Absorb Estate
Mrs. Thomas did receive the house
hold effects and personal effects in the
apartment of Mr.. Shonts at $50 Park
Avenue, in which building she also had
an apartment, but she produced bill
Of sale for these articles under which
title passed TO her and actual delivery
was made. This transaction was &C
cepted rs bona fde by the transfer tax
appraiser and no tax was fixed ON the
articles covered by the bill Of sale.
1t is also shown by the appraisal that
Mrs. Thomas lent MIR. Shonts $25 900
In July, 1918. He repaid $500 of this
loan in July, 1919. and Mrs. Thoma%
had claim of $4,000, plus S1,720
against the estate which was paid her.
Mr: Shonts left iewelry valued at
Si'oeo to Herbert Thomas, son of
Mrs. Thomas.
1t was chiefly the debts of Mr..
Shonts that reduced his estate to a net
value of Sl89,745 from gross valua
tion of Ss35,466. These debts amount
ed to s513,0l1. The expenses of ad-
mlnistering the estate amounted to
$72,367. Some of the debts. ali on

claim for $4,000 for gowns purchased

Worthless Stocks in Estate
The smallness of the Shonts estate
is partly accounted for by the fact that
at the time of his death Mr. Shonts had
twenty-three groups of "cats and dogs"
that is, securities that were worth
less. Some of these were 1888 shares
