 Chatter, chatter, chatter!' said Will, which meant in bird language. You thief, you thief"
 And off flew Willy Bluejay to tell all the birds in the woods that Miss Kitten was coming dressed in her new hat trimmed with the wings and feathers of their relatives.
 When Miss Kitten reached the mid dle of the woods there on the trees and bushes, out of her reach. of course, sat hundreds of birds, chatter ing like mad.
 "You are thief, you wicked cat !" they shrieked at her, you killed our children. you killed our mother, you killed our father you killed our sister and you killed our brother"
 At first Miss Kitten did not notice them, but as she walked along they flew over her, still screaming.
 Just before she reached the end of the path out of the woods down flew Willy Bluejay and picked off feather from her hat
 Seeing his daring, Tommie Sparrow grew bold aud down he swooped and took the hat right off Miss Kittens head
 "Pick out her eyes! Pick out her eyes!' cried all the other birds, flying around her, until Miss Kitten was so scared she ran
 But the birds followed. screaming and Tapping their wings, and at last Miss Kitten had to take refuge under some old boards and stay there until dark.
 Then out she crept, all her vanity gone, and never again did she bother the birds or have the least wish to trim her Sunday hat with feathers
