Black the Crow.

AS you know, Blacky the Crow has
sharp eyes. If he is anywhere
around he doesn't miss anything
going on. He had been on his way
home from the Green Meadows when
he had seen Redtail the Hawk swoop
down the first time for Happy Jack
Squirrel.
II wonder who he is after" thought
BIacky the Crow, and changed his dl-
rection so as to fly nearer A second
Ia ter he chucked. "Whoever it was,
Redtail didn't catch him." thought
Then Redtail swooped again, and
Biacky began to fly faster. He flew
straight to the top of a tall pine
tree not far from the beech tree in
which was Happy Jack Squirrel. AS

Happy Jack Squirrel that Redta1l Is
after!"
lack lodged Redtail, Blacky began to
enjoy the excitement 1t pleased him
Immensely to see Redtail the Hawk
lose his temper and try and try in
vain to catch Happy Jack. Blacky
has no love for Redtail. So he sat
there in the top of the pine tree

But when Mrs. Redtail. suddenly ap-
neared and so nearly caught Happy

"Caw, cav, cav, cawH he shrieked.
IT was a call to his relatives and
friends. telling them Ito hurry over
there as fast as they could. At once
he got replies from different parts of
the Green Forest, and in few min
utes his friends and relatives came
hurrying UP to see what all the eX-
citement was about. BY the time the
last crow had arrived, Mrs. HAPPY
Lack had joined Happy Jack, trying
to help him. My, such an exciting
scene 1t was!
But Blacky's quick eye soon saw
that there was real danger that
Haupy Jack or Mrs. Happy Jack or
both would be caught. This Will
never do" said he to the other crows.
ssThis will never do at all. Those big
robbers mustn't catch Happy Jack

ont them there would be something
wrong with the Green Forest. 1t
wouldn't be the same place at all.
We've got to help them out. Yes. sir,
we've got to help them out"
Now crows are very like certain
class of people: A single crow is
very cautious and seldom takes any
chances, but a crowd of crows will

have thought of attacking either one
of those hawks. But with all his
