 thinking of birds at all.
 But hardly had Black Pussy start
 cd down along beside the old stont wall. when in the bushes ahead oj her she heard q chirp of a bird
 Black Pussy couldn't believe her owl, ears; that chirp was the chirp of Welcome Robin. She knew il, My what fun 1t would be 10 catch Vel. come Robin! Black Pussy crouched still all but the tip of her tail. and listened. Yes, that was the chirp of Welcome Robin; and, goodness. there was the cry of Kitty the Cat bird! You should have seen her yellow eyes glare with excitement. She know that Kitty the Catbird liked those bushes along the old stone wall and had built a nest there last spring. She didn't stop 10 think that she never had seen Kitty the Catbird in winter. Then she heard the notes Of small birds of varions kinds. It sounded as if there must be "a party--a feathered party-down in those bushes.
 Her tail twitching, her eyes glar. lng' Black Pussy stole along as only Black Pussy can. Every two or three steps she stopped and listened On she went, growing more and more excited with every step. This would be good hunting. Yes, indeed thls would be good hunting. She was sure of it.
 But presently Black Pussy began 10 wonder why she didn't come m With those birds, why she didn't see one of them Hitting about. To judge ny the sounds, they were moving along as fast as she was. She had almost reached the end of the old stone wall, yet she hadn't caught a glimpse of one of those feathered people. Then the twitching and the chirping began back of her. Black Pussy didn't know what to make of It. She turned about, There was no doubt that those birds were in the bushes drought which she had just come. Ha! She caught a glimpse of one. It was Mocker the Mocking Bird. But Black Pussy didn't know this. She began sneaking back and always that twittering and chirping Wa3 just ahead of her. Finally it stopped. Mocker the Mocking Bird had flown away. But to this day Black Pussy doesn't know why she couldn't find those birds along the old stone wall on the edge of the Old Orchard.
